After he refused to make that actress’ wedding dress. He did it for his cousin,”“They say Vincent Valory fell in love with her in his dreams and kept looking until he found her,”“Did you see how he was looking at her earlier? I wish my husband would look at me like that from time to time,”“I heard that Gina Lee will give them this manor as a wedding gift. After all that mess with her ex’s family because she refused to let them marry her. Gina had probably been vying on someone like Valory to marry her favorite granddaughter,”Aira sighed as she leaned against the wall stretching her legs out to rest them from standing on high heels for too long.

Confrontations and Charm
"You must have met your husband right after you met William. Poor Will didn’t stand a chance against the CEO it must have been an easy pick for you…”Aira remained silent as she watched the woman talk her lungs off to them. Vincent on the other side, couldn't let it slide and he stepped forward."Excuse me?" Vincent said.The impertinent woman looked back at him with an attitude that didn't match her ridiculous argument."What I'm saying is that she didn't hesitate to move on from my brother to you. But now I can see why. Although my brother could buy you a vintage car, there's no way that he would be able to afford to make this kind of wedding for you," She said."First of all, ma'am. The vintage car you're talking about is one that I chose for Aira because she was too busy to go pick another car with the insurance money from her previous car crash. And this wedding is something that we both made, just look where you're standing and think about it a little bit more. This is Aira's g

Wedding Night 1
Vincent stepped back awkwardly as Astrid, Aira’s cousin, made another attempt to feel up his arm. Aira was beside him again trembling while trying ro keep a straight face.She was wearing a long light grey dress that had long stylish sleeves and an uncovered back. She looked gorgeous.Throughout the evening, Vincent got to slowly introduce her to his familly members while her familly members attacked them on eccentric artist after another.While she’d acted exactly like she should have with his familly, being courteous and entirely distant as if their status was far beneath hers.Which it was in terms of money and power dynamics in this city. Aira rarely showed it, the day he met her she’d acted so normal and down to earth that he though she was really just a normal girl from a middle class familly. But when he had her background checked he realised how wrong he had been, and he had been impressed.Women with Aira’s status and power, people like her who had trust funds that would las

Wedding Night 2
Aira looked at the huge room before her in wonder. It was a huge room occupying most of the third floor with a panoramic view looking into the city.“What do you think?“ Vincent asked behind.She turned around to look at him with a bright smile and found the hotel manager who personally showed them to their room looking at her expectantly. “I love it! The view is wonderful. And the decoration, I love how personalized everything is,”“I’m glad you like it, Mrs Valory. Mr Valory prepared this room, especially for you to suit your tastes,” the manager told her and she looked at Vincent who gave her a wink,“Do you like it, Mrs Valory?” He asked grabbing her waist and pulling her to him.“I like it very much, Mr Valory,” she said smiling and lifting her hands putting her arms on his shoulders. “O will take my leave them. Please let us know if you need anything,” the manager said as he stumbled outside.Aira waited for him to close the door behind him to chuckle leaning to the side to loo

Our Three Years
Aira sighed as she patted Vincent on the back."Can you look up for a moment?" She asked and he mumbled a response that she couldn't hear,"What?" She asked gently as she stroked the back of his head as it rested on the brook of her neck."I want to stay like this," He mumbled"We can't stay like this the whole night," She told him with a sigh and he finally leaned back from her neck and looked at her."Do you hate it?" He asked"No, I don't..." She answered honestly and he smiled and leaned forward again with her still in his lap and pressed his forehead to hers. "You're driving me crazy, Aira Valory," He whispered,"As you do... Vincent Valory," She responded, "But we need to be careful around each other. We have to make this work for the next three years and this could complicate things a lot," "I know..." He answered, "I know, Aira," He said with a deep sigh as he leaned forward into her making their position even more intimate. There was nothing sexy about this, nothing seductiv

New Life
"I have a few things to take care of right now, Sia," Aira said, "I know that you keep having to make adjustments but I prefer it if you just give me the final decision, and then I'll edit it as you want it. It's hard on me to keep changing things whenever someone brings it up." Aira said into the phone as she poured herself another cup of coffee motioning for Vincent who was sitting on the counter if he wanted some.Nodding he handed her his empty mug and she turned around to refill it still listening to Sia."I'm sorry, Aira. I know that we're kind of unorganized. But I need you to make these edits for the marketing director to approve, He hands been making things harder on us these days and we're already running late on the project. I'm sure Vincent told you," Sia answered,"Alright then, I will see what I can do," Aira answered"Thank you very much, "Sia said, "I will send you an email," "I have a deadline, Sia. I can only start on it when I finish my current work," Aira finished

Meaningless Touch
Aira remained silent for a few moments. If that uncle of his was going to be in the same party as his, then it must mean that it's a set up.By now, everyone knew about the fact that Warren and Vincent didn't get along, and would never invite the two of them to the same event to avoid any scuffles. "Who's hosting?" Aira asked,"Our marketing director," He answered"Your uncle's minion?" She asked"Yeah, the bastard who had been giving us a heard time with the project. I can't stand the man's face as it is and now I have to see him and my uncle at the same place. I'm starting to have a headache already," He said."Didn't you have a restraining order against your uncle?" He asked, "I mean, that has got to have some effect,""The restraining order was a precausion for the wedding. It's not valable anymore," Vincent said with a sigh, "I was contacted by the judge who happened to be an old friend of my father's. He asked me to reconsider and promised that my uncle wouldn't interfere with t

The Canvas
Aira stood by the window and looked at the covered canvas by the side of her studio. It was a slightly bigger canvas that she had gotten used to having there when working. After all, it had been there for five long years.Whenever Aira felt too tired or confused about her work as an illustrator, she would look at the covered piece to regain her will to continue. Although it helped her reach what she reached now, she would never call it her motivation. The canvas wasn't her motivation nor was it her incentive to do better...She always thought of her relationship with that canvas as twisted, she loved it, but she could never uncover it to look inside. Still, she used it to push herself further and work harder. after a few years, she could barely remember what was inside it in the first place. The lines were blurry in her mind and she couldn't discern the shapes and colors clearly anymore.Strangely, since she heard that her grandmother was retiring. She started thinking about that canv

Silver Dress
Aira was standing there watching as everything unfolded before her. One moment Vincent was standing by her side chatting with his cousin, and the next he was throwing a punch at his cousin’s face while he pushed him onto the table.Vincent stood there while his cousin cowered on the floor and she had a feeling of déjà vue remembering their wedding day a month ago. It was almost the same scene with a different setting. And Vincent’s back looked exactly like back them rippled and huge heaving like a barely restrained beast that was fighting against its anger not to hurt another person.As if snapping back to reality, Aira rushed back to his side putting her hand on his back. He flinched for a moment then looked at her with wide darkened eyes and she wondered if he was glimpsing her or just seeing red by then.“Vince,” She called out touching his chest and he took her hand in his clenching it tightly to the point of pain,If only they didn’t come to this stupid party, if only they spent
