Amber"Wow, these taste delicious," Daphnie said as she chewed on an albondiga."Right?""Did you make this?""I wish," I pouted."Where did you get these then?""Well," I awkwardly said.I hadn't told Daphnie about Lorenzo. I felt bad for keeping our relationship a secret for so long, but I had no idea what to say to her when she was going through a difficult time.I guess it's time to come clean."Well?""My boyfriend made them.""Boyfriend?" Daphnie looked surprised."Yeah.""How long have you had a boyfriend?""A few weeks now. I'd say one month, to be exact.""Why didn't you tell me?" Daphnie looked a little hurt."Well, I wanted to.""But?""You were grieving. I didn't think you would want to know about something good in my life when something so devastating had happened in yours.""Well, It would've been nice to hear some good news.""I'm sorry.""Anywho, I'm happy for you.""Really?""Yes, so who is this guy? What's he like?""Well, he's Spaniard. And he adores me. Not to ment

Adam"Staff Sergeant Adam Carter took command when his squad leader, Captain Pablo Herrera, was wounded and unable to lead during an attack on the US embassy in Syria. Carter heroically began to battle the attackers, allowing his squad to escape. Unfortunately, Carter was captured and held prisoner for several months. While a POW, Carter was brutally beaten and stabbed repeatedly. After several months of searching, a rescue unit of Navy SEALs located Carter at a hidden base in southern Syria. Carter had multiple stab wounds, burns, and other unspeakable injuries. The doctors' main concern was Carter's leg, nearly shattered after suffering twenty-five bullet wounds. Carter had MRSA and gangrene all over his body.Carter's surgeons claim that had the rescue team taken longer to find him; they would have found Carter dead due to the infections that invaded his bloodstream. After several hours of su-"I slammed my laptop closed, not wanting to read more of Iogair's research. After assigni

DaphnieI had returned from the gym, exhausted from my intense workout; I had spent most of every day working out. Adam and I had our own personal section of the gym in each hotel. We also had our own trainers; I met with mine thrice weekly.Feeling too weak to do anything, I fell on the couch. Right as I was going to turn on the tv, my phone started ringing; it was playing Adam's ringtone.I missed talking to Adam. Before I could talk myself out of it, I grabbed my phone and answered."Hello?""You answered!" Adam said excitedly."Yeah. What's up?""How have you been?""I've been better. How about you?""Well," Adam sounded so shy. "I was hoping you would go on a date with me tonight.""Adam, I don't think that's a good idea," I said. I had no idea why I was protesting when I was dying to be in Adam's arms."Daphnie, please. I want to have a nice evening with you. Besides, I have some good news to share."I let out a sigh. Adam and I couldn't go on like this."Okay.""Great! I'll pic

LorenzoI sat back in my chair, drinking a glass of cheap whiskey. I was fed up with how my life turned out; Adam humiliated me by destroying my company, and Amber was a clingy pain in my ass. I had no idea that woman would be so annoying. During our time together, she constantly talked about how mad she was at Daphnie for not apologizing. Just to shut her up, I would give her my credit card, so she could have a "relaxing" shopping spree to get over it.I finally had some alone time in my office: I had sent Amber on a spa getaway and paid off the people in charge to confiscate her phone. Their excuse was that it was to "eliminate outside distractions and focus on embracing the opportunity to relax and connect with one's inner self."There was a knock on my door. Slightly annoyed, I called out, "come in."When the door opened, I was surprised to see a Greek man step in. He was taller than me, I'd say six foot one. He was dressed neatly in a black business suit and black tie. He was wel

Lorenzo"I'm gonna kick Daphnie's ass the next time I see her," Amber said as she applied ice to my face. Daphnie managed to sprain my jaw; I had no idea she could throw such a hard punch. It also didn't help that she was wearing a ring.I lay on my side, trying to ignore the pain from the pressure Amber was applying as she held the bag of ice to my cheek."I can't believe her. She just attacked you for no reason! I tried kicking her and Adam out, but they refused to leave. I should've called security to escort them out; I wanted to tell the paparazzi what happened, but I couldn't find them."Will you just shut up?If allowed to, Amber could ramble on for hours. I let out a groan, hoping to shut her up."Oh, you're still in pain?" She asked in a loving tone. "I'll get you some Ibuprofen."Amber carefully lifted my head from her lap and stood up to get Ibuprofen. I savored the few seconds of silence that I had. After giving me the Ibuprofen, Amber rested my head on her lap again, putti
