Brooke watched the movie by curling up in Nathan’s arms. She so wanted to find someone to love her just as much as Johnny loved Baby in the movie. Then came the part where Baby confesses just how she feels about Johnny and Brooke was floored. “Me? I’m scared of everything. I’m scared of what I saw, I’m scared of what I did, of who I am, and most of all I’m scared of walking out of this room and never feeling the rest of my whole life the way I feel when I’m with you.”

The company was preparing to host a major client from Qamaria. So, I pulled three straight all-nighters to put together a flawless reception plan. Unfortunately, I made a critical mistake in the middle of all that work. I completely forgot about the Qamarians' restrictions regarding the consumption of pork. By the time I realized my blunder, the menu featuring roast suckling pig had already been submitted to the catering department and could no longer be recalled. I slumped at my desk, my back drenched in cold sweat. If the client took offense, not only would the $300 million contract fall through, but I'd likely also be blacklisted by the entire industry. Just as I despaired and opened

Desire burns in his eyes as he scans me from head to toe. I clear my throat and grin at him. I hate myself for what I'm about to do. But fùck it. "Truth or Dare, Damien." "Dare." His voice is husky. "I dare you to fùck me." ***

5 YEARS LATER. Vega POV. "I dare you to hit the casino tonight. We need to waste some money" Andrianna said, her hair bouncing as she jumped excitedly. I glanced up from the paperwork in front of her, then shook my head. "I'm busy and I have to get this done before tomorrow so I won't be taking that dare". Andrianna rolled her eyes.

For now, focus on getting your strength back. Your father still needs you." Seeing my distress, Liora shifted the topic to Grayson and his accomplices. After their arrest, the Vale family pulled every string to try to free them. But this time, they'd hit a brick wall.

"Sure…" Denise agreed, glancing at Bree before giving Jake another quick look. With the absence of the women, Daxon finally spoke up, "That's why I avoid falling in love – it disrupts life. Women like them create chaos in the group." Jeru grinned in agreement, "True. I'm the actor here, but it seems like I've been watching a scene from a movie all along," he chuckled.

But even if I had slept with a girl before, I know better than to lay their names down before these clowns. Chatters went on, but I didn't care. Jackie gently squeezed my hand, trying to make me feel better. Dav went ahead and collected the cards, played with them and served them again. I'm hoping Carlson won't take it upon himself to do that dare, maybe I will be safe. This time, a girl got up to do the dare. "Card number 8 and 6, I dare you to kiss and make out before everyone!" Wow! I thought Carlson was just being a jerk, but this girl...she's on another level.

Upon reaching the designated organizer club's base camp, which turned out to be a house near the model agency's office in the city corner, Lea and Grace entered and explained their purpose of coming to collect a package from Daisy. As expected, Daisy was not there. Club members were present only outside their varied working hours. A model's working hours are indeed unpredictable.

I answer. “Oh. I didn't know that.” “Now you do.” I face Amanda. “Are you on your way home?” It takes a second for Amanda to look at me (luckily, Dare didn't catch her before she looked away). I mentally prepare myself to tease her when we get home. “Not yet. I still need to go to the library,” she says. “Okay. And you?” I ask Dare.

Dapo retorted, looking glumly as he got up and sat some paces away from his chimney of a friend. They were in one of Dare's houses on the mainland. It was a portable bungalow tucked away in the heart of Surulere, a secluded place in Lagos where Dare carried out his illicit, clandestine affairs.
