“What was that for?” I shrieked at the impact of the slap she had landed on my face.“And I am going to do that over and over again” she shouted so loud. Something caught my attention on the left side and I saw a group of people who had rounded the left side, their cameras all out as they faced us. Closing my eyes, I touched my cheeks which were burning so hard. This is for one of her stupid shows, everything is for some stupid show.I am going to let this one go without anything, I will allow her to keep being stupid. I flexed the part she had slapped and instead of how I wanted to behave, I placed a smile on my face. “Let us forget the stupid thing you just did now, I will let that slide” I turned around to walk away when she held my hair. “I am not done with you, you fucking bitch” She dragged the hair so throwing it off the ground. “What the fuck?” I screamed as she held my hair and did not let go. “I am going to teach you that you have to know who you are messing with” She
DAMIEN“What the fuck is this?” She stomped into the office, slamming the file on the desk. Looking away from the computer that I was working on, I looked her way. “Explain this to me right now” she yelled again. I knew what it was already, which meant I didn't need to take it up or anything. “You just have one job, Katherine, sign the fucking paper and everything will be settled” I simply said. She chuckled forcefully, dragging the chair opposite me and settling down. Her hand on the desk looked at me forcefully like threatened or something. I dropped the pen I was holding and looked right back at her. “I said I am not divorcing Damien, not based on that bitch” she yelled. “Don't you dare......” I stood up, “Not ever in your life utter that word out of your mouth and call her that, isn't that supposed to be your second name” Her eyes dimmed as mine hardened on her. She is making me so angry. I clenched my fist hard, trying to control myself from all the anger that she was
I found myself in the confinement of my house after the video that was released by Katherine in the early hours of the day. She cried, calling me all sorts of names, and now in the world of entertainment, I am one of the trending people. “Babes, your name is fucking everywhere, what are you going to do about this?” she asked me just like she has been repeating the more she goes through more webs. My phone has been off, the internet is another world, but the people who are currently in front of my house are another world.“If only I can get rid of them then I know that I have answers to the questions you just asked me, what am I going to do with all these people? I have no idea”. I stood up again and walked to the window, trying to open the blind and look out from where all of them were, this fucking frustrating. “After all the lies she had said and not even one of them had to ask if what she said was valid? What are they doing here anyway, maybe I should.....”I tried to walk to
It was a small house, away from where the rest of the world lived. Not that small in structure but it was homely, wild yet somewhere that I needed to be in all of this. “I don't know if you will like this place, but I needed to get you away from all of that mess” He explained as we got into the front side of the house. Using my eyes I accessed the whole place, it was indeed a big house, it was located in the middle of nowhere but inside the compound looked like another world of its own. “This place is nice,” I said, looking around. “Well when you get inside you will know it's pleasant" he grinned at me as he reached out to unlock the door. He ushered me in and the moment I stepped into the house I was awed at what I was looking at. I have never felt more welcome than I did looking at this place, there was something so warm and chilled about it. The AC was on from the feeling in the air, yet there was something that made you want to sit down and just curl your toes around here.
The first thing that my mind told me as happy as I could get was to get to the kitchen. It was something I knew the kids had missed, wanting them to rest from the small trip to this place and then get down to have something to eat. As soon as I walked to the kitchen, I noticed Damien following me. “Hey” he called out“Hey,” I called back out to him, not hiding the grin that was playing on my face. I was delighted. “I'm sorry I didn't tell you the kids will be here with us, I don't think I should leave them with her because.....”“No Damien, you don't need to apologize for that. You know how much I've missed the kids and this will be us connecting again, and I love it”I walked to where he was standing and placed a kiss on his cheeks, holding his hand “I loved that you thought about them, and I am happy they are here, you don't have to worry about a thing” I smiled at him before taking a step back“Now go get them readied up from all the journey while I prepare something nice for
The kids were excited after the whole breakfast thing, there was enough space to play in the house, and so they went on with that. “Thompson be careful, she is a girl okay” Damien shouted as he raised his eyes from the computer he was operating on. It was funny to see all that was going on and just be one of the views. Something touched my feet and I looked down to see Kai staring lovingly into my eyes. “Hey baby girl, how are you?” I muttered in a baby voice and then scrunched down to pick her up. She stared at me lovingly and couldn't take her eyes off me even as I had her in my hands. It made this sweet sensation pressed right into my belle and I just wanted to keep holding her like this. Running my hands to her cheeks, she smiled so widely, and then her bubbly laughter was heard. “What are you doing?” Taking my eyes away from the laughing baby in my hand, I looked at Bluey. She had her hands on her waist as she stared down at me. The annoyance she was trying to spot wasn
DAMIENI was mad at the way she had spoken to Daisy, neither the way she was looking right now. Remembering she was my little girl and was only angry as she should be, I pushed down the anger that was threatening to come out.“Why did you say that?” I asked her to let the both of us settle down on the playing swing.She pushed her arms together as she huffed and faced the other side, which was a sign of refusal to speak to me. Putting down my feelings, knowing that it didn’t mean anything right now, I stood from where I sat and scrunched down in front of her.The feeling I was known for and the one I knew that she must feel was the only thing I allowed to be clouded.“Talk to me my little princess, you can always tell Daddy everything.” Still, she refused to speak as her eyes were down, and her face filled with a frown.I wish there was something I could do that would make all these go away, but feelings didn’t matter right now, just as Daisy had said.“You know that when you speak
DAISYWith the whole mess that was going on, I just knew that this whole coming to this place and being together until whenever we were tired was cut shut. Damien had been on his phone, speaking to his investors in a virtual meeting, and from the thousands of grunts and swear words that I was hearing he was visibly annoyed. I was too, I was angry when the stupid motherfucker had the guts to grant an interview after everything he did to me. Now he alleges that I left the house after I meant another person when he was the one who fucking slept with my sister. It all makes me not have a moment to rethink anything, and I do not like the way that I keep getting angry just thinking about this. The door opened and Bluey walked inside. I set aside everything that I had been doing plus the anger that was roaming on my chest and gave her my attention. “Dad is mad,” she said, coming to sit down beside me. She has a huge frown on her face, and you can see that she is also fighting to get m
EPILOGUE (DAISY)My favorite time of the day is waking up snuggled into his arms. He always holds me so hard to his body that I can barely move and once I try to escape from his hold he will push me back to himself. That always brings so much smile to my face, so much happiness that I can't begin to mention. “Are you awake?” His sleepy voice asked, and I tried to pretend I was still sleeping as I closed my eyes tight.“I could hear your thoughts so wild, and you know….”Laughter bubbled out of me as he tickled me “Stop it” I yelled, pushing his hands away from me as he got a hold of me and was still tickling me so badly. “Say please,” he said while still tickling me so hard that my chest hurt. “Never” I pushed his hand away, trying to stand from the bed, but he was so strong, and he caught me before I even escaped. “Okay, please Damien, please” His hand softened as he held me to himself. We are still on the bed now and panting a little from the play that we had just engaged i
I hated that smell, which was the first thing that hit me. Groaning, I am turning around as I hear a sharp noise and my attention is on the faces that are looking at me. They are so familiar. Someone with white rushed to where I was lying down on a bed, and the rest of the faces looked like they were waiting for a verdict from him. He said something and the rest of them disappeared. He was the only one in the room as he examined me. Furthermore, he held my eyes open and searched inside, bringing out a touch of light as he scanned inside my eyes. I wish I could see what he is doing, I wish I knew what the hell I am doing here. Finally, the sounds that rang in my head went away, and now I am staring into his face. “Are you okay? Do I feel pain anywhere? Mr. Anderson” He said, looking into my eyes. This man knew me, am I, Mr. Anderson?I couldn't seem to think of anything else as I just looked at him. He motioned to someone, and they came to where he was standing. He took a syr
DAISYWhat are they up to? I was left alone for a while in my solitude when the door opened, and he was the only one who came back inside. Not a noise was heard on my part as I let him walk to where I was still tied. He looked at me without saying a word. His eyes were unpleasant, they almost reminded me of the Kenny that I had seen before, the one I went somewhere in my mind.“I see you are proving stubborn,” he said as his eyes went down to the food that lay beside me. I would rather not have a taste of even water from this place, I didn’t want to take anything that was theirs.“You are going to remain here for a very, very long time, so you better get used to it” he regarded me sternly before turning around.As he walked away, my eyes were fixed on his back, they were stiff.The last time my eyes held him, they were hiding something, his stiff back was hiding something.Now I wonder what this is about. It is very much obvious that he isn’t working alone, he neither has the money
My eyes bulged in shock at the person who stood there. I wasn't expecting to see him, I wasn't expecting to look at him right now as he stood there and gazed heartily at me. Of course, it was a fake smile, nothing was real about the fact that he had me locked here and now smiling at me. “Well well it seems I have finally had that audience with you” he grinned as he came closer. I tried saying something as anger welled up inside of me. My mouth was gagged, I could not say a word and even when I tried moving, of course, I was tied up. He walked closer and then stood meters away from me as I shrieked and made noises wanting to move away from here. I wanted to smack my hand right across his face, Kenny, why will Kenny keep me locked here? “I mean, why are you looking so shocked? You think I was going to let you off like that? You embarrassed me with that divorce letter and what? You are going off another person almost immediately” He laughed again and nodded to the person beside me.
DAMIENI checked the time again and again, but there was no still sight of her, and it was getting so late. Walking outside, I stood in front of the door and looked at the gate, hoping for it to open and for her to walk towards me, but as I stood, there was not a sign of her, this has me so worried. Not only have I been standing here, but I have tried the phone a thousand times, and it keeps going to voicemail, and I am legit worried. Calling my assistant, I demanded her friend's number as I had tried to search for it but didn't see it. She picked at the second ring. “Is Daisy there with you?” Once the greetings were over, I asked her.“No, she went back home like three hours ago, she said she wanted to get some groceries on her way home, and then I waited for her call but she still hadn't answered me. Is everything alright?”I have to tell her things are good before ending the call. She went to get groceries three hours ago and isn't back yet. There was only one place where she
Katherine“It can’t be.” The same widened eyes and gasp that came from Juanita was the same on my face as soon as I had seen the name.“How does that even make sense? They are not fucking married” I yelled so loud into the air like that was where my anger was, and I was directing it at that.This was so painful and annoying at the same time, this wasn’t how it was supposed to be.It was meant to be one of my children and in that way, I can claim every single thing he ever owned, but now it isn’t. I turned to Bluey who looked at us with widened eyes and I walked to where she was seated.“I have called someone that will take you back to your father, you and each one of you I don’t need in my life, now when they are here, you get out of this house because you are so very useless to me” I could see the tears that began forming in her eyes, but that has and would never be a concern of mine.I wasn’t interested in marriage or even kids until he came and proclaimed thousands of love and wi
DAISY“She can't be here.” I looked outside again and yes, the person who was grinning tightly as she cracked her head on the door was her, how dare she step into this place?I knew it wasn't my place to let her stand outside, especially when she was with Thompson, so I unlocked the door, and she let him in first. He hugged me tightly before running off to find his siblings. The door was still half open when she stepped inside. “Look who we have here, the new mother.” Her eyes twinkled from what she had just said as she stepped inside and looked around first, “Seems the father isn't here yet.” Thinking it was some funny joke that had just been told, she laughed. My face is still tightened, and my lips are pressed into thin lines as I refuse even the slightest expression to drop from my face. “What do you want?” I asked her to step more into the house, and she closed the door and followed me. I sat down on the couch, and she didn't, obviously preferring to stand. “I don't care h
DAISYA month and I am still pissed at Damien for what he did, he had assured me he knew exactly what he was doing. Today is the day that we get to see Thompson again. I was excited as I walked around the kitchen preparing his food. The others are in the kitchen as well, making the place very lively. The sweet thing about spending all the time in Damien's place is that Bluey had gotten to trust me. She likes me so very much now and always wants to be in the same space with me. “I want to know how to cook like you, Daisy,” she said from the kitchen table where I had placed her and Kai as they played. “That is easy" I grinned at her while continuing the cooking. “Wow here smells amazing” Damien walked into the kitchen looking at the mess that we had created. He laughed before dropping his bag on the table and walked to where the kids were. “My lovelies” He blessed them with thousands of kisses before walking up to me. My whole body tingled as he stood at my back. “You there,
DAMIENI was sitting in the office checking out all the work that I had missed plus thinking about the meeting and how it didn't go to my favor when the door banged open. “I said that you should.....” My assistant stood in front of the door as she tried to stop someone from getting inside, but she pushed her aside, and it was Katherine. “I have told you already that you will not stop me from seeing him, quite all this shit,” She said as she pushed herself inside and then looked at me. The weather was hot plus the whole place was sweaty and seeing her here already made the day worse than it already was. “She is already inside, you can go now,” I said to my assistant, who gave Katherine the longest of the eye stare before she pushed the door and left. Katherine smirked as she walked to the seats and pushed it open, settling down. “What do we have here? You seem to be in the wrong mood today” She grinned as she couldn't keep the fake smile away from her face. I had a terrible morn
