"I believe that if you don't disrupt yourself, you will be disrupted by someone else."

***
Karina was at home by herself that day. Eden was off to work like usual, the staff were doing their thing. There was nobody there she could talk to and Karina was starting to feel a little bit lonely.
She opened up her phone and she suddenly saw a message from an unknown number. Karina was sure that her phone was bugged by Eden so it was unlikely for an unknown number to reach her. Who could possibly manage to text her?
She was a bit hesitant but eventually decided to open it and saw a shocking message. It was from Michelle Langdon. She introduced herself again and wondered if they could meet up for a talk because there was something she needed to tell Karina.
“I have to tell you something. It’s about your husband. He is not who you think he is. If you want to meet me, we can arrange a meeting. Jus

"The moment sex ceases to be a servant, it becomes a tyrant."-G.K Chesterton-***Michelle Langdon wasn’t always into women.

When she was in college, she met that man. Eden Black.He was everything she ever wanted in a man. He was handsome and intelligent. He also came from a wealthy family her father would approve of.

"I want to do with you what spring does with the cherry trees."-Pablo Neruda-***“Good morning, baby.” Karina woke up that day by Eden’s gentle nudging. She slowly opened her eyes and saw his bright smile. She had no idea why he was smiling like that but she smiled back at him in return.“Let’s have breakfast at bed today, Karina. I had the chef prepared these for you. All of them are safe to be eaten in the bed, mess free.” He stated before handing a glass of water to her.She wondered why he suddenly wanted to have breakfast in bed when he usually hated having mess around the bed except for that time.“You’re acting a bit strange, Eden. Are you okay?” She asked with a raised brow.“Yes, I’m fine. I just thought it would be nice to break the routine for a little bit. I know I have been annoying you lately and our relationship cracked a littl

"The confession of evil works is the first beginning of good works."-Augustine-***Karina thought she was going to fall to the water because she accidentally slipped on the rock but then a strong pair of arms caught her from behind. It was none other than Eden. Their eyes met for a few seconds and he quickly helped her to stand up again.“Be careful, Karina, we can’t have you fall down anymore.” He reminded her. Yes, she was carrying his baby at the moment, they surely would not want any accident to happen. Karina nodded and leaned forward a little, about to grab the water but then he stopped her.“You know what, let me help you.” He dipped his hand in the water and contained it for her to drink. He placed his hand in front of her lips, gesturing for her to drink and Karina thought about it for a second before she took a sip out of it.The water was cool and fresh. If she was to be ho

"There are seedsof self destruction in all of us that will bear only unhappiness if allowed to grow."-Dorothea Brande-***The room was a complete mess. Pieces of glasses were scattered everywhere. The pillow was thrown on the floor and the bed had taken a hard beating from Michelle’s fist. The woman was enraged.She just opened up her phone that evening after a long day at work and found a message from Karina that stated she was cancelling their meeting. She also blocked Michelle and she couldn’t find other ways to reach her.“No, this can’t be happening. I was so close. So close.” She kept on muttering. Her plan almost worked. The plan to make Karina hate Eden. That way, she would have a chance to get closer to her and destroyed that man from the inside out.Not long after that, her phone suddenly rang and she quickly rushed over to pick it up. From the other side of the line, she co

"The man who can keep a secret may be wise, but he is not half wise as the man with no secrets to keep." -Edgar Watson Howe- *** “I thought I already told you not to come to my house again, Declan.” Eden was displeased when he saw his younger brother in front of his door quite early in the weekend. Declan did not seem faltered by his statement and invited himself in. He walked into the living room and took a seat as if he owned the place. “What’s your business?” Eden wanted to get straight to the point, which Declan appreciated since he was also more into the mature approach. “I’m just checking up on my brother and sister in law. Is there anything wrong with that? He questioned. Eden knew he would use that excuse again and laughed it off. He was not in the mood to be confrontational that morning since he had been through enough drama in the past week. Declan looked outside the window and saw the leaves falling

"Pursue what is meaningful, not what is expedient."-Jordan B. Peterson-***“What is this?” Karina was taking a walk in front of her house when a guard approached her with a letter in his hand.“This is an invitation from Madam Libel.” He told her. Eden was at work that morning so he thought it was best to give the letter to Karina instead. She took it and thanked the guard before going back inside the house to see what the letter was all about.“Dear Eden and Karina,Leo has been requesting to meet you again since you parted. Therefore, as a good mother, I would like to fulfill my son’s wish. I would like to invite you over to my place for dinner tomorrow evening. Please inform me if you are available.With love and kisses, Lobelia Libel.” The letter was incredibly short and she could easily send the message over through a phone call. Instead, she chose to do it the

"Don't say 'wife'. I'm your mistress. Wife's such an ugly word. Your 'permanent mistress' is so much more tangible and desirable."-F. Scott Fitzgerald-***After an hour ride, Karina and Eden eventually arrived at Lobelia’s house. However, it would sound too humble to call the place a mere house because it was definitely a mansion. No, in fact, it was more than just a mansion.The place looked like it came straight out of a fairytale, a palace. The location of the house was also quite far from the city, similar to Eden, she chose a secluded area to reside in. That one aunt of Eden was truly no ordinary woman.“I did not think there is a house of this size in New Hampshire. Is it even on the google map?” She questioned. Eden chuckled at her remark. It was truly normal.Anyone who saw the place would assume the same thing. Since Eden grow up in similar environment, he was used to it. For an ordinary

"A child can teach an adult three things: to be happy for no reason, to always be curious, to fight tirelessly for something."-Paulo Coelho-***“Ah, you are still the same, Eden. Always get straight to the point. Then, I will tell you what I want.” She smiled and steeped her fingers together.“I need your men to search for someone for me.” She stated. Eden’s expression remained flat. He did not seem surprised by the request at all. It was the opposite, he seemed to be expecting it.“Aunt Lobelia, you have all of these men here and yet none of them could do the job for you?” He sarcastically remarked.“Unfortunately yes. It’s just none of my men are as skilled in the detective play as yours. I could hire a private detective but doing the business with you would be a lot safer for me. We’re relatives, after all. Surely, you would help out this aunt of yours
