Damien glanced at Joanna, who laid at his side on the bed with her eyes closed. They had a wonderful time together the previous night in his room and the fact that they were not officially dating only made it better.Damien wanted more than just dating. He wanted to get married to this sweet lady right here. He did not want to just date and dump her.

Joanna could not believe her ears. Her father was setting her up with someone. She did not want that. She loved Damien and was happy to be with him. She tried to speak but her father kept going. “I checked his background and he has no record of bad habits. Plus, he is very handsome” her father said“Dad” she called softly but the man did not stop“I can assure you that he would not do anything to harm you.

He kept speaking about how he was trying the right the wrongs he had made with the last two he had made for her.She told him she did not like the man and he quickly told her that his personality was going to draw her.
