Harper.

Later that night.

9:00am, Dinner.

“It’s actually a good investment Mom, I’ve looked into it,” I heard Michelle say to mom, I paused in my tracks immediately deciding to listen to their conversation for a while.

“Are you sure about this Michelle, it’s looking too good to be true,” Mother replied and I slowly walked in closer to be able to hear well.

“There’s nothing too good to be true about it, don’t you trust my judgement anymore? I’ve looked into it and it’s fair enough, it’s good business, after a few months I’ll get my interest back,”

“But you don’t have this much money Michelle,”

“I used my Shares as Collateral what’s business without taking risks ,” she replied, that was enough that I wanted to hear, I cleared my throat immediately and stepped in, immediately I stepped in they stopped talking and changed their conversation, I shook my head with a knowing smile as my heels clicked the tiles sophisticatedly, I could tell mom was checking me out as I took my seat on the di

    Damon.Meanwhile.“Makesure you fix everything that might be wrong and let me know the cost,” I said to the mechanic, he nodded slowly as he took the keys I stretched out to him, I told him to pick up the car at my office and with that he turned around and walked out of my house.“What’s wrong with your car again?” Daphne asked as she walked into the living room with a plate of cashew nut and casually took her seat on the chair going in first with her legs.I raised my lips up at her in a sneer at what she just did, “Such a classless girl,” I said to her she raised her brows at me and hissed loudly as she picked up another nut on her plate and chewed on it noisily.“Look who is talking,” she muttered.“What’s wrong with your car though,” she asked as she sunk further into the chair and picked up the television remote.“It’s actually not my car, it’s Harper’s “ I replied, she gently dropped the plate she was holding on a bedside stool and propped her head forward towards me.“How come

    Harper.Next day, 8:00am I gently took out my phone from my bag and stepped out of my apartment locking the door behind me, I was already late and I still haven’t ordered an Uber, I headed towards the elevator as I tried to order an Uber, it was rush hour so getting one wasn’t so easy.Immediately the elevator got downstairs, I stepped out and began to make my way out of the compound, I stopped in shock at the sight in front of me.“Good Morning!” Damon beamed waving his hand at me from where he stood next to his car, I rolled my eyes to the back of my head with a deep exhale and made my way over to him.“What are you doing here!” I asked, he just stared at me with a small smile, giving me time to look over his face like it was my first time seeing him, he really did look different today I guess it was because he was on a clean shave and it suited him perfectly, I snapped out of the thought immediately I realized the direction my mind was headed.“Why are you smiling, what’s funny?”

    Damon.Meanwhile.“Please put a hold on that and attend to the file I just sent you,” I said to my secretary over the phone and with that I removed the receiver from my ear and slammed it against the board, with a deep exhale I sat up straight on my chair and gently drew my laptop closer. My personal phone began to ring, I paused and stretched out to the far left of my table to pick it up, it was a call from Daphne, I swiped on the receiver button before answering it.“We got a mail from DMW, they’d like to meet as soon a possible to discuss terms of service,” she said to me over the phone. My lips stretched into a smile as I watched her take her seat in front of me, for a moment I never doubted Harper’s alliance with us and finally I can see all of my hard work over the years panning out successfully.“What’s next,” I heard her ask softly, my grip on my phone tightened and I exhaled deeply.“Just follow my step, one day at a time, that’s what’s next” I replied, I heard her hum a re

    Collin.“Can I speak to her?!” I asked Damon surprising even myself, Harper actually sent me here to get her car, however it is and send it to her own mechanic.“Sure” Damon replied, I slowly turned around and went through the route Daphne took, she happened to be seated on a bench behind the company, I could hear her whimpering and I approached her with caution, with my hands behind me I gently walked up to her and took my seat beside her .I couldn’t tell if she was unaware of my presence, or she was aware and just decided to ignore me, I cleared my throat softly to make my presence known but she still did not turn to face me.“You were not the one getting yelled at but you’re the one crying,” I said, she finally raised her head and turned to look at me, her eyes was red and swollen with tears but I still didn’t miss the irritated glance she passed me.“And who the hell are you,” she asked, I was a little bit taken aback by her question, we have seen more than once and although we

    Damon.I gently pushed the door to Daphne’s office open and I slowly walked in, I saw her storm into her office earlier, Collin seemed to have made the situation a bit more worse.She was seated on the couch in her office, her legs crossed in front of her and her hands folded across her chest.She slowly turned to look at me across the room as I closed the door behind me,“Are you okay, Daphne?” I asked softly as I walked up to her and took my seat beside her turning slightly to look at her.Her face looked dull and swollen, she slowly unfolded her hands across her chest and turned to look at me,“Damon, am I a bad person?” She asked, I reached forward immediately and took her hands in mine, placing our entwined hands on her laps,“Ofcourse not, who said that to you” I asked calmly my grip around her hands getting tighter, she shook her head slowly and tears began to fall off her face again, she shut her eyes tightly and exhaled deeply as she slowly opened up her eyes and turned to l

    Harper.Yeah, I got the mail, what I was asking about is you, how are you? How was your day?”“Well I’ll tell you how my day went first,”“It wasn’t a typical hectic day though, but it was eventful, first I got the DMW mail, I found myself .. “ I stared at his lips as I watched him speak, nobody has ever bothered or cared to ask how my went or in details like this for that matter.I did not even know what to say, or how to go about telling someone about my day.“What about you? How was your day?” I heard him ask again and I slowly turned to look at him..“M-my h-huh, m-my my day went well!” I stuttered in reply, I looked in his face trying to read his facial expression but I could, I held my lips tightly together, I swallowed hard and looked away.“Your fiancé visited me today though,” he said, immediately he said that my curiousity piqued and I turned to look at him.“Novan?” I asked just to be sure.“Any other fiancé I don’t know about?” He asked in reply, I rolled my eyes to the ba

    Harper.Next day, Morning …“How is it getting another assistant going?!” I asked Collin, he gently pushed his chair backwards, got up to his feet and adjusted his tie.“Uhmm, a lot of applicants has sent in their applications, would you like to join me for the interview tomorrow?” He asked, I shook my head immediately at his question.“No, just go ahead and pick someone, I trust your judgement,” I said to him, his lips stretched into a smile and he nodded slowly, he picked up his tablet from the table and turned out to leave,“The meeting would be starting soon, you should get ready,” Collin said and the very thought that had been nagging in my head and I have been struggling to push away came rushing back into my head.For some reasons or should I say plenty reasons that I’m quite aware of, I could not seem to get Damon out of my head, as a matter of fact I could not sleep peacefully yesterday night.His lips against mine would not stop appearing in my head, I could still taste him

    Harper.“Harper” he whispered softly, his voice barely above a murmur. His eyes searching mine as if seeking something he couldn’t quite put into words. His touch around my waist was oddly satisfying, his closeness to me and his sweet smelling cologne swirled together overwhelming my senses. My heart raced betraying my attempt to maintain composure.“I saw you leave the hall in a hurry, are you okay?!” He asked, I took a shallow breath and pulled myself away from him.“I’m fine,” I muttered walking away from him, I could hear the click of his shoe against the tile and I knew he was coming after me.“Is it just me Harper or you’re giving me an attitude,” he said, I gently turned to face him as I got to my table, folded my hands across my chest and looked up at him. My lips pressed lightly against each other and my brows slightly raised.“What attitude?” “I thought we had gone past this Harper, we kissed!” He said.“And?” I replied with a shrug, his brows furrowed and he stepped clos

    One months later .Harper.As Damon and I walked out of the wedding reception hall, hand in hand, the sound of cheers and applause surrounded us. The air was filled with excitement, love, and celebration as our family and friends gathered around, clapping and throwing rose petals into the air. My heart pounded in my chest, the reality of what we had just accomplished sinking in—we were finally married. After all had been said and done, I was finally spending the rest of my life with the man I loved the most.I looked up at him, my husband, and he gave me that smile, the one that made my knees weak every time. It felt surreal. After everything we had been through to get here, after all the obstacles and moments of doubt, we had made it. We were bound together, forever.The cool evening breeze hit my face as we stepped outside, but all I could feel was the warmth radiating from his hand in mine. Our family followed close behind, their joyful laughter echoing around us as they took pict

    Five days later. Geraldine.I paced through the bustling terminal of the international airport, I was putting on sunglases and an oversized hoodie and sweatpants to hide my identity.I had carefully been planning my escape, I had prepared these travel documents a long time ago as plan B, I used my maiden name nobody ever knew me as. Two days ago, Michelle was arrested, the investigations Harper began were finally completed, also she happened to have been involved in Damon’s Ex plans, she was taken into custody alongside Jade awaiting trial.

    4:00pmDamon. “Harper was dismissed?!” I repeated immediately Collin mentioned it, he nodded slowly in response to my words and he went on to explain how it happened.“Shit!” “How is she ?! Is she doing fine?!” I asked as I looked up at Rose.“Obviously not, she’s still in her feelings and she says she just wants to be alone,” Rose replied.“How can she just want to be alone, someone has to be with her,” I said, she shook her head slowly.“No I think she should be left alone,” Rose said, I exhaled deeply and leaned into the chair, I dipped my hands in my hair ruffling it slightly. “What do we do guys, honestly we channeled all our effort in one direction, we didn’t have any plan B,” I muttered, Rose sat up straight in her chair looking between Collin and I.“There’s someone I’ll like you to meet,” she muttered and almost immediately the door open revealing Lisa and someone else behind her, “Thank you Lisa,” Rose said, she responded with a slight bow and with that she turned arou

    Meanwhile, that same morning.Damon. I parked in front of the Jade apartment, I stepped out of my car and dashed to her front porch, I banged my hands on her door continuously, my patience waning by the second. The door went open, without even letting her say a word I violently pushed the door wider and walked in, she flinched lightly as she let go of the door knob and stepped away immediately. “It was you! You did this!”“You saw that I was drunk and you took advantage of me!” I yelled the veins in my neck popping out, she scoffed as she slowly folded her hands around her chest, “I took advantage of you?! Everyone saw the video and it seems to be the other way around,” “Your hands were all over me, you couldn’t get enough of me! You enjoyed it as much as I did!”“Can’t you see Damon?! We are meant to be, you love me,” she muttered stepping close to me, as she raised her hands to my chest, I angrily grabbed her hands and twisted it behind her,“Oww, that hurts!” She squeaked and

    (Immediately after the meeting)Rose. “Have you found Michelle?!!” I paused in my tracks, my hands slowly loosened around the knob to Geraldine’s office , I stepped close and pressed my ear against the door“No ma’am, she’s not at her place , Novan is confused also, her friend’s apartment have been under locks for a while, I guess they ran away together,” “Leslie at this point I don’t need any negative answers from you, you should do your job perfectly,” I raised my hands over my mouth immediately she mentioned the name of the person she was having a conversation with. Oh my God! Who would have thought! Leslie?!“What about Harper?! Anything I need to know?!”“Ma’am Everything is under control, you’ve ruined all their evidences against you, at the moment everything is going south for them,”“Good! Now get back to your work station before anybody suspects anything,” I heard Geraldine say, I immediately stepped away and hurried over to the next passage way, after some seconds, I peak

    Next Day Damon.My eyes slowly fluttered open, the moment I opened my eyes I felt a banging ache in my head, I winced in pain as I raised my hands to my head and rubbed my forehead slowly, I slowly sat up on the sofa where I was seated. There was a glass of alcoholic wine and a cup on the floor, I mistakenly kicked the glass with my legs but luckily it didn’t break. I looked down at my self, my shirt was undone, even the zip of my pant trousers, I exhaled deeply, the pain in my head still as prevalent as ever, just how much did I have to drink yesterday. I picked up my phone laying carelessly on the floor and stared in it, 07:00 am. It was already morning, I’m sure some workers would have arrived, I buttoned up my shirt and dressed up properly, I wanted to pick up my laptop bag but I decided against it, I’ll be coming back to the office very soon, I just wanted to go home and get changed, and come back to the office. I picked up my jacket and headed out of the office. “Ohh!” Lisa s

    Damon.9:00pm I didn’t even know what to think right now, my head was empty, very empty, I already drank every single thing in my head away. I was dead drunk, I don’t usually drink talk more of getting drunk but with everything that had been happening recently I drank way more than my liquor limit. I’m amazed at the fact that I was able to drive without getting into an accident. I slowly looked up at the building I was parked in front of, ohh shit! The office. How can I be here, I really thought I was driving home and had gotten home. Ohh boy, I might as well pass the night here, I pushed the door open, staggered out barely keeping my acts together, I almost fell but I quickly grabbed onto the car door to steady myself, I squeezed my eyes shut tightly hoping to steady all the images spiralling before my eyes but I couldn’t, I gave up, slammed the door shut, locked it and headed into the office. Everyone had locked up and gone home, I fumbled with the lock for quite some minutes befo

    Harper.“You misplaced the drive?!” Mr Henry exclaimed over the phone, I dipped my hands in my hair and ruffled it rigorously, pacing my office aimlessly. “I’ll make sure to find it I promise,”“There’s no need for that, Geraldine just left my office, she had it and she has destroyed it,” he said, I paused in my tracks immediately and looked up.“What!”“Yes! Obviously,”“But who could have told her about it,” he exhaled, I exhaled deeply and slowly dropped on to the sofa behind me,“That’s the thing! I have no idea,” I sighed frustratingly, I heard him exhale deeply over the phone,“Okay, let’s talk later, I’ve got to go” he said, I nodded slowly as I gently removed the phone from my ear and dropped it on the table. Just then the door opened and Collin walked in, “Harper ..”“Mr Henry just called,” I said cutting Collin off, he stepped forward and propped closer to me,“What did he say?!”“That we shouldn’t bother searching for it, Geraldine destroyed it right in front of his eye

    Meanwhile.Michelle.“Tell me why you haven’t been picking up my calls!”I looked up to see Novan barge into my hospital room and slammed the door behind me, I rolled my eyes to the back of my head, obviously he’d be able to enter now, I sent the guy my mom out to monitor me on an endless exhausting errand, he paused in his tracks and looked up at me,“You’re packing, you’re leaving?! Did the doctor say you can leave?!” He asked all at once, I ignored him and kept on packing my things, I didn’t want to stay here anymore, it’s no longer safe for me, I want to leave. “Atleast tell me where you’re going!” He said as he grabbed my hands and turned me to face him, I bit the insides of my lips and snatched my hands away from him, I looked around the room, immediately I sighted the CCTV camera, I took off my platform slippers and aimed it at it, I didn’t miss, the CCTV camera came shattering down, “I’m going somewhere safe!” I finally said as I walked up to where I threw my slippers , pick
