Nikolas POVWe drove my sports car en route to the Ambrosio Mansion, there is a golden rule between the five families in the council. "Don't attack women and children." Diane broke this rule, even though she's not the head of her family yet, Don Ambrosio knows better to educate her on the rules and regulations. I clenched the power steering tightly as I accelerated the speed of the car. We kept gliding around cars in the expressway like we were in a car race.I glanced with the corner of my eye at Rainora. She was quiet since we left the hideout. I noticed her holding the tip of her hands and kept looking out through the glass window, trying to avoid my gaze. The tension inside the car was icy and awkward. I felt sweat dripping from my forehead and I was nervous to even talk about...that kiss. "Maybe I just pretend like it never happened," I mumbled quietly to myself. "No" I nodded my head in denial. We should address it since we work together, thus see each other every day.I finally

“That’s alright, you can take as many days as you need. Just submit your leave request to the HR department so they can process it and pay your allowance.” Nikolas replied. His eyes darkened. He had a sorrowful look on his face, but I averted his gaze as I closed the door behind me. I placed my hand on my chest to calm my racing heart.

RAINORA POVThe overcast of the sun set perfectly as I had a shower and stepped out for dinner. The tantalizing aroma of lasagna reached out from the oven to my nostrils. It brought some nostalgic memories from my childhood. I remembered vaguely on and arin sitting around the dining table. Mary was dressed in a flowery gown with her apron over it, and she also wore oven mitts as she carried the hot tray of lasagna to the table. While my father sat down next to us with a huge grin on his face. Those were the last memories I had with all of us together as a family sitting down. I snapped back and quickly sat on the dining chair, Arin also rushed to the dining table and hurriedly sat down. Mary shook her head with a cheeky smile. “ I made your favorite today Rainora.” She gently dropped the tray on the table, it still had the hot steam fuming out of it. I grabbed the serving knife quickly as Arin also stretched his hands to pick it up too. I grinned as I held it with victory while he

Rainora POVI surfed through my box and found a free-flowing yellow dress. I quickly changed and applied make-up to look presentable. I finally came out of my bedroom to meet the gaze of both Arin and Thomas Green. Arin gasped in shock, while Thomas froze up with glanced at me intently. My cheeks flustered while I adjusted my dress. Arin grinned while sensing the awkwardness in the room.“ You look more girly, Rainora-” I shot a glare at him. “I always look this way…you dork.” I snapped back.Thomas cleared his throat while regaining his composure. “ I think what Arin’s trying to say is you look radiant Miss Rainora.” I met his gaze with a gracious smile. “ Thank you Thomas, you don’t look bad yourself.” His cheeks turned red blushing as he nodded in approval.Moments later, Mary came out and met us in the living room. Her eyes caught my dress. Her eyes widened in astonishment. “Wow Rai, you look gorgeous.” She sensed the deep gaze of Thomas as she moved closer to me. “Thank you for

Rainora POVThe boutique sold latest editions of opulent fashion accessories. Mannequins in show glasses posing in some of apparels. There were huge posters several foot long hanging from the ceilings, of supermodels and famous actors striking different alluring poses marketing the different designer brands and products.It was filled with various customers who were browsing the various items with enthusiasm and comeuppance.Like children in a candy store. I quietly walked around to the clothes section to pick out items for Arin and Mary. Thomas followed closely behind. I bit my lips as I occasionally caught him starring at me like a lost puppy. There was a sense of awkwardness between us. I quirked my lips as I met his gaze.“Your a guy right?” I asked while glancing at Thomas. He had a dumbfounded look on his face as he checked out his masculine physique.“The last time I check-” Thomas replied in a sarcastic tone. I shot him a glare while I went through the male T-shirts section.“
