She lowered her eyes seeing him again Damien Adler. What's with the universe's desire for me to meet him again and again? Enola, slowly took her head upward, seeing that terrifying handsome man towering over her straight looking into her eyes. Her bravery needed to do something she thought in her mind. What is wrong with his gorgeous eyes. Enola closed her eyes in frustration, she was again drowning herself in his beauty.
She tried to stand up, expecting him to help her but what she was wondering, she scoffs at her imaginary thought. Then she noticed a cute kitten he was holding in his hand patting its head softly so unreal to see such a scenario for a man like him. His personality does not seem to be that friendly to become an owner of a cute kitten. She shakes her head washing all of the judgmental ideas she was getting from her dumb head.
She finally stands up. The close view chokehold her again, she got lost again for a fine second. How can be a person this beautiful. All the words of appreciation are becoming less to define his beauty. She looked at him fully only avoiding those ocean-deep eyes. She has to control herself ignoring his eyes could be the best solution for her. He was so tall that automatically his strong demonic figure caused her nervousness. She cleared her throat lowering her eyes she uttered in her polite voice
"I am sorry; I didn't mean to come in your way. Actually, I was in a rush."
she expressed what was her reason for this carelessness but in her reply only she got silence. In her fear she was hesitating to face him again so she hung her head lower not daring to look at him again. But her patience was leaving her body as she was running late for her home the result could cost her badly. So she thought to excuse herself as it did not look like he was going to open his mouth for her.
He was looking at her like he was going to eat her alive, his nature was so calm yet bringing havoc for her. It was making her so uncomfortable that Enola thought she could pass away anytime. She was about to run from there when her eyes fell on the man who was exactly standing behind him, whom she hadn't even noticed till now, all credit goes to this brown-eyed man. He was him, that building breaker man she widened her eyes seeing him staring at her.
"Wait aren't you him, from that building breaker company isn't it?"
Damien turned around to see whom she is talking about only to meet his eyes with Austin's who was looking pissed off to see that little human being was getting curious about him.
Damien understands the tension between them as he was not unaware of the fact about their encounter yesterday. He somehow suppressed his smirk and again turned towards the little human being who was daring Austin to open his mouth.
"Yes it is you, but you are not looking like how you were yesterday, why so?"
Austin was holding himself back not to react to her question.
Damien looked at him signaling to answer that curious human being and Austin got that, not to create any more awkwardness here he replied, he already saw her curious nature she was not going to let him step away from there without answering her queries.
"You are mistaken. I am not the one you are talking about miss."
"What do you mean by you are not him? Are you trying to say I have started hallucinating too?"
She narrowed her eyes she was sure about it it was him. Why is he denying it?
"If you think so, I would suggest you see a doctor, I am his PA not a worker from any Building Breaker company."
He stopped her from saying anything further, standing before Damien
"I am getting the car from parking, see you there."
Damien nodded and he left her totally puzzled. She saw him getting away from there. How can she mistake such things, a whole ass man even it was about just yesterday. She had a thing with her dreams not with hallucination she thought looking in his direction pouting her lips so annoyed with herself why in the earth she meet such kind of mad people just like her?
"I am sure it was him."
Her eyes enlarged realizing with who she was talking to now she again lowered her eyes. She was cooking sentences in her head what could she possibly do now she was alone there in that big hallway alone. But she had to leave.
"Pardon my mistake, sir, I am in a hurry, don't take me wrong I have to leave."
Again she heard nothing but dead silence this time she aside him and took her leave from there with her slow and steady step then started running leaving that man behind her. Enola didn't dare to look back. His heart was racing at full speed. Her cheeks reddened hands were sweating. She was nervous as fuck somehow she handled herself from breaking there. She was still confused about how she just survived after facing him. Enola never felt terror seeing anyone in her life till now. Is something wrong with her or him?
She finally got a cab, thanking her fate she left from there only wishing that lady had not left her house.

Damien was lost in her. His eyes were desperate to see her and when he finally saw her he became motionless, stiffened at his place, lips glued to speak or react to anything. Neither did he want to open his mouth in front of her it would be too tough for him to control himself then. He was looking at the kitten which was trying to sleep in his embrace. He was too shocked with his behavior, from where he became this gentle.
"Enola Sheridan"
Damien stopped on his track to caress that kitten on his lap hearing Austin who was in the driving seat. He looked at him through the mirror as the eye contact between them turned heavy. Austin looked at him and then again focused himself on the road.
"I have noticed how you were staring at her."
Damien chuckled hearing him. He put down the kitten from his lap as it was sleeping peacefully. He spread his legs, relaxing himself more, losing his tie leaning his head, and closed his eyes. Nothing came from his mouth about her only silence.
"You know her?"
Austin's question makes him smile, which startled him a bit. But rather than answering his question, he asked him
"What's with your building breaking thing Austin?"
Austin sighed in his frustration making Damien to chuckled and again close his eyes. Knowing everything in the first place but not wanting to answer Austin's question he just twisted his question to him.
"Nothing, maybe she is a residence from the Saint colony and she saw that we burned that house and she was very curious and started to shoot her questions at me, somehow I managed her for her convenience. Such a pain she was how can a person be this annoying."
Damien chuckled loudly at the end of his sentence.
"I forgot to tell you that man filed a complaint with the local police for his house. The SP just notified me, and was telling me how he creates a scene there"
A smile of satisfaction formed on his face hearing Austin. That was what he wanted.
"Good, tell that SP to send him where he is supposed to create a scene."
Austin nodded again asking.
"But you didn't answer you know her?"
Damien turned silent. Too strained to answer anything or maybe he doesn't want to. What could be his reason Austin thought. He knows him well. Where his eyes stuck once he can never let that go away from his sight. His gaze was too obvious for her he wanted to possess her. That is him, he doesn't do anything without reason. But why is he behaving this unusual? His behavior suddenly turned upside down that too in one day. Too much for Austin to solve this theory. He just brushed off all the thoughts off of him. Dropping the idea of understanding him, he spares one look at him who was closing his eyes aware of the fact that he was not sleeping.

It's been 30 minutes they are sitting like this without uttering any words. Enola reached her home when she saw that the woman was about to leave. Maybe her luck was on her side today she came exactly at the right time. She pleaded herself to stay a few more minutes as she explained her reason for being late. Somehow the lady understood but from then she glued her mouth like she could not speak. What is going on in people they all are blessed with mouths and voices but they seem not to be interested in opening in front of her. She widened her eyes cursing herself, she had again started to think about that fine man Damien Adler.
"Zoning out in someone's thought Miss.?"
Finally, she opened her mouth which brought her back into reality. She got shocked for a moment then cleared her thoughts.
"Glad you can speak; I mean to say you finally said something."
The woman laughed as she bit her tongue she did not know where she should say what or what not.
"I am Enola, sorry I made you wait for so long."
"It's ok Miss. But time management is important, I am letting this go for this time. Let me introduce myself. I am Riana Adler."
Enola froze in her place upon hearing that name. Again it's him. Why everything around her is nothing but only him? He is making her insane eventually. She cannot process anything without thinking about him, he surely does know something magic or he actually cast a spell on her with his deadly hypnotizing eyes.
"Adler?"
She couldn't help but ask her. if she somehow related to him.
"Yes, why what happened?"
Enola didn't let that overpower her mind this time. A surname can be owned by different persons, It's nothing strange. Enola replied with a sweet smile on her face.
"Nothing, I was just thinking of someone as the surname also belongs to that person"
"The reason for your being zoned out, isn't it?"
Enola's smile dropped from her face upon hearing her. Ohhh yeah, she did catch her red-handed and her burning cheeks didn't even try to hide that accusation at all. But the fact was bothering her why her heart was leaving her peace seeing him. He set her heart on fire but the fire was not capable of burning its beating
