It is dangerous to exist in the world. To exist is to be threatened. We must live with threats……………..　　Receiving threats was no longer new for Damien but finding who ladybird was his top priority and he needed to find them before they get to him. He had hired a private investigator as Esme suggested and investigations had begun.　　He glared at the letter on his desk, he was getting tired of receiving empty threats from them, he wished he could find the sender and end it once and for all. Seeing the letter disgusted him the most. He had informed the detective about all the things happening and the letter he had received earlier and was waiting for his arrival.　　The detective walked in wearing a grey suit and black pants, he had dark shades on and walked gigantically with his hand in his left pocket, he had a stern look on his face that made people tremble, he carried his briefcase like it meant everything to him. Damien was meeting him for the first time and he wasn’t quite pleased.

　　"Hello cupcake"　　Damien sighed when he saw the name on the receiver, he was still asleep when the call woke him up.　　"What do you want this time Esme?" Damien knew her too well to know she needed something.　　"Well since you asked, Annie will be seeing her therapist today and-"　　"And what?" He cuts in. "I hope this is not what I'm thinking 'cause it's not going to happen," he added.　　"Relax man, I just need you to give her a ride that's all. It'll enable you two to bond easily" she said　　"What do you mean? Look Esme I need to go back to bed, call me when you have something more interesting to talk about" Damien said.　　"Please!!!! Do this for me. This will prove to her that you are not that heartless, mean man she thinks you are" she said, trying to convince him.　　"What she thinks about me is none of my concern" he muttered. "Fine, I'll send Thomas to her, not because I care about what she thinks of me. I'm doing this because you asked, this is going to be the last time" he add

　　Damien watched from the window as Robert parked in front of the building, got out and opened the door for Annie.　　"A gentleman indeed. If only she knew the devil he truly is," Damien thought.　　Annie was grinning from ear to ear and flickered at every comment Robert made to the irritation of Damien.　　Just then, Esme breezed into his office and caught him glaring at them. His temper flared in his eyes, and then his cheekbones.　　"What's wrong?" She asked but got no response from him so she turned to the window and found Robert with Annie to her amazement.　　"Holy shit!" She exclaimed, "Isn't that Robert?"　　"Yea, that's him, in flesh and blood" he answered　　"What the hell is Robert doing here and why is he with Annie? She asked.　　"That's her therapist and she just returned from a lunch date with him. How terrific"　　"What are you going to do about it? Esme asked,　　"What am I going to do?" He scoffed, "I'm not sure what you mean, Esmeralda," Damien said, wrinkling his brow. Damien

　　It was the beginning of a brand new day, Annie had already arrived at the office as early as she could. Over the past few days, she had tried to avoid both Damien and Robert. Though she still went to see her therapist if need be, she was discreet during her sessions and made sure there was no diversion of any sort. She wasn't going to allow herself to be used as a tool to get back at each other.　　At the office too, she was unusually quiet and won't say a word until she was asked to. She became distant from everyone including Esme who noticed it as well. Damien too noticed her unusual calmness but wasn't concerned about it. He still had her trailed by Thomas every single day.　　Annie sat at her desk pondering, she recalled what Naomi had said to her after narrating the ordeal at the restaurant during her last lunch date with the therapist. Naomi had been too surprised when she told her everything.　　"You mean he booked all the whole tables in the restaurant just to ruin your lunch da

　　Annie woke up the next morning to find him gone. There was a note on the bed that read.　　"Off to the meeting"　　Annie was confused, why then did he bring her here if she wasn't going to join him for the meeting? She had abandoned her session just to be here and now all she had to do was sit there all day till he returned from his stupid meeting.　　Annie was still in a rage when a knock came on the door, she opened the door to see who it was. The waiter walked into the room with her breakfast.　　"I never ordered for breakfast, you must be mistaken," she told the waiter. She couldn't recall ordering a meal and thought the waiter was in the wrong room.　　"Your husband did," the waiter said "Bon appetit, ma'am. If you need anything else do well to let me know," he said　　"Ok, truly you are mistaken here. I'm not married," she said, trying to convince him but the waiter seemed sure that he was in the right room. Bowing, he left the room leaving Annie in utter confusion.　　Annie suddenly
