I walked out on Jerry but he dragged me back roughly. His action sparked a fierce reaction from Patrick as he stood up in a rush. “Listen to me, Agnes. You don't have to do this! Ok. We can leave this city, travel anywhere just like us. I can make you happy" Jerry sounded desperately. I pushed him away with all my might and freed myself from his grip. “As what huh? You are not my mother Jerry, I don't need you looking out for me. Leave me alone" I yelled, almost tearing my voice. “I can't turn a blind a eye to Agnes! I hell can't. Fuck!!! I love you Agnes! I love all of you!" He blasted. There was dead silence in the room. The whole space stood still. My ears kept hearing echoes of his last words “I love you". Jerry tried to touch me but I moved back. “Baby, I know I wasn't supposed to, but I did. I want to keep you close and make you happy. Please just give me a chance" he sighed softly running his hands through his hair. I sat down on the couch and let
Cooking was always something I looked up to everyday with my dad. We had maids but dad always loved it when I made breakfast for him. We would eat breakfast together before heading to the office. I placed a pan on the gas and added vegetable oil on the pan. I began by frying the eggs with salt and seasoning powder. I moved them out of the pan and added the diced sausages until they cooked well. I added the vegetables and seasoned it to taste. I could see the surprised looks on the maids faces. They would occasionally peep to see what I am doing and sometimes giggle among themselves. The aroma coming from my pan was nose blinding. I enjoyed the looks on their faces and how I crushed their doubts about me. I added the sausage and allowed it to stay in with the vegetables for a while before taking them all out from the pan. I sprayed the pan with oil and introduced the tortilla wrap to a tray. I filled the wrap with the vegetable and sausage, scrambled eggs and
I held the papers in front of me and kept staring at Damien. Damien looked too relaxed and it scared me. Andy bowed his head and refused to look at me or Damien. I opened the first page of the paper and it was a legal document. It increased my curiosity double. I slowly ran my eyes through every line and word inscribed in the paper. Halfway through the paper, I got goosebumps. Andy was forfeiting all the shares he had in my company willingly. I stared at Andy and I could see regrets and fear in his face. He wasn't doing all this willingly. Damien in turn kept staring at his watch and keeping a relaxed expression. I kept reading till I got to the last page. I am now entitled to 30% of Andy company's gross profit for ten years. My eyes popped! My whole body reacted to what I just saw. What was going on here? The lawyer handed me a pen showing me the column to sign. “Can I talk to Da… .I mean can I discuss this with my husband first” I muttered loud enough for the
After the meeting, I stayed back for a while to receive the good wishes of the staff on my wedding. They all congratulated and didn't forget to state how much of a wonderful husband Damien was. For a moment I almost forgot he was the same man I was living with. It was barely two weeks with him and I am living in regrets. I kept a fake smile till I got to my office. I received a mail for an advertising company. It felt weird and puzzled. The content of the email was suspicious, I couldn't remember fixing a meeting with them to discuss anything. I phoned Maddie through the company's telecom and she got to my office immediately. I turned my desktop to her and she read the email with a smile on her face. It got on my nerves. “What is going on!" I almost yelled. Madison explained it was Damien who had contacted them and how he got the idea from her. Her explanation sparked my anger. What was going on between my best friend and personal assistant and my so called
His words brought strange silence in the room. I was at a loss for words, I couldn't believe what my ears had heard. “You lost your tongue? Irene, you wanted me to talk right? Clean your ears because you will be hearing so much this evening" Damien raised his voice angrily. I staggered back a little before I controlled my balance. “What are you talking about Damien?" I asked weakly. Damien smirked and felt I was faking everything. “You become less attractive and disgusting when you do that Irene" he said, staring at me irritated. “Playing victim shows how dumb and irresponsible you are” he hissed rudely. I was agitated. I felt like slapping his face really hard without remorse. “Don't you ever! Ever use such languages at me again Damien!! Don't you ever" I raised my finger towards him pointing at him. I heard a loud echo of laughter in the room. Damien got out of his seat and walked towards me laughing. “You really have some guts Irene Swift! Too much guts! Or else
“Damien! Damien! Oh no, please open your eyes, I am sorry! I am really sorry please don't go blank on me" I said almost panicking, holding Damien in my arms. Damien moved his head and slowly pointed to a cell phone on the table before passing out. My whole body froze in fear. I panicked and started sobbing. “Damien please open your eyes" I sobbed on him, but there was no response. I slowly allowed him to rest on the floor and got hold of the phone he had pointed before passing out. I tried to access it but it was locked. The more I got scared, I tried his face on the phone but it wasn't working. “Oh no! Please come on" I begged desperately. I clicked on the password and it was letters. I tried to guess the password but it wasn't working. “Chole" I whispered. I tried Chole and I was banned for another thirty seconds. I yelled frustrated pacing around the study thinking of something or anything. I found a journal on the table with pictures in it. It was younger Damien a
Damien's POV. “Yes Irene! She has the right to her imagination" I said yawning. I noticed the maid blushing and Irene's facial expression. It is very easy to understand women. Seeing the maid walk in with dinner, I understood where Irene had gone. I woke up with a slight headache when the door banged slightly. I noticed Irene was not around, I guessed she had left the room. I sat up and checked for painkillers beside the shelf by the bed and swallowed it. I have had an anxiety disorder since I was a child. Over the years, I have tried to control it and reduce the frequent attacks but it has been there. I get triggered when I am stuck in a place without any means of getting out. The first time it happened when I was with Raymond was in an elevator. It got stuck and in five minutes, I passed out. I woke up in a hospital with Raymond by my side. It was a funny experience. “I am glad you didn't die on me boss" Raymond said, as soon as I blinked my eyelids. Since tha
I allowed her for a few seconds before letting go of her waist. “I need to wear something mama, it is going to be a cold night" I rubbed her face with the back of my palm. Irene blushed and moved away from me. As she walked back her jewelries , I noticed the piece of fabric she was wearing. It was green lingerie with a long revealing jacket. It looked really good on her. I entered the closet and wore gray pajamas. I walked out with the towel in my hand and saw Irene dressing the bed. Her figure became so obvious the way she leaned on the bed dressing the bed. She had put away her boxes neatly in the shopping bag. I entered the bathroom and hung the wet towels on the hangers. I got back to the room and saw Irene locking the windows. “It's getting cold already! You were right" Irene turned to me when she noticed my presence around her. I nodded and helped her with the curtains. “Would you like to sit at the balcony for a while?" I asked, holding her small waist.
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
