***
It was a bright Sunday morning and Adonis was getting ready to go out on his own because Vian had a plan with Irina which made him a bit jealous because he wished he would be the one spending time with her but he could not do much. He saw Vian getting ready from the corner of his eyes. She was standing in front of the mirror going back and forth between two dresses she was holding in her hand. One was a pleated skirt red dress while the other was a soft pink sleeveless A-line dress. Both looked stunning on her but she was being indecisive.
“Adonis, which one do you think suits me well?” She eventually turned to Adonis to ask for his opinion. He was silent for a bit and eventually pointed at the pink dress.
“This one suits you better since you are going out during daytime, I find the red one to be too strong, it’s more suitable

"A simple I love you means more than money."-Frank Sinatra-***Irina was smart enough to read Vian’s expression the moment she spotted Carson and knowing their history together, Irina knew right away if the two of them met there would be another set of disaster and drama. So before he could even reach them, Irina grabbed Vian’s hand and the two of them went back inside. She brought her to the ladies’ bathroom where they would hide for a bit as they waited for him to disappear. It did not take long, only lasted the two of them around ten minutes before they walked out from the bathroom and as expected they had lost him.“That was really close.” Vian breathed in relief. Her face nearly paled. She really wished to have absolutely nothing to do with him. Whenever that man was around, terrible things would happen and she was not going to let him ruin her mood.“Thank you for dragging me out

Gill-***It was the beginning of fall and the weather had gotten a little bit colder. The streets were turning golden reddish hues and since their house was close to the park, they could see the beauty of fall at its finest each time they went to work and back. Things had been strangely serene, there were not much conflict going on. It had been a rather peaceful time for the family.Irina had not done anything unusual, Carson also mysteriously gone from Vian’s life which she really did not expect at all considering his personality, but she did not wish to overthink it and took it as a good sign. Though Adonis had been increasing his guard on her lately in fear of something bad happening, but Vian had been safe and it was all that mattered at the moment.Their grandmother had als

"Accept the terrible responsibility of life with eyes wide open."-Jordan Peterson-***The hustling and bustling in the building was more intense than usual that day. All the staffs made sure the large meeting hall was prepared for all the guests who would arrived. These people were of importance, many major investors and stakeholders would come to join the meeting. They put out a bit of time out of their busy schedule just to be there and their time was expensive so everyone had to make sure everything was perfect.Adonis arrived a bit earlier since the traffic was not so bad that day. He walked in and was greeted by the receptionist. He asked who has come and the receptionist gave a full list of all the meeting guests who had arrived in there. He went through it and thought the majority had arrived, the meeting time was scheduled for another hour so he thought he would meet up with Filippe and earned some advices from him as w

"Nobody can be as agreeable as an uninvited guest."-Kin Hubbard-***Vian was sitting in her office enjoying her work as she took her fashion brand development progress in between writing a few articles and testing different products from the companies she would review. Her mood was rather bright that day, she had finished a bunch of tasks and felt super productive. The only thing left was to check up on another grand family event. It might seem strange for ordinary people to see her family attending so many major family events but the circle she was in, such events were entirely normal and the next one she was quite excited for because the extended family members from Europe and all over the world would come to celebrate as well.Although some of them she was not exactly entirely familiar with, she always enjoyed the festivity and this time she felt even better because no one could mock Adonis for being unemployed and shamed he

"We've all got the blood in our hands. We only receive what we demand."-Jack Johnson-***Irina had just gotten back from home and she was surprised when she saw Adonis sitting in the living room. His facial expression was a bit dark, but it was not the kind derived from sorrow or anger. She took a step back when her eyes met Adonis. She was not sure why the man looked so serious but she had a bad feeling about it. She was making an attempt to walk away but before she could do so, Adonis stopped her with his words.“Stay where you are.” His voice was husky and cold. She had never heard the tone coming out from him when Vian was around but he was familiar with such tones from other men, for she had heard it before several times. She stopped in her track and turned to look at him.“What do you want? Aren’t you just waiting for Vian? I am not Vian so I wish to go back to my room right now.” She

"I wish I could give you everything you wanted. But even a good gift is a bad gift if given at the wrong time."-Tiffany Reisz-***The situation at the St Regis Houston was rather festive that evening. The Sterling had chosen the place to be their gathering area since the manor was not large enough to hold the entire family member properly and some of them who came from abroad needed a place to reside and the hotel room would accommodate just perfectly.As the main members of the sterling family, both Irina and Vian had arrived earlier along with their parents and siblings. It was one of the few time Vian could meet her other cousins, Irina’s younger twin brothers. The two early teen boys with completely distinct personalities arrived wearing matching pair of tuxedo, one wore white and the other wore black. They looked like the younger, male version of Irina however their eyes were different shades of blue, approached them

"The secret of life is knowing what you want and asking for it."-Lailah Gifty Akita-***After the party, their grandmother had to return to the hospital once more because her health had started to become unstable again. Vian thought she should go and visit her at the hospital just to pay attention. That morning she took a day off from work just to go and visit Greta and much to her surprise, Adonis stated he would also come with her to the hospital.“Are you sure you want to do this?” Vian questioned because she felt a bit uneasy letting Adonis accompany her when he had works to do, but the man gently assured her that it was fine and he would not have too much things to catch up to even if he was to go with her.“I don’t want to leave you alone too much especially during these times, Vian. As your husband I am responsible for your security and I think lately things have been a bit fragile in the f

It was supposed to be Greta’s last day at the hospital because the doctor told everyone her health was becoming better and she could go home.Life in hospital was incredibly boring because all a patient could do was to lie down on the bed and did absolutely nothing. Even with company around it could still end up being incredibly boring and the old woman felt the same way even though her first son and daughter in law, better known as Cynthia’s parents were accompanying her simply because they wanted to gain back her favor after their daughter did the unforgivable.Since Greta had disowned Cynthia, she also had somew

"A vacation is having nothing to do and all day to do it in."-Robert Orben-***It was the end of November and the weather was getting colder in the States as winter arrived. It was almost Christmas time and everyone was excited to enjoy the snow and the cold weather, but not with Adonis and Vian. Instead of allowing themselves to adjust to the cold weather, they decided to head over to the other side of the world where summer never ended. After picking through a few tourist destinations they decided to settle for St. Barts in the Caribbean. Instead of covering themselves in thick winter coats, they were dressed in light, flowy summer clothing.As he had promised before, Adonis took the time off he had throughout December to bring Vian there as a way to compensate for their past honeymoon. They had never experienced an exclusive honeymoon before so he would ensure to give her the best experience throughout the one week they plan

"Home is where love resides, memories are created, friends and family belong and laughter never ends."-Unknown-***He led her to the garden on the back of the house. From the front one could not see the garden since it was so closed off so it could only be accessed from within the house, but the garden was so large and despite its enormous size, everything was well-arranged even after the late Eduardus Earlington’s death which spoke a lot about the maintenance practices of the house. Vian gasped as she entered it for the first time.It was clear the garden was inspired by European style gardens inside the castles. There were varieties of flowers planted on almost every corner which meant the previous owner was a huge fan of flowers. Most of them were white florals but there were a few varieties of roses as well. On each sides were lines of different fruit trees. There was some lemons and oranges, figs, peaches, apples and

"And suddenly you just know, it's time to start something new and trust the magic of beginnings."-Meister Eckhart-***It had been a little over a week since the announcement and Vian was preparing herself to move to the Earlington estate. She had never visited the place before and to think she would reside there from then on was simply beyond her. She had grown up in luxury so she was sure she would not be too surprised by any luxury the place had to offer, but she simply wondered how would it differ from her home.In most countries, when married it is the norm for wife to follow the husband but since she lived in the western society, things had been a bit different, perhaps for the worse because all the casual aspects in relationships were glorified. Plenty had lost respect for marriage which was truly a shame, but she was happy she was married to someone like Adonis, even though she had not found out his real identity until l

"Nobody deserves misery, but sometimes it's just your turn."-Unknown-***“Allow me to introduce myself properly, my name is Adonis Ravenwood Earlington, the son of Eduardus Richard Earlington.” He started. His air was slightly different from the usual Adonis, as if he had just transformed or leveled up in a game. He became a lot more charismatic.Upon the mention of the Earlington, suddenly the other members of the family gasped in shock except for Vian who did not really know who the man was, as she was never properly socialized with too much with their business networks. Yes, since she was young she was often excluded from the networking part of the family as they felt humiliated if the child was to make acquaintance with the elites.She remained silent as she did not wish to embarrass herself by lacking the knowledge to figure out who the man was but judging from the reaction of the other family members, h

"Above all else, the devil cannot stand to be mocked."-C.S Lewis-***The shot sound was muffled but it was loud enough for the security to notice, besides the room had a CCTV so the hotel staff could see what was going on and they immediately called the police to come, but soon they would realize a police would not be needed as the door slammed open and two men in black swiftly hit Carson and took the gun away from him, a third man entered the room and handcuffed his hand as the other two men held it back and Carson was surprised because he was not expecting any of these.Meanwhile the family members in the room were too shocked to do anything. They sat frozen in their seat as they had just witnessed two shocking things happening within the room, but little did they know it was not everything.Vian was still by Adonis side after he was shot. Warm tears started pouring from her pretty eyes as she saw him laid there uncons

"I think a hero is any person really intent on making this a better place for all people."-Maya Angelou-***Everyone was still trying to cope with the shock of what had just happened. They still refused to believe that Vian had become the leader of the household, considering her young age and ordinary family background, it was unlikely that she was the one chosen. The probability was so low that not even her parents were present."Once again, it is the decision of the late Madame Sterling. There is nothing I can do about it." The lawyer calmly said hoping he could just get out of there as soon as possible. The longer he stayed there the more chaos there would be.He faced Vian and handed her over a few documents she needed to sign as an official mark of her being the inheritor of the family fortune. Vian looked a bit hesitant at first since she herself still could not believe it but in the end, she grabbed a pen and sign

"Surprise is the greatest gift which life can grant us."-Boris Pasternak-***Everyone gathered around for Greta Sterling’s funeral. Of course, it was all mere formality and staged since no one actually cared for the old woman. It might not be shown straight to the face, but everyone secretly despised her. When she died, they all put fake facades, crying their fake tears and pretended to be good family members, but they were all just gazing each other as if they were staring at their enemies instead of family.The priest was speaking in the podium reading a few holy passages about how her soul would eventually be in heaven with the angels and all of her good deeds would be accepted by God and her legacy would forever be remembered by those around her when in reality everyone knew she was going to hell for all the pain she had inflicted upon others, not to mention all the underground dirty works she had invested in which de
