Chapter 8

Damien comb his hair and fix his tie. He need to get a hair cut but that can wait.

"I'm ready." He turn slightly but like at the store he was blown away. "You're staring."

He chuckle and fasten his cufflinks. "I can't help it. I have something for you."

He open his jewelry drawer and take out a jewelry set.

"I'm not taking that."

"Don't fight me for once." He walk to her and put in the earrings and put the necklace around her neck. He kiss her shoulder making her blush.

"Thank you."

She take her purse from the bed and they were ready to go.

The venue was crowded by paparazzi who are eager to get a story. Flashy cars and celebrities decked out in the newest fashion smile for the camera as on lookers praise them from their stunning looks.

When Damien show up he capture the attention of all photographers immediately. With him being in the media alot the paparazzi knows there is always a story on him.

He get out of the car with his usual blank look as he help Alianna out.

He was more than happy to show her off yet stake his claim on the beauty.

He lead her inside where she once again garner attention.

"Damien. I didn't expect you to show up."

"Alexander."

"Don't be a pooper. Who is this beauty?"

"Don't bother." Alianna tighten her hold on his arm. The recent events make her weary of men she doesn't know. "We won't be staying long."

He only came to make his donation and then he will be on his way.

"What's the rush? Come and drink with us. You don't come to these things often."

"No." He lead Alianna away and went to sign his cheque. He want out of here as soon as possible but that was delayed when he was approached by people who want to do business with him.

He make sure Alianna was comfortable in a chair before dealing with the men and women before him.

Alianna look around taking noticed of how every now and then women glance at her and turn back to each other talking.

She shake her head knowing there's no stopping them. In Damien's social circle criticism is a must for these people. They find everything to criticize.

There's really no pleasing people.
