Damian woke up a bit early the next morning, Layla was still fast asleep. He called the room service to make an order. “ I want to speak to chef Philip”

In a few minutes, a different but familiar voice spoke on the line, “ Chef Philip on the line”

“ I need a basket of eggs, salad, bacon, baked beans, and pancakes. Instead of coffee, I want freshly squeezed orange juice and something that relieves menstrual pain”. Damian said.

“ I can blend natural herbs with tea.” Chef Philip recommended and Damian agreed to it instantly, he knew about it because his mom used to give it to Kendra his sister anytime she complained of cramps seriously.

“ I know, but make sure it’s very bitter,” Damian ordered but his tone was rather low, he don’t want to wake his newly wedded bride up.

“ Mr. Wilson, women prefer sour-tasting food and a few sweet and salty foods in their period” The chef protested.

“ This one likes bitter stuff. Please make it quick, I don’t want my wife to wake up hungry”

    Layla was wise enough to know that the more she tried to defend her lies, the more entangled she became. “ Am sorry, I am not ready for sex so I lied”. She knew there was no way around it this time, it’s better she apologized.Her voice was low but Damian heard her. In a way, he was happy that she confessed but also, he was being at odds. His hands loosened around her waist but he didn’t remove it. “ Not ready or are you keeping yourself for someone else?” He asked with a bit of annoyance.With her body pressed against his, she felt awkward especially when he asked her that question. Though his hold wasn’t tight, it was scary how the young man saw through her like a transparent glass. She made a mental note not to lie to him anymore, she would just be found out.“ I already told you the answer, I am not ready for sex, I need time to adjust,” Damian thought he was prepared for this but somehow he felt his heart acting strangely. He couldn’t say that he loved her yet, but why did it h

    Debra Cruz was the last person Layla wanted to see on her honeymoon, though she didn’t want it. At first, she was happy that the resort was exclusive to them but not anymore. Debra was the most popular girl in her college and had guys drooling over her. She was so hurt that she could turn a gay-straight but Debra hated Layla for reasons unknown to anyone but never escaped any opportunity to humiliate her.In college, Layla was safe because Ava was there but now, she was all alone and refused to speak let alone lift her head.As Debra drew closer while looking down at her with her head bowed, she asked in a mocking tone,“ I never saw a dumb statue that looked like a human being, and what are you doing here anyway?” “ Let me guess, you got a summer job as a cleaner or perhaps, a waitress or dishwasher to help out with your irresponsible parents” Debra nodded her head with pride. To her, those suggestions felt like the only probability of Layla being in an expensive place like this.

    Damian had sensed the tension between Layla and Debra earlier and he wanted to know, “What was that about?” he asked immediately they called into the elevator and the door was shut. Layla could not tell him that Debra was one of the people who took delight in bullying her in school, and she knows better than to lie to him so she kept mute.“ You know I will still find out even if you don’t tell me right?”“ Fine,” Layla agreed. He could find out by himself but she wasn’t going to tell him. Damian found Layla’s response strange and wished she could just tell him and save him the stress of investigating.“ I thought you would be nice enough to give me full detail about what happened after using me out there,” Damian said in a slightly disappointed tone.Layla wanted to nag, how could he pin it all on her as if he didn’t enjoy it? Lifting her head and seeing that he was really disappointed, she felt guilty.“ I’m sorry,” she said in a remorseful tone. Damian laughed, he was just teasin

    “ I thought they were just windows,” Layla said in astonishment. She was overwhelmed by the surprise Damian had prepared for her also, she realized that the room was far bigger than she thought and things weren't as they seemed.When Damian said he had a surprise for her and it was beyond her imagination, he was bent on blowing her mind away. And it seems like he just succeeded in doing so.“ Yeah, I wanted you to think they were just windows, and it worked,” Damian said with a wide smile. His dad made the right choice for him, he thought and beckoned the young man dressed in a suit, a little away from the candle-lit dinner. Red lights brightened above the table filled with different dishes. The table was decorated with candles positioned at strategic places and immediately, four young men began to play the violin. The effect was mind-blowing. Layla looked on dreamily till she heard the familiar deep voice which made the smile on her face broad, “ Shall we?”Damian asked Layla to dan

    Layla opened her drowsy eyes to the mesmerizing sight of the horizon. Sleep disappeared from her eyes as she witnessed the beautiful and amazing blend of colors in the sky with the raising of the sun.Her eyes even widened more as she felt the sky close to her. She forced herself not to blink, not wanting to miss out on something very important.It was during this golden moment that she realized that a strong masculine arm was wrapped around her and she was wearing clothes she didn’t remember putting in by herself.“It’s beautiful, isn’t it?” Damian asked in his deep alluring voice. Layla turned to look at him and he could tell from her expression that she was mesmerized by everything. Also, she was seated at the beach and there were a few people around too.“ It’s enchanting and I love it,” Layla responded, while smiling and taking the glass of champagne he offered her. Damian smiled. He was glad she liked it, if she didn’t like it then all his efforts were in vain.“ Do you wan

    “ You pervert!!” Layla said. She was filled with rage and her face was changing from different shades of pink to red.Damian inched closer to her and attempted to remove his clothes, still smiling. “Don't you think that word is too much for someone who was flirting with me last night?” Damian said with a mischievous smile this time around. “ wait…” Layla said as Damina tried to move closer to her, but he didn't seem like he was ready to do as she said, rather, he walked towards her and placed a kiss on her forehead gently sending sparks down her body.Damian noticed the shock on her face but it didn't stop him from stripping his clothes off his body in her presence. Layla was awed, she did not have any clue that Damian was adequately built and looked this sexy. suddenly she began to feel hot inside her and a wave of sensational pleasure shoved all through her body even without him touching her.She quickly closed her eyes to get good of herself while Damain walked straight to the s

    “ Thanks for responding to my request positively. I want us to have this conversation somewhere private.” Debra said as soon as Damian walked into the elevator.Anger found its way through Damian's heart but he tried his best to hold it. “ Why would I want to hold a conversation with you privately? If there is anything you have to say, speak now and it better be something reasonable otherwise you'd pay dearly for wasting my time.” He responded, his voice sounding cold and annoyed.Debra looked disappointed, She thought she already had Damian wrapped in her charms at the table, or maybe he was just playing hard to get. “ There's no need to pretend, she's not here,” Debra said, as she walked over to him.Damian was upset, after the efforts he put in to have Layla marry him why would he look at another woman? Not even the most beautiful girl in the works will ever have his attention, his eyes have value for only one woman, and that person is Layla. “ I'm here because I want to find ou

It would break her, he was going to tell her but this was not the right time to do so.Debra could not hide her excitement the time they approached Damian’s luxury suite. Everything exuded class and she was already imagining herself naked on the bed with Damian pounding her hard.“ So, now we are here. You said you wanted to show me what Layla can never give to me in bed, I am ready Mrs. Blake.” Damian said, trying to flirt with her and make her very comfortable before striking.“ Yes. And please enough with the pleasantries, call me Debra or… no, sexy Debby will do,” she said shamelessly, trying to touch Damian in a sensitive place.“ Hu

Damian sighed and said, “God-mother, first I don’t want you to think that I am trying to cut you or your son off. You have been nothing but a great mom and aunt to me, but the truth is that your son, who is supposed to be like a brother to me has always been envious of me.” He paused. “That’s right.” Kendra chipped in and her mom gave her a warning look, she quickly muttered “I’m sorry” and Damian continued. “I don’t know if you have ever noticed but Justin always wanted everything I have, down to my woman.

    Never for once did Justin ever think that Ava would point a trigger at him let alone pull it. It all happened so fast but thankfully, the cops came in almost immediately but Justin passed out already.Damian on the other hand could not contain his joy when Layla landed safely on the foam that was spread out for her.“don’t worry love, you are safe now.” He whispered in her ears as he pulled her into his arms. Layla on the other hand was already exhausted from constant crying and torture and pleaded with Damian to help save Justin.“I can't believe you’d plead on his behalf, after everything he put you through,” Damian said, slightly annoyed as they stood aside and watched the cops guide Paula into a black van from the car she was in earlier.“Layla was too exhausted to speak but since she had jumped down before Ava shot him, she was still oblivious to the fact that he was shot.

The next thing they heard was Ava’s voice, she barged into the room, filled with rage but somehow felt a bit relaxed when she saw Layla still in the same position she had left her, “What happened downstairs Justin, did someone break into the house?” she asked, but this time, her voice was a little bit relaxed. Pretending not to know what she was talking about, Justin replied, looking as though he was just as confused as her, ‘What are you talking about, what is going on where?” Frustrated, Ava said, “Help me untie her.” Both Justin and Layla looked surprised.

    “ I am sure you are not deaf, I said WHO THE F**K ARE YOU?” Kelvin yelled for the second time but that did not make Paula respond to him either.Damian was still trying to process the whole situation in his mind. Or, was he just assuming? No, Paula watched him grow and she has always treated him like her own son, and he in return, cared for her like his mom. Trust was an understatement to what Damian has for Paula.“Nanny P, that’s what I used to call you remember? I called you by that name because If truly you are the woman who looked after me since I was born till this stage, I want you to look at this boy whom you raised all by yourself and tell me what the f**k is going on here?” Damian said with a cracky voice and Kelvin felt so sorry for him.

Paula has begged him severally to at least drink something but Damian refused and even threatened to take her job away from her if she disturbs him again so Paula gave up.Paula headed back to the sitting room where Kelvin was waiting for Damian, “Kelvin, I’m sorry but he won’t see you and might not be coming downstairs either. Maybe you can check up on him tomorrow, or some other time.” Paula said, dismissing Kelvin. But the fellow refused to leave,“ it’s alright then, I will wait. Besides, it's not like I have anything to do at the moment. If it is going to take Damian a whole week before he comes down here to have a word with me, fine, I will wait.” Kelvin said and made himself more comfortable on t

Shocked right?” he paused, noticing the amusement on Damian’s face.“I felt the same way when I heard the news from her too, man this girl knows so much and I do not know who is feeding her with all of th
