Eden closed her eyes as she waited for the announcement to be made. She had given her all into performing the song and she had a lot of hope that they were going to win. If they lost, it would break her heart. Not because they lost but because Eve would get depressed. There was a deafening silence in the atmosphere as everyone anticipated the results."And the winner is… EDEN, DAN AND EVE!"Eden opened her eyes and looked at Eve's face. None of them could believe it was true, but when it finally sank in, they started jumping and shouting, while the other contestants on the stage clapped for them, clearly not too happy with the results. Eden hugged Dan and Eve tightly with tears filling up her eyes. She pulled away from them and ran down the stage, straight into Bennett's arms. He picked her up and kept hugging her for a long time and then kissed her."I absolutely knew it, you know," said Bennett as he wiped the tears off Eden's face. All of them stayed back and celebrated their vic

Grace dried her hair as she got ready for work. Theo was still showering as she got ready. It was a big day for both of them, it was Grace's first day at work and Theo was being announced as the official manager at the new store. It was a triple story building. First floor was a lobby, second was only for the showcased diamond jewelries and the third was a trial area full of huge mirrors where men and women could try on jewelry and see what looks best on them. Theo knew that being a mere manager was beneath him but he understood that they needed someone on the inside to look after things so nothing goes wrong. There was one thing that Theo never told Grace. He was only going to be in Italy for 6 months. While Grace thought that they were going to live there together for a long time, Theo didn't have the heart to tell her the truth. She was so genuinely excited that when he saw the sparkle in her eyes, he thought it was not something he wanted to tell her and ruin her happiness. Thoug

Grace yawned as she got up from the bed and stretched her arms. "Good morning, beautiful," Grace heard a raspy voice say behind her. She turned around to see Theo lying on his back with his hand resting under his head while his other hand drew random patterns on Grace's bare back. It sent chills down her spine to feel him touch her so sensually. She realized that both of them were completely naked with nothing but bed sheets covering their private parts. Grace smiled shyly and climbed on top of Theo, resting her hand on his cheek before diving in and giving him a passionate kiss. She pulled away and smiled at Theo. He smirked and said, "That was amazing. Only if there wasn't your stinky morning breath ...." Grace gasped embarrassingly and slapped his chest, feeling offended at his remark. She got up from him and tried to get away but Theo's strong arms pulled her back down, pinning her on the bed as he swiftly climbed on top of her body. "You can't take jokes, can you?" Grace gulpe

Grace looked at the time and said to Dante, "Wow, it's really late. I'll go now." "Why? Stay for a while," said Dante. Grace had talked to Dante for about two hours and she lost track of time. It was almost 8 PM and she had told Theo that she would be home by 6 PM. Grace got up and picked up her purse to leave. "No, I have plans with Theo tonight, we'll talk some other time." "That's too sad," said Dante with a pouty face, then he got up himself and walked with Grace to the door. When they walked out of the cafe, they saw Theo waiting outside Grace's office, leaning against his car with a worried look on his face. Grace waved to him and ran over to him, with Dante slowly following her. "Hey, I'm so sorry, I went to the cafe to have a drink and lost track of time," said Grace as she hugged Theo and kissed his cheek. She felt like his body was too rigid and he ended the hug too fast. When she pulled away she saw that his eyes were fixated on something else. He was looking at Dant

"Okay but listen to me." "Alright, go on." "Maybe it's all going just fine. Maybe they don't really need me." "Mhm." "Yes, and I know because I saw the charts and it's been going alright. Profits are good, reputation is back on track and I'm getting my cut of the profits. There's really no need to change anything," Eden said breathlessly as Bennett listened to her calmly. "Mhm." "And the current CEO is doing a good job, I don't understand why I'm really needed there to be honest," said Eden, her voice shaking with fake optimism. "Mhm. Keep talking," Bennett replied as he pretended that he agreed with Eden's argument. Eden noticed his sarcasm and groaned in response. "So do you suggest we go back and burn your degree? Can't lie I enjoy burning things, it'll be fun." Eden sighed and leaned back on the car seat and looked outside the window to see a huge skyscraper in front of her with the name "Brown Industries." It was supposed to be Eden's first day at work as the CEO of her f
