Cherise was a little bewildered and frowned as she put her phone away.
What’s gotten into him? Why is he so upbeat this morning?

Then, the car window was lowered, revealing a man with a stern and chiseled face. “Get in!”

They had been separated for five years. It was his mistake that led to their separation. Between him and her, there

Damien sighed deeply and accelerated the car.
Cherise sat in the back seat, observing the increasingly unfamiliar landscape outside. She furrowed her brow.
“Damien, where are we going?”
But Damien remained silent and continued driving,
