"Nadia Mallory." I looked at him suspiciously.

"Did you know about who I was this whole time?" I asked.

"I knew that you were dating my brother, but I didn't know you were Agent Mallory." He said leaning back on the booth seat.

I suddenly felt really awkward. I slept with Damian countless times. I cheated him in the worst way possible. Yet, he still loves me. 

"Listen, I can understand the situation you're in. I just want you to know that agree with what you had done, not matter what Damian was doing or what reason he was doing it, it was wrong. Sure, our parents were treated wrong but Damian did even worse things." He spoke with sincerity. 

"He killed two people and injured even more people." I added while a dazed away into my hands. 

"Nadia. I don't want you to beat yourself up for this. Neither does Damian, he's very understanding." He said. "He's going to meet with our lawyer, his next hearing is tomorrow and we're trying shorten his sentence." He said. 

I sucked in a sharp breath. His sentencing. 

In Canada, we punish murderers with life sentences instead of the death row. But to me, the life sentence sounds horrible. I can't imagine Damian going through all of that. What am I saying? He killed two people. He killed two people! Hate him! Why do I still love him. 

"Nadia." Chris-I mean Ryan called. 

"Yah." I said breathlessly. 

"What are you thinking?" He asked. 

I sighed, "Make me hate Damian." I requested helplessly. "I have to hate him to get over him." I begged. 

Ryan looked at me with concerned eyes and furrowed eyebrows. He held my hand, "I will take care of it. Don't worry about him, I'll pick you up tomorrow and take you down to the courthouse." He said in a caring tone.

After I got home I sat on my bed. My phone rang and I saw that Evan was trying to call me. Poor Evan, he's such a good man and he's so good to me. He's so perfect, perfect for me, and we're perfect for each other. Eventually, I answered. "Hi." 

"Hey beautiful." He said. 

I let out a faint laugh. "You can't see me right now." 

"I don't need to see you, I know you're beautiful." 

"Stop buttering up to me Evan." I warned. 

"How are you feeling?" He asked. 

"I'm ok."

"Are you walking around a bit?" 

"Yes, I went out for a walk." I lied sort of. 

"Ok. I just wanted to check in with you because I want to meet you. I miss you Nadia, and we need to talk about things." He said, and the tone in his voice worried me. 

"Is everything ok at your end?" I asked. 

"Yah. My office is set up and I'll be working soon." He said. 

"Evan, I am so proud of you. I hope you know that." I said sincerely. 

He laughed. His sexy laugh made my knees weak, "I love you Nadia." He whispered.
