Audrey hurriedly pulled away from the kiss and stood up, she moved away from him and Derek wondered if he did something wrong.“Hey, babe.” He called and stood up.“Stay away from me.” She snapped as he was about to move closer to her, guilt was eating her up and she felt like she was losing her mind. She can't be like this with Derek, not even after what Damien did for her and her family.Even though he abandoned her already, at least he gave her a good life, staying away from Derek is all he ever wanted from her and that is what she would do.“Audrey, what... ““You need to leave Derek.” She cut him off and turned to him maintaining a stern look, he stared at her for a few seconds before chuckling.“You are kicking me out? You don't even want me to leave.” He said and moved closer to her but she moved away.“Can you please just go? I don't want to see you anymore.” She said trying her best to not fall for his charms again.“Why? Is it because of Damien?” He scoffed and Audrey sighed
Audrey stared at him and she sighed, she wasn't sure if she should be happy or sad about his confession, all she wants him to do is just give her a reason and apologize sincerely. Now that he has given her a good reason, all she needs is his sincere apology.“Apologize Damien, apologize for lying to me and leaving me.”“I am sorry, I know I fucked up and I hurt you. I am so sorry.” He apologized and she nodded, she slowly smiled at him and hugged him again.“I thought you were never coming back.” She sighed in his arms and he chuckled.“Sorry.” He muttered and kissed her hair. “Are we leaving for Salado now?” She asked as she pulled away from the hug and Damien nodded in response.“Oh, okay, I will call my parents and come up with something.”“You don't need to, the guards already told them you need to leave urgently and they got your bags already, you can call them later if you wish.” “But my mum called me minutes ago, I guess she wanted to be sure if I was truly leaving.”“Yeah, m
Damien stood up and walked away leaving her in shock, Audrey trembled in fear and Clyde sighed, she realized her mother already ended the call and she dropped the phone.Tears streamed down her eyes and she whimpered, someone died because of her, an innocent person died because of her.“He warned you though.” Clyde shrugged as he continued with his meal.Audrey didn't say a word, all she did was cry, she started to cry out loud and Clyde rolled his eyes.“Will you stop that?” Clyde snapped at her and she flinched, she looked at him surprised and he huffed.“Look, I like you and all but you are starting to mess up. You have just one thing to do, stay away from Derek but anytime he comes back to you, you end yo kissing him. Do you think Damien doesn't know? The night of the theft too?” Clyde asked and her eyes widen in shock. “Yes, he knows. Stop being this way, Damiem likes you so much, don't ruin it because you can't control yourself, you are so lucky you pulled away from him and cha
“It's nothing you have to worry about, never mind.” He replied and stroked her hair, Audrey groaned and frowned.“I deserve to know, at least tell me what your relationship is with him.”“I don't want to talk about it.” He said and kissed her, Audrey kissed him back and he chuckled as he pulled away.“Let’s go out.” He muttered and stood up, he pulled her up and she giggled.“Where?” She asked and he shook his head.“I am not telling you, go get dressed.” Audrey smiled and walked out of his room, she walked into hers and headed to her closet.She thought about what to wear and she finally settled for a jean and a crop top with white sneakers, she got dressed in them and stared at her hair in the mirror.‘Should she go to Damien?’ She thought and bit her lip, her door opened and Damien walked in dressed in casual wear, not a tuxedo this time.“Hey.” He called and walked to her, he ruffled her hair and she giggled.“Sit.” He ordered and she sat in front of the mirror, Damien picked up
“What? I don't want to die!” She yelled as she drove.“Then keep driving and try to keep your head down.” “Damien, I’m scared.”“You shouldn't be, this is normal.” He replied Damien corked the gun, he pressed a button in the car and the rooftop opened.“Why are you opening the roof? They are going to kill us faster.” Audrey yelled as Damien got in the back seat.“Yes but just keep your head down a bit.” Damien replied and shot at the van, he shot their tyres and the van hit a streetlight. “Okay, the van is down, it's just... “ Damien trailed off and groaned in pain as a bullet hit his arm, Audrey screamed as he lay on the seat and they shot at them.She drove faster and Damien sat up.“Are you okay?” “Yes, I’m okay.” Damien replied and turned to the two cars left, he shot at them and they also shot back, luckily they missed this time. He shot the headlights of one of the cars and it suddenly flipped, Audrey screamed in fear as she watched the car flip through the mirror.“It's jus
“That’s bad Damien.” “That is how to survive Audrey.”“But you killed your uncle, your family must have... ““No one knows, just Clyde and you now.” He scoffed and glanced at his injured arm.“So killing that boy was right?” She asked and he nodded in response.“He shot at us with the intention of killing us, he deserves it.” “Okay.” She sighed and relaxed in the chair, Clyde walked back into the room and smiled at them.“Hey, are you okay?” He asked Audrey and she nodded in response.“I thought I would die.” “Oh, what happen to you guys was completely normal, it happens to us all the time.” Clyde shrugged and Audrey rolled her eyes.“I told her, she is overreacting.” Damien scoffed and Audrey gasped dramatically as she turned to him.“Oh my God, I am overreacting? How dare you say I am overreacting?” She yelled at Damien and he flinched.“Audrey.” Clyde called and she turned to him with a glare.“My bad, sorry, carry on.” He said and she turned back to Damien.“We got shot at in a
Chapter 68“Audrey.”“This is why you told me to step out that day at the hospital right? You live on pills?” She asked and Damien breathed out.“I don't want to talk about this, can we just go back to having lunch?”“You don't always want to talk about anything, when will you finally want to talk about it?”“It's nothing, can we just go back to... ““Damien.”“Stop it, Audrey!” He yelled at her and she flinched.“Just stop it, you are driving me crazy.” He sighed and ran his hands through his hair, he looked at his pills on the floor and bent to pick them, Audrey felt bad she threw them at him but she was just so furious and disappointed he didn't tell her about it.Most of the pills are for insomnia and traumatic experiences, she wonders what he went through. She slowly walked to him and bent to help him, she was about to pick it but he held her hand.“It's fine, just leave.” “Damien, I’m sorry.”“Please.” He added and she stood up, she walked out of the room and Damien groaned an
“I don't want to be part of something evil.” Audrey said and scoffed.“Trust me, you are staying with a devil so you are already part of it.” Clyde said and Chloe chuckled.“Damien, why are you even involving me in this? I thought you don't want me to get into your dirty stuff?” “Well, it's time you start acting like a gangster’s wife.” Damien replied and she sighed.“So, what type of painting are we talking about here?” Damien asked.“It's Salvator Mundi by Leonardo da Vinci.” Chloe replied and Clyde gasped.“Shut up, that is the most expensive painting in the world.” He exclaimed and Chloe nodded.“It should be worth more than a billion dollars right?”“Actually it's not.” Audrey replied and they turned to her.“How do you know it's not with more than that?” Chloe asked.“Ugh, during the World War II, Willem de Kooning created this oil on canvas painting stuff and that was around 1955, so sixty years later, the world’s best painting worth three hundred million dollars.” Audrey expl
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
