"What are you doing here, Xania?"
"I came to talk to you," I carelessly shrugged and he squinted his eyes, shaking his head.
"What about?"
"What you always want to know."
"You're going to tell me...willingly? At night?"
"I'm only free right now, but if you want to reschedule for tomorrow then fine, but you'll be too late," I said and he nodded letting me into his house. "Thanks," I muttered.
"I would have tea prepared if I knew you were coming over, this is the first time you've come free willingly."
"I don't want tea, can you sit so that we could talk," I asked him and he grinned sitting down next to me and I

I straightened my suit and pushed my hands into my pockets walking confidently into Mike's office, he sat behind his desk talking on his phone with a proud grin on his face. This man really annoys me. To think we were once friends, how odd.I pulled the chair out and unbuttoned my suit jacket before sitting down and staring at him, he clenched his jaw and looked at me as I smirked at him, yeah buddy, I also don't want to be here looking at you."Listen, Jeremy, I'll call you back later, something came up," he said into the phone and chuckled at whatever Jeremy said before ending the call and putting his phone face down. "Theodore," he cocked his head to the side leaning back on his chair. "To what do I owe the pleasure?""I thought I should eventually pop in and greet my friend," I said, shrugging

Theo and I stared at each other waiting for the other one to begin talking, I had no idea what he wanted to say to me and I just hoped whatever he wanted to say wouldn't sway my decision or disrupt me from saying what I wanted to say. "You start," we both said at the same time and I chuckled, shaking my head. "It seems like what you want to tell me is much more important than what I want to say," I said and he nodded. "Okay, let's sit down," he said and I followed him onto the couch sitting next to him. "Okay, so I was-" he breathed out a shaky breath before shaking his head. "Fuck this is hard." "Take your time," I held his hand in mine. "There is this girl that I knew and you remind me of her," okay? "My parents didn't like her and always wanted to keep

"Can I come in?" My sister's voice rang from outside the door but I couldn't respond. I pulled my blanket over my head and buried myself underneath the blankets. "I'm coming in," she said and opened my door and I released a gruff sound voicing out my disapproval for her intruding.She tugged at my blanket and I held it in a tight grip. "Xania," she said and I held on tighter and she responded by pulling it harder."Let go," I whined, pulling the blanket and she responded by putting more force. "No," I carried on whining and she released a growl."COME ON," she groaned, pulling and she eventually won, throwing the blankets on the floor. She looked at me annoyed and she was breathing heavily. I glared at her and huffed turning my body and laid face down pushing my face into the pillows. "Xania!" She said a

I sat in my office reading through the documents for tonight. Paging through the pages and the targets, I once again read the specifications for the umpteenth time, something didn't make sense and it was bugging me. 'I called out your name, but it wasn't you that came, THEO IT WASN'T YOU!' I groaned, closing my eyes, slamming my fists against the desk, is this why I can't focus? Threading my fingers in my hair, I pressed my face against the desk and released a huge sigh. It hurts. Why does it hurt? I pulled out my phone and I scrolled through my gallery, littered with Xania's pictures and videos. I scrolled through the pictures I had taken of her when she was painting, she was on her knees with one paintbrush pushed against her middle ear,

Cassandra... pregnant? I stared at them both confused and irritated but mostly hurt. So was he... "Xania," Theo began and I shook my head smiling. "I came to tell you that it's almost time to go to the auction," I said, dismissing whatever explanation he wanted to give me. "Congratulations Cassandra," I said softly with a smile and she nodded smiling. I walked back into the house and it was kind of hard to ignore the igniting pain in my heart. But I'm not supposed to care anymore, I promised Zada that much. That I won't care. I took a huge breath in and carried on my way to the room that had my clothes. I couldn't possibly say it's mine, especially seeing that today was my last day here.

I came out of my room changed into my dress, having retouched my makeup, I still couldn't find the courage to look up. Once I got to the end of the hallway, I took a deep breath in and smiled, fake it till you make it! As soon as I stepped into the living room I heard whistles and claps and I smiled at Leo. "And the most gorgeous woman we've ever met walks into the room, the crowd erupts in cheers!" He said and clapped his hands harder. "You look beautiful, Nia!" He winked at me and I chuckled, shaking my head. "You don't look so bad either, but your bow tie is crooked, " I said, fixing his tie. "That's better, are you going to be charming all the girls tonight?" I asked him and he gave me a knowing smile. "You know the vibes baby!" I high fived him and we laughed about it.

Theo and I entered the dealership with our arms hooked around each other, the moment had passed and had made the tension feel lighter. In the lobby, there was a woman in a red dress and her brunette hair was bundled up at the top of her head making a neat bun. She kept a professional smile as Theo logged in his details, and I also had to do the same. Something about it being necessary precautions."Hope you enjoy the event," she said as we walked away into the venue. I was in awe! The cars around us were definitely not like the ones you would see on a normal day of walking down the street.These were classy, luxurious, posh and expensive! I'm probably repeating the same thing using different words but anyone with eyes, even a blind man, could see what fortune was around me right now!"How are you so calm

"How about the lady next to Theo Walder?" Andrew said and I looked to Theo’s left and noticed that was the end of the aisle. "The one in the black shiny dress," he said pointing to me and I looked at Theo and he cocked his head slightly giving me the go-ahead."I- uh, I didn't volunteer though," I said with a giggle as I accepted Andrew's hand that helped me climb up the stairs."Your beauty charmed me," he said flirting and I had the urge to roll my eyes and gag but instead I giggled touching his shoulder slightly."Ahahaha, you're so sweet, aha," I giggled, this is exhausting. I'd rather be in bed watching some drama about people falling in love without one of them being married or anything so bizarre, I'm just saying.Andrew chuckled and
