"A bride at her second marriage does not wear a veil, she wants to see what she is getting."
-Helen Rowland-
***
Dion and Sofia was preparing their wedding and although they were already legally married as husband and wife, they wanted to do something a bit more special.
A second wedding which would be attended by their family and friends. This wedding would be quite different from the one they had before.
This time it was also based on love and witnessed by other members of the family. They already had this planned before and it was finally coming true.
Sofia had her entire family flown to Athens just for this moment and Dion also had his family members attending. They were a little surprised to get the invitation but they still came to support him.
None of them questioned anything because they trusted his judgement and quite frankly they were all clueless about the Sofia situation.

"Babies are amazing. They begin each day all warm and sleepy and smelling of promises."-Julia Roberts-***“Push, just a little bit more, push!” Sofia had spent almost eight hours in the delivery room trying to deliver the baby and the baby was about to come up.After a hard push, she could feel the baby leaving her body and she could hear cries of the baby echoing throughout the room.Sofia felt like crying. 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. The doctor cleaned the baby up and handed him for Sofia to hold.The moment she held the boy in her arms, Sofia felt this deep connection with the baby and all the pain she felt in the past eight hours just disappeared.It was replaced by a strong sense of happiness and maternal instincts.“Hello, hands
"Long range planning does not deal with the future decisions, but with the future of present decisions."-Peter F. 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 wondered. Dion and
"Trust is earned, respect is given and loyalty is demonstrated. Betrayal of any one of those is to lose all three."-Ziad Abdelnour-***Sofia was laying down in a deckchair of the pool. The warm sun touched her rosy cheek and she had to put on her shade since it was getting brighter as the minutes passed by.“Here you go, a glass of cherry cocktail for you.” Her husband, Christian walked over to her and placed the drink on the table beside them. Sofia smiled and removed her sunglasses before turning to him.“Thank you so much, my love. You’re very attentive.” She complimented him as she took a sip of the drink. Christian smiled back at her and responded with a sweet voice.“Anything for you, my love.” He took her hand and kissed the back of it.“This evening, we’re going to the yacht ride. I can’t wait to have some alone time with you in the middle of the ocean, it’s going to be an amazing experience.” He kissed her and she chuckled.“Yes, I can’t wait for it as well. It’s going to b
"Objective reality, otherwise known as truth, matters."-Justin Raimondo-***As she fell to the ocean, Sofia could see Christian’s cold expression and at that moment, she realized everything she had known all along was nothing but a mere lie.It was the biggest form of betrayal she had ever experienced from anyone.Sofia was a sweet and vibrant woman who always tried to see the best in people, she had overlooked all of the signs within him. Tears fell down from her eyes right before she splashed into the ocean.“Am I going to die like this?” She asked herself. The pain on her shoulder was becoming overbearing. She was doing her best to reach the surface, but it was very difficult.Eventually, she lost all of her strength and slowly closed her eyes, feeling the darkness overwhelmed her.They said when someone was about to die from drowning, they would feel like their body’s pierced by a thousand ice cold needles.In the beginning, Sofia felt the same way as well. Until she suddenly fe
"When a sinister person means to be your enemy, they always start by trying to be your friend."-William Blake-***“Baby, are you okay?” Christian snapped out of his own thoughts and turned around to see Layla’s concerned face.The woman wrapped her arms around him and laid her head on his shoulder with a look of concern on her face.“Yes, I’m fine, baby. I just, I just couldn’t believe this is really happening.” He was still in a state of shock and disbelief himself after his action.He actually shot his wife and threw her to the ocean. For an entire day after he did that, he was panicking.When he got off the yacht, no one noticed her missing because he was very smooth about the way he handled it and no one heard the gunshot as well.No notice was made to the local authority as well until he had left Santorini.He received the news that they were searching for her everywhere, but after three days, she was nowhere to be found.It was a miracle for him to be able to fly back to Londo
"There is no need to suffer silently and there is no shame in seeking help."-Catherine Zeta Jones-***After almost an hour flight from Santorini to Athens, Sofia got off the airplane, walked out of the airport and went straight to find a taxi. She gave the driver an address and asked to be driven there. Her heart was beating really loudly.She couldn’t believe she was doing it for real. One might argue it would be easier for her to contact her parents and had them involved in her plan, but she knew those two. They were good lawful folks.Surely they wouldn’t agree with her plan and chose to bring Christian to jail instead. It would be too easy for him, she needed to do this so she could be satisfied at the end of the day.Almost half an hour later, she arrived in front of an old style mansion which she once visited when she was a child. She paid the driver and got out, walking toward the gate and started pressing the bell.She could hear a man’s voice in Greek but she didn’t underst
"It is impossible to unsign a contract, so do all your thinking before you sign."-Warren Buffet-***Dion was reading a book when he heard a knock. It was the maid who informed him that it was time for him to have dinner. He nodded and dismissed her.Since Sofia’s arrival in the place, he found it difficult to concentrate on anything because he kept on thinking about his decision earlier.It was time for him to meet her again and he needed to be firm about it.When he entered the dining room, he saw her with the lilac dress he assigned to her and she looked so much better after getting all cleaned and dressed up.It made her look less like a sad golden retriever and more like the charming angelic beauty that she was.“You look so much better.” He said as he took a seat right across her.“Thank you, now I feel somewhat like a human again.” She replied with a small s
"You have the power to change your beliefs about yourself. Your identity is not set in stone. You have a choice in every moment."-James Clear-***“You need to change your name temporarily. If you use the name Sofia, it will be easier for people to find out about who you are and it will get in the way of your revenge plan.” He advised Sofia.The thought has also crossed her mind before. She knew she needed to change her identity completely for this plan to succeed, she just didn’t know how she could do that without getting caught.“I know some people who can create new documents for you. New ID, licenses, passport, everything. All you need to do is to give me a new name and a new identity that you want to create and I can help you to fabricate your entire background and identity.” He told her.Sofia raised her brow. Just what kind of man was Dion, exactly?Why did he have these

"A woman's highest calling is to lead a man to his soul so as to unite him with the source. A man's highest calling is to protect woman so she is free to walk the earth unharmed."-Cherokee Proverb-***“I’m pregnant!” Sofia revealed the news to her parents through the phone and they were so surprised and happy at the same time.“We’re going to become grandparents!” They squealed from behind the screen. 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
"My heart is and always will be yours."-Jane Austen-***After spending a little over a week in Thailand, the couple headed back to Athens using first class. The flight felt quite short even though they had to transit and everything else.They arrived in Athens around the evening and headed straight back home.The only strength they had left was to take shower, eat dinner which they had previously bought on their way from there and then slept like a baby until the next day.Dion had to go straight to work so he left early in the morning while Sofia had a bit more time. 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
"Pregnancy is getting company inside one's skin."-Maggie Scarf-***The next morning, on their fourth day in Phuket, Sofia was experiencing a terrible morning sickness, unlike anything she ever experienced before in her life.The moment she woke up, she instantly felt nauseous and sprinted her way to the bathroom.She was throwing up like crazy but since she had not drunk or eaten anything yet that morning, nothing was coming out and she felt tortured.Dion who was asleep slowly opened his eyes and headed to the bathroom, worried that something might have happened to her.“Are you okay, my love?” He asked from outside as he knocked on the door. She locked it from the inside and he couldn’t check on her right on spot.“Yes, I’m fine, don’t worry about me.” She replied from the inside as she tried to gather herself together.At first she thought the sickn
"Heaven on earth is a choice you must make, not a place you must find."-Wayne Dyer-***The next morning, they started off their wonderful adventure in Phuket. The first thing they did was to see the most famous tourist attraction in the island, the Big Buddha statue seated on top of Nakkerd Hill.It was one of the few things she immediately recognized upon her arrival.Sofia wore a light, tropical blue and white sleeveless dress that really complimented the background. 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
"There's nothing more beautiful than the way the ocean refuses to stop kissing the shoreline, no matter how many times it's sent away."-Sarah Kay-***Dion and Sofia arrived in Phuket, Thailand for the first time. They arrived in the afternoon so the weather was a little bit hot.However, she didn't care because they were finally in paradise.It was like a dream for Sofia who has always wanted to visit the place. After years of dreaming, her desire to be there came true.The first thing they did as soon as they arrived was to head over to the resort he had booked.It was a luxury resort that he had previously booked for her. It was a private resort where they had their own private pool and access to a private beach.Private was the theme here.They would stay in that resort for a week or so. It was going to be quite an experience. When they arrived at the airport, they were picked u
"In history as in human life, regret does not bring back a lost moment and a thousand years will not recover something lost in a single hour."-Stefan Zweig-***“I am telling you, Sofia De Laurent is still alive! 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
