LOVE BY CONTRACT Chapter thirty seven: Punishing her
DAMIEN POVI took deep gulp of my drink before telling him everything. "Wow!" Paul exclaimed when I was done, like my life was some kind of opera. I guess it is, a little bit. Ex wife back from the dead living in the same city as me with my kid that I thought I will never see again. "So what are you going to do?" Paul poured himself a drink. "Thought it is still too early for a drink," I teased, arching a brow at him. "Well your take calls for a drink, and stop stalling with my question." "I wasn't stalling, and I know what I want to do." "Which is?" "To get my kid back." "You are going to fight for custody?" "Yes, total custody," I said my features growing hard. "Why total custody? Isn't that a bit much? We could loose," Paul gave me a worried look. "That is why I am here, I want you to lead my father's team of lawyers and make sure that we don't loose. And you don't have to worry, I don't Kamaria will be able to afford a team of lawyers of our calibre." "But why are you g
LOVE BY CONTRACT Chapter thirty eight: Was it a mistake
DAMIEN POVAs I drew closer to the door I could hear voices speaking inside. They were whining and moaning about the contract. I opened the door and walked in. Just like outside their jaws dropped at my presence. "Boss, what are you doing here?" My creative director enquired while his team looked at each other as if they could figure out the reason for my presence on each other's face. They do look worried, which I must say they have a good reason to be. I took out my phone and called the head of HR. "Hello, sir," he voice came on immediately. "I want you to send out advert for a new creative director, and this time I will be conducting the interview." I ended the call before the man on the other end could say something and then turned to face the now fired director. He looked flummoxed, like he couldn't believe what was happening. He should have seen it coming. Losing to an upcoming company. What an embarrassment. "In case you somehow didn't catch what that was. You are fired!
LOVE BY CONTRACT Chapter thirty nine: The way he looks at you
KAMARIA POV "Damn girl, did you add a ton, these past few days?" Jonathan teased setting Davina back on her feet while setting the girl off again. "You know Uncle Jonathan, you are not supposed to talk about a ladies weight," Davina teased back with a mock stern expression that broke down at the surprised look on Jonathan's face. "I am sorry, my fine lady," Jonathan bowed his head at her, making her crackle some more. "Morning mum," Davina joined us at the couch giving me a kiss, before moving on to Reign and then Bobby. "Morning, Princess," Bobby smiled at my baby girl. "What are you all doing here?" Before anyone could answer a loud rumble broke the brief silence. The rumble was so loud that we felt the ground underneath our feet shake. All eyes turned to gawk at my daughter who looked as if her face had been set on fire. "I am hungry," she whispered with a sheepish expression on her face and we all bursted into laughter. "Come on squint I will make you something," Reign go
LOVE BY CONTRACT Chapter forty: Made a mess of things
KAMARIA POV This is the first time I am going to see my parents after ten years there was no way I was going with a man in tow. We finished our breakfast while chatting and laughing with each other. To an outsider it looked like such a domestic scene. After we were done with breakfast I sent Davina off to pack her things while Reign and I cleaned up. "Does your decision have anything to do with what happened yesterday?" I nodded. "Partially," I added. He gave me a questioning look, which I answered. "I need to see my parents, I can't keep pushing it off, and this gives me the perfect excuse to do it." He nodded with nothing on his face. "I hope you know I am here if you need my help." "I know," I said softly. "How long do you plan to stay?" "I will stay till you come back." "And the office in London?" "I think they can manage without me for few days, that is how long your trip will take?" I looked away. I don't know. I know running away isn't the answer but I wasn't sur
LOVE BY CONTRACT Chapter forty one : Can we talk
DAMIEN POVThis time my call was answered immediately. "Set the date for the interview next tomorrow," I barked into the phone and ended the call. That settled I got down to what I really have today which is chasing down investors, and convincing those who are threatening to pull out because of how poorly we are doing in the profit department to stay put. By the time lunch rolled around I was able to convince two out of three of the investors not to pull out their resources from the company and got one new investor whom I promised dinner some day. I stood from desk and stretched out the kinks in my cooped up muscles. I have been sitting all day. My eyes caught on the picture of Lily and I on my desk and I decided to pay her a visit at her work place. Maybe we can go out to lunch together. I picked up my suit jacket and headed for the door. "I am going out," I threw at my secretary when I passed her. Lily has a shoot this morning at a site not too far from the company and that is
LOVE BY CONTRACT Chapter forty two: Being back home
DAMIEN POVI entered my car and drove off, heading straight to her house. I didn't know what I was going to do when I get there, but I was too mad to care. When I got to her address I was amazed at her house. I wondered how she could afford such a beautiful house. I stayed in the car and contemplated a bit whether what I was about to do was the right thing or not. When I realised I didn't give a fuck if it was right or not I stepped out of the car and headed towards the house. I pressed the door bell and then waited. I was patient enough for about a second before I was back to pressing the door bell again, this time harder. I stopped with the door bell when I heard footstep drawing closer to the door. The door rattled as it was being opened and then it opened and I looked up expecting to see Kamaria's face, but it wasn't. What the fuck is he doing here?! Was the the first thing that flashed through my mind when my eyes fell into his.“Where is she?” I demanded entering into his
LOVE BY CONTRACT Chapter forty three: Where is mum?
KAMARIA POV Another wave of nostalgia shot through my chest as I stepped into the living room. It still smells like my mother's cookies. Her favourite comfort food. She loves to make them, especially on weekends. "Where is mum?" It was odd that she didn't come out to greet us when we arrived. Mum always goes where dad goes. "She is not around," dad didn't look at me when he spoke. I frowned. His response sounded vague. "Did she go to the market?" "No," he answered coldly but still wouldn't say where she went. I was about to probe but Thomas entrance with our bags cut me off. "Where should I take this Mr Paisley?" Dad turned to look at me. "I had no idea you were coming so I didn't prepare anything for you. Your daughter can take your old room, while you take the guest room, though it needs some cleaning." His voice though not accusing was still reserved, and I couldn't dodged this feeling that he is blaming me for something, maybe it is my guilty conscience talking. It is certa
LOVE BY CONTRACT Chapter forty four: She is dead
KAMARIA POV He didn't answer and carried on like I didn't say anything. His silence was beginning to irritate me. "Why can't you just tell me where she is!" I yelled, did you two get a divorce? He scoffed as if it was a ridiculous idea. Which it is, because I know how much my parents love each other. "Then tell me, please dad." "She is dead." Everything inside me went still, like I have been drenched with a bucket of cold water. I couldn't breathe, I couldn't speak. Dead! My phone started ringing shattering the tensed shocking silence in the room. I was so frozen in my shock that I ignored the ringing phone, but it wouldn't stop ringing. "I think you should answer, might be something important." What is more important than my mother being dead. I did as he asked. Like a mindless zombie I raised the phone to ear after I picked. "Hello," my voice sounded hollow. "He was here," Reign spoke frantically into the phone breaking into my frozen state. I blinked severally to pull m
