Unknown Person’s P.O.V. Because I was not used to drinking too much, I didn’t know if I would consume all of it. I could drink in a shot glass, but what they were giving me right now was a huge beer glass, and the wine content already reached more than its half.  “Of course, bro! Well, it should be bottom’s up and no excuse at all. It is your birthday today, and you will suit yourself with just a shot glass? Hell, there’s no fucking way! You have to drink hard. We will surely get drunk here later, so we will not allow you to end up sober! But anyway, this is just a glass of red wine. You will not get sloshed here,” Gabriel intruded. Jude and Daniel laughed as well. “Alright! I’m going to drink this, okay? But you, guys, have to promise me first that you will take this beautiful woman to her home safe and soun

Diane’s P.O.V. “Did you like it?” Leandro’s eyes were sparkling the moment he asked me. He was talking about the flowers that he gave me. It was the same bouquet of elegant red roses that he left on the asphalt cement outside our gate earlier. Leandro said that he left immediately upon seeing me rushing outside. After our last conversation that did not go well, he was ashamed to show up to me in front of our territory. We were now in one of the corners of Lucy's Club near the counter. He opted to buy me some refreshing drinks, but I refused. I just finished my dance number, and until now, I had not yet removed my mask while talking to him. I was ready to go home because I already timed out, so I also had my bag with me. It was fifteen minutes past ten o'clock in the evening, and I was sure that my brother was still awake waiting for me.

Diane’s P.O.V. “You must be referring to my brother, miss. I saw that he was the only one who left the parking area a few seconds after you entered my car. By the way, I am Liam. Liam Arthur Evangelista. Do not be confused—we might have looked like each other, but Leandro and I were not twins. So, may I have this chance to know the name of this pretty girl beside me?” His description of me made my brain float in the air. He painted a magnificent smile on his lips as he held out his right arm to reach mine for a handshake. There, I noticed a deep and gorgeous dimple on his right cheek. Liam Arthur. I liked his name. It was so handsome and suited him well. So, Leandro was his brother? Well, that explains why they look so alike. But what is he doing here in the parking lot of Lucy’s Club? He does not look like someone hanging out here.

Liam’s P.O.V. Diane does not have any other choice but to come with me. I knew that it was not easy for her to be with me in just one room, considering the fact that we had only met today, but I thanked her for trusting me. For that, I would not do anything that could break her trust. If I had to sleep on the floor, then I would do it just for her to be comfortable in our current situation. The room was clean and fully equipped. It had its own bathroom, small balcony, air-conditioner, sofa, cabinet, fridge, and television. The only problem was the small bed. It was only a double size—too far from my customized emperor-size bed in my bachelor’s pad. In fact, my bedroom was way bigger even if I would triple the size of this room, but I could not do anything about it because I did not want to exert further efforts to go home now. I guessed this would be much better kno

Diane’s P.O.V. Looking at him again, I could not help but fall more and more into his gaze. It felt like I ended up melting even more. I bit my lower lip as hard as I could. Even if I wanted to be afraid by how deep his stares were at me, I could not understand myself because it was as if I even liked what he was doing. Even if I wanted to get away from him, it was as if I wanted to get closer to him. Tonight might be the first time we saw each other, but I wanted to know him more. “You know what, Liam? Whatever the outcome of me being with you right now, it would be all my fault. The moment I entered your car, I did not think straight though. I just went with the flow—naively crossing something without even discerning about the possible risk. So, I guess I really have to face the consequence. I have to deal with it.” My goodness, I didn’t even know
