Unwelcome Intrusion  

 

[ESTELLE]

 

I clenched my fists as a wave of jealousy surged through me. I had been in Damien's office all day, and not once had he looked at me with the same soft, focused gaze he was giving Kelsey now.

 

I got it—he liked her. She liked him.

 

But the woman didn't want Damien, not until she achieved her dream of becoming an internationally renowned model. Kelsey was all about ambition, about success.

 

And yet, here she was. Sitting across from Damien, inserting herself into his world whenever she pleased.

 

I rolled my eyes. If you truly loved someone, wouldn't you do anything for them? Wouldn't love be a driving force, not a roadblock?

 

But maybe that was just me.

 

In fact, I should be grateful that she kept rejecting him. The longer she hesitated, the bigger my window of opportunity.

 

"You know how she is," Damien sighed.
