"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

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

"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

"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

"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
