[Maria]"For the time being, Ines will be driving you," Damian said over breakfast.I nodded. I thought that was for the best too. It wasn't that I was afraid of men. It was just that, for now, I didn't feel comfortable being alone in a confined space like a car with my male chauffeur. Besides, finding a new driver would mean having to learn to trust a stranger all over again.And Damian wouldn't let me go anywhere alone anyway.Not while the other perpetrator was still at large."But please, don't make Ines report everything to you.""I get it. I already told you. I'm really sorry," he said. "I have changed now. I have to do this so you'll trust me.""You're not going to put a tracker in the car or—""No, Maria. I swear." Damian looked at me seriously. "I don't want to make you hate me. This time, I'll do it the right way."Well, if that was true, I could finally breathe easier.After he left for work, I got ready to head out as well. It had been a long time since I'd attended my coo

[Maria]"Golden brown on the outside and cooked through on the inside," Mrs. Jones said as she set down the thermometer she had used to check the internal temperature of the chicken katsu I made. "Good job, Maria."Steph, Nancy, and Margie looked at me with smiles on their faces.Everyone in my group received praise today. It was the first time we had prepared the meal separately. I was responsible for the katsu, Steph made the rice and salad, while Nancy and Margie prepared the veggie curry.It was actually quite enjoyable being solely responsible for one dish. It felt like I was really cooking.“This is the last session of my general cooking class. Of course, you're welcome to apply to take the class again or try another one. But I think everyone has improved a lot since the first session," Mrs. Jones said to the class after evaluating everyone's dishes.I felt the same way. Then again, during the first session, I really couldn't do anything. I mean, that day I even managed to cut m

[Maria]Hearing those unexpected words, my eyes widened instantly. I even forgot how to blink. My brows furrowed in confusion as I looked at my father, who seemed completely serious.Me? The successor?"You're going to hand this company over," I asked uncertainly, "to me?""Yes."This was beyond anything I had expected."Right now, I have a professional serving as CEO. An outsider, not a member of our family. Obviously I can't leave my company to him," Father gestured toward me with his palm facing up. "It has to be you.""How many years in prison could Cecilia get?" I asked bluntly. "I know you're asking me to become your successor because Cecilia's been arrested. But maybe you won't need me if it's only one or two years? You could shorten her sentence, couldn't you?""Why would I?" Father snorted. "She has to take responsibility for what she's done."I had to admit, I was happy. Even if I was only the second choice, hearing Father take my side instead of Cecilia's made me feel chose

[Maria]A safe place...I couldn't stop thinking about what Damian had said this afternoon. It kept me from considering what my father had said.I couldn't help but think Damian was trying to manipulate me by saying that. Trying to cut me off from my family so I'd have no one left but him. It scared me a little.My father had just reached out to me, and Damian was trying to stop me from taking his hand.Damian didn't understand the dilemma I was in. People say blood is thicker than water. My father is the only person I'm related to by blood. No matter how little space there is for me in his heart, I'm still his daughter. At the very least, I want him to accept me as his daughter.As for marriage? I have to admit, it could end at any time.Especially with someone like Damian. If even my father could have another woman and have a child like me, then what about Damian? No one knows what the future holds. I haven't even known him for a year.How can he be so sure he can provide a safer pl

[Hannah]"In that case, I’d better start gathering the evidence."Kevin stood up, about to head to his room, but Hannah caught his hand and stopped him. She flashed a wide grin and patted the sofa beside her."For now, can't we just relax?" she said casually. "The night's still young.""Well, okay. If that's what you want. This is your business anyway." Kevin lay back down, resting comfortably against the sofa.Their arms brushed and pressed lightly against each other. That sweet fragrance reached her again. Hannah kept stealing glances at his expressionless face, yet for some reason, she felt strangely self-conscious.Ah, damn it. Come on. It's just Kevin, right?"Are you wearing perfume or something?""Huh? Why would I wear perfume inside my own place?"Hannah shifted away, putting a little distance between them. Just a few inches, the important thing was not to get too close so she wouldn’t smell it too strongly."Hey, order something. I'm hungry," Kevin said.Hannah had completely
