I stood up, "I-I finished my coffee, thanks for the bread." I can feel my heart racing now, I need someone to get away before he hears how my crazy heart is."Are you already done eating?" He asked and looked at Darius who was about to enter the elevator, “Hmm, okay I think I understand why you are suddenly in a hurry. Thank you for taking the time to talk to me even though we are not that close yet."I just nodded and rushed out of the break room, but I couldn't catch up with him the door was already closed before I could run toward it. I couldn't do anything but wait for the next elevator, if only I could use the stairs I would but it’s too tiring.I stood there for a few minutes, almost at the same time Kyler got on. I scratched the back of my neck in shame, I wish I had waited for him to finish the coffee he was drinking earlier.~'Good luck!' He whispered before he finally exited the elevator when he reached the floor where his department was."Huh?" I looked at him confused but

"Everyone, move faster!" Noel shouted, I just saw him on the side become more anxious as the time went by. However, I can’t blame him when even I can't calm down right now since today is the day that everyone is waiting for."Lia!" I immediately turned around when Kyler called me, the anxiety on his face was obvious and he didn't know what to do."What's the problem, did you leave something important?" I ask worriedly, if that happens, we have no time to get it on time since the venue is too far from the company. The event is about to start and the summer fest has two parts, we only have limited time from now.A show where all the models will display their designed clothes will be in the morning and the announcement in the evening, they will highlight the summer outfits that will win, we should not make a mistake today but I think we already did…"Rachel, she’s still not here." He said, while his phone was still on his ear trying to call her, "I've been trying to contact her for a whi

Darius's POVI couldn't control myself as I watched her walk on the stage, displaying her skin in front of everyone. She didn't talk to me about being a model today, so it’s the reason why no matter how much I wait for her to come here, she did not.The mixture of different taste inside of my mouth became even worse when I heard the conversation of the investors behind me, what right do they have to be interested in her? I clenched my hand tightly and stopped myself from looking back at them.I can't make a mess right now since I’m here in the event we've been waiting for the most, but I can't wait for it to be over so I can talk to Lia. I want to wrap her in the curtain hanging on the side of the stage to hide her to everyone, I can’t let everyone to see those sexy body.I should have been the only one to see it, but as I watched her proudly strutting onto the stage, my irritation gradually melted away. She seems to love what she does right now, how can I stop her like that?"Sir Dar

Lia's POVNo… No, that is not what I want to happen.I want to be with him but I didn't ask him to destroy his own life for me or abandon everything he have just for me, no matter how much I want to insist on what we have, I won't accept the huge sacrifice he will make.I don’t want to accept it, but if he will do that. I will live with a huge burden and guilt for my whole life.His life was fine before I came, even though I didn't want to mess it up, that's just the way it is now. I tried to stop it, though I failed. But there is still a chance to stop him from acting and doing something reckless that will destroy his perfect life.All I can do now is hug him tight and try not to let him go tonight, I want him to feel that my feelings are true."Come on, we can go through this problem. Everything will be alright, I will try to fix it." He whispered again while continuing to stroke my hair so gently.That's right, it's not too late. It can be fixed, like Darius, I can do everything fo

Craig's POVAs soon as I got into the car, I tried to call Lia's number again and again, but as Darius said, it was no longer available. I can't stop myself from hitting the steering wheel, why does Lia always have to be the aggrieved one?I want to be mad at Darius, but I know for myself that he doesn't like what's going on either. Lia and he are both victims of Darius’s mother, the only thing I don't understand is why she wants to mess with Darius's love life.It's been too long since she left them, her own family. When Darius gets old and can take care of himself, then she appears to disturb my cousin's life. She did not even care if those things might hurt him, can’t she even think about his feelings first?Even if I want to find Lia, I don't know where she can go, apart from her name, I only know her parents.How can I confidently say those words to Darius earlier? Even though I can't do anything for Lia for now, I don’t know where to begin especially since I can’t call her and
