"People are not disturbed by things, but by the view they take of them."-Epictetus-***“I managed to obtain everything you requested.” Lucas sat down and handed over a file to Ian. He looked distressed. Even though he had other people handle the matter, Lucas couldn’t help but worry about his boss and friend.“Why are you doing all of these for her? I thought it was just a game to you.” Lucas demanded an explanation. What exactly was Ian thinking? He definitely lost his mind for this woman but he wanted a justification for it.“I know, this is all just so unreasonable and I have strayed way too far from my initial path. But for some strange reason, when I see Victoria, I feel helpless. It’s dangerous. I lost control of myself. But it’s only for her. She is the one who can make me become so irrational like this. Surprisingly, it’s not an unpleasant feeling.” A small smile escaped his lips.Lucas knew he had lost his boss. Well, not physically, but the Ian before him a love struck foo

"It isn't what they say about you, it's what they whisper."-Errol Flynn-***“What are you doing here so early in the morning, Ian?” Victoria had just opened the door to get some fresh air and Ian was already there with a smile on his face.It had been almost a month since the last time she saw him. She thought he was never coming back.So it was quite a surprise to see him there. She didn’t even know how he managed to pass the house security but considering everything that had happened between them in the past, it shouldn’t be so strange to see him going back and forth to her house.“I have come to bring good news. Before I tell it, do you mind inviting me in?” He asked. She sighed, unsure if it was a good idea considering Darius was preparing breakfast for them. He might get upset again if he saw Ian inside the house.“It’s about your brother’s murderer

"The eyes start love, intimacy perfects it."-Publilius Syrus-***“Madame, are you sure you want to do this?” Darius asked her as she sat on the edge of the bed with her silk robe on.“Are you hesitating now? Wasn’t it you who offered your body to me? Do you want to step back?” She asked. He immediately shook his head.“No, Madame. I simply cannot believe this is happening. Then, I will do my best to please you.” He stated as he removed his suit and shirt, revealing his naked body that resembled a Greek God.Truly, it was quite a sight to behold. Darius had a few scars from the years but beside that, he was almost immaculate.It was like a dream come true. He got on his knees and started kissing the tip of her feet. Victoria had not felt that in a long time. The fact that Darius was tall and well-built made everything seemed even more strange.Wilfred was decent for his age in the past but Darius was still young and virile. She wondered what it would be like to have him inside of her

"All, everything I understand, I understand only because I love."-Leo Tolstoy-***Victoria was getting ready for her wedding day. She didn’t think she would end up getting married again so soon after Wilfred passed away, worse, to a man who wasn’t even an option for her in the first place. Someone she didn’t think she would want to spend the rest of her life with.Even though she had some feelings for him, she wouldn’t say she married Ian for love. However, she was not dreading the marriage as well because she knew all the technical aspect of it had been taken care of through the prenup.He had also agreed that her business would still remain with her so she didn’t have to worry about him trying to take over her business at all.He had hired an entire team of makeup artist, hair dresser and stylist to help her throughout the day, it reminded her of when she was married to Wilfred, only this time the pressure was so much less since the age gap between her and Ian wasn’t that much so

"Schemes are like fruit, they require a certain ripening."-George R.R. Martin-***“What is this?” Ian asked when Lucas came with an invitation letter in his hand.“It’s from Darren Quinston. The man is inviting both you and Victoria to have dinner with him.” Lucas replied.“What? Why would he do something like this? That man has never reached out to me in the last few months.So why would he suddenly take interest in my business after I am married?” He questioned even though Ian already knew the answer deep down. Darren was definitely scheming something.Even though the two of them already made a treaty to stay out of each other’s business, something was definitely shifting in the time when Ian was busy with Victoria.It was something he couldn’t predict yet but he knew right away he needed to be careful about the way he handled this.One w
