Chapter 14
He definitely needed to set things straight with Olivia, things were starting to get out of hand.
He turned her chin to the side and it seemed a bit better now. "So, you want to end the contract, that can be arranged." Really? Was it that easy? If it was that easy then she should have asked him a long time ago.
"You get your lawyer, I get mine, and we discuss how to cancel the contract." "What?"
How would she get a lawyer? Not that getting a lawyer was hard but the thought of explaining to her lawyer that she had signed a sexual contract. How was she going to go about that? She stared at Stephan who had a serious look on his face. "When should I be expecting your lawyer?"
Dawn thought, If getting a lawyer meant that the contract could be cancelled then she was just going to have to hide her shame and explain to this lawyer, but who could she trust with such information and she would have to pay. Goodness gracious! She would have to pay a lawyer for this nonsense.
Stephan looked at her with a smirk, he figured she was adding the maths together. How dare she want to end a contract? Worst part he was being too nice to her and too patient. Woman who had gotten this contract in the past were happy about it and even asked for a renewal.
Even without a contract, women where falling at his feet. He knew Olivia was also an obstacle but still this woman just didn't like him one bit, he was intrigued by it. This woman not only shouted at him but found his touch irritating. He had catched her cleaning her hands some seconds ago when she had escaped his grasp.
"I will be here first thing tomorrow morning."
"Very well then," Stephan smiled, he went back to his seat. "I will schedule our meeting by eight, if that's okay by you."
"Twelve."
"Always negotiating, very well twelve. If that is all, I will have my bodyguards excort you."
"Thank you." She appreciated him and stood up. "Em...I wanted to ask..." Now that they seemed to be having a conversation it wasn't bad to get answers to all her questions. She sat down back on the chair. "Are you and my sister...."
"That will be all Miss Hemlocks." He said opening his laptop.
This arrogant man.
Dawn hissed, stood up and picked the contract on the floor. If she was getting a lawyer, she needed the contract as evidence.
"Fighting with Dawn isn't going to solve anything." Damien said, he had stayed back to talk to Olivia and find out what had happened to cause them to want to fight. Olivia had explained that Dawn was trying to steal her man. Damien couldn't believe that, Dawn wasn't that type of lady, Olivia maybe, but Dawn would never stoop so low. While he and Dawn dated, she had been loyal and loving to him always, she made him feel special but he had gotten wrapped up in his business.
Distance also became a barrier for them when Dawn decided to go to her fashion school, they barely talked on phone and when they did, they fought over irrelevant issues.
Now that he thought about it, they were pretty naive to the whole concept of relationship. They loved each other, yes, but they didn't quite understand the dynamics of how to keep the love going.
Now that Damien was back, he had it in mind to get back Dawn and rekindle their love. He knew she still had feelings for him but hearing that some other man was in the way, didn't quite sit well with him.
She hadn't even looked at him in the eyes, she had just zoomed off.
"She has changed, she isn't your little Dawn anymore. She is now a loose cannon." Olivia explained sipping her juice, she had gone to change while Damon waited for her. She had decided to wear her pyjamas because after this conversation, she just wanted to get high and try to forget all what happened at the hotel.
If she could not have Stephan then she planned to ruin Damien's love for Dawn. How dare Dawn defile her and go to Stephan?
"That isn't the point, she is your sister and nothing can change that, but this man, you can't let a man destroy what you guys have."
Damien had a point, Olivia thought, but she was too angry right now to think straight, so many plans were forming in her heads.
Maybe she didn't need to destroy Damien's love for her, maybe she had to make Damien and Dawn rekindle their love. Then Stephan would be left alone and she could come in.
"You are right." Olivia sighed. If she wanted to push this plan she needed Damien to believe that she wasn't the bad egg and that she mean't well."Am really worried about her, since you guys broke up, her heart has been shattered and she has been acting different."
"I am sure she has her reasons." Damien replied as Dawn stepped in, she stared at both of them sitting in the parlor and went to the nearest seat and sat down.

For the first time since today she was aware of Damien presence, she knew he would still be here waiting for her, during her drive back, she had thought about what Stephan said about getting a lawyer.
"We have come to an agreement to cancel the contract." Dawn said looking at Olivia.
"Nice to meet you too Dawn." Damien responded realizing that even thou Dawn had caught his eyes she was still avoiding him. Was she still mad at him over the break up?
"Really?" Olivia said in a dry tone but she was happy to hear that but it still sounded fishy.
"I will be going there with a lawyer tomorrow to get it all cleared, I hope you are happy now." She said standing up and about to leave as Damien stood up and grabbed her hand.
"We can't keep doing this, you are not picking my calls and now you are pretending not to see me."
"I didn't pretend not to see you, I am not just talking to you "
Olivia knew it was her cue to leave, she walked out of the living room, but into the dinning so she could listen to their conversation.
"We need to talk, you can't keep avoiding me forever."
"And what do you want to talk about?"
"Us?"
"And what about.. us?"
"Dawn." Damien called out. "I know you still love me and..."
"Look I am really not in the mood for this nonsense right now, I need a lawyer do you have any good lawyer you can recommend to me."
"A lawyer? What do you need a lawyer for?"
"I need to deal with some issues."
"Did something happen?" Was this about their little argument? But it didn't make sense, how could she need a lawyer? What was really going on?

"Not really, I just need a lawyer... Do you have one or not?" Dawn had wanted to discuss it with Olivia but she was too angry right now, and wasn't in the mood to talk to Olivia at all.
She remembered when she and Damien were dating, he used to have one lawyer like that plus Damien also went to lawyer school but never took it up as a profession.
"Well if you need a lawyer, then I will need to know why, so I can recommend the best for whatever the case might be."
"I need to sort out some contract papers, I want to cancel the contract."
"Well if you want to terminate any contract then I am the right guy for you," Damien replied.
"You?"
"Yes, I have been the one overlooking all my companies contract. So I am very sure whatever it might be, I can sort it out." "Well..."
"I can reassure you that whatever the case might be it will be terminated immediately..." He could see the look in her eyes, he didn't yet know what the contract was about, but if he was to be Dawn's lawyer. It mean't that they would have to work together, and he was looking forward to any means to spend time with her.
"Here is the duvet."
"Thank you." Damien appreciated collecting the duvet from Olivia, he had requested to sleep over but Dawn had insisted he went home instead and come back very early tomorrow morning, so they could go to the office, but Olivia had tried to cause an argument claiming that Dawn was being ungrateful to him.
She had suggested he sleep in Dawn's room as the guest room had not been cleaned in years, and it would take a day for Blaire to do so, Dawn rolled her eyes at both of them and walked out angry. In a way, he felt Olivia was trying to get them back together.
"Dinner will be ready soon." Olivia informed him closing the door to the room. He stared at the contract still confused as to how Dawn had gotten herself tangled up in this mess.
A sexual contract with that bastard Stephan, he had to swear to Dawn not to mention their discussion to a soul before Dawn opened up to him about the whole story.
His brother and Stephan were business rivals for years, he never hated Stephan but over the years through his brothers influence, he had started to despise Stephan, and finding out that he would do something like this to Dawn even made him angrier.
He couldn't wait for tomorrow to come so he could see the bastard face to face, not only was he a pain in the ass to his brother, he was also trying to steal his woman away from him.
Dawn walked in on him, not even bothered by whatever he was doing, she dragged the duvet on the bed.
"What are you doing?"
