Damian's eyes blazed with fury as his grip on Bella tightened, not only did she accused him of being in cahoots with his brother to deceive her, she claimed he'd let Ray have it. Yes, he accepted to get married to her because she possessed information that could destroy all he had ever work for. She had told him from the beginning that she wasn't going to use it against him, if only he could love and respect their marriage. So yes, why not marry her and get her to love him, then search for ways to destroy the evidence. She was the granddaughter of the Evans, her dad being the sole heir to the Evans Empire. Ofcourse, he wasn't surprised when she presented those document and audio recordings containing information that could tarnish him. He underestimated her, that was the problem. "Why don't I just have a taste of this hot actress that I've had a crush on?" It was going to be their first and last, it was in a far away country anyways, could probably be the last time they see. Little
Jennifer sat alone at the bar in her waitress outfit lost in her own thoughts. Her eyes welled up with tears as she tried to hold them back. She ordered for a bottle a beer, all she wanted was to drown herself and forget it all, she didn't care about anything else. Just as the bartender served her drink, she quickly poured herself a full glass and downed it in one gulp. As she poured herself another glass, her head dropped to the counter as she began to sob softly. Why did he have to stay with her for so long only to deceive her? How dare he refer to her as a toy?Two men approached her as they sat beside her as soon as they noticed her distress state. "Heyyy, you good?" One of them asked, Jennifer looked up, gulping her second glass of beer as she ordered for more. Both guys stared at each other with a mischievous smile on their face. Jennifer poured herself another glass from the second bottle, she had just drank a bit before the other guy suggested. "Let dance hey, you know, ligh
Ray's hands remained wrapped around her waist, his eyes locked with hers, he leaned closer, his face inches away from hers, his eyes searching hers like he was searching for answers, he wanted her to speak more. "And?" He asked, his face drawn closer as he anticipated her reply. Jennifer's voice was barely above a whisper. "Then why do you treat me some certain way? Why get me into this and propose that I'm bound by your contract." "That was the only way." Ray responded, his voice fierce. "I'm not going to lose you to my brother once again." Jennifer could feel his hot yet seductive breath the smell of liquor on her skin as he spoke, she felt her tummy twirl in a funny way for the first time in a long time, but she still had questions. Her heart began to beat faster as she stared into his eyes. "For a year? You needed me for just a year!" Jennifer asked, her eyes filled with curiosity, it didn't seem like a reasonable explanation. Ray's words dripped with sincerity as he spoke
"He'd love this" , Jennifer's eye's sparkled as she stared at the bouquet of flowers she had just gotten for her boyfriend, Damian.She had been away for a few weeks on a business trip with her colleague and was supposed to return after a few days but everything got sorted out early. She was excited to see the surprise on his face, he told her last night on how they couldn't spend their fifth year anniversary due to her travel.The thought of surprising him made her blush, she wanted to feel his warm hugs and touch once more. Her heart began to skip a bit , she felt like a teenager again.As she relaxed into her car headed for his office, she tuned into her favorite radio Playlist channel. Just as she gets lost into the the music and her daydreams, the DJ's voice cut through."And there we have it people, Actress and Model Bella Ross ties the knot with millionaire Business man, Damian Thomas." Jennifer's heart stopped. Which Damian? Hers? Married? The words kept echoing in her head r
Jennifer stared at the glamorous interior at the Thomas mansion. Her heart raced with anticipation and worry, how was that night going to end?The hall was filled with many businessmen and influential people in the country, as her eyes scanned through the hall, she could see the Manager of the company she worked for present.There she was, dressed as a waitress, carrying a tray with glasses of wine admist the crowd while trying to hide her face from most familiar faces.She was an orphan but she was quite known a bit as Chairman Evans Secretary and righthand man as he was very fond of her and made sure she attended some events in his name or accompanied him.Just then she spots Damian who was next to his newly wedded wife, Bella with family and friends, there he stood tall and confident, he structured body looked perfectly fitted in his tuxedo. His brown eyes sparkled as he smiled and brushed back his brown curly hair with his hand.As soon as Damian stepped away to greet other guests
Jennifer's eyes widened as she saw her sister laying lifeless and pale on the stretcher. Her heart began to ache as she rushed towards them," Erica!! , Erica, please don't do this to me" she called out, her face covered in tears as she followed the paramedic towards the ICU."You need to wait right here ma'am. Who are you?" A nurse interrogated."She's my sister, please save her" she lamented, her eyes already swollen from the constant crying. Everything seemed to be getting out of control making her helpless. She crashed down to the floor and began to sob, silently praying for her sister's recovery.The doctor headed out of the ICU few hours later, "Miss?" He called Jennifer whose face was faced down weeping. "Jennifer" she replied as she stood up, wiping away her tears. "How's my sister, Doctor?"His facial expression became sober, "I'm afraid the situation has escalated."Jennifer's eyes widened, "how doctor?""Your sister has blood cancer, it appears she had been undergoing trea
"My boss sent me to you" he said, his hands searching his shoulder bag before bringing out a file."And who's your boss?" She asked, her eyes filled with curiosity.He streched the file to her. "Agree to the terms of this contract and your sister's medical bills will be taken care of, her education and also her living expenses will all be sponsored by my Boss."Jennifer's eyes widened, what was the catch? She snatched the file and read through it, her mind raced with the implications of the offer, it sounded too good to be true."What!!" She exclaimed, looked at him, then scoffed. "Is this some kind of joke?" She questioned, staring deep into his eyes. His expression doesn't change but remains still and serious. "So you expect me to randomly marry your boss who I haven't even laid my eyes on? What kind of contract is this?" She demanded, trying to keep a steady voice."It's a marriage contract, Miss Jennifer." He replied, his expression neutral. Jennifer stared at the contract again
Richard walked down the hospital corridor as he approached the ICU. Jennifer spots him and rushed towards him in a haste."I've signed the documents already, now please you have to help my sister" Jennifer said, her voice trembling.Richard stared around his present environment, there weren't much people around. "You know Miss Jennifer, one of the terms to this contract entails that you're to keep this confidential and not reveal this to a single soul" He said, his voice soft and silent. He continued, "you see, failure to comply with the terms will result in the penalty of fifty million dains".Jennifer nodded, "yes, I'm sorry for my recent behavior". "I'll accompany you to your hotel room this night, my boss will join you tomorrow" he concludes.Jennifer's eyes widens, "Hotel room?" Richard scoffs before opening the briefcase filled with money. "Make payments for your sister's treatment, I'll be waiting for you outside the doctor's office".Jennifer nods in excitement. ***Jenni

Paul and Grace stood admist the guest as they observed Ray and Jennifer from a distance. Grace's eyes rested on them with interest as Ray applied Jennifer first aid over a minor cut. "Hmm, so that's the same girl...not only did she receive favors in father's hands, she's also fortunate to be part of the Thomas family." She said, her voice filled with curiosity and a hint of surprise on her face. Paul's expression changed as his mind became calculative trying to process their current predicament. "The tables have turned." He said, his voice low and thoughtful. "With Alexander's speech, everything has changed. Everything!" Grace gaze immediately snapped back at Paul. "It better not!" She said in a fierce tone. "Get your son inlaw in that position by all means, this is no longer about you and your daughter, alot is on the line now." "Gracee!!" Alexander called out after he noticed her from a distance, he approached them. Grace's face broke into a warm smile as she saw him. "Alexander
Jennifer and Erica stood in between the sleek modern cocktail table as they sipped their wine, engaged in a hush conversation. Erica's eyes sparkled with curiosity as she said. "So that's how you got yourself into this situation." Jennifer nodded, "it's supposed to be confidential, but I don't want to keep anything from you." Erica's eyes widened with surprise to her sister's revelation as she gently touched her sister's hand. "Thank you! If not for you I..." Her words is sudden hushed with Jennifer's finger on her lips. "It was my responsibility Erica, I wouldn't be able to move on with life if something had happened to you, not when I hadn't appreciated our bond all these years. You're my only family, I'd take every difficult path just to make sure you're fine and well." Jennifer replied, her hand cupping Erica's chin with adoration as Erica's stared at her love. They never bonded so well in the past, Jennifer was always about the being a devoted secetary meanwhile Erica was being
Bella observed both men discreetly as she eavesdroped on their conversation, she had planted a listening device on Damian during their dance. She noticed the man suspiciously handing a phone to Damian, "the furniture Sir, it's currently held by the custom officers. It hasn't landed in Danaria yet, if they investigate it, there will be trouble." The man revealed, panicking. The phone he had given Damian was the one Damian used for his illegal business, Moxi X trafficking. He collected the phone, he intended to place a few calls here and there to get the matter settled. The man nodded as he made his way out of the club leaving just Damian as he made the call.Soon after, Bella noticed Damian's return and swiftly switched off the earpiece, pouring herself and Damian a glass of champagne as she began to sip from her glass."Hey babe, why don't we finish up business, huhh!" He said sniffing his nose on her skin. Bella giggled as raised her glass of champagne for a toast, Damain picked up
(Three month back) The night club at Los Angeles is filled with energy, the crowd was in full party mode as they danced and laughed together on the crowded floor, it was a masked party. Damian who was on travels, sat in front of the bar desk sipping his drink as he awaited his special guest, Bella. He had seen her just few weeks ago at an event in Danaria but he wasn't able to speak to her, although he was able to get her manager to fill in a word for him and ever since then, they had been chatting online. They were finally going to meet, but not in his Country. The bartender offered him another liquor as Damian's eyes scanned the crowd, watching some hot girls who stood at various corners admist the crowd, staring at him with flirtatious eyes, he wasn't putting on a mask yet, his guest had to recognize him when she comes in. He was a fine handsome young man, he knew that, but he wanted to give his guest the best first impression tonight.Just as he took a sip of his drink, his at
The room abuzzed with anticipation and excitement as everyone gathered around, all eyes fixed on Alexander who stood confidently on the podium and spoke through the microphone. With a heartfelt gratitude he began his speech. "I'm thankful to everyone for our coming to celebrate the 30 years anniversary of Thomas Group of companies." He spoke, his words sincere. "The past few days have been difficult for my family and I, marked by the painful loss of my beloved wife." He paused for a minute to recollect his thoughts, his eyes filled with appreciation as he continued. "Still, I am thankful for growth, the name Thomas Groups is a big name spread across various countries. I'm also thankful to my Sons who has helped shape our company into what is it today." He trailed off a bit, overwhelmed with emotions as he let out a little chuckle. "You know, this company would never get to where it is without my Sons." The guest began to applaud and cheer Alexander on but it all dies down as he co
Damian walked towards Jennifer who stood in the middle of the hallroom, unoccupied. "Where's your husband? Did he leave you? It's too sudden, don't you think?" He asked, his voice filled with sarcasm and malice. Jennifer looked at him, her face filled with irritation and detest, she wasn't going to entertain his tantrums today, she turned to leave but is held back, gentle and firmly by Damian. "Calm down alright? You don't want us to create a scene in front of all these guest." He said as he let out a sly smirk with his firm grip on Jennifer's hand. "Everything is going to change this night Jennifer, it'll all belong to me soon and not long after that, I'll make sure to get you, either to warm my bed or suck my feet."Jennifer's eyes blazed with rage as she shared an intense gaze with Damian. "You disgust me." She spat back. Damian let out a little laughter, his hand caressed his jaw before his finally spoke. "Don't act like a Saint now Jennifer, those were your favorite hobbies don'
