"Someone worth spending my time on."
"Well," Destiny stretched her hand towards him. He got the hint and stood on his feet.
"Wilhelm Grey.""Destiny Blackmore. Am I worth your time?"
" Of course, Pleasure meeting you. Have a seat." He gestured to the seat in front of him.
Destiny sat. Okay. So it's official. She's doing this with him.
He raised his gaze towards a waiter. He nodded and after a minute, he was by the table with water and a bottle of champagne.
"Which one do you think we start with, Destiny?"
She couldn't help noticing how nice it feels when he mentions her name instead of the 'Tiny' he normally says. She hoped that this little pretense would go on well without anyone having to rip each other's throat out.
"I’m okay with just water." Picking the bottled water, she poured some for herself. The last thing

“Well, It was mostly the nice things about you. For someone who wanted to get her brother to woo her friend, only that can be expected right?"Destiny's face heated in mortification. Oh so he knew. Now she's sure that Arabella deserves her strangle."And?""She also told me how super feisty you can be, stubborn and a slice of arrogance.""Is that all?"He nodded, clearing his plate to the side and raising a glass of water to his lips."I don't believe you."He went in thought for a while as if trying to remember the bits. "She told me something about your grandfather being the only closest relative. Does that even count? There's something else she told me though. He smirked mischievously."What is it?" Destiny's heart started beating. She prayed it wasn't anything embarrassing about her.But will Arabella do that?"That you married a virgin and if I had been fast enough, then I wou

Richard didn't look sad or heartbroken. If anything, he looked pissed. All that could be seen in his eyes was sheer hate. Maybe his heartbreak revoked that.His nostrils flared as his jawsclenched along with his fist beside him. The rapid rise and fall of his chest made it known that he was boiling inside and still trying to keep the lid on but his steam seems to overpower the energy required to keep the lid on. The contortion of his face made him look almost beastly, unrecognizable.And what Wilhelm asked definitely was enough to set any man who still wanted his wife back ablaze with anger right?"You're a shame, Destiny. I thought you were brought up better than this." Richard expressed his disappointment."If you cheat is cool but if she does, it’s a grave sin huh?" Wilhelm asked."You stay out of this. You don't know anything.""I know you cheated on her and she dumped your ass for me, end of story. What else is

"How on earth did he get to know anyway? I thought I paid off the waiter well enough." Destiny spoke out loud to herself."Well, did they not say Wilhelm is cunning? He must have outwitted the guy and made him spill or gave him five times of my tip. Worse, maybe the waiter is indiscreet. He easily fell in cahoots with Wilhelm I think." She snorted. "He couldn't even keep a common secret. What a shame!""Oh, why didn't I think of this earlier? They both have a flawless similar accent." Her eyes met her face in the mirror and she groaned."That is it then. I was the freaky American trying to turn them against each other. The villain."However,The actual villain is Arabella. If she had not set her up then maybe, just maybe, she could be herself with Arabella and freely tell her she wasn't satisfied after she had said the food was enough.And of course, Richard won't appear and think that she's dating the bastard who didn't kiss h

"So why can't you take on the work?" She turned to Dennis. She was about to step out of the house."What?""Why do you have to employ someone to be the CEO of your own family property?"She sighed. "I don't want to be out of your sight.""It doesn't matter anymore since I don't want you to.""Grandpa." Her eyes welled up. Hearing him say that is like a stab in the chest."You've been educated to the highest level, you're smart and efficient. You can be the CEO instead of employing someone you don't even know.""I know..." She wanted to say she knows him and that he's Arabella's brother but she bit her lips."I know I promised not to get involved anymore but this is Wilhelm Grey we're talking about here. He has also been fighting for the number one position in the market for a long-time. It will only take him a second to pull us down to get to the top.""Mr. Grey's company is into clubs and r

"Sure. It will be my pleasure.""Just kick it off already." She rolled her eyes impatiently."Did you see that look on Richard's face?" He asked thoughtfully."Excuse me? What look?""That look when I kissed you at the restaurant?""What?" She blushed violently. He's not going down that lane again is he?"Just answer me.""What has this got to do with my business and why the fuck the creep is here?""Just answer me." He repeated."No, I didn't. My back was to him obviously and..""And your eyes were closed when I was kissing you. Oh, what a shame! That kiss wasn't meant for you to enjoy Miss Blackmore.""Wilhelm!" She felt mocked and insulted."Oh, but you saw his face after you regained the breath I stole away from you. You were doing that with your head on my chest and I thought that was cheesy but anyway. Tell me what you saw."Destiny looked flustered. She bit

"Blackmore corp owns 60 percent of its properties and 40 by shareholders? Wow, that's impressive." Wilhelm recounted the brief dits Destiny presented."Yes. Are you jealous?" She smiled, pride lacing her voice.Wilhelm's eyes danced. "Oh, no-no. Why should I? My business is booming every day. I'm happy.""Great!""So you mean we're going to travel next week?" He asked, rubbing his stubbles thoughtfully."Yes and we're starting from Australia.""To New York, London, Asia, Russia, and..where else?" He asked."Paris." Destiny smiled. Though it's strictly business, she's happy she'd be traveling around the world again."It's going to take a year trust me.""No. Just a few weeks." She corrected him."It means we're not going to rest then.""Of course everyone will have a night's sleep.""I mean a little exploring. You get what I mean?""If that was the reason why w

As if her encounter with Richard wasn't enough, Dennis confronted her at dinner about it."Are you dating that Wilhelm guy, Destiny?"Destiny paused working her cutleries and stared at her grandpa. Without a word, she went back to eating."Is that why you broke up with Richard and fired him?" Dennis went on.Destiny dropped her cutleries. " You eavesdropped on our conversation earlier didn't you?""I don't know about anything you two discussed." He avoided eye contact."You've been talking to him then.""You chose not to talk to him again. I didn't pledge that oath now did I?.""You sure didn't but soon he's going to manipulate you to gang up on me.""I was never on your side.""Yes. Correct." Destiny bit her bottom lip harshly as she nodded."The young man is pleading—""I don't want to hear it." She cut him off sternly."Right." Dumbfounded, he chuckled silently. "What do

"Had a rough night, baby?"Destiny staggered back and raised her gaze, wondering why the man would suddenly talk to her in that manner and refer to her as 'baby.'Wilhelm.He was in a conversation with a man who has his back facing her but not for longer.He turned to Destiny and they both frowned at each other."What did he just say?" Richard inquired sharply.She looked at Wilhelm then back to Richard. 'Baby?' Slowly, realization dawned on her. In front of her is her new reality. She had to fall into character when she was less ready."I should be picking you up henceforth." Wilhelm padded to her and caressed her cheeks with the pad of his thumb. "Get rid of the astounded look and start acting." He whispered underneath his breath.She gulped, nodded a few times, and inhaled."Good. Now action." He took a step back from her."No, it's fine." She said,"I'm not taking No. I'm pic

“Hi.” She squeaked in a mixture of fake excitement and genuine nervousness. “I trust things are going well for you in London. What you went to do, how's it going?”After asking, she waited for his response and when it didn't come, she tapped on the dim screen to see if he dropped the call.But he was still on it.She sighed and leaned into the leather seat. “Look, I wasn't ignoring you. It's just…”“Just what?” He cuts her off.“Nothing.”“Nothing? Did you realize that you're ghosting me? How would you have felt if I was the one doing that to you?”“It's not me, and I know you don't give a fuck.”“Are you shitting me? How haven't you seen that I care for you?”“Care? But you don't love me.”“That's not what we're talking about.”“Really?”“You said you'll wait. You said you'll give it time.”“Oh, and then you expected me to have hope and wait when you're literally going back into the arms of your ex-girlfriends?”“What?”“ I don't want any heartbreaking surprises, and that's why I'm l

..........The buzzing of her phone woke her up. She blindly searched for it and when she finally got a hold of it, she answered without looking at the ID."I'm still in..." She was mumbling when she got cut off."Hi Des, it's...wait. Were you saying you're still in bed?"Destiny got up to a sitting position and begrudgingly rubbed her eyes. "Ara?""Yes, baby."Destiny rolled her eyes. "You sound cheery.""Of course. Wanna guess it?""You know I just woke up. My brain needs time before it starts functioning.""I'll buy your excuse.""So?""I'm going on a date.""Oh wow. You found someone or it's a man.""I found someone.""That's wonderful Ara. I'm really happy for you." Destiny got out of the bed, fully woken by Ara's good news."It doesn't mean I'm over you. I still love you, Des."Destiny sighed. It's been months and yet she's still saying that."My

.......After seven hours, her system automatically became restless. He started expecting a call or text from him.Slowly, the sun hid back behind its clouds and she was about to retire to bed herself.But could she sleep without talking to him?Her phone was beside her and she kept checking it every second. Every message tone, every incoming call sent her jumping up to reach her phone only to be disappointed.At eleven, she began to force herself to sleep as she was no longer sure he'd call her. Midnight and she was still struggling to sleep.She placed the phone on the bedside table and disappeared under the covers, shutting her eyes tight.It's not been a day since he left yet she miss him, so much. Even the bed she lays on keeps reminding her of him and how it had felt like with him on it.Just when she was really falling into slumber, her phone began to ring.

"Whatever you do, make sure you don't miss Christmas with me." She brushed her thumb over his beautiful lips while staring deep into his blue-green eyes.She feels so weak and helpless."I won't." He kissed her thumb."Come back soon." She whispered, her voice threatening to break."I will."She dropped her thumb, tightened their entwined hands, and leaned into him, resting her head against his arm.Sooner or later, she'd have to say goodbye and she's not ready for that.

The moment the elevator dinged, her heart leaped along with it but she didn't flinch and pretended to be engrossed. The closer his steps got, the more his fragrance filled her nostrils. Her insides tightened in excitement. He closed earlier than usual today. "Mmm...what is it you're reading?" He came around and kissed the corners of her lip. "Why do you wanna know? You never cared." She asked, smiling but never looking up from the book. "I've seen you go from scared to happy, in love and despair. More of despair. You've cried a bucket full already. I can't take it." He pitched in a sorrowful tone.

Destiny invited a waiting Ara to have breakfast with them. A very awkward breakfast.When it was over she asked Ara to her room but she declined."Outside then?""Is there not a seat on the balcony?""There is." Destiny breathed, clutching to the sides of her dress.When they got there, Destiny sat on the wicker chair, expecting her to join her but she didn't.The early morning sun of mid-July warmed Destiny's skin to the point of scorching. July weather in America has always been harsh. She looked down from the blinding sunlight while waiting for Ara to speak.Ara stood against the railings and placed her hand on it while her eyes remained below, taking in the
