***
While Sofia returned to her apartment, Dion decided to visit an old friend. 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,

"If I had a single flower for every time I think about you, I could walk in my garden forever."-Claudia Adrienne Grandi-***“Oh my god, I miss her so much.” Dion murmured as he twirled the fountain pen in his hand. It has been almost three days since he arrived back in Athens.The first day, he was so busy with work that he didn’t really think much about Sofia.However, the second and third day was really difficult for him especially when he was back at his home at night.In the past month, Sofia had always welcomed him home whenever he was back from work.The only people he saw at home was his staff and none of them could make him feel as happy as being welcomed by Sofia.He didn’t think it was possible before, to miss someone this much only after a short separation. Yet, with each passing seconds, it was becoming more and more unbearable.He thought something must be

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 always put his car key in there and he had never forgotten it before.Earlier, he was sure he had inserted it there right before he left his office.Where could it be? He placed his bag on top of his car and tried searching for his key and still, he couldn’t find it anywhere.His heart felt like it was going to drop. It was getting late, he was hungry, tired and suddenly, he had to deal with this ridiculous thing.Upset, he slammed wall which turned his knuckles blue and purple. The man screamed in pain.

It was a bit unusual since she was usually not a movie person.Christian slowly walked toward her and hugged her from behind.“Baby, I found your car key and made a spare key in case something like this happens again. Your car is back and it’s per

Drucker-*** “Come on, we have not done it for three months since you need to recuperate, but I can’t hold it back anymore, Sofia. I need you.” Dion said as he started kissing her neck.“Dion, Astro is sleeping, he needs to be breastfed soon, what if we are too noisy and it wakes him up?” She asked.“You’re kidding. He’s literally in another room. Come on, Sofia. I want you so much. Besides, we have hired private nannies for him. If he’s hungry, they can just bottle fed him.” He reasoned before he started kissing her on the lips.Sofia felt a little odd since they had not done it for so long, but she eventually gave in and the two of them ended up doing it.However, just as they finished the first round and about to move on to the second round, there was a knock on the door.“Sir, sorry to disturb you but you have a guest.” It was one of the maid.

She couldn’t believe she was finally a mother. It was a role she was always looking forward to become.“Congratulations, it’s a boy.” She told her.

It was pretty wild. Sofia never imagined she would get so much love and positive reactions for her pregnancy.She understood if they were touched but their reactions were just above and beyond.It made her feel a little relieved because she knew when she gave birth, the baby would become one of the most loved person in the world.“Do you know the gender of the baby yet?” Ines asked her.“No, we’re going to check for it next week and do another checkup as well. Don’t worry, I will come to Paris next month and then we can meet.” She told them.“Okay, we are looking forward to it, stay he

Don’t you see it, ask the officer who was with me that day. The woman in black hair who visited me last time, she was Sofia De Laurent.”Christian was trying to explain it to the officer. Sofia was still alive, so he never ended up killing her. 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
