“I wonder why Stefan suddenly ask us to have family dinner. It’s quite random and unexpected.” Louis told his wife as they were walking toward the restaurant.
When they received Stefan’s call last week asking them to have dinner together with Elliot as well, they felt like something was odd. Stefan wasn’t exactly the most generous man toward his family.
In fact, he often acted like he didn’t want to have anything to do with his family at all unless there was an important business he needed to deal with them.
He wouldn’t ask them to have dinner with him out of nowhere like that. There had to be a deeper reason why he was doing it and it was making them nervous.
Elliot was also there. He came separately from his parents. His younger sister couldn’t come because she had other proje

"Loyalty is a decision, a resolution of the soul."-Pascal Mercier-***Stefan walked into his office that day as usual and he noticed that a lot of his male employees were smiling and there was something different in the air.“Have you seen the new girl, she’s so young and beautiful. Finally, we get to see something refreshing in the office.”“That’s the downside of working in the tech industry right, most of our colleagues are men and the women are just not attractive at all, but that new girl, I think she will become a breath of fresh air here.”Stefan accidentally overheard the conversation between his employees so he approached them and asked them what was happening.“Why do you guys seem so excited, what’s going on?” He asked.“Oh, sir, you haven’t heard about it? Our company has a new recruit. For now she’s still an intern a

"I never said it would be easy, I only said it would be worth it."-Mae West-***Eva had finished her work early that day and she figured out since she had a lot of free time, she should probably cook something for Stefan and brought it to his office.Since she had been to Trident headquarter, she could easily navigate it with no problem and Stefan left his driver with her so she could ask him to drive her there. Transport no longer became a problem.“Now let’s see, what should I make?” She walked to the kitchen and saw their personal chef, Wagner there and she approached him with curiosity.“Hey, I would like to make something for Stefan, do you know what his favorite dish are and can you help me make them? I’d like something quick and easy to make because I want to deliver them to him later.” She told him.“Oh, of course I can help you. Mr. Romand is a huge fan of

I have a few business that I need to take care for today and it’s requiring my full attention.”It was Saturday morning and usually every weekends, Eva and Stefan would be going on a date but that week, Stefan actually had some work to do and he couldn’t accompany her until evening.“I can take you out in the evening and we can have dinner together, but I don’t want you to be bored during daytime, so I have told my driver to drive you anywhere you want to go today.”He told her before pulling out his card holder and handed over his black card to her.“Get anything you want today, consider it an apology from me.” He told her.Eva was almost shaking when she was grabbing that black card because never in

"Never let your emotions overpower your intelligence."-Drake-***“What would you like to tell me, my love?” He asked as he grabbed her hand so she could sit beside him.“Earlier, I met with a childhood friend of mine at the mall. He was the sales associate for Cartier store that I went into and he invited me to have a meal with him if I want to so we could catch up on our lives.”Hearing this, Stefan raised his brow.“And what do you plan to do?” He asked her.“I want to go, but I don’t want you to get the wrong idea, that’s why I am telling you about it first.” She admitted. Stefan thought about it for a few seconds before answering.“Okay, I will let you meet him but I must come with you as well to make sure that he doesn’t cause you any harm.” He told her.Eva was a bit weirded out because he was acting like a fat

Fremuth-***It had almost been a week since she started working there and Madeline had made a few attempts to get close to Stefan, from bringing him coffee to spreading her charm around him hoping he would finally notice her and pay some attention.No, no matter what she did, he never batted an eye toward her and it was making her frustrated.Meanwhile, she saw him smiling at his phone a few times before while texting someone and she assumed it was his girlfriend he was texting.She recalled the woman’s face last time and still thought that Eva was just a plain jane.“Just what exactly does he see in his girlfriend?” She wondered.Madeline was so curious that she started to create a rather odd plan. She decided to follow them as they went on their date.It was a long story but she

"Surprise is the greatest gift which life can grant us."-Boris Pasternak-***It was Sunday morning and Eva woke up because she heard some noises from outside. She checked the clock and it was eight am.Usually Eva would be awake by seven because she was an early bird and if she wasn’t already awake by then, Stefan would knock on her door to wake her up for breakfast.This time it was slightly different and it made her wonder what was happening. She pushed away the blanket and walked outside.She stepped into the elevator and headed downstairs and when the elevator door opened, Eva saw Stefan’s younger sister Monica and her husband Patrick who Eva had met at her birthday party before, but something was a bit different this time because she didn’t come there alone.There was also a little stroller with a bear, I mean, a human baby inside, but the baby was wrapped in a bear jumpsuit for babie

"The soul is healed by being with children."-Fyodor Dostoevsky-***As Eva and Stefan walked at the mall, they both noticed that people seemed to be staring at them more often than usual and they wondered if it was because they had a baby with them.It was subtle but definitely noticeable.From the strangers’ perspective, it was because they saw the epitome of what looked like a perfect family.A handsome and protective father figure, a beautiful and caring mother figure and the most adorable little baby wearing a bear costume.It seemed perfect and sweet at the same time they just couldn’t help themselves.“What do you want to eat, Eva?” Stefan asked her.“I am not really that hungry, let’s just grab something light.” She told him. It was a bit unusual because Eva was one of the hungriest woman he ever knew. It wasn’t that she ate a lot but she e

"In the aftermath, we are because they were."-R.J Heller-***“Brother, do you think we’re doing the right thing?” Stefan and Monica met up at a restaurant and they booked a private room to have discussion about what had been happening recently.Monica was drinking her tea while looking absolutely devastated.Her eyes were red and puffy because she had been crying all night. Stefan felt a bit of sympathy for her but his determination was far more resolute.“We already knew that sooner or later something like this would happen.” Stefan took a bite out of his meal with a rather heavy sigh.“Her state hasn’t been stable in the recent years. I know she has been through so much and sacrificed a lot for the two of us.” He paused for a moment before continuing.“But right now, she has lost her mind so far that she’s willing to actively harm someone.

The grip around her neck tightened and he was choking her at this point.“Why did you do that, Natalie? What did Eva ever do to you that you had the heart to poison her?” He

"It's never a done deal until it's a done deal."-Alexandra Daddario-***“Stefan, for the hundredth time, I told you already, I would be fine.” Eva was finally discharged from the hospital and on her way back home, Stefan told her that she wasn’t supposed to leave or go anywhere without his supervision for at least a month until Christmas day and Eva thought he was overreacting.“I know you are physically fine now but in the past two months alone, I nearly lost you a few times and I can’t risk losing you again. That’s why it’s better to be safe than sorry, at least for now.” Stefan told her.Eva wondered why he suddenly acted like this. The Stefan she knew wasn’t such an uptight man but ever since she got poisoned and almost lost her life, he had been acting so protective over her. “Fine, but at least let me go outside, it’s not like I am goin

"The truth will set you free, but not until it is finished with you."-David Foster Wallace-***Stefan didn’t want to waste any time. He wanted to figure out the truth as soon as possible, hence why he quickly opened his laptop and inserted the USB drive into it.There was a file containing CCTV recording from the restaurant that evening.“How did you manage to get this file?” Stefan raised his brow. Keith shrugged.“I have my ways. You’re not the only one with power and influence around here, you know.” He responded lazily. Stefan didn’t want to overthink it and checked on those recording one by one. Then, he saw something that shocked him.An hour before the supposed gathering time, Natalie already arrived there and Sheila arrived not long after that.He could see Natalie placing the arsenic bottle on Sheila’s back, which looked like a part of their pl

"What we plant in the soil of contemplation, we shall reap in the harvest of action."-Meister Eckhart-***Stefan watched as Eva was lying unconscious on the hospital’s bed. Two hours had passed since he rushed her to the hospital.He remember how panicked he was when he arrived. Eva was immediately handled and brought to the ER.She had her pulse and everything else checked and later on, after the situation calmed down a little, the doctor approached him.“She’s suffering from Arsenic poisoning. Thankfully, the dosage wasn’t too high and you were quick to bring her here so she could receive the right treatment on time. Otherwise, she might pass away. You should consider yourself lucky.” The doctor told him.Hearing that statement nearly crushed him. The thought that if he was just a bit late he might have lost her forever truly frightened him.Once her condition was cons

"Poison is in everything and no thing is without poison. The dosage makes it either a poison or a remedy."-Paraceisus-***The dinner went on for a few minutes and through it all, Eva was feeling the pressure from all around her. She felt like that family gathering was just an excuse to corner her.She knew Stefan would never purposely harm her, but the people around him, they were some of the worst people she ever knew and she wanted nothing to do with them.“Oh, why are you so quiet, Eva? I am certain when we met each other last time, you had a lot to say for yourself.” Sheila started provoking Eva in the middle of the meal.“I have nothing to say or prove to you.” Eva replied briefly.“Of course you don’t. If it’s not because of my son, you wouldn’t even have anything going on for yourself in the first place. My son is the reason why you are able to enjoy su

She really didn’t want to go and her intuition was telling her that something was wrong with the gathering.“Stefan, for the last time, can I just stay at home? I really don’t want to go.” She whined.Throughout their relationship, Eva wasn’t the kind of woman who would whine and make t

Do you remember me? Stefan used to bring me once when he was still at the university.” Sheila was digging deep into her memory before her eyes lit up and she nodded.“Ah, yes, I rem
