They were worried about me, I didn't get in touch for almost three hours.

"Hold on," Danylo hands me a plate with food, "Do you want to still watching it?"

"Are you still asking? " I exclaim. "Turn it on, of course."

"I knew you would like it," he laughs quietly and turns on the TV series.

I imperceptibly look at him. Danylo wears grey sweatpants and a white T-shirt, everything as usual. He smells like shower gel with a hint of sea breeze, his face is perfectly shaven, even his hair is styled today. However, no matter how good it is for me to be next to him now, tomorrow his wife will return, it is her he will lie down in the same bed, it is her he will kiss and swear his love for. In a few months, Danylo will have a child and I will lose him forever. He is my support, my ray of sunshine in these dark and prickly thorns, my enlightenment, my second chance for a new life. But this should not happen. Never. I will not destroy the family, I will not fall in love with him, I will not try to let him be more into my life, although he has already filled it.

"I feel so good next to you." he says quietly, and I smile, but I don't allow myself to say the same thing in return

These thoughts start to burn in my chest, a feeling as if someone is slowly breaking my bones from the inside, and my heart slowly stops beating. The smile disappears on my face, and my legs are already carrying me to the exit. I don't explain anything, just get dressed and say goodbye to Danylo. I know that we will meet tomorrow, that everything will fall into place, but tonight I will do my best to get him out of my head.

Chapter 27

"I will kill this bastard." I run into the staff room and just huff and puff with anger.

"He again?" asks Danylo and comes closer.

"Again?" I ask. "It did not stop."

In one of the VIP-rooms, someone has taken up residence, and thinks that he can feed everyone here and treat us as his own slaves. Is this a strip club or something?

The fact that he accidentally touched me all these days I could dismiss, but today he brazenly grabbed my hand and hugged me to his body already crossed all limits.

"Do you want me to talk to him?"

"I don't think that it will benefit you if it says fought with a patient in your file."

"No, darling, I won't fight with him." Danylo puts his hands on my shoulders and looks straight into my eyes." I will beat him. "A wide smile spreads on his face.

"No need," I groan. "I'll figure it out myself, I'll say that I'm not going to take care of him anymore."

"If he even touches you with a finger, then..."

"Okay, that's enough Superman, better tell me how you're doing?""Good, but there is something better," he winks and smiles.

"What?" I raise my eyebrows and cross my arms over my chest.

"You, me," he points to us one by one, "many friends and music."

"Oh," I moan, "a party is probably the last thing I want."

"All our friends will be there."

"And you are going? What about Zlata?"

"She wants to be alone and doesn't mind me having a little fun. Will you keep me company?"

"I don't know," I say tiredly.

"Amelia," he comes closer to me, "allow yourself to rest a little."

"The last time I allowed myself to rest a little, they slipped something in my drink and if Sebastian wasn't there, I don't know where I would be now."

"You didn't tell me this," Danylo frowns.

"You still don't know much about my past life," I smile.
