AT NIGHTAudrey waited in the living room for Damien after she had dinner, she was still feeling bad and his calm reaction towards what she told him made it worse.It was almost midnight and she fought the urge to use the telephone, she decided to wait till past midnight before calling him.After waiting for like forever and she was starting to feel sleepy, the door opened and Damien walked in, Audrey hurriedly stood up and rushed to him and he gave her a questioning look.He glanced at the time then back at her and wondered why she was still awake.“Why are you still up?” He asked and her eyes started to glisten as tears welled up in her eyes, the guilt was really eating her up and she felt really bad.“Oh God, why are you crying again?” Damien groaned and she shook her head, the tears fell and she wipe them off.“I’m sorry, I really am.” She apologized and hugged Damien before he could respond, she wrapped her arms around his waist and placed her head on his chest, he flinched a lit
“Ugh, don't listen to Damien, he is just trying to freak you out. You really can do that.”“Why can't one of you guys do it?”“We are one of the VIP guests there.” Clyde replied.“Oh, and it is you guys that are trying to steal from them.”“You didn't have to put it that way.” Clyde chuckled and she laughed.“You aren't doing it, you will be at the exhibit but as a guest, I will find someone to do it.” Damien said and walked away, Clyde gave Audrey a questioning look and she sighed.“You guys have issues?”“Is there anytime we are not?” She asked back and Clyde chuckled.“I just think you guys need to work on understanding each other.”“Yeah.” Audrey mumbled and she suddenly remembered something, she decided to ask Clyde about it hoping to get a response.“Hey Clyde, can I ask you something?” “Yeah, sure.” He replied as he went through his phone.“What is going on between Derek and Damien? Why don't they get along?” “I really don't know, a lot of shit happened between them so they b
Audrey felt her heart race as she watched him walk away, Damien scoffed and turned to her.“I am not letting you out of my sight.” He said and pulled Audrey to the crowd.“Shall we begin?” A man announced and the diamond in the middle of the room was moved by the guards to the stage where the man stood.Everyone took their seat and Audrey tried looking around for Derek but she couldn't find him.Chloe kept smiling at the CEO of the company and he was already in deep for her charms.The exhibit started and some people bought a lot of artwork, Damien remained calm and Audrey wondered why no one was doing anything yet.“Chloe, you are up.” Clyde said and she suddenly spilled a drink on the CEO, he gasped and it got a little attention from the crowd.“Oh my God, I am so sorry.” She yelled and it caught everyone’s attention, Audrey’s eyes were fixed on the diamond and she noticed something odd about it. “Unit one... ““Hold on.” Audrey caught Damien off without taking her eyes off the dia
Audrey tried her best to stay calm and pull herself together, she tried not to think about the kiss but she couldn't.Guilt was starting to eat her up again and she blinked her eyes rapidly trying to fight back the tears.“Just take in a deep breath.” She muttered and took in a deep breath.“Audrey.” She suddenly heard her name and she turned to see Damien walking towards her. Guilt was starting to eat her up really badly but she fought every urge to cry.He already forgave her once, he might not again.“Hey, did you guys get the diamond?” She asked moving closer to him.“Did Derek hurt you? What did he do to you?” He asked ignoring her question and she shook her head.“He didn't do anything to me, I’m okay.” “Are you sure?”“Yes, did you guys get the diamond?” She asked and Damien nodded in response.“Yeah, we have to get out of here.” He said and held her hand, he pulled her back to the room and out of the building.“What about others?” Audrey asked as they both entered the car and
THE NEXT DAYAudrey heard familiar voices as she walked down the stairs, she got downstairs and was surprised to see Clyde and Damien having a conversation, they both turned to her and Clyde smiled at her.“Hey, Audrey.” He called and she looked at him and Damien surprised, are they really cool after what happened last night?It's not even up to a day they fought and they are so cool with each other.“Hi Clyde, you guys are back together.” She said and laughed shortly before taking a seat beside Damien, he gave her a questioning look and she looked at him confused.“Really?” He asked.“What?” She asked back.“Do I have to start doing it for you all the time?” He asked and hit her forehead lightly, Audrey placed her hand on it and pouted.“What?” She asked still confused and he ruffled her hair, he scattered it and made it fall on her face and she laughed.“Oh.” She giggled when she realized he was talking about her hair, he rolled his eyes and held her hair, he ran his hands through i
Audrey waited patiently for Chloe to arrive and she did in a few minutes, she walked into Audrey’s room and she smiled on seeing her.“Hey, so what are we doing?” She asked excitedly and Audrey smiled.“Do you know Damien’s club?” Audrey asked walking to a closet to pick an outfit.“Yes, sure.” “Well, his colleague is having a party and he wouldn't be back till dawn, I was hoping we could go there together since he doesn't want me to be there.”“Sounds dangerous but I love disobeying Damien so let’s do it.”“Wait, it's dangerous?” Audrey asked and she nodded.“Yeah, Damien’s club are filled with a lot of bad guys and it's always ended up breaking up in a fight.” “Wow.”“But let’s go, we would just be careful and we won't let Damien see us.” “Is that possible?”“Of course, we won't go to the VIP section.” “Okay then.” Audrey replied and got dressed in one of the dresses she bought when she went shopping with Chloe last time. Chloe was already dressed and after a few minutes, they
“Hey, come on. You don't seem comfortable.” Damien said seeing the irritated look on Audrey’s face and he held her hand, he pulled her up and walked out of the room with her.A drunk lady suddenly bumped into Damien and she gave him an apologetic look when she saw he was the one.“Oh my God, I am sorry.” She apologized and he ignored her as he pulled Audrey along with himAudrey couldn't think straight at the moment, she fought back her tears and blinked rapidly so they won't roll down her cheeks as Damien pulled her with him. They got to a door and Damien opened it, they both walked in and Audrey was glad the place was silent.There were a few drinks on the table and it had dim lights, there was a couch there and Damien sighed.“You can sit here.” He muttered and ran his hands through his hair, Audrey gave him a questioning look as she noticed he was restless.“Damien, are you okay?” Audrey asked and he nodded, he dipped his hands into his pocket like he was searching for something,
“Really?” Audrey asked with a smile and he nodded.“Okay then.” She replied and he creased her hair.“You can use my bathroom room if you want, I will get the maids to bring you some food so you can eat before taking a nap.”“What about you? You still need to... ““I am okay.” He cut her off and she nodded, she smiled at him before walking into the restroom, Damien sighed and ran his hands through his hair.‘How the hell did he let his guard down? And how the hell did he lose it? He never does, so what happened?’ He thought and exhaled, he walked to his bed and sat on it, he picked up the telephone next to him to call the maids.MINUTES LATER“Damien.” Audrey called snapping him out of his thoughts and he turned to her, he stared at her gorgeous legs before looking up at her, she was dressed in his shirt and he couldn't help but admire her, she smiled at him and he stood up.“Hey.” He muttered and opened his arms wide, she walked to him like and baby and he pulled her into a hug, her
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
