~~Vanessa~~The next few hours will determine if I will spend the rest of my life with Damien as Elizabeth, or if Elizabeth will resurface, pulling me away into nothingness; I could feel her presence within me, strong. “Can I come in?” I heard Damian ask, Followed by a subtle knock on the door. I chuckled, “Damien this is your bedroom too you can come in”The door pulled open, and he stepped, his gaze narrowing across my back gown. It was a beautiful blue gown adorned with diamonds; the dress was fitted from the waist up, revealing my curvy features, and from the waist down, it flowed into a dramatic voluminous skirt. My hair, on the other hand, fell beautifully on my shoulders. “You look beautiful,” he muttered. I smiled, pulling my hair behind my ear. “Thank you. You look good in that tux, too,” I complimented.He pressed his hand against his chest. “I think I just fell in love all over again.”I chuckled. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. “Come in” Damien and I said
~~Vanessa~~ I couldn't believe it. It worked, I got him drunk. Raymond sat on a chair, his hand wrapped around my thighs. “Elizabeth” he gasped, his voice filled with longing. I pulled away from him, rushing to my bag; I pulled out the documents laying them out on the desk. “Raymond?” I turned to him. “Can you sign these please?” I asked, hoping he was too drunk to think straight. His brow furrowed, staggering to get up. “Sign what?”I quickly held him, supporting his body so that he wouldn't fall. “Just this paper, sigh here,” I said, handing him a pen. He gagged, shaking his head. “What is it about?” He asked leaning in to sign. I chuckled nervously. “Can you just sign it? I want you to rest,” I said, caressing his back. He nodded, writing his signature in all the right places. My heart filled with relief. I finally won? It felt too good to be true. But it was. My company, it was mine once more. Now all I needed was to get him to confess that he tried to kill me. He placed
~~Damien~~I panicked, my heart racing with fear. “Elizabeth?!” I yelled knocking violently on Raymond's door. “Elizabeth?!”I reached for the doorknob and pulled it open. “Elizabeth!” I rushed in searching the house. As I rushed into the bedroom, my heart was sore a bit, my legs halting to a stop as my gaze caught her legs on the bathroom floor. “Elizabeth?” I muttered rushing towards her. My heart shattered as I saw the woman I love lying unconscious on the ground, filled with a pool of blood. “Elizabeth!” I yelled, wrapping her up in my arms. “Elizabeth, wake up please” My voice shook, “Elizabeth I beg if you…wake up, I cannot live without you”But she didn't move. She lay unconscious, unable to speak a word to me. Suddenly, the door flung open, and loud footsteps approached. It was the police I had called them a few minutes ago. I lifted Elizabeth in my arms, tears streaming down my face; I led her outside the room. “We searched the whole place; there is no sight of him, s
~~Vanessa~~I'm not going to lie; I missed my body, my luxurious brown hair that flowed down my back, and my hips that swayed gracefully with each step I took.Sigh.I missed it. I walked barefoot into the living area of my mansion. I had just had a shower, I was wrapped in a robe, and my hair was damp as I massaged it with a dry towel. I was used to being in the house alone. I guess Raymond had dismissed the house help since I wasn't going to be needing them. Suddenly, I heard a knock on the door, subtle, yet violent. “Who is it?” I asked as I walked towards the door. But there was no response. “Who is it?” I asked again as I pulled the door openMy eyes widened in shock as I beheld Damien standing before me, his gaze fierce. I swallowed hard. “Damien?”His hands shot out to me, grabbing my neck.I gasped in shock. “Damien!” I choked.With a swift move, he pinned me against the wall. “I don't hurt women, but if it's for the woman I love I'm ready to break you into a million pie
Well… I died. If I had been told a month ago that I would be killed by my fiance and his mistress I would laugh in the person's face. But here I was … drowning. My eyes slowly closed as the water filled my lungs. PRESENT DAYMy eyes sprang open with a loud gasp. Gasp? I was breathing. How? I was supposed to be dead. I was sure I drowned. Suddenly, the door flung open and two women in scrubs rushed in. They appeared to be nurses. The loud beeping sound of the monitor on my left must have attracted them. That was when I realized… I was in a hospital. Why would Raymond take me to a hospital after attempting to kill me?One of the nurses rushed to my side. Reaching into her pocket she pulled out a penlight and began to examine my pupils. “How are you feeling now, Ms Blackwood?” My brow furrowed. Ms Blackwood? That wasn’t my name. “I will inform her husband that she has awakened,” the other nurse said and rushed out. My eyes widened in fear.No… She was going to tell Raymond that I w
ONE MONTH EARLIER As the car sped past buildings, I stared blankly out of the car window, the faint memories of what happened before I died playing in my head. I had hoped that it would stop playing but it didn't. The day it all happened…. It was our wedding anniversary, I had called Raymond earlier that I couldn't make it because of a meeting but fortunately, the meeting was canceled. Excited about seeing my Raymond, I rushed back home to surprise him. But Instead, I was surprised. There was a romantic setup in our living room. Candles were lit. Rose petals were scattered beautifully across the floor, and gifts were on the table. It was the perfect anniversary…or so I thought. Why would he light the candles when he knew that I wasn't home? I asked myself. Just then a loud laughter erupted from the bedroom, it was Paige’s voice. I was shocked but there had to be a reasonable explanation, so I went into the room. They were both naked and he lay on to
Mornings used to be my favorite. Waking up next to Raymond. Morning kisses. Cuddling me with his big strong arms. I always used to feel so protected. But now, I hate it. I lay on the bed staring blankly at the ceiling as the sun peered through the Windows. I was exhausted. I couldn't sleep all night. Every time I closed my eyes I saw Raymond drowning me. It all felt so real as if I was dying all over again.And in all that time I have realized that Raymond wasn't the man who cheated on me. No, he was also the man who tried to kill me. He tried to take my life and he was walking around a free man, running my company while my body lay in a hospital in a coma.But it's good. Not being able to sleep gave me some time to plan my revenge. I was going to ruin Raymond and Paige's relationship. My plan was going to be ten times more sinister than hers. They were both playing checkers. I on the other hand would be playing chess. Raymond? I know him inside out. Making him fall in love with me w
I had always envied people who were in love. The happiness that came with it, the clinginess, the affection. But that was all a Lie. Now that I was looking from within? I have realized that it was all a lie. I could feel hate growing within me. Hate for Raymond. Hate for love. “Elizabeth?” Dave said, moving towards me. “Are you okay?”“Stop!” I snapped waving my hands at him. This was all too much to take in. Elizabeth had a relationship outside her marriage.There was a loud ding and soon the elevator slid open. Quickly I rushed out. “Elizabeth what is it?” he asked, walking out after me. “I lost my memory!” He halted. The atmosphere grew tense as his gaze seared through my skin, I couldn't tell what he was thinking.Finally, he spoke. “You don't remember anything?”I nodded.“I do not”.Hopefully, this was my chance to end whatever was going on between them. “So you cannot kiss me from now on”“Liz” he protested walking towards me. “Stop!” I gasped. I needed to get out of this p

Immediately, I knocked on Dave's door; the door flung open.“Elizabeth” he gasped, his hands wrapping around me in a tight hug.“Dave” my hands instinctively wrapped around his neck. “Oh my God, I missed you so much,” I said, cupping his face with both my hands and pressing a kiss on his lips.“I missed you too,” he said, pulling away from me. “How are you back? What happened?” his eyes searched mine. “I don't know, I just woke up in a hotel”He pulled me into his house, shutting the door behind us. “What is the last thing you remember?”I thought for a second “Well, we were both kissing in my office, and then I woke up in a hotel with Damien”He chuckled. “I knew it was you in your office” he pressed his lips against mine. “Don't ever do that again” he whispered against my lips. “Don't let her come back”I shook my head, “I don't have power over it, I think she might come back”He slipped his hands into mine, his eyes searching mine. “I love you Elizabeth”I smiled. “I love you too”
~~DAMIEN~~Something was wrong, I could feel it. Elizabeth looked at me, not with the usual warmth her eyes held, her eyes were filled with fear and uncertainty.“Did you touch me? Why does my whole body hurt? How did I get here?”Those words, her tone, the way she looked at me. She wasn't my Elizabeth.“Elizabeth, do you remember anything that happened the last few days?”She shook her head. “What happened?”“Did you lose your memories again?” I said approaching her.She gazes at me with a confused look. “Again? I didn't lose my memories, I remember everything”“But you don't remember the past few days?”She paused and then shook her head. “Dress up, I will call a doctor,” I said, rushing out. My heart raced with fear; I just got Elizabeth back; I couldn't lose again; I didn't want to lose her. The thought of Elizabeth forgetting everything we had together…~~Elizabeth~~Despite the pain, I slipped out of the bed. I headed for the wardrobe hoping to find something to wear. My gaze
This man fucked me for five hours nonstop and is seated across the room, his gaze focused on his iPad like nothing happened. Damien didn't lie. When he said he wouldn't be able to control himself if he touched me last night he meant it. This man had me in a thousand positions, and I still wasn't ready to stop. My body hurt so bad, but Strangely, I liked it. I tried to sit up but my legs hurt. ‘I will take away your ability to work.’ Those words replayed in my head.He did take away my ability to work. “Are you going to be on your iPad all morning?” I asked, my back still resting on the bed. There was no way I was sitting up with the pain I felt all over my body. “I have some work to finish,” he said, his gaze never leaving his iPad. My brow furrowed. The fact that his attention wasn't on me made me jealous. “You are going to spend your honeymoon on your iPad?”I heard the iPad shut down. “Are you still jealous about Melissa?” He asked approaching the bed.I got slightly angry.“D
This was it, Damien was marrying her. I sat in the front row of the groom's side, my legs crossed as I awaited the ceremony to begin. Damien stood before the wedding beside the priest on the aisle occasionally shooting me proud looks. He seemed to like my dress, it was a fitted red dress that revealed my curves and A slit that ran up my thighs. Instead of my usual bun, My hair was let down, falling perfectly upon my shoulders. I could feel the guests stealing glances at me and murmuring. I didn't need to hear them to hear what they were talking about: a shameless woman sitting proudly at the front while her husband married another woman. Suddenly, the bridal march began to play, and the murmurs stopped. Damien looked at me. “I love you” he mouthed. I looked down trying to hide my smile. How foolish in love I was. Soon Melisa approached the aisle, accompanied by a man who I assumed to be her father. She had on a beautiful white dress so long that it swept the floor as she walke
The thought of Damien marrying another woman hurt like hell. “Tell me you won't do it” The words hung in my throat.“Elizabeth” he tugged my hair behind my ears.”You know I would never do that”I sighed in relief. “I'm sorry about Melisa”His hand squeezed mine. “Sorry For what? I should be sorry for what she did to you”“It's not your fault. But she is your childhood friend You must feel bad about her health, I know you care for her”His expression turned serious, his nose brushing against mine.“I cannot care for a woman who tried to hurt the woman that I love; I only care about you.” he pushed himself against me. “I promise, nothing will ever happen between her and me.”I nodded, my lips curving into a smile. “Yes sir”“Gosh, say that again,” he begged. I chuckled. “What? Yes sir?”His grip tightened around my waist. “I like it when you talk like that”I laughed. Suddenly his phone rang. “It's my Dad,” he muttered, gazing at the screen. “Answer it then”He picked it up, putting i
