“Strange things conspire when one tries to cheat fate.”
Dominic POV??
It was eight in the morning. I went to my room and started my routine with a cup of coffee which was served by my secretary every morning.
I put down the pen in my hand and glanced at my phone when I heard the ringtone.
“Morning, Will.” I greeted the caller.
“Morning, bro. How are you?”
“Still survive,” I laughed. “What makes you call me so early?”
“Nah, just want to ask if our CEO is free tonight. Remember last week you said you will free your time and visit me at my bar.”
I heard his cheerful voice on the other line and I could imagine his raised brow when he mentioned the promise.
“Of course, bro. That sounds like a plan.”
“Yeah, that’s my bro,” I laughed when he said that.
“See you at 8 pm.” We ended the call afterwards.
William is one of my best friends. I often hang around in his bar. The place where we normally release the stress on free time.

Night time
Dominic POV??
I decided to wear my gray casual t-shirt with black jeans and a leather jacket. It just wrapped my body perfectly. That was what I got in return for workout frequently. I glanced at the mirror for the last time before leaving my penthouse.
“Hey, bro,” I walk to the crowd that I’m familiar with. William, Andrew, and Sebastian were seated there with their drinks.
Four of us knew each other’s since college time, and we were still together till now.
Before seated at the empty chair, I pulled them into a hug.
“What do you want to drink, Dom?” William asked casually.
“Like normal? No alcohol tonight?” Andrew interrupted before I give the answer. A teasing smile on his face, aware of my habit.
They knew I’m not taking any alcoholic drink and I never liked one. I knew it was rare but it is just me. “Yeah, like normal. Just a coke will do.”
“What a good man ya.” We laughed at Andrew’s statement.
Arabella POV??
I’m wearing an off-shoulder dress in gray color that hugging my figure perfectly. I untied my hair long brown hair and let it fall on my shoulder. I loved how it curled naturally on my back.
I completed my look with a simple makeup and a gray high heels which match with my dress.
I have been forced by Jess to accompany her to the bar. She is having a tough time with her work recently. She knew that I don’t really like the bar, but she still begged me to accompany her tonight.
I can’t refuse her request and I understand her stress in dealing with the work.
“You look so pretty today,” she gushed, the moment I entered the car.
“Stop with your sweet words.
I didn’t do anything special on my appearance today.” I rolled my eyes at her and attacked her with my words.
She burst out laughing. “It’s true, Ara. I love your body. It looks so perfect with that dress.”
We were chit-chatting until we reach the bar; Heavenly Bar. That was the name of the bar. We promised to have a few drinks and chill out without getting drunk.
The loud music hit my eardrums once we entered the bar. It was so crowded with people.
Not sure if it was due to Friday night. People drink and dance happily, well everyone looks free from stress.
Jess dragged me to the second floor, and we settled down on the table in the corner. I preferred this place as it was more comfortable than the lower floor.
The music wasn’t too loud and I prefer it like this since we don’t have to scream at each other when we talk.
“Ara, what is your plan with Matt?” Jess started the conversation after the waiter delivered our drinks.
I sighed when I heard the name. “I’m not sure but I tried not to have any contact with him. I don’t want to get involve with him anymore,” I answered and sips on my drink.
“But you know he is still after you, right?”
“Yeah, it was too obvious but I don’t care about that. I told him last week I don’t want to continue our relationship anymore.
I don’t love him, Jess. Instead, I’m scared of him.” Jess squeezed my hand lightly as she understood what I had gone through with Matt.
“What if you try to make a police report about his action? You can’t hide from him forever. I’m worried about your safety.”
“No.I can’t. I don’t want to drag this issue and be in the spotlight of the media. You know how scary and tense it will be.”
“I understand. Oh, my-” I heard Jess gasped with her shock expression. Her eyes gazed at something.
I turned to that direction and I saw Matt talking with one blonde girl beside him.
I gasped and looked at Jess with my index finger on my lips, motioning her to be silent.
It was too late when Matt turned to our table and his eyes caught our presence there.
I heard his familiar voice shouted for my name. I stood from my seat, sensing the need to escape.
“Ara, run!” I heard Jess’s voice behind me. I ran as fast as I could until I bumped into a hard body in front of me which made me almost fall on the floor until I felt someone catch my body.
