Lila remembered the name from the last party she was at, and she tried to tell her brother that going on that date was not going to work, but he was adamant about it, and she did not want to overly resist and give him a reason not to help her. She did not have any advantage, and she was at his mercy, so she had to do what he wanted, at least for now. She took slow steps as she walked to one of the tables in the coffee shop. Oliver had suggested fancy dining for their blind date, but she had turned it down and asked that they meet in broad daylight and at a coffee shop. She was not going to allow him to have a reason to want to be with her. This blind date had to flop, and she was going to make sure. As soon as she secured her seat, she went up to the counter to get a drink for herself, and since it was blazing hot outside for some reason when it had poured continuously through the night, she got an iced coffee for herself. She sat and waited, hoping he would not show up. She sipped

"So what do you say about my offer?" Lila asked as they stood outside waiting for her cab to arrive. Damien wondered what kind of girl she was and how she was so simple. He had expected her to show up in some fancy dress and shoes, but she wore an ordinary, no-brand-name t-shirt and a pair of jeans with slip-on tennis shoes. Instead of having one of the drivers at her house pick her up, she was using a taxi service. Damien could not figure her out because it seemed all he knew about her did not match what he saw currently, and he knew that would be much of a hassle for him."I will think about it and you will hear my conclusion from your brother," he said. She nodded as she watched her taxi pull up in front of her and roll down the window."Here for Ms. Carson, the man said, and she nodded with her hands waving in the air."That is me," she said, going to the back seat. Before her hand could touch and pull on the handle, the door opened in front of her. She looked up to him. "I could

"Why would I hurt myself?" Damien asked, looking up from the file in his lap to Sam, who sat there staring at him. "I am doing this to relieve myself of the pain I have been feeling for the past three years. Only if I do this can I rest.""Are you sure about that?" Sam asked."Why won't I be sure?" Damien shook his head and flipped the page of the file in hand."Because I do not think that you can achieve peace by doing this.""I have been beating myself up all this while because I have been unable to do anything for Amber; this is the only way I can make that girl pay and still allow Amber to be pleased."Sam wanted to scream at Damien to wake up, but he knew it was going to be a waste of time to do that. He had made up his mind to do this, and anything said now was just going to be like beating a rock. He was not going to find fulfilment or fill the hole with revenge, but he knew that forgiveness was not an option for him with this woman."Tell me the plan," Sam said out of the blue

Arietta sat there looking at Oliver; she wanted to scream at him and ask him if she had just wasted three months of her life trying to make this work but he did not even try and now he thought it was so easy so he could just break it off with her just like that. She cleared her throat and shifted until she was at the edge of her seat."Do you not like me?" she asked because it felt like she had misunderstood him all this while. She thought he was just an aloof man who liked to hide his feelings deep in his soul. She thought that he was the kind of man who masked his emotions with a stone face. Was she wrong? Did he not have any feelings for her?"I do not." The words as it left his mouth drove straight to her heart like a dagger that was thrust in and turned from side to side. She blinked and swallowed the lump in her throat."You do not?" she said, closing her eyes tightly as the memories of the past month flooded her heart. She could recount all of the things that had happened so we

Lila rushed and ran in his direction, and she was able to get to him before he could get into his room. "Wait!" she called from the distance and rushed to him."What is it?" he asked coldly. Lila wondered if this was the same man who had just been distraught a few minutes ago. How was he so cold that he was able to suppress and bury all of the emotions she felt and now acted like he had no emotions in the world? She bit the insides of her cheek in annoyance. She wished he would show emotions as he used to and just live a normal life."You said if I went on this blind date you would let me visit the family of the deceased; I want to do that tomorrow," she announced, and he shook his head."You can't," he said in a tone that told her to argue because his words were the law. She did not care about it anyway; he was to use it with his staff and not with her because it was not going to work."That was not our agreement," she said, ready to get into a fight with him if need be."Was it?" he
