-Jessica Simpson-
***
When Sofia was younger, like most girls her age, she was somewhat a hopeless romantic and the subject of her child-like love was none other than a man called Jacques Alarie.
He was tall, with dirty blonde hair, blue eyes and round glasses which made him appear as smart as he actually was.
He was in the same class as her for three years in a row during high school. The man was polite, well mannered and an overall pleasant person to be around with.
One thing about Sofia, she had never been attracted to bad boys since she was young so she always preferred the calm, slightly nerdy guys.
He used to be more nerdy than sporty so he would spend his time at the library, either studying or working on some side research he was doing.
Naturally, Sofia was drawn to him and since they were in the same class almost all the ti

"The pain of parting is nothing to the joy of meeting again."-Charles Dickens-***“I’m sorry, but I have a husband and I don’t think he will be happy with me exchanging number with a stranger I’ve just met.” She reasoned.Jacques was not expecting that sort of rejection form a woman who looked like a splitting image of his first love. At the same he realized he might be asking for too much and quickly apologized.“I’m sorry, I had no idea you are married already. I understand. But I will give you my number anyway. If you ever need any help with anything. I’m willing to do it for you.”He wrote down his number on a piece of paper and slip it in her bag.“I wish you a pleasant evening, mademoiselle.” With that, he left. Sofia stood there on her own, watching him walk away from her for the second time.There was a little bit of pain in he

"A man who contemplates revenge keeps his wound green."-Francis Bacon-***Christian went to work that morning feeling tired. He didn’t know why but recently he had been feeling a lot of fatigue, not quite sure what caused it.Perhaps he still wasn’t used to the way of life in Paris. It was certainly more sunny and bright than London, but he always felt a bit off in there.He headed to his desk and turned on his computer, thinking to continue working on a program he did when he quickly realized something was off with his computer.All the data related to the program he was working on was deleted. It was as if someone had hacked his computer and purposely deleted his data.“No way, this can’t be happening.” He tried to do a few things with his computer, trying to find anything, a backup, anything but everything has been deleted.“Someone is clearly toying with me.

She was thinking of getting herself some dessert when Dion called her.“Are you free tonight?” He asked as he held her hand and guided her to take a seat beside him. Once Sofia was seated, she answered.“Well yes, I don’t have anything planned at the moment. Why?”“I’m going to have dinner with my friends tonight and I am thinking of taking you with me.” Sofia was a little confused because they were in Paris.If anything, it should be her introducing him to her friends. She didn’t think Dion would be having any friends who’s not business related to him in Paris.“Okay, let’s go.” She rose from her seat to grab her dessert and then started getting ready for the din

"A gentleman is someone who does not what he wants to do, but what he should do."-Haruki Murakami-***Sofia had been giving Dion the silent treatment for the whole night.Whenever he asked her something, she would reply shortly, showing her disinterest and clearly showing that she was still upset for what happened.Dion never dealt with a woman’s anger before. He was not quite sure what to do.In the past, they would always try to be on their best behavior to capture his attention and gained his affection. He never had to deal with something like this before.“What is it that you want from me?” He tried asking her right before bed, but she was not answering. Instead, she pulled the blanket and covered her entire face and body with it.For some reason, Dion felt like he had messed up. Even though he had a good intention to protect her. He felt like his action had created some kind of

"When you are a threat you will always be the target."-Unknown-***Christian went back to the house with a defeated expression. Layla who saw him looking like he had lost a fight approached him.“What’s wrong?” She asked. Christian wondered if he should tell her about what happened.Though he believed Layla loved him, he was not sure she was going to take the news well considering what happened between the two of them last time.“Christian, you already know I hate liars. Just tell me the truth, what’s wrong?” She repeated the question. Christian found it difficult to lie to the woman he loved. In the end, he admitted the truth.“I almost got fired today. There was this project I have been working on for almost a month but somehow, the file disappeared today. I tried everything I could to retrieve it back, but I couldn’t.”Layla removed her hand fr

Dion who was seated in the sofa behind her smiled as well.“Are you happy now, my love?” He asked. Sofia turned to see Dion and nodded.“For the time being, yes, but you already know this is not enough. I am planning to keep closer eyes on these two for the next week or so, see if there is anything else I can do to destroy them.” She replied.Dion rose from his seat and approached her. He looked at her with a certain meaningful gaze and then gently placed his hand on her cheek.“Don’t be too worked up, my love. We can handle this one step at a time.” H

Layla thought she was definitely making this man attached to her and smirked victoriously.“Sometime soon, I will let you know when I’m available, in the meantime, think of me when you go to bed at night.” She grabbed her bag and headed outside, leaving him on his own.She headed back home and the moment she arrived, she could see some of their belongings being put in boxes by Christian.

She thought he would bring her somewhere new and exciting, turned out it was just there.Though there were some differences, of course.They had been there once before, but it was during the day.This time, he brought her out in the evening when the sky had turned dark and from where they were seated, they could see the view of the Eiffel tower lighting up at night.“You have been a little too stressed out lately, I thought I should bring you to your favorite place.” He pulled the chair for her and she sat down.“Would you go for the

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

She stayed home and decided to spend her day unpacking everything and organizing they bought from the trip.It was quite an experience, to find out that she was pregnant during her trip was one of the moment she would never forget.The two of them agreed to have their first hospital checkup in three days and during that time, Dion promi

As the owner of a fashion company, she needed to make sure she was alwasy looking stylish."Come on, let's go here." She dragged him around to the perfect photographic spot.They were holding each other’s hand the whole time and Sofia made sure that he was taking a lot of pictures of her in front of the Buddha statue because she wanted to cherish this moment forever.“Make sure you are getting my good angle.” It was o

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
