Mag-log inThe next day as Aria was being driven to work, she could not help but think about Damien's behaviour. She had seen the look on his face the day before, and it was obviously not a good one plus that was the only time she saw him. Aria wondered if Damien was around, locked up in his office, not wanting to come out. She had heard his voice last night, it was stern as he spoke out orders into his phone. The next morning, Aria could only glance at the door as she left for work, unsure of if to confront him or let him be.“Is anything wrong?” she had asked Adrian, when she caught sight of him approaching.The young man had let out a frustrated sigh. “It is just the collision of business and family matters.”Aria had wanted to ask more questions, but she just let it be. After all, his life was of no concern to her. He had his life set out for him while she was just an ordinary lady seeking revenge.Even though she had started growing feelings for him, it was temporary, Damien was not inter
“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 him for the time being. When Damien entered his office, he slammed the door hard against the wall, keeping Adrian locked outside. The man heaved a heavy sigh as he was glad at himself for maintaining a reasonable amount of distance between them. He looked at the door, waiting for Damien's call, but none was forthcoming, then he wanted to knock but after contemplating, he walked away, leaving the man in his office. Damien stood by the window, staring out into the busy streets with his hands in his pockets. A lot was going through in his mind as he had things to think about, especially the fact that his father's warning had been issued severely. Soon, he began to pace around the room, brea
“Schedule the meeting with my father.” Damien said as soon she saw Adrian. “Yes, sir.” the man said.All of a sudden he halted and turned, “make it today.”Adrian, who appeared shocked, only nodded and walked away. Then Damien took in a deep breath and went to prepare for the visit. He had made up his mind to settle everything with his father, even the matter that was of utmost concern to him.Perhaps he would also tell him about Aria and let everything else be. It was his decision, and he needed to make it known to his father.When he was ready, he approached Adrian, who was waiting by the car, and the two drove away.As they arrived at the mansion, Damien was first greeted by the fresh scent of flowers, another reminder of his mother. He sucked in his breath and walked into the house, to the living room, where his father was seated.“Hi, Damien. I see you have arrived.” Camille, whom Damien had not recognized at the opposite side of the room, said with a smile immediately he entere
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 had been resting for hours, but the thought of his mother had interrupted his rest. It had been triggered after thinking a lot about the family meeting his father had proposed.He could not get rid of the thought of his mother; it haunted him until he finally left his room. Damien could have gone to the rooftop to clear his head as usual, but instead he found himself walking towards Aria's room.When he got to the door, he had heard her giggle softly as she spoke. It was clear that she was on the phone.Was it Nicholas?Immediately he knocked, only to see her open the door with the least expression he had expected to see. He then looked down at her; she was dressed in a revealing silk gown,
“Sir, Mr. Blackwood has called to schedule a family dinner.” Mr. Adrian informed his boss.The young man gave him a glance before returning his attention to the documents.“I have no time to spare for a family meeting.” Damien said without looking up again.“However, sir, he stated that you should not object because it is mandatory.” Adrian pressed on.With a sigh, Damien supported his chin with his hands while resting his elbows on the desk. He was aware of the purpose of the supposed dinner. The same topic his father never forgets to remind him of.He was already tired of him bringing it up all the time, so he tried as much as he could to avoid meeting with him.“Just do as I say, Adrian.” Damien told him as he got back to his documents.The young man sighed and wondered how his boss could be so rigid towards his father. He knew Mr. Blackwood was not the type of man who would accept “no” as an answer, which made him even more concerned.“Are you having trouble comprehending what I j
Isabella sat in front of the mirror smearing a rosy lipstick on her lips while Lucas laid on the bed behind her, watching her doll herself up. His gaze was fixed on her lustful figure, which was barely concealed by the new lingerie she was wearing.After a while, he sat up, still not taking his eyes off her.“Where are you off to?” he finally asked after much contemplation.“To see a friend.” she blurted nonchalantly.“A friend?” he asked with surprise.They had just had a good time, so he was not expecting her to leave anytime soon. She was supposed to be with him in bed, lying between his arms while he snuck his nose in her hair. But here she was, getting ready to meet a friend.Isabella turned to face him with a slightly annoyed expression.“What do you mean by that?” She questioned, “that I cannot go to see my friend? Or that I don't have one?”“Don't put words in my mouth. I am only surprised that you have to see this friend–by this time.”Isabella's expression abruptly changed t
