“That’s… amazing,” I finally managed to say, forcing excitement into my voice even though the words tasted bitter in my mouth. She laughed again, that same mocking edge in her tone. “Isn’t it? Damien and I are meant to be together. We just lost our way for a while.”I didn’t respond. What could I possibly say to that? After a few more agonizing minutes, we finally got to Damien’s mansion. Cloris got down from the car and walked to the door like she was the one who owned the place. She didn’t even wait for me to turn off the engine nor did she make to carry her luggage- not like she needed to anyways, I was the designated maid after all. I walked in behind her and she dropped her bag before she turned to face me. “Is Damien home now?” She asked, looking around the house with a big smile on her face. “I have no idea,” I replied her sincerely. “Last I saw him was at the office.”“Of course you wouldn’t,” she said sarcastically before walking past me. I followed her, the knots in my

“How am I supposed to just take your word for it and believe that she’s just your friend, hmm?” I asked, already tired of arguing with him. “You need to believe it because I’m telling you the truth, what would I gain from lying to you?” He said in a soft voice, sounding like he was tired of the whole back and forth. “Amanda, I would never lie to you.”I hesitated, my walls slowly crumbling under his steady gaze. “You really mean that?”He stepped even closer, his hands gently resting on my arms. “I mean it. Cloris and I are just friends. Whatever she’s feeling- that’s on her, not me. And I’m sure she doesn’t have any for me.”I wanted to believe him. I needed to believe him. But the lingering doubt in my heart refused to be silenced.“And what if she tries something?” I asked, my voice barely audible. “Then I’ll make sure I deal with it and put an end to anything that has to do with her,” he replied me, his tone firm and leaving no room for argument. “But, I need you to trust me jus

The meeting was uneventful, but the tension in my chest didn’t ease. Every glance, every touch between Damien and Cloris felt like a dagger while I was also trying my best to make sure I paid enough attention so I could jot down the important details of the meeting.After the meeting, Damien shook hands with them and Cloris was still beside him like she was stuck to him or something. We finalized everything she went back to the car, in the journey to the next location, the dynamic remained the same. Cloris dominated the conversation, recounting stories from their past while Damien indulged her with smiles and laughter.“Amanda,” Cloris said suddenly, her tone sharp. “Could you pass me my bag? It’s right behind your seat.”I turned, grabbed her designer bag, and handed it to her without a word.“Thank you, at least you’re good for something,” she said with a fake smile in her face. I looked at Damien, expecting him to say something or even defend me but instead he remained quiet she a

After going to bed with a nagging headache, I woke up the next morning with a strange heaviness in my heart but I wasn’t going to allow it ruin my day. After everything that had happened the day before, I had made up my mind to focus on getting my mission done and also stop getting bothered by whatever Damien and Cloris did, because our relationship was private and it didn’t matter what he did in public. Their relationship, whatever it was, was their business. Not mine.I repeated that mantra to myself as I got dressed for work, pulling on my favorite blazer and neatly combing my hair into a low bun. Today wasn’t about Damien. Today was about me. My job, my goals, and my peace of mind. If Damien wanted Cloris, fine. That was his choice. But I wasn’t going to lose my mind or keeping feeling hurt because of him, I knew what I was getting into. I let out a small sigh before grabbing my bag, walking out of my apartment and headed to take the bus to work. Before I walked into the office

I didn’t want to risk Cloris carrying out her threat so I stayed away from Damien and sanded him like the plague. If I saw him coming, I passed the other side, if he called, I transferred it to voicemail. I even stopped going to meetings to avoid being in the same space as him and risking a personal contact with him. It was hard but definitely not impossible, I could feel Cloris’ eyes on me whenever she same to the company. It felt like she could see through me, and if I didn’t like living my life on somebody else’s terms, I had no choice but to do this. It had been week since I stared ignoring Damien and I could tell that he was already noticing something was wrong but I paid him no mind. I had always gone to work, sort out the documents that I had to and used my extra time to keep trying to find information on Ryan but that too was difficult. I was currently in my office, going through the stack of documents that were on my table when Damien walked past with Cloris by his side. M
