Damien may appear to be strong and holding up, but the truth is he was suffering seeing her like this, making her wake up early and go to physical therapy is the hardest part of the day, he has to coax her every day so that she goes.

But, he will never give up on her, even if he had to do everything for her.

...

At Ray's mansion.

Nora locked her room before she answered the phone to make sure that no one would enter.

"Ryan." Nora answered,

"I missed you." Hearing his words she blushed.

"Me too." She replied, still not able to say I missed you too.

"I couldn't go back yesterday because my mom wanted to talk with me." Nora said and heard him laugh.

"It's okay, what did your Mom want to talk to you about?" Ryan asked.

"She asked me about where I go without the personal driver." Nora replied.

+And what did you tell her?" He asked.

"I told that I was just going for a walk, but I think she started to suspect me." Nora said and waited for him to say something.

"The way you are talking right now it makes me feel that we are high school lovers, don't worry, just do as I tell you and they won't find out, didn't you tell me that they are going for a business trip the next week?" Ryan asked.

"Yes." Nora replied.

"Then let's wait until your parents leave, though it will be hard to not be able to see the whole week, if that will put you at ease then it's worth it the wait." He said knowing that this trick will go on her.

She will think that he is doing this for her.

What a stupid girl, Ryan thought to himself as he smiled to himself.

"Thank you, but you can call every day." Nora said, happy to know that he cares for.

"Of course I will don't worry, take care." Ryan said.

"You too, take care." Nora said before she hung up the phone.

Nora giggled to herself, feeling very happy, it looks like she is going to have a happy ending like the heroines in the love stories novels.

...

Christmas eve, At Ina apartment.

Ina looked at the dinner table that Damien and smiled.

"This looks delicious." Ina said as she was about to eat when Damien stopped her.

"What?" Ina looked at him confused.

"Wait, go and take a shower and after that wear the dress that I brought for you." Damian said as he dragged her towards the bedroom.

Walking towards the wardrobe, he opened it and took out a wight bag and walked back towards her and handed it to her.

"Don't look at it now, take a shower first and then wear it, don't take long." Damien said kissing her forehead before he left the room.

Ina looked at the bag before she placed it on the bed and walked towards the bedroom.

Taking a quick shower, Ina did her hair and walked out of the bathroom.

Opening the bag, she took out the dress and placed it on the bed.

Ina smiled as she looked at the beautiful and elegant maroon dress.

Biting her lower lip, Ina fought the urge to not cry.

He is so sweet.

Ina wore her dress and looked at herself in the mirror, she put on a light make up and wore matching high heels with the dress and looked at herself in the mirror for the last time.

"It's perfect." Damian said as he entered the room.

Ina turned around looking at him and smiled.

"You look handsome." Ina said looking at the charming before her.

"Not, beautiful as you." Damien said as he closed the gap between them, pulling her close to him by the waist.

Ina placed her hands on his chest, looking at him.

"It turned out that you are the romantic type." Ina said and heard him chuckle.

Pecking her lips, Damien said.

"I have all the qualities for a perfect boyfriend."

"Hmm, you do, I'm very lucky, now let's go eat. I'm very hungry." Ina said making Damien laugh as he followed her out of the room.

...

At the dinner table.

"Ina, stop crying." Damien said as he rubbed her back soothingly.

"It's the tears of happiness." Ina said between her sobs.

Damien shocked his head hopelessly and wiped her tears.

"If you are really happy then stop crying." Damien said as he handed her a tissue.

Nodding her head, Ina took from him the tissue.

"I'm sorry, I just became overwhelmed by all of this." Ina said as she looked at him.

"I know, you have gone through a lot lately, so tonight let's just enjoy our time and not think about anything." He said kissing her forehead.

"Yes, let's do this." Ina replied.

"Also, we are going on a trip to europe, next week." Damien said surprising Ina.

"I don't think that we should go, at least not now." Ina said and saw Damien frown.

"Why?" Damien asked her and noticed that she didn't reply.

Ina was about to reply but the doorbell rang.

Ina frowned and stood up to see who was on the door.

Opening the door, Ina widened her eyes and gulped in fear.

"Mom, Dad." Ina said in a shocked tone.

"Honey, merry Christmas." Her mother said and hugged her daughter.

Looking at her father, he winked at her and smiled, making the latter confused.

"Are you not happy seeing your parents?" Her mother said as she pulled away.

"What, no. no, I'm just surprised." Ina said tried to appear normal.

"It seems that you have company." Her father said as he pulled into a hug.

Pulling away, Ina glared at her father.

Is he crazy, Mom for sure is going to kill me.

"Ah, yes, he is a friend of mine." Ina said, smiling weakly.

"Ina."

Ina widened her eyes and her body froze hearing Damien's voice.

She is so doomed tonight.

Damien looked at the Ina parents and then walked forward to greet them.

"Good evening, ma'am and merry Christmas, I'm Damien Ray, Ina boyfriend." Damien spoke politely to the older women as he extended his hand for her but she didn't take it.

"Boyfriend?" Her mother asked as she looked at her.

This man, id is her daughter's boyfriend, she was so disappointed with her daughter's choice.

"Mom, let's eat dinner first and then we can talk after this." Ina said, trying to lighten the mood.

"No, I'm not moving from here, this man has to go and you are so grounded."

"Mom, don't talk to him like this." Ina said and pressed her lips together.

"Go to your room, now." Her mother said.

"Ma'am, Ina is not a young girl to speak to her like this." Damien said getting angry with this woman.

"Don't teach me how to speak to my daughter." Her mother replied glaring at him.

This man had somehow manipulated her daughter's mind.

"Mom, that's enough, stop judging him before even having a proper conversation with him, Damien is not like what you hear about him in the news, and so what if he was a player boy, Dad was like that before he met you." Ina said as she walked towards Damien.

"If you don't try to accept him, I will leave with him right now." Ina said as she interlinked her hand with Damien's hand.

"Now, now, let's stop all of this madness." Ina father finally spoke when he saw that things had gotten out of hand.

Turning towards his wife, William spoke.

"Honey, give the boy chance, our daughter is no longer young, she is twenty years old, we raised her good, so she is capable of taking her own decisions."

Looking at her daughter, her mother noticed how she was looking at the man beside her.

"I'm only giving you a chance because I don't want to lose my daughter." Her mother said to Damien.

"Thank you, Ma'am." Damien said.

Ina felt sorry for Damien for having to deal with her mother.

...

At the dinner table.

"You made all of this?" Her mother asked her.

Ina looked at Damien before she replied to get his approval.

"No, it's Damien, he cocked everything, including the desert." Ina replied and watched her mother look at Damien with a suspension.

Ignoring that man, her mother asked again.

"Does he stays here with you?"

Ina took a deep breath trying to calm her, she doesn't like the way her mother is ignoring Damien.

"Yes, he is, I asked him to, Damien doesn't live here in London, he is only here to visit me." Ina replied.
