“Karina, I’m so sorry! Hwaaa….” Karina had just stepped back into the house after being in the hospital for several days and the first thing she saw was a crying Leo. The boy quickly ran and clung around to her to moment she entered.
She knew she was not supposed to smile, but she couldn’t help herself. She gently patted the boy’s hair and soothed him.
“It’s okay, Leo, it’s not your fault.” She reminded him.
“But, but, if I never asked you to go to the park, you wouldn’t be injured like this right now. It’s all my fault! I’m so sorry, Karina, hwaaa…” He sobbed again and Karina gently tapped his shoulder and back to comfort him.
“No, it’s okay to ask for things, Leo. What happened was just an unfortunate coincidence, you shouldn&rsqu

"How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard."-Winnie The Pooh-***Karina was just done with shower that day when she headed down for breakfast, thinking she would have a quiet morning, but as she was passing by the living room. She saw someone that gave her an early morning surprise.Eden was sitting in the sofa beside a familiar looking woman with her striking raven hair and red streak.“Hello, Karina Darling.” It was none other than Leo’s mother, Lobelia. She was stylish in her leopard print jacket and boots. A bit too old fashioned for some, but somehow she managed to make it look really good. She removed her glasses at her sight and winked.“Lobelia, what are you doing here so early in the morning?” She asked.“Why, of course. I’m here to pick my son up from this place. I’ve just returned back here yesterday but I thought I should r

"The secret to happiness is to face the fact that the world is horrible, horrible, horrible."-Bertrand Russell-***“What is this all about?” Karina wondered as he brought her to the salon early in the morning to do a full body treatment. She was about to be transformed from head to toe and she was not sure if she was ready for it.“It’s all for tonight’s event. I want you to look your best. There will be a lot of important associates of mine. The people you have never met before. Our wedding was a private and intimate one. There are still plenty of people you need to meet since you are my wife. First impression is everything.” He stated.“But, Eden, this is just too much. Way too much.” She tried to reason. The entire treatment would take her roughly eight hours to complete from hair, nails, toes, skin and makeup. It was probably going to be the most exhausting beauty treat

"Those things please more, which are more expensive."-Juvenal-***“What is this place?” The helicopter eventually arrived at New York and landed in a helipad of a building she had never seen before. As she looked down, she saw a gathering of people who were entering the building one by one.They all looked like important people. Karina thought her dress was fancy enough but almost everyone was dressed in similar fashion as hers. These people were out of her league.They were the kind she only saw once in a while in movies. It felt surreal and she almost felt out of place when Eden grabbed her hand and asked her to come with him.They entered the lift and once it was opened, she saw a grand ballroom filled with people. There were tables on each side of the room for the guests.Each table had been arranged perfectly from the most important to the least important guest. The most important ones were

"Seduction isn't making someone do what they don't want to do. Seduction is enticing someone into doing what they secretly want to do already."-Benjamin T. Russell-***"What took you so long?" Karina asked as Eden walked back into the room."Sorry, I was talking to my brother and Jacob. Anyway, here is your clothes for the night and this one is for tomorrow." He handed her the clothes and Karina took them before heading to the bathroom to take a shower.Meanwhile, while she was busy inside, Eden opened up the bag Jacob gave her and set everything up.After she changed, Karina planned on going straight to bed, however, when she walked out of the bathroom, the ambience of the room completely changed.Karina had no idea what it was. If it’s because of the soft jazz playing in their room, the sensual sandalwood scent, the dim warm lighting or the or because of the romantic suite they were staying in.

"Crying is for plain women. Pretty women go shopping."-Oscar Wilde-***“The weather today is beautiful, isn’t it?” Eden asked the rhetorical question to the three people who accompanied him that day.“It is. We’re also quite lucky to be able to enjoy today’s weather in the garden like this. It makes breakfast more exciting.” Amber seemed extremely cheery that day for some reason. It did not matter what, she was always bursting with energy.“So, what are your plan for the day? Are you going straight back to New Hampshire or what?” Eden questioned both Declan and Amber.“Actually, I managed to get Declan agreeing to go luxury shopping with me. Come to think about it. Do the two of you want to come with us? Since we are already in New York, I think it will be such a waste to not shop. It’s luxury paradise here.” Karina thought a little luxury sho

"Being pregnant is an occupational hazard of being a wife."-Queen Victoria-***Karina woke up that morning feeling tremendously sick. Eden had been away for a business trip for two days and he would only be back in three days. It would be a bad news if she developed any kind of serious illness when he was away.Even though there were maid, chef and guard in the house, it was not enough to make her feel better.She could not do anything productive and even when she tried to eat, she felt so nauseous she only ended up eating a small portion from her morning meal. The chef noticed that she was not finishing her food and asked her if she was fine.“I’m just feeling a bit nauseous, that’s all.” She tried to smile. She wanted to take some medication but at the same time Karina was the type of woman who did not like to be reliant on drugs and medicines so she asked the chef to make something to al

"Anger against a brother is felt in the flesh, not in the bone." -African Proverb- *** Eden was flying back from his business trip after a few days. It was pure torture for him. Being away from his wife was quite painful. He missed her so much and could hardly concentrate. Then he remembered that he was doing all the work for her sake as well. Wealth was useless without women. It has always been since the beginning of time. “Karina, my baby. I can’t wait to see you again.” He was so excited. When he arrived at the airport, he opened his phone to call her because she had not been accepting his calls that often during his trip. As he opened his chatting apps, he found a new message from his brother, Declan. It was rare to see his brother messaged him first. Eden opened it and looked at the message. “I’ll pick you up in the airport.” Followed by a short follow up message. “I’m here.” It was quite

"The best surprise is no surprise." -Kemmons Wilson- *** Eden walked into the house and saw Karina sitting in the back garden while drinking her tea. He slowly approached her, about to give her a surprise when she suddenly stood up and turned her body around, seemingly surprised by Eden’s presence there. “Ah, you’re back.” She spoke casually. He smiled at her and pulled her into a hug. How he had missed hugging her like that. “I miss you, baby. Did you miss me?” He asked her before planting a small kiss on her cheek. Instead of saying yes, she pulled herself away from him. She seemed nervous, as if she was hiding something. Eden thought Karina must be afraid if he knew she spilled the truth to Declan. As much as Eden was annoyed by it, his love for her was much greater than that, he decided to drop it. He did not want her to fear him again if he brought the conversation to surface. So, he tilted his head, pret
