"Hu... Hunn," Isla found herself faltering as her gaze fixed on the image of her and Damien from eight years ago, sharing a bed. Her eyes batted repeatedly, wondering how Gareth had that picture in his phone."When were you ever planning to tell me about this?" His question came in; his voice was calm, but it carried firmness.Isla shook her head. "I... I was going to tell—""Bullshit!" he barked, and next came the sound of shattering glass. He had just pushed down everything that was on the dining table.Isla gasped, stepping back to avoid the glass pieces. She raised her wide, surprised eyes to him, hoping to see some sort of regret, but there wasn’t any. His eyes were bloodshot soulless, remorseless.He pointed his trembling finger at her. "We've been together for eight years, fucking eight years, Isla!" he roared. "And you can't even tell me this? I fucking told you everything about me!"Something was wrong with Gareth. He didn’t yell; he didn’t cuss. She was too shocked to respon

Still at the Khan's meeting room*"Since Mrs Khan has challenged us on how we can distribute the shares, I think it's time to discuss how to market these stones. Both marketing departments have been working on what would look best for the stone, and we’ve wrapped it up with an idea."The marketing manager placed a pictogram in the middle of the table, an airy picture of a wristwatch popping up.Isla arched a brow, staring at the picture."This is going to be a crystal and Blue Flame Stones wristwatch. We’re mixing your crystals with our stones, and it forms a very beautiful image. I’m telling you, Mrs. Khan, if you stare at it, you wouldn’t want to look away."Damien added, "It’s like a very rare, charming wristwatch. Just a glance is never enough, you’d want to have it." His gaze fixed on Isla, his voice lowering to a whisper. "You’d kinda want all of it."Normally, he would have gotten a glare or an irritated look, but she didn’t show any reaction, her gaze moving back to her phone

Singapore; The Next Morning.As usual, a meeting was underway in the Khan boardroom. The members watched intently as Mr. Han presented the product.“Last meeting, Mrs. Khan asked for a sample of our idea, so the team came together to create what we imagined the crystal blue flame stone wristwatch would look like,” he announced, handing a mini-designed box to Isla and Damien.Isla opened it. A sharp white-greenish-blue glow burst out, washing her face with light. She squinted and leaned back slightly, trying to take the product in.The wristwatch was the most exquisite item she had ever set eyes on.“We’re looking at our next billion-dollar product,” one member whispered, earning murmurs of agreement as the others discussed under their breaths.Feeling satisfied, Mr. Han smiled at Damien. “What do you think of the product, Mr. Da Silva?”Damien nodded, a half-smile tugging at his lips. “I saw the success coming. I knew it would be good, but I didn’t know it would be this good.” Turning

LIt's been days since the Blue Empire Wristwatch was introduced to the public. In the world of business and luxury, the wristwatch was the number one trending topic globally. At this point, Isla was exhausted from traveling to multiple cities for promotion.The last thing she wanted was to have her image publicly associated with Damien, which was why she hated what Mr. Han was preaching to the board."There's been high demand for the Blue Empire all over Europe. I think it's best to have Mr. Da Silva and Mrs. Khan be present together for every press tour. It will really help both companies and the product," Mr. Han, standing in front of the Khan and Blue Flame heads, suggested.The clients muttered among themselves, nodding in agreement as they discussed Mr. Han's words.Isla wanted to oppose, but she had no reason to; it was a business requirement. Beside her, Damien was grinning. Isla huffed quietly, noting how he’d been having the best time of his life. She couldn't wait for their

"Thank you for your time and the lovely answers to the questions," the interviewer said politely behind the cameras."It's our pleasure." Damien smiled warmly.They exchanged friendly greetings with the other teams before Damien and Isla exited. Hugo was already waiting for them at their apartment."Where is our next stop?" Isla asked wearily. Traveling from country to country was not an easy assignment."We have Germany, Austria, the United Kingdom, and Greece," Hugo replied. Isla could already feel a rising headache, but this was exactly what she had committed to when she became a CEO."The team has arranged everything both of you will need for your next stop, and you don't have to worry this time. You will have separate rooms in Germany," Hugo assured them."Awwn, that's unfortunate, not when Mrs. Khan was just starting to enjoy my company." Damien feigned a sad expression, lifting his finger to mimic wiping imaginary tears from his eyes.Isla ignored him and turned to address Hugo
