Norma's POVI am happy I am going to marry the man of my dreams. We are having a great time. That's when Eva steps up to the table. She does not look happy at all. However, there is a smile on her face when she looks at us. She's putting up a charade. I know Eva better than this. I understand she is up to no good. I wonder what she wants from us and why she is here. Everybody that is around us came to celebrate with us. I hope she does not think that I will invite her to celebrate with us because that will not happen. I look at Connor. He's not even looking at her. He's talking with his parents. Eva is beautiful. She has become more attractive over the years. However, there is something about her that is of putting. Maybe it is her personality. I do not know. Her face looks as if she wants to kill someone. I do not care who she wants to destroy, but I will not be one of her victims anymore."Hello Eva, how can we help you? It has been a long time since we saw you. Are you a doctor?" I

Baron's POVI don't usually come to this part of town. However, the building where this little diner sits is up for sale. This part of town is bustling and ideal for business offices. That is where I am here tonight. I wonder what Chase Stone is doing here. Did he also hear that this place is up for sale? Her son Connor is also here, but they are celebrating something. Have they already bought this building? I hope not, because I want this place. I've always been the Maxwell family's black sheep; my father sent me overseas to study. My brother is the heir to the Maxwell fortune. He is the oldest, but I am the one with the business brain, so I started my own business, and at this moment, I am doing much better than my father and brother. I don't like the Stones. Many of my deals went down the drain because of them. Although I am only twenty-five, I am already wealthier than my family. I did not go to school here. I was always in boarding schools because my father and mother thought I

Bella's POVI am furious as I see him walk away. How dare he walk away and tell me that he will buy this place and destroy it? Baron Maxwell is a bastard! I was showing him that I could buy this place before him. I have to get in contact with them on your right now. I know he must have been in contact with the owner already. And that was why he was here. I walk over to my brother. He has to know who the owner of this diner is. If he does not know, then my father will know. "Wow, that guy likes you. But let me tell you one thing. You just took on the wrong man as much as I love you, Bella. You will get this place to spite you, no matter what," Norma says. Eva walks past us and looks at us with hate in her eyes. "Baron Maxwell will never look at the two of you. I am sure he will be back to see me again. He left me a hefty tip," Eva says. "Eva, not everybody is running off the men with money like you. We are not interested in him. Do you know that he wants to buy this place? And then

Baron's POVI did not expect a call from Bella. I was surprised to see her calling me. I got her number from one of our mutual friends. That is why I could call her at the restaurant the other night. I answer, and she does not waste time. "Mr Maxwell will go on a date with you, but on one condition. I choose the place and the time that we go. I am not one for fancy restaurants, so don't get all dressed up. I will let you know when I'm ready for our date," Bella says. "Find as long as I do not have to eat hamburgers, I hate hamburgers. I will wait for your call. Honestly, I did not think that you will even call me. I did not think you had the guts," I say. I was astonished that she called me because I was waiting for her to message me and tell me she would never go out with me. Perhaps she liked roses. Maybe she's like all the other women. Women like money and want their husbands who can spend money on them. The only thing women care about is money. I have seen it with my father and

Bella's POVI know Eva is not going to stay away from our table. She is just the type who is always looking for trouble. She comes to fetch our orders for drinks, and since I am not twenty-one yet, I am not allowed to drink alcohol. I asked for orange juice. Baron orders himself a glass of whiskey. Eva returns, and I can smell the alcohol in the orange juice. I put it aside. Baron looks at me, frowning and wondering why I am not drinking my orange juice."I cannot drink that orange juice. There is alcohol inside. I'm not twenty-one yet, so I cannot drink it. I asked her for plain orange juice, but this is how Eva is. She wants me to drink it and get me into trouble. You will also get into trouble because I am with you, and I am underage when it comes when it comes to drinking," I explain. "I told you I didn't like her. I cannot believe that you wanted me to date somebody like her. Well, I cannot leave it at this. Eva has to be taught a lesson. She thinks she can get away with everyth
