Kieran was wearing an elegant navy jacket with a blue shirt under that matched his eyes and black slacks. He was also wearing his best Italian shoes. In spite of himself, he used his favorite cologne for additional confidence.
He was early by ten minutes because he was a gentleman.
Of course, he wanted to be early so he could watch out for his blind date. The businessman reasoned to himself that he could still refuse politely if he didn't like what he saw. He liked being prepared.

After their first date, they started to spend more time together over the next week. They realized that they suited each other quite well. Both of them liked the idea that they could do whatever they wanted, see whomever they wished or say whatever was running in their mind to the other person without fearing their reaction. Neither of them set any limits to each other as agreed upon on their first official meeting. They could date other people, they could sleep around and they could end their connection anytime. Neither of them can be jealous or restrictive. If either of them wanted to see other people, they were free to do so. That's the deal between the two of them.

Imogen was absently sketching a mountain landscape in colored pencils while singing under breath when she heard a knock on the door of her office. It was a lovely space decorated in a feminine, modern and minimalist style with a glass wall facing the rest of the office as well as floor-to-ceiling windows. She decorated the room in cream with splashes of lilac and blue. There were always fresh flowers like roses or hydrangeas in the vases, thanks to Kieran. As the Head of Marketing of her mother's successful toy company, she was usually swamped with back to back meetings. The last Friday of the afternoon was always hectic and busy. She didn't find it unusual when she found out that her schedule for this afternoon was empty. It was usually packed to the gills but it was not completely out of the ordinary.

"There it is," Imogen said excitedly as Kieran parked his Audi Q4 in front of a quaint, little house that was painted in yellow with white trimmings and a tall red gate. It was a modest residence that could house a small family comfortably. Even though they were standing outside, they could feel the cozy aura that was emanating from the property through the lacy white curtains. Kieran noticed that she was smiling even more brightly. His heart softened and he wished that he could also live in a modest house that had white curtains and yellow paint with Imogen. "This is where my best friend and her family lives." Imogen told him, smiling. He watched her skip like a girl towards the doorbell and then pressed it eagerly. "It's only fair to introduce you

A few days later, Imogen’s life was turned upside down again. She should have expected the invitation to come sooner. It was only a few days after her impromptu date with Kieran at the orphanage when she received the nuptial invitation. Yaya Marie looked both angry and apologetic when she handed her the mail as her beloved ward sat down to breakfast with her mother in the formal dining room that Sunday in their mansion at Forbes Park. Imogen wanted to scream because she didn't want to look at it. Grace under pressure, she muttered to herself. I must be graceful if they are vulgar. The young heiress took a deep breath and looked down again at the elegant cream-colored

"Why are you all here? I thought it was just dinner for four." "Don't be so jealous, Tommy," the Hernandez twins chorused. "You're not the only one he called." "That is true," Emma said agreeably. "Kieran wanted all of us to be here."

Imogen's stomach was full of butterflies as she entered Bon Sejour. Kieran had called her earlier that afternoon to ask her out to dinner. She immediately canceled her last meeting to accomodate his request and went home to get ready. Her skirt suit and heels were replaced with a lovely lavender A-line dress and wedge heels. She did her hair in a half-up and half-down style so her bangs and some tendrils of hair framed her oval face. She also swiped on a deeper shade of pink on her lips but kept her makeup as simple as possible. Although she was surprised that he was asking her out on a Monday, she didn't ask. She wanted to talk to him too. The waiter led her towards a corner table where he was waiting. Her eyes drank in the sight of her dinner companio

Kieran had trouble remembering how they returned to her hotel room the next morning. It was a blur, even to him. They were both drunker than he thought.Kieran was a lightweight drinker but Imogen was quite used to drinking her way through a bar. It was amusing to think that a petite woman like her could hold her liquor and he couldn't. Anyway, he wasn't sure if it was because of the strong Scotch that he ordered or it was because of Imogen. All that he could remember in his drunken haze was that they had locked the door behind them and how he had roughly pushed her up against it. He couldn't get enough of her. What Kieran wanted was Imogen’s lips and neck. Her moans told him the same thing.

The whole world was filled with bright red roses or so it seemed to Imogen as she stepped inside the huge cathedral in Kieran's arm. She couldn't see his face in the glaring afternoon sunshine so she looked away. The dark king tucked her hand inside his arm more firmly as they walked inside the large, breathtaking Church of the Sacred Heart in Singapore. His warmth and solid figure beside her was enough to ground her to the saddest day of her life. Her date didn't say anything but his silence was golden. After the accidental meeting with Henry on Friday, they went out for the entire day of Saturday. They went to a zoo, a museum and to a film. Imogen took her camera along and took plenty of pictures of her handsome host to share with Isabel. Th
