AUTHOR'S NOTE

I do not pretend to offer a rosy novel that ends in ''they lived happily ever after and had many children'' or one of those books to make you lose time, but simply a story where you can get your own conclusions. There's something for everyone: life is so right, it will hide these simple truths. The latter leaves much to discover, but it is up to us to show wisdom and intelligence to make these lessons, life principles, our allies for a healthy and fulfilling life.

There are hidden things between the lines that follow when you read them, make use of your brain, asking questions about why and how things make parallel on around you, see this book as an opening about experiences and life.

First I want to thank my sweet beloved princess Nancy L... Without her, this book would not have been possible. She was always there to encourage me and give me ideas. I also want to show gratitude to all those and all those who directly or indirectly inspired me to the story, friends and friends who have supported me, encouraged the creation of this book.

I want to compliment an unique and special way all those and all those who helped me in the pre-reading, correction and suggestions on the manuscript.

WARNING

This novel was inspired by several real-life experiences, which are, perhaps, happened in the past or in the future. For those who are wondering is this a true story? I do not think I need to tell you all about it. You are free to make yourself your own conclusions to guess if it's true or not. I would just add that there is much of it that comes out of reality.

However, my hope is that readers are older than 13 years, or more mature, but I know that despite all that I could say or do to put in place, this book may unfortunately fall into unwanted hands, so you will understand the reason for what will follow. There are some scenes that are very explicit, I tried somehow to reduce the content just to avoid creating certain forms of thought and in other cases I totally ignored too imaged developments.

I have done to mitigate the explicit side but for the understanding of some parts of the book, some details were necessary to the narrative of events. So I think you have been warned. For those who are sensitive natures, I know it takes all sorts to make a world, despite lower explosive descriptions could be offended, I beg a thousand pardons already. I think I have a right to your indulgence.

CHAPTER I

Often we think to find elsewhere that is most of the time not too far away. What is most important in this life is to know what you want, be prepared to make the necessary effort to get there. I read in a book that many people carefully plan their shopping at the corner store but left to the whims of chance and others the planning their lives.

I will explain how I, Maxime, came to make a discovery and wisdom that assured me a peace of mind in the affairs of the heart. Success does not cover a single aspect of life, but all facets. Thus, we can succeed admirably in finance, but have a miserable couple life, one can be very successful in his work, but never have a minimum of peace and energy resources. In short, success in life and especially successful life.

LOVE IS SO FAR AWAY... UNDER OUR NOSE!

I love you, I want to live with you, said Julia.

You say you love me but how do you love me, woman?Added Maxime.

But I have no explanation to give to you, Julia replied, You cannot think that I do not feel anything for you.

I have no doubt about that, but the question I ask myself is: what type of love you say you love me, woman? Asked Maxime.

I do not understand you, what do you mean by that?Julia interjected.

You say you love me, but you do not have a problem to drag your ass over here and over there? That doesn't bother to you not to listen to me and do exactly what is in your head? This poses no problem to you to cheat me with everyone? I want you to tell me how do you love me, woman? You're a selfish! You only think about your little person! Exclaimed Maxime.

But I've changed! I do not think as I used before, you did not look at me like all the other guys look. You gave me confidence, you looked at me as a person, a different being. Men look at me as conquest, mistress, an object of pleasure. You've seen me like no one has ever seen me, you taught me to make sense of my life, my words, my actions, my thoughts, my choices in life. You gave me a delicious taste in my life. I also cannot deny that you are the most wonderful lovers it was given me to know, you charmed me and have a way of doing that any woman can never remain indifferent. When I'm around you, I feel like a woman. Declared Julia.

'That's a pretty flattering statement that a woman of easy virtue like you can tell a modest man like me,' I thought. But that is not what is really not the time!'

You say you've changed, but I do not want to be part of your life, never, Female replied Maxime.

You condemn me to live without you, continue to never find a guy like you, you push me to live like a zombie waiting for you, she announced in a tone of sadness, So since I cannot have you to myself then Carla will not benefit. There will be no wedding!

As for joining the words to action? She rushed to her bag that was on the ground to pull out a weapon, a Colt 38. She pointed it to my direction.

'My survival instinct told me to put the legs on my neck and flee because this unstable psycho would gladly pass me to infinitive! Can a crazy be reason with? But if I panicked, I will certainly die her'

How? Who told you that we were going to get married earlier than planned? What you have in your hand?... My God... A weapon!

' I was facing a woman who said to love me, who made me lived of all the persecutions and sufferings. Now She had turned into a sadistic vengeful torturer' Thought Maxime.

CHAPTER II

'Sometimes, we would like to start over from the very beginning, just to get the correct behavior. But in most cases, we don't react as it was supposed to at the moment required. So I thought that once a woman pleased me physically attracted to me somehow, I thought that love would be in the picture. Later, I realized that the love with the capital L is not something that was easily met. I understand why a person is in the sadness and grief when he or she met the love of his or her way. I'm talking to those who have already met it.'

'I will not give you a definition of love, you may already know. The real advice I would give you if you have something to say or something to do, take the time to calculate the pros and cons before doing so. Few people come to understand that each of our actions has logically a consequence. To every action there is a reaction to any cause, there is a consequence. It will be beneficial and who knows it may give you a leg up on problems that could be avoided if we had just taken a moment to reflect on this gesture, this word or action.'

IN THE BEGINNING

' I'll tell you how it all began, an adventure that happened to me last time, but I still ask myself the question: How could I be wrong on such a visible truth? I think to make you aware of it at the end of my story. If sometimes I interrupt or give opinions this is my way, you do not have to agree with me. I live alone in a house that is the legacy of my parents. My parents live in Vancouver. I have two brothers and one sister. In short, it is to give you an idea of the current mood of my family. We are all independent from one another, this is fine as it is the way our parents raised us. My parents are at the age of retirement. They spend their whole time bickering over trifles, but the important thing is that they love each other in their old age as they had loved in the past.'

' By way of description, my house, or rather that of my parents is a beautiful building that my father had drawn plans. It is bounded on the north by another house, on the south by the street, east and west by the neighbors' houses. Its area expands over three hundred thirty seven square meters and a half, distributed as follows fifteen meters long and twenty two meters wide. The house occupies half of the ground, the other party has an almond tree, two mango trees, papaya trees, bush. The fence surrounding the property to the rear and the garden wall and the almost home meter measuring two and a half high, the wall facing the front of house, goes only one meter high. The latter have two gates: One overlooking the driveway leading to the garage where my sister parked her car, a small metal gate with concrete walkway boarded on both sides by grass. This walkway would lead to the reception room of the house. The house has five bedrooms: a master bedroom which was occupied by our parents when they lived with us. It is still closed, has its own bathroom, four other rooms were occupied respectively by children when everyone was there, are served by bathrooms for each pair of rooms. If you ask about my siblings, where they are? Well! I'll tell you now. My brother had gone to spend the holidays with my parents and there, he met a woman and... you know the rest, he set camp and they married. On latest news, they were expecting their first born. My second brother is a case which I cannot elaborate too much on because he is a travelling pigeon that I do not know the destination, sometimes he's with my parents sometimes he crosses to the United States, I do not know what trade he is trafficking. About my sister who still lives with me, she is how to tell, a person with whom I sometimes bicker with, she precedes me in the children line up. She is like the person in charge of the house in the absence of our parents.'

' I will continue with my description of the place, I must tell you that I'm not very good at description, as they always say a picture is better than a thousand words. I hope your imagination fill the holes that I'd left. The area leading to the rooms was connected to a distribution room upstairs, this is where the stairs from the kitchen downstairs. Downstairs the garage connected to the dining room by a door, this room there was the kitchen, the refrigerator and the shelf.'

' This is just to give you an accurate picture of some place or event would have to occur. In the courtyard was all things to do laundry, two lines to extend wet clothes after washing for drying in the sun, oh yeah! We are not equipped with these machines to wash and dry. Part of the courtyard was paved in concrete.'

' My bedroom had a twin bed, it was a recent acquisition of a former job I had before that my parents gave it to me, the change was necessary as the old one was really on its very last day of service.'

' My desk had a multimedia computer, I'll spare you the technical specifications because it is a tool that I fully assembled myself. I do not want you to feel you lost, everyone is not an Information Technology Technician! Then, there is my closet wall with wooden shutters doors, one door at a large mirror. I do not have a TV in my room, the living room has a very large one. This is where lies the stereo, three chairs and a large sofa. I grew up in this house and I can say that when I am in it, I feel good and safe? If it was a sure thing. It is true as before the house was better maintained under the supervision of our parents. The latter had just decided to stay a little longer still in Canada, once they saw that we could handle our lives.'

' It's funny how people judge us, condemn us without even being aware of the causes that have pushed us to execute an action. As I said earlier, but what am I doing? I deviate from the mishaps which I decided I was going to tell you.'

' I was invited to a ball room dance. It was in a nice house, nice building made according to modern architecture, with all the comforts that a home could offer. Judging by the size of the conservatory, living room, and half bathroom, I thought it was a home where it would be nice to live, me, who like the space: I was invited to this home to attend a party lounge. The atmosphere was the hottest since the operator called DJ was broadcasting the latest hits at the time. You never know where a meeting can take you. You encounter people who later turn out to be your worst enemies. I greet the woman who invited me to confirm my presence, I am naturally a shy guy.'

How are you, Max? You are handsome tonight, is it for me that you got yourself so fine? I think you're charming enough to be eaten! Stated the hostess.

It's going well, I am fine, you know I'm very modest, you told me to come to a party, you do not think that I came in dressed as a bum, anyway? I replied.

Well it does not matter, I'll introduce you to some of some of my friends, said Regine.I must tell you that between them, there is one, there is a wild one who can make you see all the colors.

I do not think losing my feathers with anyone and then I came to have fun not to make me a girlfriend. I replied.

' For your information, the woman I spoke with, is a longtime friend. This is a pretty brunette with black hair, brown eyes, an oval face, a small mouth, nose a little flat, physically, she is slim, slender and shapely.'

' She is a nice friend, we made the last high school classes together. I think it was at this point that I noticed this woman on the dance floor. Wearing a short dress bright red pinch on her body, she had nice legs, hair that reached her on the neck, she had a well-balanced body, a thin waist. And I also saw that she was dancing with another guy, I can guess that it was her boyfriend has seen how she was swinging with her partner. So we arrived at the bottom of the gallery about a group of beautiful girls who were talking to each other.'

Hi girls, I will introduce a good friend of mine I wish you were holding company during the party, Regine began.

So I start, I'm Nadia Bellydo.

I am called Valerie Paul Vincent.

Josephine Joseph.

Well, they call me Jean Claude Maxime, I replied, I am delighted to meet you.

The group is not complete, added Regine, but where Julia went?

You should know where Julia went, she always want to stand out and in a party, guess where can she be? Nadia began.

On the dance floor! Replied in chorus the other two.

' In a suspicious glance, they looked at each other as if to ask who will grab her hand at the young man their friend brought on the table. To break the ice a bit, I went to sit with each other to continue the conversation.'

Good girls as a hostess, said Regine, I do not think I could be with you only, I have to take care of the other guests, ok.

' On this statement, she apologized and took the road to the other side of the porch and disappeared. I was not going to not review before I met the woman who was torturing me in the depths of my heart and my feelings.'

What are you doing in life?Asked Nadia

I'm studying Computer Science, I am currently working as an intern in an equipment store. You and other girls?

' I told myself that I'll spend the whole night to ask questions to find out exactly who I'm dealing with and then who knows how to dance a little.'

I am an Executive Secretary, said Nadia.

I'm not working at the moment, I have a degree as a hostess in ticketing, I am currently studying English, says Valerie.

I am studying management in the State University, said Josephine.

Do you have brothers and sisters?Nadia questioned before adding, we also speak of your family while you're at it?

I am the third in a family of four, I have two brothers and a sister. They are called respectively Jean Paul, Reginald and Marie Marthe. My father and mother are named Pierre Paul and Jacqueline, they are both managers. I live with my sister, my brothers are in the U.S., my parents are in Canada.

' It was at this point that the music ended. It was as if I felt that something strange was going to happen to me. I had the opportunity at that time to turn my head to see a woman to heading toward the group. It was one I saw dancing with a guy, she came alone, without her boyfriend! She was walking with cat steps, sure of herself, she walked as if she knew all the male sex only had eyes for her. She looked like one of those women who are in control of their environment. She was heading to our table with a stare and distracted but could show that she was not a person who can be easily dupe.'

Here, I make a turn on the dance floor and I come back and you get a boy between you, I can say that you work fast girls, she said with a playful tone with a concentrated look at the intruder sitting between them.

Oh! But how dare you classify us, we are not men seekers, replied Josephine a bloody tone.

So, when are we going to present me this sir, she asked.

' Without waiting for one of them introduced me,' they called me Maxime Jean Claude, and your name?

They call me after she sat on the chair available that facing me, Julia Romano. Hey, girls, this is a trio that comes is surely to invite us to dance, I want to do crazy things tonight!

That, we know, added Valerie, You seem to forget where your last madness had brought you to, huh!

Bah! This is the past, I did not say that I needed someone to remind me, said Julia.

' I was not too uncomfortable as I drank my beer usually puts me in a very cool state. There I was surrounded by very pretty girls and I was asking myself which
