A ONE NIGHT STAND WITH DAMIEN SMITH "Why would Damien come to the rescue?"
The loud crash drew everyone’s attention, and she felt heat creep up her cheeks. Mark’s disapproving and disappointing stare burned into her back. “Blaire!” he snapped, making her shrink. “This is unacceptable. Get your act together or find another job.” The words cut deep. Blaire’s throat tightened as she tried to clean up. She quickly cleaned up the mess, her hands trembling. After a few agonising minutes of serving customers, her patience wore thin. When the clock struck noon, the rush began to fade. Blaire took a deep breath, ready to gather her thoughts when Mark called her into the back office. “Sit,” he commanded, his tone cold. Blaire perched on the edge of a chair, unsure of what to expect. “ Everyone alive has a problem and maybe you’ve been going through some things, but your performance has been terrific. This morning was the last straw.” “I know sir, I should be more careful” she began, but he cut her off. “I can’t keep you on like this. You’re fired,” Mark stated

As time passed, Blaire’s thoughts drifted back to Damien. She recalled the warmth in his eyes, the kindness he had shown her during their brief encounter. Could it be possible that he genuinely cared? Or was this just an act of obligation or something he felt compelled to do because of his wealth and status? Could she be misunderstanding his intentions again.With her mind still racing, she leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes, allowing herself a moment of relief. The events of the day had been overwhelming, and exhaustion tugged at her eyelids. Just as she began to drift, her mother woke up.“Blaire?” her mother’s voice was weak but clear. Blaire’s eyes snapped open, her heart leaping at the sight of her mother’s gaze meeting hers.“Mom! You’re awake!” Blaire said, her voice bright with relief. She rushed to her mother’s side, gripping her hand tightly. “How are you feeling?”“Like I’ve been hit by a truck,” her mother managed a faint smile, though worry lingered in her eyes.

The day of the interview finally arrived, and Blaire woke up to the soft morning light drifting through the curtains of her tiny apartment.She barely slept, her mind swimming with excitement, nerves, and a lingering sense of doubt. The possibility of working at a reputable restaurant, rather than the small coffee shop that had both limited and exhausted her, felt like the breath of fresh air she had desperately needed.She showered, dressed in her best outfit, a plain blouse and her nicest pair of slacks, neatly ironed and made sure she made available everything her mother would need before she left her apartment with a determined sense of purpose. Her shoes tapped softly against the worn tiles in her hallway, and as she walked out the door, she occasionally rehearsed responses to interview questions, feeling the butterflies take flight in her stomach. It was a mix of hope and determination, a feeling she wasn’t entirely unfamiliar with.When she finally arrived at the restaurant,

The grand ballroom of the charity gala gleam with the soft glow of crystal chandeliers, casting delicate reflections off polished tables and expensive champagne glasses. Guests dressed in their finest attire filled the room, mingling, laughing, and chatting as soft instrumental music played in the background. The Smith family, as one of the event’s primary sponsors, commanded a remarkable presence, attracting the attention and admiration of everyone present. Rachel stood near the stage, taking deep breaths to steady herself as she prepared to deliver her speech. Though she’d given countless talks, the weight of her family’s expectations was never something she took easy. Damien offered her an encouraging nod from across the table, and even her father, Mr. Harold Smith, gave her a rare smile of approval. Finally, the lights dimmed slightly, announcing to the audience to take their seats as Rachel stepped up to the stage. A soft silence fell over the crowd. “Ladies and gentleme

The Smith family gathered near the exit, offering polite goodbyes to the guests. When the last guest departed, Mr. Smith turned to Damien and Rachel, a sense of satisfaction evident in his expression.“Well, that went beautifully,” he said, his tone celebratory. “We’ve made quite the statement tonight.”Damien smiled, though it didn’t quite reach her eyes. “You’ve made quite the statement dad, certainly not us.”Mr. Smith chuckled. “ Well, surprises keep things interesting. Besides, this union is what’s best for all of us.”Damien nodded, though he felt an unsettling sense of resignation. The announcement had solidified his role in the family’s plans, and he knew it would be nearly impossible to alter his father’s vision.As they made their way out of the ballroom, each member of the Smith family was lost in thought. The evening had been a success. Meanwhile, Blaire noticed Fred's presence more often. He seemed to show up wherever she was, whether she was prepping ingredients, platin

His mind raced back to the night they had met, the spark of connection, and the ache of longing that had stirred within him. “I… I think I do,” he said slowly, as memories flooded back with their conversation, the laughter, the unspoken bond that had formed between them, even if just for a moment.“Wow, small world,” Rachel remarked, a teasing glint in her eye. “ I think she's new here? Because I have never seen her, it's my first time.”Damien was too lost in thought to respond. He watched Blaire as she interacted with customers, her movements and confidence. She looked happy, engrossed in her work, and a pang of disappointment settled in his chest.“Damien, are you okay?” Rachel asked, noting the way his eyes remained fixed on Blaire.“Yeah,” he replied, but his voice lacked conviction. “I just… I didn’t know she worked here. I’ve been wondering about her since that night, I helped her.”Rachel raised an eyebrow, clearly amazed. “You like her, don’t you?”“Like? I barely know her!”

A waiter hurried to fetch a first-aid kit, but Damien couldn’t shake the feeling of helplessness. Just as the first aid staff arrived, he glanced at Blaire’s face, pale and still. “Please, just wake up,” he murmured, his heart aching with worry. A few minutes felt like hours before the medical team finally came. They assessed the situation quickly, stabilising Blaire and placing her on a stretcher. “We need to get her out of here,” one of the nurses said, urgency in their voice.“I’ll take her to the hospital,” Damien insisted, his tone leaving no room for argument. “Just help me get her there!”As they wheeled her out, the scene drew attention. When people recognised it was Damien Smith, there were gasps and whispers of patrons, phones being pulled out to capture the moment. Some videos were shared online with hashtags like #HeroicRescue and #ConcernedCitizen, while others focused on the strange nature of the incident.“Damien!” Rachel called as she rushed to where he was, her eyes

She turned to the nurse who was beside her bed, insisting she couldn't have the child because she was not ready. “ Nurse, I can't have this child, he doesn't even have a father. Please, I want an abortion.”The room fell silent as Blaire's words hung in the air. Rachel's expression shifted from concern to shock, and the nurse, who had been quietly observing, took a step closer to Blaire’s bedside.“Blaire,” Rachel began gently, her voice laced with compassion, “I know this is overwhelming. Finding out like this… it’s a lot. But are you sure you want to make a decision so quickly? I mean this is a big decision.”Blaire’s eyes filled with fresh tears, and she clenched her fists, her whole body tense. “No I… I can’t do this, Rachel. I’ve struggled my entire life. I don’t even know if I have the strength to raise a child on my own.”The nurse cleared her throat softly, sensing the conflict in Blaire’s eyes. “Blaire, it’s okay to feel scared, especially when you’ve been given unexpected

A ONE NIGHT STAND WITH DAMIEN SMITH The downfall of the watcher and Gina Wright.
Harold was silent, his gaze flickering between Damien, Blaire, and the baby. Rachel stepped forward, her voice gentle but firm.“Dad,” she said, “this isn’t about business or reputation. This is about love. Isn’t that what family is supposed to be about?”For a moment, the room was filled with tense silence. Then, without a word, Harold turned and walked away, leaving them standing in the foyer.Damien let out a breath he hadn’t realized he was holding. He turned to Blaire and Rachel, a determined look on his face.“No matter what, we’ll be okay,” he said. “We have each other.”Blaire smiled, her heart swelling with love and gratitude.

A ONE NIGHT STAND WITH DAMIEN SMITH The baby is mine
The evening was still, with only the faint sound of the wind brushing against the windows. Blaire sat on the couch, her hands clutching her phone tightly. She had tried calling Damien countless times, each attempt met with silence. Her heart sank deeper with every unanswered call, and the weight of regret pressed heavily on her chest.Her pacing filled the room with restless energy, her thoughts racing. “What if I’ve lost him for good?” she whispered to herself, her voice quivering.Mrs Taylor, sensing her daughter’s turmoil, stepped into the room. “Blaire,” she began gently, “you need to calm down. He just needs time. Damien loves you. I saw it in his eyes the day he held your daughter.”Blaire shook her head, tears brimming in her eyes. “But what if he doesn’t come back, Mom? What if he decides this is too much?”Mrs Taylor placed a comforting hand on Blaire’s shoulder. “He’s a good man, Blaire. He’ll come around. You just need to have faith.”Despite her mother’s words, Blaire’s he
A ONE NIGHT STAND WITH DAMIEN SMITH My Damien, My baby daddy
The evening was serene, the golden hues of the setting sun casting a warm glow through the windows of Blaire’s small apartment. Mrs Taylor sat at the dining table, cradling her grandchild with a tender smile as Blaire moved around the kitchen, tidying up and preparing a light dinner.“Blaire,” Mrs Taylor began, her voice soft but firm. “You’ve done so much for your daughter. You’ve given her everything she needs. But don’t you think it’s time to be honest? To tell Damien the truth?”Blaire froze, her hands trembling slightly as she placed a dish on the counter. She had been dreading this conversation, even though she knew it was inevitable.“I... I don’t know if it’s the right time,” Blaire admitted, her voice barely above a whisper. “What if he doesn’t believe me? What if he thinks I’m trying to use him?”Mrs Taylor shook her head, rocking the baby gently. “He deserves to know, Blaire. And you deserve to live without this weight on your shoulders. He loves you—anyone can see that. Yo
A ONE NIGHT STAND WITH DAMIEN SMITH A one night stand has given me a bundle of joy.
The air in Blaire’s apartment was thick with warmth and joy, the kind that only a newborn could bring. Her daughter, wrapped in a soft pink blanket, lay cradled in Blaire’s arms, her tiny fingers curling around Blaire’s thumb. It was as if all the struggles, heartache, and fear of the past months had melted away, leaving behind only love and hope.Maria, Blaire’s mother, hovered nearby, her eyes glistening with happy tears as she handed Blaire a glass of water. “You’ve been through so much, my dear. Seeing you like this, with her—it’s a blessing.”Damien stood close, his hand resting protectively on the back of the couch where Blaire sat. He looked down at his daughter with awe, his piercing blue eyes softening in a way no one had seen before.“She’s perfect,” Damien said, his voice thick with emotion. “Just like her mother.”Blaire glanced up at him, her heart swelling. Their journey to this moment had been anything but easy. From their unlikely connection to the trials that had test
A ONE NIGHT STAND WITH DAMIEN SMITH Getting to the root of it all.
Rachel sat on her bed, staring at the glowing screen of her phone. The posts, the comments, the endless judgement—it was all too much. The photos of her and Marcus were everywhere, plastered across gossip sites and social media platforms. The caption stung more than the images: "Rachel Smith disgraces the Smith name—caught with a low-class lover."She tossed her phone onto the bed, pulling her knees to her chest as tears streamed down her face. Her father’s harsh words echoed in her mind, but she pushed them away. She didn’t regret standing up for herself or her love for Marcus. But the weight of the public humiliation was more than she had anticipated.A soft buzz from her phone interrupted her thoughts. She grabbed it, her heart lifting slightly when she saw Marcus’s name on the screen.“Rachel?” Marcus’s voice was gentle, filled with concern.“Marcus,” she replied, her voice trembling.“I saw everything,” he said. “Are you okay?”Rachel swallowed hard. “I don’t know. It’s just...
A ONE NIGHT STAND WITH DAMIEN SMITH The Smith scandal
Gina sat at her opulent vanity, her fingers drumming against the polished wood as she stared at the photos the watcher had sent. The images of Rachel laughing and leaning into Marcus screamed intimacy. In another, Marcus held her hand, his expression tender.Gina’s lips curled into a malicious smile. “So Rachel thinks she can play the hero, aiding Damien while sneaking around with someone beneath her status. Let’s see how the Smith family handles this scandal.”She called the watcher. “Upload the pictures,” she ordered coldly. “Use a burner account and make it salacious. Make sure it spreads like wildfire.”The watcher hesitated for a second. “What caption should I use?”Gina’s eyes gleamed with malice. “Write this: ‘The mighty Smiths are crumbling—Rachel Smith caught sneaking around with a man far below her class. Does this family have any dignity left?’ Add a hashtag: #SmithScandal.”“Consider it done,” the watcher replied.Within moments, the photos were posted, and the internet de
A ONE NIGHT STAND WITH DAMIEN SMITH Watch your back: Gina's relentless pursuit.
The next day, the mansion was eerily quiet as Rachel slipped out unnoticed, her heart pounding. She had grown accustomed to sneaking away to meet Marcus, but today was different. She wasn’t just meeting her lover—she was also visiting Blaire, someone she felt a strange yet undeniable connection with. Blaire had become a confidante in a way no one else could, someone who understood the weight of defying Harold Smith.Rachel arrived at Blaire’s modest apartment just as Damien was stepping out. “Perfect timing,” he said with a warm smile. “I need to run a quick errand. Rachel, you’re in charge until I’m back.”Rachel rolled her eyes playfully. “Got it, boss.”Once inside, Blaire greeted her with a warm hug. “It’s so good to see you. You look like you’ve got something on your mind.”Rachel sighed, sinking into the couch. “It’s my father. He’s relentless, Blaire. I can’t even breathe without him questioning my every move. And then there’s Marcus…” She trailed off, her cheeks coloring.Blai
A ONE NIGHT STAND WITH DAMIEN SMITH Love secret
Rachel Smith stepped out of the sleek black car in a quiet corner of the city, her heart pounding with anticipation. She glanced over her shoulder to ensure none of her father’s spies had followed her. Satisfied she wasn’t being watched, she adjusted her sunglasses and walked briskly toward the cozy apartment complex where Marcus lived.When she reached the door, she hesitated for a moment before knocking. Almost immediately, the door opened to reveal Marcus, his warm brown eyes lighting up as he saw her.“Rachel,” he said softly, pulling her into the apartment and shutting the door behind her. “I didn’t expect you today.”“I had to come,” she said, her voice trembling. “I couldn’t wait any longer.”Marcus cupped her face in his hands, searching her eyes. “What’s wrong? Did something happen?”Rachel shook her head, a weak smile playing on her lips. “No, nothing new. I’m just... tired, Marcus. Tired of hiding, tired of sneaking around like we’re doing something wrong.”Marcus sighed, b
