"Keren I am sorry for all that I said to you, and I am sorry for the manner in which I spoke to you; this is just one of the hardest, toughest, and most aching times of my life. It seems like I am gradually falling into depression. My world seems to be unclean and filled with smoke. Keren I need you to know that I am sorry, and this is from the depths of my heart. You don't deserve all that I said to you in there. My gestures, my manners, and my words don't deserve all of them. And I am very sorry. I hope you can find a place in your heart to forgive me.

Keren's eyes were already tearing. She held Vivian by the hand and moved closer to her.

"I forgive you, Vivian, and I will do that all over again and again if it ever happens. I know all that you are going through. It seems like there are so many voices in your head and so many forces fighting you. I totally understand your pain, and I want you to know that I will stand by you. I will swim a hundred and a thousand oceans for you. You'

    He gave her a loveable smile.After the meeting, everyone went to their rooms to pack up their luggage and get all their things ready for the trip tomorrow. When Irish and Darwin were packing up, he brought out the card and gave it to her. She wondered what it was, leaving an expression on her face."What is this? You're making me scared." She had no idea what it was; the card cover didn't even look like a love card; it actually made her scared of going through it."Read it, baby.""Oh okay". She slowly opened it and fixed her gaze on it. The first three lines she read left a smile on her face; she took a deep, relaxing sigh, seeing that it wasn't anything bad. The card says:"To the love of my life, never forget that I love you. Sometimes it's hard to find words to tell you how much you mean to me. I choose you, and I will choose you over and over again without pause or doubt. In my heart, I will keep choosing you. You will forever be in my heart and soul. I love you, baby.The expre

    His mind traveled back and forth, pondering what she said. He decided to ask her what she meant."Sugar. I don't understand what you are trying to say."Oh, I see why you kept quiet; you were trying to think of what I said. Actually, I was talking about Irish and Calvin's wedding."Oh, okay, that sounds interesting; tell me more."We have to do it immediately when we get back. In the next three months and two weeks, his break will be over; the same is true here with you. So he has to do it before the time he has left is over. Only Heaven knows when he's going to come back if he goes back to Germany without having his wedding done, and you know all those girls in Germany can't see someone as handsome as Calvin and just let him go; they will want to have a taste of what he got down there. I want him to go back with a ring on his ring finger so they will all know he's out of the store and now taken."Babe, you will never cease to amaze me; you are very funny. So, have you both spoken abo

    "Babe, please don't make us miss our flight.""Alright, baby, I won't make us miss our flight."He was done dressing himself up in the next fifteen minutes."Babe, I am done dressing up. I will go to the sitting room to see if Henry or anyone else is also done. Keren was still drawing her brown eye brow on her lips so she could apply her lip gloss to finish up her make-up."Okay, baby, I will soon be done so I can join you; babe, don't forget to carry your box to the sitting room, which is quite heavy."Okay".He took his box and went to the sitting room.Keren finished making herself up and stood up to get herself dressed.After dressing up, she looked at herself in the mirror. They said beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, but in Keren's case, it was different; she could see beauty reflecting on the mirror without anyone saying it to her. She was wearing her jewelry and saw her captive bead nose ring. "Should I wear it or not? But it will be so sexy with this make-up on," she said

    She had the same skin color as Keren's, and her body shape was also like Keren's. With her angelic, beauteous, alluring, bewitching, and appealing contentance, she walked up to him, although he was absentminded and didn't know she was actually standing there right beside him and talking to him—not until she tapped him. He jerked in shock; so many thoughts had run through his heart in the twinkling of an eye as he turned."Hello mister"."Hey""Am Mia""And I am Calvin.""Nice name you've got there.""Same here""Thank you""So have we met before? He asked.."No… I mean yes.".It was a lie they had never met before; she only said that because she likes him; seeing his physical body build made her think how sweet and how much he could ride her in bed. The thought left her biting her right lips, but she didn't let him notice it, so he doesn't get the message she's trying to pass."That's weird. So where and how did we meet, because I can't remember?."Umm, we met at the mall."."Are you

    She felt he had typed his number on her phone before he caught her, so she could link up with him later after he breaks up with Keren, and so she could have her way with him and even sleep with him.Keren was heartbroken; the only way she could express what she felt was to let tears flow down her eyes. No words, just tears as she walked out to get into the cab so they could arrive at the airport before their plane leaves them behind.Keren walked to the car with a heavy heart, and she almost fell down."Keren, please, it is not what you think. Please listen to me, please.".She did not look at him or even say a single word to him; she kept quiet till they got to the car and requested that they please let her sit in the front seat. All Keren needed was to be alone at that moment. It was a lot for her. She thought the universe was just against her, and it didn't want to ever see her smile or be happy. Her heart ached; it felt like it was going to pull out of its place and stop functioni

    "Don't say that Keren love is a beautiful thing. I understand what you are going through. Sometime in our lives, we just get to fall in love with the wrong people, and I don't know why that is. Good people are going to fall in love with the wrong and bad people, and when they've loved up, they end up being broken."And you know what makes it worse?". She said it with a calm voice, looking into his eyes with hurt all over her. "He cheats on you with a hoe!!!. "NOO!!!... Calvin didn't know when that word slipped out of his mouth.The driver partially turned back to see what was going on and why he shouted so loud. The driver was heedless, with no idea that all Keren said was because of Calvin and they were lovers'."Excuse me, sir, is everything okay?. Can I get you water?. I have a bottle of water right here.The only thing he could do at that moment was lie to the driver."There would be no need for that to be okay. I was just talking to a friend over the phone.

    "We successfully met ourselves at different corners of the hood to give them the cocaine and collect the money. After collecting the money, we were to give it to our boss, and he would then share it with us. It was a substantial amount, though. After the transaction between us and those guys who wanted to buy some, I didn't even know what happened that day. The only thing I saw was some of the guys being bursted, and some were held and handcuffed by the cops. I just didn't know how I managed to escape. While the policeman was coming close to me, he shouted, "Hands in the air." I turned to see if he had his gun in his hand before I could run. As soon as I saw he wasn't with it, I ran as fast as I could. Luckily for me, our transaction between us was already successful. I had collected the cash from him and given him the cocaine."Wow, you are so lucky, I must say."."Yeah, I am. I got to a corner and settled down so I could breathe in and out.

The policemen had to open fire on him and shoot him randomly till he died."So what happened to his boys?"."They all left him, of course. What did you expect them to do when the leader was no longer there? Guess who came back."Who"."The other guy left to make something good out of his life. He came looking all good; he had changed completely; he even went back to school to get his degrees done."Wow, that's a good one, I must say."Lukas got a little bit emotional, and his voice became low."I wish that was my case, but mine was the opposite. I mean, it's the opposite with the guys own due to the fact that my boss did not harass me, threaten me, or even come after my life. He let me go as soon as I told him, although he asked me if I was sure I wanted to leave and begged that I stay with him, but I couldn't. I had to leave. When I left, I started walking down the

How did you get this idea?“You see, grandpa, I am not the bad egg after all; I have been breaking my back working on something that would make you and dad proud.“I cannot wait to show Ethan this project; I am sure he will be so proud of you.Eli collected the documents from his grandfather’s hand; he did it in such a way that it showed that he was disgusted with what his grandfather said.“What? What is wrong? Do you want to yank your hand off? Why did you collect your document like that? Did I say something wrong?"Yes, grandfather, you do not even trust me enough; I did all of this myself and now you want to show Ethan for approval.“I wasn't going to show him for approval; I just wanted him to know what you were working on; surely he would be so excited too. “Why do you always do this, grandpa?

I thought you said she wouldn't be here!“I know Vivian, but Keren lives here; you both cannot be fighting forever; I need you both to settle your differences. “If not for the fact that we are sisters, I would have slapped you really hard! I do not have time for this nonsense! “But Vivian, Irish is right; you cannot be like this forever; you need to forgive me and let us move on.“You killed them! I will never forget that you made me a widow! I want nothing to do with you; excuse me, I am out of her.Vivian left the house, ignoring Irish and Keren, who were calling out her name. All the excitement on Keren’s face faded away. She fell to the couch and let out a loud sigh of relief. Irish sat beside her. They were both silent for a few minutes before Irish decided to break the silence.“You do not have to think too much about it; she will come around; she is still traumatised, and she told me she started therapy; she will come around soon."It has been years; I miss my best fri

    “Take me home. That was the last thing Ethan said before he was unconscious. Keren had to call for the help of the receptionist so they could carry Ethan to the car. By the time they got downstairs, the driver was already in his seat, waiting to move. They managed to put Ethan into the car, the receptionist went back to her work station and everyone was worried, wondering what was happening to their boss. They thought he fainted but the receptionist had to tell them that the boss was under a lot of stress and he needed rest. Ethan was in the back seat with Keren; he was sleeping deep. Keren couldn't get her eyes off him; she wished she could touch his hair so she could do that. Tears rolled down her face when she thought about her late fiance. She looked outside the window so no one would see her crying. Shortly after, they got to the mansion and Keren was left in amazement. She couldn't believe her eyes; she couldn't believe the edifice standing tall in front of her. When the driv

    Keren was so shy, she used to wish the ground would open and swallow her. Ethan was still fast asleep; he was oblivious that his grandfather was in the room. “You must be Keren, right?Keren tried to speak but she was stuttering and she struggled to compose herself."Yes, I am, sir.“Why is Ethan fast asleep by this time?“He is drunk, sir; he drank too much. “I see. Follow me.“Sir?“You heard me; follow me. Ethan’s grandfather left the room and Keren jumped off the bed and rushed to Ethan’s closet to wear something casual. She wore a white collar shirt and joggers. When she was done, she headed downstairs to meet Mr. Geftan. “Right on time, join me.Mr. Geftan poured Keren a glass of freshly pressed juice; he pressed it himself. It was a mixture of pineapple, watermelon and a little ginger. “This is so lovely, sir; I have never tasted a better fruit juice.“So tell me, what is it like working with Ethan?“I have no idea, sir.

Bal and his father left the park and Ethan watched how joyous they looked until they faded out of sight, he was truly happy for them… he was fulfilled when he saw the smile on their faces, and at that moment he was convinced that everything happened for a reason, if Eli had not crashed his car, he wouldn't have met Bal.

That car was badly damaged—damaged beyond repair!! “Stop stressing over material things; your insurance company can take care of the damages.“They would if I were the one driving the car, but I am not and Eli is moving around with an expired driver’s license!" He better stay in that coma, because I will send him back there if he comes back to this house! How dare he take my car without my permission!!! He left his luxurious cars and took mine. I am starting to think that he crashed my car on purpose. “ Don't be ridiculous. I understand you are upset but do you think Eli would risk his life just to crash your car and get back at you? You should be praying for his recovery, not this.“God forbid!! I better waste my time on important things than pray for that rebellious soul. Eli is a lost cause.“You are the older one, Ethan.

He was one step away from bringing Ethan down and he was very excited. He took out his phone and called Marcel.“Hello, where are you?“I am resting at my loudspeaker.“Meet me at the bar.“At the bar? By this time of the night? Isn't it late already?“I told you never to oppose me again; remember, I am paying for that room. I can kick you out anytime, so please do as I say or else I will throw you out.“I will be there in 20 minutes.“Be there in 15.“Eli ended the call and tossed his phone on the bed and he made his way to his closet to change into something casual for the night. He was humming a melodious song as he went to the bathroom to freshen up. After he was done, he took Ethan’s porch and left. He didn't want to drive his Ferrari, but he knew Ethan was going to have his head by morning, but he didn't care.“He got to the bar and ordered a
