They say, 'there is unequivocally no shame in being hungry for another person. Because, desire is simply the very nature of the universe itself. And, in desire to happen, it should start with a sparkling tension. The kind of tension anyone would burn instantly if they come closer and closer'. "Bloody hell! Why do you look like that?" Dionysus exclaimed after seeing Zoey walk inside their room drenched in dripping water right after he had finished buttoning up his suit. He gulped and averted his eyes because he could definitely see Zoey's brassiere and a little bit of her cleavage through her wet shirt. Suddenly, Dionysus felt thirsty, very, very thirsty. "The pipe under your kitchen sink was broken. Your grandpa wanted to call the plumber but I insisted on fixing it myself. I have a license for it, remember?" Zoey smiled but Dionysus' body started to burn again. His breathing became uneven. "Hey. What's wrong with your face? It's so red." Zoey was about to touch Dionysus' face but
Knowing a person is like listening to good music. Because, what attracts us to them is their most unique melody. And, as we get to know who they are, we also get to learn their most enticing lyrics. Amanda dropped a pile of folders and documents as tall as a human in front of Zoey. "This is sir Dio's schedule for the next thirty days. And, this is for the next month and the month after that. It also contains his schedule that varies each day of the week. So, you have to memorize not only the scheds, but also what time they will be held, where, how, why and why not." Then, another folder. "This is the list of all his different companies all around the world. May it be his oil-producing companies, telecommunications companies, business process outsourcing, private sector electric distribution utility companies, food and drink service companies, social networking service companies, mine production and many more. You have to learn all of them. Not only that, you have to know how all thos
They say, 'jealousy is when you want something that is not truly yours to begin with. Because, where there is no jealousy, there is no true love at all'. In the blink of an eye, Zoey fell on the floor behind her after hearing her full name be hollered like that. But, instead of being scared of Dionysus' tone, her alluring almond, hazel eyes sparkled before she got up and ran towards Dionysus. "Ohh, my god! You're here! Finally! I have to tell you something! Kyaah!" Then, Zoey squealed like a teenage girl."What? What is it? And, hey. Don't change the topic! Why are you dancing like that inside my god-damned office! The blinds are open! Someone might see you from somewhere.""But, we're on the eighteenth floor. And, it's still early." "And, so? Do you call that an excuse?" Dionysus loosened up his tie because he suddenly felt thirsty again. He strutted towards Zoey's desk and turned off the disturbing music with subtle inviting lyrics himself. "Go get me some water. Quickly."But in
Let love simply bloom more, even with rejection sometimes. Because when it surges back, it would be impossible to be stopped again. Zoey halted from her steps when she saw a silhouette opening the fridge after she stepped inside the kitchen. She got thirsty in the middle of the night so she wanted something to drink somehow. "Hello? Dio, is that you?" Zoey turned on the lights and there was her husband, looking for something while his back was bent over. Zoey averted her gaze for a while because damn. Dionysus' back looked so manly on her eyes. "I just wanted to make you some milk. I promised to do that for you nights ago, remember?" Zoey strutted towards Dionysus, leaned towards the countertop, hugged herself and watched him prepare a glass and a carton of fresh milk. "Do you want it warm or what?""Warm." Zoey breathily said. "Right. Yeah, I remembered." Zoey blew a deep breath. She can feel it, the tension. The tension between her and Dionysus ever since their lunch from that r
As your feelings for someone grow stronger than ever, so will your fear of losing them as well. The colorful lights, the noise of the different arcade machines and the non stop chattering everywhere made Dionysus' patience to gradually start tearing apart bit by bit. But, it cannot be seen on his handsome face at all. "I know that trait of yours very well, Apollo. This is why I didn't dare to bring all of my men at all."Apollo smirked. "Really? Is that so?" Then, Apollo looked at Sebastian who only rolled his eyes at Dionysus' half older brother. "Or, you just thought that you and your sidekick with an ugly scar on his face would be able to seize my army and my wits just like that?""I'm smarter than you. Don't try disrupting the truth." "But, it's true, brother." Dionysus sighed in sheer anxiety. It's been over an hour since he left the mansion. He was so anxious to think that Zoey might have woken up in the middle of the night and found out that he was gone before he could come b
They say, 'suspicion is the greatest enemy of love, whether it is true or not. Because there is always some madness in love and whether we like it or not'. Sebastian was about to let go of the rope on his hands, but the third man shouted as well, with his resentful eyes looking at Dionysus' direction. "You think you're so mighty, Dionysus Chevalier! Think again!""What are you doing? We should be begging at him!" The second man intervened."No! Let him kill us or our real boss will execute us instead!" The first man stole the spotlight as well. The third man grinned like a devil, only a hideous one. "You heard that? We know so much more about you than you can imagine! And, one thing is for sure! We don't really work for Apollo Montgomery! Because we work for someone else! And, that someone is aiming to inject misery on you sooner than you expected! That someone is planning to kill the most precious person in your life! So, be ready!" Dionysus snatched the rope from Sebastian's hand
The irony of love is that when love comes knocking on our door, we tend to be scared because we know nothing about it. That's why we push people away, when in fact, in reality, deep inside us, we want them to be pulled closer to us more and more and just never let go. Zoey stood up and left Dionysus in the guestroom, still with the little puppy in her arms. "Zoey, wait. Let me explain. Hey. Witch!" Dionysus followed his wife but Zoey went straight to the mansion's elevator. They walked past the old Chevalier who was with his head nurse having some tea on the veranda but both Zoey and Dionysus didn't get to see them."What's happening, Chrissy? Looks like they're having a lover's quarrel." Mr. Hermes asked in amusement. The head nurse giggled and nodded her head. "I think it's kind of normal, sir Hermes. Don't they look so cute? Ever since sir Dio met miss Zoey, he had gotten more alive and energetic. They seemed so in love." "Well, that lovely little girl surely had brought colors
A little bit of jealousy even in a relationship is quite dazzling. Because, everyone would say that it's sometimes nice to know that someone is so afraid of losing you."Can't we just talk about this when we get home? I just want to focus my mind on seeing my family again. Please?""Coward." Zoey clenched her jaw but still tried to understand Dionysus. "It's alright. You can think that way. It's better to be a coward than to be hurt in the end. I had realized long ago that someone like me won't be able to find that one true love everybody fancied about.""Fuck this shit." Zoey was surprised because when she looked at Dionysus again, her husband was silently crying but he was so fast to wipe it all out while his eyes were still fixated on the road. "Ohh, my god, Mr. Chevalier. Are you crying?" Zoey looked like she couldn't believe what she was witnessing right now. Who would've thought that she could make the most ruthless C.E.O. cry for her just because of his feelings she doesn't w
