Erica's POV
Its been two weeks since I last saw Damian. since he left our room, I have not set my eyes on him, he more or less just disappeared.
I was still pained about the events of that unfortunate evening.
A part of me misses him, and the other hates him for been such a jerk. Sophia have also been missing in action, and the thought they might be together was even more disturbing.
I pretty much have the entire room to myself the entire weekend. I had called Jeffrey earlier on to call off whatever he thought we had. Couldn't keep up with the game, especially since the reason I was with him was to get Damian jealous.
I have been all by myself inside my room doing nothing. I mis
Damian's POV "Don't worry" I said trying to reassure her as i didnt wait to do anything that would hurt her or her pride,"I will wait till you are ready," I said and With that, I got off her while she stood up and shly went to the bathroom to clean up. I stood there wondering how to help myself cum, I can't even stroke myself because it takes time and I don't find pleasure in it. Immediately the shower started running, I joined her she gasped when she saw my full length. "You have to make me cum, please," I said as watch her eyes widen. I watched her go on her knees and take me in her tiny mouth, I could feel the blood pumping through my veins. she started by placing tiny kissing at the tip, and gradually she started taking me
Erica's POV I woke up at about 9:00 am, thank God a coursemate of mine had earlier called to inform me that my morning lecture had been canceled due to the lecturer's ill health. I just lay down there staring at my ceiling indecisive of my next line of action, the weekend had ended in a rush. I so much miss Damian, I miss his voice, his touch I miss everything about him. I wish we could have another getaway soon, too bad our exam is fast approaching. I came in late, last night. Damian had ordered for a cab to drop me off, he didn't want any unnecessary suspicions. We agreed on taking things slow, while on campus. I stretched my tiny body on the bed and yawned loudly, my stomach groaning for food. I stood and walk over to where I u
Damian's POV The class finally ended in what seemed like forever, I hurried off to see if I could meet up with Erica's class. I needed to resolve our little misunderstanding. I got there and found out that the class ended a while ago of which Erica was absent. That is very unusual, the little I know of her is that she would never miss her class for anything in the world. I had previously pleaded with her for us to spend extra days at the penthouse, she refused. Insisting on meeting up with her morning class which was later canceled. Why would she now want to miss the second class, I saw she was dressed for class before I left her room, as I contemplate on whether to call her or not.
Erica's POV Beatrice was still trying to process what I just told her about Sophia being the one that attempted my life. "I don't get it, did you guys fight?" She asked. "No" I replied. "So what happened?" "Sophia came back crying that her boyfriend cheated on her, so I went over to console her, but after some time I realized she was talking about Damian. I too became upset emotionally, can't tell if she noticed it too. Damian came in and she ran to meet him, after which I saw her whisper to Damian, he gave her two tablets, of which on inquiry were sleeping tablets, I confronted Damian and we got into a heated argument.
Damian's POV I didn't know I had slept off on the hospital chair I sat on, when I felt a hand tapping me on my shoulder, I woke up wiping my eyes from the sleep. It was Lucas, He looked at me and smiled "The famous Damian Anderson, college president and every girl crush, who would have thought that one day you will find this plastic chair so comfortable to sleep on" he teased still smiling. "How is she?" I asked. "she is good and awake, I am just coming from her private ward as requested by his excellency" he said prostrating jokily "Be serious" I said trying not to laugh at his silly joke. "why don't you go in and see her" he
Erica's POVI woke up feeling much better with just a minor headache to deal with. I sat on my bed and decided to go through my phone, I saw that Sophia had posted my picture on her F******k handle with a get well soonRommiecaption. The hypocrite! She must think I do not know what she did, the next picture was of her shopping or having fun of some sort. I have been thinking of how I was going to keep straight face whenever Sophia was around and pretend nothing happened. But being who I am, I can't hide my emotions. Beatrice came in with all smiles"How was your night?" She asked smiling and continued "I can see you are doing so much better"
Damian's POVAfter I left Erica ward at the clinic, I drove down to the female hostel and found out that Sophia was not there. I reached for my phone to call her to find out where she was."hello" I said"hello sweetheart" she answeredteasing, making me feel a bit irritated."Where are you?" I said, trying to let my annoyance show in my voice."I'm in your apartment" she answered, I quickly did a brain scan to check if by accident I have ever given her keys to my apartment. She is not suppose to have access.I have only recently changed all the keys to my apartment. But been that its Sophia I'm dealing with I can as well expect the unexpected.
Erica's POV "You are ready for discharge now, just ensure to eat, rest and take your medications," The doctor said after checking my reports on his tab. His voice suddenly reminded me he was still there. I blinked my eyes severally to enable me to concentrate on what he was saying, but thoughts of Damian kept flooding through my mind. Damian had suddenly evaporated into thin air. He didn't come back last night to check up on me, even when I tried calling him, I can't seem to get through to him on his line. "I have forwarded the medications she will need to the pharmacy section, you can pick it or once it's ready" The doctor said, never for once lifting his head from the tab he w
Epilogue Six months later Erica's POV "Do you Erica Williams take Damian Anderson as your lawfully wedded husband, to love and to hold, till death do you part?" the priest asked, directing his attention to me. "Yes, I do" I answered staring into the eyes of the man that I love and crave. "Do you Damian Anderson take Erica Williams as your lawfully wedded wife, to love and to hold till death do you part?" The priest asked Damian. "Yes I do" he answered, staring into my eyes as I watched his eyes water and a drop of tears slipped. "By the power vested in me
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
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. Night after Erica left Damian's house Damian's POV.
