Zack's POV
I watched my lawyer intently as he checked the contract, flipping to the other page as I side glanced at Javier who was beginning to look bored—my work was never fun when it came to risking the company with uncleaned money.
"Any clauses, Lyle?" I broke the silence, and he lifted his gaze off the papers, peering at me through his reading glasses.
"No, everything is great, but I don't understand why you won't sign Arnau's contract," he said with furrowed brows as he took off his reading glasses.
Javier snorted, pulling out Arnau's contract and placing it on the desk. Lyle picked the papers hesitantly—wearing his glasses again as I let Javier fill him in with the details.
"Lyle, you'll find on page six that there can't be a third-party partner in the club. Arnau signed a contract with Noah Hernandez, not only him— while there's Carlos De Luca who's

Riley's POVI stared at my phone's screen, feeling the blood boiling in my name as I reread the message for the tenth time around—the high-pitched ring bell pulled my attention away from the infuriating message, seeing my sister's name on the top of the screen as I received a message from her.I tapped the message, the screen redirected me to her chat, noticing tons of messages I haven't noticed because I abandoned my phone yesterday.I scrolled down to the latest message, feeling a bang of guilt in my chest as I sensed Lara's worried tone through her message.Lara: Hey, you didn't pick up my calls, and didn't reply to my messages or Athena's.

Zack’s POVI walked towards Javier with a wide smile; he didn’t notice me yet as he was busy lining up the people.“Javi,” I called out and his gaze snapped to me, eyeing me slowly before sighing loudly."He came ten minutes ago," he trailed off and glanced at the entrance as it opened."I knew he would," I asserted and he chuckled, shaking his head at me.My plan was going just fine.“But you’re late,” he remarked, and I rolled my eyes as I groaned.“I had to wait for the ladies to get ready.” I sighed and his gaze went to search for them, then he knitted his eyebrows.“Is that Lucy?” He asked and looked back at me with worried eyes."Don't worry, we're rekindling our friendship. I got slapped, so I'm on the right track," I assured

Riley's POV"Is the blindfold necessary?" I questioned as I stumbled on a rock in the way—it wasn't like I saw it with this thing covering my eyes. Zack was supposed to be my eyes since he was holding my hand, and his other hand was on my waist—guiding me to this stupid picnic date.Apparently, he was as blind as me."I told you I'm sorry, stop being such a brat," he retorted, and I stopped in my place—snapping my head to where his face was supposed to be—instantly feeling his warm minty breath on my face."Did you just call me a brat?" I heard his light chuckle—feeling a little huff of air on my face as he chuckled.The heat t

Riley's POV"So, any excuses for being late?" I snapped my gaze at him, crossing my arms against my chest.Instead, he eyed me from head to toes before finally meeting my gaze with his breathtaking smile. "You look incredible, yellow is definitely your color," he faltered, sticking his hand out for me."Are you silencing me with a compliment?" I snorted, and that stupid boyish grin grew on his face.Remember how you fell on this date. The voice in the back of my head tried to remind me that I got myself into this.I just placed my hand into his warm grasp—and that electric feeling traveled down my spine, waking up the butterflies. Yeah… that's the feeling I despise the most.Yet he made me somehow like it."Let's just end this thing," I said with sass in my tone—thanking god that my voice didn't crack.

Zack's POV"So, where are we going exactly?" Riley's voice broke over the soft music playing. I glanced at her, holding my breath as I absorbed in her beauty.The way the air flowed through her hair, touching her skin softly—her hazel eyes were focused on the trees as we passed them in a blur.That dress hugged her body at the right places, and yellow was definitely her color—it made her look happy. Not for a long time because every once she sneaks a quick glance at her phone, then her face changes to a worried, distressed one."It won't be a surprise if I told you, cupcake." She looked at me with a frown."Monkey feathers. My name isn't this hard, I can even help you spell it out," she quipped, and I gave her an impressed side glance before focusing on the road—a sinister smirk tugged on my lips as the dirty comment popped up in my mind.
