“ Well…….” Layla started but stopped suddenly.Damian's heart was racing so fast that someone ten steps away could hear it beating tremendously. He could hear his instincts cautioning him clearly to prepare his mind for the worst, from the way Layla was staring at him, he knew she was deeply hurt and it would take a whole lot of luck for her not to take a drastic decision that would hurt him.Layla was still awkwardly staring at him and since he could not couple up the uneasy feeling he was getting by her looks, he decided to break the silence.“ You can go ahead and punish me, I will accept anything at all, as long as it guarantees me your forgiveness,” Damian said in a pitiful tone. His current state looked sorry yet funny.However, Layla had a lot going through her mind. She couldn't place her finger on what exactly she was feeling, is it the thought that she was lied to, or betrayed, or that her marriage was built on pretense? She paced to and fro in their luxurious bedroom, ma
“ How did you get in here?” Kelvin, Damian’s best friend, asked Ava again.How and why his secretary let her in, he has no idea but one thing is for sure, she has a lot of explaining to do. But for now, he needs to get Jezebel out of his office.“Damian is not here, I think you should leave,” he added, not knowing the best way to put her away. It is in situations like this that he wishes Damain was close by, getting Ava out of his office wouldn't be difficult if only Damain was around. He's sure that this won't be the same kind of audacity she’d walk in here with if Damian was around.“ This is no good way to welcome an old friend, Kelvin,” Ava said coldly and offered herself a seat even before she was told to do so.“ I don't remember asking you to sit, now you get your silly ass off my chair and your stupid self out of my office this minute before I call security.” Kelvin threatened.Ava did not seem frightened by his words, instead, she looked even more comfortable.“ I won't ta
It was a warm and cozy evening. Kelvin was finding it difficult to understand the mess he had gotten himself into unknowingly. The most surprising part is the fact that he doesn't remember getting involved in anything that concerns Ava, so why the fuck is she after his life.His mind was clouded with so many thoughts, one amongst them was informing Damian about what was going on. But, what if things go south? It's best he keeps to Ava’s rule and gets to hear what it is she has to settle with him that warrants her threatening the peace and well-being of his loved ones. All dressed in a causal dark blue jean trouser and a black shirt, a pair of black canvas, and a black face cap to compliment his dress, Kelvin headed to his garage and drove in one of his cars. He was headed for Grand View Suites, the scheduled place where he was to meet up with the devil incarnate. He glanced at the Rolex watch on his wrist countless times and drove at high speed as if he was late for a big busin
It's been fourteen days since Layla and Damian shared the same space. This happens to be one of the most crucial moments for Damian, he felt so lost and alone, Kendra checked in most times and tried to keep him company but then, but he still did not feel better.Layla, on the other hand, tried her best to avoid Damian. She would not come down to have her meals nor would she come down to meet the doctor during her appointment days. Damian tried to stay strong but deep down, he missed his wife.It was a beautiful Saturday morning and he decided to take a bold step and talk to her. He was tired of acting strong, he missed his wife and right now he did not care if she wanted to see him or not.Damian knew Layla would not accept seeing him easily, so he opted to take her food to her by himself.Dressed in his ash sweat pants and a black sleeveless shirt to go with it, Damian made his way to the kitchen downstairs. He already asked the cook to prepare Layla’s favorite meal which was French
“ What’s wrong sugar, Dr Max did not tell me what?” Damian asked impatiently, different thoughts running through his mind. He could handle a lot now but definitely not negative news about his unborn child Indeed, Layla was good at keeping someone in suspense. “ I mean Dr. Max did not tell you that we are expecting twins, right?” she finally said, happiness all evident on her face. Damian could not express the feeling that overwhelmed him, he could not believe he was not only going to be a father of one but two. This is the best news he has ever received all his life. With teary eyes and short of words, he moved closer to Layla and hugged her tightly. “Thank you, sugar, indeed you are my biggest blessing, thank you for this special gift. I love you” He whispered to her ears. He was so overwhelmed with joy and all he wanted was to experience the warmth he usually felt whenever he was inside her, he wanted her so badly but didn’t how to go about it. He did not want to stress her
“ I'm sorry Miss but you can't go in there. Mr. Wilson is having a very important meeting” The maid called out as a silhouette walked past ignoring her completely with a straight face.Layla Jones was very upset about the news she heard this morning. Her stepmom had told her she was getting married to Damian Wilson in a few days and although Layla did not have a boyfriend she was not ready to get married at nineteen.Damian is the only son of her late dad’s friend Mr. Wilson. Layla has known Damian since she was a kid, Damian was older than her by six years and back then anytime Layla came around to play with Kendra, Damian’s sister, He usually hides in his room because of his body. Most kids in his school back then do call him “ fatty” Damian was a plus size back then and was always ashamed to associate with others but it all came to a halt when he traveled abroad to further his education. Damian came back looking like a hot celebrity and his physical features were like that of a mo
Layla's head was still lowered and her nails dug into her palm, in an attempt to stop her hands from trembling.Damian glared at her coldly and looked at his board members apologetically, they took the clue that the meeting has automatically come to an end because of Layla's disruptions, and one after the other, they troped out of the beautifully decorated and comfortable sitting room where the meeting was held.Some of the board members ignored Layla on their way out while others stared daggers at her and hissed, but none of them dared to pass a silly comment verbally to her because they all knew Damian, he was the youngest among them but the most feared, most importantly he was so unpredictable.The last to leave the room was his assistant, Amy, she was dressed seductively and swayed her waist trying her possible best to get Damian attention.Layla noticed Amy and felt ashamed on her behalf, “ why will a lady try to make herself noticeable by a man, he should be the one trying to ge
“ Go upstairs and pack your belongings, we don't have much time left,” Her stepmom said not sparing her daughter a glance.“What's going on Mom,” Layla asked with tear-filled eyes, she didn't know where they were going.“ My dear, our company, or better still your late father's company which will soon be yours in a couple of days is bankrupt and we tried to ask the Wilsons to help us again. Mr. Wilson agreed to help us out but gave a condition before his death that you marry his only son, Damian, at first the Wilson had no problem with this arrangement but Karen called me this afternoon to cancel the plans, I don't know why she said that but we do not have much time. Go get your things, we are leaving” Isabella replied, and Layla was lost but grateful that Damian had not told Isabella what transpired earlier today.“ If the company has been going through some challenges why didn't I know before now,” Layla askedIsabella walked close to her and held her hands “ Layla darling, You have
