I was sitting on the bed while Michaël was not there. Even less in the bedroom! I wonder what's been happening to him for the past few days. He's been avoiding me altogether. I can't understand what's going on in his head unless he tells me. At first, I thought it was always the lack of Mira telling me it would be fine soon but I was wrong. He has become more distant, colder with me and it hurts me. When I try to start a conversation with him, he looks away from me and stands up with drawn features. Is he really mad at me deep down? Is he holding me responsible for the deterioration of his relationship with his sister? What should I do? Would he be happier if I retired and he found his sister? I started biting my nails as I began to worry about losing Michaël forever. Will I be able to bear it? Am I good enough to set him free? Would I be a bad person if I demanded that after he had so intensely and desperately made me fall in love with him, he would stay by my side? Wh
When I saw my sister again after she disappeared, I noticed that her face, which had previously been sad and downcast, was now filled with determination and conviction. It was as if her earlier fear and angst had disappeared and she no longer cared about anything. My sister has always been so strong and even though the situation is worrying both for her and her husband, she does not give up and continues to have faith in a brighter future. I smiled. I too should not worry, I have to trust Fabian's will. He promised me, he will always take care of my sister and always ensure her well-being and happiness. So there's no need to torture my mind like this, I just have to have faith in a happy ending. I was sitting in the waiting room with Lenny when Michaël arrived with Carla, Johan, and Aden. The last three had been briefed by Michael and Aden had called Mr. Burns. They were all nice to me and almost three hours later we heard the cries of a newborn baby. My nephew had just been b
John Keller's affair had been made public with restraint so that John Keller's crimes did not tarnish the reputation of this group which had built its notoriety under the era of Richard Keller, Michaël's grandfather. Of course, the public had been made aware of some of his misdeeds including the death of Amanda, no matter their efforts some information had leaked but the Keller group was solid and the elders had used their weight and their influence to facilitate the work of Michael. He was only 16 years old but he found himself in a tumult of adults in an environment of merciless sharks. He needed to have strong nerves to deal with these changes in his life, their aggressiveness, and the pressure. During the years that followed his takeover as the head of the group, he had not skimped on his efforts not to let down the empire that his grandfather had so much trouble building. Even if he never knew him, he had to listen to the testimonies of his friends and he knew what his rol
The months following Michaël's departure were a real hell for me. I no longer had a taste for anything, I only went out to go to school and even there, I didn't feel out of place. Not that I was afraid that they would come after me again, no, it's just that I felt like a stranger. A place where Michael is not there was strange to me and therefore I just wanted to leave, not feeling happy to be there. I sighed watching the students in the yard as I walked towards the S building. What happened with John Keller made headlines and changed morals. The people involved, Central's administrative system, everything was turned upside down with new cases opening up because they had been botched by the influence of John Keller. I was so scared for Michaël, that his father's bad deeds would fall on him. Indeed, it wasn't in vain because a lot of people on TV, during shows, and even in forums, spat on him, insulting him. I wondered how he managed to handle the pressure, such a wave of unscr
Another morning like the others, completely ordinary and where I would certainly do the same things as yesterday. I sighed getting up from my bed before looking at the time. 9 am, I always get up so early but today, I enjoyed my Saturday morning. For my discharge, I went to bed very late. I worked on a group project with friends all night and we finished almost at dawn. Luckily for me, Aden came to wait for me and stayed there throughout the session. I could see the girls in my group giggling, giving him teasing looks. He was always handsome, something even I could see. And his wild side gives him a certain charm that I guess makes all girls frail. I shrugged my shoulders before heading to the bathroom. I should make him a good meal to thank him for being so present in my life, it's something invaluable to me. I shook my head realizing that the way I looked at Aden had changed over time and it bothered me to have to think about it. Aden is a dear friend that I don't want t
Aden drove me in his car toward the club. Frankly, I don't know what awaits me but either I trust Aden. It will be my first time and seriously I am apprehensive... We drove for a while before he parked outside a club, I looked at the glare lights and despite still being outside, I could hear the music blaring inside. The vibrations traveled into the car and I felt that I would come out with a horrible headache. I sighed before looking at Aden who had his cell phone in his hands. "These assholes are already inside..." I gave a disapproving look, it's not a way to address his friends but again it's about Aden and his crude language is a form of trademark. He looked at me with his usual carnivorous smile and came to caress my cheek. “You are really beautiful, sweetheart. ” I nodded in embarrassment before turning away from him. He chuckled then got out of the car and opened the door for me. "This way princess" I got out and he locked the car, directing me inside. He was by
My body is so heavy and this feeling of nausea... I opened my eyes with difficulty and at the moment of opening them, I felt a violent pain twist my skull and I placed my hand on my head realizing that I am in soft sheets. Sheets? My eyes widened and I suddenly looked up before regretting it because the already unbearable pain in my head got worse and I moaned at the horrible feeling. I nevertheless turned my head to look at my surroundings, realizing that I did not recognize it at all. The walls were made of blue color and the bed was gray. It was not my room. Where am I? I just remember that yesterday Aden and I were in this club and then we danced. I put my hand on my head, just wanting to remember last night was painful so I'm going to avoid it for now. Even if in the end, I should know what happened. I sighed deciding to get out of this bed when I heard a clicking sound. The door opened and Aden came in carrying a meal tray. “Hello Marmot” I looked up at him a littl
I had an exhausting weekend. After the outing with Aden, I didn't have time to take advantage of my Sunday, my mind was too disturbed by Aden's request. I asked him for a few days to think about it, but after that will I get an answer? I think of him and I feel bad because he must have silenced these feelings for a very long time. The fact that he treats me so well and that I take advantage of it gives me a big case of conscience. Am I abusing his feelings? As soon as I need him, he comes running and I take advantage of it, which, after realizing it, makes me think about the direction to take about our future relationship. So, my Sunday was a real introspection to such an extent that I didn't go to see my nephew. I honestly feel like a bad aunt... Monday finally arrived, sooner than I would have liked, and as usual, Aden was outside my door. I sighed before opening the door for him trying my best not to make eye contact. I felt like if I did, I would have more pressure to giv
