Mag-log inIsabella entered the house she shared with Lucas. After a whole day at work, she did not want the stress to get to her, instead she wanted to rest her hand before thinking of anything. However, on entering, she caught sight of Lucas sprawled on the couch with a beer laid out by his side.
On seeing him,Isabella sucked in a deep breath and walked to him, tapping him on the shoulders.“What the hell is wrong with you?” she questioned as he rose to sit up.Lucas glancedDays passed and Isbella did not return to Lucas. At this point Lucas was already convinced that he was alone and if he did not rise back early enough, he would be totally doomed for real. With a sigh, sat up from his bed, strolling through his Instagram page for any trace of vacancy he can apply for since lots of companies were starting to use social media to their advantage. However, there was a serious problem which resulted from his actions leading up to being fired. The news had spread through the internet with the headline being: SENIOR FINANCIAL ANALYST GETS FIRED FOR EMBEZZLEMENT OF COMPANY'S FUNDS.This had been written with his picture boldly pasted at the front page.“That is already enough red flag.” Lucas whispered to himself as the phone fell from his hand, landing back on the bed.How was he going to get a job with such news revolving around him?While he was still in thought, his phone dinged. Jucas hurriedly picked it up,
After work for the night, Aria took the elevator down. As it counted down,her mind drifted back to the message she had seen.‘Meet me at De Bar house. I need to tell you something’. The message had said.Aria let out a breath. She did not want to see him, she did not want to have any talk with him. She only wanted to get him out of her mind.Should she go or not? she contemplated.The message had sounded weird, not the type Damien would send to her. In fact he barely sent her messages, so why now?Was it important? Aria scoffed.“He obviously wants to make me feel more heartbroken and sad about his new relationship.” she told herself.However, she needed to put a stop to it. She had to make him see that their relationship was over and that he can no longer request to see her anytime he likes, unless it was on a business term since he was still clearly her boss. So to do that, she would meet him and make it clea
Hours later, Aria was done with work. She rounded the pending tasks to be done the next day and gulped the last mug of coffee that had been keeping her up.When she glanced at the clock, it was past nine, the perfect closing hour for her. She arranged her bag, brushed her hair back and applied some lip balm before exiting the building. Just as she was about taking the elevator, her mind went back to the series of experiences she had had there.What if she stumbles upon Damien again? Or she hears another devastating news?With those thoughts in mind, she figured it was best to take the stairs. The stairs were surely long, but for now, that was the option she needed.She got off some minutes later and was about heading out when she caught sight of Nicholas. As he turned towards her direction, she gave a little wave.“I was expecting you to come out of there.” he said pointing to the elevator, “don't tell me you took the stairs?”Ar
The next morning, Damien woke up to find himself in a strange room. His eyes were glued to the white ceiling, his mind trying to remember where he was. Just as he was lost in thought, he felt something stir beside him. He quickly looked to his left to find Camille sleeping at his side.Damien froze in shock to find her in bed with him. He opened the blanket and found himself still naked. Without thinking, he got out of bed and went into the bathroom.When he was out, Camille was resting on the bed.“You broke one of your terms.” she said.Damien glanced over at her as he buttoned his shirt, but he did not say anything.“You also called her name last night.” she added.Damien took a pause. Then he began to put on his wrist watch without speaking.“You know even if our relationship is contracted, I think I deserve some respect too. Calling your ex's name in front of me is not nice.”“She is not my ex.” Damien blu
“I have thought about the plan you have and I have come to a conclusion.” Damien told Camille as they were seated in an upscale restaurant,.one chosen by Camille.She let out a smile.“What plan exactly?”Damien shot her a look. He was trying to calm himself down. This was not what he wanted but if he was going to end the whole ruckus on time, then he had to do it.“You spoke about the plan to marry, make new headlines and divorce.”“Okay?” Camille said slowly.“Except it is going to be on my own terms.”Camille raised a brow. “And what are the terms?”No matter what it was, she could not wait to hear it. More importantly, she was not bothered about what his plan was, after all Damien was seated with her, agreeing to her plan. Something she had never dreamt of.“We remain as lovers to the public. No marriage. No divorce.”There was silence.Camille knew Damien would always have his way
It was already a day after and the news of Damien and Camille was still circulating. There were pictures of them both in public and private occasions and to end the speculations, Camille had confirmed it to herself to the media. However, the meeting with Damien's father had not ended on a good note. Damien's mind drifted to the meeting he had just concluded with his father. The old man had repeatedly told him how much he knew his son would definitely get back on the right track. Those words had pissed Damien off, but there was no need to react yet since he had a plan already. Mr. Pierce on his own part had congratulated them even though he was shocked as to how his daughter could pull him off.“The media is still writing articles related to you and Camille.” Mr. Blackwood said when he and his son were given some privacy.“Isn't that what you wanted? That the media exposure would influence the business growth positively?”Mr. Blackwood l
“Sir.” Adrian called as he entered the office in a hurry. Damien, who had been lost in thought, quickly regained consciousness and looked at his assistant.“Yes, Adrian? Is there a problem? And why didn't you knock?” he asked him.“I did, but it appears you were too busy,” the man explained as he
“Who the hell does he think he is?” Damien yelled in anger as he slammed the door behind him. He walked towards his office, pulling his tie as he walked while Adrian trotted behind him in a slow and calculated manner. He was aware of his boss' temper, and the only thing he could do was distance h
Damien did not know what brought him to Aria's room. He just found himself there. She stood before him, her eyes shining in surprise at his intrusion.Damien was speechless, not that he did not know what to say, but because he was not sure if she would believe him if he said he came to see her.He
The next day, Aria was feeling happy. Although it was strange, she hoped it reflected her feelings properly. Before heading to her desk, she greeted her coworkers as she walked in. On getting to her desk, she could see a stack of documents on her table. She smiled, already knowing it belonged to
