Damien came downstairs with his suitcase in his hand, he also struggled to adjust his tie as Stella rushed downstairs like someone who was being chased.“Dammy.” For the first time, she sweetly called Damien. He wasn’t surprised because he expected it, a small smirk rested on his lips as he faced her though it vanished immediately.“What has come over you this morning?” He said as if he was getting annoyed.“I’m sorry to sound this way but please, I need your help.” Stella began, her eyes desperately begging him to at least listen to her.“What can I help you with? I thought you had everything?

Raymond’s eyes rolled around the entire cafe. He was still in doubt that somewhere so quiet and amazing existed even though he had stayed in the city for a very long time and had no idea about it.“Sir, do you want anything?” The waitress approached him after he had settled down and he shook his head.“Later, I’m waiting for someone else.” He waved his hand in the air.The cool music filtered in the air as his eyes continued wandering, admiring the small cafe. It was obviously for couples based on the theme, the style of the pastries, and other cuisines.And at the entrance, there was a big clipboard that was labeled couple board, it had pictures that were taken by the staff to paste on the board.

He tucked his hands into his trouser pocket while she folded her arms, none of them were willing to speak to each other.“Amy,” He decided to make the first move since he was the guest.“Don’t call me that.” She shunned him almost immediately. “Amanda, I know no word would be useful to you at this point. I have messed up, I have been stupid and I have hurt you so much, and it’s silly that I can’t explain the difficult situation I’m in. I don’t even have the right to love.” He began dolefully and she gradually faced him. “But I want you to know that everything I did, the way I acted, they were unintentional and I meant no harm.” He informed her sincerely with affection pervading through his eyes.Amanda batted her lashes. “Your sugar-coated words won’t win me over this time.” She said nervously, meanwhile, her walls were slowly crumbling for him.“Amy,” He approached her. “Can you trust me, bel
“So, there is no way I can attain their wealth even after divorce?” Damien stared at his lawyer and the man rubbed his beard.“Of course, you can if you married in court.” The lawyer assured him and he nodded.“It was a court wedding since she remarried.” He began. “I don’t want to continue playing hanky-panky with this bitch.” Damien grunted.“But there are other ways to torment them rather than ending the match quickly.” His lawyer said and he turned to him in full force, he was up for anything that’d make the Mandelas filled with regret.“What are those?” He questioned and immediately, the doorbell rang.Stella strolled into the living room and saw her husband with their lawyer, he was the same lawyer that joined them during their marriage. She was a little bit suspicious but instantly got rid of it because she was in a cheerful mood.“Babe!” He stood up, reacting as though he was surprised. “Why are you back so early?” He questioned anxiously.“Why is the lawyer here?” She ignored

Amanda and Leonard strolled out of the hotel together, they were in the middle of a discussion.“Trevor is coming back to NY,” Leonard informed her and she stopped walking.“Trevor?” Her lashes remained still.“Yeah, you remember him right?” Leonard sighed heavily. “Your sweet childhood crush who supported CQ Hotel first.” He commented and shook his head. “At the thought of it, I think it is time I also find love for myself.” Leonard clicked his tongue as he went over to his car.After hearing those words, Amanda started feeling guilty - so serious that she couldn’t move from the spot where she stood.She started reminiscing of her past with Trevor which happened five years ago.Trevor had prepared a surprise party with cakes, chocolates, ribbons, and balloons everywhere.

“Boss, Amanda is at it again. She just met with a top hacker.” A young man bowed as he informed the big boss courteously. His face was lowered as he had no guts to look up.“Silly woman.” A hoarse bold voice scoffed in the darkness. The place was so dark and filled with fog, it was impossible to see the person but his voice could be heard vividly.

He looked very old like he was in his late sixties. He was huge with sharp intimidating eyes.“You can call me your benefactor.” He grunted as she sat down roughly.“Do I know you?” She curled her lips, staring at him intently.“No, but you will know me sooner or later.” He replied.“So, did my daughter send you or something? How can I help you?” She questioned him curtly because she was no longer interested in anything related to her release.
