**AN: Yes, I will finish this story. It's ongoing but written during increasingly limited free time. Thank you for your patience.** Smiling, I flipped open the Harry Winston box and gently pulled the jewellery from it's resting place. As I slid it up her finger, far slower than I needed to due to how much I was enjoying touching her, she finally turned her head to look at our joined hands. Looking at the ring on her finger, she withdrew her hand from mine and went to pull it off. My hands stayed hers and our eyes met. I could read all the hurt and pain she tried to hide in them and my chest tightened. I had done this to her. "It's on the wrong finger", she grit out. "No, it isn't" I replied gently. Her beautiful eyes looked down and away from me. Some invisible point outside the window drew her ire again. "I hate you", she spat. "No, you don't. Not really. I messed up. I know I did but I promise to make it up to you." "There's nothing you can do." "I will find a way." _______________________________________ Grace Andrews had done everything right.

"I've seen the way Marshall looks at you," he murmured. "But I don't think he can handle you like I can." Chris captured her lips in his. Olivia was sure she was melting underneath him.

Art. She created art, and though it was in an unconventional form, it was still art; her art. And it was also a service. Decorating homes made Jeanette Johnson happy, but that was about it. In a city where she dedicated her time to recreating homes, she felt sort of lonely. She needed something, someone to pay attention to her; she felt empty. All she wanted was to be loved. And she happened to find it in all the right places. He was the most silent, pensive, and mysterious man anyone had ever met. Sixteen people worked in his home, and only one of them, the butler, had spoken directly to him. Mr. Daniel Arsden was his name, and few knew it, however, many benefited from it. Daniel was a no nonsense type of man, one who few people had seen face to face, and he wanted to keep it that way. His undercover law dealings were the source of his happiness for so long, but he was ready for something different. What happens when someone enters his life, and changes it completely, tossing both of them into a situation they had never predicted being in? One home, one project brought two very different people together in a situation they had no control over. And now, it was simply a game of Mystery and Restraint.
