"It's crazy what a heart blinded by love can lead you to believe."-Jourdane Erasquin-***Christian was back in the house after getting a locksmith for Layla’s car only to find out later on that the key was dumped in the bin.Fortunately, the trash had not been picked up yet otherwise the key would be lost forever.The car ended up having two keys, one was the original and the other one was the one Christian made that day.He thought having these two keys would make it far easier for him to avoid the same kind of trouble in the future.“I’m home.” He walked inside and saw Layla sitting on the sofa, watching a movie. It was a bit unusual since she was usually not a movie person.Christian slowly walked toward her and hugged her from behind.“Baby, I found your car key and made a spare key in case something like this happens again. Your car is back and it’s per

Chapter 22: Reminiscing The Past
"First love is only once in a lifetime and it remains only in memory."-Jessica Simpson-***When Sofia was younger, like most girls her age, she was somewhat a hopeless romantic and the subject of her child-like love was none other than a man called Jacques Alarie.He was tall, with dirty blonde hair, blue eyes and round glasses which made him appear as smart as he actually was.He was in the same class as her for three years in a row during high school. The man was polite, well mannered and an overall pleasant person to be around with.One thing about Sofia, she had never been attracted to bad boys since she was young so she always preferred the calm, slightly nerdy guys.He used to be more nerdy than sporty so he would spend his time at the library, either studying or working on some side research he was doing.Naturally, Sofia was drawn to him and since they were in the same class almost all the ti

Chapter 23: You're Back
"The pain of parting is nothing to the joy of meeting again."-Charles Dickens-***“I’m sorry, but I have a husband and I don’t think he will be happy with me exchanging number with a stranger I’ve just met.” She reasoned.Jacques was not expecting that sort of rejection form a woman who looked like a splitting image of his first love. At the same he realized he might be asking for too much and quickly apologized.“I’m sorry, I had no idea you are married already. I understand. But I will give you my number anyway. If you ever need any help with anything. I’m willing to do it for you.”He wrote down his number on a piece of paper and slip it in her bag.“I wish you a pleasant evening, mademoiselle.” With that, he left. Sofia stood there on her own, watching him walk away from her for the second time.There was a little bit of pain in he

Chapter 24: Another Revenge Move
"A man who contemplates revenge keeps his wound green."-Francis Bacon-***Christian went to work that morning feeling tired. He didn’t know why but recently he had been feeling a lot of fatigue, not quite sure what caused it.Perhaps he still wasn’t used to the way of life in Paris. It was certainly more sunny and bright than London, but he always felt a bit off in there.He headed to his desk and turned on his computer, thinking to continue working on a program he did when he quickly realized something was off with his computer.All the data related to the program he was working on was deleted. It was as if someone had hacked his computer and purposely deleted his data.“No way, this can’t be happening.” He tried to do a few things with his computer, trying to find anything, a backup, anything but everything has been deleted.“Someone is clearly toying with me. Ho

"If you want to gather honey, don't kick over the beehive."-Dale Carneige-***Sofia walked out from her office room after she created a design for the silk scarf. She was thinking of getting herself some dessert when Dion called her.“Are you free tonight?” He asked as he held her hand and guided her to take a seat beside him. Once Sofia was seated, she answered.“Well yes, I don’t have anything planned at the moment. Why?”“I’m going to have dinner with my friends tonight and I am thinking of taking you with me.” Sofia was a little confused because they were in Paris.If anything, it should be her introducing him to her friends. She didn’t think Dion would be having any friends who’s not business related to him in Paris.“Okay, let’s go.” She rose from her seat to grab her dessert and then started getting ready for the din

"A gentleman is someone who does not what he wants to do, but what he should do."-Haruki Murakami-***Sofia had been giving Dion the silent treatment for the whole night.Whenever he asked her something, she would reply shortly, showing her disinterest and clearly showing that she was still upset for what happened.Dion never dealt with a woman’s anger before. He was not quite sure what to do.In the past, they would always try to be on their best behavior to capture his attention and gained his affection. He never had to deal with something like this before.“What is it that you want from me?” He tried asking her right before bed, but she was not answering. Instead, she pulled the blanket and covered her entire face and body with it.For some reason, Dion felt like he had messed up. Even though he had a good intention to protect her. He felt like his action had created some kind of

Chapter 27: A Little Threat
"When you are a threat you will always be the target."-Unknown-***Christian went back to the house with a defeated expression. Layla who saw him looking like he had lost a fight approached him.“What’s wrong?” She asked. Christian wondered if he should tell her about what happened.Though he believed Layla loved him, he was not sure she was going to take the news well considering what happened between the two of them last time.“Christian, you already know I hate liars. Just tell me the truth, what’s wrong?” She repeated the question. Christian found it difficult to lie to the woman he loved. In the end, he admitted the truth.“I almost got fired today. There was this project I have been working on for almost a month but somehow, the file disappeared today. I tried everything I could to retrieve it back, but I couldn’t.”Layla removed her hand fr

"Being shameless is not an issue until and unless you are honest with yourself."-Pratik Kodmalwar-***Sofia was watching everything from the screen and a huge smile appeared on her face.“I never thought seeing someone suffer can be this satisfying.” She said as she took a sip of her morning coffee. Dion who was seated in the sofa behind her smiled as well.“Are you happy now, my love?” He asked. Sofia turned to see Dion and nodded.“For the time being, yes, but you already know this is not enough. I am planning to keep closer eyes on these two for the next week or so, see if there is anything else I can do to destroy them.” She replied.Dion rose from his seat and approached her. He looked at her with a certain meaningful gaze and then gently placed his hand on her cheek.“Don’t be too worked up, my love. We can handle this one step at a time.” H

"A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger."-Solomon-***“Are you going to head back now?” Remy asked as Layla put on her bra back and picked up her clothes from the ground.“Yes, I have to go elsewhere tonight.” She replied back before she turned around and kissed the blonde man once again.“When can I see you again?” He asked. Layla thought she was definitely making this man attached to her and smirked victoriously.“Sometime soon, I will let you know when I’m available, in the meantime, think of me when you go to bed at night.” She grabbed her bag and headed outside, leaving him on his own.She headed back home and the moment she arrived, she could see some of their belongings being put in boxes by Christian. Naturally, this confused her.“Christian, what’s going on?” She asked while approaching him, se

"Sex is a part of nature, I go along with nature."-Marilyn Monroe-***“So, this is your idea of a special date?” Sofia couldn’t contain her teasing smile when he brought her to a rooftop of one of her favorite restaurant.She found it amusing because to be fair, she didn’t think there was anything special about the place. She thought he would bring her somewhere new and exciting, turned out it was just there.Though there were some differences, of course.They had been there once before, but it was during the day.This time, he brought her out in the evening when the sky had turned dark and from where they were seated, they could see the view of the Eiffel tower lighting up at night.“You have been a little too stressed out lately, I thought I should bring you to your favorite place.” He pulled the chair for her and she sat down.“Would you go for the
