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
DAMIEN POVThings have gotten downright hostile between Lily and I. My home now feels like a war zone with no day passing without us getting into an argument. There is nothing I do that she doesn’t find fault in. Despite the sacrifice I was making for her by staying away from Kamaria out of respect for her and because she was carrying my child there was no pleasing her. I miss Kamaria so bad that my chest hurts. I have been to see her a few times since she was discharged but those times someone is always there with her that we haven’t had time to speak alone. I couldn’t help but worry about what she is thinking. Does she still love me, or does she believe that I will abandon her now that Lily is back. Lily being back makes no difference to how I feel about Kamaria and I think is high time I made her understand that. Jonathan was gracious enough to keep me informed with what is going on with her and that is how I learned that she has moved from her previous apartment to a new one an
KAMARIA POV Earlier today when Reign came around he had asked me to marry him. His proposal though a shock wasn’t out of the blue proposal for him. He gave his reasons at the same time pointed out that there was no future with Damien, not with Lily around. I didn’t want to believe him and wasn’t keen on accepting his proposal no matter how much his reasons made sense so I sent him away with the words that I would think about it. After Reign left I wanted to call Damien, needed to hear him say it. When Damien landed in front of my door without me having to call him, I was filled with so much joy and also dread. Joy at the sight of the man I love, and dread that it might not be enough. Looks like I was right to fear. What hurts most is that he is choosing her all over again. Yes, he makes it all about his kid, and I could understand a little from his point of view. After losing Davina, Lily is another chance for him to have a kid. I know what he felt in the past about kids, but that
DAMIEN POV “Hey man! What is with the shit look on your face?”Max asked as he took the seat on the other side of the table. I called him out for lunch because…well I needed the company. These days it feels as if I am loosing control of everything in my life. “It is over between Kamaria and I and she is getting married?” I answered with a low sarcastic chuckle, but inside I was in pain. “What!” Max gasped staring wide at me. “Yeah, man, I lifted my coffee cup to my lips and took a sip. The hot liquid did nothing for the sadness I was feeling inside. Maybe I should have ordered something stronger. “What happened?” I hesitated to answer when the young waiter appeared beside our table to take his lunch order. Alone again, I spoke. “I think she is in love with her boss.”“You don’t believe that,” Max said causally. I didn’t say anything cause I don’t know what to believe anymore. Why is she marrying him? Is it just to get back at me for not divorcing Lily. I thought she of all peop
KAMARIA POV Is been three days since we arrived in London for my wedding. Daddy couldn’t come because of his old bones as he said it, but I think it is his excuse not to admit that he is scared of flying. He was happy for me though and gave me his blessings. Here we are in one of London’s pub on the eve of my wedding having a night out. It is just me and my two best friends. I have done my best to present a brave front to them, to mask my real feelings. I am not regretting saying yes to Reign, he is a good man and will certainly make a great husband, and father. But my heart yearns for another, and for that I can’t help the sadness that creeps into my soul now and then. “To Kamaria, and finally getting the happiness she deserves!” Bobby yelled with a wide grin on his face. He is another great supporter of this marriage. Jonathan is on the fence. I believe he will prefer that I be with Damien, even though he hasn’t said that loud. Unfortunately I can’t. He chose her again. I stifl
