The house is in motion as everyone is arranging things for the dinner that is about to take place. Most of all, Damien is overly busy, as, for some reason known to him, he wants to make it perfect. Already done with everything inside the room, I came outside, surprised with how well everything was turning out“Ah you are finally outside” I turned around to see Frank sitting beside the pool as he dipped his leg into the water, it looked like he was looking ahead of me, but he was looking straight at meI sighed softly and walked to where he was sitting and settled down beside himI wore a heel and didn't bother to dip my leg into the pool.“I heard what happened today,” he saidOf course, he knows, Damien practically tells him everything, which means he must have told him about the plans that we have embarked on, or hasn't he?“As you can see, she was later found, which is very important." I tried to keep my voice calm as I said thisHe nodded beside me before dipping his legs deeper
DAMIENI walked into the room with the phone in my hand and the jacket. Discarding it to one side, I picked the phone up and, as expected, he locked it.That was so easy for me, having worked in tech in my early years of life, this was nothing. I sat on my desk and kept the phone close to me as I opened the system and typed into something.I picked the phone back up and scrolled up to the screen, and there was the number I was searching for. Smirking, I typed in the number on the web, and at once everything inside the phone was shown on the computer screen of the computer. That was all I needed.I typed in the passcode there and the phone opened itAlready saved everything inside, I opened the message and there was nothing. Okay, he deletes the messages as soon as she sends them.I smirked again and typed in the system and there was the whole message that has been exchanged since the phone was bought, there was a lot, tons of them that I know were fromI hacked through his social med
KATHERINEMy whole body felt so sore as I tried sitting up from the bed, it felt like an impossible task, so I settled back down and instead, I am grinning at the memories of last night, the blush of my cheeks couldn't be contained.My eyes moved to the spot beside me, and I didn't see him there. I groaned and closed my eyes, of course, I wasn't expecting that he would still be laying down here by the time I woke up.My whole body feels like I have been run into by a truck or trailer, that exactly is how I feelThe thought brought a smile to my face, a well-satisfied smile that I cannot hide no matter whatOkay, so what if I just had a night of fun? Maximum fun if I must say.From all the work we have been doing, there is nothing bad about a day or two of fun, nothing bad at allI heard the sound of the door and closed my eyes tight as a smile is trying to tug to my lips.“Mom, you have been sleeping forever” I heard a loud groan and quickly opened my eyes as Bluey stood in front of m
It's been two days since we all have heard from Damien yet and this is making me more worried and unnerved as I tried not to think of it so often but failed woefully.The fact that he hasn't even spoken to the kids yet and the staff at home are saying he hasn't been back since those two days, what could this mean?The kids and I are heading to the airport as we have to end the vacation since we haven't seen or heard anything about their fatherI need to make sure that at least I have everything under control there and stop worrying maybe a little bit and that is when I hear from him since I cannot keep calm if I don't.Trying the number again sent me to the voicemail“What the fuck is going on??” I swore hard ending the phone call since I wasn't getting back to him like I had expected, it's been like this.Now I don't even know where he was headed and didn't know shit, why am I this worried?We arrived at the airport and stepped out as I held little Kai as we walked towards the path w
DAMIENThe scene before me was rather disheartening, not a sight you want to come back to after what I had just experienced from where I had gone off to.“What the hell is happening here” I yelled and at once everyone stopped what they were doing and faced meKatherine was on the floor, looking so tired and exhaustedI saw the look of relief that flashed through her eyes and at once I went to where she was sitting on the floor and dragged her upI held her waist to balance her less she fell again“Oh my son, you are finally back, I thought something must have happened,” my mother said as she tried to step towards me with gratitude in her eyes“What does that mean? I can't take care of myself or can't have a moment when I want to be away from all this drama?” The light in her eyes died off as the words I had just spoken stung through her heart.Kathy who felt pale in my hand, I dragged her closer and used my hand to shield her“I don't want a repeat of this ever again” I warned and the
KATHERINEHe suddenly looked serious, which, of course, I had been expecting, if he was suddenly sweet and tender, then I had questions to ask“My mother, did she tell you why she needed the file too?” He asked me, unaware of his question.I was expecting that or that he will tackle that fact, so here I am trying to stumble on my words on having nothing to say about that“I don't… I'm not sure she… Umm, did you mention anything like that” I said to him?He didn't look like he believed me, but surprisingly, he didn't push it“I'm sorry she treated you that way, I should have made sure to avert that from the beginning” he apologizedI haven't been expecting that apology, so I am a little taken aback“I don't… Of course, not that I was expecting you to know that…" I shrugged.It was nice that he was apologizing on behalf of his asshole mother who only thinks about herself, now I wish I knew the reason she wanted the file“Are you going to confront her!?” I asked him.He gave it a long th
Still shivering from what had befallen me, I am pacing around the room as I wait for Damien to come back, how did this get into my room?I am so sure I didn't see it when I woke up from sleep, so how did it get here?The door opened and quickly I rushed toward Damien“What was inside it? Did you find out??” I questioned him instantly.He walked past me as I trail behind, still trembling from the fear of the unknown.He walked to the chair and settled down, looking just as worried as I was“Five dead rats,” he said“What??” I clasped my mouth in shock, as it seemed the whole room was suddenly spinning, “Dead rats?”I held my chest tight as the very breath I was taking seemed to be leaving me, dead…rats?“I don't know what it means, but there wasn't a single note after that one” I slowly raised my eyes to him, and he looked just as shaken as I was even though he was trying so hard to hide it“Now I have to know who he is, investigation is already ongoing on how he was able to get into y
The whole house is upside-down, I along with every other person have searched this house thousands of times, and I am pricked with sweat as panic rose in my chest, where did it all go wrong?“How can you tell me that at that moment the CCTV wasn't working? Are you crazy??” He yelled at the man who was working with the crew, and he recoiled inside as he bent his head.Tears are streaming down my eyes, and my entire body is shaken with the fears of the unknown.“And you….” He turned to me, “This is all your fault. I don't want to see those fucking tears in your eyes”. He walked away afterward. My feet felt weak, my whole body numb as I was shaken through the pain of what was happening.Where is Blue? Where did he take her to?Even if I wanted, I couldn't shake out the tears that are grudging in my chest, the pain that has been stabbed there. We still don't have an idea of where she is or how the person got into the house in the first place, everything is fucking messed up.“You had o
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
