DAMIEN'S POV“Where are you going?” Richard asked, confused by his sudden action.“To pick Stella of course. Isn't that what you want?” Damien questioned, already outside the room as he gestured on Richard to leave the room so that he can lock the door“Oh okay. But did you just have the zeal to go, because you just remembered your mission? I mean the Blackwood's?” Richard asked, almost laughing, while he walked out of the room.Damien rolled his eyes at Richard, because he knew Richard was only making a joke out of his seriousness and Richard enjoyed doing that whenever Damien tries to be serious suddenly, or unnecessarily.“Can you stop teasing me?” Damien said as he walked behind Richard down the stairs.“Okay I will try my best” Richard chuckled, but tries to control himself so that he doesn't laugh out loud, knowing that if he does, it will really piss off Damien.Before leaving the house, Damien instructed his cook to take a break and not cook anything for him because he would e

This will be the first time the Blackwoods will be attending this international party, they have never gotten any invite before this time, because the party is meant for only billionaires, Trillionaires and higher dollar worth CEOs.Anna had tested her dress for a thousand times already, she kept admiring herself in front of her mirror and she kept imagining her with a suitor, her prince charming to be, she even created an image on her head, of what she wanted her suitor to look like. It was almost like she should create this invincible man.

RECALLING THE PREVIOUS NIGHTKEN’S POVEthan had advised Ken to go with a female partner to the party because most business minded people prefer married or someone who is engaged to be their business partner, because they believe that it is easy for someone in a relationship to be able to handle a business and to partner with other companies being that they are mentally and emotionally experience.Ethan told Ken that he(Ken) would pay him for this advice, because according to him, it is business advice.Ken knew he had to take this seriously, and he was sure Ethan would somehow monitor him.

KEN’S POVHe knew his thoughts won't bring any solution so he decided to go in and take his bath, so that he could prepare for the event.Immediately he got inside his room, his phone beeped. It was a message from Ethan.Stop searching. Just know that my eyes are on you.Ken stared at his phone and read the message countless times. His grip on the phone weakened, his hands became sweaty,he shivered in fear that he almost peed on his pants.As he tried to move, he staggered, he could hardly raise his foot to take a step, his legs were visibly shaking, at that moment the only option he had was to sit on the floor.His AC was still turned on, and it was at fifteen degree Celsius, yet as he sat there, he was sweating profusely, the sound of his heart beat could be clearly heard. This has never happened to Ken before. He had to sit there for a while until he regained himself.Ken wondered why and how a human like him would monitor him so badly. The thought of it made him realize that he ha
THE ARRIVAL“Don't you think you should open my door for me?” As they got to the venue, Ken stepped out of the car and made an attempt to leave but Anna called back his attention.“Oh dear, it slipped my mind. I am so sorry about that” Ken apologized.Ken turned to the back of the car, towards the passenger seat and opened the car door for Anna.with his left hand on the door, he stretched forth his right hand and held hers, as he gently guided her out of the car and shut the door.They held each other's hands as they walked into the magnificent hall.They were both awed at the sight of the building and the designs in it.They were expecting something nice and unique, something out of this world. But what was in front of them, exceeded their expectations.“Wow! This is huge and beautiful!” Anna gasped immediately as they stepped into the hall.“The creativity here is excellent and top-notch,” Ken concurred.As they stepped in, the hall was already filled with a lot of dignitaries.

POSITIVE AURAWhy Did Anna say she wants to meet single guys? Why did she call them her friends? Is she planning to break up with me?All these questions ran through Ken’s mind after Anna said what she said.But he had to comport himself and act like what she said wasn't bothering him. He would deal with her later, after he had seen someone that would accept his business proposal. He will prove to her that he is a millionaire and a potential trillionaire.“Deal or no deal?” Anna had asked“Deal!” he agreed.It was a truce, there was no dispute about it, but as Ken held Anna’s hand, while they walked towards a client, he remembered that Anna was meant to stay by his side till the end of the event, as Ethan instructed. Ken racked his brain, back and forth, he thought of how he would stop Anna from leaving him at any point to go see the ‘single’ guys. What will he do? What will he say to convince her not to go?Ken thought about this deeply, yet he got no answer.What excuse will he g
KEN’S POVKen couldn't believe what he just heard. What does he mean by telling his friend about him (Ken), why did he even insist on seeing his documents , when he is not a business owner yet? Did he really have to stress him that much? So after lustfully staring at Anna, he ends up being a scam. All these thoughts ran through Ken's head and he couldn't place a finger at what was going on. Everything seemed to be a dream to him. He never knew such people existed.“Excuse you?What did you just say? You own no company? Are you serious? Do I look like a joke to you?” Ken was lost of words, he was still shocked with what the elderly man just said.Ken has never felt like he wasted his time,the way he feels right now. What the man said really pissed him off but he had to control his anger, so that he doesn't spoil his image.“Yes, you heard me right. Why do you sound so shocked? Oh, are you surprised that an elderly man like me has a friend that rich?” Ignorant of why Ken took offense fro
