DAMIEN POV
Did you know?I stopped abruptly at Lily’s question and turned to face her. We were in the middle of the room, surely she doesn’t intend to start a fight here. Her stare was full of glare, as if I poured sand into her food. Did I know what? I growled impatiently. I was still reeling from our earlier encounter with Kamaria and isn’t really in the mood for another fight.That she will be here. She spat the words at me, her grey eyes full of animosity.I was momentarily distracted by the hatred in her eyes. I know she hates Kamaria, but I had believed it was because I was married to Kamaria instead of her, but it looks to be more.No, I answered simply.And if you knew would you have told me?The tone behind her words, as if she was accusing me of something made my hackles rise. And what is that supposed to mean? I asked coldly.That you are always keeping shit from me, she snapped and thenKAMARIA POV I should have stopped talking when I had the chance, but it looked as if my mouth had a mind of its own."You have nothing to apologise for and I would never think you a monster. At first I was a little terrified because I have never seen this side of you, but watching you defend my honour like that made me …"I trailed off blushing furiously when my brain finally caught up with my mouth sneaky actions. I can’t believe I nearly admitted my desire for him out loud, but damn he had looked so hot when he stood off against Damien that I believed my panties got wet. Not that I am ever saying that out loud. "What?" He asked softly, his voice a little husky, and it could be a play of the city lights but I think his deep green eyes got a lot darker. That animalistic hunger in his eyes that he is trying hard to play down set off series of chain reactions in my blood that got them rushing downwards, causing the little
DAMIEN POVAs I sat in my car watching the building across the road with curious intensity, Lily's question continued to ring in my mind like an a broken record which is seriously annoying. Her queen made me think which I haven't done since walking into that office and seeing KamariaAnd him…Ever since that day all I have wanted was my revenge. Do I want the kid because I want the kid or is it to get back at her mother. BothFinally my mind provided me with an answer that made me feel at peace inside. This morning I got a message from my investigator letting me know which school my daughter was attending and now I am parked out here across the school building waiting for her to come walking out of that building. A look at my watch tells me that school will soon be over and soon I will be introducing myself to my daughter. If I was being honest with myself the very thought scares the living day light out of
KAMARIA POV Damn bloody Damien, ambushing me like that, I cursed furiously in my mind as we drove home. I should have expected such a sneaky thing from him. "Mum, who is he?"I took a deep breath to calm myself, no need letting my daughter know how rattled I am by Damien's visit. I turned to look at her and once again hit by her remarkable resemblance to her father. If it wasn't so, I wished painfully in my heart as I held her eyes. Time was running out for me to come clean, I know that, but I just can't bring myself to tell her the truth. I know I am a coward, but I am just scared. Scared of loosing her. How will she react if she finds out that I lied to her. "No one," I whispered and turned to concentrate on my driving. We drove the rest of the way in silence with Davina not asking any more about Damien, thank God. "Do you have any homework?" I asked when we walked through the door.
DAMIEN POVSo yesterday Kamaria managed to thwart my plans of seeing my daughter. Well today I wasn't giving her the choice. The Principal of the school is an old acquaintance of my father. I hadn't planned on using his influence to get what I wanted because I didn't want him knowing my business, but with Kamaria interference yesterday I had to use another means to get in touch with my daughter. Yesterday I had called him up to ask for the favour, which the little sneaky bastard had used as a door way to wriggle a favour for himself. He had agreed to help me only if I allowed his son who just graduated from college to intern in my company. That was an easy favour to grant but I didn't like it that I had to come to him for a favour in the first place. I arrived at the school and made my way through the corridors towards the Principal's office. The corridors were deserted which means the students were indoors having
KAMARIA POV Today has been so busy that I barely had any break to take lunch. Bagging the PK motors contract opened our doors to an influx of contracts. Most of the companies walking through our doors is because they were impressed with what we did for PK motors and wanted the same quality of work, and having so many of them at once has me so occupied that I almost forgot what is looming over my head. I was meant to visit a law firm that my old boss recommended for me today but there was hardly any time. I need to take care of that because our hearing has been scheduled to start next week. The telephone on my desk rang pulling my attention from the laptop screen in front of me. “Hello,” I said distractedly, focused more on the work I am doing for a company that sells natural made juice drinks. “Miss Paisley there is a man here to see you. Says he is from Mr Anisworth,” Noah said into the phone. “Let him in.”
KAMARIA POV “Like what? She turned to look at me.” The fury in her eyes staggered me. “I don’t know, like whatever it is that is making you so mad.” “I said I am fine, please will you drop it!” “Hey! Don’t speak to me like that young lady!” Whatever, she turned to look out the window again, but I wasn’t going to let her rudeness go. “Don’t whatever me, what is going on with you?!” She kept silent. Her behaviour began to worry me, but I know she wasn’t going to speak to me unless she is ready to. I took a deep breath to calm myself, there is no need for both of us to lose our heads. I am the adult here. “I know something is troubling you, I am here if you want to talk.” “So that you can lie to me,” she scoffed. I turn to look sharply at her, a little taking aback my her accusation. “What is that supposed to mean?” “Nothing.” I know insisting on getting an answer will get me nowhere, so I let it go. When we got home she took off toward the house like she was being chased d
DAMIEN POVI waited patiently for her to answer my question, while keeping my eyes on her face. The little girl intrigues me, not just because she is my daughter, which is a huge part, but because of the way her mind works. She is brilliant, and has proven in the little time we have spent together. “I don’t want to make her sad,” she whispered. Her response threw me for a loop. “What do you mean?” Again she hesitated. I wondered if she worries that she is betraying her mother’s secret by speaking to me about her. I wouldn’t push her, the reason for this outing was for me to get to know her and she me, for that I will be very patient. “She cries every time, mostly when she looks at me.”I wasn’t expecting that. Why would Kamaria cry when she looks at our daughter. And then it hit me. our resemblance. So it is not me alone that sees it. “She thinks I don’t know, but I know,”she continued staring into the distance. “Know what?” I asked gently when she stopped. She blinked as if I
DAMIEN POVEven though I suspects that my child’s well-being isn’t the reason for Lily refusal to meet my child what she said made sense. “You are right,” I grudgingly agreed. “So why did you call?” “I thought we could have lunch together, but I see you have already had one.” “Was that jealousy I had in her voice.”Lily is not yet on board with me bringing my kid into our lives, but I believe she needs to meet my girl and she will loose her heart to her, just like I have done. My daughter is adorable, and charming. I believe anyone that get a chance to interact with her will fall in love with her. “Well what I had wasn’t satisfying, I believe I could do another lunch. Where are you so I could pick you up?” She gave me the location of her latest shoot and I started and drove off in that direction. KAMARIA POV“How was school today honey?”I asked Davina as we drove home.
