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
Throughout the ride back to the hotel, Damian looked really tensed, like he had seen a ghost. I had the urge to say something, ask him questions but he looked agitated so I decided to hold back whatever I want to ask him.We got to the hotel with the guards following behind us. What is going on?? We walked straight to the elevator and entered alone. The guards entered another one.“What’s wrong Damian?” I asked when I could hold myself anymore.“I’ll explain later.” He answered gruffly.I decided not to push him to answer if he doesn’t want to. I can always ask him again later, when he has cooled down.The elevator made a ding sound, indicating we had gotten to the penthouse. We got out of the elevator and walked towards the door. Damian opened it with his key card and we walked in.I was surprised when I met Grey seated on a sofa. When did he get here??“Boss…” He called out and stood up as soon as he saw Damian.“Wait here Selina.” Damian said and left for the balcony with Grey,Wha
When Damian and Grey had left for the balcony to have a conversation, I sat down on the bed and waited patiently for him to be through with his conversation because I still had some questions for him.I had the urge to go eavesdrop on what they were talking about but I held myself back because I knew it was really rude to do so and Damian would be upset with me. He is already angry enough as it is.After waiting for some minutes, my butt started to feel stiff so I stood up. I decided to change my outfit because it had started to make me feel really uncomfortable so I walked to the wardrobe.I opened it and was about to pick out an outfit when something glowing, hidden between our clothes caught my eyes. I became curious about what it was so I adjusted the clothes that were blocking it from my view.It was a device strapped with a tape to the wall. There was something like a watch on the screen and it made a beeping sound anytime it was counting down. Wait… it was counting down.My eye
“Where are we going?” I asked but my question was met with silence.The car finally stopped in front of a hospital and Damian walked out of the car in a hurry. What’s going on?? I didn’t waste time and followed closely behind him.He entered into the VIP ward and walked into a room. I gasped in shock when I found out who he rushed to meet.I saw Felix lying motionlessly on the bed with bandages covering most of his body. He had an oxygen tank connected to his face. It seemed like he was taking his last breath because his breath was very shallow. What happened to him??The door to the room opened and the doctor treating Felix walked in.“Are you Damian Black, the patient’s guardian?” He asked and Damian nodded.“What happened to him?” Damian asked.“He was involved in a car accident. His car crashed head on with a truck. Luckily, he was rushed quickly to the hospital by passers-by that were around at the time. we have performed surgery on him already and it was a success.” The doctor s
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
“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
