Love and relationships combined are the most complicated. Because sometimes, a relationship can be destroyed by one, grandiose act or small, inconsequential acts that if being repeated can be very lethal to the love and trust founded beforehand. "The evidences that were all gathered against Mr. Chevalier was too great of a deal not to convict him as guilty to the murder. Then, this will probably be the first time you will lose a case to someone? Now, this is getting exciting."Sebastian's face turned deadly serious. Because what the prosecutor had just uttered somehow kind of managed to get on his nerves. Still, he tried to act cool and all professional. He also knew that several eyes were watching them from the two-way mirror. "Nah. I'm too arrogant to lose. So, just be ready, alright? Don't be a crybaby when I crush you on court." "Crush me on court? Are you joking? Because I don't think that will happen.""Are you two finished boasting now? I don't have all the time in the world
A woman can absolutely do anything for the man she loves. Because when she fell in love, she fell in love deeply, fiercely and irrevocably. Zoey thought that she had been dismissed because the automated voice was turned off and no one had opened the humongous gate for her. She waited for almost five minutes and was about to give up when suddenly, a housemaid opened the small gate beside her.Zoey thought she was going to be ushered inside but Dionysus' mother was already in front of her, eyebrows furrowing and arms being crossed on her chest. "So, you are the murderer's secretary? How dare you come here and talk about papa? Isn't it enough that your boss killed him in the most gruesome way!"Zoey was so taken aback. Now, she fully understood why the bloody hell Hermes Chevalier told her that Dionysus' parents never became a proper model for him and how his parents affected his way of thinking about the real concept of love. "Dionysus didn't kill Mr. Hermes, madame. He wouldn't do tha
Funny how others would say that 'hearts are really meant to be broken for it to be finally wise the next time around'. Even if that is true, nobody still doesn't deserve to get her heart shattered in the most painful way possible. "Zoey Veera Lavigne, you've been ignoring my calls and texts since yesterday. Do you honestly believe that I didn't watch the news involving your boss, Dionysus Chevalier?" Mrs. Zenaida Lavigne's voice was calm, but Zoey knew better. Her mother was obviously scolding Zoey from the other line because Mrs. Lavigne mentioned her whole name in a monotonic tone. Zoey massaged her temples because she doesn't need to be screamed at like that right now. It was the least she wanted and needed from her own mother. "Zoey! It's me! I know Dionysus wouldn't do that, right? I knew it. Please, tell me he didn't do it?" All of a sudden, it was Zamantha's voice turn to rattle the bloody hell out of Zoey's distressed mind. Zoey sighed as she inhaled a deep breath. The fres
A quote we should all know about is, 'the love of a family is life's greatest blessing'. A tear fell from Zoey's eyes. Dionysus' words were like a sharp knife cutting through her heart, again and again. Dionysus never even wavers to look directly at Zoey's eyes just to show her that he really meant every single word he had said and that he utterly wanted Zoey to digest it all at once and never forget all of it at all. Sebastian sighed because of the scene being played in front of him but he unequivocally knew that he doesn't have any right to intervene in that kind of situation. "So, that's it, then?" Zoey asked with so much disbelief and pain in her voice. "That's how you decide to fucking push me away? Why? Perhaps, you realize you suddenly don't want me anymore?" Zoey's almond eyes kept tearing up, but she promised to herself that that would be the last time she would do that for Dionysus. "Who said I want you anyways? I don't even like you in the first place." By then, lots o
A real love letter can come in many forms, as long as the message is delivered and as long as the recipient understands the utterly dazzling, passionate message behind."For the first time in history, I'm so disappointed in you, Dio. I'm really, really disappointed." Sebastian angrily vented out to Dionysus in a calm voice. He went back to the precinct again after Zoey left. He just had to or his mind would explode. "And, what happened to your face? The general director said you had initiated a fight right after me and Zoey left? A brawl, Dio. Isn't that right?" Dionysus sighed and felt the bruise on his left eye sting a little. "I just don't want her to be in danger as well, Seb. Grandpa's killer is still on the loose. Who knows he or she might kill Zoey as well. And, damn it. We are powerless against him or her because we still don't know who it was. So, to prevent that, I must push Zoey away no matter what. I'm doing this for her own sake. She's better off without me. And, about t
We know we really miss someone when we crave something so simple that even the sound of their voice and the way they laugh and smile and just merely thinking about them can make us feel things. "Detainee number two-five-four. Come out. It's lunch time already." The jail guard informed Dionysus after knocking and peeking at the small window of his prison cell's door. Dionysus sighed while looking at the reflection of himself in the mirror at the only sink inside his cell. He was sweating badly and heaving deep breaths. He just woke up from a dream, a very intense, erotic dream to be exact. He just had a dream about Zoey and it was all about the night they had slept together at the library before his grandfather was killed.In Dionysus' dream, he had kissed Zoey's lips with so much passion and longing. He didn't hesitate like what he actually did the night before. In Dionysus' dream, Zoey had kissed him back as well, with the same intensity. Then, Dionysus' hands felt like it had a li
If too much caring is called being jealous, then we should all be willingly happy to do so. Because with that reason alone, it will just clearly depict how much we love someone more than our own life. Zoey is so bored, absolutely bored. It has only been ten minutes since her little sister started questioning the poor inmate but all Zoey wanted to do was to get out of there. Breathing the same air when Dionysus was just a few feet away from her was kind of suffocating for her, a death-dealing kind of torture even.She was trying so hard not to tilt her head towards Dionysus' direction. For Zoey, it was the gravest sin she would ever commit if possible. She would literally detest herself for the rest of her life. But, who was she kidding? All of her body cells were screaming at her to snatch even a glimpse of her husband.To lay her eyes upon his handsomeness again that no one could entirely surpass, in her opinion. She wanted to look directly at Dionysus' ocean blue eyes and get drown
The saddest thing about betrayal was that it never really came from our enemies, rather from people whom we thought we could really trust the most. "I repeat. Did you do this to him, Mr. Chevalier?" Zoey asked once more and she even pulled the poor inmate beside her and Zamantha. That action alone triggered Dionysus' raging anger once more. He was currently squinting his eyes at the way Zoey's hands were holding the inmate's arm as if it was the most grievous sin for Zoey to ever commit. "Answer me, Dionysus Chevalier. Are you deaf? Or, your arrogance made you a mute as well?"Dionysus kept staring at Zoey for a good few seconds, hoping that she would take back all the things she had just said. But, Zoey stood her ground. And, that made Dionysus to chuckle once more. The kind of laughter everyone would notice immediately because it sounded so lifeless and insincere."This witch is being so funny, Sebastian. Did you just hear what she said?" Dionysus murmured and tried taking a step t
