"The expected is what keeps us steady. It's the unexpected that changes our lives forever."

Walking around with the necklace on made her felt so precious, although the necklace did go well with the jewelry she had at the moment, she felt like it still stood out due to the fact that it was made from 22K gold and contained real diamond on it.
Damian had told her to put it on throughout their entire date because he wanted to make sure that she was aware of the man beside her, who had promised to granted her a life full of security and stability, both literally and figuratively.The necklace was just a small part of his promise for their future.
Beside that, She thought it was adorable so she kept it on.
"Make sure you keep on holding my hands, I want people to see that you are mine." He stated casually as he held her hand tightly.
Lana was not sure why he was acting a bit more protective of
"Love the giver more than the gift."-Brigham Young-***“Yes, of course I’ll marry you.” Lana chuckled as she accepted his proposal. Her heart was beating like crazy. She had never felt such strong joy in her life before. Perhaps it was because her life was mostly filled with crazy events concerning her family background, but for the first time in her life she felt so giddy and happy like a little girl. Damian too was relieved and he could not stop smiling as he gently inserted the ring on her ring finger.As he had expected, the ring fits her perfectly. She had shown him her ring collection before and he had secretly measured them. Could not help it, he had planned on marrying her since they returned back from Vincent’s old manor. Almost losing her was what made him realize he could not bear the thought of losing her. He thought the only way to secure her for himself forever was by making sure she became
"What you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments. but what is woven into the lives of others."-Pericles-***She did not know who the woman was or how she was able to know her name, it was the first time she had ever seen her. The woman was definitely not an ordinary woman since she had this strong presence of mystique on her. Her eyes were pitch black, almost as if they were tattooed and she had a futuristic, almost robotic impression. Lana was not sure what kind of business she had with her.However, she could already tell the woman was not welcomed into her life. The woman did come alone which was sort of a relief because she was not in the mood to fight anyone. There was no threat and no signs of attack coming from her. Still, Lana was not going to let her guard down, experience had taught her to never do so in front of strangers.“Who are you and how do you know my name?” She questioned,
"Maybe it's a fairy tale, but I believe in happily ever after."-Jennifer Aniston-***A lot of things happened to Damian and Lana throughout the year. After the proposal was over, the two of them quickly set up their dreams together with the resources they had in hand at the moment.They had bought a comfortable penthouse in New York near their newly established company office. Lana remained true to her words and used the money she inherited to invest in the company with Damian as the CEO and her being the board member director. She would be watching everything while advising Damian in every move he made. Basically it belonged to both of them by title, but Lana was the one controlling everything.Yes, she thought in the tech industry it would be better and much comfortable for her to use Damian as the front face of the company while she became the mastermind. It was not that she was incapable of handling the company herse
"Man dies of cold, not of darkness." -Miguel de Unamono- *** All life has left the place once filled with laughters and mending tears. She found no reason to stay, therefore she had to leave. Yet she had no idea the madness that followed from the trail she left behind. Dark, cold and Smokey. Three words which perfectly described the Russet Manor in the middle of Washington winter. Thick scent of cigar in the air mixed with the burning scent of the fireplace filled the entire place. Soft wailing of the dogs was faintly heard from the backyard where they were kept on the leash under skillful hands of their trainer. It was snowing outside and the weather was quite terrible, yet it did not stop them from doing their jobs if they still wished to keep it.
"Come not within the measure of my wrath." -William Shakespear- *** "You idiots, how could you let this happen!?" his rage was untamed when he finished reading the letter. He threw the piece of paper to the fireplace where it was devoured within seconds. Each guards on shift that night was summoned to his office. They were shivering as cold air ran through their bare neck. They have been ordered to strip their clothes off and left with nothing but their underwear as they stood in the room further away from the source of heat. The only person in the room beside them was one of the maid who stayed quietly on the back of the room, trying to not get involved in her master's wrath. None of them dared to reply, each of them were staring at
"Being a hero doesn't mean you're invincible, it just means that you're brave enough to stand up and do what's needed." -Rick Riodan- *** Warm puff of breath gathered in the air as he exhaled his first breath in Moscow. The first thing he saw as soon as he left the airport was the vast amount of snow gathered on the side of the road. People around him were mostly wearing fur coats or a thick layer of winter coat. He wondered why he thought visiting the place in winter was a great idea. Yet there he was, dragging his luggage to find the nearest taxi. Damian had a high expectation for the next week. He did not know what made him decide to visit the city after all these years, he had never been a fan of the colder weather and always preferred to stay in the warm. Perhaps it was due to his change of perspective toward the world, after hitting his 30's, he had tried to be more open toward the poss
"Life is beautiful not because of the things we see or do. Life is beautiful because of the people we meet."-Simon Sinek-***What had just happened?Damian was speechless, he had never seen a lady looking like her did something like that before. He had to admit it got his heartbeat pacened up a bit when he saw her badass fighting style. There was a strange chemical reaction in his stomach, one he did not quite comprehend just yet."What a bunch of animals!" she cursed as she hit his neck. Unlike Damian who tried to avoid the vital spots, she did not even hesitate or flinch when she smashed their face to the ground. The woman was pissed, her eyes w
"Good manners do more for a man than good looks." -E.W. Howe- *** Damian was seated in a study chair in the living room writing down some notes of his activities for the next day. Everything was planned. We would spend his entire day exploring the Red Square, just to see if it was really as fascinating as people claimed it to be, everything was listed in a rough outline but he had a pretty good picture of what his day would be. After that, he went to the kitchen to make some dinner. The menu for the day was steamed vegetables with boiled chicken with a little bit of chili sauce. Not the most flavorful dish, but most importantly, it was healthy. He had been paying a lot of attention to his health since he realized he was not very young anymore, at least he thought he was not.

"You will never find a woman without ready answer."-William Shakespeare-***Damian felt like an absolute fool. He could not believe himself since he was not able to properly meet up with Lana just because he was still thinking about what her reaction might be. He knew both of them were not teenagers and they had been through a lot together but there was a part of him that was still afraid if Lana took his gifts the wrong way and ended up feeling even more upset than before.Usually he would come and visit her everyday ever since Dimitri was murdered however he had not visited her in the past two days since he received all the items he needed to give her because of his own personal fear. Truly, Damian felt like he was acting like his old self who was too unbothered to approach a woman.He knew he could not continue acting that way because Lana might get the wrong perception of him, although the two of them had been commun
"There comes a day when you realize turning the page is the best feeling in the world, because you realize there is so much more to the book than the page you were stuck on."-Zayn Malik-***Ivana walked down the airplane with a huge smile on her face. For the first time in years she felt a sense of freedom she could never did before. She could already smell the joy which the future held for her and her heart was beating in excitement. Who would have thought fate would eventually led her there? It was truly a miracle.After Vincent’s death which made her stomach turned, she thought her future was hopeless, after all it was Vincent who had provided everything for her these entire time, but then she spent a few days contemplating about it and realized that his death was far from being a curse and ending of her life. No, it was the opposite, his death was truly a blessing in disguise. For a man who have hurt so many innocent
"God prunes us when He is about to take us into new season of growth and expansion."-Christine Caine-***Lana woke up that day feeling a bit more refreshed than usual, she had cried so much these past few days that she ended up being unable to cry any longer. She had also been taking a break from work and spent most of her time sleeping as she tried to forget what had been happening and the day finally came when she could cope with reality and felt slightly better. She felt like she was starting to recover from the trauma. It had been exactly a week since it happened and although it might be a brief amount of time, for her it had been the longest week. She decided she no longer wanted to feel like useless crap, so she did a bit of meditation that morning and some light exercises as she got her body used to the movement again.Afterward she showered and made a light breakfast, the past week she had been eating pretty unhealthy b
"Revenge is a confession of pain."-Latin Proverb-***When Vincent was much younger, his family still lived in their old house in the countryside area of the city far away from the rest of the population. Even though it was located in the countryside, the neighborhood was still considered an upper class neighborhood with high security system and access to beautiful view.The man might not remember it as an adult, but as a child he used to have a neighbor couple who had a young daughter who was one year younger than he was. She had the most stunning pale blue eyes and classic golden blonde hair which made her perfect as a cast of They used to play together for years until he was sixteen and she was fifteen. While Vincent was busy learning about business and caring for his education, the young girl would often sneak into his house and climbed through his window, since his room was on the first floor.The young girl was alwa
"Sometimes the biggest disappointment leads you to the right place."-Carey Graeber-***The woman was dressed in a black sleeveless A-line dress. She crossed her legs and placed her red bottom shoes on top of the man who was on all four right underneath the table. The tip of her heels was right on top of his head but the man did not seem bothered at all, in fact, he remained still without making any sound in fear of disappointing her.She had been watching everything through the hundreds screen within the large room, each played using tiny robotic projectors within the place. Through her pitch black eyes, she saw what had happened and tapped her fingers on the table. She was supposed to be happy the man she hated the most in the world was eventually dead, however she felt extremely dissatisfied with how things turned out simply because it was not her who got rid of him, it was someone else and the thought of him dying without ex
