Stefani's POV
"Oh, it's just like that, it's over between us Stefani!" Christian started to walk away and I ran over him.
When he arrived at the car, I said to him:
"Christian, stop! I have to explain it."
"I don't want to see you and hear you, Stefani, stop it."
"No Christian, you cannot do this to me, I love you."
"Are you serious, Stefani? You cheated on me!"
"How do you know it? It was a mistake Christian."
"What are you talking about? I'm talking about that thing of you and Bradley together on your trailer. But you're talking about something other."
"Oh my god Christian, can we just go home and talk? I need to talk to you."
"No, that's enough! I'm leaving Stefani and don't try to call me. I passed here to tell you that I'm gonna leave for Germany. Now I have to go to the airport, I'll be back in 2 weeks and I'll pass home to take all of my things."
"I want to come with you. It's not over between us, I love you."
"No, I have to go Stefani. Stop it and return to your real love Bradley."
"I'm not in love with him, Christian, you know me, I'm not that type of person."
"I have to go to the airport." He said and he went away with his car. I returned inside and I went to my trailer, Bradley was still there and I said:
"Bradley, what have you done?"
"I'm so sorry, I came here to call you but when I saw you on the sofa, you were such an angel and I started to look at you and probably I fell asleep."

"Bradley, we've decided that we would have stayed only friends. You cannot look at me in that way and stay with me on the sofa."
"I can do it, there's something in me that says that I should stay with you, and I don't know Stefani what happens, but you make me feel in the right place."
"I love Christian Bradley, and now, everything is destroyed."
"Now we can stay together."
"No, you have a daughter and your fiancè and I have a fiancè even if he left."
"But I want..."
"Stop it, Brad. I only want you as a friend."
"We have to go to the other, we have a conference with the cast and tomorrow we start the shooting."
"I want to go home Bradley, I'm tired of this situation. Maybe the film is not the right thing to do, even if it's my dream."
"Stefani, if your dream is full obstacles, it is the right one."
"You are my obstacle Bradley, I had a boyfriend, my dream was coming true and then you arrived and now my boyfriend is gone, I'm not sure of what I feel and I'm not sure to do the film anymore."
"Oh, you've just said that you don't know what you feel. It means that you feel something for me, right?"
"Stop it, Bradley, let's go to the conference and let's start the shooting. Which scene we have to film?"
"Our first meet. Let's go and prepare yourself because you're gonna sing La vie en rose."
"Oh my god, Bradley, like our first meet."
I went on my trailer and I dress up my self, the make-up artists make me up and we started filming. When I sang "La vie en rose" and I look Bradley in his eyes, I feel something, but I don't know what. It was beautiful but I had to stay with Christian. I love him and I have hurt him so badly, he doesn't deserve me but I have to love him with all my self. When we finished, it was 8 pm and while I was trying to call a taxi, Bradley entered on my trailer and said to me:

"I'll pick you home Stefani, don't call a taxi."
"No Bradley, thank you so much but I have to take a taxi."
"No, you have to come with me, it's just a ride, don't worry"
"Mhm, okay but nothing more!"
I went up in his car and we sang all the time a lot of songs. We had so much fun together and I was happy. Suddenly we arrived at my home, and before I went out of the car, he looked at me and said:
"You're so beautiful."
"Stop it, stupid." And I started laughing.
"I can describe this moment, with a world: Mindfulness."
"Mindfulness? What do you mean Bradley?" I was speechless and I wasn't able to comprehend.
"You already know Stef, you can understand it by the way I look at you, I'm completely aware of what I feel, we have families and I have a daughter, but nothing will take me away from you. You are my Zweisamkeit, you know what I mean?"
I looked at him, he was smiling and it was the best smile in the entire world and I started to laugh. "I don't speak German Bradley, you know."
"This word describes the self-imposed isolation of a couple in love. Their togetherness creates a kind of loneliness around the two of them. And you, you are the only one who makes me feel like this. I can't let you go and I have to tell you, I love you Stefani, more than the word can say, more than anything, I'm in love with you from the first day I met you at your home, you were smiling with your blonde hair messed up, and when you started to sing, I saw heaven. I use this world, Mindfulness because I'm aware of my feeling from the first time."
He started to get closer to me and I said:
"Stop Bradley, we cannot do this, I have to go." I went up of the car and I entered my home, and once I sat on the sofa, I started to cry. My life is a mess, I love Christian but he went away. I was fulfilling my dream and Bradley ruined everything. I want just to sleep and to relax, then I'll think about the problems. While I was trying to sleep on my sofa, someone rang my doorbell, I opened and it was Bradley. He started to scream:
"Stefani you cannot do this to me, please, I love you, I opened my heart to you and you said anything. I just want to know, if you feel something, please."
"Bradley, damn, you're still here?"
"I'll stay here forever if it's necessary, it's a little bit cold outside, can I come in?"
"Yes, of course." We entered and I close the door. We sat on the sofa and I started to look at him, right in his eyes, we stayed in this way for almost 30 minutes. In the silence, we were only looking at each other eyes.

7780, or: Children of a White Rider
As one war ends, another begins. The year Fastidious: 7780 marks deteriorating relations between the Siralians, devout sailors of the Ordos Canticula, and the Ardalians, matchless fire mages ruling neverending farmlands. In the shadows, Ardalian rebels successfully unlock an ancient magical gate. Their desire? A soldier, immutable, unstoppable, and enslaved. Eli Stuart and his fiancee Patricia Secord find themselves thrown into a strange world. Trapped in a land of hostile magic and alien politics, the two of them must use their newfound powers to make alliances, stop their enemies, and ultimately reunite. However, something goes wrong. In this chaos, as the world begins to unravel in foul ways, something else stirs. Something else found its way through. Author's Note: I will update this story as often as I can. I am quite busy and write this during breaks at work. This is one of those goon-squad stories with a million characters, so "dizzying" might be a good way to describe the energy. Much of what builds up to the first arc happens in the first ten chapters, which are quite long. For that reason, if you have difficulty getting through the story, I understand, though things don't really start happening until Chapter 8-10.

"Everybody wants to rule the world... even if it's a destroyed one." Three great powers divide the known world. One of them is on track to offset this power balance as it seemingly undertakes the grand task of unifying the world. After 100 years of brutal economic, military, political, and even religious campaigns, the Republic of Dalreida has achieved a vast empire stretching from the Cargan Ports to the Aramathian Desert. May they be gods and goddesses, or princes and princesses, the rising republic has embarked on depriving nation upon nation of self-governance. In the midst of all these, Dalreida's primary personality, Lord Piso, has been serving as the republic's dictator for six years. Entering his seventh year in office, he shocked allies and enemies alike with a hazy calendar reform. Along with it is a pledge to pass on the reins of power after the so-called "longest term." Then again, to whom will it be passed? Or will it be passed down at all? With so much at stake during the "longest term," what does Piso's gamble entail for Dalreida and the world? Will it bring heaven on earth? Will all hell break loose instead? Or something else in between to purge the world of everything it ever had?
