Being His Wife Chapter Ninety seven
Damien's POV; I downed another glass of whiskey. It burned my throat bringing tears that stung at my eyeballs. I felt miserable, utterly useless, despicable in fact. I had pulled the last straw and Ariana had finally left me. I couldn't count the number of times I thought it was a dream or a prank but each time I looked around my eeriely quiet bedroom, it painfully dawned on me that my wife was gone. As usual, my coping mechanism was to drown myself in work and not think about anything or anyone else. I had called and called and called. She did not pick up. She never did. I threw a fit the day I came home and saw that a lot more of her stuff were missing from the closet we shared and when I asked, I was informed that she had come to take more of her stuff and no one cared to let me know about it. I yelled at my mom who confessed that she was aware of Ariana's visit before hand and had promised to not let me know about it. Everyone in the house bore a brunt of my anger that day.
Being His Wife Chapter Ninety eight
Ariana's POV; San Diego is a very beautiful place. When I moved into Brianna's beach house, I saw that it was good as new. Scratch that, it's actually a new place. All the furnitures were brand new and covered up to prevent dust. She informed me that she had bought the place so she could come chill for the summer, away from the hustle and bustle of LA life. There were times I would just sit by the beach side all alone because I felt lonely for the few weeks I had been here. I would cry whenever my mind wandered over to my father. I used to scroll over to our chats and read through them, I used to listen to our voice notes and find myself laughing and crying at the same time. I missed all our long calls, our bickerings and never ending arguments over him taking care of his health. A part of me still did not want to believe he was gone. I don't think I'm the only one who feels that way about losing someone, am I? Most of the time when I think about him, it never felt like he had g
Being His Wife Chapter Ninety nine
Damien's POV; I saw the news and the next thing that crossed my mind was to go straight to San Diego but I was so tied down with work and I couldn't make the trip. A week had gone by so fast and I still hadn't gotten any free time. I had confronted Brianna and even begged her to let me know where Ariana had gone to and she refused to divulge such information claiming she could not betray Ariana's trust as a friend and it was so frustrating that no matter what I offered her, she would not budge. Well now, I didn't need her help anymore. As long as I knew she was in San Diego and she didn't move from there, it was going to be an easy ride from here onwards. I was stuck in my study worrying about what my next move would be when I heard a shrill scream. "Damien!" That was Aleena. I ignored it. I did not have the energy for her attention seeking drama. After a while, I heard my name again. "Damien!" That was my mom. I sat up. "Damien!" That was Amy. I stood up from my seat and briskl
Being His Wife Chapter One Hundred
Damien's POV; The hospital room fell quiet when I walked in. I had called Aleena's mother who lived in Palm springs and she arrived in LA the next morning. No one in the house had volunteered to look after Aleena so I just had to bring her mother here. "Hello Damien." I stared at her mother and inwardly cringed at the heavy makeup that covered her face. The extravagant outfit she had on proved how unfit she was for the task but Aleena's her daughter, she has to do the right thing. "Hello Mrs Berkeley." I said courteously. "Just call me Katrina." She said and I nodded. "Aleena. How are you feeling today?" She pursed her lips and sat up to look at me properly. "I'm better but I still feel a little pain here and there." She said. I nodded and dropped the bouquet of flowers Amy got for me to give her. "Thank you." She softly said and I nodded. "It's so sad that you two lost the baby." I heard her mother comment. We both simultaneously turned to her. "But," she continued. "I'm s

Ariana's POV; "Aleena Berkeley went on air to do what?" I said as Brianna broke some very disturbing news to me. "Careful there, Mico." I said as he bumped his head on the bedstead while following me out of the room. "Go on Brie." "It was crazy, I screamed!" She exclaimed with her usual melodramatic poses. Brianna truly was dubbed the queen of drama for a reason. She had FaceTimed me that morning as she usually did from time to time only for her to tell me that Aleena had a miscarriage and confessed to drugging Damien into sleeping with her. "But why would she ruin her reputation on air like that? She has to know the implication of such a confession." I reasoned. "She surely must have hit some good money to take such risk for her career." Brianna quipped. "Some good money huh?" I said thoughtfully. "Brianna, do you think Damien paid her to say those things?" "I won't put it past him, he's a wealthy man and you never know what these people can do to cover their tracks." She sa
Being His Wife Chapter One Hundred and two
Damien's POV; "I'm hopelessly in love with you, Ariana." I finally said it. But, I wasn't done with my confession. I continued speaking when I saw she was too stunned to utter a word. "I longed for adoring someone as sweet as you. I longed for a relationship, only like the one I have with you. I longed for a life where I will live with you when we are together in our home. Do dreams at any point work out as expected? Indeed, they do, because I discovered you and I love you, Ariana Delaney Kingston." I recited. I had my heart in my mouth as spoke. I was a nervous wreck. She narrowed her eyes at me. That was not the reaction I was expecting. "Brianna put you up to this, didn't she?" She wasn't asking, she was stating the fact. She caught me. Why's this woman so smart? "She wouldn't give me the address to this place until I rehearsed those lines perfectly. I just had to." I resignedly confessed. I was embarrassed at how silly I had become because I was in love with the woman in fro
Being His Wife Chapter One Hundred and three
Damien's POV; I was trying to get over Ariana's rejection. I had never been turned down by any woman in my entire life. I had never actually been in love with anyone before now. With Ariana, I was going through so many firsts. I wanted to go back to her, I wanted to speak to her. I couldn't give up just after one trial. But, something just kept holding me back. I couldn't place my finger on it but there was something that just kept telling me to stay put. The date and time on my phone told me otherwise. It was the thirtieth of the month. The nine month mark was here and our contract had officially come to an end. Our marriage had become the real deal now and the next three months were either going to make or break it. I couldn't sit still and watch the only woman I've ever loved slip out of my hands. No way. I quickly got on my feet and dressed up for the three-hour journey ahead of me. Getting downstairs, I saw mom coming towards me with a sullen look on her face. "Good morning
Being His Wife Chapter One Hundred and four
Damien's POV;I had never felt so broken on the inside. If this was how love was then I truly wished I never felt it. I wished Amy hadn't opened my eyes to realize that I was in love with this woman. It hurt even more that I knew she felt something for me but was not willing to fight for it. Was I not worth fighting for? Did I not deserve to be loved? Was this my punishment for being so cruel to all the women I had come across. I had broken so many hearts so nonchalantly because I didn't know what it felt like to be in such a situation. And now, the only woman that made me say that cursed L-word had my heart shattered to pieces. Lessons learnt. I was driving in the outskirts of LA and was somewhat absentminded because of how downtrodden I was feeling.I was speeding a little too much on a one-way road and I just wanted to slow down and take a bend when a speeding truck came at me. I swerved quickly to avoid a fatal collision. Then, I lost control when the car tumbled off the highway

Third Person's POV; Three years later... "Are you kidding?" Damien asked, putting down Damon who had jumped on him the moment he stepped into the house and refused to be set down until they had arrived to meet his mother in the master bedroom. "Carried you for nine months only for you to not just look exactly like your father but also be so attached to him." Ariana had muttered sourly when Damon wouldn't come to her nor Darian who was the more reserved kid. The twins turned out to have more of their father's genes than hers, from the eyes to hair color, down to the nose and almost everything they did was like Damien. She found it more unfair cause they were identical. Now this was what led to the matter at hand. "Irma..." He dragged out, tugging off his jacket before unbuttoning his shirt. "I'm not kidding. I found out today." She said, getting up from the bed as she flipped her hair to the back. "How come?" He was in a maze of shock. "How else do people get pregnant?" She sarc

Final chapter Damien's POV; It had been way over an hour. She squeezed my palm so tightly as she pushed, screaming her lungs out while at it. I just wanted to cry but I had to be strong for her. "I'm tired, I'm so tired." She sobbed, her voice had gone hoarse from all that screaming. She had hair glued to her forehead due to sweat. It broke my heart to see her like this but she still looked so effortlessly beautiful. "Come on babe, we can do this." I encouraged her. She was panting heavily. "You're crowning, you're almost there!" The nurse yelled. She pushed again with all her might, grunting deeply until we heard the first cry of a baby. I wanted to jump and pump my fist in the air until I remembered we still had another baby to think about. She laid down breathing heavily for a minute or so before she pushed hard again at the nurse's instruction and once again, we heard the cry of our second child. Our twins were finally here! I kissed her before joining the the family to c

Ariana's POV; "Twins?!" Damien looked like he was about to faint. He accompanied me for my doctor's appointment as usual and we just found out that we're expecting twins. I swallowed and blinked rapidly, trying to fight the overjoyed smile that was clawing on to my face. Someone wanted just one but his sperm had other plans. "Ariana, I only agreed to having one baby and now we're going to have two of them?! How?" He loosened a few buttons on his shirt. "I don't have twins in my family so this is definitely your fault." I shrugged, smiling at the doctor as he congratulated us. "Oh well, at least you wouldn't have to bother me for another baby in future." He shrugged. Well that's what he thought but time would tell if I was going to have more kids or not. Damien had been the sweetest though. He carried me like an egg just like everyone else back at the house. Gosh! They wouldn't let me lift a finger after we announced that we were expecting during one of our usual Sunday brunch
Being His Wife Chapter One Hundred and Forty eight
Weeks later... I stared down at the beautiful bare bodied woman laying under me that morning. There was something different about her. "Your body's changing." I said plainly, pulling out after I cummed inside her. "What are you talking about?" She asked with a frown. I shook my head. "Nothing at all, just go clean up." I got off her and dragged my pants so I could put them on. I picked up my phone and to do my little research on what I knew about women. She went into the bathroom and came out of the closet in one of my shirts that looked like a dress on her. I watched as she picked up her comb from the vanity and began styling her disheveled hair. "Ariana?" I called out to her. "Yeah babe?" She answered, turning to glance at me before staring back at herself in the mirror. "Are you pregnant?" The comb reflexively dropped from her hand, while she stayed stiff in front of the mirror. "What?" She asked trying to regain her composure. A bit too late, if you ask me. "I asked you

My head pounded as I strained my eyes open."Where am I?" I groaned out, staring at the unfamiliar room."Hello Mrs Kingston."My eyes bulged at the sight of the nurse."Hello." I managed to respond."The doctor's already on his way." She smiled a little too widely for my comfort so I just stared back at her for a few seconds before nodding slightly.The door soon came open. "Hello madam. How are you feeling?""I have a headache and I still feel a bit drowsy." I said. "You'll be fine in not time it's just one of the symptoms.""What symptoms?""Well I have news for you." He said, opening up and envelope containing a sheet of paper. "Congratulations, you're four weeks pregnant."I sat up abruptly. "What?!" I exclaimed, with my eyes almost popping out of their sockets as I grabbed the test result from him. I saw it for myself, it wasn't a prank.Oh shit! "Wow uhm, this is great news." I said, hiding how worried the news got me."Can I go home now?" I asked, looking around for my st

"Why's Zara so shy?" I asked while Kumar took pictures of me in front of the Royal Palace of Madrid. Damien and I were up early and out of the house to go get Kumar who was going to take us round the city. Our first stop was of course having breakfast at a nice spot before finding our way down to the Palace. "Well uh, she's been through a lot." He said, coming over to show me the photos. "Like what?" I asked, absentmindedly swiping the pictures."I'm not sure it's in my place to tell but Zara was born with a hole in her heart." He sighed, taking the phone from my hand.My hands flew to my mouth as a gasp eluded me."She's always so weak and she believes she's going to die soon so she just keeps to herself all the time. She doesn't even have friends." He said.It felt so bad for her."But the hole can be fixed via surgical procedures right?" "Yeah," he nodded before his eyes drooped.Why hasn't it been done? I wanted to ask but he beat me to it."But we can't afford it." "Oh." I u

"I'm sorry I didn't try hard enough to see you and your father even once. I just didn't have the means." Karla wept. I don't know how but my feet put me in front of her with my knees on the ground and I was soon locked in a warm embrace. "Ay tía!" I sobbed. (Oh auntie!) "Te amo. Siempre tengo." She said, rubbing on my hair. (I love you. I always have) "I'm sorry about the death of your father." I sobbed just a little more at the reminder. "Raj came into my life just before I lost your mother and he's been the best thing that ever happened to me." She stared at him lovingly. "You knew my mother?" I asked him, wiping her eyes. "Yes, though briefly, I know first-hand that she was a beautiful person, inside and out." He said. I smiled and turned back to Karla. "Do you have a picture of her?" I asked. "It's back at our house." She said. "When can I come visit?" I eagerly asked. "Anytime you want." "Babe?" I snapped my head towards Damien. "We'll join you for dinner tomorrow ev

Ariana's POV; "Oh no!" I palmed my forehead whilst shutting my eyes tightly. "Still can't find it?" He worriedly questioned.I shook my head in the negative. "I can't believe I forgot to pack it." I said more to myself than him."Shit babe! Why would you forget something so important?" He actually looked like he had seen a ghost. Was he that scared of us having babies? "I'm sorry, it's just, I-" I didn't know what else to say. "Tell me, you're safe please." He clasped his palms together in plea. I swallowed. I wasn't sure cause the contraceptives had been messing with my cycle ever since I started using them so I really hadn't been keeping track of it. But I couldn't tell him that, it would ruin our entire trip. So, I lied. "I'm safe, I promise." "You're sure?" He probed further and the guilty pang in my heart increased."Uh huh." I nodded. "You said you have something to show me?" I quickly changed the topic, reminding him of the reason why we were in Madrid. We ditched the

My legs shook underneath me and were going to give way if I wasn't careful enough. I blinked rapidly, inhaling and exhaling in quick successions. "You do know you guys aren't actually getting married again and just reaffirming your vows right?" That was the ever so realistic Brianna. "It just feels different. Very different from the first time. And worse still my dad isn't here with me." I finally let the dams flow. "Oh no baby. Group hug guys!" She hollered, calling for all ladies in the room asides the stylists. We were situated in one of the rooms in the West wing. For some reason Ma Rosa thought it was a bad omen for us to see each other before the ceremony. We were already married so what was the fuss? I asked, but everyone else agreed, boxing Damien and I into a tight corner. The week had been hectic and filled with work and we hadn't had time for each other. Putting us apart for the last two days was hell especially because we hadn't had any good deep action throughout th
