The driver drove me straight to the building of Damian, once I have gotten enough strength I stood up and got ready, and now I am in front of the buildingI’ve seen the building in so many videos online as well as pictures, but this is officially the first time I am taking a step toward it The driver opened the door and I came down, looking around the place.I have a shade on, hiding the dark circles from my cries even though I had already used foundation to cover most of the dark shade I took a step towards the building entrance and the driver followed me when I turned to him“It’s just Damien’s office place, I’m sure I will be fine on my own,” I said to himHe retreated and stood in front of the car as I continued inside. Once my feet stepped into the big reception area, I can see the dozens of eyes that fell on me, the whole place became so quiet that even a drop of needle sound could be heard I was nervous but at the same time, thinking about those children gave me a foot, and
I sat down there contemplating what to do, I will not allow him to just walk away like that knowing the life of the kids is at risk.And he would rather not listen to anything I have to say, which makes it all harder for meI must do something to correct this, to make him listen to me without giving out the real reason why I wanted him to release the manStanding up from the seat, I marched out of the office walking right outside. He is already gone, as he wasn't in the reception area anymore.I walked to his assistant, who stood up immediately she saw me coming her way.“I want to see Damien right this instant” I mandated and didn't care about the confusion on her face“I thought.....”“I said right this minute” She froze at the coldness of my voice before she hurriedly led the way There is no way I'm going to sit still and let the kids' lives be in dangerShe stood in front of a door and knocked, not getting any response. I moved her aside and pushed the door open immediately, not
DAMIENThere was something she was hiding, it is written right there in her eyes, and the determination that filled in themIt is there in the way she is repulsed and doing everything to flare me up to get to do her biddingI know Katherine so very well to know that she is hiding something and this thing is beyond herAs I heard the stomp of her feet and the silence that followed, I knew she had something up her sleeves.Leaving out the meeting, I took everything that was in my possession and walked to my office.What could be wrong? Who was this man that had her so desperate and bothered that she would do anything just to have him released?I picked up my car keys and just then the door to my office opened with Frank getting inside“Hey man, what is this about? I need to leave the office immediately” I said to him, getting my things.“What was that back there? What does she want??” He demanded, his hand motioning to the back.“You know how crazy she can be, I have no idea what has s
After Katherine had excused herself that she needed something inside, I didn't understand why I never felt at rest with that, so sitting down there alone with the kids and she out of sight made me somewhat restlessAnd the kids who are enthusiastic about how their day went never stopped telling me all the things that had happened, while my mind is all on Katherine on what she is plotting. As soon as I saw their nanny, I gave the baby to her and excused myself from the kids, walking straight to my room. Walking into the room, I was met with the sight of Katherine on the bed grinning up at me as she held her hand to her chin and fluttering her lashes at me“What do you think you are doing??” I asked her immediately, closing the door quietly as I scrutinized her, accessing the room because I can never trust Katherine.She was still fully dressed, just as I had seen her last in the living room except for her shoe which is discarded and laying on the floor with her on the bed.“What do
KATHERINEI ran as quickly as my feet could get me and far away from him too. There was something about him that made me for a minute forget the real reason that I was standing right there with him. That I wasn’t there on my accord, but had a plan. The way he had looked at me, the tingling sensation in my body, and the way the brief touch had felt so right, it all felt right.Leaning my back against the door, I close my eyes and slide down, Daisy you have to act first, you were not there to be seduced by those blue eyes I touched my pocket and breathed in when I realized it was still there.“Thank Goodness” Taking the phone out of my pocket made me feel more relaxed, at least all that wasn’t in vain.Now I have to think about how to communicate with the person who held the man, how am I going to get hold of him? I slid the phone up and it was opened. Thank God he doesn't have a passcode on his phone.Now all that is left is to send a message to the man holding him hostage.If I re
Sitting out on the balcony early this morning and letting the morning breeze touch my face was precisely what I needed. I sipped the hot coffee in my hand and shut my eyes when the hotness hit me It was undoubtedly what I needed, I needed a reminder that I have failed woefully and that there is nothing in this world that I deserve“Isn't that too hot??” Claudia walked onto the patio and sat down beside me, she looked into the cup of coffee I was carrying and frowned.I packed a light bag that very day a week ago and have been staying with Claudia and my sisterNot just doing anything but sitting down in front of the house all day and reminiscing on where I went wrong“You should have waited for a little while before taking this coffee” She made to take the cup from my hand, but I pulled it back to me“This is what I needed, Mother, don't mind that I'm sitting here, okay?” She looked at me with so much pity in her eyes, she has been looking at me this way since I arrived that night
He still has his work clothes on, in his hand is a briefcase, and his face? God, he looks so angry as his eyes are blazing so luminous, and the blue so deep with hatred that I’m wriggling inside regardless Because I have given myself a prompt, and I’m ready to take in as much anger as he wants to dish out, I held my baby stronger and a smile appeared on my face.“Damien, welcome back from work, how was work today?” I glimmered at him. He gave me a rough look and looked at me from head to toe, not in any way hiding the disliking in his eyes.“I ask what you are doing here?” he asked and looked at his sister “Take the kids away” he dictated to her and at once she came to where I was standing, trying to take the kids away from me, but they wouldn’t “I want to stay with my mummy” Bluey cried out as she wanted to take her, grasping my hand so tight as she refuses to move She moved towards Thompson who ran away from her side and is now embracing my leg holding it tight“I don’t want to
I searched for sleep last night and it never came, so I went back to my real mode in searching and discovering about Katherine and this time around it was about her husband Damien I needed to know everything about her marriage, I needed to have as much information as possible to know my next line of action and so Google was my best friend that night There was so much information on the internet, their first date? The day they met they actually took pictures as she was on the runaway and was officiating a campaign for him. The wedding was a fairy tale and to date, people look up to them. There was so much information, and the chemistry in the videos I watched was so intense. Where did it all go wrong?The man can barely stand her, and it was obvious he was trying so very hard to rid himself of any feelings he still had for her.I have to do something, even if that will be the last thing I do here before I leave. I am still in awe about the fact that I was brought to a home that has
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
