Chapter 105Sean was busy cooling his head in a holding cell. His mind was a flurry of activity about last night. He nearly had her. He nearly had Lilian. His plan seemed flawless.The police station was busy and he kept his head bent the entire time. He wasn't sure of what was going on and what exactly he was supposed to be waiting for. He had never been arrested before.When he was brought in, they asked him a flurry of questions and he answered them the best he could trying his best not to implicate himself."What were you doing on Mr. Richards's property?""I work there.""Then why were you there in the middle of the night? You work a night shift too.""I left something important that I needed to take.""Why were you then led out to his house with a gun pointed to the back of your head."He was silent."Mr. Richards and Miss Mendez's statements both say that you were in Miss Mendez's room and that you tried to rape her. Is this true?"He was silent again."Look. You're only making
ADDICTIVE LOVE CHAPTER 106
Chapter 106Damian had a great time in Antonio's place. Antonio was hell-bent on teaching him how to be the best man for Adam and Anna was talking with Lilian. They watched the men every now and then and giggled at the little tutoring."So your saying, that the best man can't dress better than the groom?""Exactly. You wouldn't want to steal the spotlight from the groom on his special day, now would you?""Who the hell makes up these rules? Is there some kind of wedding federation?"Antonio rolled his eyes. Damian was going to be a lot of work."How would you feel if Adam out-dressed you at your wedding."Damian laughed. "That is impossible and you know that."The two continued to talk and Damian and Lilian ended up staying for lunch as well.Lilian got a phone call and it was Gwen."Hey, Gwen.""Hey, Lilian. Thanks again for being my Chief bridesmaid. I'm just so happy. I wanted to tell you that your dress is supposed to be purple. I need you to stand out from the other bridesmaids.
ADDICTIVE LOVE CHAPTER 107
Chapter 107Work was soon over and the duo got home. They were happy to see Antonio and that he had made his famous souffle. Damian sat at the dining table to eat. The maids were quite surprised. Damian never ate at the table. Antonio sat with them and watched the pair eat together."You both look quite adorable together."Damian had no idea how to reply to that comment and simply continued to eat. Lilian raised her head to look at him but he kept his head down and focused on the food. Antonio smirked. He knew that Damian was trying to avoid the comment but he wouldn't be able to avoid it for long. He left the pair alone and headed to the bathroom to change out of his apron."So how has Adam been pushing you with the best man duties.""It is horrible. Stressful and full of frivolities. I should just be home.""Well, that is how you're going to stress someone else when you get married..."Lilian stopped mid-sentence. The words that tumbled out of her mouth had come out wrong. There was
ADDICTIVE LOVE CHAPTER 108
Chapter 108Sunday rolled up faster than anyone expected. Damian was standing in front of the mirror with his suit on. He had to admit, that he liked it and Xavier had very good taste. His suit was modest. Not too flashy and not too dull. "I just want this to all be over. And I have to wear this ridiculous bow tie."Damian adjusted the bow tie for the umpteenth time. He really hated it. He just wanted to wear a regular tie now he was struggling with the annoying little thing on his neck. He heard a soft knock on his door and it opened slightly.He looked and saw that it was Antonio. He was dressed up in a very handsome suit and had his hair done.He looked at Damian and smiled."Well, someone is looking like a best man."He walked up to Damian and helped him with his tie."This is ridiculous," Damian grumbled."Just give it a chance will you? You might actually enjoy it."Damian scoffed and looked at the mirror."You know that this might be you in a few years," Antonio continued."Pl
ADDICTIVE LOVE CHAPTER 109
Chapter 109Antonio peered into the darkness and suddenly, a masked figure jumped out and grabbed him by the throat. He struggled and tried his best to fight back. The masked figure pushed Antonio to the ground and grabbed a knife from the drawer and tried to proceed upstairs. Antonio grabbed his leg and pulled him to the ground. He managed to stand up and grabbed a frying pan and hit his assailant on the head. The man reeled on the floor and the noise made such a racket that Damian was alarmed and headed downstairs. He met Antonio in a furious battle with a robber and tried to jump in to help. He pulled the robber away from Antonio and unfurled a right hook which the robber dodged. Lilian rushed down and saw the men fighting and was unsure of what to do. Damian twisted the man's arm and the knife fell out of his hand to the floor. He tried to go for a choke hold but the robber used his elbow and hit Damian in the face. Antonio tried to grab the knife but he was too slow. The robber
ADDICTIVE LOVE CHAPTER 110
Chapter 110The following week was miserable for everyone. Who would guess that after such happiness there would be such sorrow? Everyone was gathered at Antonio's house and was clad in black. Anna was distraught. She was in a black lace dress and she cried her heart out. The warmth of Antonio's home had vanished and all that was left in its place was coldness and sorrow. Damian never would have guessed that he would be the best man at a wedding and now attend the funeral of the one person who was actually like a father to him.Lilian stood by his side, her eyes were full of tears. Antonio truly cared for her. He was happy and kind and loving and he didn't deserve to die in such a horrid way. His kind grey eyes flickered in her memory and she shed another silent tear. Adam was there as well with Xena as well as Rockwell and Gwen. There was silence in his compound as they all looked at his gravestone with broken hearts.In loving memory of Antonio RussoA Father, Friend, and Husband1
ADDICTIVE LOVE CHAPTER 111
Chapter 111 Damian was up early. Lilian was in bed with him and she felt him wake up. She sat up and rubbed her eyes and saw him heading to the bathroom to brush his teeth. He was still silent and hurt and she decided that it was best not to bother him. She left and headed to her room to get ready. It was the day of Sean's trial and she was going with him. She wanted to look into the eyes of Antonio's killer. She wanted to make sure that he paid for what he had done. She had a quick bath and was soon ready and was downstairs waiting for Damian. He came down and saw her dressed. "Where do you think you're going." "I am coming with you and don't even think of trying to stop me." Damian had no intention of doing that and they walked to the car together. All the maids had been dismissed till further notice so the mansion was lacking its usual buzz of activity. They got to the car and headed in. The chauffeur was silent and he drove them out of the compound. Lilian looked at Damian and
ADDICTIVE LOVE CHAPTER 112
Chapter 112The days flew by and Lilia was in constant fear. She was silent at work and at home and spent as much time away from Damian as she could.She sat at her desk in the office silently typing some documents. Damian was at his desk. He hadn't spoken to her and he barely did. They had grown so cold and every time she looked at him, she felt fear and unease.Work was almost back to normal. There were still a few glum faces but nevertheless, business was good. It was a surprise that his mourning hadn't affected business. Jackson and Torres were still in line and Adam was giving work everything that he had in him. Rosé was different too. His cheer and smile had faded and she looked unhappy, especially when she saw Lilian. She knew something was wrong. They and she had a misunderstanding with Xavier and he was to go back to Greece soon and they hadn't talked for a while.She came to deliver some papers to Lilian and saw her glumly typing on her keyboard. She wanted to tell her somet

Chapter 121Every day was filled with fear for Lilian as she waited for her week in the hospital to come to an end. Finally, it did come and she was filled with more fear than ever. Damian hadn't come to see her again and she asked Dr. Gray to take her home.Noon came and Dr. Gray signed her discharge papers and he took her to his car. She was weak but she managed to walk on her own. She got into the passenger's seat and Dr. Gray was at the wheel."Are you ready?" he asked her."No."Dr. Gray exhaled."Damian really has changed. For the better you know. He has been coming to therapy with me.""Can we just go?"Dr. Gray revved the engine and soon, they were on the road. Each mile they covered filled her with anxiety. She was nervous and unsure of her decision. They soon got to his place and the guards opened up. Gray drove into the compound and they were very surprised to see her. They had thought she died.They walked to the door but before they could knock, Damian opened the door. He
ADDICTIVE LOVE CHAPTER 120
Chapter 120It was rolling into the third week and Damian went to see Lilian every day after work and then he would have therapy sessions with Dr. Gray. Rosé saw him constantly at the hospital and soon, they were able to smooth things over.The business was rising steadily and they had managed to secure the number two spot. Adam was really putting in a whole lot of effort and if he hadn't been on the ground, Damian would have been dirt broke.Every day, he felt his heart plummet. Lilian hadn't woken up yet. Damian was at work and was in a very important meeting. He had managed to get his investors back and was in a presentation, made by Adam about how they could increase company profits. The reactions were positive and there were a lot of nods. Things were actually going very well.Damian listened to Adam as he spoke and was very impressed with him. His phone soon rang and interrupted the meeting. All eyes were on him."I am so sorry. "He pulled out his phone and saw that it was Dr.
ADDICTIVE LOVE CHAPTER 119
Chapter 119For an entire week, Damian couldn't go to work. he was home, a drunken mess. Adam was calling every day but he paid him no attention. He just wanted to be left alone. He had gone to the hospital every day of the week but he was never let in. Dr. Gray had told the security personnel to turn him out if they saw him. He feared the worst for Lilian. He didn't know how she was doing, whether she was dead or alive. He sat at his wine cabinet and took another swing of liquor. He e was dead drunk. He still hadn't found his briefcase and had questioned all the maids about it but none of them knew where it was. He was miserable. He took another swing and fell to the floor. His senses were all muddled. Everything in the room began to spin. Every now and then he would see a figure that looked like Lilian but when he rubbed his eyes, it was a coat or chair. Sometimes he would see Antonio but the smile on his face was a frown that intensified his guilt. Camilla had called a couple of
ADDICTIVE LOVE CHAPTER 118
Chapter 118Lilian was in her room sobbing into her pillow. Her head ached and her body was weak. Suddenly, the door busted open and she saw a furious Damian at the door glaring at her. He looked around her room, throwing her things to the floor and pulling her drawers wide open."Where is it?!"Lilian was confused. Where was what? Damia looked at her and she was ill. Her eyes were only glistening with tears but he didn't care. He walked up to her and grabbed her long black locks and yoinked her out of bed. Lilian felt her scalp in terrible pain. She was dragged to Damian's room and he threw her roughly on the floor. She hit her face on the polished tiles and her lips began to bleed."Where is it?! Where the fuck is my briefcase?! You were the only one that saw me open it you keep it in my wardrobe. You are the only one that knows what is inside it!"Lilian began to cry. She had no idea where it was. She hadn't taken it."I don't know," she said amidst tears and sobs."Domain grabbed
ADDICTIVE LOVE CHAPTER 117
Chapter 117The weekend was short. Sunday was busy for him and so was Monday. Tuesday rolled in and Damian was getting ready for work. He hadn't seen Lilian all weekend. She stayed clear of him and out of his sight. She only came out when she was sure that he had gone out or in the middle of the night to get something to eat when she was sure that he was asleep. He wasn't bothered, as long as she wasn't in his way, he was fine with it. His meals were made by his maids and they honestly did a good job though none of them were official chefs. He had put his search for a new chef on hold. It seemed he had bad luck with them. They were either crushing on his women or dying for some reason.Rosé was still mad at him for whatever reason and she was still giving him her sour attitude. He had released their pay cheques and was in his office enjoying a game of solitaire.Adam texted him. He was really grateful for the little increase in his already massive pay. He smiled at the message and co
ADDICTIVE LOVE CHAPTER 116
Chapter 116Camilla and Damian were at it till late in the evening. Camilla was terribly worn out and Damian lay beside her equally breathless.She turned to him but he gave her no attention."So, what changed your mind? I thought that you were intoxicated with your sweetheart"Daman continued to stare at the ceiling."You can leave now."Camilla wasn't offended in the least. She knew Damian quite well and that this was how he worked but it was good enough for her. She had had wild nights with Sean but this night had to top all of them by the largest margin.She got up from bed and picked up her clothes and got dressed. Damian watched her and the entire time, she had a smirk on her face. Soon she was dressed and she picked up her handbag."I had a spectacular time Mr. Richards. I hope we can do this again."She winked at him and left his room. Damian took a deep breath and ran his hand through his ravaged hair. He looked at the clock and saw that it was quite late. He had asked his dr
ADDICTIVE LOVE CHAPTER 115
Chapter 115Lilian was home alone and she was looking through his cookbook. She had asked the maids not to bother about breakfast for her and soon they left after the chores for the day were done.She wanted to make breakfast for herself using Antonio's cookbook. She saw a recipe for waffles and she was instantly down to try. She found some waffle mix and the waffle maker and set to work.She enjoyed herself while she was making the meals. She felt like the book was her only connection to Antonio. Whenever she used it, she could hear his voice gently guiding her to his thick italian accent. She wondered if Anna felt that way when she was at home.Soon, she was done but it was missing the berries. She wondered if the berries in the garden were ripe. She took a little basket with her and headed out the front door. She saw Dean and Dylan having an arm wrestling match. They stopped as soon as they saw her. Dean looked away a bit and Dylan noticed and stifled a laugh."Wher are you off to
ADDICTIVE LOVE CHAPTER 114
Chapter 114Damian came home late and he found Lilian in the living room with the television on enjoying a bowl of pasta. He could smell the food and it smelled just the way that Antonio used to make it."How did you get that?"Lilian was started by his presence. She didn't know that he was home. She didn't even hear the car drive in."Anna came by and she brought me Antonio's cookbook. So I followed the recipe and made his famous spaghetti."Lilian was smiling. She hoped that Damian would like to have some. It would probably cheer him up but he simply gruffed and headed upstairs. Lilian was alone. she took a deep breath and continued watching her show. She was uninterested now and she sat there staring at the television and she couldn't hear a thing they were saying. Her phone beeped beside her. She picked it up and saw that it was a message from Rosé "I hope you are okay. I didn't see you at work today."Lilian smiled sadly. Rosé seemed to be the only person that was checking on he
ADDICTIVE LOVE CHAPTER 113
Chapter 113Damian walked in and he seemed very angry. Lilian was nervous and she swallowed hard when she saw him. Rosé saw her fear and held her hand reassuringly.Damian looked from Rosé to Lilian. Rosé stared back at him unafraid. Damian looked at the pair and headed upstairs. Lilian breathed and Rosé looked really nervous and scared for her."Are you sure that you want to stay here? My offer is still open. You can stay with me."Lilian nodded."I'll be fine."Rosé couldn't force her and she stood up and left. Lilian sat at the dinner table unsure of what to do. She was terrified and scared. She finally decided to head back up to her room. As soon as she got upstairs, Damian called her."Come here. Now."She walked to his room and closed the door behind her. Damian was at his wine cabinet, drinking.She stood looking at him."I don't need you at work anymore. You can stay home. The maids will be brought back and you can stay at home. Now leave."Lilian left and didn't look back. Sh
