“Chole?" I called out, to be sure I was correct. Chole was the one who had called Irene. Chole waved at me happily, I knew that face. It was Chole's victory face. She wears that smile anytime she completes a challenge. “What's the news baby? Spill Daddy wants to hear you” I leaned over beside Irene to see Chole. Chole waved at me and blew kisses. I was surprised, who taught her that?. “Daddy, I made new friends today and nobody tried to bully me, '' she announced happily. Chole's smile has always been comforting to me. I cheered for my daughter and also tried to bully Irene. " Do you know why you weren't bullied? “ I asked Chole. Irene turned around to look at me, she rolled her eyes and faked a smile at Chole. Chole thought for a while before responding "because I beat up Jake for bullying me? “ She looked at Irene, waiting for her approval. I stole the moment and cheered her again. " And what else baby? “ I asked, deliberately looking for a fight with Iren
My world lit up in seconds. I felt like running to Damien but my legs were stiff, Andy was still on top of me. Andy's throat moved like he swallowed something. He was sweating in seconds on top of me. Damien walked towards, banging the door behind him with his leg. He dragged a stool out from a corner and sat down with his legs crossed. “You are yet to accept my pleasantries Mr Anderson” Damien took off his tie with one hand. Andy was too stunned to speak. His legs were vibrating, I could feel it on mine. His hard erection melted immediately. Andy got off me in a rush and zipped up his trousers. “I… am… Mr Damien, I am sorry “ his words managed to get out of his mouth. I quickly adjusted myself on the sofa and covered my bare breasts with my hands as my dress had already been ripped in pieces. Damien took off his suit and tossed it to me. His eyes were cold! So cold, I got scared for Andy and myself. Many thoughts flashed in and out of my head at once. Will
I twitched my eyes slowly before opening them. The ray from the glass walls reflected on face. I yawned tiredly as my every inch of my body ached. “Ah" I moaned softly as I tried to seat up. My neck was hurting from the wrong position I slept all night. I managed to get out of the sofa and my eyes caught the clock. It was 11:12 am. I slept like a log. The event of the night before flooded my mind, the first word I echoed was “Damien". Oh my, I walked to the bedroom, but he was not there, I checked everywhere but I couldn't find him. My eyes watered in fear, has he left me? Will he file for a divorce and call back all the help he was offering my company? “ Many questions flooded my mind. I got to the bedroom and sat on the bed upset, I knew I was in a big .. In front of me was a gaint mirror, I stared at myself and I looked horrible, my breathe stinked. I got out of Damien's suit and got into the shower. My bruised hands left a red scar on my wrist and arm.I
Damien's POV “I agree. Please don't let this go out I beg you" Anderson cried with tears rolling over his face. He sniffed his nose like a suckling begging desperately. I got out of bed this morning after a long night of tossing left and right in bed. My whole body was on fire, my eyes refused to blink and my mind roamed around like a lost horse. The events of that evening kept me awake all night. I tried to understand how I felt, but I couldn't. I was angry, jealous, mad, sick at the same time. After Irene walked out, Mr Cruiz noticed how distracted I had become. “Would you like to go with your wife?" He asked, trying to be considerate. I bluntly refused and continued our conversation. Mr Cruiz received a call and he clicked on the tablet in front of him, it displayed all the CCTV footage of the hotel. I strangely found interest in it. “Is everything alright Mr Cruiz?" I asked, sipping lemon juice. " I am sorry for that interruption Mr Damien. I need to
He struggled and cried in fear, he kept yelling and moving. I allowed him to wiggle and twist like an earthworm, before putting my knife back in my pocket. “What a show" I laughed and clapped my hands. Mr Cruiz looked towards me and chuckled too in response. “I haven't killed you yet Anderson Williams" I said, raising my hands in surrender. His eyes popped as soon as he heard me. “Kill me?. Please, I promise I Will disappear. I will leave this place, go to Asia, Africa. Please don't kill me” he pleaded. Andy looked helpless as he pleaded. He wasn't the same Andy that he was last night who wanted to rape a drunk woman. “Killing you is showing you mercy. Moreover I don't waste my sins Anderson! You are too small for me to waste a murder case on" I responded. My words brought rays of hope to him again. I could see it in his eyes, he felt relieved. “You have two options, Anderson Williams. One, you are letting go of your shares in my wife's company willingly, 30% of your co
Irene's POV. I laid on my back on the bed after waiting for Damien to come inside after his breakfast in vain. He refused to look at me, he ignored me like a leprose woman. As I laid down, tears rolled down my eyes to my ears, and a few drops soaked the pillow under my head. In self regret, I picked up my buzzing phone by the lampside. It was Maddie. I answered her call and at an instant, she knew something was off.Maddie: What's wrong ma'am? Are you ok?Me:(weakly) what's going on at the company? Is everything intact?Maddie: Yes ma'am, work, production and distribution are going on very well. Over to you, what is going on? You don't sound too good? Under the weather?Me: (silent for a while) Andy tried to force himself on me last night and Damien walked in! Since then, he has avoided me, he has refused to look at me or say anything to me.Maddie: Oh my God! This is really bad? How? Andy? How did he get to Paris? How did he try to? I mean, where?Me: (almost breaki
I felt bad eating dinner alone without Damien. I only appeared to pick a few bite sizes and then left for the pool side. I slowly chewed my food as I stared at the TV's screen clueless. “We can talk now" I heard from behind me. It was Damien. I was happy and shocked at the same time. The news of him talking to me brought smiles to my face. I almost put away my food to listen to whatever he had to say but he stopped me. “Finish your food first" it sounded almost like a command. I nodded and continued my food. My appetite disappeared seconds later. I cleaned up with the napkin and turned to him “i am done “ I whispered. He nodded and gave me a go ahead to speak. "About last night, I didn't mean to.. I mean, Andy was all over and it happened. I never meant to offend or something “ my words came out blanked and plain. Damien raised his eyebrows and stared at me for the first time. I saw so many unsaid words in his eyes."Damien… ." He smirked and finally spoke ba
Damien got down and took his bags upstairs himself. Chloe and I walked behind the maids as they helped me with my bags. I got to Chloe's room and I was impressed. Raymond was a good babysitter after all. Chole showed me her new painting skills, it was a beautiful picture of herself and Damien. “I made this for daddy" she showed me with a genuine smile on her face. I admired the picture and sat down. Chole sat down and leaned on me and we watched cartoons together. It was more than an hour since Damien and I got back from the airport. The door opened and Damien walked in on shorts. He smelled really nice. “Baby" His deep voice called for Chole as he sat down on her bed. Chole left my arms and met him. He handed the shopping bags from the hotel to her. “I got you new jewelry, bags and toys from Paris," he said, rubbing her hair. Chole jumped on Damien excitedly and kissed him all over screaming "You remembered! Thank you daddy” . I fixed my eyes away from the
