AMY POV :“It’s still visible,” I gave a stern look to the makeup artist, and she paled.Sensing the tension between us, Kim wisely walked in and took away the palette from the woman.“Darling, I got this.” With a smile, he let the woman leave in peace while I stood, troubled.After a few moments of his talented skills, finally he stepped away pleasing me with his work.“All cover now.”I let out a sigh of relief, “Finally…”I turned to get dressed for the shoot when Kim’s words stopped me, “I hope you’re not breaking any clause from the contract…”An alarm shivered my spine, I tossed my head in Kim’s direction, silently demanding an explanation of his words.“You signed it yourself, for two years, no relationship at all…If by any chance, these hickeys will get exposed, your career could be finished, Amy…”His last words struck me hard.Again, am I standing on the thin thread of losing my career?Why is it always me ??“It won’t…It’s just a one-time thing…” I told him feebly.“Don’t

DEREK POV :There is something not right with Amy, and so does with me.After all, I am excited yet scared of her reaction, would she like my doing at all?I could tell she was pissed off by her mother’s bizarre demand. To say, it came to my advantage because if I would not stay away from Amy, I would not be able to finish preparing her proposal.Yeah, finally with Amy’s mother’s help, I was able to come up with an idea.With Amy’s absence and distraction, I was finally able to prepare for it.Feeling nervous, I glanced back at the back door. I need to take her out before the sun sets down.“Everything ok, Derek?” Amy's voice startled me, but I tried to appear calm in front of her.“Completely,” I turned to her with a graceful smile that lessened her suspicion.Oh, My Clever Love !!“You need more?” Taking a seat beside her, I asked in concern and she shook her head as she devoured the last piece of the sandwich.“No, I’m good…” Her smile bewitched me and instinctively, I made my way

DEREK POV :This woman could ruin me like hell, I realized this thing just recently.I have given her my heart, and my life too.I always knew that she would be mine but her acceptance of my proposal, and that ring that marked her to be mine shone so beautifully in her hand, I couldn’t take my eyes off of her.She is mine, now, with soul, with life.Amy Hood is my soon-to-be wife, I shouldn’t be thrilled like a young boy at this moment but I am.I want to jump around the whole house and yell that to every person.I want to show the whole world what a precious gem God has gifted me with.Amy drooled in her sleep.As I cleaned her gently that little touch woke her up from her nap.She passed me a lazy smile, while I smiled brightly with the hearty confession of my heart.“We’re getting married.”“We’re getting married…” She repeated the words with the same lazy smile, it stayed for just a few precious seconds as very suddenly, she dropped the smile and sat up in utter panic.Did the ide

“What the hell are you talking about?” Grandpa asked furiously.And I sneered aloud at his outstanding performance of being innocent.Does he think I have forgotten about his cruelty to Lila??“I’ve said enough, Grandpa,Amy is my world, touching her would be crashing my world.One harm, just one single touch on her and I’ll ruin everything you built for years.”Agitated, I pointed my finger at him forgetting how disrespectful I am appearing to him until something hard hit on my finger and I yelped in pain.“Ah…”“You disgraceful grandson,You dare accuse me of something so little…And then be disrespectful to me…Damn, you, Ill-mannered, Shepherd.”BAMAnother hit came right at the center of my head, frowning, I stepped away from Grandpa.There is no way I could talk things into sense with him. Turning away, I strode towards my car with his non-stop yelling behind me.“Get back here, you, little piece of Shit…”VRRRAs I drove out of Shepherd Villa, I could see the servants running o

He lead me to the corner and we started to dance softly.“So, how come you’re here Mr. Shepherd?” I asked although I already knew he was here for me.“Mrs. Frances invited me,” He played along with a cold face.“Oh…So, what do you think about this new collection?”I asked, intrigued.Derek paused, and then spoke cluelessly, “Marvelous…”HaH ! Liar!“Hmm…Which one would you like to give to someone special?” I asked, carefully scrutinizing the public.Nobody’s eavesdropping on us.“Uhm…” Another paused, Derek’s eyes averted around us, and then leaning down he whispered slowly, “I’ve no idea what you’re talking about…”HAH !!His honest confession sent butterflies to my stomach and I giggled carelessly, taking everyone’s attention on us.By the time I got sobered, Derek had already left the dancefloor with a sullen face while I remained clueless as to where did he go?After several minutes of waiting, I decided to touch up and headed for the washroom, unaware of the dark shadow followi
