“What are you doing here??” That came off my mouth as I scurried towards the door where the both of them were standing. Damien, who had wanted to smile at me, had an appalled look on his face as he frowned. “What is going on??” He questioned, locking the door as he entered inside.Georgette grinned as she gave me a dumbstruck look before getting into the house. She walked past me.Damien and I are just standing in front of the door, both staring at each other.He urged me with his eyes as he dipped his head waiting for me to say a word“Ummm.....” The desire to itch my head as thought of what to say eludes me, why did I have to rush her like that?“I just wasn't expecting you to come back with someone” I faked the laughter “Just imagine how surprised I was” I fake chuckled and walked back into the living room and glimpsed at Georgette who looked so comfortable as she settled down, what the hell is she doing here?When Damien hesitated to leave the place he was standing, I knew very
DAMIEN“What exactly do you think you are doing??” Frank walked into the little office space in the house.He gave me an obstinate look, walking more until he was in front of meI dropped the pen I was holding and relaxed more into the seat, giving him ears to hear what he had to say“What is this? You know I'm preparing for the meeting we've wanted” I said to him.He scoffed, dropping his hand to the table as he sent glisters of glares my way“Okay I get it, you know I know you too much to know when you are up to something,” He saidI chuckled briefly as I dragged my hand to my chest, glancing at him“That's too much 'know' going on there”“You know what I am talking about, don't do that” he gave me a thorough glare with his eyes bulgingI know him too well as well to know he was pissed, and I know what he was asking me off“First of all, it's my business what I decide to do, and I'm not certain why I should share that with you” I took my eyes off him as they are back to the files I
“Who are they??” I quickly asked her as the two men came into the office space.She smiled at me as her face moved to themInstead of walking towards here, they are standing just before the door with their hands crossed on their arms and looking at us“As I said before, you will remember” She grinned, downing her wine before she stood upI took a step back and noticed a movement as the men walked closer, I took another one and they took theirs“What are you doing??” I turned back and shouted at them.They didn't move, nor did a muscle in their body movements. Instead, they just stood there“If you decide to move, they will do the same. All you have to do is keep standing there and everything will be settled” she said.Okay, this woman is up to something, what the hell is she doing?She clapped her hands together and a movement was heard. I turned to see an opening in the wall.Someone came out of it, two people. I would have screamed hard had I not seen this sort of thing in my house
DAMIENThere was something weird about the way Kathrine was behaving since I walked into this office, her face doesn't light in her smile neither is she interested in what was been said, although she is sitting hereCoupled with the fact that she lumped into this place, no matter how much she is trying to cover that part, what is happening?“And once we saw each other I knew having tea was the best, right Katherine??” Georgette asked, and she nodded but not a bit of a smile was found on her face, nothing.Okay, something is going on here and I do not know what that was “Well it is good then that she decided to pick something from here and since I am going home, she should come back with me” I stood up and thanked her as I looked at Katherine whose eyes haven't stopped looking at themGeorgette had to move her hands to her shoulder before she jerked away and saw that I was already standing“Or since she hasn't already done the shopping, she could stay, and I will help her find the bes
KATHERINEMy head felt so heavy, I touched them and opened my eyes to the darkness of the room, what the hell I'm I doing so fucking drunk?I closed them and slumped back to the bed, I thought I had gotten rid of this drinking habit and yet here I am, fucking waking up from a hangoverStanding up from the bed, I saw something on the bed desk beside me, it was on a plate and covered.My eyes spotted a note on it and I shifted my body a little to get itIt was a written note'I hope you eat this and become better' the notes readIt's obviously from Damien, a smile touched my lips as I moved closer and took the plate out, and took the spoon. I took a spoonful of the soup.“Ouch, “I spit them out as the bitterness of the soup touched my lips, “What the hell is this??”The door opened immediately and someone was walking toward the bedHe stopped and walked to the window where he dragged the curtain open and the brightness of the outside shone in the room“Good morning Katherine” Damien gre
What if she was messing with me? What if this was her way of messing with my head to think otherwise?I cannot put this back to Katherine because she can do anything, that is how dubious she isI sat down all through the flight and as many questions I searched for online, they all came out with zero answers.Although I cannot put back the fact that since after the accident she changed, yes she claimed to have lost her memories, but will her parents send someone else in her place??This and so many questions occupied my mind, and no matter how much I wanted to push all of them away, they just kept creeping back into my mind.“You have been distant since morning” Frank walked to the seat and sat down beside meI looked outside as the jet was moving and occupied my eyes with the images of the sky before me, maybe looking at it for a very long time will provide answers to these questions that have plaque my mindI wish it was somewhat easier to just walk up to her and ask her this, but th
“You are coming down here? You are not going home with me?” She asked shockingly as I proceeded to come out of the car.I held the seat and looked at her“Since I am already back in the country, I might as well just pay a little visit to the office,” I said to her, reassuringlyShe sighed heavily and rested her head on the chair as I came down and waved to the driver to keep goingAs they speeded off from my sight, my driver turned around, and I walked to where the car was parked and got inside“Where to sir??” He asked as I settled down.“I need to know where Claudia is, then I can go pay her a little visit,” I said more to myself than him as I dialed her numberShe must have a better explanation to do than for me to sit out all day and year waiting for some sort of explanation to happen, the best thing to do was to pay her a visitThe call was redirected through the person who was paid to make sure she wasn't misbehaving and as soon as he told me where she was I told the driver to m
KATHERINETaking out all the gifts I bought for the kids and spending the rest of the afternoon with them made me so happy, it felt like that was what I was meant to do than spend all that time in ParisBut still, Paris brought Damien and me closer, and I feel happy about it“Thank you, Mommy, I loovvvveee it” Bluey exclaimed happily at her new Barbie collection“Of course honey anything for my darling baby” I kissed her on the forehead for a long before she ran to play with her brother as the both of them played with the giftsI sighed with contentment looking at all of them and holding my baby in my hands.The door opened and Frank walked insideThey all ran to embrace him, even Kai jumping happily in my hand.“My little angel” he comes and takes her from my hand and is now showering her with plenty of kissesThe kids are standing in front of him as he settled down on the floor and is playing with themI don't know why the sight of this just squeezed a sharp pain in my chest, was I
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
