Invite.

"No you can't, it will put them in danger " said Divean.

"But they are my friends and ..." She stopped.

"Constance the moment they know you're alive then everything will change. Don't forget what you were before they announced you dead " he said.

She froze and muttered, "A criminal ".

"Yeah, and the moment you appear it will be back in that cell. And who knows Tom might end you like he did to Carol " said Divean.

She gulped sitting back.

"I just wanted to tell them am safe "

"Maybe after your name is cleared but not right now " he said.

She nodded and left his office.

Divean noticed his secretary gaze at him and sighed.

"What?".

"Nothing," she said.

*Then why the mean look?" he asked.

"Why don't you tell her the truth," she said.

"And what would that be ?" he leaned back.

"That it was her family that betrayed her not her husband " she said.

Divean frowned.

"And what good would that be to her? He did betray her, even going as far as to kill their unborn child. Do you think he deserves it ?" he asked.

"But she does...she deserves to know where real enemies are "

"And she will for now let things be as they are " he said.

His assistant sighed and nodded. Excusing herself she left the room.

She knew how much that woman, Snow Constance.

He had been in love with her for so long she didn't even know when it started. But to get to protect her and be able to have her by his side, her boss had done a lot of despicable things.

And she knew it was the cause of his feelings, but would the woman he had done them for accept him after she found out?

She sighed walking back to her desk.

...

Snow walked out of her last meeting feeling drained, adapting to her role had been easy but it was harder now. She needed to work harder to show the board that she was serious.

"Ahh excuse me boss " she heard someone say behind her.

She turned.

"Well, we have a party tonight and wondered If you could join us ?" She said.

"Me? "Said Snow.

She nodded.

"You have been so good to us and we simply wanted to thank you," she said.

"Thank me for what ...I haven't done anything " she replied.

"That's what you must think but it's not. Since you joined us again, things have been getting better " she beamed.

Snow glanced at Divean's assistant who nodded.

She breathed, "Okay "

"Really! Thanks you so much " said the employee and ran off.

"Is this a great idea, what If one of them pulls off the veil?" she said.

"I don't think that will happen as long as you are careful".

Snow frowned already worried.

It was a good disguise at first but now it was a hindrance.

....

Snow noticed the group that had invited standing outside the office as they walked out with Divean.

Letting his hand go she turned to him.

"I won't be going home with you today, have something to attend with them " she pointed at the group.

He frowned.

"Them ...but ".

"It's okay I will be careful don't worry " She tiptoed and kissed his cheek then turned and rushed to the others.

"Are you sure it's safe to go with us, boos doesn't seem happy " one said when Snow got to them.

She smiled looking back at the still confused man.

"Am sure, let's go then ".

They walked off leaving Divean alone at the entrance of the company.

He sighed.

"Go with her and make sure she is okay " he said to his assistant who was standing next to him quietly.

"Am afraid I can't?" she said.

"And why is that ?" He asked.

"Cause I wasn't invited, "she said.

His blue cold eyes slowly moved to her in silence.

She gulped and walked off after Snow and her group.
