DEAN'S POV

I haven't been myself ever since I left. I found it hard to go back ever since I left. I thought she had finally accepted me and made up her mind to forget about Oliver, but seeing how pale she was at the engagement party, I knew I stood no chance against Oliver.

I was feeling guilty seeing how miserable she looked.

I made up my mind after dropping her off at her apartment to leave the city for a while, but that was the dumbest idea ever. I should have stayed behind to fight for her love.

I had known her for only a couple of months, but it just felt like I had known her like forever. I couldn't stand watching her pine for someone who would be married to someone else in a matter of weeks.

I packed up my things and decided to leave. I came by her apartment to tell her about how I felt and my plans to leave.

I stood at her door for hours contemplating my options, but I wasn't ready to learn the truth, so I decided to leave without telling her.

I thought maybe it would give he

    I could swear I saw that guard standing behind me the day Ellen visited me; normally I shouldn't have recalled, but they scared the shit out of me."What is he doing here?" I asked myself, hurriedly walking into the building, hoping Ellen didn't send him here to kill me just because I called Oliver. I mean, that will be madness, but it isn't beneath her anyway."Hey," I heard a male voice yelling behind me, and I quickly increased my pace, almost running."Hey, stop," he kept yelling, but something was off about him; he wasn't yelling at the top of his voice; it was more like he didn't want to attract attention to himself.But I will be damned to stand around and find out what he wanted."Stop, I just want to talk," he said in a whispering tone.I stabbed the elevator button with my fingers, occasionally looking back to see if he had caught up with me.The elevator door pulled open, and I quickly ran inside, stabbing the button to close faster.The door was almost closed when he stuck

    "I have always hated noisy places, but what could I do when my so-called date chooses a bar over every goddamn nice restaurant in the city? These billionaires and their weird tastes," Charmaine thought.I can't begin to explain how I'm feeling right now; my bodycon gown and 3 inch heels are really becoming too uncomfortable for me. If he had given me the slightest clue as to where we are headed tonight, I wouldn't even dare wear these. Well, I'm going to endure it all."Look at the big picture," she muttered to herself while patting her chest gently.Nothing good ever comes easy, and if going on these blind dates is going to take me out of poverty, then I would gladly suffer and smile.Let me rewind a bit to where it all began. I know some of you are a bit confused.My name is Charmaine Raven. I graduated college a few years ago, and just a few months after graduation, I got a job with CBS News as a reporter. I don't really mean to gloat, but I'm the real deal.I have carefully plann

    It was a beautiful morning, and the very thought of spending the rest of my life on money made it splendid.I went about my day wearing a broad smile and greeting every single person I met. I carefully selected everything I needed for the dinner date and visited the saloon earlier for finishing touches before I rushed home to dress up.It was 7 p.m. when my phone rang, I picked it up, and it was him.Yeah, I mean him, my prince charming with running over pocket. I looked out the window, and there were three SUVs parked outside. I grabbed my clutch and dashed out.He wasn't as handsome as he looked in the picture, but who cares? Money covers everything, and besides, who cares about looks when he is loaded?He steals glances at me once in a while. I knew I charmed him already, but I still need to keep my A game up.All the way to God knows where he was taking me I had a lot of things I imagined were waiting for me where he was taking me.

    "Charmer," I heard Oliver's voice from where I was sitting patiently waiting for him."Just the voice I want to hear," I whispered to myself. I clutched my hands together in an embrace to shield my body from the ferocious cold.I had stormed off the bar before I realized that I wasn't dressed properly for the terrible cold outside.Seeing what a terrible state I was in, Oliver took off his jacket and put it on me.He helped me stand to my feet. I knew how much he wanted to taunt me, but he was scared that I would burst into tears if he ever did.We got to his car, and he helped me in before going around to get us out of this stupid place.I couldn't protest when Oliver insisted on taking me home; I was in no state for arguments, and he wasn't ready to listen to me anyway.It was a beautiful white mansion; his father gave it to him on his 20th birthday.He didn't want to work for his father, yet he enjoys the benefits of being born loaded."What a world" He led me to his bedroom, cove

    The beautiful smell of coffee saturated the air as I stood waiting for my turn at a coffee shop.I don't know about you, but taking coffee every morning helps recharge my system for the battle that awaits me at the office.I mean, I love my job, and I'm practically good at it, but it's so overwhelming that I would give anything to stop working.My captain isn't helping matters; I mean, her sole aim of waking up every morning is to make my life miserable at the office.I mean, I wasn't the lady that snatched her husband away from her, but why she is hellbent on making life at work miserable and dreadful beats my imagination.I have rehearsed a couple of times how I would shove my ID card down her throat when I finally get my prince charming."Good morning"I greeted two of my colleagues standing outside, taking a smoke. Well, good for them. Mrs. Tanner would have my head for coming to work late. I wonder what she would think if I had to excuse myself early in the morning to take a smo

    I know I told you guys that I'm optimistic about this date, but honestly, I'm second-guessing it.All through the ride to our destination, I was still in disbelief that I had experienced that sh*t back there. Well, it's too early to pass judgment on him yet; I should give him the benefit of the doubt, right?"You don't seem too comfortable; is anything the matter?" I heard Damon ask."I'm perfectly fine," I said, faking a smile while trying to cover up my sour countenance."You look rather ravishing tonight."Well, he can be a lot of things, but he was sure right about one thing: I dressed to charm, and I guess it is working."Thank you." I raised the bouquet up while I inhaled it.It actually smelled lovely; the soothing smell of the roses helped calm my nerves and made me a bit more comfortable.The car came to a halt, and his men opened the door for us to get down.It was a fancy restaurant with beautiful scenery; thank God he didn't take me to a bar like one pervert that I know.W

    I opened my eyes to the sound of my alarm clock. I lay down on the bed, wondering what I had just dreamt about. The more I thought about it, the more disgusted I felt. I didn't dream about Damon's hard, hot body pressing on mine, but Olivers."Ewwh," it was really grossing me out. I looked around, and that was when I noticed that I was actually in my bedroom."I can't remember falling asleep here," I thought to myself. Of course Oliver carried me into my bed. I jumped off the bed to find out what had happened to my mischievous best friend. I saw him in my kitchen making breakfast.I kept mute for a while. I wanted to understand why I had dreamt about him. There was nothing so appealing about him; he didn't grow any inch taller than he was, his hair was a bit scattered, and it was the same Oliver, who, although born with a diamond spoon, refused to work for his family. I was grossed out just looking at him.I made up my mind to visit the clinic today, and since there is no logical expl

    "Let me guess: he gave you a red rose bouquet, threw flower petals at your feet, or, would I say, in your face, took you to an expensive dinner; oh before I forget, did he reserve the whole restaurant?" She asked me."Who are you?" I asked, wearing a confused expression."I guess he did," she said smiling wickedly."Who is she?" I turned to Damon, who has been mute the whole time."Hold on, honey, I'm not yet done," the lady continued."Now here is the best part: the next morning he bought you an expensive jewelry, telling you how beautiful it looked and how it reminded him of you."I was more confused than ever. Who she is and how she knows so much about what transpired between Damon and me is one thing I don't know."Sorry, do I know you?""Oops, I nearly forgot. Did he tell you that your eyes are to die for and beg you to put on the jewelry tonight?" She queried me, and before I could reply, she glanced at my neck and ear, then nodded."Of course he did; he just doesn't ever change

    I haven't seen Oliver ever since the incident with Ellen; at first, I was pissed, hoping to see him and return the slap, but when I remembered he gave me a video of Carson trafficking young girls, I became scared for him.I worried that he must have told her those things because he was scared. But I couldn't bring myself to call him; the last thing I want is another visit, from Ellen. But anyway, I was kind of glad it wasn't Carson or Geoffrey; it wouldn't have gone after the slap, and maybe it would have been a bullet to my head.I was still lost in thought thinking about what best to do and how to go about it when I heard my phone ringing. I grabbed the phone from my desk, hoping to be done with the call before Tanner caught me.She is literally on my neck lately; I guess Geoffrey threatened the shit out of her when he came for Barker's file and she decided to take it out on me like she always did.One look at the caller ID, and I was pissed. I thought I made it clear that I didn't

    I opened my mouth to say something, but it closed right back. He started from Oliver to me, then back to Oliver. I have no idea what was going through his mind, but I would give everything to find out."Hi, Dean, you're back," I blurted out, running my fingers through my hair."Yes, I came back a few days ago," his gaze was still on my hair. But then it hit me; did he just say he came back a few days ago; he couldn't call me since he came back."Maybe he lost his phone," I thought to myself."Oh, what are you doing here?" I asked him, hoping that would make him forget all about me."I have an appointment with Oliver," my gaze shifted to Oliver."Yeah, yeah, I forgot the brunch," he said, checking his time."What brunch?" I asked confused."Uh, the club is holding a brunch later today," Oliver explained."Oh," I spat out, taken aback.For the love of God, he had the time to attend a brunch but didn't bother seeing me after how we left things."I should go," I quickly said, turning to l

    To think I was taking shit from the security guy to find out more about the shipment only for Oliver to hand it over to me on a platter without ass-licking anyone. I felt the urge to shove my foot down the security guy's throat but decided not to. I have always known that our system was dysfunctional, but I never imagined that our system was rotten to this extent.For heaven's sake, why would he traffic these little girls in a container halfway across the world? I could feel my blood boiling and my muscles cringing while watching the video.But one thing still baffles me: where do they all go? I mean, the girls. He gets the shipment every month; where does he keep these girls?It takes a lot of work and connection to keep this kind of deal off the police and the media raiders. I was lost in my world losing track of time. I looked up from the video I was watching to see Oliver dozing off with his head leaning on the window.I sighed, "He has gotten thinner." I whispered to myself; he

When I should be covering better cases, I think Tanner is back to her usual self now.When I mean back, I mean back to torment me, because tell me what the heck is this?I was getting frustrated by the stupid case, and my throat was getting dry, I was about to get myself something to drink when someone pushed a cup of coffee to me.I stopped, staring at Kevin as he stood there smiling. "You look beautiful when you are working hard," he said, smiling. I was confused at first wondering what he was on about, then it hit me."He isn't hitting on me," I whispered to myself, staring like a moron while he was acting like he just handed me the world."I have lost my charm, I'm doomed," I murmured."Enjoy," he waved, smil

    It's been one week since the incident at the office, but why the gray sedan was still on my ass beats me.It was more like a third leg following me everywhere. I was in the room one evening preparing to step out for a date. Yes, I know what you are thinking.I am not going to let any man tie my ass down, nor will I allow anyone to kill my dreams.That dream of living in wealth and affluence, I checked myself out in the mirror, and I was looking so good.I picked up my clutch and my phone to step out.

    "Hey, what just happened?" Malcolm asked, looking all worried. I was surprised to see him here of all places."What are you doing in this neighborhood?" I asked him." I came to see a friend, I was about to leave when I noticed what was happening," he explained."Are you okay? What was that about?" he queried. "Oh, it's nothing much; I just picked up a difficult case," I quickly said while trying not to mention anything concerning the Carson's. I don't want him running off to tell Oliver a thing. "Are you sure? That guy was about to stab you, Charm." "It's fine; I will be more careful from henceforth, and I will make an entry at the station," I said while I tried leaving. "Charm, I don't think it's a great idea to walk alone tonight; after that," he said, holding my hand and dragging me along. I didn't bother fighting because it didn't seem like I stood any chance. We drove home silently without saying a word. I noticed his concerned stares, every now and then, but I didn't say a

    One look at the caller, and he quickly excused himself. I took a sneak peek at his phone, and it had Ellen as the caller. I wonder what I was expecting anyway. I waved him off and went downstairs after a few minutes to see Dean speaking to Oliver. I couldn't help but imagine what he could be telling Dean with all seriousness if not to warn him to stay away from me. "Hey, is everything okay?" I was beginning to get worried." Dean asked the minute I came over. "Sorry, I should have called; I ran into a friend and had a little catching up," I said. "Oh, ok," Oliver gave me a side eye, but I ignored it. I walked away from both men with the excuse of getting something to eat. I took a plate to dish out food from the feast right before me. "The puppy has a new owner now." I heard Mrs. Caine's voice from behind me, but I ignored her anyway. The last thing I want is another confrontation with her.
