The ambassadors were so annoyed by the unexpected turnout of Aella’s performance that a pissed Damien grabbed onto the microphone that was held by the master of the ceremony and began talking.“I’m deeply saddened to put the entire program on complete hold. As an unfortunate incident just happened with one of our designers, please accept my apologies." Damien said with his gaze completely set on the audience, most especially the pissed-off brand ambassadors. He lowered his gaze and went backstage.Aella, who was already sad, felt her worries heightened as she thought Damien would now make her life a living hell. She was sure it was Marie, but she didn't have a single proof of her claims.Damien ignored her as he turned and grabbed Marie’s hand again. Knowing that Marie had always liked him, he took that and used it to his advantage. He decided to make her utterly jealous. Now he didn't want to end the contract marriage; he wanted to make her pay for a mistake she didn't make.Damien t
Aella’s mom couldn't help but plead with her not to chase her away; she had made a mistake and the past could not be altered. She kept pleading and asking to see Damien. “I’m so sorry I left you; I made a mistake, but I will amend my ways.” Maggie said as she shed crocodile tears in Aella’s presence and tried touching her again. “Where is your husband, darling? I need to speak with my son.” Maggie asked as she wiped the tears from her cheeks. Damien came downstairs and went straight to the door, peeping to see the situation outside, and what was causing all the commotion was that he saw Aella and a middle-aged, beautiful woman standing, but it didn't seem like they were having a friendly chat. He quickly went back upstairs to wear much more presentable clothes. Aella couldn't believe her mother's audacity. How dare she show up after all this time? And she is even seeking an audience with Damien. The anger inside her was boiling, but she took a deep breath and tried to stay compose
Damien, who was already out of the car, went around to her side of the door and stood."Oh, I just thought it would be nice to take a break and grab a cup of coffee." Damien replied with a friendly smile."Plus, I wanted to get to know you a little better. We've been working and living together for a while now, but there's always more to learn about each other, right?" He said this as he reached for the car's door handle.Aella chuckled softly, appreciating Damien's curiosity. "You're right. It's good to take some time to connect outside of work. So, what do you want to know? Ask me anything."“Ah, I wouldn't do that just outside here.” Damien replied as he extended his hand out for her to hold on to.As she came out of the car, Damien locked the car, and they entered the café.As they both entered, the manager saw Damien with his new beautiful wife, and he hurriedly came down to welcome them both.“You are welcome, sir. It's an honor to have you come here with your wife. I will quick
The next morning, Aella woke up feeling refreshed and ready to start the day. She stretched her arms and yawned, feeling the warmth of the sunlight streaming through the window. She got out of bed and went inside the bathroom to brush her teeth, bathe, and get ready to go to the office.Meanwhile,Damien, who was still fast asleep with a contented smile on his face, woke up a bit after Aella was almost done bathing, and a lazy Damien who had a meeting was still in bed dreaming.(With a mischievous grin, Aella tiptoed over to Damien's bed and gently shook his shoulder. "Wake up, sleepyhead! (It's's brand new day.)Damien stirred, slowly opening his eyes and blinking away the sleep. "Mmm, what time is it?" he mumbled, his voice still laced with drowsiness, not realizing that she was in the room until after the drowsiness in his eyes had completely cleared up.Damein’s eyes widened as he realized she wasn’t in his room. He quickly jumped out of bed and went inside the bathroom. Looking at
“I won't ever leave you, Aella. The past may have been filled with uncertainty, but the past will always be in the past." Maggei tried to manipulate Aella into believing that she had changed.She knew that she had a chance to rebuild their relationship and take advantage of it again.Marie discreetly stepped back, giving them space to reconnect. She watched the tender moment unfold, a small smile playing on her lips. Despite all her previous intentions, she thought everything was fine between them and probably wouldn't approve of Aella's unexpected marriage to Damien.And so, Aella dragged her mom out in a way no one would understand or get a hint of the dispute they had.As they both arrived outside the company, Aella began yelling.“Why don't you just leave like you did before, huh? You keep disturbing and distracting me; I don't like it, Aella growled.As Aella's anger echoed through the empty street, Maggie took a step back, her eyes widening with surprise.She had never seen Ae
The next morning, Maggie woke up really quick, and early in the morning, she went straight to the kitchen, where Mike was doing the dishes.“Good morning, ma'am," Mike greeted Maggie as she came down still in her plays.“Morning! Uh, what can I help you with?” She asked nicely.“No! Ma'am, you can just go back to your room; I do all the work here, "Mike proclaimed as he put his head down to continue what he was doing before she came down.Maggie, trying to play the good guy, barged in and started cutting off the vegetables. She decided to cook Aella's favorite food to remind her of the good times they spent together before she left them.It was time for Aella to wake up from bed, but she was still being the lazy baby. She opened her eyes and took a glance at her room. She slept so well after the whole rollercoaster of stress she went through during the appearance of her mother.Aella has forgotten that Maggie followed them home as she closes her eyes and goes back to sleep.Meanwhile,
Maggie began faking tears as she came closer to Aella.“Aella, why are you doing this to me? I was just trying to revive some of the memories and time we shared, Maggie said amidst tears.“Revive huh! Revive, you say! Well, Ms. Maggie, especially for your own humble information. You left us first; it's been twelve long years without you or your fake love, your own son... Collins was crying out to you. He was crying his eyes out, but what did you do? You took those rich pricks hands and left us without looking back.”“Now! You suddenly appear, and you dare try asserting your right over me and this house, Aella growled angrily in sobs.Damien, who was on the stairs a minute ago, has arrived downstairs and is already at the diner.“Aella, I know you feel bad because she left and wasn't there for you, but everybody in this life makes mistakes. I have said this same thing to you back in the company. I know you are mad at her, Aella, but you have to be calm in this situation and solve thi
Damien's face flushed and turned red immediately as he sat back down on his seat.Meanwhile, Aella, on the other hand, packed up her bag and went out to the parking lot to wait for Damien.Maggie, seated in her room, was contemplating when Damein and Aella were going to come back from the company so she could implement her second stage of the plan.She decided to go to the kitchen again to see what Mike was making for dinner. As she got to the kitchen, Mike was already done with the kitchen work and had already made dinner for them.Mike noticed that she was standing out of the door, watching from afar. He asked if she needed anything but replied with a “no, nothing” and went back to the living room and sat down.As he was done, he brought the dishes out and arranged them on the table.He still asked her again, if she was hungry and wanted to eat, he could serve her food for her in the bedroom as Mrs Sullivan doesn't like seeing her face.Maggie replied with a "no, I will wait for the
