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

    Damon. Meanwhile. “Mr Brown! Mr Brown!” I heard someone repeatedly call as I got into my car, I looked up from the steering to see Collin walking hurriedly to catch up with me. I slowly pushed the door open and stepped out of the car, I slowly tucked my hands into my pocket as he got to me. “Please call me Damon,” I said to him, I wanted to smile at him but I really wasn’t even in the mood to smile. “I’m sorry,” he muttered trying to catch his breath. “I’m really sorry, I wanted to ask about Daphne, she wasn’t present at today’s meeting,” he said, I pressed my lips tightly against each other and nodded slowly. “How is she doing, I said a lot of mean stuff to her,” he said, I shook my head slowly and reached out to him placing my hands on his shoulders. “Actually those words needed to be said, Daphne is fine, she went back into therapy, she’ll be back when she’s better,” I said to him, he heaved a deep sigh of relief and nodded slowly. “I know I might be pushing my luck, but c

    Next day..9:30 amHarper.A small knock came on my door, I slowly looked up from my door to the laptop as it pushed open, Collin walked in with another lady behind him, she was well dressed in a short peach gown that stopped a little above her knee and a long blazer jacket that reached down to her ankle, on a white stilettos, her hair was packed up in a tight pony tail with curly tendrils on each side, she looked smart and quite cute.“Good Morning,” Collin greeted with a respectful bow and she did the same, I nodded muttering a greeting in reply also as I slowly leaned into my chair.“This is Leslie, she’ll be your new Personal assistant,” he continued, I slowly turned to look at her and she flashed me a nervous smile.“Good morning ma, I’m happy to be working with you, I promise to not just do my best but give it my all” she said, I nodded slowly at her with a small smile.“That’s fine, you’re welcome on board, Collin will brief you on all the things you have to do,” I said to her

    Meanwhile.Damon.“So will she be coming?” Daphne and Mom asked simultaneously, I was taken aback by their question, I raised my head muttering a shocked “ahn ahn” as I looked between the two of them.“I don’t understand,” I muttered.“You just said you were going to text her now, so what’s her reply?” Mom asked with a small shrug as she took her seat on the couch.“She said she’ll be around,”“But don’t put your mind to it,” I added immediately“Well you have to make sure she comes, because I’m expecting her now,” she said, I swallowed hard shaking my head slightly as I walk back to the dinning table to pick up my stuff.“When will you be leaving to see your therapist?” I asked Daphne, just as she was about to reply, the door bell rung, I turned to look at her from the dinning with raised brows, she sighed as she relunctantly got up from where she was seated and walked towards the door.“I’m actually late and I have a lot of things to do today,” I said to Mom as I packed up my thing

    Later that day …2:30pm …I picked up my phone, stared in it for a while and dropped it back on the table. I was contemplating whether or not to text Damon. This is just so funny, we are literally working together, it should not be weird to call him right.I picked up my phone again, scrolled towards his number and just as I wanted to text him, his message came in.-I think we need to talk, Harper. - The message read.-Sure- I texted back almost immediately, it took few minutes to reply to me and when he eventually did, he texted me the location where we were supposed to meet.I pushed my chair backwards immediately, picked up my bag from my table and headed out.Just as soon as I got to the entrance, the door bursted open and Mom dashed in.I paused in my tracks taken back my her sudden intrusion, I stepped backwards a little as she stormed towards me, immediately she got to me, before I could say anything, she raised her hands and slammed it hard on my face. I hissed lightly, my e

    Harper.Damon’s brows furrowed as he scrolled through my phone, I showed him the file that Mr Henry had just sent to me.“50 percent of this is a lie!” He muttered looking up at me, I held my lips firmly against each other, he stretched my phone towards me, I took it from him and gently placed it back in my clutch purse.“Really? Food poisoning? is that the best they can come up with?” He gritted out barely audibly but I still managed to hear him, he picked up his glass and downed the remaining content at once, He swallowed it his eyes squeezed closed, he slowly turned to me flapping his eyes back open.“This is obviously to cover up their crimes,” he muttered and I nodded slowly. I really wanted to know how he felt about this. This is a literal closed report, considering that his parents died more than twelve years ago. This report has been sealed and closed for more than a decade now, and apparently with legit documents and evidence to back it up. They even went as attaching a stam

    Harper.Damon wrapped his hands firmly around mine and even when I tried to let go of him, he held me tighter.“Mom, Harper is here,” he said raising his voice a bit higher as we approached the dinning table. She turned to us and I flashed her a bright smile immediately, she was looking as radiant as ever and I was grateful for my choice of outfit, seeing as everyone was dressed beautifully.“Hi ma,” I greeted gleefully, she dropped the glassware in her hands and walked towards me with her arms stretched out and a very warm and homey smile.“It’s so nice to see you honey, you look beautiful,” she whispered and my smile widened, even as she hugged me and disengaged from the hug, Damon didn’t let go of my hand.“You’re more beautiful Ma,” I replied and she chuckled lightly with a small blush waving her hands dismissively,“Ohh please, you can call me mom,” she said and I nodded with a small smile.“Yes Mom,” I replied, just then, Daphne walked down the staircase and towards us.“Oh Wow,

    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. Novan was also caught trying to kill Harper, and trust these little bastard to drag me right into the mud with them, they both became very sentimental and unreasonable after Michelle got pregnant.

    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
