They got to the dining and their meals were dished already, they sat next to each other and both started eating.
Audrey ate slowly as she tried not to make any mistake that can make him hurt her again.
“Audrey.” Damien called and she turned to him.
“Yes?”
“Tell me about your ex-husband.” He said and she gulped, ex-husband? Well, she has no choice but to agree to it at this point, she doesn't remember being divorced.
“Am waiting.” He added and she snapped out of her thoughts.
“Oh, yeah. His name is Charles Williams and we have been married for two years.”
“No kids?” He asked as he ate. Audrey froze as she remembered her not being able to give birth was one of the basic problems she had with Charles.
“Oh, you are barren?” He asked and a tear rolled down her eyes.
“Hmm, I... I... We both agreed not to have a child yet.” She lied and she heard him groan.
“Is that why he hits you?”
“He doesn't.” She lied again.
“Yes he does, no man in his right senses should hit a lady.” He said and turned to her, she became confused trying to process his statement and how he treats her.
“Really?”
“Yes.”
“But... But you hurt me, twice.”
“Yes, I did but did I hit you? I choked you the first time, I just warned you that way and the second time, I didn't know the vase pieces will hit you.”
“But it's still the same thing.” She muttered as she continued eating, she sniffed and wipe her tears.
“You are not barren, your ex-husband is just so useless.” He said and Audrey smiled, that will be the first nice thing he will say to her.
“Thank you.” She mumbled in response and continued eating.
“That wasn't a compliment, I meant what I said by him being useless, he just doesn't know the right spot to hit.”
“Huh?” Audrey asked confused and he placed his hand on her bare lap, she felt goosebumps all over her body and she held onto the fork tightly.
He moved his hands upward and Audrey held his hand, he gave her a questioning look and she let go of his hand immediately.
She started to breathe sharply and Damien withdrew his hand, she sighed in relief and felt her heartbeat stop racing.
“Goodnight.” He suddenly said and walked away.
Audrey sighed again and lean back on the chair, what the hell was he trying to do?
She decided not to think about it and finish up her meal, after eating, she returned to her room to have a good night's rest.
*******
THE NEXT DAYAudrey walked down the stairs dressed in a simple but new outfit, the maids bring new clothes every morning and it's surprising.
She is being treated like a Queen but still going through hell.
The maids greeted her and led her to the dining, she got there and didn't meet Damien.
Out of curiosity, she turned to one of the maids to ask why he isn't present.
“Excuse me.”
“Yes ma’am?”
“Where is Damien?”
“Mr. Robbin left home early this morning.”
“Oh, okay, thank you.” She replied and started to eat, after her breakfast, she decided to take a tour of the house.
She walked around the house for an hour and she wondered how huge it was, she couldn't go further and she decided to return to her room. She got into her room and screamed in fear when she saw Damien leaning on the wall.
How the hell is he in her room? The maid said he wasn't home and she didn't hear his car drive in.
“How... How are you here? A maid told me you weren't around.” She said nervously and he didn't give her a response instead, he was going through his phone.
“Good morning.” He said without looking at her.
“Oh, sorry. Good morning.”
“Where have you been?”
“I took a tour around the house since I was bored.” She replied and he didn't respond. His phone suddenly rang and he picked it up, Audrey didn't know what to do so she just stood and watched him.
She suddenly thought of something and decided to ask him when he drop the call.
“Hmm, Damien.” She called immediately he ended the call and he looked at her, finally his beautiful brown eyes.
“Yeah?”
“Please can I have a phone?”
“Why?”
“I am not trying to contact anyone, I just need it because I do get bored and have nothing to do.” She replied and he walked towards her, she bowed her head and played with her fingers nervously.
“Look at me.” He ordered as he got close to her, she looked at him and he stretched a phone towards her.
“You can use mine.”
“But you... “
“I have another, I have a lot.” He cut her off and she smiled.
“Thank you.”
“What else do you need?”
“Nothing, I am okay.”
“Okay, we have somewhere we need to be by 9:00 pm.”
“Where?”
“Don't worry about that.”
“Okay.”
“I just home just to clear your curiosity and I am going out again but I will be back before 9:00 pm.”
“It's fine.” She replied and he nodded before walking out.
Audrey smiled happily as she stared at the phone, she waited for a few minutes to confirm if he finally left the house.
After confirming, she picked up the phone and click on the call app.
She took in a deep breath and thought about what she was about to do, can she really get out of here? What if she isn't able to?
Anyway, she was determined to make the call and take the risk, she needs to get out of this hell.
She sighed and dialed 911, she heard it ring and she sighed in relief when they picked up.
“Hello.” She called.
“911, what’s your emergency, Mrs. Robbin?” She heard his voice ask and her hand shook. What the hell?
“Da... Damien?” She asked in shock.
“Yes, Mrs. Robbin?”
“I... I... “
“Roy, turn the car around, my wife seems to be in trouble.” She heard him tell the chauffeur and the call ended.
‘Oh no, am doomed!’
Audrey paced around the room and cried, why did she have to do that? She just got herself into a huge mess.She should have just accepted the fact that she is stuck here for ninety days, why the hell did she make that phone call?The door to her room suddenly opened revealing Damien and she froze.“Yes, Mrs. Robbin? You called 911.” Damien said and walked towards her slowly.“I... I... ““Are you okay? Why are you crying?” “Am sorry.” She apologized in tears and he sighed.“You called 911, why did you call the number if you weren't in an emergency?”“I... I thought it was the cops.” She replied he moved closer to her, but she couldn't move because she was too scared to.“Why did you call the cops?” “Nothing, am sorry. Please don't hurt me.” She cried.“I won't if you give me a good reason why you called 911.”“I... I wanted to get help.”“From what?” “You kidnapped me.” She replied and Damien paused.“Well, the contract doesn't say so. We are legally married so why call the cops?”
“What?” Audrey asked confused and he rolled his eyes.“Just watch.” He said and she sighed before turning to the stage, Audrey watched with interest and wondered what was going to happen. If this man is all about having sex with her then why go through all these processes?“Get up.” He ordered and the girl did immediately, he untied her hands and she moaned, he dragged her to a pole and tied her hands to it, she winced in pain and Audrey turned to look at everyone in the room, they seemed to be enjoying the show.“Kneel.” He ordered her and she knelt immediately, he took off his jeans and Audrey looked away.“Watch it,” Damien whispered and she slowly turned back to the stage, her lips were slightly open in shock as she watched the guy force his cock into her mouth, Audrey turned away again but Damien suddenly squeezed her hand and she winced in pain. Clyde glanced at them and he noticed Damien was forcing Audrey to watch it. “I don't feel comfortable watching it.” Audrey whimpered
Damien met Audrey in the car waiting for him, she looked away from him immediately as he entered the car. “Head to Amigos.” Damien ordered the chauffeur.“Yes sir.” He replied and Audrey looked at Damien.“Where is Amigos? And why are we going there?” Audrey asked and Damien ignored her.“Come on, Damien, I want to go home.” “You will.” “So why are we going to Amigos? What is that place?”“I don't have a reason to answer you, you will see it for yourself when we get there.” He replied and she sighed, she felt unsatisfied with the reply she got but she decided to keep quiet about it. The car finally stopped in front of a restaurant and she saw the name.“Oh, Amigos is a restaurant.” She said and Damien ignored her as he got down, she also got down and walked to him.“We haven't had dinner yet, that is why we are here. Happy now?” He asked and she rolled her eyes.“Did you just roll your eyes at me?” He asked angrily.“Yes, and am sorry. I didn't know why I did that.” She apologize
“What?” Audrey yelled as he stood up.“What?” He asked back and she stood in front of him as he tried to walk away.“Are you trying to say you aren't going to eat that food?” She asked staring into his eyes.“Yes, I already told you, I lost my appetite.” He replied and tried to walk away again but she stopped him, Damien was surprised by her sudden confidence but decided not to show it.“Damien, I woke up early and I spent hours making those meals and you just said you lost your appetite?” She asked and tears were rushing to her eyes.“Are you going to cry because I don't want to eat?”“No, it is because I spent hours preparing it and you won't even have a taste of it, it's not fair.” “You can cry all you want, but still not interested.” He said and walked away, Audrey sighed and tears rolled out of her eyes, what a waste of effort. She turned to the meal and sighed, she looked around and she saw some maids peeping.“You guys can have it if you want.” She said and walked away from t
“Damien!” She yelled and rushed after him, she met him at the stairs and he ignored her, she blocked his path when they got to the hallway and he sighed.“What do you want Audrey?” He asked and sighed.“I want to know what you want to... “ She trailed off as she felt a sharp pain in her stomach, she winced in pain and fell to the floor.“Are you okay?” Damien asked calmly as he stared at her, he didn't look scared or worried as she winced in pain.“My stomach hurts.” She replied and he rolled his eyes.“It's noon already and you skipped breakfast, what do you expect?” He asked and stretched his hand towards her.“Come on.” Audrey slowly took his hand and he pulled her up, he held her hand and they both walked down the stairs.They got to the dining and the maids already prepared lunch, they sat next to each other and Audrey felt annoyed.He wouldn't eat her food but he would eat the maid’s food. Such a jerk.“You skipped breakfast because I rejected your meal,” Damien said as she slo
“Why are you playing dumb?” “Charles, what are you talking about? What do you mean by divorce papers?”“We are divorced, did you hit your head or something? Your parents have been threatening me for days saying I hurt you or something, I don't give a fuck if you are hurt. All I need you to do is sign the divorce papers, tell me your address and I will send them to you.” He yelled and Audrey’s hand shook, a tear rolled down her eyes and she started to cry.“You kicked me out right?” “Of course, I had no choice but to do that when you weren't willing to leave.”“Are... Aren't you worried about me? I have been missing for days right? Don't you care?” She asked in tears and she heard him scoff.“Who cares? Send me the address via a text message.” He replied and ended the call, Audrey suddenly screamed in tears and fell to the floor, she sobbed like a baby and she wasn't trying to stop herself, she decided to let it all out hoping to feel better.She cried for some minutes and decided to
“What?” “I am not signing anything till I get back to New York after spending 90 days here.” She replied and he nodded.She decided to change the topic to forget about her husband a little bit.“How long have you been shipping drugs?” She asked as she gulped down a glass of water.“Should you be asking that?” “Of course, aren't we married?” She asked and he shrugged. “For years now.” “How many?”“Can't remember.” His phone suddenly rang and he rolled his eyes when he saw Clyde was the caller, he picked it up and stood up from the bed.“What?” He asked and Audrey turned to him, she noticed the slow change in his facial expression till he ended the call. He looked annoyed and Audrey wondered who he was on the phone with.“Damien, what’s wrong?” She asked and he turned to her.“Nothing, goodnight.” He replied and rushed out of her room. Audrey shrugged and decided to finish up her meal, probably it was about his business, after finishing her meal, she lay on her bed and drifted to
MORNINGAudrey sat in the dining and ate breakfast, she kept wondering if Damien was okay and if he would show up for breakfast. She had her breakfast alone and decided to check up on him.She left the dining and bumped into a maid carrying a bag as she was about to climb the stairs.“Am sorry ma’am, I was just looking for you.”“Is everything okay?”“Yes ma’am, Mr. Robbins asked me to give you this, he said you should get dressed and go to the chauffeur when you are done.” “Really? Is everything okay?” She asked as she collected the bag from the maid.“I guess so ma’am, I am just carrying out an order.”“Oh, okay then. But is it now?” “Yes ma’am.”“But I thought Damien is in his room.”“No ma’am, he left very early this morning.” “Oh, okay.” She replied and the maid bowed before walking away. Audrey stared at the bag as she walked upstairs and wondered the kind of dress was in it, she got to her room and opened the bag.She brought out the dress and frowned seeing it was a short
MANY MONTHS LATER Audrey glanced at the time repeatedly as she held Xavier in her arms, she could hear her heart thumping as she wondered where Damien might be.It was midnight already and he isn't home yet, she exhaled and she heard Xavier groan and stretch his legs showing signs he needed to be put down, she let go of him gently and placed him on the floor, he giggled and started to crawl around the room.She is not surprised he isn't asleep yet, he never falls asleep early, she glanced at his sister sleeping peacefully on the couch and exhaled.Ten months of being a mother hasn't been easy, sometimes she will feel scared, and sad to wake up the next day to deal with them and sometimes she would just feel happy and excited to wake up and take care of her children. Damien has also been a loving father, he treats Naomi like the princess that she is and treats Xavier like a prince. He loves them equally but he seems more closer to Naomi.They got married weeks later have Audrey was di
“Please step out Mr. Damien.” A nurse said but he remained on a spot, he felt his head spin and he slowly fell to the floor.“Mr. Robbin.” He heard his name being called as he slowly closed his eyes.*********HOURS LATER Damien slowly opened his eyes and looked around, his eyes landed on Chloe, Derek and Clyde and they smiled at him.He sat up immediately as he recalled what happened in the room with Audrey.“How is Audrey?” He asked as he tried to stand up from the bed but Clyde held him down.“Will you take a chill pill man? She is fine, she and her kids are asleep in the ward next to this one.” Clyde replied and Damien sighed in relief, he exhaled and ran his hands through his hair.“I am so excited, I am going to be an aunt.” Chloe giggled and Damien rolled his eyes at her.“Congrats man.” Derek said and he nodded.“Your children are so cute, you should see them, they look exactly like you, especially your daughter, she looks like your mum and Audrey.” Chloe said and Damien felt
“Mr Robbin.” Mr. Griffin called again.“Can... Can I see her?” He asked.“Yes, sure.” He replied and Derek patted Damien’s shoulder before walking away with the doctor. He got into the room Audrey was in and he saw her lying peacefully on the bed but she seemed deep asleep, the nurses in the room bowed at Damien as he walked to Audrey.“Can you wake her up?” He asked staring at her body and Dr. Griffin nodded in response. A nurse turned off the beeping machine and Damien waited patiently for her to wake up.After a few seconds, she slowly opened her eyes and Damien hurriedly held her hand and smiled at her as she looked around.“Hey.” Damien called and placed his free hand on her hair.“Is it over? Where are my babies?” She asked weakly.“Audrey, there is a slight problem.”“What? Are my babies okay?” She asked in fear and tears clouded her eyes.“Yes, they are fine. But I really need you to stop thinking about them for a second and listen to me okay?” Damien ordered her and she nod
MANY MONTHS LATERAudrey paced around in the living room as she placed her hands ok her waist, it is past midnight and Damien wasn't back from work yet. She got more worried as every minute passed without him showing up, these past few weeks he has been distant from her. He leaves early for work before she wakes up and comes back later in the night after she has fallen asleep but this night, she was determined to see him.The past few months have been great and also awkward for her, they moved back to Salado after spending a month in Los Angeles, Chloe, Clyde and Derek have always been there for her and Chloe kept doing a lot of shopping, she said she wanted the twins to have a perfect life by providing them with everything. Damien’s father has also been supportive even though he made it obvious that all he cared about were the kids.Damien has also been a great support, just that he freaks out most times he remembers he is going to be a father. He follows her to the hospital most t
Audrey sighed repeatedly as she stared at her cuffed hand, she ran her hands through her hair and slowly comfortably sat on the bed, she exhaled and closed her eyes, it's been almost an hour since he cuffed her to the bed.The door to the room opened and Damien walked, she looked at him tiredly and he walked to her, he loosen the cuffs and she exhaled. He sat next to her and tears clouded her eyes.“You missed your flight.” He said and she sniffed.“Damien, why are you doing this to me?” She asked with tears in her eyes turning to him. “I am not doing anything to you.”“You are hurting me, with... ““I am not hurting you, you are hurting yourself.” “You brought Valeria into the house and... ““I didn't do that.” He chuckled and held her hand.“You said you would pick an MILF over me because I am ugly and fat and the reason why I am this way is because I am carrying your children.” She cried and he laughed.“I didn't call you fat and ugly baby, I just said that because you were exag
Audrey whimpered as she ate her ice cream and watch television at the same time, she sniffed as the tears streams down her eyes. It was almost midnight and she has been crying all day because of Damien’s words and he wasn't even home yet. How can he say such mean words to her? He doesn't love her, they are just words. She couldn't get his last words before leaving this morning out of her head and it keeps hurting her a lot.She sniffed again as she put a scoop of ice cream in her mouth, the door to the living room suddenly opened and she turned to see Damien walking in, she hurriedly took her eyes from him and turned back to the television, she kept sniffing as she watched and hoped he walks away. Damien glanced at the time on his phone and he rolled his eyes, he walked fully into the living room and picked up the remote to the television, he switched it off and Audrey turned to him.“I was watching that.” She said and he ignored her, he took the bowl of ice cream from her and drop
“You... You love me?” Audrey stuttred and he held a handful of his hair before breathing out heavily.“Yes Audrey, I love you. I loved you right from when I started stalking you, I didn't know it was live then, I didn't even know it was love until we started to stay apart, if we really completed the contract, I wasn't willing to let you go after ninety days, I am miserable without you.” He confessed and Audrey slowly smiled, she wrapped her hands around him and hugged him tightly.“Oh, my God.” She whispered and smiled.“You really don't know how much hearing you say it means to me, you are not the kind of person to say something like this.”“Well, you forced me.” He said and Audrey laughed as she pulled away from the hug.“I love you too Damien.” She giggled and he pecked her lips. “Wow, this is amazing, I... “ Audrey trailed off as Damien suddenly took off his shirt, she looked at him surprised and couldn't take her eyes off his abs and the scars on his chest. “Hey, why did you ta
“Huh?” Damien asked.“Do you love me?” She asked again and Damien sighed.“Why do you keep asking that? You know I care about you.”“I know Damien, I just want you to tell me you love me.” She said and Damien breathed out.“You really had to ruin the moment.” He scoffed and sat up.“Damien, why can't you tell me you love me?” “Because I don't know if I do and you asking me every time isn't helping.” He replied and Audrey sighed.“I’m sorry, I’m sorry I am such a problem to you.” She said and he groaned.“No, that isn't what I meant, I... ““Can you please call Chloe in?” She asked and Damien breathed out before standing up.******TWO DAYS LATER Audrey sighed as she ate by herself in the dining, she was bored and had no one to talk to. It's been two days since she got discharged from the hospital and it has been two days since she talked to Damien. She was mad at him and he isn't making any attempts to apologize to her or get on her good side. He also stopped Chloe from coming to s
Damien paced around in the hallway as he ran his hands through his hair, everyone else was seated waiting for the doctor to come out and tell them what was wrong and also assure them that Audrey would be fine.“Damien, I think you should take a seat.” Derek suggested and he ignored him.“He is right, Damien please sit.” Chloe added and he still ignored them.After a while, the doctor walked out and Damien rushed to him.“How is she? Is she okay? And the babies?”“Hmm, she is fine for now but I am not sure her babies will be okay.” He replied.“What? Why? What happened to her?” Chloe asked moving closer to them. “She was poisoned.” “Poisoned?” Derek repeated mumbling and turned to his mother who tried to avoid his look, Mr. Robbin walked closer to them and looked at the doctor.“Are the babies going to be okay? You have to save the babies.” Mr. Robbin said.“You don't care about Audrey, do you? All you care about are the babies, you don't even care to know how she got poisoned.” Dami
