LOGINThe warmth in my expression disappeared immediately."I had a feeling. He called you?" I utter gently even though I already knew."He did. Did he call you too?" she says carefully.I nod my head."He wants me in Milan, for the foundation gala." my frown deepens.She sighs softly. "Of course he does.""He needs photographs." I continue."Damian...""He just needs a show off to the press." my mood turns sour.My mum stays quiet for a moment, then spoke gently."I won't defend him." she adds softly."I know.""But..."She hesitates, then takes my hands into hers."If you decide not to go, make that decision because it's right for you, not because you are angry." she pats my shoulders lightly and smiles softly."I stopped making decisions out of anger years ago." I pointed out in an easy tone."Then why don't you go?" she adds lightly.The man wasn't to be trusted, he could never change, there were a lot of reasons I could give. But most importantly, one of the main reasons..."Because ev
"Damian, hey." I say, mustering a shaky smile."What are you doing here?" he dips his hands into his pocket, eyeing me suspiciously. "Aren't you supposed to be at the new medical center?""We were all there not long ago but uhm," I try clearing my throat calmly. "We called it a day and I decided to check out the old medical center to see how it was, you know, just check how things are here." I say frantically.He just smiles."So what do you think?" his gaze is so intent on me."Huh""About the center." "Oh! Uhm, I don't know I just got here." I say more to myself. Also I followed you around so I haven't really checked out the place or how everyone is, just saw how you treat everyone here and how they treat you too, I think to myself."Well, I don't think you can check the place out from the position you are in." he gestures to my hiding spot and I flush instantly."Right." I smile lightly as I step out of my hiding position. This was so embarrassing, I just really hope he doesn't se
What no, we were about to...I protest inside my mind. I want to draw him back and fling myself into his arms, kissing him passionately but I only end up nodding my head.I hid my disappointment as I grab my things and exist his office. Heading straight to the elevator, I see his driver waiting for me at the same spot he did the last time. I give him a small smile in acknowledgement and we head down to the underground parking lot. Where his Rolls-Royce phantom is parked.He drives through the bustling street of Manhattan in a blaze and before long we're parked in front of my apartment. I thank him, forcing myself to walk straight toward my apartment, I was feeling drained of energy. Maybe it was the day's stress finally taking its toll on me or maybe it was...I enter the apartment feeling exhausted."Looks like Eva isn't home yet." so I head straight to the shower to rejuvenate. Maybe the cool water on my body would help me function properly. But the shower does little to nothing for
I spent my Sunday alone in my apartment, trying to clear my head by arranging and cleaning up the apartment. I'd spoken with Eva yesterday and her dad's situation wasn't that bad anymore, so she was coming back today, after speaking with her mum over the phone and sending my regards to her dad we hung up.Matt had also been really occupied in the hospital since this week, that it was almost impossible to see him all week. Through out last night I'd been trying to wrap my head around the events of the last few days at work. What was even going on with me? What even happened? Honestly, absolutely nothing. Yes, he just noticed that I didn't have breakfast and decided to buy me lunch, it wasn't supposed to be a big deal so why was I making a mountain out of a mole hill. Shouldn't I at least be grateful that he got me lunch instead of letting me starve.But it did hurt when he said, "Good night Miss Adams." It was just so formal, so...Urgh! I really need a reality check. Maybe I'll go to
By the end of my second day as an executive liaison, I'd learnt one thing. Voss Enterprises never stopped moving, I mean not that I didn't know that already but it sort of brought it to my consciousness.There was always another meeting, always another acquisition, another charity initiative, another country, another deadline. It was intimidating but strangely, I liked it. It pushed me beyond what I'd like to think were my limits. No two days were the same here.Pedro appeared outside my office just after ten."Mr Voss has moved the strategy meeting to conference room three, I sent you a mail on that.""Sorry, I didn't really check." I try searching for it, only then did I see it.I gathered my notebook and tablet. "Any particular reason?" I ask struggling to keep up with him.He smiled politely. "He said the lighting is better."I laugh at how crazy that was. What was it with these billionaires and their spontaneity."I didn't realize conference rooms had personalities."He just giv
Later that afternoon, I found myself standing in Damian's office door. I knock before entering, standing at the entrance."You asked to see me?"He looked up from the stack of documents in front of him."I did, come in." there's a flicker of amusement in his eyes as looks at me lingering at the doorway. "Don't worry, I don't bite."I stepped inside his office. It was my first time in here and boy, it screamed elegance at it's peak.Damian and Sebastian's offices were the only two that occupied the entire corner of the top floor. Inside his office had a floor-to-ceiling windows framing the glittering Manhattan skyline and Hudson river like a living masterpiece. Rich walnut paneling, charcoal marble floors, and soft ambient lighting gave the space a quiet, commanding elegance. A massive custom built desk sat at the center, immaculate except for a laptop, a leather portfolio, and a crystal pen holder. Behind him, shelves displayed a carefully curated collection of books, awards, and mo
Damian's POVI meant it last night when I told her I would take her to Italy or anywhere else she wanted and that really seemed to bother me a lot on multiple levels. Sure I'd taken a few women on some trips in the past but this, somehow was different.I hadn't been to Italy in a very long time but
CassieDamian made everything feel easy, easy enough for me to forget I wasn't supposed to be doing this. This was supposed to be a one time thing but I couldn't seem to just let go. He is too dangerous for me, I doubt I'll be able to recover from this; this was becoming more, I shouldn't want more
Walking into my reservation in the resort of Balearic Islands was really amazing, everything here is splendid. It seems like this was the best time of the year to be here, but how was I supposed to have fun all by myself when I can't even get pass this hurt.I can't help the little stab in my chest
I stopped dead in my tracks when I heard those moans coming from his room. My feet had never felt this heavy before, all I could do was mindlessly drag my body one step at a time, silently praying all this was just a figment of my imagination. Maybe I wasn't seeing clearly from the distance.I had
