  He said she shouldn't be worried about Arabella but the hell she was. More now since she's going to her place for the first time after learning that they are related. Parking her car, she walked to the door and waited after knocking on it to be led in.A second turned to minutes and no one came to open the door for her. With all patience drained, all she wanted to do is break in and cause a scene but she remembered. No one deserves her anger from the most excruciating week ever except for the dark haired man with rare aquamarine eyes.Reaching her hand out to turn the knob, it opened, leaving her hand in mid-air.The door is now open but no way to get in. Standing at the entrance is Arabella, blocking her way in with a jaw that was almost sweeping the floor for reasons she's yet to know.Destiny snapped her fingers before her and as if in a trance, she blinked."Oh hello. Who are you and what have you done to my

 "You've met my brother finally!" Ara gushed out. "Tell me, what do you think of him? I was right wasn't I?""About what exactly?""That he's hot and so freaking handsome.""I wasn't enthralled.""I don't think so but anyway, tell me about how it went."She sighed. "Ara?""Mmm""Do you remember rule number 9?""I don't. Enlighten me." She batted her long natural lashes at her."Rule number nine says our families are a no-go area. Nothing amorous can go on so stop wishing for it.""The last time I checked, that was Lee and Elle's preposterous rule in the kissing booth.""Yes.""In case you've forgotten, that rule was later broken if we had any at all."Destiny sighed. "Just stop trying to work us up already. It won't work." If only she knows how of a dick her brother is. She glanced back, hoping that Arabella's mom comes back quickly. She was hungry and mostly want to be saved from

  "Are you okay? We can go to my room then we can talk." Ara suggested."It's okay. I'm just going to help clean up.""You don't have to do that.""Of course I have to. It's the only thing I can do after being served such amazing food." Then she walked away.After everyone had eaten, Destiny helped to clear the table with Arabella's mom."Hey, it's fine. You don't have to." Isabella tried to stop her."No. I want to." She said and moved to the sink."Destiny—""Please mom, I want to.""Alright then." Isabella hesitated before finally leaving.She began to load the dishwasher when Ara stepped into the kitchen. She watched her quietly and Destiny, who knew that she was being watched, waited for her to say what she wanted to say."I want to help." She picked a tablecloth to wipe off the counter while Destiny soaks the pots."You look sullen." Ara began. "I could come with you

.."I came here because I couldn't get a hold of you. Neither was Ara"It didn't make sense earlier but it does now to her. But the question was, why was he calling her? Was it job-wise?                            ****"Don't laugh." Wilhelm warned but Destiny could barely keep it in. She bit inside her cheeks to stop the deep laughter waiting to bubble out."Damn it! You're even the cause of this." And then he got up again hurriedly.The laughter came to an end and the smile dropped as well when he said she was the cause."Hey. Are you okay?" Destiny couldn't help but ask when Wilhelm came back from the washroom the umpteenth time."I wish I had not eaten it." He muttered, taking the seat beside her again."Ate what?""Oh, you've forgotten? That shit you prepared last night and called it food." He scoffed.Destiny licked her dry lip

 She felt his arm come around her waist when they made it out of the car. She whirled to face him, her hands on his shoulders then hooking them behind his neck.She leaned in and whispered against his neck. "You can't walk me in with your hands around my waist. No touchy touchy remember?"He chuckled. "How will they believe?""I didn't come here to prove to the world that I am dating you, Mr. Grey. I only have to prove to Richard.""It's just my hands on your waist." He whispered back. Richard was getting things from the car."No, it isn't. We're going to look like we're up for a honeymoon instead of work. It doesn't look professional. Remember you're the CEO.""Your point is clear. Just keep giving me adorable love eyes and I will return it with a ' deep in love' look.""Huh?""Something like this." He said and gave her an intense smoldering look. It looked so real. Even though it was fake, no man has ever looked

 Changing into a violet off-shoulder dress with her wet hair ina messy heap on top of her head, Destiny walked out to look for where the dinner was held. When she didn't see them in the ballroom, she walked to the balcony, and there, all heads turned in her direction. From Mr. Hughes, the manager, to the financial officer, accountant, the production manager, marketing manager then the CEO and his very own assistant also her ex-husband Richard Davidson. "Hi, y'all here." She said, surprised. She sauntered over to Wilhelm, bent slightly, and whispered into his ears. "Congratulations you small Winy, You just blew our cover." Then she

BTBB 28 She stared in grave horror as Richard kept throwing punch after punch at Wilhelm and he wasn't doing anything to stop him or even fight back. Still in shock, she didn't know if it was because he kissed her again which was contrary to the rules, or because Richard is  here all of a sudden just to catch him on it and kill him. Kill him? Destiny snapped back to reality. "Enough Richard!" She screamed with all her might that her throat hurt at the end. He paused. "Why should I stop? This man was taking advantage of you." "Seriously Davidson? You barged

  It was a cool breeze with just the right speed at first before it turned warm. She rolled to the other side because it was coming directly into her face. That still didn't stop the warm air from blowing on her face.  It wasn't just a cool or warm breeze anymore. It was more. Like the air has been mixed with mint and each blow to her face drew her more and more awake.'What if it's not a breeze?'  She thought and turned on her back to face heavenward, sighing. Slowly, her eyes opened. It was blurry at first. Those blue-green eyes, long lashes, straight nose, and desirable lips. His face. It was just an inch from hers.

She waves her hand across his face. Did it again and again and when she was sure that indeed he was asleep, she sighed and for some odd reason, waited to stare at him as he snored quietly.She studied all the contours of his face without interruption or he grumbling about not liking to be looked at. Somehow, it soothed her nerves after what happened in the hall.Deciding to stay up so that he could sleep, she went to pick her laptop to write a review on a high school book she read.Then she bought new ones on Amazon and jumped into one whose title and cover captivated her at glance. Hours into reading, she noticed him beginning to stir. He picked a pillow and hugged it close. Thinking that he might be feeling cold, she got up to close the windows and put off the air conditioner.
