Chapter: Chapter Thirty Five "You've been moody the whole day, Rosie." Olivia peered at Rosie from the wooden barrier that barricaded them in the office restroom. It was almost 6:00 pm and thanks to Olivia, Rosie still lingered in the company. "I'm just a bit exhausted, I guess..." Rosie told her with a faltering smile. She dried off her hands and tossed the used napkins into the trashcan. "Let's not go home then," Olivia suggested, drying off her hands as well. "Huh?" "Let's go to a fancy restaurant and eat all our problems away, what do you say to that?" "But I had a burger earlier and I don't think I'm hungry just yet..." The rumbling from her belly cut her off and Olivia pointed in the direction of her belly. "Did you hear that?" "I did," Rosie rolled her eyes, smiling genuinely now. She could not believe her stomach, giving her away even before she could finish talking. "Yikes. Let's move." Olivia took a look at her watch and exited the restroom and her office while keeping the door open and urging

Chapter: Chapter Thirty Four "Woah, I haven't even done anything yet." Damian raised his hand in mock surrender, his mouth twitching. His brother held a bat in his hand, and it amused him. It suddenly felt like they were kids again, pranking and always on each other's throats- until they separated, each one to their own different universities. "Keep it down." Darian thrusted the bat forward. Damian released the book and it went reeling to the table, where it was before. "You prolly have a lot of secrets in that book, with the way you made me drop it." Damian commented, when Darian walked over. He had thrown the bat to a corner and snatched the notepad from the table. Now, he glared at Damian from the corner of his eyes. "Hey, doppelganger. How have you been?" Damian said to him after some seconds of silence punctuated occasionally by sounds from the city below. "You actually sound like you care right now," Darian tsked. He refilled the glass that Damian had kept on the table and took slow sips of the win

Chapter: Chapter Thirty Three Damian stared into his system, his eyes hooded with worry that no one could decipher even after studying him for minutes. He sat with the calmness of one whose life was on track, and his fingers flew over the keypads as he sent a letter of dismissal to one of his workers. He had found the man out on inspection. He was a spy, sent from God knows where. The man refused to spill the bean in spite of the logical torture that Damian had put him under, so Damian resorted to subjecting him to physical torture. Even so, the man would not budge. Not planning to stain his hands just yet, Damian had told his men to let him off the hook. He had a clue that he was sent by Olivia, and it was the secondary reason to why he had not harmed him in any way. Now, he sat stoically after pressing send and wondered how far she intended to go with her plot to destroy him. He was already half as rich as he was before. The company was cutting down on cost even when everything seemed buttered up on the outs

Chapter: Chapter Thirty Two Rosie expertly covered the shock on her face with a faux smile. Her expression screamed "You blood sucking miserable heart wrenching dude. I'll kill you!" In a very palatable way. "It's been soo long..." Jenny blushed, while enfolding him in a bear hug "I thought you went back to Britain." Rosie could tell that she was not British even when the accent remained thick on her tongue. She was thoroughly beautiful, her mannerisms added to her charm- except for the fact that she kissed Darian on the lip. Rosie hoped that she would burn in hell for that. Her eyes were narrowed into slits as she watched the two of them catch up, even when the air was already tense for Darian. "No. I stayed back to establish myself here..." Rosie walked off before he could complete his statement. She would not describe the awful feeling that raked through her very being as 'Heartbroken'. No, that was too easy. She was wounded. She felt like he had collected her heart in one night, torn it into ligaments a

Chapter: Chapter Thirty One "That aside, how's the preparation for the gala?" Ivan looked at her over the magazine in his hand. "All hands are on deck on making the appearance of Arthur's group a success. Marietta handled what I would be wearing, the dress you bought from Germany is sitting in my closet. The dress is pretty, Uncle. Thank you," Olivia smiled, in spite of herself. "You don't have to thank me, you deserve the whole world dear." He softly replied, feeling touched by her humility "Aha! I shouldn't be there at the gala but I will avail myself for the formalities, and I will introduce you to someone... Regal. He has just as much influence as I do, and knows how to weld his power when it comes to handling business deals." "Oh," Olivia thought aloud, she slightly leaned on the table "Is he an old friend of yours or...?" "He's the son of an old friend of mine. The heir to an empire." "Oh, okay. I look forward to seeing him then," She beamed. Lately, Olivia derived joy from getting to familiarize

Chapter: Chapter ThirtyDarian lathered her, gently caressing her skin as he bathed her. Rosie watched as he touched her, she was exhausted from all the humping but a part of her still wanted him, always wanted him. She gazed at his chiselled features and bit back a moan when his hand slid to her core. "Open up," He commanded and she did, slightly spreading her thighs for him to clean. Steam evaporated from her body as the water continually ran over it. Darian, who had never cleaned a woman up meticulously washed her, he did not scrub too hard for fear of leaving dents on her perfect skin. Taking another look at the hickeys on her neck and breasts, he was glad that he had done them. It was like marking her, like showing the world that she was his- but he would not admit it. Not yet. "You know, if your eyes were daggers... I'd be dead by now." He told her in his low voice and she bashfully lowered her eyes. "I... I wasn't looking at you." He said nothing and continued rinsing her skin. When she touch
