Damian's POV
"Surprised to see you without your little pet,"
I'm about to be bored to death at Oliver's party. Well, sort of a "party". It's just a club where a lot of actors hang
out, and he just invited a few more, and tagged it a "truth and dare" themed night. | enjoy a drink with him

But how could | not? She's perfect. Lilith is a great work companion, a kind person and a cute girl. She works
herself to the most, but she would pourcoffee and tellto get good rest. The only problem is, that she

an unspoken contract, and we all got what we asked for out of it.
But Lilith is not like that, and that's why it's hard to make a move. She appears to enjoy our ttogether, but
she doesn't allow it further. Yet when | even try to put a little distance between us, she givesa sad look as if |

"You will thankmore when my surprises arrive," Oliver grins at me, waving his phone, "The files | sent you,
have you seen them?"
"Yes, | have. Ava Fuller's blood type
is RH- while Scarlett Fuller's is AB. So, you think Ava Fuller is our little
sister? How did you even get the Fuller sisters' medical records by the way??" | close my eyes again, leaving my
arms draping freely. That's no news. After all, she had Mom's necklace on her neck, "Is she the surprise we are
waiting for tonight?"
"YOUR sister," Oliver laughs as he stresses that word, "Uncle Johnny raised me, and I'm grateful, but | know
better than to change my nto Vanderbilt."
