"Love because that phase will be over soon."[Christian]
The cold weather hit Riley's skin and she shivered from the inside out. But what was surprising was she didn't shiver alone, the hand that was engulfing hers also shivered. The twigs outside we're shining and swaying in the wind after being washed by the rain.
Her eyes met his and Christian gave her a silly smile. From what she observed, he looked like a man crazily in love with her. He lifted the coat in his arms and draped it on her shoulders. His eyes fixed on trying to button it for her even though his fingers were trembling from the cold."Honey, you need it more than me," Riley said, hurling her thoughts in the back of her mind.Christian only looked down at her eyes, and her breath was caught in her throat. His chocolate brown gaze had captured hers, and now there was no escaping.

"Some souls stay true to their love forever."[Christian] Stuart although liked women he never understood them, all the women he had been surrounded with were just constructs of uniqueness yet remained the same in some of their responses. He left Starbucks only when the clock struck 11:30 in the morning. She never came as if she didn't even hear his voice. He felt dejected, sad, and angry. Stuart had not expected it. He knew he had hurt her in ways more than she could explain but he never knew her hurt was so dreadful that she even refused to see him. There were tears, an hour long. Christian was really worried about his facial injuries incident this time. His driver had pulled up his car when he saw his assistant in the street arguing with a man and she looked mad in her appearance. Her small body was shaking with anger, like a person who was st
"O Heart, change my love for someone." [Stuart] ******* Riley's eyes flickered left and right, her gaze settling on the woman in the middle and her eyes dilated. She was wearing a creamy yellow dress suiting her slender body perfectly but not too revealing. Her hands and shoulders were covered in balloon sleeves revealing a pair of white wrists which were in contradiction with the latest fashion yet she still managed to look hot. there was a tiny silver necklace of heart shape enveloping her long neck; one that Riley gifted her years ago. She still keeps it so close to her. Her shoulder-length blonde hair down, as a few hairs bounced to the other side carried by the wind. As if sensing her gaze, she pushed th
"Past affects Future; it extinguishes several opportunities just because you are afraid of your past repetition." [Lisa] ******* After gathering herself, Lisa spoke. "Wow. I thought I am going to be the one who will surprise you." She paused, looking distant. "You surprised me. Well, you always do. But honestly, I never saw that coming." Hearing this Riley's face was like being clouded with dark clouds. Her expression looked bitter, her eyes remorseful. "I never wanted my wedding like that too babe. You know me better than I know myself. I just didn't get the time to do anything before I was married." Lisa pondered over her words. Yet she was mad. She had so many dreams to fulfill at her wedding. Fury flooded her mind and reason left her for a second. As she banged hard on the table drawing people's attention towards
"Trust is conditional, So analyze the intention, and forgive people for their intention." [Ifveen] ******* "So? Why are we here?" Riley said standing outside the mall looking up at Christian? "I want to make sure this evening is well spent." It was the first time, Christian was not lying to Riley, and his intention, as well as the subtext, was clear. 'We are going on a date.' They stood there, the two of them. Since leaving the hospital, he has been feeling odd. He has felt joy but with a tinge of distress. He has felt alive and numb. He had spent two days with Jacqueline all mushy and found his fears. He had hugged her in sleep, tighter than usual. He had spent an hour face-timing with his
"Reminding myself from time to time, to stick to the plan."[Christian] ******* Riley had not expected his sister to be so calm, classy, and sophisticated. She was almost like Mindy. Lovable and touchy. "This is the first time I am meeting you, Riley, so I don't know if you will like it, but it's my intention so please accept it." She didn't know what to do. Should she accept it? Or should she not. Maybe accepting was safer. But before she could Mindy stepped beside her and accepted it on her behalf. "Emma, you are not supposed to force her to accept your gifts. Let her get comfortable beside you. Did you forget what I told you? The woman sat down, her face dr
"It's hard when you don't know why your partner is sad, but it's even harder when you don't know how to approach him and ask about it." [Riley Brown] Stuart: Oh, How did that happen Ril-boo? Riley: It happened when we were in the hospital, Stuart. I am out and in a meeting can we talk later? Stuart: Oh. Okay sure. Just answer this last question of mine. Riley: Go on ask. Stuart: Have you received my text message last time? Riley: No. I didn't. I think you must have texted me around when my phone was broken. So that explains. Stuart: Okay, I
"Don't ever look for validation of your relationship from your friends, or family. Focus more on what your partner makes you feel like, and how much effort he puts into making you feel appreciated, loved, validated, and happy." [Author] ******* Later the same day, Riley was sitting on the chair and staring at Stuart. They were in a club. Of course, he invited her and when she turned up here he was already waiting perhaps for an hour. They were in an area with minimum noise. It felt like someone had booked the part of the club for that night since the crowd was less. Of course, she didn't want to come to a club to talk, but Stuart said it was important. 'Ah. How I wish I was sleeping in Mindy's arms, cuddling with him.' She didn't know what he was ta
"There is a place of logic even in lies. So don't just hate a person because they broke your trust. Just analyze the logic and believe in explanations. Because not everyone wants to hurt you." [Author] Riley's heart was a weird thrashing mess as Mindy aka Her Husband Christian Evercast waltzed towards her car, his black hair falling on his eyes like a curtain protecting his windows of the soul. He now looked like a creature from this fake world. Wearing a pair of grey pants and a white shirt under a black overcoat. Few people looked at him with admiration. That she knew was stupid. No wonder, Stuart said so many worst things about him. No wonder he said, 'I hope you won't regret it.' His beautiful lips were pulled up in a gorgeous smile as he waved at her. Riley had never seen through his smile. He was perhaps a malicious man
