||" Kristen Stewart "||My mother looked at me with the same surprised look I had on my face."Mama, Sky just said that my boss is on his way here to have lunch or brunch, I don't have any fucking idea," I said worriedly,"Language, watch your language lady," Mother chided,"My apologies mother, I just feel stressed and I thought it was going t9 be a rest day for me, but apparently not." I sighed, "Sky said it's supposed to be a secret, she was asked not to inform me about them coming,""Them?""So Sky will be coming with him, and I'm pretty sure Mr Vitali would be joining him too, Mr Vitali is the head of human resources, he is the one in charge of all the workers' well-being.""Oh, that makes sense. Then there is no need for us to sit around. Since we already know about them coming here, we should make good use of that information." Mother said,"What are you suggesting?" I asked,"Well, your boss is here to eat right?" She asks,"Yes, that is what I have been told,""Well then, let
||" Damien Troy "||I didn't know what to expect when I decided to go to Kristen's home. My anxiety rose even more when I arrived at the house.It was a beautiful complex building, with a beautiful garden that had only flowers. It smelled homely. It felt at home like I was home.Now that was a feeling I haven't felt in a while."Let's go inside sir," Sky said after she stepped out of the car."This is where Kristen lives with her mother?" I asked,"Yes, sir." Sky replied, "Is there a problem?"I shook my head, "There is no problem at all, but just curious, do they deal in flowers, why are there so many flowers in the garden?"Sky peered her eyes towards the garden and then smiled fondly. "Kristen has loved flowers since she was a child, so she plants them for pleasure and also for learning. She also experiments with them in her free time." She explained,I nodded in understanding,"I didn't know Kristen was that type of woman, I'm both surprised and impressed," Vitali added,I nodded
||" Kristen Stewart '||I rolled my eyes when Damien shrugged, it was the audacity he had for me, first of all, he comes to my house unannounced and now he is throwing words to provoke me.Tell me that isn't like the joke of the century.But I won't give him the satisfaction he wants, I will ignore him as I should…I glanced back at Vitali, "If you like it that much, I could sneak more from the fridge. My apologies though, it never occurred to me that other people will have similar tastes to my mum and me.""That will be very nice of you, Kristen. I knew you were the right choice for the job from the moment you stepped through the door of my office," He flattered, "I chuckled and smiled gratefully,"Thank you for giving me a chance then, Mr Vitali, honestly if you didn't give me that chance, I would have concluded that I was out of luck," I said,Damien scoffed,Vitali looked at him and then looked at me and grinned, "You are very talented, Kristen and also very…" He glanced at Damien
||" Damien Troy "||"Damien," I mumbled, "Would you please join us for a meal? Mother is a great cook, I'm sure you will like it."Her voice even though it sounded so reluctant sent shivers through my spine and I could not help the radiant smile that coursed through my body up to my face. I bent towards her until I was face to face with her, "Okay!" I muttered,I watched her nodding her head as she turned away from me and gestured her hands towards what I presumed is the way that leads to the dining, but I wasn't having that, not when I felt something flipping in the pit of my stomach. A very weird feeling."After you, Kristen, you should lead the way," I muttered,I shrugged when I noticed her glare on my face, well that was about it, she scoffed and started towards the dining and everyone else followed after her.We got to the dining table and I was surprised by the amount of food that was displayed on the dining table. There were varieties of dishes. They were meals that would take
||" Kristen Stewart "||"Damien, wait!!!" I blurted out, but Damien didn't wait, I have never seen him like that before, I have seen him angry, furious, feral and hell even horny but seeing like this was completely new to me.He looked broken.I wanted to chase after him but Vitali held me back, I looked at him surprised, "Why are you holding me back Vitali?""I think it's best if you let him be alone for now, the topic of his mother is a sensitive topic, a very sensitive topic, we never talk about it, like ever," He said, "When I got employed newly into the company by his father, I had on one occasion asked him about his wife, because I was just wondering why his spouse never visited him, I almost got fired that day, luckily for me, he loved my work, so he didn't just want to lose me,""I'm sorry, I didn't know it was like that, wouldn't have said anything if I knew," My mother spoke up, I could eyes looking glassy, I knew she was tearing u because just like Damien, she too had a sen
||" Damien Troy "||I arrived at my father's mansion after I left Kristen's place. Fear pricked my heart as I made my way through the hallways into my father's study.I knew what was waiting for me immediately after I set foot into that study, I knew it was unhealthy, but that was literally the least of my concern, all I wanted right now was that pain I hated so much.Sometimes words scar more than action, and sometimes action scar more than words but in my case, words scar more than actions. My mother's actions scared me but my father's prickly words scared me more and made me forget about my mother's scar.It was an unhealthy way of coping, I knew. My therapist drums it in my ear every time. I almost fired the last therapist when she made mention of this again, but I didn't want to, I just couldn't, she had been the fifth one just that month and she happened to be the most understanding of all of them, so I kept her.I knocked on my father's door, even though I knew he wasn't going
||" Kristen Stewart "||This night had to be the most restless night I have had this year, if not ever. I just tossed and turned in bed, sleep seemed to travel far away from me.I glanced at Sky who was deep asleep, not even wavering even after I kept tossing. She was a deep sleeper.I tried to call Damien but he didn't pick up any of my calls, nor did he reply to any of my messages. Vitali said he had dropped him off at his father's house.I couldn't help but wonder why he went back to his father's house, I could tell he wasn't really a fan of his father, so I was surprised when he went back there instead of going to his place or his friends.Something seemed off, I couldn't help but think about the sickling feeling that kept erupting in my stomach.I picked up my phone, it was one-thirty-five in the morning, and I have less than five hours before dawn, hmmm…I hummed as I scrambled off the bed, maybe a glass of drink won't be such a bad idea right now. I thought as I made my way to t
||" Damien Troy "||"You are taking Kristen to Russia? Why? I thought you weren't serious with her?" Jameson asked watching my face suspiciously,Jameson was my childhood friend or best friend, and also Alexis' boyfriend. Growing up I have come to gain many friends but no one comes close to my bond and friendship with Jameson.He knew everything about me just like I knew about him too."It's not what you think Jamie, it's more like I am trying to put her where she belongs, and sincerely it was a kind of last-minute decision," I said,"What do you mean last minute?" He asked,"Well, I hadn't really thought out that plan well…well until I met Alexis, then everything had just clicked in place," I started, "Did I tell you, Kristen has to be the most confusing of all the women I have been with, she is so much alike with Lucia but at the same time very different,""What do you mean?""I can't say exactly Jamie, I am still learning about her, but I know there is something there definitely, I
||" Kristen Stewart "||A Week Later•"Where did you go? I didn't see you throughout the morning, you weren't at the staff meeting either and you weren't picking up your calls?" I berated Sky who just strode into my office,"Chill out girl or woman." She giggled and I frowned even more, "Okay, my apologies. I was at the station, I was called there to give further statements on Lucia, and also Jason wanted to see me,""Oh,""Yeah. He asked me to set up a meeting with you…"No, thanks." I blurted out,"He wants to apologize for real this time, I definitely wouldn't force you to meet him of course but if you wanted to meet him," Sky sighed, "I wouldn't let you meet up with him alone.""I know that," I clarified, "I know all that but I'm not joking either when I said I don't want to meet him. He had asked Damien to fix us a meeting too and I still turned it down. I have already forgiven him, let's just keep it at that.There is no reason for us to meet and talk.""Okay, I get it. Your wis
||" Damien Troy "||"Kristen…?" Jason called, the look on his face careening,"No need to call her Jason, you too are part of this problem," I muttered, "You lied against her, she is your friend but you lied against her.""So what?" He snapped, "What if I lied? You say this is my fault but I put it to you that the fault is you! You fucking dumb Damien. I've waited years for that girl but just when I was ready, you showed up from nowhere and took over what rightfully belongs to me, I could ruin you where you stand Damien, but I'm not going to, you don't deserve to get ruined by my hands,"I scoffed, "Are you done throwing your tantrums?""What the fu…?""Jason, very bold of you to think that you are so smart," I smirked, then walked over to the cabinet that sits beside the TV stand and pulled out a folder. The folder contains all the information that The Four gathered about Jason's life over the years, especially his life in Dubai, his life before he left for Dubai, and even his intent
||" Kristen Stewart "||I glimmered with satisfaction the moment the doctor was ushered into the room by Sky.Everything would be exposed so how could I not be excited? I was worried for Damien but I knew he would be okay. It was hard drugs but I also noticed that he had been perspiring lightly, probably his body was already recovering from the drugs and was causing it to secrete sweat.It would cause him to be hydrated when he woke up though but it was a good thing.The doctor moved near and took his fingers and held them up, she then took a needle and pricked it just close to his nails, she took the bliss and put it on the container before placing it into what looked like a microscope of some sort.But I knew it wasn't a microscope though, probably a testing kit. She really came prepared.Anyway, I watched her meddle with the kit for about ten minutes before her eyes lit up, and she quickly looked up and rushed over to Mr. Troy."Sir there is content of high drugs in his system and
||" Sky Davis "||Of course, Damien had been drugged, that had to be the only explanation for his state right now. Even if he was a heavy sleeper, after the almost heated argument that has taken place in the living room, he would have at least stirred awake."You drugged him?" Kristen repeated the question,Lucia looked panicked, hell even Jason had the same panicked expression on his face, did he know about this too?"I can't help but wonder what his father whom you thankfully called would think when he knows you drugged his son," Kristen let out a pained chuckle,"Shut up! You don't know what you are talking about," Lucia drawled,"Oh please, it's obvious you drugged him. Damien would never have had sex with you when he knew I was just doors away," I spoke up,"You have been here all along?" Jason asked and I shrugged."How long has he been out? Don't you think we should call a doctor?" Kristen implored, "He was already stressed and you drugged him just to get him to have sex with y
||" Kristen Stewart "||I got lost in my thoughts after reading Sky's text message, she texted to inform me about Damien's return to the house, who according to Sky was accompanied by Lucia, along with some text I found rather offensive and discriminating.Those words involve my pregnancy and that pissed me the fuck up.Like you can say shits you want about me, but the nerves and the boldness to involve my pregnancy.Like what the actual fuck?!!I really hated that. I hated so many things, but accusing me wrongly was on top of that list and it turns out that was the crime they had decided to use against me. Well, bad idea, because I won't let it slide and I have a habit of exposing people that lie against me.From what I heard, one of those people happens to be this slimy bastard who I already regret the fact that I once had a crush on, a stupid crush and I definitely regret it.I will expose the truth, all of it, and not just for Damien who Sky says that he still trusts me but becaus
||" Damien Troy "||"I don't believe those photoshopped pictures you are showing to me, if this is the reason why Jason left, just to prove such an unnecessary point that I'll like you to tell him that he failed." I retorted even though deep down I was literally panicking.I had left Kristen in the house, and I told her to wait for me, I know I have stayed out later than I intended, but Kristen isn't the time to go rock her body with Jason just because I hadn't returned home.But what is the possibility that Kristen is still at home at this moment?"Son, if you are that trusting of her then maybe you should call her," Father suggested, it was a nice idea but the outcome isn't plausible because I have been ignoring her calls too and Kristen might just get angry and refuse to pick my calls either.But I still took out my phone and called her anyway, it would be good if she doesn't pick up and even better if she picks, I thought as I dialed her number but unfortunately, the outcome was n
||" Kristen Stewart "||"He is still not back, Sky," I said, mortified as I returned back to the living room for the umpteenth time."You need to calm down, Kristen. Panicking like this isn't good for your condition, same with you pacing around like this." Sky berated, "For all we know, maybe he is just busy with the father. Didn't you say that he went to see his father? Maybe his father has sent him on errands. Come and sit down, you called for me to come to keep you company but you aren't paying attention to me.""Sorry, I'm so sorry,' I mused, "I just feel so unsettled, I don't know why too. But my gut feelings are telling me something is wrong.""And maybe your gut feelings are right, but they could also be wrong." Sky said, "And truthfully, even if something was wrong, there is nothing you would be able to do about it right now. Just calm down okay? I am here, everything will be alright."I nodded, then slumped on the couch, even though my instincts were going haywire, I tried ha
||" Damien Troy "||I tried to conceal the curious and excited look on my face as I drove back to the house with Kristen. It didn't help that she was holding onto my hands, the action was both domesticated and surprising. It was the first time she has done acts like that."Sorry, I had to call you over so urgently," I uttered as we drove."Shh," Kristen whispered while doing her hand gesture of me shutting up, "I am enjoying the silence. We will talk when we are home and just for the record, I am not angry at all. I'm glad you called me."I nodded because I understood the feeling of what she was saying, I felt the same emotions too, I felt good that she was here all through this.I felt justified.We drove quietly, and something kind of made me realize that we were definitely going to skip work today. I don't know what Kristen wanted to talk to me about but it sounded serious and by the way, her hand was sweaty while she held my hands showed that she was nervous too.What did she want
||" Kristen Stewart "||"You should come inside," Damien said and I nodded and stepped inside the house. I tried not to succumb to the feelings of panic in my heart, whatever the problem is, I will find out when I step inside the house, and hopefully, we will find a way around it.I just hoped it was another case of a woman having a miscarriage because of Damien, I wouldn't know how to handle a situation like that."Sit down, let me get you something to drink," Damien said and walked towards the direction of his kitchen. I noticed someone else was sitting down on the couch, a woman, she seemed familiar, so apparently, this is really about a woman.I didn't know how to feel about that.But I was already here, so I have to face whatever it is either way."Hi," I said as I walked past the lady to take a seat, I still haven't looked at her yet,"Hi," She said, I knew that voice. Doraemon? Or Lucia rather, I thought as I turned to look at her, and true to my thoughts it was really her. Wha
