Maya heaved a sigh as soon as Damian disappeared. He didn’t say anything about her being downstairs so that meant the maids in charge we’re not in trouble.’Thank goodness, I don’t want another person getting shot because of me," she mumbled. She picked up the remote of the giant T.V that was sitting in front of her and soon she was browsing through channels looking for something to watch. After browsing through serious of channels she felt bored and turned it off. Just when she was about to drop the remote, the cover page of the newspaper caught her eye."CEO OF TRUTH ENTERPRISES ANNOUNCES ENGAGEMENT TO AMANDA AMANDA." She read with her eyes wide. Alfred and Maya are engaged? So this was their plan all along. She always knew Amanda and her mother were up to something but to do this to her? Tears blurred her vision as her father cold words hit her again. She had herself countless times not to cry because they didn’t deserve her tears. None of them, including her father.She should be
"Wow, I guess Simons wasn’t wrong,"the old man smiled wrinkles appearing at the corner of his eyes."Grandpa, what have I told you about traveling without my knowledge?"Damian sighed clearly annoyed."See? Your grandfather came you visit you and you scold him?"the old man said sitting in the chair opposite Damian."So why did you come here, without telling me?"Damian questioned emphasizing on the last three words. Maya watched Damian with a frown on her face.’This man truly has no manners. How can he speak to his grandfather like this?’ She thought whiles shaking her head."Grandpa, I’ve always told you to inform me before traveling. You don’t worry about your health but I do. If....."Damian paused and looked at Maya. Maya raised a questioning brow in response to Damian’s gaze."If something happens to you, I won’t step foot at the hospital,"he told the old man."Where were you when Mother Nature was sharing manners?"Maya said making both heads snap towards her direction. One head ha
"Tony you have to eat something you’ll starve to death over that girl," Lisa tried to coax her husband into eating the food she had made. Deep down she didn’t want to do all this but she had to because her daughter’s marriage with Alfred was on the line.Maya really messed up. She was supposed to be married to Alfred and leave a lavish and luxurious life but she decided to cheat on him. That girl really didn’t deserve anything good. Taking in a deep breath, she smiled inwardly at the thought of her daughter carrying Alfred’s last name.Just then Amanda came through the door carrying shopping bags, a bright smile plastered on her lips."Mom guess what?" She said grinning. "I was at Alfred’s office today and he made me buy all these things online and within an hour all of them were delivered to me," she beamed.Lisa hurriedly got up from her seat and run to her daughter. Tony, who had been watching them shook his head and went to his room. Lisa scoffed and rolled her eyes as she watched
"M...Maya??"Amanda stammered, turning pale as if she had seen a ghost. "I’m sure you work here," Amanda said faking a smile to hide her shock.Maya bit her bottom lip and chuckled. This knuckle head sister of hers hadn’t changed a bit."How is dad?" Maya couldn’t stopped herself from asking."Dad? The last time I checked he disowned you," Amanda chuckled. "And if you think you’re ever coming back, lemme tell you this. The night you left, dad himself forbade us from ever talking about you. He even said you’re dead to him. He said he only has one daughter and that is me," Amanda said proudly."You’re pathetic," Maya scoffed."Not as much as you are," Amanda rolled her eyes."Now if you don’t mind, help me try a wedding dress. Alfred will be here soon," Amanda said in an attempt to make Maya jealous."Didn’t you hear what she said?" Damian chipped in pointing to the worker."Oh puh...lease," Amanda rolled her eyes."And who are you to question me? I do what I want so go back to work and
Maya groaned loudly as she sat lazily in the couch. "I have never been out for shopping this long," she said taking off her sandals. A maid immediately brought two glasses of orange juice on a tray."Oh my God thank you so much. I really needed this." Maya said taking one of the glass. Damian shook his head when he was offered a glass drawing Maya’s attention."Why?" She said with a slight frown."Not a fan of orange juice," Damian replied getting up. "Gotta run," he said glancing at his watch.Maya looked at him and smiled at how casual he was behaving. He has been behaving like this since his grandfather scolded him. Did he really have a change of heart?’Was he pretending for the sake of his grandfather?’Maya thought but shook her head slightly. There was no way he was pretending because everything he was doing looked and felt real."A penny for your thoughts?" Damian asked, breaking her chain of thoughts."What time will you be back?" The question came out of Maya lips before she
Damian had his head buried in a stack of papers when a knock came on the door."Come in,"He said and the door opened revealing his secretary. She was dressed in a black pencil skirt and a white shirt, which revealed almost half of her boobs despite all the buttons being closed. The top button looked like it was about to fall."Dress more decently to work next time or you’re fired,"Damian said coldly."Yes sir,"she said forcing a smile to hide her disappointment. She had specifically dressed like this to get his attention and instead she received a warning."Why are you here?"Damian asked never taking his eyes off the file he was reading." A package was brought in for you,"she mumbled."Drop it and get out,"Damian said and the woman did as she was told.Once alone, he took the small box-like package and opened it revealing a brand new phone. He stared at it for a while and got back to work. Maya didn’t have a phone and gifting her this would really make her happy.Damian wondered why
"So now that you know I’m right, tell me what you’re hiding," the old man pulled Damian out of thoughts. Damian sighed and sat on his desk."Grandpa I....I think I’m in love," he said searching for an unknown something in the old man’s eyes."I knew it," Master Dan grinned. "So why don’t you tell her?" Master Dan suggested.Damian let out a sigh and shook his head."What if she doesn’t feel the same way? That means I will lose her and I don’t want that to happen," Damian said and Master Dan chuckled."I thought I raised you to take risks and always get what you want," he said and a faint smile played on Damian’s lips."This is about love grandpa.""Are you trying to say I know nothing about love?""Not really," Damian shrugged with a teasing smile."And Maya is going through a really tough time right now," Damian said, his smile suddenly disappearing."She never told me," Master Dan said."Her fiancé cheated on her with another woman the night before their wedding or so...""That bast
"My best friend is in town and I was wondering....""Yeah, you can go see her," Damian agreed before she could complete her sentence."Really?" Maya’s face lit up."Yeah. The driver will drive you there and bring you home after you’re done," Damian said."Yay.....thank you so much," Maya squealed in excitement and rushed to hug him.Damian’s body froze immediately Maya wrapped her arms around his waist, pressing her soft body against his. Her warm body sent tingling sensations throughout his body and he couldn’t stop himself from sucking in her sweet scent. Just as he was about to hug her back, she pulled back."Sorry, I was just excited," Maya said bowing her head in embarrassment. Damian cleared his throat and loosened his tie a little. The effect of Maya’s hug had not left him completely."It’s fine, have fun with your friend." Damian said and left. Immediately she heard the click sound of the door, Maya squealed in pure joy and high-fived the air. She quickly rushed to the bathroo
