Shameless

JULIEN Julien ignores the protest of his father’s secretary when he barges into Armand Benoit’s Office. He was indeed in a meeting. The stern frown that spreads along Armand’s lips does nothing to curb the fury surging through Julien’s veins.“Julien, I’m in a meeting,” Armand announces as he eyes his son and attempts to plaster a smile across his face. He manages a grimace.Julien struts to a plush white chair and takes a seat, his eyes glaring daggers at Armand.“I’m sure cutting it short won’t be a major inconvenience,” he drawls.The businessman seated in front of Armand gazes at the pair with his eyes widened. He clears his throat.” I can come back another time,” he murmured, already rising to his feet.Once the door closed behind the associate, in three steps Julien was standing in front of his father’s table, hands gripping the mahogany tightly.“I don't have time for your antics, Son,” Armand rasps as his gaze settles on the monitor beside him, he begins to type.Julien’s kn

Precisely my point

“Raphael is alive,” Armand mutters as he looks Julien square in the eye. Julien’s eyes widened as he processed his Father's words When was the last time he heard that name?His gaze traveled through Armand’s facial features for any tell-tale sign of the game he was playing. As their eyes met, he saw nothing but stark sincerity with a hint of fear.“That is impossible Father.” He finally uttered. Although, he could hardly believe his own words.“He escaped the fire, narrowly, he was in shock for months a lot of intensive care was administered.”Julien’s throat went dry, as he spoke, he barely recognized his voice. It sounded raw and gravelly.“So you’re telling me that for eleven years you Raphael?“Precisely my point,” Armand rasped but didn’t meet his eyes.Julien thought of a hundred words he could use to describe his Father, Armand was debased, Selfish and manipulative. However, with this revelation he wasn’t sure any of them would suffice.He clenched his fists and gritted his tee

That's Hope

“We have to stop him Elsida,” Anne sobs, breaking the stark silence in the bedroom.Elsida’s head remains bowed as she focuses her gaze on the marble tiles, “We can’t stop him, Anne. There’s no way.”Elsida’s voice comes out even, all traces of nerves dissipated and replaced with a hollowness so deep in her stomach. She had accepted their fate, death seemed more appealing as she pondered over it.No more pain.No more nightmares.Anne let out a heavy sigh, “Look behind your seat Elsida.”Elsida’s head snapped up and she wrinkled her nose as her gaze focused on Anne.”What are you talking about?”“Just turn your head Elsida,” Anne said, her voice coming out rushed.Sighing reluctantly, Elsida twisted her head. She was starting to think Natasha had lost it until her gaze collided with metal.Perched precariously close to the edge of a mahogany drawer was a pair of scissors. If she leaned in just enough, she would be able to grasp onto it.“That's Hope Elsida,” Anne rasped as her eyes sho

Disparaging thoughts

In a fleeting second, he’s on his knees. He cradles her limp body in his hands desperately as he starts to sob.“You’re not supposed to die, Anne, it was meant to be her,” he murmurs with one hand placed firmly against her skull.“Raph I..” Anne sputters as blood rushes past her mouth. “I love you… save my Father please,” she says with one last pleading look at him before her body goes still.“No!” Raphael bellows as he shakes her limp body.“Do something Elsida, don't just stand there.” he sobs as his eyes bore holes into her skull.Elsida remains stiff as she takes in the bloody scene.

He’s perched casually against the green couch, and his long legs are splayed in front of him.Her gaze travels from his Bruno Magli shoes to his all-black suit and rests on top of the disheveled mess crowning his hair. Her gaze moves to his eyes and for the first time in years, his emotions are on full display.“Elsida,” he rasps as their gazes collide. His azure eyes shine with hurt and relief as they penetrate her green voids.“What are you doing here Julien?” she manages to utter as she takes a tentative step to close the gap between them.“I'm here to see you El,” he rasps, his voice clear as day as his gaze flicks back and forth between her eyes.“Why?” she mumbles as her gaze shifts to the green couch.Julien rises to his feet and closes the gap between them with a step in her direction. His index finger tips her chin up so she has no choice bu

Gratitude

His jaw ticked and his gaze flicked between Elsida’s as though he was searching for a lie.“I'm going to need more details Elsida because believe it or not this is very difficult for me to wrap my head around,” he drawled sharply.Elsida felt the sting of his words in her gut and her gaze wandered to the couch. “It happened the first time we had sex, eleven years ago.”Julien’s jaw hardens and his gaze becomes unreadable.
