DAMIEN

This was the last place I would have thought to see Isabella and I wondered what the fuck she was doing here and dressed like that.

I had only meant to follow her and discover where she was staying but when the man had began making passes at her, I had been forced to intervene.

She was as beautiful as I had always envisioned she would be, with such stunning and always startled eyes which led me to wonder what she was doing here.

I did not think she recognized me and although I had not been expecting her to, I was a little bit disappointed that she was staring at me like I was some stranger.

She had to see some level of recognition, doesn’t she? I thought to myself as we sat by the bar and she took glass after glass of scotch.

I did not make any move to stop her from drinking; it was quite obvious that there was something wrong with her and she was drinking to forget.

Now wasn’t the time to remind her of who I was. I was going to have to do that later when she was sober.

“Thank you” She finally slurred, moments later. “I don’t know what I would have done if you had not helped me

I nodded at her, my eyes remaining on her while she downed another glass.

“You seemed to be handling yourself quite okay if you ask me” I told her while she laughed at this

“What is the matter with you?” I finally asked

“With me?” She echoed in confusion. “There is nothing wrong with…”

“You have been drinking for a long while and although I do not plan to stop you, I want to understand what is making you drink this much” I explained, interrupting her.

She laughed, like I had said something she found very amusing before she sobered up, her eyes blurring as she gazed in my direction.

“I was dumped…no… I was cheated on by my fiance with my best friend. Now how sick is that?” She asked although I did not think she was expecting any form of response. “You would think that these sort of things happen in movies and in books but never in real life because you expect them to be loyal but what do I get?”

She reached into her dress pocket, flipping out a box and then opening it up so I could see the ring.

“I had all the plans to propose to him today…grand plans that I had thought he would be happy about” She continued, smiling to herself and then replacing the box from where she had gotten it.

“Then you caught him cheating” I declared, finally understanding where she was coming from.

“Then I did” She concurred in a small voice. “It had been happening for quite a while, apparently.” she murmured, laughing again

“He is a fool to cheat on you and it is not your fault that he is” I reassured her.

She said nothing while I wondered who the fuck her fiance was and what kind of asshole he is to have done this to her. I felt a pang of jealousy at the fact that I had been hung up over her, unable to move on while she had been planning to get married to someone else.

“Today is my birthday” She said quietly, staring into the glass in front of her.

I knew it was her birthday. I had selected today to come back into town and begin my search for her.

“Happy Birthday, Isabella” I told her

She glanced at me, a frown appearing at the center of her forehead. It remained there for a while until a song came up and it cleared.

“Do you want to dance, Damien?” She inquired, rising on shaky feet while I tried to catch her.

“I am not much of a dancer; you can go ahead” I told her

“Nobody is, scaredy cat… but the key is to follow the rhythm. Come, let me show you” she smiled.

I followed, allowing her pull me to the dance floor and I watched as she began moving against me as the song protested. I followed her lead, my arms coming around her as we twirled and she began laughing.

It was one of the most beautiful sounds I have ever heard and I could not stop myself from laughing along with her.

The song slowed, pulling us into a deep embrace. She clung to me and I held her like she was the most fragile thing in the world because at that moment, she was.

When the song stopped, she stared up at me with soulful eyes and I could tell she was no longer as drunk as she had been when we talked earlier.

“Do you want to get out of here?” She asked, her eyes suggesting something I have always wanted

“Where to?”

“I booked a hotel” She began and then blushed, her cheeks coloring up as she realized her words.

“It was supposed to be for my birthday celebration but I am not celebrating anything anymore” She muttered, her voice soft.

“I would love to, Isabella” I told her.

We reached the bar and I paid for the drinks, hailing a cab outside and settling into the back. Her phone began ringing then, trilling incessantly as she pointedly ignored it.

“Are you not going to get that?” I asked her

“It is the ex and we are officially over so no I am not going to get it and allow him ruin an otherwise beautiful night” She responded, keeping her face straight ahead.

I reached for her hand and squeezed it slightly to show her I was here and there was nothing to worry about.

Even though she did not recognize me, I was going to protect her and nobody would ever have the opportunity to hurt her for as long as I lived. She was mine and she was going to realize that soon.

    ISABELLAWhat was I doing taking a stranger back to the hotel? I thought to myself as we continued in silence.We stopped at the hotel and I waited for him to pay the cab fare so we could take the elevator together. I could already feel the jitters rocking my body as we stepped into the suite I had booked for Robert and I.The man stood behind me, his hands in his pocket and I was sure he was watching me… waiting for me to say something.I turned around and we locked gazes, my throat closing up even as I tried to speak.He stood there; a magnificent man, dwarfing the whole room and when he took one step towards me, I could hardly breathe.“I will let you go if you have decided this is not what you want” he finally said in a reassuring voice.He had no intentions of forcing himself on me and that was what he was trying to tell me.

    DAMIENShe smelled heavenly, her scent something that I desperately wanted to be enveloped in. Her fingers came around to touch the base of my skull as she kissed me with my arms wrapped strongly around her waist. I groaned as she rubbed against me like a cat, her thigh connecting with my hard on; she must have noticed my reaction to that movement because she did it again while I growled low in my throat.“Fuck yes” she cried.Her back arched in surrender and I took, pushing her slowly until she sank into the bed and I was hovering above her.I wanted her to feel it and to know that it was I that gave her such pleasure and so even when all i wanted to do was drill her until she could not tell one from the otherA scream erupted from her throat and her legs quivered as I fucked her, driving my cock in and out... fast and slow until I could feel the pressure mount in my abdomen.“Cazzo” I groaned as I began playing with her clit while I fucked her.She was crying and begging for more u

    ISABELLAI just knew it had been a fucking mistake to seduce and sleep with a total stranger, I groaned as I slipped into my home.The night had been perfect and my hangover very severe or maybe the reason why I was having this terrible headache was because of what the man had said to me.He wanted marriage? No… he had insisted on the both of getting married.What kind of person decided to marry a girl he had a one night stand with and because she seduced him.I collapsed on the bed, reaching for my phone again.Robert had called me a lot of times and had sent messages. I opened one of them, scoffing at the length of the messageMy love,Please pick up so I can explain. It is not what you think and I know you never want to speak to me again but I love you and I want to make this right. Please pick up or call me, then we can talk.

    IsabellaMy eyes widened and my chest cringed."What?" I asked, my hands that had been outstretched towards the files laying on the desk lifeless, still outstretched."You heard me. I have a thing against weak links and you Isabella, are the weakest link in this company" she said and my left eye twitched." You never asked me to do anything like this, if you mentioned it I would have done it" I tried to explain but she say down abruptly with a frown on her face "I don't know what you want me to say Isabella, clear your desk and leave the premises" she said and my palms grew fists." Is this really about the files or you don't want to continue seeing the face of Robert's original girlfriend so you don't feel like a little slut and boyfriend snatched? " I asked and her head whipped up to look at me dead in the eyes.I had placed it in my mind that nothing was going to stop me from showing my face at work but since Camila was going low, I was going to go lower."You have a lot of nerve

    IsabellaMy phone beeped on the dressing table and a message came in. It was him. I was to meet him in two hours, chills went up my spine as I thought of him. His beautiful eyes, the construction of his face, and the way his hands touched me last night.Snap out of it Isabella! I cautioned myself mentally.He was no more than a stranger. I shouldn't let what happened repeat itself. I grabbed my phone from the dressing table before I went to search for a decent and suitable outfit to meet Damien.After what seemed like forever, I ended up with a black velvet dress. It decently covered the upper part of my body, but showed no mercy to my figure. It traced out every line and curve of my body not to talk of the dangerous slit that laid on my thighs.I fixed my face and brushed my hair. I let my hair fall on my shoulders. I wore a simple block heel. I grabbed my bag and my card before I checked myself one last time in the mirror and left. The cab stopped outside the hotel instead of the ga

    Isabella"I can't do this," I said.It was a bloody lie and he knew that.But still, it didn't feel right. I just left my fiance and in less than three hours I had sex with someone else.I could feel his piercing stare above me as I got lost in thoughts for a few seconds.Did it matter?Robert had been having sex with her even when we were together. A new formed anger boiled from within my core and I pulled Damien closer."Forget what I just said," I heard myself say and the cutest smile appeared on his face. Like a child who was handed candy.His hands grabbed my ass and he lifted me unto himself. I circled my legs around his waist and my breast pressed on his face.Damien placed me on the bed , "Help me with my clothes," He requested and I obeyed immediately.I fiddled with his buttons and I managed to remove his shirt. My hands fell on his belt and he stopped me."Wait," He said before he moved behind me. I felt his body heat behind me and my senses tingled happily."Now come," H

    IsabellaMy eyes fluttered open and I stared at the ceilings.I had an interview and I was putting all my hopes on this because it was a low qualification.I moved to the bathroom and I had the warmest bath I could ever get in a millennium.I walked past my full mirror and I was horrified by the red bite marks across my body.That just served me right for having sex a day before my interview. I had to find something covered, professional, and classy to wear.I searched my wardrobe and I found a suitable outfit. It was a gift from Fiona. It was a tailored nude pan trousers and a jacket. It even came with its white innerwear. She told me it was made by her favorite designer.Once I'm done with it, I'll burn it to ashes.I let my hair fall to my shoulders, luckily I knew a few makeup tips. I highlighted my face a little, I grabbed my bag from the table, my phone was already inside.I gently locked the door behind me as my ride came after some minutes.It took approximately half an hour t

    IsabellaI was working here now, I looked around in astonishment. It felt too good to be true. I wanted to start immediately!Poor guy, he got fired. Maybe the boss heard about it. But how did Damien do it? I felt no sense of pity for him. He deserved it, maybe I wasn't his first victim.I remembered I was supposed to be packing."Is it okay if I start tomorrow, Mr.?" I asked"Billy, please call me Billy," He said, "You can start anytime you want, but do take a rest for today," He said."Okay, Thank you," I replied with a smile."The company's car will take you home," He said before he rushed out of the office."My address?" I called but he was already far away. Maybe he still had the soft copy of my CV.I traced my fingers on the marble table as different thoughts found their way around in my head.How did Damien manage to do all this?I reached for my phone inside my bag and the door opened."The driver is waiting," Billy said and I returned my phone in my bag.I checked the time o

    Damien My gaze never wavered from Vito's face as I listened to my arch nemesis. The gravity of the situation got more and more deadlier as the night wore on. The papers were still in Vito's hand as I kept the phone to my hear.My father had an inquisitive look on his face as he watched me closely. The line went dead and I put the phone back into my pocket. I collected the the contract and without breaking eye contact, slowly tore it up right in front of him.Vito's eyes widened in shock and utter disbelief. "What the fuck are you doing?" He yelled maniacally as he knelt on the floor trying in vain to join the piece of paper together in a futile attempt.For the first time in my life, I saw him for what he was. An empty barrel of a man, a pathetic and sorry excuse for a husband to my mother and a fucking dead beat piece of shit of a father. I felt nothing but contempt and disgust as I watched him scrambled across the whole floor."Do you know what you have done?!" He yelled at me as h

    Isabella As Ava was pushed into the room, I felt a rush of relief flood through me at the sight of her, mingled with a fresh wave of fear for our uncertain future. She stumbled slightly, her eyes wide with shock and confusion, but when she saw me, her expression softened with a mixture of relief and concern."Isabella, darling, are you alright?" she asked, her voice trembling with emotion as she hurried to my side.I reached out to her, my hands shaking as I clutched hers tightly, drawing strength from her presence despite the terror that still gripped me. "I'm scared, Ava," I admitted, my voice barely above a whisper. "I don't know what's going to happen to us."Ava's eyes filled with tears as she wrapped her arms around me, holding me close in a comforting embrace. "We'll get through this together, sweetheart," she said, her voice choked with emotion. "I won't let anything happen to you, I promise."But before we could say another word, the door swung open once again, and Camilla e

    Damien As I waited anxiously for Camilla's instructions, every second felt like an eternity. My mind raced with a thousand thoughts, each one more frantic than the last. Where was she keeping Isabella and Ava? What did she want from me? And most importantly, how could I save them from whatever danger they were in?The minutes ticked by agonizingly slow, the silence of the room weighing heavily on my shoulders. I felt a surge of frustration building within me, the urge to take action and do something, anything, to rescue my wife and mother from the clutches of their captors.Finally, the sound of my phone buzzing broke the silence, and I quickly grabbed it, my heart pounding in my chest. It was Camilla, her name flashing on the screen, and I answered it without hesitation."Damien," her voice came through the line, smooth and composed as ever. "I trust you've had some time to think about our situation."I clenched my jaw, my grip on the phone tightening with barely contained anger. "W

Panic tightened its grip around my throat as I realized the full extent of my helplessness, the stark reality of my captivity crashing down on me with brutal force.Frantic thoughts raced through my mind as I struggled against my restraints, the panic threatening to consume me whole.

    Damien As I strode through the familiar corridors of the office building, my mind raced with thoughts and plans. Natalia's brazen attempts to undermine me only fueled my determination. I had come too far to let her or anyone else stand in my way.But it wasn't just about me anymore. My family – Isabella, Ava, our unborn child – they were my driving force. I would do whatever it took to protect them, to ensure their safety and security. And that meant taking down anyone who dared to threaten what was mine.And now, as I sat there, surrounded by the trappings of power, I couldn't help but feel a surge of determination. I wouldn't rest until the Founder's Association was dismantled until my family was safe until Renaissance was secure.With a steely resolve, I reached for my phone and began to formulate my next move. There was no turning back now. The game was on, and I intended to win. Immersed in the intricate details of my plan, my phone suddenly rang, jolting me out of my focused s

    Isabella Chopping vegetables for the lasagna, I couldn't help but feel a sense of comfort wash over me. Cooking had always been a soothing activity for me, a way to channel my thoughts and focus on something tangible amidst the chaos of life.Ava, my ever-supportive mother-in-law, stood beside me, offering gentle guidance as we prepared dinner for Damien. "Now, Isabella, remember to slice the vegetables thinly for the lasagna layers," she instructed, her voice warm and reassuring.I nodded, taking her advice to heart as I carefully wielded the knife. "Like this?" I asked, holding up a perfectly sliced zucchini for her inspection.Ava smiled approvingly. "Just like that, dear. You're a natural," she praised, her encouragement filling me with a sense of pride.As we worked side by side, Ava shared her secrets for creating the perfect steak marinade, imparting her culinary wisdom with the patience of a seasoned chef.

    Damien I was watchful during the conference meeting. I took my time to really look at the board members sitting at the table to see if I could see a member of the Founder's Association but none were seated at this conference. Even Rose St Dumas was not present. Maybe she was preparing her cronies of corrupt businessmen and women for the final show down.Camilla Valdez was also not present but Natalia was. I could not tell what was going on in her head as she gazed at me. If her mother was one of them, did that not make her automatically part of tht fold? Was I over reaching? If the plan with the detective worked, it meant that a lot of people will inevitably get hurt. "What is the profit margin for today?" I asked as I got down to business. "Eight percent since last year," Natalia said in a professional manner. "That's lower than last two years," I said with a frown. "That was due to the Al Vegas controversy," One of the board members said. "You mean the embezzlement," I replied

    Damien Returning to the office after the recent turmoil felt like stepping into a minefield, each step fraught with the risk of detonating hidden dangers lurking beneath the surface. As I walked through the familiar halls of Renaissance, I couldn't shake the feeling of unease that gripped me like a vice, a constant reminder of the precarious balancing act I was now forced to perform.Every interaction, every word spoken, had to be carefully calculated and measured, lest I inadvertently reveal the truth lurking beneath the facade of normalcy I presented to the world. I couldn't afford to let slip even the slightest hint of my alliance with Michael, for fear of the consequences it could bring crashing down upon us both.My colleagues greeted me with smiles and nods as I made my way to my office, their cheerful demeanor a stark contrast to the turmoil raging within me. Behind their friendly facades, I couldn't help but wonder who among them could be trusted, and who might be secretly wo
