FLASHBACK"Are you alright?" Diam asked, his voice laced with immense concern.It's been weeks since Baby came into his life and home. Been weeks he stopped existing and started living. Everything changed with her around. His austerity was replaced with warmth and enthusiasm. Everyday, he looked forward to waking up in the morning and finding her in his arms. She was his muse, he'd learnt to embrace that fact. Those unsure feelings were sure now– he cared for her, more than he'd ever cared for anyone. All his life, he'd seen ladies as bland. Their incessant fawning to get their way into his bed had triggered the disgust he felt towards ladies. But Baby, she was different. You could see it all in her eyes, no room for pretence. She was an open book, and each day, he was addicted to reading her, knowing her. His rash decision in making her his partner certainly paid off. Now he wondered what life would be like if she wasn't here. But she was, by his side, in his car, with that flushed
The two guys hurried to the parking lot, which was at a secluded area, away from the main parking lot of the clubhouse. The Danes practically ran the place, so it's no wonder they had their own...everything! David, on seeing them, alighted from the car and bowed his head."Where is he?" Blane asked. "He's inside, Sir Blane.""Open it.""Sure." David nodded and opened the door, revealing a sleeping Diam and Baby.Any onlooker would find it impossible to say who looked more stupified amongst the two guys. They both had their eyes barely hanging to their sockets, gaping at the sight in front of them.Roland spoke first, but it was more of a stutter. "That's...that can't be...is that... really Diam?""Nah, it can't be." Blane chuckled incredulously. "There has to be an oversight.""Yeah, like...what if that guy is an imposter? A lookalike?""No, Sir Roland. That's Sir Dane Diam.""Like I said, an oversight. You gotta think. Figure out the loophole. Maybe at some point, you picked up a m
Dane Diam could only do so much as wait after he pressed the doorbell.The cold breeze hovering over the suburb swept through him. It was something he'd gotten familiar with. The cold breeze. The serenity. The faint rhythm from the windmill. The endless meowing cats in the next building. Distant chattering. The old couple always on the patio of the house across the road. He was familiar with just...everything.His constant visit these two months was enough to get him familiar with the place. His last visit here had been terrible. He'd caught a cold from the chilly breeze. Baby had sensed his agony and threw him out drenched in cold water.He caught the bad flu that had him bedridden for weeks. Stupid that he had sought for her again once he recuperated.Diam Dane shuddered. This time, It wasn't because of the breeze. It was the awful fate awaiting him behind the closed door. He reached for the doorbell again, but the door flew open immediately.He froze, gulping at the sight of her.
FLASHBACKS.Baby had her aunt's number on the redial. The situation was totally out of their control. They needed all the help they could get."Please pick up, aunt." Baby was getting scared with each call her aunt missed. She redialed but still got nothing."Did she pick up?" Her Father asked. The situation had him weary and confused. He knew just as much as she did that her aunt was their last hope."...and that's forty times. Fuck!" Baby spattered, hurling the phone to a corner. She ran her hand through her hair in utter frustration. This wouldn't end well. Not when they had no one to turn to."Your aunt Silvia has never been there for us. Whenever we needed help, she disappears. But when things are going smoothly, then be prepared to have her around every second.""That's not the issue here, Father. The deadline is impossible. We can't afford such money so quickly. Even if we're given all our lives, we still wouldn't be able to afford it!""It's alright, Baby. I will look for a wa
On that memorable day, Baby had to go seek help from Dane Diam. He was the boss of her Father. An important file that contained a special delivery which was worth 8.5 million dollars was stolen in Phillips Smith's care and resulted in a big problem. Baby asked for help and sure, help was given to her, but in a very unexpected way."What did you just say?" Dane Diam stood up from his swivel, leather chair. His stare was intense and hard on her. He could not believe she had just agreed to his proposal without giving it a second thought. It was the most vulgar proposal he'd ever made. It was inappropriate in all ways. She seemed like a naive one. Surely, he'd expected her to weep and beg for mercy. It was more than shocking that she'd accepted his insane proposal in a heartbeat. Diam walked closer to her. With a turn of the swivel chair she was sitting in, he was staring deep down into her eyes."Do you, by any chance, understand what I just proposed to you?""Yes, Sir DaneDiam." Baby g
Phillips Smith prepared a delicious macaroni with cheese which would serve as dinner for his daughter and him.Seated on the dining table, they laughed and talked like they had zero worries.Baby had locked away the proposal with Diam in the basement of her heart. Never was she gonna go back to his office. She was perfectly fine where she was, with her Father."Father?" "Yes, Baby""Thank you.""For what?""Your love. Your kindness, and most of all, your support."Philips Smith smiled at his daughter's soft words. "I'll always support you in any decision you make. Always.""I know." Baby beamed but it vanished instantly. "Now what?"Phillips Smith sighed sullenly. "I'll go to Mr. Diam and explain to him. Don't you worry about a thing.""Do you think he'll agree to it? Won't he think we're messing with him?""I don't know. But don't think about that too much, hm? Let's just eat for now. We've got plenty of time to worry about that."After dinner, the father and daughter sat on the cou
Baby packed up a few clothes and left with Diam in his car. It was a long, quiet ride that she dozed off. Diam woke her up with a soft shake when they arrived at his mansion."Welcome to my humble aboard." He stepped out of the car, stretching out a hand to her.Baby placed her hand on his and he helped her alight from the car.She couldn't stop drooling at the many magnificent things surrounding her. Everything was different like she'd just entered a whole different world.She knew this neighborhood. 'Smiles', that's what it's called. It was the haven for the richest amongst the rich. You only get to reside in 'Smiles' if you're ranked 1-15 in the top richest here in California.It was a very beautiful and peaceful place. The middle-class and lower-class are never allowed into 'Smiles'. Many lower classes did try to work as maids but these rich folks would never allow it. Their maids were college graduates. Skilled and tactical. There was no room for mistakes and tackiness.Diam led
Baby was on the verge of freaking out. Never had she been in such an intimate position with any man. But here she was and it definitely was the most uncomfortable thing ever.Signing that contract had meant she was to pander to his every whim. But she just couldn't let him do to her whatever pleases him. And she sure as hell wasn't going to bed without a bath."Sir Diam? Please, allow me to go take my bath first." Her words had a little difficulty coming out. She had to squirm a little to get them out. But Diam made no move. He said no words either. "Sir Diam."He replied with a little pull, bringing her closer to himself. Her boobs were squashed against his rugged, bared chest. She tried squirming again but it was impossible. There was no more room for that. Her heart raced as she saw his face close to hers, close enough that she could feel his breathing caress her face."Si..."Her words never came out. Diam had claimed her lips in a ravaging kiss. It was so sudden she didn't know
