"From small beginnings come great things."-Proverb-***20 Years AgoIt was raining heavily that day in London. Wilfred was on his way home when he stumbled across a small orphanage on the street side.Usually, he would just ignore it but that day, something was a little different.As a man who always trusted his intuition, he told his driver to stop the car. The driver seemed quite confused by his decision but he followed it anyway.Wilfred walked into the orphanage and decided to take a look around. He was immediately welcomed by one of the nun who cultivated it.“Good evening, sir, are you looking to adopt a child or are you here to visit?” The nun asked politely. Wilfred smiled back at her in his normal, friendly manner and replied,“Oh, I’m just here to take a look around and make a little donation at the end. If you don’t mind, that is.” He explained.

"I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music."-Albert Einstein-***“Ah, look at you. My beautiful business partner. I am so glad you agreed to our date today. What would you like? I will get them for you.” He told her as soon as she stepped into the restaurant. Victoria couldn’t believe she was doing it.She had zero intention of going on dates with anybody after Wilfred and truthfully, she did not even think about finding a new love at all.Yet there she was. Dressed in a violet dress, looking like an absolute beauty.Anyone who saw them together would assume they were dating. It was the part that scared Victoria the most.“We can skip all the formality and just get this date done and over with, shall we?” She took a look at the menu and told him what she wanted.Then he called the waiter and made the order. While they were waiting, Ian started questioning her in a laid back manner.“Since we are on a date right now, I think it’s fair for u

"Women are like roads, the more curves, the more dangerous they are."-Mae West-***“Vodka on the rocks, please.” Ian ordered as he entered sat in front of the bar. Once he got his drink, he brought it to a table where a red haired woman was seated. She was looking down on her drink and lifted her face up as soon as he was seated. Her icy blue eyes met his.“What are you doing here? How do you know where I am?” She asked with a slight Russian accent that she developed from her mother.“It has been a while, Catherine.” Ian spoke as he took a shot of his drink. She was about to stand up and leave when he grabbed her hand and held it so firmly it was impossible for her to leave. She turned her head around with a displeased expression.“What do you want?” She asked as she tried to release her hand.“Sit down, there is something I need to talk about with you.&

"Conceit is incompatible with understanding."-Leo Tolstoy-***“Who exactly are we waiting for?” Andreas asked Victoria as soon as they met up. She had contacted him in advance to tell him that there would be an additional party but she didn’t mention who it was because she didn’t want her brother to google this man in advance.Andreas was an easygoing man but he was also somewhat skeptical of the people around her, some called it brotherly protection but for Victoria, it was just him having some cautious side. It was only when Andreas was present did she tell him about Ian.“His name is Octavian Carlson. He’s a business associate of mine. I have this personal deal to meet him once a week on the weekend but you called and I was about to cancel on him when he made a suggestion that the three of us are going together. So here we are.” She explained.Andreas had never met this man before but for some reason he had a bad feeling about it. A few minutes later, the door was opened and Ian

"Life isn't just about darkness or light, rather it's about finding light within the darkness."-Landon Parham-***“Get him to the emergency room.” Lucas barged into the hospital with Ian and quickly asked for the staff to help him.Before he was brought inside the room, on the brink of his consciousness, he held Lucas’ hand and asked for a favor.“Victoria, you have to call her. I want her to be by my side when I am awake. Do you understand?” He asked.Lucas didn’t know why he would ask for Victoria but he nodded anyway and then Ian was brought out of sight.Lucas didn’t know what he was supposed to do in that situation so he only did as Ian requested.He picked up Ian’s phone that was left in his hand and searched his contact until he found Victoria’s name in there.He dialed her number and not long after, she picked up the phone.
