The Dating App Disaster Chapter Twenty Four: What is it Like to be Accused of Murder
Deaths can change the way we see everything, because it is the grief that tears everything down about us. Our losses rearrange our world and the pain transports us to an entirely different universe and to an entirely different thinking.The old Chevalier was lying on the carpeted floor, with his eyes and mouth open, lifeless and seemingly not breathing anymore. He was surrounded by his own pool of blood that was coming from the massive gunshot wound on his chest that looked like it was directly shot onto his heart. Dionysus never knew that he could utterly feel his world crumbling down more than ever. What devastated him more was the fact that his grandfather's face looked like he had felt such tremendous pain before actually dying on the spot."Grandpa. ." Dionysus' voice quivered while his hands started trembling so badly.Dionysus' mind stopped processing anything right there and then. He froze on his spot and even though he wanted to crawl towards his grandfather, his body wasn't

An inspiring quote once said, 'when we think that all is really lost, when all is dire and just bleak, there is another hope rising again'. "I'm so worried here! Stop acting like a child for once! Your grandfather died and everyone thought it was you. But, there are still some people like me and Sebastian who believe in you. So, please. Please. Talk to us. ." Yet, even with that outburst from his wife, Dionysus still acted like insanity had consumed him. Zoey could only sob again. Sebastian sighed. "He's in shock, Zoey. The least we could do for him right now is to leave here and understand all of this little by little." Zoey's shoulders sagged. "How are we going to do that?" Zoey asked in a small voice after she had finally calmed down, before wiping her tears at the same time. "If you trust Dio, you should trust me as well. Do you trust him? Because all he has right now is us." Zoey looked back at Dionysus and her heart broke even more at the sight of her husband looking so lo

We all could presume that life is very much stronger than death, even though it cannot definitely stop death from transpiring. Yet, no matter how hard death tries, it cannot absolutely separate people from love. And, in the end, life is still stronger than death. "Here is the body, Attorney Alessandro. Shall I unzip the bag for you?" The doctor asked as soon as he placed the stainless metal trolley cart in front of Sebastian and Zoey where Hermes Chevalier's dead body was currently lying. The doctor got the dead body from the humongous mortuary fridges on the farthest corner Zoey wouldn't even think to come close.Zoey closed her eyes. She could feel all the hairs on her body rising in fear. She was just not used to seeing dead people's bodies let alone being inside a freaking mortuary where several dead bodies were kept for a while before being cremated or taken to a burial."No. I can do it. And, can I ask a favor? Could we see the body alone? You know, my assistant and I don't lik

Love and relationships combined are the most complicated. Because sometimes, a relationship can be destroyed by one, grandiose act or small, inconsequential acts that if being repeated can be very lethal to the love and trust founded beforehand. "The evidences that were all gathered against Mr. Chevalier was too great of a deal not to convict him as guilty to the murder. Then, this will probably be the first time you will lose a case to someone? Now, this is getting exciting."Sebastian's face turned deadly serious. Because what the prosecutor had just uttered somehow kind of managed to get on his nerves. Still, he tried to act cool and all professional. He also knew that several eyes were watching them from the two-way mirror. "Nah. I'm too arrogant to lose. So, just be ready, alright? Don't be a crybaby when I crush you on court." "Crush me on court? Are you joking? Because I don't think that will happen.""Are you two finished boasting now? I don't have all the time in the world
Last Updated : 2022-08-18The Dating App Disaster Chapter Twenty Eight: When a Woman Falls In Love
A woman can absolutely do anything for the man she loves. Because when she fell in love, she fell in love deeply, fiercely and irrevocably. Zoey thought that she had been dismissed because the automated voice was turned off and no one had opened the humongous gate for her. She waited for almost five minutes and was about to give up when suddenly, a housemaid opened the small gate beside her.Zoey thought she was going to be ushered inside but Dionysus' mother was already in front of her, eyebrows furrowing and arms being crossed on her chest. "So, you are the murderer's secretary? How dare you come here and talk about papa? Isn't it enough that your boss killed him in the most gruesome way!"Zoey was so taken aback. Now, she fully understood why the bloody hell Hermes Chevalier told her that Dionysus' parents never became a proper model for him and how his parents affected his way of thinking about the real concept of love. "Dionysus didn't kill Mr. Hermes, madame. He wouldn't do tha

Funny how others would say that 'hearts are really meant to be broken for it to be finally wise the next time around'. Even if that is true, nobody still doesn't deserve to get her heart shattered in the most painful way possible. "Zoey Veera Lavigne, you've been ignoring my calls and texts since yesterday. Do you honestly believe that I didn't watch the news involving your boss, Dionysus Chevalier?" Mrs. Zenaida Lavigne's voice was calm, but Zoey knew better. Her mother was obviously scolding Zoey from the other line because Mrs. Lavigne mentioned her whole name in a monotonic tone. Zoey massaged her temples because she doesn't need to be screamed at like that right now. It was the least she wanted and needed from her own mother. "Zoey! It's me! I know Dionysus wouldn't do that, right? I knew it. Please, tell me he didn't do it?" All of a sudden, it was Zamantha's voice turn to rattle the bloody hell out of Zoey's distressed mind. Zoey sighed as she inhaled a deep breath. The fres
Last Updated : 2022-08-20The Dating App Disaster Chapter Thirty: What Really Matters The Most
A quote we should all know about is, 'the love of a family is life's greatest blessing'. A tear fell from Zoey's eyes. Dionysus' words were like a sharp knife cutting through her heart, again and again. Dionysus never even wavers to look directly at Zoey's eyes just to show her that he really meant every single word he had said and that he utterly wanted Zoey to digest it all at once and never forget all of it at all. Sebastian sighed because of the scene being played in front of him but he unequivocally knew that he doesn't have any right to intervene in that kind of situation. "So, that's it, then?" Zoey asked with so much disbelief and pain in her voice. "That's how you decide to fucking push me away? Why? Perhaps, you realize you suddenly don't want me anymore?" Zoey's almond eyes kept tearing up, but she promised to herself that that would be the last time she would do that for Dionysus. "Who said I want you anyways? I don't even like you in the first place." By then, lots o

A real love letter can come in many forms, as long as the message is delivered and as long as the recipient understands the utterly dazzling, passionate message behind."For the first time in history, I'm so disappointed in you, Dio. I'm really, really disappointed." Sebastian angrily vented out to Dionysus in a calm voice. He went back to the precinct again after Zoey left. He just had to or his mind would explode. "And, what happened to your face? The general director said you had initiated a fight right after me and Zoey left? A brawl, Dio. Isn't that right?" Dionysus sighed and felt the bruise on his left eye sting a little. "I just don't want her to be in danger as well, Seb. Grandpa's killer is still on the loose. Who knows he or she might kill Zoey as well. And, damn it. We are powerless against him or her because we still don't know who it was. So, to prevent that, I must push Zoey away no matter what. I'm doing this for her own sake. She's better off without me. And, about t

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. "I don't think I can play along with your lover's quarrel, Dionysus. I have surgery to perform fifteen minutes from now." "Did you hear that, baby? So, come on. Tel
The Dating App Disaster Chapter Eighty Three: When She Finally Remembered
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
The Dating App Disaster Chapter Eighty Two: A Wife Being Jealous of Herself
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
The Dating App Disaster Chapter Eighty One: Becoming the Boss' Secretary Again
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
The Dating App Disaster Chapter Eighty: Her Forgotten Memories
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!" Zamantha star
The Dating App Disaster Chapter Seventy Nine: The Forgotten Husband
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
The Dating App Disaster Chapter Seventy Seven: Someone Sent by God Above
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
The Dating App Disaster Chapter Seventy Six: Really Destined For Each Other
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
