LOGIN“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“Damien–” Aria called as she gently pushed him away. “–we could get caught.”“I have missed you, Aria. Please let me take you home.” Damien said as he let go.Aria shook her head.“No. No. We shouldn't even be doing this.” she said, her voice shaking.“You want me, Aria. I know it. You miss me but you don't want to say it.”“I'm trying to protect myself. I am not cut out to be with you. It is dangerous, not when someone like Camille is involved.”Damien let out a sigh. “What Camille and I have is not real. We are under a contract, nothing else. It is only for the benefit of the company, but trust me I think about you every day.” he told her.“That makes no difference, you are still together.”“But I want to be with you, not her.” Damien pressed on. “Please come with me tonight.”Aria refused. “I am not the type of lady you can bend to your will. You always initiate a kiss without my
“Blackwood Enterprise is hosting a charity gala event. Its fiftieth event in years.” Damien Blackwood read from the newspaper with all pride.Adrian smiled.It was certainly a significant one his boss could not wait to attend.“Did you send an invitation to all the staff?” he asked Adrian.“Yes, sir.” his assistant answered.“Did you make it mandatory?”“Yes, sir.” he replied, even though it was weird to ask that.“Good.” the man said and dismissed him.When he was gone, he placed the newspaper on the desk and leaned back into his seat. In as much as he had to attend, he had to take Camille along. The mere thought of it bothered him because Aria would also be around and he did not want her to see him with any other person.What was he going to do? he thought as he brought his hand to his chin.He had made the invitation compulsory so that meant Aria was going to attend. All he needed was a way
Days 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
“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
“What is it? You don't want me?” Damien asked when he noticed Aria did not want to enter the vehicle. Aria did not say anything. She was still contemplating on if she should or should not enter. “What is your answer going to be?” Damien asked again with a slight smirk. He was sure she had no oth
