They had been there for a while, simply enjoying their presence and silence, until Magnus decided to break it off. "How is he?" he had asked Valentine, who quickly picked on, then sighing.
"Not that good, honestly," Valentine replied Magnus. "Even though he keeps on saying he's fine, whenever I ask him, he still acts like he isn't. He doesn't go out anymore, won't pick his calls or reply to any messages. He looks like a person who isn't taken care of, in any way." He sighed. "He also won't talk about what happened."
Magnus felt his heart sunk, while Valentine felt extremely down. They both wanted to help Chris, but they both didn't know how to. "She's so scary, I can't even walk up to her and talk to her," Magnus said with a sigh, snuggling Magnus the more
Magnus chuckled, adjusting himself to a comfortable state in Va

She had told herself that she was fine and didn't need a man to be happy, but whenever she stayed at home, her mind alway managed to linger to him whenever she saw any spot he had stood or stayed before in her house. It made it almost impossible for her to sleep in her room, so she often slept in her guest room instead. Magnus had also been giving her space, also focusing on the project. He had been showing up at her office, just to say hi and check up on her, but he didn't bring Chris up at all and didn't talk about Valentine. They were doing fine like that.For some reasons, she was yet to agree to, Starr found herself at Chris's launching party. It was a small gathering, but people had actually turned up for it.

He had tried to reach his doctor, but his line wasn't reachable. He tried to reach Magnus, but Magnus wasn't picking. He instantly presumed that if Magnus wasn't picking, Valentine wasn't going to also. So he was stranded, with nothing but fear. He sat with his legs up, his chin on his kneel as he watched her.

“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?”

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?"

“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

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 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

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

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.
