“ I want to know the truth. I need you to tell me the truth no matter how sad it will make me feel, all I need from you is your honesty.” Damian pleaded before asking her his question.Layla could feel guilt running through her, she knew she had lied to him earlier and thought he had found her out. However, she still played cool and assured him to go ask his question,“Okay, I will be honest, you can ask your question.”“ How do you feel about me?” Damian asked, caressing her hair.Layla didn't want to lie to him again, she had told a lie earlier and was not ready to tell another. “ I think I'm beginning to like you,” she admitted and facepalmed.Damian smiled. She looked so adorable and he was glad she felt something for him. It had only been few days since they both began this journey and he was glad he was already making headway.“Then I am happy. Since when did you start to like me?” He asked seriously, removing her hands that were covering her eyes. She still didn't find his gaz
“ You gave me your word, you promised not to get into my pants until I was ready,” Layla said and doubt was evident in her eyes. Damian's face was crooked with frustration as his eyes caught the sight of condoms on the bed.He began to sweat profusely as he managed to say,“Believe me, it's not what you think,” Damian said trying to sound as honest as possible, truly, he had no idea who was responsible for it.Layla was anguished. He told her not to lie to him but he lied to her. Not to think that she was feeling guilty earlier because she told a little lie about her not to open a part of her life she has been hiding for a long.“ We've been together all these while, so tell me, how were you able to put all these in order? So, you have been pretending all these while you just wanted to get into my pants!” she was upset and yelled, scattering the whole place including the flowers on the bed and condoms.The neatly laid bed and beautifully decorated flowers were a mess now. Damian was
“ You mean Kelvin?” Damian frowned and asked. His body was blocking the doorway so Paula knew the bedroom was off-limits for now.Paula nodded her head. Damian wasn't happy at all, this was supposed to be Layla's time and he was bent on giving her his full attention.He was upset because he didn't like intrusion and Kelvin knows better.“Tell him I'm busy and will see him in their hour, that is if he wants to wait.”“ Okay, I will do just that,” Paula said and turned to leave when Damian stopped her in her tracks.“ Paula, wait. Please, I would not like any form of disturbance. Don't come here for whatever reason,” he said politely but the mature lady deduced that it was a warning.He has a good point after all, why should he be disturbed on his honeymoon?“ Alright,” Paula said and took her leave.When he returned, Layka was upset, remembering what had transpired between her and Kelvin a few hours ago at the office, it would really break her heart if Damian chose to leave her for him
Kelvin sat straight for a moment without saying a word. He only stared at Damian like he was seeing a ghost, this got Damian confused and he said,“ I'm listening, tell me what is it about my wife?” Kelvin did not move or make a sound, he still stared at him carefully like he was searching for something that was missing.Damian was behind to get pissed. Kelvin's attitude was beginning to get annoying. “ Listen, I don't have time for your silly jokes. If you don't mind, I was busy with my wife before you came and would love to go back to what I was doing.” Damian said in an angry tone and was about to head upstairs before Kelvin’s voice stopped him in his tracks,“ Have you considered the relationship between Layla and Justin? Have you bothered to know why Justin is bent on being close to Layla, even if he has to work under you? We both know how much Justin hates your guts but he is ready to stoop so low and work under you, in your company! And it’s because of Layla. Have you bother
Kendra was the CEO of Wilson’s fashion house and her brother was not surprised that Kendra gave him such a huge amount to pay as his bill.Kendra on the other hand knew her brother had found her out but it still didn’t stop her from achieving her aim, besides, the company he was running was swimming in trillions while Wilson’s fashion house was just nearing billions, so of course, he can afford it that’s why she doubled the price.“ You don’t want Wilson’s fashion house to collapse, do you? These items are the best and you know that. Pay up, big bro.” She said and stretched her hands.Layla was curious about how much these items cost, she didn’t doubt Kendra because from mere looking one could tell that they were made of the best brand and fabric.Damian didn’t put up a fuss about it, how much was 7 million that he couldn’t spend on his beloved wife? He picked up his phone and made the transfer to Wilson’s fashion house account.“. Done,” Damian said as soon as he was debited.Kendra
Damian’s last words seemed to hit Justin like a dream and without much waste of time, he retorted,“You can’t do that Damian, you’ve always got what you wanted, why can’t I be friends with your sister anymore? I hurt her before and I am sorry about it, even Kendra has forgiven me, why can’t you do the same?!” Justin was furious because he had already set his plans in motion and now Damian is trying his best to sabotage it, no way! There’s no way he’s going to let that happen.“ Get out this minute before I call the police and place a restraining order against you,” Damian said coldly. He was not going to buy Justin’s lies, he knew Justin did not like Kendra so why was he being all nice to her, it was obvious that Justin would stop at nothing till he won their bet and get Layla to himself but not worry, Damian was equal to the task.Justin refused to move and from his facial expressions, he had no intention to do so. “ Get out!” Damian repeated. He was still sickened by what Justin
From Layla’s demeanor, Damian perceived her question wasn’t going to be good, but how could he refuse to hear her out?“ Ask for anything sugar, and it is all yours,” Damian said, assuring her.Layla took deep breaths. Her nervousness showed clearly on her face as she tried not to stammer,“ Is it possible that I remove my ring when I resume school?” She asked.Damian’s gaze dulled with dismay, they both had their marriage certificate but couldn’t shove it off to people's faces, the ring was the only thing that signified that she was married, and now she wanted to take it off.He didn’t want to show his anger. Damian softened his voice and asked calmly,“ Why sugar, are you ashamed to tell people that I am your husband?” The question Damian asked made Layla feel guilty and she wished she hadn’t asked in the first place.Her voice thinned but she was not able to hold his gaze, “ No love, I’m most honored. I just don’t want to attract unnecessary attention and this ring is very expe
As Damian and Layla descended the stairs, the maids bowed in greetings. Damian joined his hands with Layla’s as he took her around the house, starting from the poolside, the gym, the wine cabinet, and finally the massage room. Of all the places Damian showed her, the garden was the place that interested her the most.She sat there and watched another movie that Damian had downloaded for her on his phone till it was time for dinner.After eating, they retired to bed. This time around, Damian only kissed her on her cheeks and they both slept peacefully. The next day after breakfast, Damain took her to go and visit his mom who had just returned from her vacation. His mom's house was just a street away so they walked hand in hand and chatted along the way.It looked like two people in love. Making people envious, the security at his mom's house opened the gate as soon as they saw Damian.Kendra was sleeping when they arrived, she left Damian’s house earlier to spend time with her mom
