View MoreIrene's POV.
The rays from the sun projected directly to my face. I frowned lightly and yawned loudly but a banging headache and a bit of soreness from my other half awakened my consciousness. I rubbed my eyes and noticed the unfamiliar room I was in.
Immediately, I sat up and my bare body became obvious to me. I quickly grabbed the duvet and wrapped myself in it and memories from last night flashed through my banging head.
A month after I moved out of my father's mansion and my childhood home to my mother's penthouse, (which was a gift from my dad to her before her death) I finally honored my father's long invitation. The last time I saw him was the day he willed the company to Cole, my half brother.
Since that day, I never had anything to do with my father or his business. I was humiliated in front of the entire company staff by Annabel, my father's mistress. “make it quick dad” I said sitting at the bench in the garden directly opposite him.
My father took a deep breath and explained the purpose of our meeting.
"Irene, I am in a deep mess. Annabel and Cole left. I was surprised at their actions, but after receiving multiple emails from investors and board members, I found out the actual reason they left". My dad's voice was cracking and I suspected he was holding back his tears.
I felt sincere pity for him, I went to sit next to him and held his hand assuring him I was with him. "Annabel left nothing in the company's account. Not a cent or a penny. She signed new contacts with our investors and bridged several contracts. Currently Irene, sheet and zincs LTD, is in debt! I am afraid we have gone bankrupt with multiple lawsuits. Irene I have ruined my life”
I watched my dad break down in tears as I tried to recollect everything he had said. “Bankrupt?" I asked myself surprised. I never expected a multi Million dollar company to break down in three weeks and six days. My whole body went Cold at the thought.
“Help me Irene. You are my last hope. I am really sorry for everything, Annabel was going to ruin your life if I didn't want to lose you or my company's reputation” he wiped his tears and held my hands as he made me promise to help him.
I stared at my dad with pity. After his surgery, he was placed on bed rest for at least six months seeing him break down in front of me,it purged all the grudges I had against him for 3 weeks. “I don't know what to do Dad,” I whispered softly, but he assured me that I could help him.
I left immediately. Betty , dad's nurse, put him to bed. I searched for several contacts I thought could help me out and fixed a meeting with them. At dawn, seven of them declined to meet me and only two accepted the meeting. I cleared my schedule for the day and got ready for the first meeting with Mr Felix Gallardo at 12pm.
After explaining everything to Mr Felix, he plainly refused with the excuse “my company is looking for financially stable companies to invest in. We are in a sensitive position right now and we need all the profits we can get”. I simply nodded and politely walked out.
I tried to be optimistic and hoped my next meeting at 3pm will be fruitful. My hopes were really high because Akmed was my father's personal assistant for twenty years before he decided to set up his company. The company in which my dad was the highest shareholder.
After the meeting with Akmed, my emotions kicked in and I broke down in my car. It was another disappointing meeting. Akmed insisted that associating with my father's company was unhealthy for his company.
I cried In frustration and banged my steering wheel really hard. I ignored Madison's constant texts and calls and placed my phone in flight mode. I drove out of the city and held back from yelling. I settled in at a bar at 6:56pm and ordered hard vodka.
Shots after shots I noticed how weak my knees had become. “It's time to go home" I whispered to myself. I walked out to my car and I felt really dizzy, “hotel" I nodded to my faint idea. I bashed my car twice before I located a nearby hotel.
I took my room card and walked to the elevator almost tripping over. “Room 690" I muttered while walking through the hotel walkway. “Gotta ya” I smiled and hiccupped at the same time. I held the door knob to my surprise when it opened. I jumped on the bed and I was totally uncomfortable.
I took off my clothes and dashed to the washroom to freshen up. My weak knees and dizziness could barely hold up. I got out wrapped in a towel to meet a handsome man staring at my clothes. His hair and broad shoulders made me drool, he turned and our eyes made contact.
It was the most beautiful eyes I have seen in my life. I walked to meet him and I missed my steps. I saw his eyes fixed all over my body and I noticed my towel had dropped. “What are you doing here?" I heard his voice. It was smooth and sweet. I blushed and walked to touch his face.
I felt his hands on my bare waist and it sent different sweet signals to my head. I let out a small moan and wrapped my hands around his neck and kissed him. It was soft and cold. I loved how they felt and I recklessly lost control. He kissed me slowly and I clinged around his loins.
I took off his shirt and explored his bare chest with my hands. His breath on my neck turned me on more than I expected. He kissed my neck, down to my boobs before he fondled my breasts. My moaning became so loud and I demanded for more. He understood what I needed and he laid me on the bed.
His hands played with my other member while his mouth sucked on my breasts. I bit my lips in pleasure and held his head on my chest. He took off his pants and parted my legs properly before thrusting in slowly.
I hissed in pleasure and it pleased him. He slammed in and it felt like heaven. I enjoyed every bit of his stroke and I wrapped my legs around his waist giving him room to go deeper. I heard him moan and it was the most romantic scene ever.We went on different rounds before I dozed off.
I heard footsteps from the balcony and I adjusted with a banging headache. I felt the urge to see the handsome man again and set things right. “Good morning" I whispered immediately as he walked in all dressed. He smirked and threw two bundles of dollar bills at me and tried walking out before I stopped him.
“Excuse me. What is the meaning of this?" I asked picking up the towel beside me. I wrapped it on my body and stood up. He stared at me with a smirk and adjusted his watch. “That's 200,000$ three times the initial pay. That's for giving me a show last night".
His words felt like rock science to me as I couldn't understand all he said. “Quit the pretense!" He sounded like he was scolding me. I tried to mutter words but my tongue was stiff. “You obviously came to my room for this" he said pointing at the dollar bills on the bed.
“What? Your room? This is my room. I should be asking you why and what you are doing here!” I protested, irritated by his haustiness. He hissed and threw a card at me. “This is my room miss! That's my room card 690. At first I thought you were just a slut, now I am convinced you are also a pathetic liar and a poor actress".
His words sent me flying around in confusion. “Slut?" I asked but he walked out on me. Immediately I searched for my clothes and I found them neatly folded beside the bed alongside my purse. I grabbed my purse and found my room card. It was written 960. I hissed and banged my hand on the shelf.
In regrets, I freshened up and found a pill on the table with a note attached “you can't pull a scandal. Don't even try". I could not imagine how lowly this man could have thought I was. I swallowed the pill alongside my shame and it was the heaviest that has passed my throat.
After spending half an hour causing,blaming myself and wallowing in shame, I picked up my phone and I met so many texts and voicemails from Madison. I sent her my location. An hour later, Madison walked in with breakfast. Her heart broke immediately she saw me in tears.
“I failed dad and I made a fool of myself" I said sobbing in her arms. I narrated everything to Madison and she couldn't help but curse at the man. "You need to stop crying now. You still have a company to save” she said, helping me fix my hair.
"I will prepare a list of potential investors in this city and outside this country, hopefully this time it will work” she assured. I felt relieved and changed into my clothes before returning to my penthouse.
Two years later: Two years later and I still couldn’t stop gushing over my woman. Irene was perfect in her wedding dress. I stood at the altar with Raymond behind me and watched her walk down the aisle with her dad. Her wedding dress enhanced all her curves and complimented her beauty. She was my own monalisa. The music stopped as soon as she got to the altar. She stood in front of me and I could tell that she was blushing. I took her hands as directed by the officiating priest and it was time to exchange our wedding vows. I took a deep breath and looked at all the guests present. I looked at Madison who held her baby, Cole who was wearing the brightest smile in the room, her dad who was really emotional and my daughter amongst other guests. Chole sat down in the first roll with her phone, ready to capture as many moments as possible. She gave me a thumbs up and a smile. Chole was extremely gorgeous in her pink lace dress. I turned my attention to the epitome of beau
It has been five days and a case has already been filed. Cole had given his testimony and Raymond had submitted the cctv footage to my lawyer as evidence. Chole had been discharged and she was staying at Irene's father's house with Cole and Madison. I was still at the hospital with my wife, watching up every morning expecting her to breathe and call my name. I looked outside the window and sighed heavily. My life was going through circles. I feared Irene would leave me the same way Sylvia did. I was confused and scared. The doctor has been assuring me since day one that she would be fine. It was almost a week, five working days and she has been the same. “Good morning Mr Damien '' , I heard Cole’s voice. He walked in with a simple smile and a food flask. “You didn’t have to bro” I responded weakly. He dropped the flask by the drawer and sat next to Irene. “You didn’t eat last night. You need strength to take care of Irene, Chole and me” he smiled. My stomach grumbled
Damien went berserk when the police informed him about the accident. He yelled “my wife and my baby!”. Damien moved past the police and I followed him. We got to the scene and it was Irene’s car. My hands were shaking, my whole body was covered with goosebumps. Damien rushed through the police and got to the car. He banged the car and cried in frustration. I walked to him and held his hand. The paramedics helped in bringing out chole. She had a few cuts from the glass but she passed out. They carried her to the other ambulance. The other team brought out my sister and it was bad. Very bad. She was bleeding everywhere and it was very obvious that she had broken bones. Damien squeezed my hand as he saw his wife. We were restricted by the police from coming closer to her. Damien got back to the car and drove in a rush to the hospital. As we waited in the waiting room, Madison and Dad rushed in. they were more panicked than we were. I hugged Madison and assured her all was going
ANNABEL’S POV. “Good morning baby”, Joses kissed my cheeks with a warm smile on his face. I stretched my hands and yawned tiredly. “Good morning “ I responded. I was living my best three days after Damien almost ruined my life. I noticed he had brought me breakfast and I smiled warmly as I took it from him. Joses left to get my vitamins. After trying all I could to get Jose back, I finally got the idea. All he wanted was money to get a yacht. I called in my lawyer and made a few of my properties up for sale. In two days, I got a buyer and signed the necessary documents. I called Joses. He eventually agreed to meet me. As soon as he walked in, I handed him the check he needed for his yacht. He hugged me spinned me around and kissed me. Since that day,he has worshiped me. I started getting back my life together. I had all the pleasure I needed, money and beauty. He got back with the vitamins and handed them to me. “How did it go last night?” he asked curiously. I
Tears ran down my face as I watched the final session of the interview. I couldn’t understand how the universe found me fortunate enough to have a god for a husband. Damien is a dream come through for me. “Mommy, I am done” Chole’s voice was a prompt for me to wipe my face. I cleaned my face and went through what she had written. “Good girl” I applauded. That evening, we ate dinner alone without Damien. At 10pm, Damien got back stressed and tired. He skipped dinner and went straight to bed. The next morning, I was up and popping. I was getting back to work after a long time and I had planned to make my husband breakfast. I got to the kitchen and started cooking. In no time, I was done. I served it on the best tray in the mansion and carried it upstairs myself. I gently pushed the door and placed the tray on the bed. I hung the curtains and leaned over to kiss him. I gave him a warm passionate french kiss. Damien moaned softly from his sleep as he woke up. “Good mor
“Hey!! Why are you two fighting over my best friend’s baby?” I joined their argument. “You should give a grand kid too” my dad fired back. With just one statement, I was off track. I laughed and listened to them argue over and over. After a while, my dad turned his attention to me. “ Irene, how is your husband? I still remembered how I fought tirelessly with him when I learnt about your marriage to him” he laughed. “Cole, i almost shot Damien on the head” he laughed harder. “I am glad Madison was able to make me see reasons. He takes care of you and the company too. I couldn’t have wished for a more competent inlaw” he bragged. Cole nodded and agreed immediately. “Dad, he is a great husband to my sister, '' Cole added and said many things that I couldn't pay much attention to. As soon as the word ‘sister’ left his mouth, I felt goosebumps. I felt emotional immediately and felt like hugging him. I didn’t know what was coming over me, so I got up from my seat and h
Damien laughed and cuddled me tightly. He held me close to himself like I was going to sneak off as soon as he left me. “You didn’t answer me baby” he whispered to my ears. “How are you feeling? Are you cramping?” He asked with all concern in his voice. I adjusted myself in his arms till I felt comfortable. “No daddy! I barely feel anything “. Damien gently touched my abdomen and caressed as his hands were in direct contact with my skin. I slept off earlier than our bed time and it made waking up early easier. At 3:49 am the next day, I woke up. I gently took my husband’s hand off my breast and walked to the bathroom. I got back from the bathroom and stared at how peaceful my husband was sleeping. He looked totally harmless and cute. I turned on the lights and tried to click a picture when he moved his eyelids. Damien smiled from his sleep without opening his eyes. I took a picture regardless but as I was about to click the next picture, he made a pose with his fingers.
Irene’s POV. I woke up to the warm kisses of my darling husband. As I opened my eyes, he kissed my lips again with a sweet smile on his face. “Hey mama”, he leaned away and took off his cufflinks. “You went out? Why all dressed?” I yawned lazily as I sat up. Damien smiled without words and walked into the closet to get changed. I got out of bed and noticed I had messed up the sheets. My period had been delayed for almost a week and the situations around the company and my family totally took my mind off it. As I tried changing the sheets, Damien’s voice startled me. “What’s that?” He asked with his hands folded behind his back. He looked like a mean grandpa with his golf outfit. I stuttered in speech before I finally found the right words. “Nothing, I am changing the sheets' ' I responded. Damien smirked and walked to me and held my waist. “Not that, The stain on your outfit. I know what it is now” he leaned and whispered to my ears. I was embarrassed but it didn’t s
As soon as she hung up my phone fell from my hand. What did she mean by I am being sued by Damien?. I was still in confusion when Joses barged in with so much anger in his eyes. “What is going on? Why is everything turning off? What the hell!! You promised me this was going to work!” He yelled. I was too shocked and confused to understand all that was happening. “Baby boy, you need to calm down and explain it slowly. What are you talking about? Why are the legal team withdrawing?” I asked, trying to touch him. He pulled himself away gently and paced around the room. The tension in the room was so high that I started feeling my stomach rumbling. “Haven’t you seen the news?” He blasted out of nowhere. I nodded my head as his question sounded familiar with what Barr. Glow asked over the phone. “What the hell!! “ he hissed. “Calm down Baby J, I just woke up” I whined. He stared at me with disgust and it offended me. I didn’t know how and what I was supposed to do. “ It's
