The following morning, Regina sat next to Daphne, her heart heavy with guilt. She realized that she had been so consumed by her new relationship with Hills that she hadn't noticed how sad her best friend had been feeling. Shame washed over Regina as she thought about all the moments she had missed, failing to be there for Daphne during her time of need."Daphne, I'm so sorry," Regina said softly, her voice filled with genuine remorse. "I had no idea you were feeling this way. I've been so caught up in my own happiness that I failed to see the sadness in your eyes. Please forgive me."Daphne looked at Regina, her eyes filled with a mixture of sadness and understanding. "It's alright, Regina," she replied gently. "I know you didn't mean to neglect me. Sometimes life gets in the way, and we don't always notice the pain others are going through. Your happiness matters to you the most, I can't bundle you up in my own situation"Regina felt a pang of compassion for Daphne. She knew firstha
Daphne sat on her couch, her mind filled with a mix of conflicting emotions. She had chosen to stay home rather than go to her fashion shop, needing some time to herself to process the events of the past week. It seemed as though fate had played a cruel hand, denying her the opportunity to find a boyfriend within the given timeframe.As she stared at the television screen, her thoughts drifted to the impending meeting her father had arranged for her. Tomorrow, she would be introduced to a complete stranger with whom she was expected to form a lifelong partnership. The idea both intrigued and terrified her. How could she possibly commit to someone she had never even met?With these thoughts swirling in her mind, Daphne reached for her comfort food: popcorn and ice cream. As she indulged in the sweet and savory treats, she hoped they would provide solace for her troubled heart. The television droned on in the background, offering a temporary distraction from her worries.Just as Daphne
Hills sat in his room, engrossed in the task at hand, when the sound of his cellphone disrupted the silence. Peering at the screen, he noticed an unknown number flashing. Curiosity getting the better of him, he cautiously answered the call."Hello?" Hills said, his tone tinged with uncertainty.To his surprise, a familiar voice responded on the other end. "Hey, it's Martina. I'm right outside your house, but your guards won't let me in. Can you please ask them to allow me inside? I just want to talk to you."Hills furrowed his brow, a mix of disbelief and intrigue coursing through him. Why would Martina be at his doorstep unannounced and seeking a conversation? Questions spun in his mind, making him hesitate to take immediate action."What do you want to talk about, Martina?" he asked, attempting to gather some clarity.There was a brief pause before she responded, her voice sounding softer, almost vulnerable. "It's important, Hills. Please, just give me a few minutes of your time. I
Colin sat anxiously in the living room, dressed to impress and waiting eagerly for Daphne to step out. Regina had come to inform him that Daphne would be out in few. As the door finally opened, his heart skipped a beat, and he quickly composed himself before standing up. He has no idea why he's feeling nervous. Colin looked up and there stood Daphne, radiating elegance and beauty, causing Colin's lips to involuntarily part in awe.She was looking extremely beautiful, like an Angel he hasn't seen before.Daphne smirked playfully at Colin's stunned expression. "Close your mouth, Colin," she teased. "We don't want any flies making their way inside."Colin snapped out of his daze and chuckled, feeling a flush of embarrassment warm his cheeks. "Sorry, Daphne," he stammered. "You just look absolutely stunning tonight."Daphne's blush deepened, and she shyly lowered her gaze. "Thank you, Colin," she murmured, her voice filled with genuine appreciation. "You clean up pretty well yourself, I
Colin and Daphne found themselves seeking shelter in the abandoned building, their clothes clinging to their bodies, weighed down by rainwater. With no furniture in sight, they settled on the cold, hard floor, their legs crossed and pressed against each other for warmth.Colin's voice filled the silence as he apologized once again for the unfortunate car trouble they had encountered earlier. "Daphne, I really am sorry about the car. It's been nothing but trouble lately."Daphne offered him a gentle smile, her eyes filled with understanding and compassion. "Colin, please don't blame yourself. None of this is your fault."He nodded, appreciative of her kind words. "Thank you, Daphne"Daphne's voice softened as she spoke, her gaze locked on Colin's eyes. "You know, Colin, I can't thank you enough for agreeing to play along as my fake boyfriend tonight. If it wasn't for you, I would have been left at the mercy of a total stranger."Colin chuckled, a warm and genuine sound escaping his lip

As Regina wrapped up her work for the day, a surge of excitement rushed through her. She couldn't wait to leave the office and spend the night with Hills. With a smile on her face, she grabbed her phone and texted her Daphne, letting her know that she wouldn't be coming home tonight, as she had plans with Hills. Almost instantly, Daphne replied "Enjoy yourself baby girl and don't forget to use some protections" Regina rolled her eyes at Daphne's cheeky reminder, but appreciated the concern.With her bag in hand, Regina made her way to Hills' office, brimming with anticipation. As she entered, she found him still engrossed in his work, diligently sorting through files. She couldn't help but admire his dedication."Are you still working?" she asked, trying to hide her disappointment.Hills glanced up from his desk, a hint of exhaustion evident in his eyes.

As Regina woke up, a wave of emotions washed over her. Slowly, her senses started to come alive. She noticed the absence of warmth beside her, the empty space in the bed where Hills had slept. It tugged at her heart, leaving her feeling a mix of longing and worry.With a deep breath, Regina sat up, rubbing her eyes and trying to clear away the last remnants of sleep.

Hills gentle touch and kisses were still very evident in her mind. She wished the night never came to an end.Re
