Irene's POV. “As soon as Irene wakes up, I am taking her home! She will sign the divorce papers and return home! I can't imagine what she might be going through in the hands of that arrogant man" I heard My Dad's voice from my sleep. I slowly opened my eyes and it took me a few seconds to recognize I was in the hospital. My heartbeat raised at the thought of being kidnapped a while ago by Agnes. “Dad! You need to calm down. Irene wouldn't want that" Madison sighed. “Want what?" I responded. The surprise on their faces increased my curiosity. “Oh my. How are you feeling Irene?" Madison leaned over and kissed my forehead. We were really worried” she said. " How are you feeling, Baby? “ Dad asked from his seat. I paid no attention to their concerns, I was more concerned about what was going on. “Want what?" I asked again. Madison tried to divert my attention but I insisted. “Don't Maddie!! Don't" I whispered. “Well, Maddie will go call the doctor! You are coming with me
“Damn!" I cursed under my breath. I drove to the hospital on a lonely lane with few officers on their check points. As soon as I walked to the hospital's reception, the nurses stared at me like they had seen a ghost. “What? You haven't seen a husband with a loaf before?" I smirked, walking past them to the elevator. I got to Irene's floor and increased my footsteps. I pushed the door slightly and turned on the lights. Irene was sleeping soundly with a few bandages on her face. My heart tightened in my chest at the sight of her. I kissed her forehead and her free hand, “This will never happen again Irene, I promise to never let any harm come to you" I whispered. I watched her sleep from the chair opposite her bed till I felt my eyes closing. I searched for my phone everywhere but I didn't find it. I hissed at my memory lost since dawn. It was broken, I reminded myself. I needed something to keep me awake till Irene woke up. I searched for Irene's phone too but I couldn't
I wouldn't have known how long I had slept till Raymond knocked at the door. “Good morning boss" he greeted the moment he walked in. I slowly left the bed and adjusted Irene. “Morning Ray" I yawned, heading to the bathroom. Raymond handed two new phone to me and stood behind waiting for ab instruction. “Breakfast Ray. Irene haven't had anything good to eat. A tray of everything she likes, inform the maids “ I said, paying all attention to unboxing the phones with me. Raymond stood back, holding his hands in front of him with uneasy eyes. " Spill” I said. " Boss, Chole. She has caught a fever. I have had the doctor come over this morning “. My heart was troubled. I got tired and almost frustrated at the constant drama that was happening. " It is nothing to worry about sir , according to the doctor, she is just reacting to the incident of yesterday. She will be fine sir” Raymond read through my thoughts. As soon as Raymond left, I had set up my phone. I had gotten messages
“Ma'am, boss ordered your breakfast". Raymond announced the best news. I smiled so hard till my cheeks hurt. I sat on the bed gracefully and gushed at the sweet food tray in front of me. Each bite was filled with deliciousness and satisfaction. After breakfast, Damien walked in with Chole in his arms. Chole jumped on me the moment she got out of Damien's hands. “Irene, I got scared!” Chole sobbed in my arms. “Daddy got you back right? I knew he would, " she smiled. Damien sat down on the bed staring at me with keen attention. “Where is your Dad and Madison?" He asked Dad and Madison left an hour before Damien got back. “They went to the company. Dad cares about business, I know he missed the place" I said, giggling slightly . Damien nodded and slowly massaged my foot. Chole fell asleep in my arms after thirty minutes, Damien leaned towards me and I thought he was coming for Chole, but instead he hissed me. "Thank you “ he whispered, leaning in for another kiss again. " C
As soon as we got back to the mansion, everyone was happy to see Irene back, especially me. I assisted her to our room gently, careful enough not to bruise any of her healing injuries. “Thank you Damien" she said, lying on the bed. Irene moaned and hugged the bed as though it was a human. “I missed you" she chuckled. “I have to go now, Raymond and I are heading to the office. There is an important file we need to get. Freshen up and have them prepare dinner. Don't go downstairs" I instructed her before walking through the door. Raymond and I drove to the office at 7pm. It took us twenty minutes to get the files I needed. We got to the car after getting the file and drove towards a shopping mall. “What do you think I should buy for Irene?" I asked Raymond. Raymond pulled over at the garage and stared at me clueless. “She is your wife, boss, I can't tell what she likes and what she doesn't," he replied. I got out of the car and got a shopping cart. Raymond walked fast to meet up
“They are yours mama" I informed her without taking my eyes off the screen. Irene jumped out of my arms and rushed to the shopping bags. She sat on the floor and opened the bags one at a time. “Damien…. “ She called me shyly. " You got me these? “ She raised the lingerie. " What's wrong with it, Irene? “ I asked, looking at her. Irene looked away blushing “Nothing. I didn't expect you to” she blushed harder. I smiled back and returned to work. I would steal glances at her and her smile and giggling would steal my heart in return. Her smile meant everything to me. "Are all these for me? “ She asked again with a smile. I sighed and gave her the same answer. "I have only one wife, mama”. As soon as she began unboxing her perfumes, I watched with keen interest. " Now, you can stay away from my perfumes. You have your own collections now” I joked. Irene poked her tongue at me and made funny faces. Irene tried out the hats and asked me for reviews. It was a blissful morning, I
Irene and I walked outside while Raymond and his men prevented the paparazzi from getting closer to us. I got the car keys from Raymond and drove Irene to one of my farms in the city. I packed by the road and helped Irene out. “My farm, honey” I introduced, with a smile. Irene looked around, surprised and excited. " It is such a big maize farm , Damien “ Irene gushed at the sight. We took a walk along the walkways and the farmers were surprised to see me. It was on rare occasions they saw me. I signaled the farm manager and he brought a mini farm car. I assisted Chole in getting in and turned the car around. I wanted an alone time with Irene and I indirectly left the farm manager behind. I drove us to my farm office and packed behind it. "We are here. This is one of my farms in Cabin. Come inside” I asked for her hand. Irene took my hands and walked inside with me. The farm office wasn't a modern building, it was a semi detached two bedroom house. Irene sat on the chair an
dropped everything in my hands and pulled her into my arms and hugged her. Irene hugged me back tightly and sobbed in my arms. “Can you please stop all this? One thing I hate is seeing you sob" I hissed, patting her head. Irene sniffed her nose, wiping her face with my shirt. “That's nice, you need to calm down ok?" I kissed her hair, sighing. Irene was such a handful. I couldn't stay mad at her for long, she has a strange effect on me. “You will freshen up now and rest ok?" I raised her face to meet mine. Irene made sad faces and refused to let me go. " What's wrong? “ I asked, slightly upset. " You will leave. I don't want you to leave “ she sniffed her nose again. I took her hand and led her to the closet. I stood by the door and watched her change out of her outfit. She walked out and dragged me by my hand. I stood by the bathroom door, while she freshened up. I closed my eyes and hissed “finished man". Irene got out of the bathroom and told me it was my turn to shower
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
