Chapter: Chapter 12Dusk set in and Damian rose from the seat in his study, after neatly placing his paperwork by a side on the table. He was composed now, and aside from the momentary clenching of his jaw, no one would suspect that he had been involved in a fight earlier.He walked to the window and stood for a long time, watching nothing in particular. He could see the city and the way the buildings were expertly arranged. Suddenly, Olivia’s face floated into his memory and he shut his eyes, praying for it to go while wishing that it lingered. His breath turned raspy and his heart rate increased. He could not tell where this strange feeling was coming from. He could not decipher if it was anxiety that he felt, or anger… Anger, that should be it, he thought.He was mad at himself for feeling this way, flushed, jittery, nervous, and anxious about the unknown. He had never felt fear in his life, why is he feeling like this now? Damian chuckled breathlessly, he had to kill these foreign feelings that he w

Chapter: Chapter ElevenLong after his mother left the company premises, Damian stared hard and long into nothingness. He felt numb, like an empty vessel lying motionless in space. Nothing, he could not explain the desolate feeling that enveloped him. He did not want to believe that he was this way because of Olivia’s sudden departure from his life. No, that can’t be. He could not feel this gloomy because a person as insignificant as his ex-wife took a bow out of his life. Or could he?Shame stung him and he slouched, feeling defeated. What has he done? He grabbed his phone after a few minutes ticked by and scrolled through, finding a piece of his wife. Just her contact details and the text messages that she had sent in the past, where she reminded him to eat and other ordinary things were left… they were not as ordinary as he had thought anymore, Damian stared at each letter like he was engraving them in his mind. Damian stroked the numbers on his phone when he was done shuffling between each message. T

Chapter: Chapter Ten “Do you have a problem with that, young man?” Ivan raised a brow and leaned forward when Darian continue staring speechlessly at him “I’ll take your silence to mean a ‘Yes’,” Darian snapped out of his state of shock and breathlessly replied “Why, Yes sir! I will be more than honored to work in your company, alongside Olivia.” He could not explain the surreal feeling of happiness that laced his whole form as he clasped his hands together on the table, hope glimmering in his eyes. Finally, someone saw through him and recognized his worth. He was flabbergasted that he did not have to go through any special processes before landing at the position. Darian knew damn well that the position that Ivan had mentioned was no joke. It was like placing him as the second in command after his niece, a feat that he has been unable to attain at his own family’s company. “Talking of Olivia,” Ivan piped, stroking his chin masterfully. “You know very well what she has to endure in the ruthless hand

Chapter: Chapter NineDamian watched Willow, his secretary, tentatively as she flipped papers upon papers in search of a letter that he had ordered her to draft earlier. His irritation grew in leaps and bounds as she stared at the floor, wondering if it had dropped to the floor by chance. It was a letter addressed to Arthurs's group and she knew that she would be done for if she did not present it to him. “I…I,” She stuttered and stared up at him through shifty eyes.“You what?” Howled Damian. His pulse raced as he thought of satisfying punishments to mete out on his secretary for being so incompetent. He had told her to draft a business proposal to Arthur group earlier that morning, and after describing what he intended to establish between both firms in great detail, the dud had the nerve to ‘misplace’ the letter. He clenched his jaw and watched her through darkened eyes.A shiver coursed through Willow as she watched her boss’s reaction. It was over for her. He either bites her wretched head off her bo

Chapter: Chapter Eight Darian Brown emerged minutes later with her package and stretched his hand to her. “But…” She muttered, “You did not even get a cent from…” “Consider it a little present from me,” He interjected, “For housing Olivia.”Housing Olivia? Rosie’s consciousness freaked. He would not have done all that if she was just a stranger. She bit back the slight ache that tugged her delusional heart and ran her eyes through his whole frame again. He was a Greek god. Hell, he ruled Greece and everything that concerned it. Rosie nodded as though dazed and gingerly took the plastic bag from him. She watched as he turned back in urgency to leave “Wait!” He did, turning to stare at her in curiosity. What else did she want? Perhaps, she needed him to shield her as she exited the mall. “Thank you,” She squealed, and before Darian could say any more word, she dashed off in a half sprint towards the entrance. Darian watched as she entered a black-tinted car and zoomed off with the screech of her tires

Chapter: Chapter Seven Rosie dumped the plastic bags full of disposable trash into the garbage truck, and stuck up her thumb, a grin forming on her face. The truck driver nodded at her with a smile from the rear mirror and slowly drove off, leaving the area as deserted as it was before it pulled by. She sighed as though exhausted and turned on her heels, slowly making her way to her house while mentally calculating the groceries that she would need for the next few weeks. She discovered to her chagrin, that she would need to drive to the city. And oh, how she hates going into public places! “Damn you, Rosie. How could stock up on groceries in minimal amounts when all you want to do is stay hidden in the suburbs for years?” It did not help matters that her ex-boyfriend, Lance, had traced her to the cottage, right from Queens. He was a part of the reason why she moved. Hell, he was the sole cause of the discord planted in her crew. Everyone wanted him. Rosie almost rolled her eyes as the thoughts spirale
