KAMARIA POV
I had my left elbow resting on the window and my right hand on the steering, my mind miles away while I drove on autopilot. I couldn’t stop thinking of the last two hours of my life. It felt as if someone else lived that and I am still hidden inside the person watching as it happened.Let’s rewind.I was seeing Damien off, we shared some goodbye kisses that left me wanting more and then the doorbell rang and everything took off on a parallel universe mode, because it sure felt like it wasn’t me there. The shock to the system when Damien opened the door to reveal Reign on the other side left me immobile until he called out my name in that deep husky voice of his.I reacted without thinking. I have missed him so much and the sight of him in front of my door was so overwhelming that I needed to make sure he wasn’t a figment of my imagination. I ran into his arms and hugged him almost in tears.“Where have you been?” I criedDAMIEN POVToday was messed up, I barely got any work done, and that is because I couldn’t stop thinking about the kiss, and too scared out of my fucking mind to call Kamaria or pick her calls. Maybe if I don’t pick then it wouldn’t be over, that is what I keep telling myself. Now I am at home playing my hand at working to see if it can help me stop thinking about her. Not helping, neither the four glasses of brandy that I have taken. I heard footsteps approaching before the door opened. “I am not hungry,” I said without lifting my head. “Good thing I am not the maid either.”I snapped up my head to see the object of my ravenous thoughts standing there looking as beautiful as ever and sparking this intense hunger in me to match up to her and kiss her senseless, and stare my claim but I remained seated. I stared at her face watching for signs that this is goodbye. I couldn’t read much, plus she is fucking far away. I didn’t da
KAMARIA POV “You are not going to let this go are you?” I looked up at him with a soft smile playing across my lips. Seeing him this insecure is a new one and I find it very cute, not that I will ever tell him that. Just imagining his reaction made me smile wider. “What?” He arched a brow at my broad smile. “Nothing,” I didn’t stop smiling. “Okayyyy,” he dragged out not believing me but he didn’t insist. “So,” he became serious. I held his gaze honestly before speaking. “It was a goodbye kiss.”“What do you mean?” He scrunched his brow at me. I stroked his chest as I spoke, playing with his nipples. “Reign confessed his love for me and since I couldn’t reciprocate it I couldn’t bring myself to deny him at least a kiss, and he is a good kisser,” I added with a cheeky grin. “Is that so,” he turned me on my back with a mischievous sparkle in his blue eyes. I nodded still smiling. I raised my hand up his sho
DAMIEN POV This morning I woke up with a smile on my face, feeling very happy and ready to face the day. Things are alright between Kamaria and I and I can’t be any more happy. I started the morning off with a delicious breakfast and a cup of coffee which Martha had waiting for me on the table by the time I came down. I left for work by eight and got there just before the clock struck nine o clock. Most of the employees were already present and they gave me a wide berth, but I greeted them with a smile. The shock on their faces made me smile inwardly. Today is definitely going to be different than yesterday. I received curious look of disbelief from my employees as I greeted them and complimented a few and even asked after their families. They must think I have gone insane or on drugs. And I don’t care. I feel happy and I don’t care who knows. Immediately I sat down my assistant walked in cradling her pad in one hand and a nervous l
DAMIEN POV I raced towards the hospital like the hounds of hell are after me, my heart in my throat aching with worry for Kamaria and my daughter. My daughter being gone has yet to sink in and I prayed strongly in my heart that I miss heard. The thought of that being true threatened to stop my heart. When I got to the hospital I ran towards the receptionist desk with urgency, telling them I was Kamaria’s husband just to get the information I needed. I ran to the lift that will take me to the ward where Kamaria is. When I got closer to her room I noticed her friends were outside, along with her boss. What is he doing here? I thought uncharitably in my mind but didn’t slow my stride. My worry for Kamaria and my kid overrode my jealousy at the moment. “Hi,” I greeted the guys doing my best to act as if her boss wasn’t present. My focus was on Jonathan, the only one who looked slightly pleased to see me. Bobby had an unfriendly look on his face and the boss well looked impassive, I c
DAMIEN POV“Mr Black! Mr Black! Mr Black!” It was on the third call that the voice of my executives penetrated through the fog clouding my mind. At the moment I was having a meeting with my executives concerning the company we just acquired but my mind is miles and miles away. I was lost in thought thinking about Kamaria. Is been 3 months now and still no change. Our daughter has been buried, a small ceremony. We tried to delay it to wait for Kamaria to wake up but when weeks turned to months we could no longer delay it and held a small ceremony for her. Her memories still torments my sleeping and waking moments. I miss Kamaria so bad that it physically aches and not being able to do anything to help her makes me feel so helpless that it weighs heavily on my soul. Looks like the big man upstairs isn’t listening to my prayers, even from his servant, why am I surprised. “What do you think sir?” He asked when I gave him my attention. I don’t know what the fuck he is asking about becau
KAMARIA POV The first thing I felt when I opened my eyes was how much the light in the room hurts, and second thing was how much my body hurts. It felt as if I haven’t moved in ages. And then the third is how dry my mouth feels. Of course I reacted to hurt in my eyes by quickly shutting them. I left them close for a while and the darkness was a relief. After a minute or more I tried again and it was better. I looked around me to find out where I was. I was in a hospital room. I tried to think why, but it hurts. I was alone and felt a bit confused on what to do. The door open and a tall middle aged man in scrub walked in. “Hello, there, looks like you have decided to rejoin the living,” he teased with a small smile on his lips. I attempted a smile, but couldn’t pull it off because how I was feeling.“What happened?” I tried to ask but my voice sounded weird, croaky and hoarse. I looked at the doctor for an explanation, as to why I suddenly sound like a frog.“You have been out for
DAMIEN POVThe look in her eyes when I told her about the demise of our daughter broke me inside and all I wanted to do was take her in my arms and tell her that all will be well. When she asked us to leave the room I wanted to protest. I nearly lost her the last thing I wanted to do was leave her again. Outside her door I was so lost in thought trying to figure out how I can help her with her grief that I didn’t see the blow coming until it connected with my jaw sending my face in the opposite direction and such an excruciating pain towards my brain, that I felt it rattle in my skull. I turned with a shocked look towards Bobby to find him glaring at me with fire in his eyes. Before I could understand what was going on the dark man delivered another blow to the jaw almost sending me to the ground. “Bobby!” His wife screeched in shock as Lily rushed to my side to steady me. Atta boy! Kamaria’s father praised with a proud look on his
KAMARIA POV I had believed him long gone. The last time we spoke things hadn’t exactly ended well. It wasn’t just his presence that had me short of words but his appearance too. I couldn’t believe the man I was looking at is my boss. Where did the rest of him go?“Hi,” he said a little awkwardly from the door way. “Hi,” I replied softly. What I wanted most was to say sorry for hurting him as that hadn’t been my intention and the other thing is to find out what is really going on. This time the truth. He closed the distance between us and sat down on the chair my dad vacated. “How are you feeling?” He enquired staring at my face intently as if to spot a lie when I tell it. I didn’t. “Tired, and sad,” I said softly. He nodded in understanding and then looked away as if he couldn’t bear to look at me. And then he shocked me when tears ran down his face. “What is wrong Reign?” I asked a little bit alarmed. “Are you okay?”He shook his head like the words felt heavy in his mouth and t
