I was about to enter the office when I heard voices within. It seems like Damian was discussing about something serious with Grey so I decided to come back later.I was about to leave when something Grey said caught my attention. It seemed like they were discussing about me.I know it wasn’t right but I decided to eavesdrop on their conversation. “You are torturing someone who has been close to you for years all because of a woman you had just met.” I heard Grey say.Really, is that the reason why he has been acting strange towards me? That’s the reason Grey has been so cold for the past few days.He thinks I caused an enmity between Damian and his friend.“Roman touched something that’s mine. He needs to pay for his wrong doings.” Damian answered nonchalantly.How funny, he’s still referring to me as his property. I thought that after these few days, his view of me would have changed. I guess not. That really hurt me.I was about to leave but something in me pushed me to listen mor
I yawned tiredly as I stood up from the bed. I scratched my sleepy eyes before I stared at the other side of the bed.I noticed Damian wasn’t there but I didn’t mind. He might have woken up early today. I went straight to the bathroom.I picked my tooth brush and put some tooth paste on it, then I used it to brush my teeth. When I was done, I rinsed my mouth and face.I looked up to stare at my reflection on the mirror. I smiled when I saw that I’m really glowing lately. It wasn’t like before that I have to force a smile on my face while thinking about the misfortunes I have been passing through.I have decided to leave things as it is which my mind feel more at rest. Since the past two weeks after Damian and I made up, I’ve never fought with him. Besides petty quarrels in which he begs me later and I’ll forgive him.That’s how the cycle has been between us. I really commend him for his gentle man behavior. Like I said before, I decided to let things go so I asked Damian to release Ro
His eyes were filled with admiration when I fried the first set accurately.“See, it isn’t that hard like you make it seem.” I said as I placed it on a plate and gave him to taste.He smiled in admiration when he tasted it.“How’s it???” I asked.“Delicious. Where do you learn how to do it?” He asked.“The internet.” I answered.“Okay.” He said as her kept munching hungrily on the pancake, making me smile.“What made you just wake up and decide to cook even if you don’t know how to cook?” I asked as I flipped the pancake I was frying.“I wanted it to be an early morning surprise for you.” He answered. “Why??” I asked in surprise as I placed the fried pancake on a plate before turning off the cooker.“Don’t tell me you have forgotten.” He said.“Forgotten what??:” I asked in confusion.He gave me a ‘are you serious?’ look when he saw my confused expression.“Today’s your birthday.”My birthday??? How come I didn’t remember??“You seriously don’t recall today being your birthday?” Dami
I opened my eyes slowly and saw him swimming.“Aren’t you coming?” He asked.“Nah.. I’m good here.” I answered.“Just so you know, you’re missing a lot.” He said but I said noting and just watched him swim.“I planned this whole day for you but you’re just being a party pooper.” He said when he noticed I was being adamant about not swimming.“I can’t swim.” I said.“Don’t worry. I’m here to hold you from drowning.” He said.“But …..” “Don’t be scared. I won’t let you drown.” He said.I sighed in defeat before pulling off my clothes, leaving only my underwear on. I took slow steps into the lake until the water was above my stomach. I started to panic but luckily, Damian quickly led me on my waist.“See there’s nothing to worry about.” He said when he noticed that I was calm.“Yeah.” I muttered as I closed my eyes and enjoyed the feeling of the water splashing on my body.We were floating silently in the water until I heard Damian ask;“Would you like to go to Paris with me?” I quickl
TWO DAYS LATER“Are you bready yet?” I heard Damian ask.“Almost done.” I answered as I struggled with the suitcase.“Need any help?” Damian asked again as he walked into the room.“No” I answered but he ignored me and helped me carry my suitcase effortlessly downstairs.A guard standing outside quickly rushed towards Damian and collected the suitcase from him before putting it inside the car booth.“Is that all you need for the trip?” Damian asked as he turned to stare at me.“No, that’s all.” I answered.“Ok, let’s go then.” He said as he opened the car’s door and indicated for me to get in.I did and entered too, seating beside me. The car zoomed off immediately.****************************AT THE AIRPORTWe sat quietly at the lobby. Damian was busy doing whatever with his phone while I sat there in boredom before a male airport attendant came and said something to Grey.He nodded his head in understanding and the attendant left. He stood up and said;“He just said the Jet is read
That was a lot to take in. who would know that the fearless Damian Black had a really rough childhood. Despite losing both his parents at a very young age, he had to take over the family business.May be this was the story Felix was talking about. Maybe that was what made him become heartless or maybe it was something else.I started to get curious again when I remembered what Grey said the other day.“Do you have any other questions?” Damian asked, pulling me out of my thoughts.“Yes.” I answered without thinking.“Alright. Ask away.” He said.This is my chance right now.“Who’s Ana??” His body suddenly became tensed like he didn’t expect that question from. I too was surprised that I asked that question considering the fact that I had decided not to bother him about it because he seemed really angry the last time Grey mentioned her name.He seemed like he was in a trance for a while. Just like his facial was as if he was relieving bad memories he wanted to have buried forever.I di
Maybe that’s why Grey is so disapproving of me.“I managed to get back on my feet after their betrayal. That’s why I’m like this. I find it so hard to trust people, I detest women a lot and I became really brutal and heartless until I met you.” My heart almost skipped a beat when he said that.“You bring the best out of me Selina. Whenever I see you, I always forget about what happened to me.” He muttered as he closed his eyes and rested his head on my chest. “Damian.” I called.“ That’s why I can’t let you go because you are the antidote to my miserable life.” He whispered.His words almost brought tears to my face. He sounded so sincere that I couldn’t help but pity him.Ana must be so stupid to ever think of or betray him. I have just been with him for a month but I know that he’s always true to his words.He just said he loved he deeply and I’m sure he really did. She just wasn’t sincere enough to love him back. Plus from what he had just told me about her, she must be a gold dig
He leaned towards me like he wanted to whisper something. I stared at him in anticipation.“No comment.” He finally said with a smile.Really??? Is he seriously playing with me right now??“Just tell me because the curiosity is eat…….” My words were muffled when I felt his warm lips on mine.He pressed deeper before he finally let me go. “I said a was already taken by someone more worthy than she is.” He said.“Happy now?” He asked as he smiled, obviously amused of the way I looked like I was in a daze.“Uhm… Yes.” I muttered when I had finally been able to regain my composure.He nodded his head before he left me standing motionlessly like a statue.***************************Minutes later, he came out with a small towel wrapped around the lower part of his waist and his body was wet.“You can go wash up now.” I heard him say but I ignored him.I was busy praising him inwardly. He removed the towel that he was using to dry his hair, which made them fall down his neck, some of them c
