ADDICTIVE LOVE CHAPTER FORTY-TWO
Chapter 42Work for Damian was frustrating. How dare Dr. Gray talk to him that way. He would deal with him as soon as he got home. His mind was buzzing and he couldn't focus. All he could think about was the way Dr. Gray had treated him like a child. His speech was harsher and anyone who got too close was chewed out. Poor Adam received most of his tongue-lashing. It wasn't the first time but Mr. Richards's words today were extra spicy, specially prepared to be a morale killer. Even Rosé couldn't escape. She rarely came up to Damian's office but today he had, to explain the stock numbers they had. Damian was fiery with her."Mr. Richards, there is an issue with the stock numbers. I think...""What do you mean by 'you think'? Do I pay you to fucking think? I sent those numbers and they are fine so what the hell is your fucked up brain thinking about?"Rosé was taken aback. He had never spoken to her like that before."Why so feisty this morning?""Shut up and fucking get out of my offic
ADDICTIVE LOVE CHAPTER FORTY-THREE
Damian was in the car and the chauffeur drove silently through the countryside. He had taken a detour to clear his head. Today was the worst day for him. He reached his private family garden and opened the gate. A walk would clear his head a little bit. He walked among the roses and chrysanthemums thinking about what exactly he did wrong today. He could think of nothing. He didn't believe in Karma or stuff like that. He was a firm believer that he controlled what happened in his world so he made every decision count. Soon thoughts of Lilian flooded his mind. Was she okay? Not that he cared of course. Or did her? He shook his head but he could still see her deep blue eyes etched in his mind, staring at him. He stopped walking and lingered among the roses. Their beautiful scent filled the air and bumble-bees buzzed happily in and out of them, collecting their pollen and sweet nectar.He looked at one intently and soon the time hit him. He needed to get back home. He still had work to do.
ADDICTIVE LOVE CHAPTER FORTY-FOUR
Lilian had gone back to her room and she was lying quietly on her bed. She needed to rest as she was terribly sore. She closed her eyes and decided to sleep off. She had had more than enough for one day. She just wanted to be alone in her room away from everyone. She wanted no one, not even Damian to stress her out. As she closed her eyes, she had the weirdest dream of Damian apologizing to Bet for everything. She wanted to scoff in her sleep but she couldn't. There was no way in the world or any other word that Damian would ever feel remorse. He was simply just cruel. Her sleep was plagued by one impossible dream after another. She dreamt that Damian was going to love her, and bought her a new car, a new house, etc.Immediately she woke up when she had a dream about kissing Damian and getting married to him. The very thought of it made no sense. She couldn't imagine spending her life with someone like him. If anything, she'd rather be sentenced to life imprisonment. She looked around
ADDICTIVE LOVE CHAPTER FORTY-FIVE
Damian's work day was pretty good. He had hit some big profits and was in a generally good mood. He had toned down his insults and proof of it was that he didn't call Adam a 'redundant moron' but used the nicer term, 'fool'.He was in his office sipping a glass of cold juice. He really needed to treat himself when he got home and he knew exactly how. Soon his door opened and it was the financial advisor. "Sir, we have some news. Mr. Jackson and Mr. Torres have asked to form a business conglomerate with you."It was about time. He read in the paper a few days ago that their businesses had hit rock bottom and they were terribly bankrupt to the point that they couldn't even afford to pay the wage of their lowest-earning workers. He was silent and immediately he burst out laughing. The advisor was taken aback in surprise. He had never heard Damian laugh and certainly not as manically as this. He waited for him to finish and finally, he stopped. He had almost teared up."Tell them, I said
ADDICTIVE LOVE CHAPTER FORTY-SIX
The restaurant was beautiful. The Spanish theme was breathtaking and intriguing. They walked to a table that had been reserved for them. Damian had made reservations earlier while he was at work. They sat down and free red wine was given to them but Lilian refused."I would like water.""Señora?""Water."Lilian felt stupid. The waiter that served them didn't understand English and she had no idea how to speak Spanish."Ella tomará un vaso de agua.""Si, señor."Lilian looked at Damian. When did he learn how to speak Spanish? She wanted to ask but she kept quiet. It wasn't in her place to ask questions. At the beginning of the evening, she was very quiet. Damian was actually not enjoying his night. He had just put his rivals in the ground and put a tombstone over their graves and he wanted to celebrate. Her silence was not mood-lifting. All she did was stare down at the table."What is wrong with you?" Lilian quickly raised her head and looked at him in the eye."Nothing Sir.""Why ar
ADDICTIVE LOVE CHAPTER FORTY-SEVEN
Damian went it his room angrily and slammed the door. His breath was fast and heavy. He walked to his bed and lay down. He was probably overreacting. He took deep breaths and relaxed himself. He closed his eyes and cleared his mind. He was bigger than the flimsy feelings that were running wild in his head. He poured himself a shot of tequila and sat down in his chair. He was calmer and he began to think a little more cautiously about the events of the morning. He exhaled and soon realized that there was nothing to think about; he had simply been overreacting. Just as he was about to take a sip of his drink, there was a soft knock at his door."Mr. Richards, should we bring breakfast to you?"Damian in his flurry of emotions had forgotten that he hadn't eaten. He demanded breakfast and put his drink down. He would drink after a proper meal. He paced around his room and finally stopped in front of the mirror. He looked himself over and frowned."I have really let myself go. I need to hit
ADDICTIVE LOVE CHAPTER FORTY-EIGHT
Damian was up later than usual. His dreams were plagued with images of Lilian. In some, she was sexy and inviting and in others she was siren-like: inviting and sweet but seeking to drown him. He couldn't let it happen to him. He got ready for work as fast as he could to make up for lost time. He had to skip breakfast and headed to the car. He zoomed out of the compound and headed to the office. He had nothing particularly important happening but he had to keep his mind occupied. Soon he was at work. The business of the office filled him with renewed work energy. It was time to make money. He headed to his office and sat down in his chair. He brought out his laptop and almost immediately, Adam came in with some documents."Good morning Sir. Mr. Jackson and Mr. Torres have signed the paperwork.""Good. I'll call them and make the transfer. Thank you, Adam."Adam raised a suspicious eyebrow and handed the papers to Damian and left the office very confused.Damian read through the documen
ADDICTIVE LOVE CHAPTER FORTY-NINE
Lilian had read five chapters of the book before dinner was ready. She had felt so uncomfortable. She wanted to be invisible or for the ground to open up and swallow her whole. Damian was quiet the whole time and she hadn't lifted her head to check if he was paying attention or not. His neck ached badly from being bent for so long but she dared not to massage it.Soon a maid came up with the dinner tray. There were, however, two meals on the tray. Lilian was in horror; she was going to have dinner with him. The maid took her leave after she had set the plates on the table. Damian poured a glass of wine for Lilian and himself and he began to eat. Lilian was very nervous and her appetite left her. She looked at Damian and decided to put some food in her tummy with the consolation that she was going to regret it later if she didn't. Dinner was quiet and only cutlery was heard. Soon they finished and Damian called for the plates to be carried. He looked a Lilian and she turned her head awa

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
