"So... with all this story, your point is that Faith is Sam's sister?" Hames asked.

"Yes." I took a seat beside him on the couch.

"And she's not a bad person."

"Yes, don't you get it?"

"I do. Faith seems like a really nice person and it's weird that she's a sister to such a crazy woman."

"I know, right?"

"And you still want her as your personal Maid and the head maid, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes."

"Okay, if you trust her so much then I have to. Anyway, there's big news." He grinned.

"What's the big news?" I smiled, expecting good news.

"I got another great contract from a famous company."

"Wow, that's great." I rested my head on his shoulder.

"Yeah, but I have to leave the country for two months." "Two months?!" I jerked to my feet.

"Yes, my love."

"Without me?"

"I'd love to go with you but I can't."

"Why not? I followed you to Australia for a business trip."

"Yeah, I know, but you can't go with me on this one. The Australia business trip was only to get close to you, I could've worked from here or returned after a few days but it was just an excuse to have you with me." "Okay, you can take me with you on this business trip, it can be an excuse too."

He chuckled, holding my hands. "So you'll miss me so much?"

"Of course I will. Thinking about it right now is making me go crazy. How am I supposed to spend two months of my life without you?"

"I'll make sure to call you everyday. You won't miss me too much."

He didn't understand this. I was going to miss his touch, his kiss, his presence, everything!

He rose to his feet and lifted me up in a bridal style. "It makes me so happy to know you'll miss me. I have a business to deal with right now, I've been thinking of it all morning." He smirked, carrying me up the stairs and to our room. He shut the door then dropped me on the bed, taking off his shirt. "I couldn't concentrate on work today because your "

He was interrupted by my phone that started to ring.

We both groaned while I reached for my phone, answering the call from Lila.

"Hey, babe." I said.

"Hi." She said with a worry-stricken tone.

"Is anything wrong?"

"Did I say anything is wrong? Can't I call my best friend when I want to?"

"I'm your best friend, and I know that you sound worried. What's wrong?"

"Okay, fine. I'm so bothered. Kade has been acting really weird around me lately and it's making Jovi act like she wants me dead." She said and I chuckled. "It's really not funny."

"Oh, I'm sorry." I apologized while Hames wrapped his arms around me, kissing my neck and arm.

"To make things worse, he's going on a business trip to Dubai for two months and he has asked me to come with him. He takes Jovi on his business trips but now he wants me to come with him? I'm so confused, what's going on?!" "He's taking you?" I frowned at Hames who was slowly unbuttoning my shirt and caressing my tummy. If this was the same business trip, why wasn't he taking me?

"Yes. And this is certainly going to mean Jovi would fry me alive. I don't know why he's acting this strange."

"He probably likes you."

"And that scares me so bad. Please ask Hames if he knows anything about this. Kade can't have feelings for me. He shouldn't. He has a crazy girlfriend and I have a boyfriend."

"You have a boyfriend? And you didn't let me know?" I gasped dramatically.

She laughed. "You know this man I've been talking about recently? Today, he took me on a date again and asked me to be his girlfriend."

I squealed, feeling like jumping around. Lila had a new boyfriend? Such great news! I was so excited and gave Hames a long kiss to express my happiness. "Wow, will you finally tell me his name now?" "Sure. He's Dash."

"Dash?" Why was that name so familiar? "Dash what?"

"Dash Ronan?" She said and I gasped. "Oh, I've gotta go now. Bye." She ended the call.

"Finally, you're done. Who was that? Lila? Nikita?"

I couldn't reply to him, I was too shocked to reply. This meant Lila and Nikita liked the same guy? Oh no, a dangerous war is going to happen.

"What's wrong?" Hames asked with worry, stopping his actions.

"War," I muttered.

"War?" He lifted an eyebrow. I started climbing off the bed but he held me back. "You can't leave now. I'll be leaving for Dubai soon, remember?" He winked.

I gazed at him and every form of worry about the war that was going to happen erased from my brain (of course, only for now) after taking in the sight of his beautiful face.

He was leaving for Dubai soon. Two months away from him? Torture...

I held his shoulders and smacked my lips against, ready for another passionate night with my husband.
