We met with the officer outside as soon as we got out of the room, he walked there towards them first. “I'm sorry to hear what happened, Mr. Anderson,” One of them said to him. Instead of replying he turned back and looked at me and the moment he tried to make sense of what he had just heard was right there. He took a deep breath and turned to the Officers“I just want to find my daughter, where is the lead??” He asked them.They started speaking as I felt a hold on my hand and Frank was leading me out. What? I should just…I tried shrugging his hands away, but he gripped them tightly and Damien turned around and glared hard at me at once I followed Frank and left themI shrugged my hand away from him as soon as we left the scene“This was all right? What did you do this time around??” He asked, holding the bitterness in his voice.Even his grasping which he dug deep into my hands told me of how angered he was. “I don't…” I cleaned the tears that ran down my face, “Just leave me
It was a tall gray-painted bungalow building, it was the only one in the midst of what looked like an abandoned area, which made it effortless to spot. We are standing just a few meters away from it, overlooking the building. “Let's go there now,” I said to the driver as I made a move, but he held my hand, stopping me from walking further“I promised Mr. Anderson that I was going to make sure we wait for him and there is no way I will let you go there all alone” he dragged my hand backI tugged it away from him and eyed him up, but he was unmoving and with the way his eyes frowned, he wasn't letting me go off on my own. I can't just keep standing here when I know that somehow Blue is inside there, what if?Furthermore, I tried to wind off the thought that they would escape before we got into the building. It was supposed to be discreet, he couldn't tell anyone but just lead them to the address I had sent over.As we stood there waiting, I can feel my fears coming through, I can fee
KATHERINE“What are you doing? You are driving too fast Damien stop now” Mustering the last of my strength with the fears that crowded inside of me, I yelled at him.He doesn't look my way as his eyes are still far ahead as he kept driving focused, and his eyes poised on the road, not listening.He is overtaking all the cars as he sped into the road, but I am holding on to the seat like my whole life depended on it, I am shit scared“Please Damien you have to slow down” I shouted, but it seemed the more I spoke, the more he kept speeding“You want to kill the both of us? What do you think you are doing?” I straightened to hold the steering wheel, but he hit my hand, dropping it off.“Just… Just fucking keep quiet for a minute, that's all I am asking” he barked as his eyes didn't leave the road as he kept going, ignoring all the traffic signs and not minding that he was speeding.I tried to control the way my whole body has stifled, the way the fear that has been etched inside of me as
I tried not to let him enter the car and drive off, but he was holding tight towards that as he tried climbed inside the car. “Damien please, You are too angry right now to do anything, you can't drive right now,” I said to him, standing in front of the driver's side of the car, stopping him from entering inside. He gave me a very long stare and I can see his hand raising to shove me out of his way. “Ok, think about this, why did you think he did this? You can't just go right there and confront him right now” adamant to whatever he was trying to do, I still tried to persuade him from going out there. He bit under his cheeks so hard as he struggled to come under the terms of what had just been sent to him, but no matter how much he tried, it was happening right there in his eyes, and it was fucking true. “How could he….” His hands went to his face in frustration as he tried to calm himself down. I took a little step towards him and my hands were on his back, running my hands ther
DAMIENAs we stepped into the house, the first thought that should be on my head is on the fact that my friend had betrayed me, the person that, I thought, will be loyal for life wanted my family to end but no, it wasn'tIt was the thought of Katherine. I closed my eyes and tried to reminisce all that she had said. She wasn't Katherine but Daisy. How possible is that? How could that even be true?I thought I had fallen back in love with my wife, with someone that I loved with everything inside of me, but now I was falling in love with a total stranger, someone I knew nothing about. I should have kicked her out the moment she spilled this gibberish to me, this speech that made no sense, but there was nothing I could do because this longing inside of me wanted her so badly. Walking away from her side, I went to the kid's room and opened the door to see the nanny seated on a chair with the security officer standing as they watched them The nanny stood up immediately and she spotted m
KATHERINEAs I began to pace around the room, I thought of where it all went wrong, what was I doing before I got to this place?Apart from falling from the impact of the chase, there was nothing else that I could remember, where did it all go wrong?My mind cannot be at ease until I discover just what was happening.I heard a loud sound from the living room and leaving my room I ran towards the place and right Damien was hugging Bluey“Oh my God” I screamed and ran towards them as I engulfed her in a deep hug. It felt so good having her in my arms after being scared that she was going to leave us, that she was gone from here, and then looking at her and holding her right now. “Bluey? Oh my goodness, you are back” The tears I had been holding all evening rushed down to my face as I held her. It felt so precious holding her like this, it felt so good knowing that she was alive and with us right now“I missed you Mommy” she softly whispered, and I held her more as the tears would rat
Three Weeks LaterI am having the last shoot for the day, it has been a wonderful week of doing many promotional shoots, and I am getting so much better at this. “That was wonderful, you did so well,” my manager said as soon as I stepped away from the screenI grinned at him as I walked towards where the snaps were and looked down at the camera as the images were selected. Gosh, they were all so breathtaking and I swear I can't believe how much I have improved. I moved away from the screen, seeing that it was okay and there was no need to go for another. I walked to where the groups of make-up artists were standing and walked to the seat as I settled my ass down, exhausted as hell. “I think I would rather not leave with this make-up, speaks so much that I am not ready to make,” I said and looked down at the lady who was ready to get my face startedShe grinned and walked to my front as she started taking the makeup off my face. Once she was done, I felt lighter and much better,
I sat down in my room thinking of all the ways I could help Damien, he has been the best anyone could ever be and right now, everything he has worked for is crumbling right in front of him. The stocks are falling and regardless of what he is doing to raise them, it keeps getting worse. Being associated with the worst criminal in the country was what made it happen. He had told me he once worked for this man but didn't know how evil he was, not until he did and escaped from it all, but since the man was owning him, he had to pay upWhich was how he was able to expand his company, and now this is happening.Not only are things becoming worse each day, but things just aren't getting any better. I wish I could help him, I wish I could go into that room right now and break the head of the person who made all of this happen. Like he wasn't part of the gang that made this plan like he hadn't been there all along. I looked down at my phone and scratched my head as I thought of something
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
