"I missed you too, Case," Trinity hugged her back just as tightly.
"Who said anything about missing you?" Came Casey's muffled reply, making Trinity chuckle.
"Okay, okay, no one missed anyone."
"That's what I like to hear," Casey grinned, pulling back.
"Look at you, though, all tanned and stuff. Just how much time did you spend at the beach, huh?" Casey asked, a playful glint in her eyes as she took her best friend in.
Trinity laughed. "Pretty much all of it? I did have twenty one years to make up for."
"I knew it was the best place to take you to. Dmitri had actually want

"So, is that it?" Tyler asked, folding one leg over the other as he leaned back in his seat with a loud sigh."I think so," Trinity answered, going over the file once again just in case they'd missed something.Valéry had sent over her fully equipped planning committee to their penthouse first thing next morning as soon as she knew Dmitri had left for the day to plan for his upcoming party.Trinity had given all four of them a task each before sending them off. She herself had taken on the herculean task of finalising the guest list.Thanks to Tina and all the information about anyone and everyone important that she'd provided Trinity with before her first public appearance, she was able to draft a rough list. But she did need someone with an expert eye to go over it in case she'd missed someone.Since Tina and Valéry both had been busy with someth

"This is the last one on the list. I really hope this is the one or we're screwed," Trinity said as Tyler pulled up into the driveway of the last venue on the list of venues the planning committee had come up with for Trinity to go over and finalize on a venue.Sure, she could've just picked one out at random and be done with it, but she wanted everything to be as close to perfect as it could get. So she'd decided to go see them on her own.When she'd told Tyler that, he'd told her that he would come with her to keep her company and also help her decide on a place.The scene was set from the moment they turned into the driveway of Honeycomb Park. The magnificent mile long lime and beech avenue stood like a guard of honour gently guiding the pair to the graciously restored Palladian mansion.Enveloped within its own classical gardens and extensive parkland, the relaxed elegance of the quintessential

"What do you think about this one?" Casey asked, putting on a neon blue sparkly dress to her front and twirling around a little."If you're going for the hooker look, then sure.""Didn't know missing someone made you a fashion disaster too."Trinity pouted. "I'm not missing anyone.""Yeah, right. Then why, pray tell, are you here on a Friday night for a girls night out when you could've been sleeping or doing some wifely duties of your own?" Casey prompted, raising a brow at her best friend."Wifely duties? Really?" Trinity asked rhetorically."That's beside the point.""And the point is?""That you're missing Dmitri like crazy."Trinity huffed, throwing her hands up. "Fiiine. I am. There, I said it. You happy now?"Casey grinned. "Very. Now quit sulk

Trinity blinked at him. "What do you mean you want me to come home with you?""I mean exactly what you think I mean. I've always really liked you, Tri. But then I saw what you and Dmitri share and I thought I should leave you guys be. Let you guys have a chance at a happy life, ya know? I thought Dmitri would realise how great you are and leave Sam. But that's not happening and I can see that it's hurting you even though you try to hide it. He told me about what happened at your honeymoon. So I figured why not give us a try. I realise how amazing you are and I want to give you everything you deserve and much more," Tyler explained patiently.For someone who had had as many drinks as he had, he sure was articulate enough. "And before you go ahead and say something, no, I am not as drunk as you think you are. I have a very high tolerance for alcohol so these few shots haven't done much." He added, making sure she wouldn't think o

"Is something wrong?" Trinity rushed over to the group of people standing off to the side of the bar, worried over the fast forming crowd that something was wrong.Tina noticed her approaching and walked over to her. "Everything is just fine, Trinity! Calm the hell down! Six people standing in a circle isn't something to get worried over. They're just talking."Trinity sighed, smoothening her hands down her shimmering golden fishtail gown nervously. "I know. It's just that today is a really big day for Dmitri and I helped plan this party and I want everything to-""-go on smoothly. Yes, we know. You've only said it about a million times this past week. You need to calm down, Trinity. The party has already started, Dmitri is happy, his mom is happy, the board of directors is happy. Everyone is having a great time and you've done a great job. Now, sit back, relax and enjoy." Tina said, patting her shoulders f

Dmitri didn't come home that night.Even though he had returned a few minutes after he'd gone after Samantha and stood by Trinity's side for the rest of the night, he'd been distant. He was right there next to her the whole time, but at the same time, he wasn't. It wasn't that he was acting weird, but the difference was there and only someone who knew him closely could tell. The shift was much too subtle but it was there in the way his smile didn't reach his eyes or the way his laugh sounded almost plastic. Tyler noticed it too, for he shot Trinity a confused look, which she returned with an almost sad shake of her head.The hold Samantha had over her husband was much too strong for her to even think of competing with. She was delusional if she ever for a second thought Dmitri felt anything for her. If he had, he wouldn't be feeling as guilty as he was right then, so much so that he was almost hesitant when doing something as simple as ho

It had been two weeks since Valéry had officially introduced her to the planning committee at their office and she'd started working with them for the fundraiser that was set to take place in six weeks. She'd only ever been to the office once the very first day with Valéry by her side. After that, she'd done most of the work from home, mostly because she hadn't felt the need to go the office yet. The team mailed her most of the documents that needed to be looked over and they talked over the phone often enough that the need to actually go sit at the office hadn't yet arisen. But today afternoon, a few of the art pieces they were going to put up for auction had arrived at the office and she wanted to have a look at them personally before the final deal was signed and the money transferred.So after a quick lunch, she quickly got ready. On her way out the door, she texted Dmitri on a whim to check if he'd had his lunch yet.T:- Hey! D

Trinity had been working diligently to get everything ready for the fundraiser in time for the past six weeks while managing her online classes at the same time which had gone remarkably well.The fundraiser had been a huge success through and through if there was anyone prouder than Trinity for pulling it was, it was Dmitri.Sure, all the planning and detailed discussions and brainstorming before finalising any decision had been exhausting, but she had truly enjoyed every bit of it. She'd learned a lot over the span of the past two months and even though it all had drained her so much that she fell directly into bed and fell asleep right away each night, it had all been worth it.What had been even harder and was becoming harder by the day though, was keeping her distance from Dmitri. Even though they'd both been busy, they'd still managed to have dinner and breakfast together for the most part

9 years later..."Nico! Come on, dinner is ready," Trinity called out to her son as she set the table.Dmitri had returned home in time for dinner as usual and was helping his wife set the table as they waited for their oldest child to join them so they could start dinner.When there was no response, Trinity turned to Nico's twin. "Nadia, go get your brother."Nadia, ever the obedient bright little girl, rushed off to do as her mother had asked of her."Mum, I'm hungry, can I eat now?" Maxim, their five year old asked, his lips pulled into an adorable little pout."In a minute, Max. Your brother will be here in a minute and then we'll all eat together. And what did I tell you about a family that eats together?""A family that eats together, stays together!" Max suddenly grinned, seemingly proud of himself for remembering what his mother

It was the third day when the police came to take Trinity's statement.She told them everything that had happened truthfully while Dmitri sat there right next to her, all the while holding her hand to show his support. She squeezed his fingers once she was done and the policemen left, promising to put the culprits behind the bars as soon as possible."Are you okay?" Dmitri asked her, pushing a strand of her hair away from her face as he rubbed soothing circles on the palm of her hand."I'm fine," Trinity whispered back. "I'm glad that that statement is out of the way. I hope they can catch those kidnappers soon.""They will, milaya. I'll make sure of it," Dmitri vowed, his expression grim."I just want this all to be over already," Trinity admitted softly.Dmitri stared down at her, his expression softening almost instantly. "Me

Screams echoed all around him but Dmitri couldn't decipher one voice from another, nor did he care to, as he jumped at Samantha on instinct so she couldn't fire the weapon anymore.She screamed as she fell and Dmitri wasted no time in snatching the gun from her and throwing it away.It took him a moment to realise that he'd jumped on top of a pregnant woman but the guilt vanished as quickly as it had come when he heard his wife's pained groan.He then quickly got up before running towards a bleeding Trinity, pressing his hands to the wound on her side to stop the bleeding. With his other hand he pulled out his phone and called 911."Hang on, tight, Milaya. I'll get you out of here," Dmitri said to her once he was done calling for the ambulance.The two kidnappers Samantha's had hired tried to make a run for it especially now that Samantha lay on the floor, sobbing hysterically with blood pooli

"You wanna go first, or should I?" The tattooed guy smirked at his companion, nodding his head at Trinity.His companion laughed, the scar running down the side of his face contracting, making him look almost maniacal. He probably was too if the way he stepped towards Trinity with an evil glint in his eyes was anything to go by.Tyler struggled harder against his reigns. "Don't you fucking dare touch her! I'll skin you alive if you touch a hair on her head!"Their kidnappers simply laughed at his useless attempts and baseless threats. Trinity, though, was oddly calm.She was waiting for either of them to open her bounds so she could grab the opportunity and try to get away from them. She planned on running upstairs and threatening Samantha so their kidnappers would let Tyler go. And then she'd call the police to come rescue them.It wasn't ex

Even though Trinity had expected the answer, she was still shocked."How? When?" She couldn't help but ask, thoroughly confused.Samantha chuckled. "That day at the club opening. I'd planned to drug you all and have my way with Dmitri. Unfortunately, I got too drunk along with you guys and it wasn't until I woke up that I realized it was Tyler I'd dragged into bed with me and not Dmitri. And it was his child I'd be carrying," her lips pulled into a thin line at the admission before pulling up into an all too evil smirk. "But nothing was going to stop me from getting what I wanted. So I decided to improvise. Pretended the child was Dmitri's and you fell for it right away."Trinity looked at her as if seeing her for the first time. And she was. She was finally seeing her for the two faced, conniving bitch that she was."Everything was going according to plan for you until I stepped

A piercing pain at the back of her head was the first thing Trinity registered as she came to, a groan leaving her lips almost involuntarily."Trinity? Trinity? Are you awake?" Came an urgent, frantic voice from somewhere close to her. In the back of her mind, Trinity knew who the voice belonged to, but in her half awake state, she couldn't quite put a finger on it.When Trinity didn't reply, the voice tried again, more urgent this time. "Trinity?! Are you alright? Wake up, please! Open your eyes! Talk to me!"Open my eyes? Trinity thought to herself. Opening her eyes seemed like the most difficult task she'd done in a while for her eyes felt heavier than lead, as if someone had glued them shut. She almost didn't want to try, but something at the back of her mind told her to listen to the urgent, nagging voice. So she did.She tried with all her might to peel her eyes open. She le

Trinity had been distracted with her jumbled up thoughts all the way back to their apartment.Casey, however, thought that Trinity looked so put out because of what she'd said to her in the parking lot. Which made her feel immensely guilty.So in an attempt to make things right, Casey began, "Tri? I was very rude and insensitive back there at the parking lot and-"Trinity cut her best friend off with a shake of her head, lightly patting Casey's injured leg which was lying in her lap as if telling her that it was okay. And it was. "No, Case. You were right about everything. And I needed to hear that. And I was thinking about what you said too. I think I should at least talk to Dmitri about it once," Trinity confessed."Really?!" Nigel, having obviously been listening in to their conversation exclaimed from the front seat, his lips pulling into a wide grin."Ah, fucking fi

Trinity wrapped an arm around Casey's back to support her as she pulled her best friend out of the car in the hospital's parking lot. Once Nigel had rounded the car and was standing next to Casey, supporting her, Trinity let go so she could lock the car."Ugh, stop mollycoddling me, you two. I can walk just fine on my own," Casey huffed, rolling her eyes.It was a few days after when Tyler had come to their apartment that Casey was due for a visit to the doctor to have a look at her still-in-a-cast leg. So here they were, in the hospital's parking lot, ready to go in."I hate to break it to you Case, but you can't. You can hardly put any weight on your leg, let alone walk," Nigel muttered, looking thoroughly amused as Casey huffed again, trying to balance her weight on her good leg.Suddenly, Casey pulled her shoulders back, looking awfully determined. And then she went ahead and put her weight on h

"Whoa, easy there," Dmitri muttered, holding onto the person he'd just crashed into on his way out of the office to his car."Oh, uh, hey," Samantha murmured, tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear almost shyly as she stepped back, her hand going to her slightly rounded stomach almost reflexively."Samantha?" Dmitri looked down at her, stepping back completely.Samantha gave him a small smile as she looked up at him, taking in his unshaven face and the bags under his eyes. Clearly, the split up hadn't been good for him."Yeah," Samantha muttered, nodding a little."Wow. You're pregnant," Dmitri observed. "Congratulations on that." He continued, trying to make conversation. He'd been so busy drowning himself in work ever since Trinity left that he'd hardly talked to anyone if it wasn't work related. So making conversation for the first time in so
