Here To Work, Not Play“All I’m going to tell you ladies is that when I got to Paris, I felt relieved and very much inspired. But I didn’t invite Mr. Tony because I’m going to be working with a new client. And I always find new inspiration when I take on new clients, and I don’t need to be distracted.”“We see you have a new loo,” Addie says, smiling.Tizzy, with her chocolate brown skin and hazel eyes, stood out against the backdrop of her long hair, which was now pin-straight. It framed her slender face and striking features with a polished sophistication that momentarily silenced the room. “What happened to your curls? Them being gone has something to do with this new inspiration?” Dynasty asked as everyone thought the same thing.“Nope. My curls met a straightening iron.” Tizzy said, laughing as everyone sighed agitatedly at her sarcasm.“I like your new look, but I like the curls, too,” Skylar says.“I’m tired of the curls. They make me look like a five-year-old.” “Not to me the

Alone In My ThoughtsOnce inside my apartment, I took a refreshing shower. The warm water rejuvenated my senses. My heart raced as I reminded myself that time was passing by so fast—I had only two days left to delve into the depths of Beverly's Journal. So, I prepared a quick dinner, sat at the dining room table, and began to read. Beverly hung her head, fighting back the tears. Percy quietly turns back around.Beverly looked up into the rearview, seeing Percy's worried expression. Then, she sighs, wiping the creases of her eyes, "I just got a call from an American lawyer who is representing my friend Lynette DuBois, telling me that she and her husband have left their child to me in their Will. A child, Percy!""What!?" Percy replied, surprisingly."Lynette has often told me how selfish and pathetic her siblings had been in the past."Though Beverly's life had recently become emotionally disruptive and hectic, she thought of Nettie and how kind she had been to her over the years. She

Reality Set InIn the days that followed, I grappled with an overwhelming sense of being unwanted and unloved. Each moment transformed into a struggle, as I fought to keep my emotions at bay. Beneath the surface, bitterness and anger simmered, threatening to engulf me. I carried deep-seated resentment towards those who entered my life after my parents' passing, their presence a constant reminder of my loss. These emotions, rooted in the innocence of my youth, weighed heavily on my heart, a painful contrast to the carefree days I once shared with Beverly. I had tried so hard to suppress and bury my past, and the question lingered: Why, Beverly, do you want me to relive all this pain and turmoil? It feels as though the wounds of my past are being reopened, and I struggle to understand the purpose behind it.I’m so full of disturbing thoughts that I had to drag myself out of bed, seeking a drink to soothe my frayed nerves. I was weary of self-pity, and the tears had long dried up. With

A Thirst For PainTossing and turning into the night isn't fun anymore. It's been going on far too long, and I can feel myself slipping into the darkness. I have been up all night, delving into a world I had long forgotten—a dark and empty world. I can’t sleep, and there is no stopping the tumultuous feelings that swell in me. I tell myself not to let one tear drop from under my closed lids. Images of what I went through back then, and how scared and alone I felt, were so vivid, it was as if I was reliving the memories all over again. My family's faces are so clear in my head, and how they treated me like I was nothing. How could they oppress a child, as if I weren’t their flesh and blood? Sharp pain enters my already weak body. But I became so filled with rage that I didn’t care. I turn my face into my pillow, beating my fist against the mattress as I cry silently, uncontrollable sobs shake my entire body. It’s only later, much later, that I fall asleep again. Sunlight slants acros

Paris, France: January - New YearI saw him in my dreams again. He entered my bedroom door, and I sat up quickly as we stared at each other silently. My blood begins to boil inside my body instantly. I looked for something to pick up and strike him with. The only things in my grasp were my night lamp and alarm clock. He slowly approached me, and I wondered if I would be quick enough to reach for the lamp.I waited for him to get closer to avoid missing my aim. "Can we talk?" He asked.Sheppard's voice only made me want to end his existence so he would never speak to me again. "Yes, come and let us talk," I said seductively.Sheppard sat on my bed, and before I knew it, my hand was gripped around the lamp's base. I began beating him with the lamp, each blow with a blunt force. Again, I hit him across the face and head!I could hear him pleading to stop, but I didn't. So, instead, I relentlessly hit him until I couldn't hear his voice speak any longer. That's when my eyes opened.The

Soak And WetI stood by the window, captivated by the trees swaying gracefully in the brisk wind, their vibrant green leaves twirling and fluttering like colorful confetti caught in an enthusiastic dance. I set my heart on filling my home with fresh air, eager to immerse myself in the joy of preparing a sumptuous meal just for me this weekend. As the soft afternoon light began its slow descent, casting a golden hue over everything, I remained blissfully ignorant of the thick, dark clouds gathering ominously on the horizon, transforming the once-blue sky into a heavy, brooding gray, signaling an impending storm I had yet to foresee.Absorbed in a gripping novel, I scarcely noticed the gentle hum of the television from the kitchen, where the tantalizing notes of a simmering sauce filled the air. "Beverly's story is becoming irresistible," I thought, reluctantly tearing my gaze from the pages of my book. I strolled over to the stove, where the rich savory aroma of garlic, tomatoes, and he

Understanding Men: To my beautiful daughter, Dynasty, I don’t mean to bore you with many words. But we have always been two good communicators, and I hope you feel the same way. I hope and pray that you do feel the same way, even though this form of communication is new for us.I smile…Oh, Beverly, I know you want me to respond. It’s not just a rhetorical question. So I paused, almost becoming teary-eyed. No, Beverly, I’m not bored. I have felt so many emotions, but most of all, I have been enlightened, and my eyes have been opened. I have looked forward to our talks in this manner because you are not here physically in the flesh, but I know through your words in this journal that you are here speaking to me.Dynasty, you have been the most extraordinary child a mother could wish for.

The Dark Prince:My mind is a whirlwind of activity, a natural consequence of my profession. I find my eyes perpetually scanning the crowd, attentive to every hand gesture and flicker of body language, always aware of potential exits. With an eagle-eyed focus, I absorb the vibrant tapestry of my surroundings, filing away details in my expansive memory. Yet, amidst all this observation, one sight caught my attention: the grand staircase, alive with movement. Guests flowed down the ornate steps, laughter intertwining seamlessly with the upbeat melodies from the live band, creating a palpable energy in the air.I'm particularly adept at reading people; it's a skill I've honed despite the intricate nuances of human behavior. Being on American soil ignited the instincts from my Special Ops training, making keen observation essential. I had to remain inconspicuous while I surveyed the scene, so I took a casual sip of my drink, flashing a disarming smile at the extravagantly dressed people w

"Chicago! Ha, ha! This city is bursting with glamour, excitement, and energy tonight!" Seungchan exclaimed excitedly, peering out the window, his eyes full of spark and curiosity as we drove through the lively streets. Admittedly, I felt the energy, but I kept my cool. I nodded my head in agreement with his remarks. The night was alive with energy, filled with the sounds of music spewing from all the fancy nightclubs and the laughter of people on the street. Walking about all dressed in elegant clothing, no doubt heading to various parties to bring in the new year. I watched them mingling and enjoying themselves against all the skyscraper buildings and stunning city lights. The guys had all the windows down in our stylish black limousine, which was filled with the smells of delicious food. We came to a smooth stop in front of an impressive 5-star luxury hotel, its exterior shining like a jewel in the center of the city."Wow! Just look at this luxury! Your boss must be doing incredib

Dynasty (POV)Glancing at the beautifully designed clock on my wall, I felt an excitement wave over me, like fireworks lighting the night sky. Only a few hours remained until I would attend the much-awaited Gala—an event everyone had been buzzing about for weeks. Holding my iPad tightly, I could almost hear my friend's encouraging words echoing in my mind. Beverly, my dear mother, an experienced Gala-goer, always knew how to boost my confidence and excitement for such occasions. The memory of her words sparked a fire of anticipation for the fun that lay ahead.Taking a deep breath, I pulled myself out of my cozy bed, my heart racing excitedly. Walking to the bathroom, I removed my comfy t-shirt and light underwear, enjoying freedom. I carefully placed curlers under a bright polka-dotted shower cap, treating my hair as I prepared for a refreshing shower.Searching through a lovely wicker basket filled with fragrant soaps and fancy lotions, I picked out my favorite body wash.

Pov - Mr. ChoiThe aircraft gently descended through the clouds, a subtle shift in its movement signaling our approach to the destination. Victor and Greg, still lost in the tranquility of sleep, were oblivious to the awakening world around them. The rest of us, however, were stirring, shaking off the remnants of sleep as O'Hare International Airport came into view, a vibrant cityscape teeming with life."Wow! I'm actually in America!" one of the guys exclaimed, his eyes ablaze with excitement. A collective sigh of relief swept over us, a tangible sign that the arduous 15-hour journey, marked by turbulence that jolted our bodies, was finally over. Thank goodness we were in first class. I can only imagine what we would have had to endure being six feet tall and sitting in those cramped seats. It would have certainly tested our endurance, but the plane ride here was finally behind us. Daeseung, a ball of energy, leaned eagerly towards Victor and Greg."Hey, wake up! We've arrived!" he in

AnticipationThe following morning, I stirred from sleep at precisely 7 a.m., a vibrant glow of excitement still coursing through me from the unforgettable day spent with Ms. Tiffany Grand. She had transformed my transition into an extraordinary journey, and I could hardly contain my exuberance. As I stretched, I felt rejuvenated and invigorated by a newfound sense of sensuality and self-assurance.
