I walked towards the desk and picked up one of the papers. It was court papers. Prenuptial Agreement was boldly written at the top of the paper and I swallowed. I scanned the document and realised it was an agreement between me and Lorenzo. So, he really create court papers to protect his money. The money I never wanted. I couldn't blame him, though.

She had thought Damian would call her to continue reading but he hadn't sent for her since he left for the bathroom. Lunch was delicious and she loved it. It felt like everything was actually back to normal for her. She was eating good food, Sean and her were sort of cool and Damian wasn't bothering her. She finished up and lay on her bed and continued to read. As she turned the next page of her book, a paper slid out. There was a note on it. "Never regret any decision you make." The paper was old and worn out. It had probably been in the book for months or even years now. There was no signature on the paper or name. It wasn't even addressed to anyone.

I looked over the papers, but I could not concentrate on the words. My heart raced at the menacing tone in his voice. "What does that mean?" I tried to sound steady, but my voice shook as I asked.

In the morning, Sergio usually sent instructions about my tasks, but we didn’t always do this every day, only when there was an important job. After replying to Sergio’s messages, I decided to read some articles on social media while waiting for my skincare to absorb so I could start my makeup. "Now you're ignoring me and choosing to play on your phone?" Chris grumbled behind me as he buttoned his shirt. I ignored him, just like what he said.
