DIANA The drapes lifted to reveal the piece.I held my breath as it was unveiled, at first glance, the bulbous texture of the glass work made it appear like crystalline clouds, but the way it flowed upwards, each glass cloud intricately rising and stacking together, revealed a futuristic tower, the hues of blue on the piece dancing together and separating under different angles and rays of light.My work.I stared at it with furrowed brows. It was hard not to judge myself, my work. But I knew I put so much into this.So much. It was so hard to put the pieces back together, and create this.Luckily for me, there was a welder not too far from the hotel, and he understood my vision. Hopefully everyone else understood it too. And they did. The collective gasps that filled the room and looks of astonishment littered the faces of the guests in the room as they gazed at the piece made a smile grow on my face. They loved it.Like they were on a hunt for the biggest photo opportunity, Th

DIANA.My eyes popped open in utter shock as I fell to the chair, an anvil of disbelief weighing me down. “Dee?” Lily’s voice was sharp through the speaker as I stared at my screen. “Dee, are you there??” She cried out, but I couldn’t hear her.All I could focus on was the video playing. I couldn’t believe my eyes. I hoped so hard that it wasn’t, but it couldn't be mistaken. She was wearing the same gown as I. She was pinned to the wall. He kissed her. Mr. Leota. Me. My heart thumped frantically in my chest, my throat tightening as I read the headlines written in bold letters;CEO OF LEOTA INDUSTRIES AND COMMON EVENT PLANNER CAUGHT INTIMATE ON CAMERA!!My fingers shook as I scrolled, my eyes scanning through the words. Oh god! Oh god! Oh god!“… small scale event planner has become the latest victim of the latest victim of the charming CEO…”“Dee? Dee!” I dropped the phone on the couch when Lily called out to me, unable to stare at my phone screen anymore.“How did this

DIANA “Is there something on my face?”I hadn’t realized I had been staring, I quickly looked away, feeling my cheeks heat up in embarrassment.Jerome only smirked at my reaction, walking past me and straight to my fridge.“Just as I expected.” He chuckled as he opened it.“What?” I raised a brow, turning to him.“Have you been living off coffee and air?” He raised a brow as me, disappointment clear on his face.Oh.I stared into the nearly empty fridge, the sad carton of milk staring back at me.“I was going to cook today,” I tried defending myself, turning to the side with pressed lips. “I just got a bit carried away.”I couldn’t help noticing his gaze shifting to the bags on the counter“So, What did you get from the store?” He made his way to the counter reaching for one of the bags before I spoke up.“Uhm… I got some icecream…” I walked towards him.“Icecream?” He scoffed, staring at me with slightly parted lips.“You can have some, if you’re into that…” I shrugged, pulling out

DIANA “I still can’t believe it.” A woman spoke as their steps drew closer to the sink in front my stall.“I know right?” Another woman added “Of all the women he could be with, he chose her??” I stilled at their words, my brows drawing closer as I recognized the second voice.That sounds like Annie. “You should know the type of man he is by now, he probably just wanted to taste something different.” Another woman spoke with a condescending scoff, I leaned back in my seat, blood draining from my face.“Well, he has had his fair share of different kinds of women.” The first woman chuckled.“You mean unfair share-“ the second lady stressed, her voice laced with amusement. “-that man has half of the women in New York swooning over him.” “Including me!” The first voice laughed, heels clicking and the tap rushing when someone turned it open.“Well, It’s not a surprise. Not only is he a billionaire, he has the face that could rival with a Greek god.” The third woman was so close to my st

DIANA I grabbed his neck, locking his lips in a passionate kiss. His eyes widened slightly at my sudden action, but he closed it slowly, grabbing my waist and pulling me closer in the kiss.I stared at Kevin with the corner of my eye, the shock that was pasted on his face eventually gave way to pure anger, his fist tightened as he watched us, my lips curled up as I deepened the kiss, watching him turn sharply, stomping away.The moment he was out of sight, I pressed my hands to Jeromes chest and pulled away from him gently. He stared down at me with an amused gaze, his brow raised as he watched me.“What?” The corner of my lips twitched as I cleared my throat, taking a step back.“Why the change of heart?” He smirked at me.“It’s just a kiss.” I shook my head, rubbing a hand through my hair. “-and everyone has seen it, apparently.”He stared at me for a moment, and I barely managed to keep his gaze.“Let me take you home.” He said. He didn’t seem bothered enough by my actions to ques
