Dion came down first with his perfect and elegant demeanor, the flashes of the cameras were already shooting at him and waiting for the beautiful lady that always followed him. However, something was different this time, he had spent more time in the car and he seemed a bit unkempt.
One side of his hair was not arranged properly and from the corner of his face, there was a slight stain... a red stain..."Do you see that?""What?!""That is... is it lipstick?!""Oh my!"The crowd was making noise for the young lady that will follow the man, her beautiful hand and then a slender arm came to the view as her gorgeous pair of feet came to the view. However, the woman that they were expecting was not there, instead, a rare beauty, almost breathtaking took Dion's hand and walked forward."Who... who is that?""Oh my... she is so beautiful. Is she an actress?""No, I don't think so, with that face, I would have recognized her.""But... who"Mr. Hesse.""Good evening, Mr. Hesse.""How do you do, Mr. Hesse?"The flood of people shaking hands with Dion didn't stop when they realized that he had entered the venue. However, they were not only looking at the tall regal man beside Thea, but they were inspecting her from head to toe. Though some of those gazes were filled with curiosity, some others didn't disguise their lust inside. "Who might this beautiful girl be?""She is..." Dion wanted to announce it, he was prepared to say the words, however, before any declaration could be made, the arm of another woman surrounded his. "Brother Dion, did you take my cousin to the party, why didn't you tell me?" Rose moved beside him quickly as Dion was about to speak. "Oh... is this your cousin, Miss Rose? It seems that the beauty grows in your family.""Indeed, she is Thea Lark, my cousin, though, we hadn't met for a long time, how do you do, Thea?"Thea looked at her and smiled sweetl
The soft breeze from the balcony gave Thea a breath from the painful headache she was feeling. However, for the harm done to her heart, only some wine was her medicine. 'It can't be true,' she thought, 'he wasn't lying to me... he wasn't...'There was a lump in her throat that was making it hard for her to breathe, and she was already tearing. The soft wind from outside was helping her feel cold again, to numb her senses, to numb her heart. Then again, the words, the discussions came to her mind. 'He only likes my body,' she smirked. 'I should have expected it.'"Thea?"A soft and gentle voice came from behind, it was a familiar voice, from a long-time friend. Thea turned around and saw him, a tall man with tanned skin and green shiny eyes. If any were to describe him, he will be a handsome prince that only needed his entourage of women throwing flowers to complete the image. "Peter..." Thea smiled though, the pain was still making her countenance pale and
From the moment Rose appeared with her group of followers and her mother, Thea had tried to take her hand from Dion's grasp. It was painful to watch how he was letting Rose use his arm as if it was natural. "Please, let go," she whispered as the other women were still talking. However, he didn't move. Somehow he felt happy watching her getting jealous in front of him for the first time, and even if he had to stand the touch of that woman, he will let her for once. Then he heard the words, the ones he had been waiting for the whole night. "I will announce it formally," he said and made his way to the platform. However, Rose didn't let go of his arm even when he gave her a signal to let go. Thea walked with him too, but the pain in her heart was increasing with every step. 'He won't do this, right? With her here... no... please...'Dion moved to the microphone as the two women stood by his side, then every eye from the room stared at him. The dazzlin
"Marion, why should I wear this?"Thea arrived at her best friend's house with the worst face. Pale, tears, and vacant eyes. Peter was with her and tried to cheer her up but every try was a fail, Thea didn't feel any enthusiasm with his jokes and comments and only wanted to rest. However, the next morning, Marion woke her up, and she had to almost carry Thea's lanky body to shover her to the bath. "Those are my clothes, and you don't have clothes, nor any money or a phone to repay me, you are at my mercy, my dear."Thea was still with nothing, she had asked for another phone and some of her cards but it will take a while to recover them all. However, what broke her was her computer. And even if she had some backups, it would be a hassle to do that and start over again with a new computer. However, it was that or return to that place, and she won't do that. Thea looked down at her, a tight dress, professional and elegant, but short, the kind that can show
"Brother Dion..."Dion was inside his main Mansion in the Capital. That was the biggest property of the Hesse family and the owner and CEO of the company was the only one allowed to live inside. However, Dion never stayed there as he didn't like to be surrounded by many people, annoying people. Now, he had been alone in the bar counter of the mansion for a while. His clothes were still the same as the night before, but his pale and wasted countenance showed nothing of his joyful aura from a day before. His grandpa had even asked him to meet him after a few days when he returns from his travel. Most likely it will be to scold him and nag him to death, however, Dion didn't care. His mind was only fixed in one person, a pair of eyes, and the words she said. Rose stared at the man she had always loved and tried to console him but she was not making any progress for a few hours now. The man was still looking at his glass without any intention to turn to see her. Ev
"Dion, my friend!"The VIP room at Ruby club stank of alcohol and snacks mixed with the perfume of the many women that were hanging around the young bachelors. There was loud music, there were cheers and laughter, it was a full party. However, in between the fun were three men with outstanding looks and dressed elegantly in their expensive suits. If anyone would dare to describe them, they will tell that they are like princes. One with a flirty but enchanting appearance, red hair with a charming smile, the other with some intellectual aura, though gentle and elegant. The last one, with a lonely and mysterious personality, though his beautiful face was like an oil painting, flawless. "Hey Dion, you came!" the one with red hair and an enthusiastic aura raised his glass of wine the moment Dion entered the room. The other girls gasped in delight as the man was not the same as a prince, but a King. "What are you doing?"Dion looked around and found that mixed
The pair of arms that were holding her, the face that was looking at her, and the soft voice that was talking to her, all of that changed in a second. Now she was seeing a pair of blue dazzling eyes. Beautiful blue eyes, the kind that she knew they can sweep her heart away in one second. Then those lips, the kind that reminded him of a man, the one in her memories and dreams, the kind that she had always wanted to taste every day of her life."You..." Thea's dazed stare tried to recall where she had seen the man before her. She knew he was familiar. She knew he was the one she had been waiting for for so long but she didn't remember. "You are... you are the man... in my dream."The strange phrase made Dion look at her with a frown and a bit of a smile. It was as if she was telling him that she has been thinking of him, the same as the many times he had been imaging her next to him every day. "I dreamt... of you the night before... then the night before, and before th
"Today will be the last time I see him, today everything will end."Thea Lark fixed her eyes at the tall building in the main street. Many people in office suits were walking out the glass door, and some others were entering with their professional attires and conceited looks. All of them seemed proud to be part of that company, and to be his employees, the great Dion Hesse employees."This is the last time," she whispered as she saw the entrance and the big name of Empire Corp right outside the main glass door.A few months ago, she would be scared and hesitant to come and see that man. Now only a firm and resolute expression with nothing else to lose was reflected in her beautiful blue eyes.This time she had come to end everything. She didn't care a damn about what that man would think of her and her family. Thea hadn't come to give a face to anyone anymore. Not even that man. She had enough.She walked with steady steps, a straight back, and with her simple and no

"Wait... Dion... mmm"The sudden move of the man that claimed to be her husband and the only one with the right to touch her, made her want to punch him in the face. She had spent so many hours being tortured into fitting that dress, or at least six dresses, and a few hours more with the make-up and the hair, but he... that man just took her into his arms and kissed her without shame. Not minding the carefully done hair and her beautiful make-up. He didn't care when she was already gasping and moaning when his hands started touching her legs. Even when the man in the driver seat was already red to the ears and lifting the parting panel. "Dion... Stop it!"Thea pushed the beast of her husband from her, but her flushed face and her lips, already smeared from the savagery of her husband's lips, made Dion try to take her again. She stopped him before he dared to move forward again. "I will not go to that party if you... you don't control yourself."
