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
“Okay. How about the Eiffel Tower on the Champ de Mars besides the Seine River?” I asked.“Wow. That’s so detailed.” He said with a small chuckle.“I googled it on my way here. They said it’s a very famous place tourists visit. Can we go there then?” I asked hopefully.“Yes. If that’s where you want to go to.” He answered.“Yes! Thank you.” I said happily.“But, there’s a catch.” Catch?? What is it this time???? “What do you want in return?” I asked.“I would like you to follow me for the business meeting.” HUH??????? Why would he demand such from me? What is he up to this time? “Why’s that?” I asked.“You see, I’m working on a collection of some female designs and my clients would like to see the designers of the clothes.” He said. “Okay, so how does that concern me? I don’t remember designing any outfit for you.” I said as I munched slowly on my food.“Have you forgotten about the designs you submitted at my company when we were in search of new fashion designers, right befor
I smiled as I and Damian walked hand in hand around the beautiful streets of Paris. We were on our way back from the Eiffel Tower. I remembered the meeting of this morning and smiled happily.I felt really happy today, not only because Damian had helped me make my dream come true but also because I got to spend this vacation with him.I was really hungry so we stopped in a small restaurant to eat a quick lunch. We sat down close to the window and ordered spaghetti which was served in no time.I picked up my forks and started eating. I paused when I noticed Damian wasn’t eating but rather, he was watching me.“What’s wrong? Is there something on my face?” I asked as I touched my face.“Yes.” He answered.“Really? Where’s it?” I asked when I couldn’t find whatever he was talking about.“It is all over your face.” He answered.I started to panic. What could it be? “What is it?” I asked.“Your beauty.” My eyes gleamed when he mentioned that.No way. I could feel heat slowly creeping to m
I crawled weakly towards Damian, ignoring the shards of broken glass that were cutting my knees and wrapped my hands around him shakily.I cried like I have never done before as I tightened my arms around me while he returned the hug too.“He is finally dead. We did it.” I whispered as more tears kept on flowing down my face like a waterfall.“You did it.” Damian muttered as he buried his head on the crook of my neck.I cried harder as I held him closer. That was a really close call. I suddenly heard footsteps sounding out side so I picked up a pistol.I was about to shoot at whomever it was that would enter the living room when I saw Felix trooping in carefully with some boys behind him.He is still alive??“Fuck!!!” Felix cussed out when he saw Mark and Grey’s dead body.He still hasn’t noticed our presence because we were at a dark corner.“Make sure they are all dead. None of them can leave here alive.” Felix ordered.“Yes boss.” The men said as they began checking all the bodies.
“Selina.” I heard and looked over to see Damian sprawled on the floor.His face and body was filled with blood. He looked like he had been attacked.“Damian!!” I called out in fear and was about to run towards him when someone suddenly grabbed me.“Going somewhere??” My teary eyes widened when I saw those familiar blue eyes staring down at me. No way. No fucking way!!!Mark??? He found us!! Conniption gripped me and I tried to break away from his hold but my attempts were futile. I finally had an idea but I didn’t know if it would work.I managed to release one of my hands and attempted to hit him but as expected, he easily caught it. He held it and smirked at me.“What are you trying to do?? Hit me??” He asked as he laughed while his minions joined him too.He was finally distracted. I took that chance and kicked him very hard where the sun doesn’t shine. He released me immediately and landed on the floor with as a painful grunt escaped his lips.“Boss!!” His minions called as the
“I should use you as a scape goat to anyone that tries to cross me. Be it friend or foe. They always die miserably.” Damian said as he finally released the last bullet on his forehead.The door was suddenly barged open, revealing Mark who had a blood splattered on his face and body.“Finally..” He said as he faced Damian.“I finally get to meet the one person I have been waiting for, for three years now. Did you miss me? Because I know I did.” Mark said with a smirk playing on his lips.“You bet. I have been dreaming about thus day since I found out you were still alive. I want to take in the joy and satisfaction I would get by ending you myself.” Damian said.“I see. That is only if you would be able to kill me yourself.” Mark said.“Why? You think I’m still like the same person I was three years ago?? You think I wouldn’t hesitate to kill you just because you were my friend??” Damian asked as he brought out a pistol from his back pocket and pointed it at Mark.This action made Mark
“Just do a you were told and take care of the body.” Damian said.Suddenly, we heard car engines revving outside. Is someone here?? “Are you expecting some one??” Felix asked Damian.“This is a safe house. Who will I be expecting??” Damian asked back.“How was Ana able to find this place if it was a safe house??” Felix asked back.“Your nemesis has finally caught up with you.” Grey said as he smirked at Damian.What is he seriously talking about?? The way he is acting is starting to scare me.I shrieked in fear when I suddenly heard gunshots outside and people screaming in fear. It seems like Damian’s guards and the intruders were exchanging bullets.“We need to leave now. There are intruders here.” Felix said as he peeped through an open space in the window.“You all can’t leave here….. alive.” Grey muttered.“What are you talking about??” Damian asked Grey.“Who else would be bold enough to barge into this place, that you think would be safe to hide you and your lover??” Grey asked
He had followed us to the safe house.“We will just stay here till the problem at hand is no more.” Damian said.“Okay.” I agreed.Anywhere is better than staying in that hospital.We walked in. I was about to go into any room I could find when I noticed something, rather someone in the living room.It was a woman and she had her back turned towards us.“Who’s that?” I asked and everyone’s attention turned towards her.She finally noticed our presence and turned to face us. My jaw dropped when I saw her. She was by far the most beautiful woman I have ever set my eyes upon.She smiled when she saw us.“Damian.” She called as she batted her long lashes seductively.I could feel Damian’s reaction was that of shock. Who is she and how does she know him, or this place.“Ana.” Damian finally uttered.She is Ana?????The Ana that betrayed him and planned to kill him?? It felt so unreal. The same lady I was praising for her angelic beauty turns out to be a crazy wench.People say you can’t ju
FOUR DAYS LATERI sat down tiredly and watched as the doctor did another test on Felix per his and Damian’s request. For the past four days, this had been their routine.They have been requesting the doctor for countless tests to be undergone on Felix before they would discharge him.According to them, they didn’t want any complications later. The doctor was obviously tired of their disturbance because of his sluggish movements and the very obvious dark circles underneath his eyes.I bet he hasn’t been having enough sleep because of the way they have been disturbing him but couldn’t complain because Damian would have his tongue, literally.I’m already exhausted too. for almost two weeks, I have been sleeping on this hard couch. My back and butt hurt a lot.I haven’t even been able to sleep on most occasions. I’m pretty sure dark circles would have appeared on my eye lids too.I just wish I could go back to the mansion right now, take a warm bath in the tub and have a very deep sleep.
Felix wanted to say something but one look from Damian was enough to shut him off. Felix scoffed angrily but didn’t say anything anymore.Okay, things are finally getting heated. I wonder why Damian is so sure of Grey. You can never know when someone close to you decides to turn their back on you. Though it hurts, but it always happens.The air in the rom had finally turned sour as the two men wouldn’t stop giving each other dreadful looks. I decided not to butt into their affairs. They are old enough to sort things out themselves.I rested tiredly on the headrest and was about to close my tired eyes when something caught my attention.It was Grey. He was leaning on the room’s door, he had been eavesdropping on our conversation. he had a malicious smirk on before he stopped eavesdropping and leaned away from the door.He knocked a few times on the door before entering the room. His eyes widened in shock and happiness when he saw Felix.“You are finally awake Felix. I was a afraid you
“Can you please excuse us Selina? I and Damian need to discuss about something really important.” Felix suddenly asked as he turned to stare at me.“Uhm okay.” I said and was about to leave when Damian held me back.“We can just discuss while she is here.” Damian said as he pulled me in.Felix looked at us in confusion. When he saw that Damian didn’t seem to change his mind soon, he gave up.“Alright.” He said in surrender. I sighed and reluctantly sat down on the couch opposite them.“What do you need to discuss?” Damian asked as he walked closer to Felix.Felix looked over at me first. It seemed like he was hesitating whether to say whatever he wanted to say in front of me.Damian noticed his stares and said;“Don’t worry. Just talk.” Felix finally gave up.“It is about my accident.” He started.“What is wrong? You know who is behind it?” Damian asked eagerly.“Yes, and you do to.” Felix answered.“Who is it?” Damian asked. But it seemed like he already knew who it was.“It is Mar
ONE WEEK LATERI watched as Damian sat close to Felix and watched him in his unconscious state like it was the most important in the world right now.It has been a whole week now and Felix still have not regained consciousness. We didn’t go to the mansion during those days.We have been staying, eating, bathing and sleeping in the hospital. Some guards usually went to the mansion to bring our clothes and food for us because I didn’t enjoy eating the hospital food.Well, I would have liked to go home for a fresh and warm bath in a tub but Damian didn’t agree even though I assured him that it wouldn’t take long.He said that it was dangerous for me to leave his sight. Maybe it was because of the bomb that went off in that hotel or because of Felix’s accident.Lately, Damian has become really overprotective and wouldn’t let me go out unless I’m was going with him or Grey. Though the privacy invasion was really unbearable, I didn’t argue with him because I know he meant well.I just hoped
