DAMIEN POV

I 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.

The fury in her eyes could be seen from miles away, and I could see she was ready to explode, but she had the good sense to wait for me to clear the room. Her presence sparked the curiosity of my employees in the room, because most of them could remember her from years ago. “Can we have the room,” I said calmly, even though my mild was wondering what could possibly be wrong. My first thought has something happened to my daughter. Once the room cleared she lit up like fireworks. “How dare you?” She snarled, all her features tensed with her fury. I ignored her fury and asked after my daughter. “Has something happened to Davina?” I sat forward earnest in my worry for my daughter. My query made her even more furious.

    DAMIEN POVI walked into Max office unannounced, luckily he had no client in and his secretary was missing. “Damien!”My presence was a surprise to him, like I said unannounced. Before he could say another word I dropped an envelope in front of him. “I want you to use this during trial.”Next week is the start of the custody trial and I am not leaving anything to chance. Max picked up the envelope without an iota of interest on his face. “What is this?”“Just an insurance.”My cold tone made Max look at me sharply, his dark brown eyes narrowing suspiciously in my direction. “What did you do?”I relaxed back in his sofa crossed my legs at the knees, looking totally unconcerned by the accusation in his tone. “Damien!!!”Dragging out my name was supposed to prompt me into talking, but the envelope can speak for itself. “Why don’t you open it and see for yourself.”There was a bit of excitement in my voice as I thought about what is in that envelope and how damming it is going to b

    KAMARIA POV“Hey are you alright?”I put down the drink I had in my hand to look towards Jonathan sitting across from me. “What do you mean?”It is Friday night and I am hanging out with my best friends. We haven’t hung out like this since I came back to the State, and Bobby being a family man hopping bars seems to be a thing of the past. It was Jonathan’s idea we come out this night. Cost me a fortune to get a baby sitter at a short notice despite Davina insistent argument that she is old enough to be on her own. Well I don’t want child services knocking on my door trying to take my kid away, have got enough of that from her father. “You seem distracted,” Jonathan yelled in a slightly loud voice from across the table. The bar is getting rowdier as more people came in. It is Friday night and the bar is bound to get crowded as the evening wears on. With the added loud music conversation is a tad hard. Jonathan was right, I am distracted. The reason I accepted this outing is to ke

  • LOVE BY CONTRACT    Chapter Seventy: I am scared

    KAMARIA POV We called it a night at eleven pm, deciding to go home before we get absolutely drunk. We are no longer as young as we used to be. Being reminded that you are growing old can be depressing. Outside the bar I tightened the red coat I had over the black gown I wore for the evening. It has gotten pretty cold. As the winter months draws closer the nights are getting chillier. It is a lot quieter than usual on the streets, with few drunk teenagers making ruckus here and there. “Do we use one taxi?” Jonathan asked clutching his jacket closer to his slim frame. He had his hands protectively tucked into the pockets of his leather jacket. “Might be wise,” Bobby agreed. He looked unaffected by the weather, and had the list covering over the shirt he wore for the evening. Even though we leave in different streets using one Uber means we don’t get to leave someone behind. Jonathan called the Uber. While we waited, a white Toyota jeep pulled up to me, and the glance whined do

    DAMIEN POVI turned around to hit the alarm clock shutting it up. It is five am time to get up. I am supposed to be at the courthouse by eight. The custody case is by nine. Max asked to come in early just to show the judge that I am responsible. Lily groaned in protest at being woken up by the alarm. Yesterday she came in late from partying with her friends and work colleagues. “I am sorry baby,” I turned around to peck her forehead before getting out of bed. She mumbled something unintelligent and went back to sleep. I went to the closet and threw on my work out clothes and then made my way downstairs to the training room. Not a full gym workout set, but I have got lifts and treadmill. Few stretches, twenty minutes run, and forty five minutes weights and I was done with my morning exercise. Sweating like a cow about to be slaughtered, I ran up the stairs back to my room. Lily was still asleep. Just to irritate her I went to the edge of the bed and kissed her. She moaned into

  • LOVE BY CONTRACT    Chapter Seventy two: Running late

    KAMARIA POV “Mum, am I going to court with you?”“No, baby, you are going to school,” I answered distracted. My attention was more on the eggs I was frying than on the conversation I was having with my daughter. I woke late this morning because last night I forgot to set my alarm clock, and if we don’t leave within the next ten minutes I am going to be late to the court. Not a good example of parent hood showing up late on the morning of your custody battle suit with your ex husband, and according to stuffy pants I must do my best to appear like a good caring and responsible mother through out this suit. Which means no dating, no questionable behaviours like driving drunk, or being caught with your pants down. Told him emphatically that he wouldn’t have to worry about that with me, only someone with a love life worries about being caught with their pants down, my love life is as dry as the desert. Not that Mr superiority complex believed a word I said. “Alright eat up baby so I c

    DAMIEN POVThe door to the court room opened and Kamaria with her entourage walked in. Leading the group is a young guy that looked like he borrowed his suit and a stern face that looks murderous. What did she do? Hire a baby lawyer. The guy looked like he just graduated law school. If this is what she hired then this case is in the bag, because I am sure Max and my lawyers will wipe the floor with this guy. I adjusted myself on the sit suddenly feeling very confident and happy inside and that is until I noticed himI can’t believe she brought him along. I clenched my fist as I watched him take a seat at the back, but not before I saw him squeeze her hand briefly. Kamaria continued on ahead alone with her lawyer. “Who are you glaring at?” Max turned to look behind me. “Who is that?”“That is her boss,” I spat out, like it was something disgusting on my tongue. “I can see why you are jealous. He is a perfect male gorgeousness.”“I am not jealous,” I protested sharply in a low snarl

The guy she hired to do her dirty deed confessed to everything and Lily didn’t bother to deny it.In a moment of insanity I visited her because I wanted to know why she did it. I still found it hard to believe that she was capable of murder. This was a woman that I loved in the past. Had she been this devious from the onset? If she was she hid it very well. Back to my visit to her in jail before she was transferred to the prison. This was after the judgement from the judge found her guilty. The guard on that day was kind enough to provide us a small room to talk in with no one disturbing us. Lily waddled her way in, and paused briefly at the sight of me. Her pregnancy was beginning to show now. “Didn’t think I will ever see you again,” she said taking the seat across from me. She looked tired. I wanted to feel pity for her situa

    KAMARIA’S POV“You may kiss the bride,” the priest officiating our wedding ceremony said with so much gusto, as if to infuse some excitement into the tensed and rigid atmosphere in the small room. I felt Reign stare intently at me, his expression nervous and questioning. He wanted to know if I wanted him to kiss me.I smiled to say yes. His green eyes immediately brightened with joy and relief, but as he leaned in to kiss me a sound echoed in the church drawing everyone’s attention.We all looked towards the door, and there he stood. The man I love. I should have known Damien couldn’t resist not coming. I felt Reign stiffen beside me and reached out to touch him. “I am not going to change my mind,” I said softly. “In fact is too late,” I smiled up at him. His green eyes searched mine for any signs of regrets. He is not going to find any. I might not be in love with him but that doesn’t mean I regret marrying him. “I love you,” he mumbled and closed the gap between our two lips.

  • LOVE BY CONTRACT    Chapter 119: I lost her

    DAMIEN’S POV “Mmm!” I moaned at the softness of her lips, pressing my body hoarder against her softness as my lips ravaged her. A raging hunger like one I have never known before beseeched my body and my quickly hardening cock begged to sink into her warm welcoming softness. My hands moved up to palm her soft gloves the hardened pick tinging the centre of my palms as I gave it a hard squeeze, eliciting a soft erotic sound from the woman writhing against me with abandon. The soft pitch sound shot straight to my cock causing it to throb harder. My hips shot forward, thrusting against her centre in a bid for some relieve. I kissed her harder, losing all train of reasoning, with only one thought in my mind fucking the woman before me against the wall. I felt her slender hands on my chest pushing, but the motion took more than a second to register through my lust fogged up drain. It only occurred to me that Kamaria and I are no longer on the same page when she roughly snatched her lip

    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

    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

  • LOVE BY CONTRACT    Chapter 116: A painful decision

    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 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

  • LOVE BY CONTRACT    Chapter 114: Dealing with a lot

    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
