"There can be no progress without head on confrontation."

Someone needed to set things straight. Adonis decided it was time someone told Greta she could not just play with her own descendant’s life just for the sake of protecting her own life. The old woman had always been the kind of person who only cared about herself. Never paid any attention to other people’s happiness. For her, the family’s image was more important than how they members were feeling, she put no second thought before putting Vian’s life in danger just like that.
He knew he would probably stir up some fire within the woman and he knew he was supposed to help Vian gain her favor but at this state he saw nothing good coming out from merely trying to impress her. It was like trying to move walls. You can’t do it, the only thing he could do was to express how awful it was for Vian to went through what she di
"Danger doesn't lurk at every corner. It's just hanging out, waiting for fear and horror to show up."-Unknown-***“Have a good day at work, my love. I will pick you up this evening after work and we could have dinner together.” He kissed Vian’s lips right before she left the car. Vian smiled back at him and walked into the building. Once she was out of sight, Adonis turned the engine on and drove away to his own office.However, in the middle of the road he suddenly noticed a black car behind him which always seemed to be there and it was almost as if the car was following him. He realized it had been there since he left his house complex which initially he paid no attention to because they were on the public road already and not quite in the private area of the house, but the more he noticed it, especially after he dropped Vian off, the more he realized he was being followed.Filippe had told him that
"Make measurable progress in reasonable time."-Jim Rohn-***Vian attended another fashion event however this time, it was not a fashion show like before. This time she had been invited as a guest on a photoshoot session for a fashion magazine where she would write an article for them and had a bit of an interview with the founder. It was a great opportunity for her to increase her career ladder because if the article she wrote was a success she would have earned enough to become one of the youngest senior editor and that would mean a lot for her. It would also become her stepping stone in the fashion industry where she could finally use her name to influence the industry and perhaps even started her own business in fashion which was something she had always dreamt off.For her, funding was not an issue, the problem was her credibility and she had to make sure before she started anything for herself she would have enough credibi
"Those who cannot bravely face danger are the slaves of their attackers."-Aristotle-***Greta was relaxing in the swimming pool near the house that morning, it was weekend and everyone had their own plans, she decided to stay at home and just enjoy the fresh air because he body was not feeling that well. As of lately, her health had worsened and she was starting to fear her own death. She took different medications in order to keep her body sharp and healthy, however no amount of supplements and medications could help with the mortality clock when the time was near.However, for someone like her, to accept death was not something she was willing to do. She had too many assets on earth she was not willing to leave like that. So she had been spending lots of time lately shopping just to ease herself and make her feel much younger. She even stocked up on skincare and anti-aging creams, clothes which made her feel a bit younger. St
"Losing an illusion makes you wiser than finding the truth."-Ludwig Borne-***Adonis walked into his office and as expected, his private investigator had been waiting outside with a bag containing all the necessary information to solve the case. He invited him in and offered him a cup of coffee before they started their conversation. The man settled with black with no added sugar, because it helped him think more clearly. After taking a sip, he placed his bag on the table and pulled out a few files from the inside, placing them on the table in order.He started from the right file and opened it up. It contained data and evidence from the hotel. After all there had been another murder attempt toward Greta before and since the beginning, Adonis had suspected the culprit was the exact same person, but he dared not to jump into conclusion straight away and rather waited for the explanation.Besides the paper there was also a
"Very often, all the activity of the human mind is directed not in revealing the truth, but in hiding the truth."-Leo Tolstoy-***In between her busy schedule and dealing with her family drama with her grandmother still unconscious at the hospital, somehow she could still find time and squeezed her schedule to meet up with the woman who claimed herself to be her fan. She was not sure what she was thinking but her gut instinct was telling her to meet the woman and had a chat with her. She barely even knew the person and truthfully there was no advantage in meeting her because it was not as if she was a client of her company or an important figure, but she had made a promise and she would be a terrible person to break it.Yes, it should be the least of her priority, considering all the madness and chaos in her life, but her gut instinct led her to do it and there had to be a reason why. She thought she would not lose anything by
"Sensual is being in tune with your sensual self."-Aaliyah-***The sound of flowing water was heard from the bathroom. It was gentle yet managed to still woke Vian up from her slumber. She felt exceptionally tired that morning. Throughout the week she had worked so hard she barely had time for any rest. It was Sunday and all she wanted to do was to rest at home and perhaps call a massage service to massage her aching muscle. As soon as she sat down on the bed, the bathroom door was opened and Adonis came out from the room with nothing but a piece of towel wrapped around his hips.“Good morning my love, I’ll be making breakfast for us soon, what would you like to eat today?” He asked in a calm, relaxed tone which was always preferred by her. Vian thought about it for a second before replying.“I want something light and fresh today so maybe you can make me fruit bowl, please?” Her voice was s
"The guilty dog barks the loudest."-Unknown-***When hearing the news about Greta’s wake, everyone in the house went insane about it. The quickly dropped or cleaned up what they were doing and raced toward the hospital to visit her. Adonis and Vian was no different. However, they were not exactly rushing it because they knew no matter what they would be beaten by those who were already on the road. Vian took another very quick shower just to get rid of the oil left around her skin and changed into an appropriate casual outfit. Adonis did the same and before long they were already heading there.Initially the hospital was a bit concerned seeing so many people gathered in front of her room because all the family members were there to make sure that they were first to get in to see her and truthfully it was purely and act to gain her favor. These family members wanted to be seen as caring and respectful in hope to become the
"In nature there are neither rewards nor punishments, there are consequences."-Robert Green Ingersoll-***Tamara walked out from the doctor’s room at the hospital with a defeated expression, she had no idea what she was supposed to do with herself. The truth she just heard was unbelievable and a part of her did not want to accept it as her reality but it was happening and she could almost feel her world crumble in front of her.“What am I supposed to do?” She walked alongside the corridor and found herself sobbing as she covered her face with her hands. People who saw her might have their own thoughts upon looking at her reaction but she could not be bothered by other people’s perspective of her because she was still shaken by what happened.How can I be pregnant? She questioned herself.She did not understand how it was even possible, she had taken every precaution measure necessa
