"Our greatest joy and our greatest pain come in relationship with others."
-Stephen R. Covey-
***
Clara had been avoiding Raphael's gaze the next day, she still felt hurt from what had happened the previous day and he was fully aware of it too. She would not come out for breakfast although the housekeeper had tried knocking on her door several times on Raphael's order.
Sometimes when she was out of her room and he was also home, he would try making conversations with her but she always tried to find excuse for something else. Most of the time she would just lock herself in the art room, her cold attitude drove him insane. He felt hurt and rejected at the same time and it was not even entirely his fault. He thought he was starting to lose his mind.
Raphael knew he messed up, he should n

"Sisterly love, of all sentiments, the most abstract. Nature does not grant it any functions." -Ugo Betti- *** A week had passed since she avoided Raphael, although Raphael still tried to talk to her, she just had not forgiven him yet, it was one of her bad habit, she was not an all forgiving woman, especially if that person is someone who she trusted a lot, but considering what had happened to her recently, she found that she had every right to be upset. Many would say her behavior was rather childish, but when one looked at things from her perspective, it should be clear why she acted that way. Raphael himself had been busy with work and did not come home as often as he should, perhaps he was still feeling guilty for his attitude that night. Other than that, because Clara kept on ignoring him, he decided that he would let her be for a moment until she would calm down on her own. Life had been quiet, Clara pret

"The best gifts come from the heart, not the store." -Sarah Dessen- *** Clara curled up in her bed with the blanket going all the way to her head, she constantly squirmed around and shifted her body to find a comfortable position, that was when her feet accidentally kicked the edge and she felt something round and cushiony on bed end sofa. Still half asleep, she pushed away her blanket and found a round white box with blue ribbon and a bouquet of white lilies above the cushion. Is it another gift? She rubbed her eyes and opened it up to find a gown. Pulling it out from the box, she stood up and laid it on the bed to get a better look at it. It was a cerulean blue open back gown with marshmallow white ombre at the bottom with white flowers embroidery vertically on top. It was a rather simple yet stunning design. Clara had never said it out loud but blue was actually one of her favorite color, as an artist, she was not supposed

"In all the world, there is no heart for me like yours. In all the world, there is no love for you like mine." -Maya Angelou- *** They arrived at Shangri La hotel Paris, which was a former residence of Prince Roland Bonaparte. Clara had always imagined what it would be like to enter one of those extravagant building, she had been to several huge parties in Bordeaux, but none of the were as lavish as what she witnessed that night. as they entered the main hall, those who knew Raphael had their eyes fixated on Clara. They began to wonder who the woman he brought along with him was. After all, it was known that Raphael had never brought any women with him to parties before. It was definitely going to be a hot topic in their circle the next day. Clara was well aware of the stares, there were a few times when she would feel uncomfortable with them, but after everything she has been through so far, it was the least of her concern.

"Whatever spiteful fools may say, each jealous ranting yelper. No women ever went astray without a man to help her." -Abraham Lincoln- *** Everyone on the table had their eyes on Clara for an obvious reason. It came as a shock to nearly everyone who was personally familiar with Raphael, even Corentin who never bothered much withpeople'sliveswas aware of Raphael's clean reputation regarding women. His eyes went down to herhand andhe saw the engagement ring on Clara's hand. He was a bit unsure why but he was not truly pleased with the truth. "Isthat true? Congratulations, I am happy for you two." Corentin spoke with a hint of sarcasm. For whatever reason it might be, he felt a bit disappointed, he had hoped she was single and available, but something inside of him simply could not let her go despite Raphael's declaration. Yes, he had only met her once before that but that short

"When women are encouraged to be competitive, too many of them become disagreeable." -Benjamin Spock- *** Clara was washing her hand when she heard a creaking sound from the door. It was Jovanna. Clara had not previously noticed that she was there as well as one of the guest, she was a bit nervous around her due to how their last meeting ended but she tried to keep her cool and minded her own business. Jovanna walked beside her and pretended to wash her hand as well. Their reflection was both seen the mirror. Clara finished first and pulled her body away and wanted to walk away when Jovanna could not even bother to hideher dislike for Clara anymore. "You must feel really great about yourself, having a great man like Raphael backing you up." Jovanna accused with a low and cold tone. "Excuse me?" Clara turned her head yet her body stood still. Jovanna did not even bother to turn to face her when replying with an e

"The first step toward getting somewhere is to decide that you are not going to stay where you are." -Unknown- *** The sound of water boiling screeched from the stove made Marcel put down the knife he was holding and went over to turned the stove off. He poured the hot water on the coffee machine and made two mugs of cafe au lait for himself and Giselle, who right at that moment sprung out from the bathroom with a white towel wrapped around her hair. She removed it and pat her hair dry as she walked toward Marcel in a semi purring motion like a kitten. "That smells delightful, have you put extra creamer on my cup? She touched his shoulder from behind, the sweet and gourmand vanilla scent of her shampoo overcame Marcel's senses. He gave her a quick peck on the lips before carrying the coffee cups on top of the dining table. It was starting to become their daily morning habits where he would make both of them some coffee while

The great ones have radar." -Cathy Guisewite- *** The sound of gentle flowing water from the pond combined with the chirping of the birds who had just come out from their nest. The moist morning air and sparkling dew on leaves surface created the perfect scene for morning meditation. Darline Desroches laid down her yoga mat on the grass and positioned herself in a comfortable position. In a Sukhasana position (sitting comfortably with leg crossed) she worked on her breathing. Inhaling deeply, held it in for a good ten seconds and exhaled. She entered an even state of mind, and felt absolutely relaxed. It was then when someone decided to disrupt her peaceful moment. And it was no other than her husband, Archard Desroches. "Honey, have you seen my power tie?" He slid the glass door. Darline was annoyed. Out of all time in a day he had to interrupt her morning meditation session. Even though

He could finally have his Saturday in peace as he had finished work, though he was quite a workaholic, it was nice to turned his mind off from work a bit and enjoyed the present. Usually he had dozens of plan in his head for the weekend, one was having a quick travel to a neighboring city through car or just hang out at a nice cafe or restaurant for a change of scenery, but since having Clara, he was beco
