“Good morning, Sofia.” Sofia woke up and was a bit stunned to see Dion’s face beside her. Ah, it was the third day they were in Paris but she still couldn’t get used to sleeping on the same bed as him.
Dion and his family owned a few properties worldwide, including Paris. However, the one they had in there was a one-bedroom apartment.
It was spacious, but didn’t have that many rooms, which was the reason why they had to share it during their stay in there.
“Good morning, Dion.” Sofia removed the blanket and immediately got up. It was a bit awkward to lay in the same bed as him for so long.
They were husband and wife, but after the kiss they shared during their wedding ceremony, they never kissed or touched each other in a sexual manner.<

He checked in and the two of them headed to their room.The beautiful golden and white themed room which once belonged to the French royalty really made her feel special.The amount of details put in the room was absolutely insane. The wall on their bedroom was not paint, it was made of fabric with details of couple and hot air balloons. Same with the chair used in the room.It must have taken a lot to create such a beautiful and intricate space like that.For a moment, she forgot about all of her troubles and decided that she would spend the day having a good time with him.The palace has only opened its boutique hotel in 2021 so it was quite an experience to be able to stay there so soon.“Let

He parked his car in front of a comfortable sized house in Paris.He knocked on the door and a few moments later, the door opened to a familiar face. Pierced ear and lip, body full of tattoos and dyed black hair. This man still looked the same as he remembered.“Ajax, it has been a while.” Dion smiled to the man who had been waiting for his arrival.“Dion, you’re here. Come inside.” The man named Ajax invited him in and they headed to the living room where two other souls could be seen.One of them was the identical twin of the first man, but he had a completely different style. His skin was smooth, free from any tattoo and piercing but he was wearing a round glasses.The other party in the room was a drop dead g

"I miss you in ways that not even words can understand."-Gemma Troy-***“What are you doing?” Dion asked her as he saw her mapping out something on the table.“I did some research earlier and I found out that Christian had been recruited by Charmonet company which is owned by Layla’s Monet uncle, David Monet. I know the relationship between David and Layla is very close so she must have asked David to hire him.”It was the confirmation Sofia needed. These two had been together even when she was still in a relationship with Christian.Somehow, she was also certain that Layla had a play in her death.“I think I have to take revenge on two people now. How troublesome.” Sofia didn’t enjoy planning revenge on someone but she genuinely believed those who wronged her needed to be punished.Not just by the law, which at times could be unjust, but also with her

"Every new friend is a new adventure, the start of more memories."-Patrick Lindsay-***“I’m Gilda.” Sofia introduced herself. She had no idea that Lysandra actually knew her real name already and who she was. For Lysandra who already knew everything, it was kind of amusing in a way.“Do you come here often or is this your first visit?” Lysandra asked.“Oh, no, I have been here before but it’s my first time being here in a while.” Gilda replied. Somehow, the two of them ended up walking together and talked to each other as if they were old friends.“Thank you for recommending the perfume for me earlier. I think it’s going to be my new favorite.” Sofia thanked her.“No problem. By the way, do you want to exchange numbers? I like getting to know new people.” She pulled out her phone and gave her number to Sofia.Sofia had had

"Dogs are our link to paradise."-Milan Kundera-***Just like that, Sofia found herself having coffee with Jean Charme.It went a lot faster and easier than she thought. This man was a rational man from every angle, so she was a bit more cautious, but perhaps behind his rational façade, he had a soft spot for vulnerable young women.“How have you been coping with the Parisian life, mademoiselle?” He asked.“It has not been easy, especially since my husband still has to go back and forth between Athens and Paris, I am pretty much all alone here. Beside work, I don’t have much to do. The house is also empty and I often feel lonely at times.” She paused before continuing.“That’s why I have decided to get myself a pet. I adopted a corgi yesterday and after this, I am going to pick the corgi up and bring him home.” She told him.Hearing the statement,

They really bonded with each other,Having the puppy around definitely helped her to take her mind off things a little bit and eased her yearning for Dion a little bit.Ever since he left, she had been thinking of him so much especially right before she sleep.He had accompanied her for the past week and in that short amount of time, she was already used to sleeping with him.

He’s literally in another room. Come on, Sofia. I want you so much. Besides, we have hired private nannies for him.

He wanted them to change his charges from murder to murder attempt instead.Perhaps it might ease his sentence a bit and he could walk out of prison faster than the initial sentence considering that Sofia was still alive.“You must be having a guilty conscience, that’s why you think of her when you see other women with even the tiniest bit of resemblance.""I know what I saw. That woman was Sofia!""Sofia De Laurent
