“Good day Miss Hart,” Adam had respectably greeted Starr, causing her to drop her phone as she looked at him. “Better,” she had simply replied him, adjusting herself on the bed, so her back was resting well on the headboard. Adam nodded as he sat down, crossing his legs as he pulled out a pad and pen. “Since when did you start getting this morning vomits or nauseous feeling?”
DIAMOND HART TWENTY-SIX
“So, what is the issue?” Christopher had asked Adam the moment he stepped into his sitting room. Adam dropped his suitcase by a sofa as he sat and said, “Please do have your seat Mr. Chariton,” Adam had replied him, enjoy how his face became covered with worry. Adam would have loved to tease him a bit longer, but he had another appointment for the day and didn’t want to be late. Christopher Chariton mind had begun to run.

"I'm sorry for staining your cloth," Sorcha muttered after a while of her crying, sitting up and adjusting her dress.Starr sighed, trying to not let her emotions get the best of her at that point in time. Her crying or showing a bit of weakness, wasn't going to make the situation any better. "Go bath, you stink," she had muttered, hopefully trying to lighten the mood and get herself together, also trying to get Sorcha to actually go have her bath.Sorcha chuckled, getting up as she replied, "Be right back." With that, she left.Starr felt the air in the room loosen, causing calmness to spread round her. She sighed lowly as she sank into the chair, shutting her eyes."Are you okay?" Christopher's voice broke out, causing her to sigh again as she sank further. Instead of his sudden talking to have startled her, she felt calmness hearing it. A reminder that he was still there with her, calmed and made her happy.She nodded in

“He had better not,” Starr had said with a frown, lifting her legs up to put on the chair, getting a bit comfortable. Sorcha noticed how relaxed and comfortable she had gotten, and that made her feel lighter, like some burden had been taken off her. It was like a snippet of the old Starr, and that felt like a reminder that old Starr was still present and available. “Whenever I did come over to you place,” Sorcha had said, causing Starr to become conscious once more and tensing. “You weren’t exactly the nicest.” Starr felt a certain type of warmth rush round her body, as she was filled or wrapped with sadness. All the regret she had been trying to avoid, appeared right in her presence. She didn’t reply Sorcha, but instead looked away in hope that Sorcha was going to notice she didn’t want to talk about it and drop the topic. She wasn’t ready yet. And as she hoped, Sorcha didn’t press on, but rather continued her story. “I do have friends, but I’m not exactly c

Sorcha couldn’t help how her heart felt hurt all over again. It was like it had only been the day before that day it had happened. It felt so fresh, she couldn’t stop the tears that had begun to roll down her cheeks. She felt her kneels grow weak, causing her to quick grab unto her kitchen table for support. Lucas wasn’t her first heartbreak, but she had been way too invested in him, even if they hadn’t even been up to a year yet. It had only been months, and such a perfect relationship had brought her so much pain.“Do you know about this?” Starr had said all of a sudden, feeling her blood boil so much. She didn’t know that animals like that still roamed the world. She did, but she didn’t let herself believe.Christopher shook his head as he replied her, “I am not really a social media person, but maybe Valentine or Marcus. And besides, it is only the relationship people know about, not the rest.”&ldq

Sorcha and Starr were singing along to a nineties pop, while Sorcha drove them to a eatery of her choice. Starr had wanted her to be comfortable, so she had choose the eatery she wanted to go to and what she wanted to eat. Their voice had gone higher, and they both had a wide smile on. It was a song their dad had played a lot when they were younger. He played it on weekends, so they could all sing and dance to it. He would lift them from the ground, while they took turns on who he was going to throw and twirl, their laugher echoing around the house. That was happiness to Starr, till she grew and life changed. “I miss him,” Sorcha had suddenly said, causing the ambience of the vehicle to move from way up there, to down there.Starr went shut, making Sorcha think she had said something wrong. Her heart began to beat in reminder that, she could send Starr back into the cave she had been in. But then, Starr smiled as she replied, “Me too.”Sorcha fe

“Thank you so much,” Starr had said to Sorcha after their meal, appreciating her. Sorcha smiled warmly as she replied, “Believe me when I say it is an honor. I get the chance to eat and hang with you, that is an honor.” Sorcha was probably just talking, but it was deeper than that to Starr. Yes, she knew personal mental health was good and sensible. But, cutting off from everyone in her life didn’t seem like such a good idea anymore. But then, it was the therapy she needed. She shook her head a bit, to get over the thought. She still felt it was one of the best decisions she made. “I am your sister, it shouldn’t be an honor, but a normality,” Starr replied Sorcha with a smile as she lifted her hands, hoping to get the attention of the woman who had been attending to them. She arrived almost immediately. “What do you need dear?” “The bill please,” Starr had replied. The woman had nodded, before she picked their plates and left. Starr and Sorcha

It had been night before the girls left the park and set to their different location. Starr had asked to be taken to Christopher’s house, so she could get Magnus’ car and return to hers. She didn’t tell him when she got to him house, so he wouldn’t try to make her stay. Considering how she had forgotten a bit about dating, she wasn’t expecting Christopher to be bother at all and had begun to get settled in her home, when Christopher’s call came in. “Hey,” she had said, picking his call with a smile.“Where are you?” he had asked her, his voice filled with concern. “Still with your sister? Are you staying over at her place?”Starr felt her heart swell with warmth at his affection, heat rush from her neck to the rest of her face. She blushed, but kept her comport as she replied him, “No, I am at home. I arrived home not too long.”“What?” Christopher asked as he sat dow

It had been in the afternoon, before they were both set and ready to go get her car. They had spent the day either talking while cuddled up, or watching some show together – Christopher trying to introduce some shows to Starr, and her still not being fully interested, or them simply enjoying each others company in silence.“Are you set? Do you know what you want already?” Christopher asked Starr as they were both set to leave.Starr nodded without a reply as she opened the door for them both to walk out. Christopher nodded also as they walked out, and straight to where Christopher car was packed.The ride had started quite, until Corinne Bailey Ray’s ‘Like A Star’ began to play.

Christopher had been in the sitting room, watching a television show, when Starr had woken up early. He had been pushing the breakfast he had planned to make for her, to the time he thought she was going to have woken up. But, she had surprised them both and had woken up quite early, around six to seven in the morning. Christopher had been laughing to something a character had said in the show, when Starr walked in. She didn’t say a thing as she walked in, trying to see what he was watching and maybe get why he was laughing. With no intention to startle him, she sat down quietly on one of her chairs, staring at the television. Christopher nearly jumped out of his skin when he had first seen her. He wasn’t expecting her to be there at that point in time, so seeing her there made his not recognize her quickly and causing him to fear. “Geez, why didn’t you make any noise when you were coming or when you arrive?” he had asked her, staring at her.Sta

Starr had made up her mind that from what she had seen, she was soon about to start getting on interviews with Christopher. Maybe her presence there was going to get those women to stay off him. She didn’t like them interview, but maybe things were going to turn around. “Had a stressful day?” Starr had asked Christopher when he walked into her office.Christopher sighed, dropping on the chair opposite her, at the other end of her table. He didn’t reply as he sat slant, his eyes closed his head facing her celling. “Hectic,” he soon replied, keeping his eyes closed.Starr chuckled. “Sorry about that,” she replied, rounding off what she was doing. “What do you need right now? Sleep? Massage?”Christopher chuckled in reply, before saying, “Can you give the massage?”Starr chuckled, not looking at him as she replied, “Because I haven’t shown you my skills, which is why you mock

Magnus had pulled a chair to sit close to Starr, so he could also watch the interview with her. She had a slight frown on her face as she listened to the interviewer ask, “So, it is rumored that there is a spark between yourself and Miss Hart? Could that be through?” Starr trusted Christopher and knew that he wasn’t looking at the interviewer in anyway other than that of business, even if he had a wide smile on, the person she didn’t feel pleased by was the interviewer.Christopher nodded affirmatively, that reminded her of the question he had asked her that morning, causing her to realize the reason behind the question. She had never thought about that, or thought the question was for a reason, but she was glad he did ask before he went on any interview. He cleared his throat before he replied, “Well, yes those rumors can be considered true. Miss Hart and I are in a serious and official relationship.”The pale interviewer with long

Her heels echoing as she walked in to the office, Starr had no expression on her face as she walked. She noticed everything, while look straight ahead and not saying a single thing. Amber had welcomed her into her office, like she had been waiting for her arrival. “Good morning ma,” Amber had greeted her with a little bow as she walked in.Starr nodded in reply. “When Magnus arrive, tell him I said he should fire that security who smelt like smoke,” Starr had said as she walked, Amber following her closely.Amber smiled a bit, knowing that she loved how Starr had changed but still didn’t lose her disciple touch. It was like Starr 2.0. “Yes, I would pass that message to him ma.”Starr didn’t reply her as she kept walking.“Channel TN sent an e-mail ma, they wanted to know if they could have an interview with you ma,” Amber had said to Starr, not waiting for her to reply as she added, “Should

Almost everyone was knocked out by the next morning, while Starr was up and ready for work. She had been dressed in a black leather skirt, a sky blue chiffon shirt tucked into it. She had been down, trying to get a cup of coffee before she went to work. She had bumped into Valentine in her kitchen, he had been holding a mug of tea close to his lips. She had been doing fine ignoring him, but his presence and the deafening silence between them, made her break out. “Do I still scare you?” she had suddenly asked.Valentine was taking a sip from his tea, when her question had come through. He choked on his drink, as the drink came flying out in reply. He wasn’t expecting her to say a single word to him at all, so hearing her voice was really sudden to him. “Huh?” he had asked in reply.Starr turned from her coffee machine and stared at him a little clueless, keeping her face emotionless as she once again asked, “I said do I still scare yo
