"Love is like war. Easy to begin, hard to stop, impossible to forget". -H.L Mencken.

In occasions, life makes us go through the same infernal karma over and over again. This is a consequence of a cyclic event that we haven't been able to give closure, until we cut the weed from its roots. Or else, it will keep popping out to remind us how miserable our lives have become because of our bad choices...

━Hello there, Dante! We meet again -an intimidating voice says, with a mocking tone.

I don't need to turn around to know who was that. The loathsome voice is unforgettable. And yet, I end up doing it just to see our sentinel. I want him to notice I'm not afraid of facing him, so my eyes are stabbed instinctively upon Laurent's lascivious look to defy him.

I thought I would also find the bad vibe of one of his goons, but to my surprise, this time a stunning woman was with him.

She has long hair that reaches her voluptuous buttocks. It's evident her voluminous body is a close friend of the surgical knife, which has taken care of sculpting a silhouette in shape of an "S", so perfectly detailed it looks fake in just a simple view. Her white and smooth skin remind me all those porcelain dolls. To top it off, the Botox in her lips and her dark brown eyes, decorated with enormous eyelashes, just show the lust to the maximum in her.

Amazed by this two-faced couple, I realize Ethan's face is immersed in a strange mix of feelings, like anger, snub, disappointment and frustration.

His teeth start screeching, and his fulminating look sends them a big warning that threatens them with killing them right in that moment if they make just a simple mistake.

Ethan stands up automatically to give me his hand and put me right behind him.

Laurent, who doesn't waste time in bothering us, starts mocking us by looking at us from head to toes, with that characteristic wicked and sick laugh.

━Come on, Dante! Are you not going to say hello to me? -he says among laughs- Don't tell me that you're angry with me after that little affection gesture I left in your shoulder? -he makes a fake gesture of sadness.

Theres not any doubt the cynicism of this man has no limits, so Ethan doesn't waste any time to answer him.

━What do you want, Laurent? A peaceful retirement between both of our gangs? Or do you want a hole in the head, along with your boys? It's your choice -Ethan roars with a defying look.

━I can't believe it! I come in peace to thank you for the great favor you did to me, by introducing me this incredible doll... And you treat me this bad? -he inquires as he takes her companion by her waist as a gesture of dominance and belonging- Are you not going to say hello to your dear Crystal? I've been taking care of her very well, as you can see -he says while licking the girl's cheek.

What a repulsive scene!

Looking at that kind of obscene gestures in a couple has always been vomit-worthy to me. Besides, seeing her enjoying it apparently, makes me think that this woman is another scumbag of the same level as Laurent, or even lower.

They are the perfect example of that famous proverb "God raises them and the devil puts them together".

━Hello, Crystal -says Ethan with not so much enthusiasm.

━Hey there, handsome -she says with an opposite tone to Ethan- Your voice is so evasive that it breaks my heart. Have you forgotten all of those good moments we spent together? -she exclaims with a wicked smile while exposing her bad intentions. She releases Laurent to approach us, and end up stabbing her look on me to detail everything from head to toes- Don't tell me you've changed me for that simple girl who pretends not to have broken a single dish -she says as she laughs out loud.
