ADDICTIVE LOVE CHAPTER SIXTEEN
Sunday was silent. The maids had Sundays off. Lilian and Damian were both in their rooms. Lilian had rummaged through his library again and was reading another book that caught her interest. Damian on the other hand was having a calming cigar and a whiskey. He had nothing really to do. He dropped the cigar and popped open his laptop. No email, no texts, nothing. Well, there were texts, just not reasonable ones. The e-mails he had were from his past play toys. There was one from Lisa, Xena, Yasmin, Chloé e.t.c.He rolled his eyes. What the hell did they want? He made it clear to them that he was done with them. They had served their purpose. They should have known by now that he didn't do feelings and love. He wasn't that type of man. He deleted their e-mails and for good measure, he blocked them. They were clogging up his inbox.He looked at his watch. It was past 9. He was always an early riser, even on Sundays. He called for the chef to prepare his breakfast and have it ready on the
ADDICTIVE LOVE CHAPTER SEVENTEEN
Damian acted on instinct. He flew downstairs towards the back door and opened it. He ran down the hallway. He was just in time to see Lilian disappear beneath the water. He kicked off his shoes and jumped into the water after her. He swam towards her as he saw final bubbles drift to the surface. He took a dive and pulled her upwards to the surface. She was limp. He swam to the edge of the pool and put her on the edge. He climbed out and checked her vitals. His eyes looked intently at her chest to check if she was breathing.He administered chest compressions. But she was still not responding. Soon he saw a slight smile and it grew wider and became a laugh."Awwwwwn. What a hero!" Lilian said laughing so hard that her sides hurt.Damian was angry. He had just flown down the stairs and jumped in, with clothes, to save her. He actually thought she was drowning. Lilian still lay on the ground near the edge of the pool laughing. Damian had had enough. He put his foot on her and kicked her
ADDICTIVE LOVE CHAPTER EIGHTEEN
Damian was in his room. His jaw hurt badly. Lilian had a mean right hook. She was out of control. His nose was bleeding a little less but his new shirt was stained with blood. He went to the freezer he had in his room and got an ice pack and placed it on his nose as he held his head back. He was in pain. He imagined how much pain he would have actually been in if her kick had connected with his balls. Instinctively, his hands went down there to cradle them. The thought of it already made his groin hurt slightly. He was still taking her to work. He wasn't sorry about anything he had done. She needed to learn respect and if that meant learning it the hard way, then so be it. He went to the bathroom cupboard and got out a bottle of aspirin and some spirit and plasters. He had looked in the mirror and saw a slight cut on his nose. What kind of woman gives head buts?! The cut stung as the spirit seeped into the wound. He took off his blood-stained shirt and threw it in the corner alongside
ADDICTIVE LOVE CHAPTER NINETEEN
Work went ok for Lilian except for the occasional stares at her bruised forehead. A few people did ask her what happened to her and her reply was that she hit her head on a shelf. A wise few however didn't need to be told what happened to her as they had seen Damian's bruised nose earlier. She had not made any friends at work because she mostly kept to herself and Damian was a strict employee. She put a pen in her pocket and felt the money that the old man had given her. Her escape plan was coming together. She had paid $5 as a bus fare and still had $195 left. It was more than enough to get her home from any part of New York. Unless of course, the business even wasn't in New York but in another city or country together. She erased the idea of it being anywhere else but New York from her mind. The event was on Saturday so she had less than five days to get all the necessary info that she needed. She finished with file delivery and went off to get coffee. She could have equally escape
ADDICTIVE LOVE CHAPTER TWENTY
The night was quiet and soundless. There wasn't a single cloud in the sky. The moon's presence was replaced with millions of twinkling stars. The lock of Lilian's room turned and soon a gentle click of the door closing could barely be heard. Lilian opened her eyes slightly and a dark figure which stood in the corner caught her eye. She ignored it. It was probably just the shadow of a tree or something. She turned and continued to sleep peacefully. But then again, what would a tree be doing in her room? Soon she felt pressure on the e corner of her bed. She opened her eyes a little but didn't turn. Maybe it was just her imagination. Soon the pressure increased. She was now fully awake but dared not move. Was it a burglar or something? Soon she could feel the figure directly above her, it's warm breath on the back of her neck. She was frozen in a spot. She didn't know what to do. Soon a warm hand pushed her hair away from her neck. Lilian couldn't take it anymore. She pounced on the fi
ADDICTIVE LOVE CHAPTER TWENTY - ONE
Damian came home from work much later than expected. Lilian had finished cleaning and had taken Antonio's advice on eating. His buns were delicious with cream filling. Damian took a quick look around the house and said nothing. He went straight upstairs and signaled Lilian to follow him. She stuffed the last piece of cream bun in her mouth and walked grudgingly upstairs. Damian was already taking off his shirt when she came in."Ever heard of a paper towel?""What?" said Lilian, a bit confused."Wipe your mouth. You look like you just give someone a blow job."Lilian touched her lip. She had a cream filling all over her mouth."What if I did?"Damian looked at her with a raised eyebrow and said nothing. She walked over to his wine cupboard and took a paper towel and wiped her mouth."Did I ask you to go there?""Nope, but I figured that since you weren't going to be a gentleman and get me one, I might as well do it myself."Damian rolled his eyes. He didn't have her time."Your cleani
ADDICTIVE LOVE CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO
Damian was so engrossed in his work that he didn't notice that he left Lilian on the chair. He looked up over his laptop and saw her sleeping, her head propped up on her shoulder. She looked so peaceful and harmless. Her chest slowly and gently bobbed up and down with each breath. She looked so beautiful and quiet that no one would ever believe that she was the one that always wanted to give the billionaire of the city a piece of her mind. He watched her as she slept and a lock of her hair fell over her face. He wanted to push it away himself. He didn't want to wake her. Every now and then, she would take a breath that was deeper than the rest and stir a bit in her sleep. Damian looked at her. It wasn't an expert that needed to tell him that if she kept sleeping like that, she was going to hurt her neck. Damian rolled his eyes. Did he really have to do this. His conscience fought internally with itself. Soon it was settled. He saved up his work and went over to her. He put one arm ar
ADDICTIVE LOVE CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE
Work was even busier for Damian the next day. His entire focus was on planning his business event that was to be held in three days. He was to make a speech and present their latest business idea. He wasn't really concerned about the speech but he was scared that it wasn't going to go the way he had planned it out, just like the way his meeting spiraled out of control. He needed to also buy something more festive and presentable. He needed to buy something that made him look amazing. He remembered that Lilian was yet to get something better for herself after she turned down his suggestion of the blue dress. What was wrong with the color blue? He also remembered that she said that she wasn't going to let him see the dress and he wasn't one to go back on his word. He had to...trust her.He dreaded that word–trust. This was business. He trusted no one. He relied on and only trusted himself. And he was definitely not going to trust an ex-thief. But she gave him her word that she wasn't g

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

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
