Juliet
"Juliet dear are you alright ? You look like you just ran a marathon." My dad asked me worriedly. I gave a wryly smile. I could see Owen smirking at this. Ohh yeah he was enjoying every bit of this.
"I'm fine dad." I grit out.
As we stepped into the elevator, I couldn't help but think what had happened a few minutes ago. His tongue, his voice, especially the way he said my name.
Why does he still have an effect on me?
The more I thought about it, the more the anger consumed me. I don't like that he of all the people still has an effect on me. Grow some balls, woman! I felt claustrophobic in this tight space. I couldn't breathe.I needed to get out.
Suddenly I stiffen when I felt something hard against my butt. I didn't need to look back.
I knew exactly who it was.
The way my skin reacts to his body. I never felt it with any man. I have had a few share of men but that's was because so I could forget him.
Forget that he existed in this world.The days in campus was petty rough both painfully and beautifully.
I never did think of him after what happened.
I thought I never had to deal with him after a certain incident. I pushed back those memories so that I can lead a life without facing such fears.
A fear of falling for him.
We got out of the elevator and headed to the office. A young beautiful looking woman approached us.
"Owen, we have the number of Gasto Lebeis. You should come contact him now."
I didn't miss the way she was allowed to use his name and the way she looked at him knowingly.

Jesus.They were fucking each other.
I could tell. I'll like to tell her that he was mine to fuck.
What am I even saying? Where is this coming from? I cannot be envious of them fucking. Let them fuck. It shouldn't bother me.
As expected, Owen smirked at her and said,"I'll be right with you."
He turned towards us. I quickly pulled out my phone so that I looked I was busy.
"Excuse me."
I didn't even look at his direction. What an asshole. Old habits die hard, I guess. As he left, I couldn't help but feel hurt. What the hell ?
Why are you thinking about going through this shit again, you mad woman!
My life sucks. Officially.
Later at the office, in a large room with just a elongated table seated at the middle with a few stacks of paper scattered around the table.
We were talking about the investments when the two fuck birds showed up. Fuck birds ? Like love birds.
Too early they showed up didn't they ? They have been out doing probably... Why do you care Juliet ?
Shut up and concentrate. But even after the superb concentration, I couldn't help but notice how their clothes were crumbled and lips swollen. Well they sure couldn't keep it in their pants, could they?
Anger consumed in me again. I had anger issues. But not like this. I couldn't help but clench my jaws so hard I thought it would break my teeth !
"Juliet dear, what do you think ?"
I better work on what I'm supposed to be doing. So I explained the company's finances and their deals. I couldn't help but show off my knowledge. I'm good at what I do. My dad was pretty proud that I brushed this all up. I wasn't surprised when I saw their expressions.

Thinking of them, made me more angry.
Visualising them fucking each other's brains got me more over the top. I can't be in here in the same room with him still in his same old dirty ways. So I excused myself and let myself out to get some fresh air.
As I walking, I looked down and could feel tears swell in my eyes.
Why am I crying over that jerk?
Bloody ass is still the same. Fucked every girl he laid his eyes on. And to think I was one of them. Geez. How could I be so naive and stupid? Stop thinking too much Juliet.
I was so caught up in my thinking I didn't see where I was going and bumped into someone. Before I could feel the crash, I felt a hand around my waist. I couldn't help but let out a laugh. Why do I end up like this ?
"Hey. Are you alright?"
A voice said.
I looked up and saw a brown soft eyes looking down at me with concern.
"I'm fine. I'm not this clumsy. Sorry about that."
He smiled and said.
"It's okay. I'm Oliver by the way."
He looked like a very neat approachable looking guy. He was quite dashing. His glasses made him look like he was ready for a hot promo shoot.
"Nice to meet you. I'm-"
I was cut off by my dad. Not now! I'm meeting someone hot. Get lost dad.
"Juliet !"
My dad looked at his arm around my waist. He frowned.
"And who is this?"
My father demanded.
I rolled my eyes. Dad can be really overprotective.
"This is Oliver."
I noticed Owen walking out and looked directly at me and then looked at Oliver's arm around my waist. I forgot how Owen could get jealous real fast. His eyes blazed and he came straight for us.
"What are you doing here, Oliver?"
He hissed. So they know each other.
"Hey cuz! I thought I drop by to see if you are up for the game?"
Cousin. I had not known Owen had such a hottie of a cousin. I must have been staring at him when he said.
"I'm sorry you were saying, sugar ?"
I blushed at that. Owen's right eye twiched at our exchange.
"I'm Juliet. Thank you for the fall. I mean saving me from the fall." I replied winking at him.
"I'm grateful that you did." He winked back.
"Ok ! You know what I'll take up that game offer. Let's go ! " Owen said in a rush.
With that Owen took off with his cousin.
Hmm if I had known better he just didn't want me to speak to Oliver. Oh so he could have any girl and not me.
Not on my watch. I am not that girl like I was back then. There is a new woman in town, baby.
" Hey Oliver ! Can I join you to the game as well ?"
They both turned. One looking like he won a lottery. The other, well lets say he was not happy.
Game set match Owen.
I will make you realise the mistake you made 7 years ago. You wait baby.

8 93The Ruined Monks of Rothfield Monastery
Erin is the youngest member of the dark monks; a supernatural brotherhood whose ultimate mission is to improve the dire circumstances of poor, war-torn villages using powers unique to each member. Or so he was led to believe. Erin, like his brothers, does not age, and that is, unfortunately, the only trait he shares with them. He cannot charm or compel like Woodrow, he cannot cast illusions like Knox, he was not swift like Swithin, not powerful like Blake. He was barely an assistant to his dear brother Wilbur, with his herbology and alchemy. He was told to lie low and make himself scarce. That is what he did. The dark monks temporarily reside in abandoned monasteries scattered around the country, feeding the poor and healing the sick, nurturing the monastic lands until it was fertile enough to raise crops and rear animals. As the years passed, they would leave these reformed, repopulated, self-sustaining monasteries and venture froth to help the next settlement. Yet, after years of toiling and quiet servitude, Erin notices that people and the country itself are declining. The villagers look gaunt, the once-lush soil now barren and cracked. He begins to feel disheartened, thinking that their mission is proving futile. Still, their leader Blake is steadfast and charges onward, and lately has his eyes set on a certain monastery in a thick, thorned forest that seems to diminish, even nullify their powers. A thick forest that Erin somehow has a connection to. A thorned glade where an ethereal voice calls his name with one simple request along with a promise:Heal the land, child. Heal the land and I promise to give you sanctuary so long as you stay. I promise to nurture you as you nurture me. As Erin cultivates the land, the land, in turn, gifts all its caretakers with new, enhanced skillsets on top of their unique powers -- skills of protection, healing, and magic. Magic. Erin had long wished to see the world fill with it again. The people, regardless of common or noble blood, still believe that magic will enter this world again. Magic to bless the king like it did the Saints. Magic to dispel the miasma befouling the world. Magic to bring back the fae folk and their many forms. It is up to Erin to forge the many paths leading to a bright future; to build a prosperous paradise that welcomes all races and bloodlines, by mastering the rewards gained through agriculture, horticulture, and animal husbandry, smithing, crafting, and fishing. Erin may also find a lifelong friendship and romance with his neighbor, Claude, if he decides to pursue him, and may even join him in the military campaign outside the monastery. The darkness still lurks outside, after all, and the mastery of his skills, along with a few good friends, may finally be enough to turn the tide in their favor. Most of all, Erin wants to keep the vow he set for himself: to protect everyone and everything he loves until his dying breath.
