Before we start I would like to thank everyone who has given me advice on my recent post. I have looked things up and I have read reviews, I have decided to hold on this opportunity due to the fact that if I sign the contract they own the book for 3-5 years. I'm truly grateful for each and every one of you- Bella❤️

After Damien left I couldn't help but scream like a teen girl. My heart was pounding so hard I can hear it. I grab my phone and dial a phone number that I haven't used in a long time. "Well look who is calling!" A familiar voice says over the phone. "Ethan, I'm so sorry my life has been crazy since the last time we saw one another," I say as a smile spreads across my face. I missed my little cinnamon bun, Ethan and I have been buddies for as long as I could remember. "You couldn't text! You know what never mind. So...what's going on with you missy." He asks as I place my phone on the speaker. "Well um...I'm engaged," I say nervously.

The line goes dead for a second before it's replaced by a scream. "Your WHAT!" He yells in astonishment. "Wha...When with Who!" He screams even louder. Before I can answer he yells again "so you're telling me you having been hiding a guy from me and now your magically engaged! Damn Bitch, I thought we were friends!" He says on a more serious note. Guilt fills me up, I can't tell him about the arrangement. "Look I'm sorry Ethan, you know me I don't like talking about my private life. I would have told you but I was sent to Rome the next day with Damien Knight who is my..." I trail off to afraid to say anything "your what? Boss? Friend?" He says in a confused state. "No.." I whisper "than WHO is he?!" He yells again.

It's like all the nerves left my body "He is MY FIANCÉ" I almost scream. The line goes silent again "Ethan..." I ask timidly. I think I killed him, I'm so embarrassed it's like I revealed a dark secret. Finally, I hear Ethan breathe from the other end "your fiancé is him?" He says hoarsely "HOLY SHIT! Holy Fucking Shit! what the hell have you been up to!" He says as his screams replace his once soft voice from a second ago. "Well it happened, I'm just as surprised as you. I'm also a little surprised you don't know from the tabloids or TMZ." I say semi truthfully. I remember that night like it was yesterday. I had walked into his office down a dark hallway that leads to a large door my dad knocked on. My dad was nervously fidgeting as he waited for the man inside to say "Come in". The man in front of me was beyond gorgeous, almost god-like.

My heart skipped a beat remembering what had just happened earlier. We had come a long way in barely a month of knowing each other. It went from being given the cold shoulder to us kissing. I had no words of what I felt; I definitely knew there were feelings but it wasn't love, it's like having a crush on someone you shouldn't be remotely interested in. "Bella you there," Ethan's voice says from the other line startling me.

"um ya...I have to go I'll talk to you later" I say earning a sigh from Ethan "okay but make sure you update me on your life and not disappear again" he says which makes me laugh. I really did worry the poor guy "I promise I won't. And Ethan thank you for being so understanding" My voice comes out in a hushed tone. I couldn't stop the guilt in the back of mind, I hated keeping him out of my life but I couldn't risk the arrangement getting out. "Okay I guess I'll see you later little sis," he says playfully. I had missed this I missed our long talks, night outs, and his nickname little sis. "Love you, bye." I say as I hang up the phone. I let out a sigh of relief as I dial a new number. "Hello" the all to familiar voice answers "Dad"


Damiens POV 

I parked in the back of the large warehouse, I had already settled everything with the media. It didn't take that long to make them regret ever trying to destroy my reputation. I step out of my car and throw off my suit jacket. My men surround me as they open the doors to reveal the bastards who tried to take over my shipment. Each and every one of them were tied up and gagged, they let out muffled screams of terror. I marveled at the sight in front of me. This is what my world was built on, it was all one big game of chess. No matter where you landed or stepped you have to be careful, you don't make it to the top without being smart. I wouldn't be here if I didn't know what I was doing. I'm the king of the work I do and I intend on keeping it that way. 

I roll up my sleeves as I step closer to the tied up men. Each of them wearing a look of terror, I gave them a smirk. "Welcome to New York boys." I say with a dark grin I circle them and keep a sharp eye on each and every one of them. "I heard you guys came across my shipment. Aren't you guys a brave bunch of Idiots." I hiss out "Now I'm not one to waste time, but I would love to know who sent you? You see I'm a resonable man. I don't use violence unless I need to and by violence I mean physical. My favorite way of torturing someone is by fucking with their mind" I lean in and look at one of them dead in the eyes as I rip the gag out of his mouth. he is a mumbling annoying mess. "Talk you, idiot!" I yell.

"Please...man please!" he screams as I lean into his ear "if you want to see the light of day again I suggest you start to fucking talk."  I bitterly whisper as I stand back up. "Okay...okay. We were sent by our boss who was told to take over your shipment of goods for a reward of a million dollars. I believe he went by the name Dimitri I don't know man...but he is a fucking psychopath. he slit a guy's throat for looking at him the wrong way" My mind goes blank. Dimitri that son of a bitch, That low life should be dead by now with his body pierced by Knight bullets. "That's all I need. Darrien call intelligence to look into Dimitri's location and take care of these guys" I turn and head back to my car as the screams of the men inside start to get hushed by the walls of the warehouse. Every nerve of my body was on fire with rage. I'm gonna kill that son of a bitch if it's the last thing I do!
