Love is just a word until someone comes along and gives it meaning. —Paulo Coelho— ????? I couldn't turn and look back to confirm my assumption but I just knew he was there. Surprisingly, the thought was making me nervous for an unknown reason. Butterflies fluttered my stomach, my hands went cold underneath the gloves, and my heart made a somersault inside my chest. I told myself to focus and enjoy the dance but I just couldn't. I was too distracted that I missed a step but Calix…

For it was not into my ear you whispered, but in my heart. It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul. ????? The next dance I had was with Skye He took my hand into his own and swayed me into the dance floor while the soft, subtle music played from the orchestra. The wondrous sound pleasantly filled my ears and I closed my eyes, allowing myself to get carried away. Just this moment I wanted to enjoy and be happy so I could add this night to one of the most memorable days of my…

The best love is the kind that awakens the soul; that makes us reach for more, that plants the fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds. That's what I hope to give you forever. –The Notebook– ???? My reservations flew out the window. I found myself moving to the rhythm of the orchestra, enjoying the slow movements of my feet while forgetting that everyone in the room existed. This night is mine, this is my moment.

I sat still in front of the dresser fidgeting with uncertainty. Claire had told me earlier when she happened to pass by my room that the guests started arriving. An hour had passed since then and more guests arrived and they will continue to increase until the party starts. It was the thought of facing different faces tonight which fills me with dread and discomfort. A soft sigh escaped from my lips. If only Ace was here, I wouldn't be so pressured because I have someone to lean on. I pushed the…

An hour later the conversation finally pulled into a stop and by that time everything concerning the Masquerade Party had been settled. Claire saw to it that even the tiniest detail had been discussed. She's determined to make the party a huge success and I witnessed how she's doing her best. I greatly appreciated her for that. Claire contentently ate her Lava cake. A mysterious glint playing upon her sapphire eyes. "I couldn't wait to see the outcome of our plans." It was Arriane, slowly rising from…

The Belle Boutique was a two story building painted in an elegant combination of silver and gold. The transparent glass windows gave a glimpse of the cozy interior of the place. The automatic sliding door, the red carpeted floor, and the painted cremé colored walls scream of luxury. Awestruck by the glamour surrounding the place, I slowly stepped inside, the hills of my stiletto sinking into the plush carpet. "Welcome to Belle Boutique." A soft female voice said in greeting. I tore my gaze away from…

Days passed by so quickly, like a subtle wind passing by that I lost track of the days only to be surprised after discovering that it's been two weeks weeks since Ace's successful operation. It's been two weeks since discovering that Ace and I weren't divorce which basically means I'm legally his wife and he…. My husband. There wasn't a day in my life I didn't think of him. He was like a shadow following me wherever I went. Even when I closed my eyes at night he was there telling me to wait until he…

Damm, I missed him so much, I realize as I gaze at the photograph in my hand. I pulled myself together and gently lowered the fragile object on the top of the carpet and wiped the tears on my cheeks with the back of my palms. 'Stop crying now. Ace would not want to see that tears in your eyes.' Said a part of my brain and instantly I stopped crying. Taking a deep breath, I resumed rummaging inside the box in search of other valuables until I came across with a thick sketchbook. With eyes wide,…

The dinner held in the spacious hall of Crawford Mansion was simple but very intimate. It was held in celebration of Elisa and Ethan's wedding and for their upcoming first son. Also, Ace's successful operation was included in the celebration. The long rectangular table draped with pristine white cloth stood at the center of the hall. Huge selection of mouth-watering food was spread on top of it. The chairs surrounding the long table were fully occupied. For the first time after more than a month of…

My heart beat uncontrollably, my pulse jittered, and beads of sweat form on my temples while listening to the disconcerting silence from the other line. I was so temse that I could fewl my legs shaking. Negative ideas raced through my thoughts, feeding the growing fear inside me. I'd never been so scared in my entire life the way I am now. No words will ever be able to describe the fear bubbling inside me as I waited for what Lucas has to say. My grip tightened on the telephone. Noticing how color…
