I gave a firm nod."The designs you asked from Eric, he sent them to me instead of you " she said as she handed over her tablet to me."Hmm, they come out quite nicely but forward them to me so I can properly make my choice" I said , handing the tablet back to her "I'm sending it now , " she informed, clicking on some buttons."And done!"

I called and she turned to look at me."Mom?!" She called , her brows furrowed in surprise."For you" I whispered and handed her the rose I got ."Okay this is kind of embarrassing, " she said as she took it from me."Ofcourse not! It's so sweet " the girl said and she swatted her arms playfully.Zahra doesn't really have friends and now it's warming my heart to see that she's actually breaking down her ways and becoming friendly with other people."Good evening ma'am , I'm Ramona" she said stretching out her hands to me."It's nice to meet you Ramona" I said with a small smile."Trent!" The other guy said and I nodded with a smile."Nice to me

Damon's POV"Really?!" I murmured to myself as I walked along the passage and downstairs.Now what could be his reason for lying? I clearly heard him say he had to do this on his own because Diane bailed out .So why is he telling me not to worry about it and Diane will do all the dirty work?!Why I can't really understand now is why he lied ? Is Lilian's words finally coming to pass.Is he trying to get rid of me now? Because what did I ever do to him.I diverted and walked up to my old room in his house .Ever since Lilian died , what she said before she died always did ring a bell in my head but I've managed to push it aside all these years.But coming to think of it , have I been played?! Lilian and I were adopted by him just the same way , but I got to live with him , Lilian was taken to a boarding school.So she didn't get the chance to be close to him like I am , if he could end her life just like that , then what exactly gives me the assurance that the same won't happen to me.
