KAMARIA POV "You didn't have to help me," I mumbled joining him at the boot of my car. "I know," he said without lifting his face from what he was doing. I stared at him but he wouldn't look in my direction. I don't like this awkward tension between us. Things are already weird between us and we haven't even fucked. I signed and then walked away, joining my dad at the porch. The door opened bringing out Davina and her load. "Morning sunshine!" "Did we have to leave at the crack of dawn," she grumbled not answering my greeting. "First of all young lady, a greeting or returning my greeting will be a polite thing to do, and secondly, it is eight o clock, hardly the crack of dawn." "Whatever," she walked away leaving me staring in confusion at her. "What crawled up her ass this morning?" I asked no one. "Maybe she doesn't want to leave." I turned to look at dad. He tried hiding his feelings from me, but he wasn't doing a good job of it. I could see the sadness and the tiredness
KAMARIA POV I didn’t mean to sound pathetic over the phone, but I am still struggling to accept Mum’s death and the only reason I am keeping strong is my daughter, Davina. "Hey! Are you alright?" "Mum is dead," I whispered into the phone. "What!" I went on to tell Bobby everything, including Damien's unexpected visit. "What is that asshole up to now, and how did he know where to find you?" "I don't know. I wouldn't put it past him to send someone to spy on us." "I am sorry about your mother." "Thanks." "How is your old man taking it." "As well as he can." "Well I am here if you need anything." "Thanks." "Are you sure nothing is going on between you two?" Bobby retraced in a drolly tone. "Bye," I ended the call with a smile on my face. I returned to the kitchen to see two boxes of large pizza on the kitchen table with Reign and Davina already seated and plates set on the table. Davina was staring at the pizza carton like a dog at a bone. I hadn't realised how much time
DAMIEN POVFrom my side eye I notice her smile, which tickled my curiosity as to what she was doing on her phone that is making her giggle. I tried to peep at the screen but it was a little dim inside the room to provide any light, and I believe she is using this privacy screen. I decided to ignore it, but a bad feeling started to prick me at the back of my mind. I turned to stare at her, asking myself if she was capable of such a thing. Lily and I love each other, this I know. Yes things might be rocky now, but I don't want to believe that she would betray all of our years together and everything we went through.No, I shook my head inside my mind, trying to deny the obvious. I trust her, I told myself, not wanting to drive myself crazy by thinking otherwise. I ignored whatever she was doing on her phone and went back to email. Soon the launching began. The product is a smart car that doesn't need a driver. Also the car will be able to act in case of emergencies, say the passeng
KAMARIA POV Their presence was the least I expected in this place, and just my rotten luck to run into them. When I heard her speak, I knew he will be close by and all instinct told me to make my escape before they turn to us but there isn’t any easy way to do so without appearing rude and awkward, so I waited with my heart pounding in my chest. Is been ten years since I last saw her. Guess she got her wish, a marriage to Damien. I felt Reign’s hand rest gently on mine and I immediately relaxed under them. The last minute invite from PK motors changed Reign’s plan.Watching her lay the charm a little too thick made me scoffed. If only those men knew what a viper she is. Finally they turned and I watched with a little bit of satisfaction as great shock gleamed momentarily from those wicked, calculating grey eyes before it was quickly masked into a dark look, with a coy smile dancing across the red painted lips. "And what do we have here?"Even as she was smiling pretty, her brown
DAMIEN POVDid 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 then
KAMARIA 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.
