They say, 'there is unequivocally no shame in being hungry for another person. Because, desire is simply the very nature of the universe itself. And, in desire to happen, it should start with a sparkling tension. The kind of tension anyone would burn instantly if they come closer and closer'.

"Bloody hell! Why do you look like that?" Dionysus exclaimed after seeing Zoey walk inside their room drenched in dripping water right after he had finished buttoning up his suit. He gulped and averted his eyes because he could definitely see Zoey's brassiere and a little bit of her cleavage through her wet shirt. Suddenly, Dionysus felt thirsty, very, very thirsty.

"The pipe under your kitchen sink was broken. Your grandpa wanted to call the plumber but I insisted on fixing it myself. I have a license for it, remember?" Zoey smiled but Dionysus' body started to burn again. His breathing became uneven. "Hey. What's wrong with your face? It's so red."

Zoey was about to touch Dionysus' face but

    Knowing a person is like listening to good music. Because, what attracts us to them is their most unique melody. And, as we get to know who they are, we also get to learn their most enticing lyrics. Amanda dropped a pile of folders and documents as tall as a human in front of Zoey. "This is sir Dio's schedule for the next thirty days. And, this is for the next month and the month after that. It also contains his schedule that varies each day of the week. So, you have to memorize not only the scheds, but also what time they will be held, where, how, why and why not." Then, another folder.

    They say, 'jealousy is when you want something that is not truly yours to begin with. Because, where there is no jealousy, there is no true love at all'. In the blink of an eye, Zoey fell on the floor behind her after hearing her full name be hollered like that. But, instead of being scared of Dionysus' tone, her alluring almond, hazel eyes sparkled before she got up and ran towards Dionysus. "Ohh, my god! You're here! Finally! I have to tell you something! Kyaah!" Then, Zoey squealed like a teenage girl."What? What is it? And, hey. Don't change the topic! Why are you dancing like that inside my god-damned office! The blinds are open! Someone might see you from somewhere.""But, we're on the eighteenth floor. And, it's still early." "And, so? Do you call that an excuse?" Dionysus loosened up his tie because he suddenly felt thirsty again. He strutted towards Zoey's desk and turned off the disturbing music with subtle inviting lyrics himself. "Go get me some water. Quickly."But in

    Let love simply bloom more, even with rejection sometimes. Because when it surges back, it would be impossible to be stopped again. Zoey halted from her steps when she saw a silhouette opening the fridge after she stepped inside the kitchen. She got thirsty in the middle of the night so she wanted something to drink somehow. "Hello? Dio, is that you?" Zoey turned on the lights and there was her husband, looking for something while his back was bent over. Zoey averted her gaze for a while because damn. Dionysus' back looked so manly on her eyes. "I just wanted to make you some milk. I promised to do that for you nights ago, remember?" Zoey strutted towards Dionysus, leaned towards the countertop, hugged herself and watched him prepare a glass and a carton of fresh milk. "Do you want it warm or what?""Warm." Zoey breathily said. "Right. Yeah, I remembered." Zoey blew a deep breath. She can feel it, the tension. The tension between her and Dionysus ever since their lunch from that r

    As your feelings for someone grow stronger than ever, so will your fear of losing them as well. The colorful lights, the noise of the different arcade machines and the non stop chattering everywhere made Dionysus' patience to gradually start tearing apart bit by bit. But, it cannot be seen on his handsome face at all. "I know that trait of yours very well, Apollo. This is why I didn't dare to bring all of my men at all."Apollo smirked. "Really? Is that so?" Then, Apollo looked at Sebastian who only rolled his eyes at Dionysus' half older brother. "Or, you just thought that you and your sidekick with an ugly scar on his face would be able to seize my army and my wits just like that?""I'm smarter than you. Don't try disrupting the truth." "But, it's true, brother." Dionysus sighed in sheer anxiety. It's been over an hour since he left the mansion. He was so anxious to think that Zoey might have woken up in the middle of the night and found out that he was gone before he could come b

    They say, 'suspicion is the greatest enemy of love, whether it is true or not. Because there is always some madness in love and whether we like it or not'. Sebastian was about to let go of the rope on his hands, but the third man shouted as well, with his resentful eyes looking at Dionysus' direction. "You think you're so mighty, Dionysus Chevalier! Think again!""What are you doing? We should be begging at him!" The second man intervened."No! Let him kill us or our real boss will execute us instead!" The first man stole the spotlight as well. The third man grinned like a devil, only a hideous one. "You heard that? We know so much more about you than you can imagine! And, one thing is for sure! We don't really work for Apollo Montgomery! Because we work for someone else! And, that someone is aiming to inject misery on you sooner than you expected! That someone is planning to kill the most precious person in your life! So, be ready!" Dionysus snatched the rope from Sebastian's hand

    The irony of love is that when love comes knocking on our door, we tend to be scared because we know nothing about it. That's why we push people away, when in fact, in reality, deep inside us, we want them to be pulled closer to us more and more and just never let go. Zoey stood up and left Dionysus in the guestroom, still with the little puppy in her arms. "Zoey, wait. Let me explain. Hey. Witch!" Dionysus followed his wife but Zoey went straight to the mansion's elevator. They walked past the old Chevalier who was with his head nurse having some tea on the veranda but both Zoey and Dionysus didn't get to see them."What's happening, Chrissy? Looks like they're having a lover's quarrel." Mr. Hermes asked in amusement. The head nurse giggled and nodded her head. "I think it's kind of normal, sir Hermes. Don't they look so cute? Ever since sir Dio met miss Zoey, he had gotten more alive and energetic. They seemed so in love." "Well, that lovely little girl surely had brought colors

    A little bit of jealousy even in a relationship is quite dazzling. Because, everyone would say that it's sometimes nice to know that someone is so afraid of losing you."Can't we just talk about this when we get home? I just want to focus my mind on seeing my family again. Please?""Coward." Zoey clenched her jaw but still tried to understand Dionysus. "It's alright. You can think that way. It's better to be a coward than to be hurt in the end. I had realized long ago that someone like me won't be able to find that one true love everybody fancied about.""Fuck this shit." Zoey was surprised because when she looked at Dionysus again, her husband was silently crying but he was so fast to wipe it all out while his eyes were still fixated on the road. "Ohh, my god, Mr. Chevalier. Are you crying?" Zoey looked like she couldn't believe what she was witnessing right now. Who would've thought that she could make the most ruthless C.E.O. cry for her just because of his feelings she doesn't w

Even when Sebastian, Zamantha and Miss Zenaida Olivia Lavigne helped each other to get the drunk Zara away from Dionysus, Zoey was still in trance like her whole world had stopped.Right there and then, Zoey finally understood what Dionysus had felt when her husband thought she really fell for Apollo's charm. She wanted to shout at her sister and tell everyone that everything about Dionysus belongs to her, and to her alone. And, no one, even her sister, could take him away from her. However, instead of doing all of that, Zoey looked at her mother and sister and smiled a bitter one. She tried her hardest to stifle her cries so her lips slightly quivered. "I suddenly remembered I still have something to do, mom, Zam. I'll just come back next time. And, I'll call later." Then, Zoey faced Dionysu

    All's well that ends well. A knock on the door made Zoey and Dionysus move away from embracing each other. Dionysus wiped Zoey's cheeks gently and smiled. "I love you." Zoey beamed widely. "I love you, too." Zoey hit her husband's shoulders. "But, I hate you, too." Dionysus' forehead creased. "Why, baby? Did I do something wrong?" Shawn and Sebastian materialized beside Dionysus. "I have the results of her tests, Dionysus. And, I want to. ." Dionysus held his hand up in the air to stop Dr. Sprouse for the time being. "What is it, baby? Come on. Tell me." Zoey frowned and looked at the two gentlemen standing on the side. "I. . I forgot, Dio. Just don't mind me." Dionysus smirked. "Then, no one's moving and going away until you tell me why the bloody hell you hate me?" Dr. Sprouse looked down at his wristwatch.

    Against all odds and against all obstacles, when two people are meant to be together, they will unequivocally make it to the end. "Mr. Chevalier. Should I order something for dinner?" Zoey asked because it was already past seven in the evening and they were still at the office, working. It has been over a week ever since Zoey had known the truth, that she was indeed Dionysus Zephyr Chevalier's wife. But, she hasn't confronted nor asked anyone about it.She wanted to recollect all of her memories first before anything else. So far, some memories had resurfaced to her like the one from the elevators but not all of it. Zoey wanted to remember everything, detail by detail. So, Zoey continued pretending for a whole week that she still doesn't know what her real relationship with her boss is. So, does Dionysus. Her boss continued treating her as a mere secretary as well."Ohh, damn. I didn't realize it was so late already. I have so much work to do." Dionysus closed his eyes, massaged his

    There are three things that cannot be hidden for so long. The sun, the moon and the truth. Zoey kept glancing back at Dionysus. She had been sitting on her new desk but her new boss won't give her anything to do. It was her first day so she expected some things to be a little hectic.Dionysus could utterly feel his wife's lingering gaze over him. But, he tried to ignore it all because he might do something shocking to Zoey. He had missed Zoey so much and all he fancied to do right now was to hug her, snuggle close to her body and shower her kisses.Yet, he can't do all those things because Zoey might have another panic attack. And, that was the last thing he wanted to happen. Dionysus was just pretending to type something on his laptops because he didn't really program himself to work on that particular Saturday."Mr. Chevalier?" Dionysus felt his heartbeat had gone much louder inside his chest after hearing Zoey's soft voice. He didn't realize that his wife was already standing in f

    And, at the end, she still found her way back to him. "Breaking news: Cronus Chevalier and Gaia Chevalier were found kneeling in front of the New York Police Department early this morning. The Chevalier couple whose chain of businesses went bankrupt more than a year ago confessed to a horrendous crime involving the murder of one of the richest tycoon in New York, Hermes Chevalier. Cronus and Gaia Chevalier told the police that it was them who ordered someone to kill the old Chevalier and frame their own son for their own crimes. Several evidences about their confession to the murder were also sent to all the computers of every police of the N.Y.P.D. When asked about who was the assassin they had ordered to kill Hermes Chevalier, the couple only said that they had already killed him."Dionysus was watching the news in the comfort of his own bed, still wanting to sleep some more but the news had him all awakened. Sebastian and his men had already done their job. Flashback, more than t

    We all know that God's plan is always the best even though sometimes, the whole process was very painful and hard to endure. A painful tear fell from Dionysus' eyes. He tried moving an inch towards Zoey but Zoey's screams intensified more. "No! No! Don't come near me! No!" Dionysus' voice broke. Never in his wildest dreams did he imagine that Zoey would look at him the very same way she was looking at him at that jiffy. "Baby. . it's me. Please. I missed you so much." "No! No! Mommy! He's going to hurt me!" Zoey was uncontrollable."Why won't I hurt you, Zoey? I'm your husband. I love you so much." "Argh!" Zoey screamed at the top of her lungs, Zara and Zamantha were too shocked to react on the corner. Mrs. Zenaida Lavigne cannot even hold her own daughter in place anymore. Zoey kept trashing the pillows behind her and even throwing one to Dionysus' direction. Dionysus looked so hurt even though the pillow thrown was just soft and actually weighs nothing. "Go away!"

    Our brain is the body's most complex organ. Because even if we do own it, it still has the absolute power to control what will happen next in our lives. Dionysus and some of Apollo's men had helped each other to uplift the stretcher containing the unconscious body of Zoey into the humongous military helicopter. Afterwards, Apollo faced Zamantha and Mrs. Zenaida Lavigne. "You can both come with us here. The helicopter is large enough for all of us." Zamantha and Mrs. Zenaida Lavigne nodded without hesitation even though both of them weren't actually sure who the bloody hell was Apollo. No one was still introducing him to them. Apollo even offered his hands to Zamantha and Mrs. Zenaida Lavigne to help them climb the stairs of the military helicopter.Afterwards, Apollo turned to Dionysus and smirked at him. "You owe me for this one, little brother." "Then, Zoey has to live first." Dionysus clenched his jaw and climbed the helicopter next. While Apollo hopped inside the seat beside th

    They say that everything happens for a reason. Because without these small tests, we won't be much stronger than ever before. Something was wrong that bright morning, Zoey thought. She was back in Illinois after spending the whole day with Dionysus yesterday. They had so much fun exploring islands after islands that were surprisingly owned by her husband himself. Before the night came, her mother called and told her to come home already.And, now that she was back, she was slightly expecting some kind of surprise from her little sister, Zamantha, and from her mother, who always does that for that particular day of the year, her birthday. "Hera?" Even her little puppy wasn't sleeping beside her on the bed.Zoey looked around and thought that Zamantha might have come inside her room while she was sleeping to get Hera and make her baby girl play with Azlan. With that thought, Zoey jumped down from the bed and decided to get ready for the day. "Who knows? Mom and Zam must be waiting for

    When two people are meant for each other, no time is too long, no distance is too far and nothing can keep them apart.One blink, and Zoey was back to present time. She was no longer inside her own bubble of her flashback dated twenty three years ago. She found herself still imprisoned inside Dionysus' arms. She couldn't believe it. She looked at Dionysus with her wide, shocked eyes. "Hey. Do you remember it now, baby?" "How. ." Was all Zoey could utter back. She couldn't grasp the reality that something like that happened to her back then. How on earth did she forget about it? "Remember when I told you that the first time we met again after all these years, when you bumped into me that day on your final interview for my secretarial position? I instantly recognized you back then. That's why I told you I immediately knew right there and then that you were the one for me. Because I had wished to see you again. I wished so hard, baby. I didn't marry anyone because I was waiting for you

    We don’t get over or move on from our trauma. We are forced to make space for it. We carry it. We learn to live with it. And, sometimes, we thrive in spite of it."She shamelessly did that in front of me and the little girl, without thinking of the consequences. I felt like the whole world stopped at that moment. I was fucking traumatized. If I was feeling that way, how much more for the little girl?" Zoey moved away from her husband to see his face. Zoey saw the undeniable misery radiating through Dionysus' eyes. It was like what he was telling her was long buried deep down his heart, wanting for so long to be heard by someone, so it can be finally free from him. Dionysus painfully closed his eyes, not desiring for Zoey to see the lurking darkness in his eyes. It could also literally ruin Zoey's bright and positive outlook in life. In the end, Dionysus doesn't want that to happen. But, Zoey cupped his face and made him look at her, determined for him to continue. "Go on, Dio. You c
