(Third Person POV)Anastasia woke up, she squinted her eyes when she felt someone tapping her arm, continually. She shielded her eyes using her arms, cause of the light coming in through the windows.The tap on her arm began again, and she could hear a familiar voice, as if she'd heard that voice before, calling her name as slowly regained consciousness.As Anastasia slowly began to regain consciousness. She finally fully opened her eyes, looking at the owner of the woman's voice. It's Caroline, the wedding organizer.Her brows creased, confused about where is she and why is she here.Her eyes wander around, confused at where she was sitting. She was inside the car, sitting in the long chair that she believe, it's a Limousine. Headache struck her again, and she was about to massage her temple when she finally noticed her arm, her clothes, her shoes... 'Why... Why am I wearing a wedding gown? Where's Caleb? Am I back in Italy?'All her memories started coming back to her slowly. The
--After two years-- (Anastasia's POV)It's my wedding day. Of course, Caleb is the groom.I'm getting married to Caleb for the second time, with our one-year-old angels, Lia and Leo. The Carter twins.I am already wearing my wedding gown which Aunt Susan and Ally helped me into and was currently retouching my makeup which I didn't find necessary but Ally insisted. And this time, I was wearing the Pnina Tornai A-line gown with a floral long sleeve, keyhole back, and long chiffon skirt with no slit in the middle. You don't know what face Caleb made when he saw me wearing the original Pnina Tornai gown, that's why I decide to alter it since he was also against the idea of me wearing a sexy dress."Oh my God, Ana! you look gorgeous!" Samantha exclaimed.Remember the girls from the camp, they're all here, showing their support for my big day.However, on my second happiest day, my family's presence is still a question to me. They're not answering any of my calls. Although Ally is here, A
This is only the blurb of the story of Thalia Carter and Damon Kane. Chapter 1 will be posted after this.

In the end, she got accepted into a company she didn't expect. As soon as he saw her resume, the grumpy Damon Kane immediately approved her internship.

Despite the 11 years between them, will this office age gap romance be possible for these two?--
THALIAStaring blankly at the window, as the train of thoughts lingered in my head, wondering why my life had to be like this. I throw a glare at the two men in black in the front seat while trying to kill them both in my imaginary world.My bodyguards just forbid me to come to my classmates' celebratory night for the start of our internship. It's just a shame that it's the first time someone bravely invited me to such a night out, but my parents won't let me.At the age of 23, I'm still stuck in my parents' palms, controlling my life as if they were on my feet.I never have any close friends, best friends, or a circle of friends. Men in black have been my tail since I was born, and to be honest, it's getting on my nerves. I was distracted when my phone rang. It's Leander, my twin brother. He's taking up a business major in marketing while I take finance. They said I'm good with math, but I felt like math hates me at the bottom of its heart.I ignored the call because I knew he woul
THALIAA cold stare, silent treatment, and an uncomfortable seat I have here on my first day as a trainee in the finance department. The HR guided me to my table and left without a word. She didn't even introduce me to the employees here who only raised their brows.I think they already know I'm a Carter.I heard through them that Mr. Kane is coming back from his overseas meeting. He was also the one who approved my internship without an interview or anything. I don't even know what he looks like. I don't have time to google search for his information because I'm in the finance department, not at his. Is he a friend of my family? He swiftly accepted me without interrogating why I was finding a company for my internship, whereas my own family had its own company.Anyway, I'm relieved that Mr. Kane didn't give me a hard time since I'm scared that I might lose this one chance to be on my own.My fingers fidgeted on the keyboard with my screen off. My table looks dull and empty. Only the
DAMON“Welcome to the Kane Group, Miss…” I glance over at her resume in my hand. “Thalia Carter.”The corner of my lips lifted when she couldn't even meet my eyes after what she had done earlier. I almost bawled out on the floor when she painfully kicked where it hurt. I didn't know she was an amazon princess.She was uncomfortably sitting opposite me in my own office, which is only one floor above the financial department. “T-Thank you, Mr. Kane… I… I apologize for the misunderstanding earlier–”“Misunderstanding?” I scoffed as I glanced down my pants. “Not really… The disney princess didn't have time to find information about who her boss is?”I saw how she rolled her eyes secretly when I mentioned ‘disney princess’. That made me smile in amusement. This woman might be my foe here at work. She has a sharp tongue and an attitude. I know I made a good choice of accepting her in my company, even though she's the only daughter of the great Caleb Carter.I'm wondering why he let her dau
THALIAMy heart thrummed violently in my chest while dashing out of the elevator. The feeling of being alone with Mr. Kane was driving me insane. If I had known that he was my boss, I wouldn't have kicked him where it deeply hurt.Jeez, that's so embarrassing!Heading alone to my apartment, which was only a walking distance away from the company, I felt someone had been following me since earlier. I took a peek behind me and saw familiar faces, following my tracks while merging into the crowd of people. Do they think I wouldn't notice them?Just great, Dad! He still installed a human surveillance camera on me.We had a deal that I'll be free for three months. Is that difficult for his side? I'm an adult, and I know what good things to do and bad things to avoid.I took my phone from my pocket with a frown and was about to call Dad, but I was surprised when my phone rang. Dad is calling.“Da–”“Seriously, Thalia Carter? Kane Group? How did you approach them?” He started with a raging
THALIAI can sense his coldness a few feet away from me. I almost held my breath while staring at the floor, waiting for the elevator door to open, but I guess I might die if I continued doing that.Did he just arrive from the meeting? Why is he going downstairs, then?I should not give a f*ck about his whereabouts or what he's been doing. I'm not his secretary nor a girlfriend. I'm working far from where he is. I must finish that task before he arrives in his office later.My phone rang, which made me startled and ruined the silence. I immediately turned it off and glanced at the person I cautioned off.He's not staring directly at me but… through the elevator door mirror, shot on mine. I swallowed the lump in my throat as I avoided his intense stare at me. If he's just an ordinary person without a grudge against me, I might melt at his lustful stare– Jesus Christ! Why does this elevator take so long to arrive on the first floor? With a deep breath, I bit my lower lip because of t
