Damian Anderson Chapter 40
Erica's POV "Come in" I heard him say after knocking on his door. I went in and our eyes met almost instantly but I was quick to shift my gaze. My heart was beating so fast as I walked closer to him and my brain went completely blank. "Please sit," he said. And I found myself unable to disagree with him, as I sat down while my eyes went around his office, but not his eyes, definitely not his eyes. "How are you Erica," he asked after some time had passed, as I could feel his eyes steadily on me. There was something about the way I felt around him, no matter how angry I might have been, immediately after I see him all my anger disappears. I always feel happy and safe whenever I am with him. "I'm fine, thank you," I said, still resisting the urge to look at him in his beautiful blue eyes. Those years we were apart, I use to think about him every time I see the color blue. I started fondling with my hands as I tried to neglect the urge of wanting him to wrap me in his big strong ha
Damian Anderson Chapter 41
Erica's POV It's been a week since we had that conversation at Damian's office and truthfully, it has been difficult working with him in the same office. I have thought of resigning to look for work elsewhere, but what if I don't get a good job as lucrative as this one. I do have many responsibilities on my shoulders. I can't afford to be in any financial crisis at the moment. But, I need to leave this office for my sanity's sake, the display of emotions between him and his soon-to-be wife is not helping my issue. I sighed as I inspect the proposed images of an estate on my screen, it is going to be a beautiful estate when it is finally constructed. It had its superstore, a pharmacy, a twenty-hour power supply, an emergency health center, swimming, a kids playground, a gym and so much more. It will be a perfect house for families who wants the best out of life and course, can also afford the bills. Just then, I saw Cassandra coming in with what I assume to be a lunch pack for Da
Damian Anderson Chapter 42
Erica The drive to the restaurant was short as the restaurant was only a few blocks away from my office. I sat in my car, wondering how I am going to have to put up an appearance of being okay to be a bridesmaid in my baby daddy's wedding. Who does that? I took a look at myself in the mirror and apply a few touch-ups to conceal my already sulky face. My eyes went to the gigantic building before me, I then came down from the car and walked into the restaurant which was enormously big and beautiful. I have always driven by but never really stopped to see what it looked like on the inside. But, from the first impression, you can tell it's a very expensive restaurant. As soon as I was in, I saw Cassandra waving with a big grin, I guess that's what brides do, stay happy and cheerful all the time. I walked to her suddenly, cautious of what I was wearing. Don't get me wrong, it was a beautiful dress, but you know that feeling when you walk into a place where everybody is wearing a bra

Erica's POV "You are getting late, you need to hurry up," I said to Alex, who seem to be moving at his own pace in getting ready for school. I had earlier decided to be the one taking him to school since I had extra time on my hands. I also asked his nanny to use this time for her leave, since she never really gets to go on leave due to my tight schedule and all. I'm his official babysitter, and the young man is making me scream too damn much. A lot has changed about him, I find out new things about him every single day. I am beginning to like this whole idea of being a bridesmaid. It gives me lots of time to stay with my son at home, it has allowed me to know him better. "Mum it's Friday, I need to look good, I don't want Kim to see me like some jerk," He said while coming out of his room in his blue jeans with a white superman T-shirt and a white and red Nike canvass. He sure looks like someone ready to party. "Kim, who's Kim?" I asked, realizing I am just hearing that name for
Damian Anderson Chapter 44
Erica's POV "What are you doing here" I found myself asking Damian, who looked far soaked in the alcohol he was drinking. His gaze feasted on my body as I got closer to him, and I could feel the heat rushing to my cheeks just by the way his eyes never left mine. "God you are drunk," I said and tried to take away the glass he was holding, but he held on tight to it. "You caused it, you said you don't want me anymore, do you know how long, I have been searching for you and praying you are safe where ever you were. I finally get to see you and you say you don't want me?"He said in his drunken state. I felt bad, knowing that what we both want is far beyond our reach. I want him but I wanted him to prove to me that he is not the same jerk that abandoned me for some reason I am yet to know about. "Where is Cassandra?" I asked as I looked around to see if there were other people in the penthouse with him, but I found no one. I was deliberately avoiding his gaze as it made me nervous a

Erica's POV "Mum you are late," said Alex, as I rush over to where he was seated with the other students. I rushed down after waking up thirty minutes past Alex's closing time, Damian was still sleeping when I left as I didn't want to wake him up. I more or less just sneaked out, I didn't know how I was going to face him after what happened between the both of us. "I'm so sorry M's Patrick," I said to the teacher who was still waiting for latecomer parents to come to pick up their wards. She just smiled at me while she sat back down with the remaining students whose facial expressions varies. "I'm sorry Alex, I was caught up with work in the office," I said, as I walked with him back to my car. I felt bad for totaling forgetting the fact that I was supposed to pick him up from school. I opened the car door and we both went inside. All this while, he was uncomfortably

Damian's POVI checked to see that the time is 8:01 pm, and she was nowhere in sight. I was getting nervous, I didn't plan on going to her house without her authorization.But what if she does not come? Just then, I heard the car pull up in the driveway. I tried to look as bossy as possible so she doesn't go all tough with me. But God I was glad she came, I had to change my decision of us meeting at the hotel. I wanted her to come to meet me at home, so I can tell her my side of the story. She walked into the sitting room, I stood up to face her, and God she was looking very beautiful in her body-fitted blue jeans and white chiffon ruffled top she had on, her hair styled into a bun.She looked ravishing."You look beautiful," I said, after some moment of awkward silence. It is amazing how I am still fond of her after all these years, I always feel complete whenever I am around her.If someone had told me back then in school before I met Erica, that I will be hooked up to one girl, i
Damian Anderson Chapter 47
Erica's POV "Kidnapped? What do you mean, they have been kidnapped? Who kidnapped my son?" I questioned frantically. "Erica you need to calm down, I'm sure he is fine, the person that has him wouldn't dare lay a finger on him, my men are already doing all they can to retrieve him," I said as I tried to calm her down, with the hope that, Marcel will not be able to hurt the little boy. Marcel is a Mafia Don who has been wanting me to get involved in their shady business, my dad had an understanding with them, and after he died, they felt I should return the same favor as did my father. But I turned them down and ever since, they have been looking for ways to make me bend to their rules. He is very violent and considered very dangerous. But how he knew that Erica had a son before I did, bothered me. This only means one thing, he is got a tag on me. They were so many questions going through my mind, I can't believe Erica has a son, she sure doesn't look like she has had a baby, excep

Two weeks later Erica's POV We came back from my father's funeral, and there were lots of guests in the house. The funeral reception was held at the beach. There were so many people trooping in and out of the compound. I was only familiar with a handful of them, most of them came through Damian. All his effort to keep private how rich he was, has been soiled. Every newspaper and magazine house has managed to uncover more companies that are privately owned by him. They are even recommending him for the presidency after his unbiased sentiment at Sophia and Cassandra's trial. He has recruited more security guards for me and Alex since I left the hospital. I told him I would like to go back to work after all things said and done. He is still thinking about it. "Hi, Erica or should I say, ma'am?" Frank said smiling while

Three months later Damian's POV "When will mum be coming home," Alex asked, as I got him ready for school. He is been asking after his mother and all my explanations to him have fallen on deaf ears. He is yet to get used to living with me alone. I am yet to get used to living alone. "Soon buddy," I said. Its been three months since Erica was poisoned by Sophia and her cohorts. It's been difficult going through every day uncertain of what my next call will be about. I tried to stay strong if for nobody, but for Alex, who has been constantly asking about when his mother will be coming back. That is a question I don't have an answer to, but hopeful that one day I will hold her in my hands again, and we would laugh and joke about all that we have been through. Those days may look like a fairy tal
Damian Anderson Chapter 54
Erica's POV I stood at my mirror staring at the white dress I had on, with my makeup lightly done, and my hair packed to one side. I was beautiful on the outside but was a total wretch on the inside. I had some point wishes at some point, I was the bride. I can't believe how my decision was about to change my life either for the better or the worst. My mind drifted to the first time I saw Damian in my room back in the university, we had a connection. I knew he was always going to be the one that made my heart mad or merry. I knew he was always going to be that fire that I will gladly be consumed in. I thought of how many troubles we have been together and the years we have spent apart. I can't believe this whole dumb idea came from me. I heard a car horn from outside my apartment as I worked to the window to go see who it was. The driver came down from the car and I recognized him as one of Damian's drivers. He was the same man that drove me t

Erica's POV With just two days to the wedding, I was starting to grow cold feet over the decisions I made weeks ago. I had gone home to drop Alex with my parents and decided to spend some time with them. Cassandra has been acting up and I seriously wish that she doesn't show up for the wedding, that she should stick with the original plan. It would break my heart to see Damian be separated from me again. "Hey pumpkin" dad called from where he was seated to get my attention. "Yes dad" I answered rolling my eyes. I wonder why he still calls me pumpkin, someone needs to tell him, I am a grown-ass woman now. "Have you seen this?" He asked pointing to the magazine he had been reading to me, I went closer to him to see what he was trying to show me. On getting there, I discovered it was the picture of Cassandra and Damian Photoshop together. I felt sad, Cassandra looked happy in the picture, what if she decides to go ahea

Erica POV It's been two weeks since I resumed at the head office, working here has been a lot of fun, and If anything, I did not see my happy ending coming so soon, especially not in those days I was struggling between school, and baby, and work. It was a tough road, but I'm glad I finally found my happiness. I sat in my new office, going through some documents that has been placed on my table. The head office is different from my previous office, this one was larger and well equipped. The environment is nice and very comfortable to work in. My office is on the ninth floor, and I have just a handful of others here with me. I was told the tenth floor is for the CEO only and that no one is allowed in unless, of course, he authorizes it. My office is spacious and beautiful. I have a fridge that has different drinks and snacks, a comfortable space where I can take a nap, and a beautiful view from outside my window. I also have access to an official car that would be given to me anyti

Cassandra's POV After the show, we sat down, counting our money backstage. the business has been very slow lately because people that come to the club these days hardly spend as they should. Big spenders do not come to locally owned clubs for their own safety sake, as there have been reports of extortion, robbing, and drugs being slipped into the customer's drink. So they rather go to big clubhouses, where they are assured of security and safety precautions. "What's up with you and Damian?" Sophia asked, after some time of watching me arrange my money. "Nothing much, he has found his girl and making plans to discard me soon," I said in a sad tone. "So after all these years, he still loves and wants her," Sophia said, a lot of envy is evidence in her tune. I have been friends with Sophia for close to five years now. We first met when she came as an escort with another Mafia Don that was killed by Gabriel. He then took possession of her and made her his whore. She told me of how

Erica's POV "So what is going to happen now?" I asked after a long time of silence. Cassandra was sitting close to me, while Damian stood at the far end of the sitting room. We have been deliberating on how to handle the marriage issue between Damian and Cassandra. The press has gotten wind of it, and it was slowly becoming the talk of the town. I just sat down there feeling bad and guilty, because I somehow feel this was my fault. I mean, if I had just accepted Damian the first time we met, all these troubles won't be happening. "I'm so sorry guys, I did not know how this got out so fast," Cassandra said, sounding genuinely sorry, from her tone of voice. "It's alright Cassandra," Damian said as he walks towards us. "I should be the one saying sorry, I should have just told him it was a rumor when he called me, I am so confused, this is why I hate bringing press into my personal life, they have a way of escalating things," Damian

Damian's POV "What is wrong with you? Are you trying to give my girl a heart attack?" I said, to Cassandra who started laughing hysterically. "You should see your face," Cassandra said referring to Erica, who seem lost in what was happening around her. "What's going on?" Erica asked still looking confused. "It was all a setup," I said looking at her puzzled face. "I don't understand," Erica said. "Well your baby daddy figured out, you were too proud to admit that you loved him so he used me to try to get to you," Cassandra said amidst laughter. Flashed back scenes.
