Raphaela hesitated, her hand outstretched, Hera's front door just inches away. "Let me." Lorenzo made to knock but she stopped him. "I have to." She said. She knocked. "Raphaela?" Lorenzo called, seeing how stiff her back was. He touched her shoulder. A hand suddenly grabbed it. He flinched. Raphaela slowly turned to him. "My Lorenzo." She whispered in her feathery creepy tone, her smile creepy as well. He shivered, the cold coming back full blast. She entangled their fingers, her hands felt like ice. "I wanted to give you a wedding present and since you can't come to me, I had to come to you." "Hera." He greeted. She smiled, "you've made me so proud of you." His bones were freezing, her black orbs sucked him into a deep bottomless cold pit. "Ask what you wish, I'll grant it." His teeth chattered as he made to speak. "Raphaela wants Julien Hugo to be remembered." He answered. "And do you want that?" "I want whatever she wants." Hera cocked her head and studied him care

"Director Cicero, look at this. I found it in one of your mails." Director Cicero's secretary rushed over holding a big file. Cicero gestured that she place it on his desk as he was busy with something else on his computer.She did so. Because he never looked up at her even once, he didn't see the bewildered expression on her face and how she took one last glance at the large file before leaving his cramped office; cramped with files upon files and awards upon awards and several recording instruments. Severally he had been advised to clear out his office, even been offered help but he always refused saying he preferred it that way.After almost an hour, Director Cicero finally raised his head from his computer; he had on reading glasses; but he didn't reach for the file, instead he reached for his bottle of water. Minutes later, another file landed on it then another then another, by the end of the day, the secretary had unknowingly packed it with the other load of files and there it

Vince didn't know how Victoria ended up sitting with him but he sure as hell didn't like it.Almost throughout the entire dinner, he avoided her, chatting instead with others but after everyone had retired to their homes and he had sent off Choco and Valerie to Lydia's house, he couldn't avoid her any longer."Coward." She muttered again as they packed the dishes.It still stung him a bit when she called him that but she had said it so often, he was already used to it. He played the silent card, completely ignoring her. It only made her more angry and desperate. She endured for the duration they spent cleaning up but the second he stepped out the door, she was at his throat."Take one step and I'll make sure you never walk again." She glared at him.He halted, out of fear of her actually carrying out her threat and because he also really wanted to hear what she had to say."What in the name of the Moon goddess has you so uptight? Huh? You so much claim to be a man yet you can't handle

"And I thank you for selfishly saving me. I thank you because if not for you, I won't be alive to witness this day. And maybe you should have done something to help them, maybe you should have returned for them but you remember that you had two men to worry about, you remember that you were scared and terrified to leave me alone because you remembered the ordeal at the hospital and how I almost died because of your absence, you remember that you were outnumbered with the amount of soldiers my father had on his side, you remember that you had to stay alive because your life was what gave me life. And maybe it was selfish that you weren't ready to risk your life, that you weren't ready to go on what would have probably been a failed mission, maybe but it wasn't selfish that you risked your career and freedom to save Julien; it wasn't selfish that you were worried that a once good man would become damaged for your sake; it wasn't selfish that though you could have died, you ventured into

Vince followed his Alpha to the training ground, new found confidence and bravery in his veins but yet nervous. He kept rubbing his sweaty palms against his jersey pants. Lorenzo said nothing of it. His nervousness increased once they entered the training ground and he saw Victoria. She was coaching a few of the young kids."Join her." Came Lorenzo's order. He nervously obeyed.She ignored him throughout the entire two hours of practice, only engaging him when need be and after she zoomed off without any word. He followed her, catching her right in front of her house."Victoria." He called, holding unto her arm.He expected her to lash out at him or break his bones but she stayed calm, looking him in the eye."What?" Even her voice was chilling.He swallowed."Can we talk?" He asked, moving his hand down her arm to hold her hand gently. Her eyes followed the movement, narrowed."I'm listening." She replied, looking back at him.
