Chaos responded, “Our love is eternal.” Both Elliot and I spoke at the same time, “Noster amor aeternus est”

Juliet stretched to me a tiny bottle and I stared at the container wondering what it was. "Trina, this is an ointment. I purchased it at a cosmetic store. It will quickly expunge the spots on your face." My lips curved into a smile and I held the bottle, "oh thanks so much mum, I really needed it so I'll look like an angel tomorrow."

“Stop it! You’re so annoying! Stop teasing me!” But then Vincenzo’s face turned serious. He used his thumb to wipe the little tears that were still in her eyes. “Listen to me, Amore,” he said, his voice so deep. “There is no woman in this world who could ever replace you. There is no woman who could ever make me feel the way you make me feel. You are a ray of sunshine. You are the purest thing I have ever known. And I will never let you go. I am all yours. You are my wife, my queen, and the mother of my child. No one can ever take that away from you. So don’t ever feel insecure about yourself.”

As they lay together, exhausted but content, Jenifer felt a sense of peace wash over her. She knew that what they had done was not a betrayal of Victoria’s memory, but a celebration of life, a testament to the enduring power of love.

Weak. “Am I?” Loveth’s voice was silky smooth. “Maybe. Or maybe you’re just not as clever as you think you are. Maybe you thought you could sneak around, play with fire, and not get burned.” Her gaze hardened, the pretense of pleasantry vanishing. “Let me make something crystal clear, Novah. Ashton Vince is *mine*. He has always been mine. He will *always* be mine. Whatever pathetic little fantasy you’ve cooked up in that shallow little head of yours… forget it. It’s over.”

It was so quiet. She looked at the paintings on the wall. They were expensive. From the gold coatings to the shiny wood used to carve some. They were beautiful. One caught her eye.The one with a bleeding heart and a woman with a sword on a horse.The woman looked fierce. She was drawn to it. Moving closer she read the inscription. "Fortis amor" which means Strong love. She continued on her way when she heard the gentle opening of a lock. Turning in fear, she saw that it was the room which was never opened since she was born.
