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. In fact, I think I might ask my lawyer to draw up an agreement so that he would never hit you for any reason. If he does, I’ll teach him what I am currently teaching Gabriel” her father said“Dad, you need to listen” she said“So, I will be holding a party next week. It would have been this week but I am extremely busy so I had to host it next week. I’ll send you the location and theme” the man said“Dad, I don’t want to get married right now” she said and her father finally heard herHe paused for a moment then sighed. “I know you are still trying to get over what Gabriel did to yo

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. Joanna felt she was speaking to a brick wall. It took a lot from her not to spill the real reason she was turning down this marriage or the pair he was making.However, she had to hold herself down. Two days went by so quickly with her still in the same place. She had neither clarified the situation with her father, or she had not told Damien about it. She felt she was walking on eggshells during the two days.In the end, she had to speak to Sarah. They decided to go for a little shopping while they talked about it.

Damien got home after his day at the office and headed for the kitchen to help himself with a glass of water. He was just about to take a sip of his water when his phone buzzed, indicating that a notification had come through. Reading through the message Joanna sent, he smiled and replied briefly.He freshened up and, just as he was about to lie down on the bed, an idea popped into his head. He had nothing to do tomorrow, so he went to the bar to meet with Joanna. It would not affect him in any way. So he changed into something simple and headed out of the house with a cab.He made use of Joanna’s location to get the name of the bar they were in. When he got to the entrance, the bouncer at the front blocked his path from getting in. Damien did not want to say much, so he moved to the other side to get in, but the bouncer held him by his chest, stopping him from proceeding.“You need to stop trying to get in,” the bouncer saidDamien smiled. “Do I need an ID or something? I can provide

Once they got to the venue, Joanna glanced at her phone to confirm if it was the place. It was an expensive restaurant and to be more specific, a five-star restaurant. Sarah had her taste. Damien got out of the car with a bright smile on his face as he went for the passenger door to let her out.After opening the door for her, he gave her his hand which she took and got out of the car.

Damien walked slowly towards the restroom, darting his eyes around in search of her. He was really worried about her, plus she had spent some time on the call. He had only stepped into the large hallway leading to the bathroom when he spotted her standing with her back facing him and her phone in her ear.“I didn't know” Joanna said as he father scolded her on the phone for not picking up any of the calls from his assistant“Do you know how worried I was?” Her father said“I’m sorry” she apologizedHer father sighed. “Fine. He just wanted to confirm that you have seen the email of all the necessary information needed for the party” he told her“I did” she replied“Good. Don't be late okay?” The man said Joanna hummed, nodding before Damien came into view. He ended the call and she sighed. “Is everything okay?” He asked, rubbing her arm.Joanna nodded, forcing a smile. “He just called because I wasn't picking up his assistant's call. He wanted to confirm if I had received an email f

Joanna paced in the living room, her eyes glancing at the front door every second before taking it to the phone in her hand. She was fully dressed in a black dress. Her hair was packed in a ponytail with light makeup. However, she looked stressed as she placed her phone on her ear for the umpteenth time as it rang.She glanced at the time as she tried calling Damien again. It was 9:30 pm and he was yet to come back from work. She had called him at 8 pm and he said he was almost done with work so what was keeping him. The party was going to begin at 10 pm.She had planned for them to leave on time but now he was delaying. Her heart was pounding in her chest as she tried his phone again. She has sent numerous text messages but none has been replied to.She was slowly losing patience. “Damien, where are you?" She said under her breath as she sent another text. “Where are you!" She saidShe tried taking a seat but it only made her more restless so she had to keep standing. After some time

Joanna got into her car and strapped herself in with her seatbelt, holding the steering wheel and staring into space for a few minutes. She did not know how she got out of that conversation but she did and now she did not know if she was meant to be happy or sad about it.It would have been so much better if Damien was with her. She had a feeling he decided to ditch. She still remembered the look on his face when she brought it up. It was hard on him but at least he should have spoken to her about it rather than giving her hope and then throwing it to the side last minute.She told her father that she had a boyfriend and he requested that she bring him in or else. She knew he would not just threaten her without having something up his sleeves if she failed to provide him. Now, would Damien want to meet her father?She did not want to rush him into anything he was not ready for and she understood that it was important for him to be soaked in so they do not have any issues in their rela
