Sinjin took Eds to a fancy beachfront seafood restaurant and reserved the most private room available. It was amusing to think that he had wanted to be in view of other people when he was with Brittany, yet now he preferred to be alone with Eds. He ordered marinated crab meat salad, and Eds had the same, accompanied by red wine.They ate in silence, which was quite unusual for them since they always had something to say. Both were aware of the awkwardness but had no idea how to break it."I recently acquired an airline," Sinjin said. "Seafare Airlines.""Really?" Eds was surprised. "I heard the company was struggling, and the CEO was on the verge of declaring bankruptcy.""I've always wanted to go into aviation," he said. "I was happy when Castillo approached me with the offer. I paid him twice what he was asking for.""Will you change the name? You won't lay off the employees, right?" she asked, looking worried."No, I won't change the name either," he assured her. "The company will
Sinjin pulled to a stop in front of the apartment building, turned off the ignition, and looked at Eds. He still couldn't believe she had agreed to marry him. Although he wanted to kiss her, he resisted the urge to do that. He had to remember that he had assured her there was no need for an intimate relationship in their marriage, so kissing her was not an option.He was glad he hadn't married Mallucia, because he wouldn't have met Eds and her sons. Mallucia would definitely have continued seeing Lucas behind his back, and the divorce would have been nasty."I'll pick you up tomorrow so we can go shopping for your ring," he said. "What time should I get here?""Um... Anytime. It's Saturday after all. My shift starts at noon," she answered."Okay. I'll be here at nine," he said."I'll be ready," she smiled.He unfastened his seatbelt, exited the car, came around to open her door, helped her out, and shut the door."I had a lovely time with you," he said."Me too." she smiled."I'll wal
At exactly nine a.m., Sinjin arrived to pick up Eds, only to be surprised when he realized they were both wearing matching outfits: flannel shirts, jeans, and the same shoes. They stared at each other in shock before erupting in laughter."Oh, it's like you're married already," Sande remarked, clasping her hands together under her chin. "So sweet.""Is this okay?" Eds asked, gesturing to her outfit."It's fine. I like that we're matching," he replied."Um... Sinjin?" Troy called."Yes?" Sinjin replied, turning to smile at Troy."Can I talk to you for a second, please?""Of course," Sinjin nodded."Let's go upstairs," Troy said."Lead the way," Sinjin replied. Five minutes later, Sinjin returned with Troy and Tristan, all three of them sporting damp eyes as if they had been crying. Eds and Sande exchanged puzzled glances but didn't bother asking what the matter was.Eds guessed that Troy and his brother must have asked Sinjin something quite sensitive for him to have tears in his eyes

A week later Sinjin had been delaying introducing Eds to his parents because he knew exactly how it would go. His mother was someone who only cared about her own feelings and often disregarded those of others. He feared she might say something hurtful to Eds. While he wished he could prevent this, he couldn't marry Eds without his parents' blessing. So, with a heavy heart, he invited her to have lunch with his family, and she agreed, knowing that meeting his parents as his fiancée was inevitable. She wore her Sunday best: a sleeveless white floral print knee-length dress and black flats, her hair styled in a loose bun with wavy tendrils framing her face.Sande had helped her choose the outfit. It was classy, making her feel appropriately dressed, and her purse was a limited edition designer piece. She hoped to impress his parents, but based on their attitude towards her months ago, she knew that if she wasn't from a wealthy family, they wouldn't be interested in getting to know her.

He now had to schedule appointments with her manager or assistants just to see his own girlfriend, and even then, it was a rarity if she appeared.He was aware that his accident had affected her deeply, just as it had impacted him an
After slipping it on and feeling a little better, he shut the door, locked the car, and approached the people in the alleyway. Three men stood there: two holding knives, while the last, who looked like the leader, was busy going through the woman's bag."You don't have any money?" The man demanded. "How can you not have any money? You work four jobs, Eds." "I know. They aren't enough to pay my bills and..." She began to babble."Blah blah blah. Excuses, excuses," The leader cut her off, tossing her bag to the ground. "You remember what I told you I'd do to your boys if you don't pay me my money?""Please, don't hurt them," She pleaded, dropping to her knees. "Give me a month.""Because of my love for you, I gave you six months, Eds," The leader reminded her. "I don't do that and you know it.""Please," She sobbed. "Please.""How about this? You give me your body and I'll let you off the hook for now?""What?" She stared wide-eyed at him. "No!" She exclaimed."Really?" The leader chuc
