Do your best so you don't regret it. Because maybe you won't know what will happen in the future. It could be that the things you don't enjoy today are what will give you happiness in the future. Therefore, be wise in using time. Do not waste the opportunity that is there…-0-0—FlashbackVilla Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France. November 29, 2006He realized she should have left a long time ago, but something made her stay. He helped her prepare the cake, which was a great time. She used to help him in the kitchen, he seems to have forgotten a lot. But he was, as always, patient. And the results are more than worth all the effort they have put in. It was the best chocolate cake he had tasted in a long time.With cake and the rest of the champagne they sat on the couch in his living room and looked out over the ocean and night sky with Gary lighting the fire. She should have run away, buts he didn't. As she said, there was nowhere else she wanted to be. and there was no one else he wou
In life, many events come and go. Gives a lot of experiences and memories that are hard to forget. Sometimes you may want to always be in the same moment. The time when you are calm and happy….-0-0—RealLifeRiri giggled with tickle when Lily bounced the elastic yoga ball against her body, Riri tried to reach out to take the elastic ball but it always ran back to Lily on the green field of a city park in Chicago, Lily happily let her explore even when she didn't try too hard. The sun had started to shine but the weather was still cool, warming them comfortably while relaxingA day off was rare for Jane to relax like this, so she always made the most of it with her daughter when she had one. Usually, her time is divided between company duties, her father gave her endless responsibilities at her previous company even while still living in France, and taking care of herself she almost forgot about. Even though Viola had quickly helped her when she was moved here and was now able to accep
I find hope in the darkest days, and focus on the brightest. I don't blame the universe... Hope will always be present for those who believe in changeLily and Riri ran some distance, approaching them when Gary finally tried to stay still. Lily received a smiling bottle of Coke from her mother and listened as Riri regaled them all with stories, but Jane herself still refused to comment. Instead, she was content to just look around her and watch the world go by and avoid glancing sideways“I can't count the number of fights I've lost when I with you” Lily confessed to Riri after taking a sip “Well, I've always faced older men, who papa's chosen, his bodyguards.” she rolled her eyes as she continued "and I know 'papa's always staring at them for them to let me win" She bit into a sandwich and handed some to Riri where she lay down in the grass, amusing herself by making raw flower crowns. "Now. You are always on target! God, I will not yield to you…”“Right now I believe you are a bette
If you take time for granted, the world will take you for granted. Don't waste the time you have, because every second will give you valuable meaning....It's not the garden. Lily didn't know where she was. but it's right in the middle of a meadow right next to a stream that leads to a lake in the distance with some of the same families picnicking in various places in the park. Yes, there's no way all of that could be experienced without them, Lily stared as everyone started to pack up"I don't want to go home" Lily squeaked. “Where the heck are we? And how did we get here but I don’t want back home?” There was an ache in her shoulder from the immense pleasure that coursed through hers, but she realized the sun was almost setting.Riri comes in front of her before she jokes. “Me neither, I only use it to protect my identity while hiding from my enemies. My real name is Valerie, and I'm an angel-” Ignoring the startled laugh from her uncle, she quickly swept his uncle's gaze, took out
Change when you still have time, because maybe there will come a time when you want to change, you no longer have time. As time is the main capital. So be happy for anyone who manages and takes advantage of time….With her daughter and Riri sitting in the back, Jane's familiar feeling was combined with the realization that she missed the fuss. She expected a commotion from her daughter and Riri in the car even if she realized that with both of their tirades it could be important to distract her from the man next to her, who was driving. But when Jane looked back without her noticing and she realized that the silence was because they had drifted off to sleep . . . weighing on her even more now that she had to spend more time there, with him.She even considered drifting off after another glance at the front, but never made a final decision as the man next to her kept stealing glances at her. After all it was a short trip, well she had to spend a full two hours in the car to get home, a
Ordinary people only think how to spend time. But here I think how to use it. No matter how we are, whether we are sad or happy, time never stops waiting. Time keeps running…."—Are you angry about that fact?" She heard her words and now he understood why it was so difficult to form them. She seems insecure, and she doesn't allow most people to see her that way, but she hasn't hidden anything from him about their daughter fact"No. I will never regret it," he said seriously.He didn't need to think about the answer. Even if their relationship wasn't happily ever after, even if the DNA test said otherwise, he would have done the same knowing that. It's the responsible thing to do. And although the bad times overshadow the good times in his memory, he still remembers their happy years like yesterday. And he was sure she remembered too.He considered asking the same question, but he hesitated a bit, as he wasn't sure of the answer. And he didn't want tonight to be ruined like the last ti
However, it is inevitable that everything will change. Time will go on and bring you new moments. It's not even rare that you will meet experiences that make you sad and disappointed….-0-0—Flashback January 2007, Bougival, Paris.—She had to make sure it was her final decision. but her 'papa' is not something Jane can fool easily"Qu'est-ce qui ne va pas ma chère fille?" his father who asked directly in French "don't you like this gift?" her papa' continued as he let go of Jane's embrace and looked at her with eyes of concern but more clarity about his daughter's moodJane looked at him nervously, then avoided his gaze, and looked at her papa’ again as she held his shoulder "I'm— I’m pregnant papa” Jane whispered after a moment"You what?!" he bellowed, his eyes scanning her face rapidly, and Jane was starting to feel that this confession was a bad thing but she had to face this, she felt her hopes were over...when his daughter didn't answer what he said he finally realized his mis
Until we can manage time, we can't manage other things. No matter how bad your past is, if you try hard, there is always a chance to change for the better. maybe the Opportunity to find a better power within us arises when life seems so challenging…."We've reached our destination sleepyhead..." Gary hummed making Jane flinch in her thoughts, heard a groan from behind the seat behind them, who stretched and opened the door and walked towards Lily's door house, who was followed by Riri, Gary just wanted to continue what he said so that they would bring their belongings but they suddenly disappeared inside at the door of the house…"Hey," he greeted her taking Jane's arm gently, trying to push thoughts of the past to the back of her mind."Hey," she spoke quickly, confirming his suspicions that something had her daydreaming, she sighs when they arrived the sky was already dark."Is everything all right?" he asked simply out of politeness. He wasn't exactly open to her excuses at the mom
Jane changed into her thin black lace pajamas with see-through and went about her nightly routine, replaying that night's events in her mind. After they returned to the table, Richard continued to explain, taking every opportunity to point out similarities and common interests between Herself until Jane could barely speak to one another; Richard had said all there was to them. while Jane is tempted to look at her past lover, but forces herself to be a good poker face, relaxing and sipping her wine. There would be time to think about Richard later.She was beginning to suspect Marisa had been talking more to Richard in her absence too, because by the time they all said goodbye it was clear he had the impression it was indeed a date, no joke. he. She pulled him aside and told him in a charming tone how wonderful it was to meet her, and would hope to see her again sometime, to talk business, or…. Jane groaned closing her eyes, for in her memories of being with Richard distracted by the i
Luckily, the orchestra chose that moment to finish the song and the couple in the ballroom stopped dancing, applauding their final performance.She took that as an excuse and checked the watch on his wrist watch “Oh, I didn't notice the time. It's very late," she said to him, "I have an early meeting tomorrow, with your team"Richard looked surprised and disappointed but just nodded at her. She knew it was a lousy excuse and probably one of the worst performances of her life, and they returned to their table again when they wanted to finish the bill."You understand that I invited you to dinner just to not piss me off, right?" he said.Jane laughed at him gently, "Yeah, that's pretty obvious.""So officially, I still owe you another dinner," he smiled, after he waved and silently asked the waiter for the bill, "But we can make it dinner in Chicago if you want," he said as casually as he could and waited for her to answer.Before she could say anything, the waitress returned with the b
He chuckled but pretended to look offended, “Of course! In fact, I am a great dancer. I'm the grandson of the British Ambassador, remember? I started taking ballroom dancing classes at the age of four, just in case Queen Elizabeth stopped by New York,” he said as she joined in on the laughs, irony isn't it? and she'd be dealing with politically strong, it was too complicated Jane thought"—Oh wait. I understand. It's a car thing, right? You don't think people who own automotive companies can dance," he continued the conversation, following another song.More like a robot linker and an airplane, Jane's mind thought with a smile.Out of the corner of her eye she saw a pregnant girl in her twenties dancing with a friend of Richard's who she knew was in his late fifties and her smile faded. She asked herself again, for the thousandth time, how a man could do such a stupid thing.Richard noticed the change in her mood and followed her gaze, “It's Hiko Yamato and his wife. You've probably s
-0-0—YESTERDAY“-uhm, and why do you like roses?” Jane tried to break Richard’s gaze too fixated on her“Well, it’s different with you I guess I should explain first—” Jane smirked as Richard teased her before he continued “Apparently my father is an American businessman who grew up in Europe and my mother is British,” he began after tasting the wine, “They have nothing in common, just the fact that they’re both fresh. Students from the same university in France. My father is a student engineer and my mother studied Literature. Dad loves numbers, and mom loves words. Dad is brown hair, and mom is blonde. Dad is friendly and talkative, mom is shy and introspective—” Jane laughed looking at him“and it’s very specific The other way around” Jane laughed making Richard smile happily“In every way imaginable,” he nodded, “They met at one of those student meet and greets once. “He said he was instantly smitten by her, while mom wasn’t impressed with him at all,” he laughed, “Instead of givi
“I thought you want to help me?” Gary said speaking up. “You said you need me for a mission to get all this started so what do we have to do?” She wasn’t surprised Gary was the first one to ask that question. He had the most experience working with the CIA after all.“It will actually be two missions,” Sia said turning back to the image. “This place belongs to you leader of one of the stronger factions but you hold on it is gonna through black mail and you are assisted in this by your father whom I believe you are familiar with.” An image of his father appeared on Gary mind.“Yes me is leading a Fashion businessman?” Gary said clearly shocked. “I mean I know he’s ruthless enough but I didn’t think anyone would follow him.” She could understand their disbelief but one Gary know the whole picture of his father done then he migh be understand. “He has control over the Command system ship through it’s Dark control systems,” Sia said bringing up the image. “He has allied with his brothe
She glanced at Gary and looked uncomfortable with what he was about to ask her and she did her best to look supportive when his eyes found hers. “I know you would prefer to take some time to deal with leaving your home world again but we don’t have time,” Gary finally said. “We have an important matter to discuss, if you’d tell them what you asked me to do.”She took a breath as She look at him again “Some time ago I asked myself to consider putting myself in contention for this Mission alone.” She could see the understanding look on Gary face. “I agreed to consider it and discuss it with the rest of the truth but when Chief mantion you it kind makes me challenge Doing my job”“This is why you not stepped down to this mission isn’t it?” Gary asked looking at Sia. “You’ve agreed to go along with this mission idea of you take me in to this?” Sia nodded and Gary glanced over at his other side. “You knew about me accidently?”“Only after Chief be seen supporting you behind” Sia said afte
The silent level in the cafe was deafening; so much for the belief that a meeting of the him was always conducted in a decorous fashion, hah. Sia exchanged glances with hm. Of the people present on CIA, she is must to meet him, and here she is. And the only two who weren’t currently expressing their opinions at the top of their lungsDespite the seriousness of the situation, Sia had to stifle a grin as Gary rolled his eyes and whispered, “Now I know why Captain has resisted being promoted for so long!”“I certainly would go insane if I had to deal with you on a regular basis,” Gary agreed. She looked around at the room; to her left. At her immediate left, before She was glad she couldn’t make out more than a few distinct phrases from that particular ‘conversation.’“Gives you a greater appreciation for how tough it is to be CIA agent,” Gary said. “It’s not just I’m who’s unhappy, though I think most of the others were all right until this brought up the plans for the colony.” He shift
“Although their motives appear to be pure,” Gary said with only a trace of irony disappointed in his voice, “but why my dad assets been included to them?!”Sia nods when sigh “That’s why we’ve decided that it would not be prudent to have you going back this job. I’m sending a second ship with you-the Odyssey.” Sia pause considering “but I do want to help you” Gary closed his eyes grunts in annoyed This was exactly what he didn’t want to know about his dad done or his assets... even the Dark Auction wasn’t any worse“Who will be in command of the selection of this mission?” Gary asked slowly“I am but you will be in charge of the overall mission if you join me,” Sia said immediately, answering his unspoken question. “Captain Effic La Farley will be in command to help in France. He’s an excellent officer. Although he’s never held a field command before, he’s headed up a variety of research teams, plus garnered immeasurable experience serving on senior staff for nearly fifteen years befo
“Do they have any other purpose other than making a living for their group?” he asked after awhile “After much effort and time I don’t think so but if the Federation cooperates in their business I’m not so sure” Sia said it made sense because people need dark political funds “There aren’t many easy worlds for illicit or unclaimed business that fit in, especially in that area,” Sia said leaning forward in her chair. Suddenly she had an insight. “Do you think there are the size of the hands of the higher ups in France?” she remembered how the Humans there offered arrivals a chance to settle down if they had sufficient funds. And this must be how the new ship got involved. The more she thought about it now, the more sense it made. Gary’s eyes met hers. “Ahh I think that’s how They claims her Retail is easy since Ms. Arnault’s father is from and settled in France.” Gary sat back, stunned. Many images and memories of his time in France – with Jane, for what they thought would
