Damien's povI woke up late in the morning with a strong urge to see Zeta before she headed off to work. I didn't like the way I walked out after the amazing day we had, we should have spent the night together.The sun was just starting to peek through the curtains as I made my way to her room. I approached her door then knocked slightly while turning the knob I noticed that it was locked, which struck me as strange. Usually, her door was open, inviting me in with open arms.I knocked on the door louder, my heart pounding in fear, why would she lock the door?After a few moments, I heard the click of the lock being undone. Zeta opened the door, and a wide smile spread across my face. We embraced tightly, savoring the warmth of each other's presence.But as I held her, my eyes wandered to her injured wrist. It was wrapped in a bandage, and concern filled my voice as I asked, "Zeta, what happened to your wrist?"She hesitated for a moment, a flicker of unease passing through her eyes.
Chapter 27 I sat on the edge of my bed, lost in my thoughts, contemplating the choices I had made. Should I have told Damien about the bracelet? Maybe I should have lied, claimed it wasn't with Belinda. But that small cut on my finger had given me away, revealing my secret. It was too late to take back my words now, and regret consumed me as I replayed the scene in my mind.I knew how Belinda could be, she was capable of anything if Damien told her about the bracelet I would be done for.I dragged myself out of my musings with a sigh I pushed myself off the bed and made my way to the bathroom. I was getting late.A refreshing bath was just what I needed to clear my mind and prepare for the day ahead.After getting dressed I hailed a cab shortly I arrived at work, a gray building that matched the dreary atmosphere that clouded my thoughts. Being surrounded by numbers and calculations, which usually provided a welcome distraction from my personal troubles. Today, however, even the mon
I tossed and turned in bed, unable to find any semblance of sleep. The pictures of Damien and Belinda played on a loop in my mind, haunting me relentlessly. Frustrated, I decided to break free from the confines of my thoughts and headed towards the bathroom.The cold water from the faucet cascaded over my hands as I splashed my face, hoping the sensation would wash away the unease that clung to me. But as the droplets slid down my cheeks, the ache in my heart remained. Damien's face lingered, his absence cutting through me like a knife. The love I held for him was a bittersweet burden, consuming my every thought.Just then, the sound of my baby's cries echoed through the house, jolting me back to reality. I rushed his room, determined to tend to our little one.Jen was already present I could always count on her, if I ever did leave I'll be certainly child is in great hands. She looked tired, worn out from the long hours of working, she didn't even notice I was in the room. "I'll tak
Zeta's povI jolted awake in bed, my heart pounding as an unexpected knock echoed through the stillness of the room. I forced myself to sleep after the incident and now the sudden interruption only heightened my anxiety. I cautiously approached the front door, my mind racing with various possibilities. Another knock resonated, louder this time, and I recognized the distinct rhythm. Relief washed over me as I realized it was Jen on the other side."Ma'am are you awake?" Jen called out.Unlocking the door, I swung it open, revealing her concerned face. Her eyes widened as she took in my disheveled appearance, evidence of a sleepless night. "Jen I..." I couldn't even speak I was speechless about what I went through the accident why were all these things happening."It's okay, Zeta," Jen whispered, her voice soothing. "I'm here for you. What's been keeping you up?"I pulled back slightly, tears welling up in my eyes. "Belinda and Damien went on a date I saw them kissing I felt so bad I c
Damien's pov I felt the exact moment the blissful peace was eliminated. Zeta's grip tightened on my hand as she looked at Belinda with venom. She had pretty eyes and I loved it but at the same time someone else lurked doubt. Why did she feel that way I had already told her Belinda was nothing to me. "Damien where did you run off to" she yelled. I felt my heart beating fast as Belinda rushed over to me with a worried look on her face. She grabbed my arm and pushed Zeta away urgently. Zeta's eyes seemed to slowly lose their brightness, like a flame flickering out. "Zeta..." I called trying to touch her through the barrier but she stepped back. "Zeta look..." I was about to dismiss it as a coincidence when my phone rang loudly, interrupting my thoughts. I quickly reached for my phone, feeling frustrated by the sudden interruption. I checked the caller ID and saw it was one of my workers from the mine. Dread filled me as I anticipated bad news. I answered the call and asked in a
Zeta's pov I walked to the car, feeling a whirlwind of conflicting emotions swirling inside me. The truth felt undeniable. Belinda and Damien had gone to the mall together, and all the signs were clear. Why would Damien lie to me? The pain of betrayal began to gnaw at my heart as I settled into the driver's seat, feeling lost and hurt. As the driver drove, the weight of the situation grew heavier with each passing mile. The shopping bags sitting beside me on the passenger seat served as constant reminders of my solitude during their supposed outing. The thought of them together, enjoying each other's company, intensified the bitterness within me. I longed to escape from these suffocating thoughts that threatened to consume me. When I finally reached home, exhaustion seeped into my bones. It was late, and the darkness outside mirrored the turmoil within me. As I entered my house, I couldn't help but notice Belinda's minions, who seemed to be lurking around. Their curious gazes fixate
Zeta's povSliding my legs into my slippers I stepped out of the room feeling a but weak, I was unable to get much rest the previous night thanks to Alex nothing a cup of coffee couldn't fix.Immediately I stepped into the kitchen their loud laughter spread through the room."Oh look who finally decided to join us" their pervert queen announced staring at me her eyes dancing with mockery.I'll just get a coffee as I head to work I decided turing around."Oh no don't leave I'm sure you'll love the stories Belinda has to share" one of her minions stepped up and pulled me back."Girls I've told you its uncultured to speak about what a man and lady does behind closed doors" Belinda asserted I almost gagged at her advice she of all people had the guts to say "uncultured" the hypocrisy for me."Damien had an amazing time last night" my eyes widened as I realized what they were hitting at. Damien and Belinda..."Yes we had the most magical night" she tauted.I could literally feel my heart s
Zeta's pov"What do you say I buy you dinner?" he whispered kissing my temples."I should really be getting home, this is too much" I said inhaling the flowers."Come on, a minute ago you were just asking to stay back""That's because I have work to do tons of work to do""You live in that big mansion what type of work do you need to do that cannot be done" he urged."Well that big mansion is not mine" I fixed my eyes on the flowers. I'm sure he could see the sadness lurking if I looked at him."You still haven't told me about this big ordeal" I knew what he was asking for but I wasn't going to give it to him."I have a lot of work to do and it's already late" refusing once more I stepped back feeling dizzy from his amazing scent."Okay then I'll help, we did study together" I forgot how persuasive he could be. He wouldn't give up unless I agreed to his request well I wasn't going to give up easily."All right then you can help me" his eyes widened realizing his trick didn't work."Ok
