Kimberly couldn't shake the thoughts of him as the day passed it became clear that she wasn't the only one who was confused with the incident happened few days ago. She remembered the look in eyes full of confusion, worry, anger, but not of guilt?
"Why weren't you guilty, Troy?" She questioned it was all a blurred from his names to the blonde haired young girl storming in her as if she came to collected her precious possession and claiming him as her Fiancé to the gray haired older man who was on the mission to take Troy away from her.
Well, they all succeeded because Troy is gone and so is Brett. Kimberly was still astounded on how well Monica has taken such circumstances with such grace unlike her who was filled with constant rage, devastation, and puzzlement.
She climbed off the bed and went downstairs to get a glass of water and that has been her routine from that horrific day because of sleepless nights. Monica has found her in the same spot every now and then she was glad that she wasn't going through it alone.
Maybe, Monica was still in contact with Brett that which made it easier for her to process such chaotic situation. While Kimberly was still having a difficult times with and the fifty voicemails by Troy after she demanded everyone to leave her home didn't help either.
Her pride wouldn't allowed her to call him back so quickly with everything left unresolved. Furthermore, she was confused and horrified about what went on.
What she needed was time.
Kimberly heard Monica's footsteps meeting her in the kitchen, "Can't sleep, either?"
She shake her head.
They both sat down enjoying each other silence it's seems necessary with what they are going through Monica poured herself a glass of water and drank in one swift.
"...The moment I trust a guy, it goes to shit," Kim stated then quickly prayed due to her profanity which she hasn't done in years, "excuse me, Jesus." She didn't know whether to cry or laugh her because her emotions were all over the place. "What did I do to deserve this?"
Monica chuckled at her silliness usually she was the jokester of the house. But lately Kim has took that mantle to make light of the situation so she can cry less. It seemed to help them when their house was too quiet due to the absence of the two men.
She then tightly hugged her in all seriousness, "I know it may not make sense right now, but someday it will."
"You think so?" Kimberly asked unable to shake the doubts that surrounded her mind. She felt like a fool. A fool in love, sure, still a fool. Cupid should be impressed she went with her heart this time instead of her head. Even though she got the same the result at least this time she let down her guards down for anyone than her father.
It took a lot of convincing from Monica and herself to do it. But she did it and it felt good while things were good now it's just hurts like hell.
Monica nodded. "Yeah, you deserve the best kind of love. I know sometimes you doubt that it will happen but it's near, Kim. Don't lose faith. You have given love to others without expecting anything in return, You stayed focus on God and your purpose. I know God got you covered, you're next, sis."
Kim let the tears fall down her face because she was tired of holding it in, "I hope you're right because I'm gonna have to dial 777 and to talk to the big man. If I go through this again. Because I can't, okay. I don't have no more tears left to cry!" She jokingly pointed out which made them laugh into laughter something that they haven't done in a while.

Dimitrius returned to the land he swore to never be once more, home. He looks around and noticed that none much has changed especially his father interference in his private life. He was still filled with rage about what had occurred in another land. Where his heart belonged and the future he'd planned for them and now all of it was left unknown due to his father's meddling.
But he had a plan even though it will take time for it to come into fruition. He knew being patient was necessary to regained the trust of his love and all that he has lost from this catastrophe.

He settled in without the help of Marcus who insisted to do so because that is occupation as a chauffeur and aid, however, Dimitri knew he was destined for more. Because Marcus had shown his loyalty and determination months ago so he had other plans for him. It was about time for it to come to pass.
Moreover, it's something that can benefit them in more ways than one. Dimitri remained seated and lost in his thoughts as he proceed to brainstorm his plans but was out of focus when he spotted his trusted man.
Marcus came back nervously to check in with his boss. Dimitri was a bit disappointed that Marcus was back speaking formal with him and the their friendship that they'd build back in the states seems to be have been erased.
He chuckled, "You can come in, Marcus"
"I'm sorry, sir. I should have known— Marcus apologized for the millionth times he somehow blamed himself for everything. They went back formally as Dimitri and Marcus since their identity has been found out.
Dimitri adds on, "it's alright, Marcus. My father is a determined man so am I and our fate was sealed, the moment we left this land. I knew the risk. He would have founded us, eventually."
Marcus seemed more relax with the reassurance of his employer. He also noticed the soft smile that formed in his face.
"It was worth the risk, no?" Dimitri spoke as his smile illustrated who was on his mind.
Marcus nodded with an image of certain woman of his own.
It was indeed.
They now had to prove it to the women who had captured their hearts once again.
