“Well, It was mostly the nice things about you. For someone who wanted to get her brother to woo her friend, only that can be expected right?"Destiny's face heated in mortification. Oh so he knew. Now she's sure that Arabella deserves her strangle."And?""She also told me how super feisty you can be, stubborn and a slice of arrogance.""Is that all?"He nodded, clearing his plate to the side and raising a glass of water to his lips."I don't believe you."He went in thought for a while as if trying to remember the bits. "She told me something about your grandfather being the only closest relative. Does that even count? There's something else she told me though. He smirked mischievously."What is it?" Destiny's heart started beating. She prayed it wasn't anything embarrassing about her.But will Arabella do that?"That you married a virgin and if I had been fast enough, then I wou

 "How on earth did he get to know anyway? I thought I paid off the waiter well enough." Destiny spoke out loud to herself."Well, did they not say Wilhelm is cunning? He must have outwitted the guy and made him spill or gave him five times of my tip. Worse, maybe the waiter is indiscreet. He easily fell in cahoots with Wilhelm I think." She snorted. "He couldn't even keep a common secret. What a shame!""Oh, why didn't I think of this earlier? They both have a flawless similar accent." Her eyes met her face in the mirror and she groaned."That is it then. I was the freaky American trying to turn them against each other. The villain."However,The actual villain is Arabella. If she had not set her up then maybe, just maybe, she could be herself with Arabella and freely tell her she wasn't satisfied after she had said the food was enough.And of course, Richard won't appear and think that she's dating the bastard who didn't kiss h

  "Sure. It will be my pleasure." "Just kick it off already." She rolled her eyes impatiently."Did you see that look on Richard's face?" He asked thoughtfully."Excuse me? What look?""That look when I kissed you at the restaurant?""What?" She blushed violently. He's not going down that lane again is he?"Just answer me.""What has this got to do with my business and why the fuck the creep is here?""Just answer me." He repeated."No, I didn't. My back was to him obviously and..""And your eyes were closed when I was kissing you. Oh, what a shame! That kiss wasn't meant for you to enjoy Miss Blackmore.""Wilhelm!" She felt mocked and insulted."Oh, but you saw his face after you regained the breath I stole away from you. You were doing that with your head on my chest and I thought that was cheesy but anyway. Tell me what you saw."Destiny looked flustered. She bit

 As if her encounter with Richard wasn't enough, Dennis confronted her at dinner about it."Are you dating that Wilhelm guy, Destiny?"Destiny paused working her cutleries and stared at her grandpa. Without a word, she went back to eating."Is that why you broke up with Richard and fired him?" Dennis went on.Destiny dropped her cutleries. " You eavesdropped on our conversation earlier didn't you?""I don't know about anything you two discussed." He avoided eye contact."You've been talking to him then.""You chose not to talk to him again. I didn't pledge that oath now did I?.""You sure didn't but soon he's going to manipulate you to gang up on me.""I was never on your side.""Yes. Correct." Destiny bit her bottom lip harshly as she nodded."The young man is pleading—""I don't want to hear it." She cut him off sternly."Right." Dumbfounded, he chuckled silently. "What do

 There he is, tall and perfectly built in all the right places, breathing down her neck and messing her senses up with his intoxicating exotic cologne while refusing to pay heed to what she wanted from him. She asked for some time alone."Yes, Tiny." He boyishly grinned at her."What are you doing here? I thought I..""Yes. I remember you said you wanted a quiet time, not some fresh air from me.""That is not the case.""Well then what is it?""You should leave.""Wait. Are you here to plot slutty Rebecca's death? Well, that's good. Think before you leap. Well, is that not it?""Goodness sake what do you want man?!" She screamed, snapping at him."Let's get on with our arrangement. You called me last night, remember?""I don't feel like doing it anymore.""Not happening. You already gave me your word. You called me willingly, remember?""Yes I did but I beg to take it back. Yo
