DAMONThe voices came as usual screeching loudly in my head, I didn't want to worry Elisa that's why I insisted we should keep on dancing.Plus, if she asks me questions it would be difficult for me to provide the answers.I really regret that we wouldn't be able to make the most out of tonight.I wanted to officially ask her to be my wife, I don't mind us doing a second wedding as well.“She will leave you.” The voices screeched, I could feel the skin crawling on touch on my body, causing me to tremble involuntarily.“Damon, you're trembling, just stop.” Shit, she noticed.“Are you mad? Let's go home then, but first I really want to thank you for this.” She could have just confessed normally it would still be the same, but the fact she put in such efforts touched me.I don't mean to make her angry.She murmured something underneath her breath, before coming to my side to assist me.“Can you walk?” For some reason, as she came closer, the voices stopped.“I said I'm fine.” I repeated
SONG RECOMMENDED; I WANNA BE YOURS BY ARCTIC MONKEYSELISA"Hey honey." I greeted Damon as I stepped into the kitchen, sitting down on the barstool, watching Damon move around.He was not wearing a top, only some sweatpants and an apron."Good morning darling." He moved swiftly to my side, kissing me on the forehead before going back to what he was doing.It was a weekend, and we both decided to clear our schedules to hang out together."I'm making your favourite, crepes and pancakes.""Ohhh, sounds nice." I rubbed my hands together in excitement."I should make us some coffee then." I stood up ready to get to work."No coffee." Damon disagreed sternly.He was busy with the pancakes and had his back turned at me yet he turned me down so sternly.An idea came to my head making me smile."Why?" I asked using a cute voice as I popped my head in front of him but he just frowned only throwing a glance at me."Back away, the pan is hot." Arghh, why was he being so difficult?"But I haven't
REINAI hate Elisa, I hate her so much I get the urge to puke anytime I see that darn face of hers.She thinks she is all that having rich parents and all.Just because I'm her cousin's best friend gave her the ick so much.Jenna and I basically grew up together, my mother was her nanny so I got to hang around Jenna and also Elisa.At first I admired their wealth and everything, but seeing the presidential treatment they got because of it sickened me.They got whatever they wanted whenever they wanted it.It was annoying and disgusting.I on the other hand had to wait every month for my mother to receive her income just so we could meet up with daily necessities.Jenna was sweet and all so it was easy befriending her, but as for Elisa, she just thinks she owns the entire world.Because of what happened at the wedding, my mom was fired.Recollecting that made me pissed, my grip on my wine glass tightened, I would make that Elisa bitch pay."My dear what are you thinking?" Jenna's dad,
ELISA"Sweetie, are you done?" Damon yelled from the living area and I yelled back a confirmation.Quickly, I grabbed my purse from the vanity table before walking out."I'm ready." I announced, stepping into his view and he looked absolutely starstruck to see me."I married the most beautiful woman in the world." He complimented making my face heat up."Thank you, you're suit fits you well." I offered my genuine compliment and he flicked my forehead."Nice one, haha." He faked a laugh then acted angry.Was it because I made him wear the colour purple?"Oh, is the royal highness mad he doesn't have to go sporting his black suit about." I mocked and he just rolled his eyes at me.I was about to say something more when I heard gagging sounds in front of us.It was Justin, I know I said I would like him if we met after he sent that picture but the only thing I want to do with him right now was throw him off a cliff."That's disgusting." He commented, but I just held onto Damon's arm tigh
REINAI smirked as I watched Elisa fall to the ground.The high and mighty Elisa, now weak and defenseless before me, I can do anything to her now and get away with it.Crouching to the floor, I slapped her hard on the cheek, her face swelling at the impact."How does it feel to be the one at my mercy now, huh?" I asked, feeling satisfied with the bruise I left behind.With a low tsk, I dragged her into one of the cubicle in case someone decided to come into the bathroom, then exchanged our clothes and slipped her ring onto my finger.By now Damon must have been fed with his own dose of drug, all I need it for him to be lured into the room and for me to show up.He would be mostly drowsy and won't be able to tell the difference between Elisa and I.Our bodies were almost similar after all, I'll just wear a mask to cover my face.When I was done exchanging our clothes, I went to the toilet's main door and knocked on it three times.It took a while but then the knob turned and Thomas or
DAMON POVI stared at Elisa interacting with Amber and that man from a distance, my mind was in a fog."Is the big man jealous?" Justin popped out of nowhere interrupting my thoughts."Don't you have better things to do?" I asked coldly, I was not in the mood to deal with his shenanigans."Well, Jenna was dragged off by her aunt who wanted to show her to some young masters, she bragged Eli currently has a successful marriage due to her matchmaking skills."His tone sounds like he was sulking."That doesn't answer my question." I shrugged, taking a glass of wine from the waiter passing by.After a sip, my tongue touched the roof of my mouth repeatedly, something tasted off with it."Have a sip of this, does it taste normal to you?" I asked Justin basically forcing the drink down his throat.He coughed the moment I released him, shooting a glare at me while I shrugged."So does it taste okay?" I questioned once more tilting my head to observe him."It tastes like any normal wine you psy
ELISA POVMy head was throbbing slightly, as I struggled to open my eyes.What the fuck happened to me?The memories slowly came back as I remembered meeting Reina and then blacking out.Could she have held me hostage or something?Deciding to gauge my situation, I opened of my eyes slightly then I saw a familiar face that scared the crap out of me.Thomas? What was he doing here? Did he see Reina drag me here and then came to help?I should not conclude and watch him silently, I was taken aback when he suddenly jumped on the bed staring at me intently.Did he figure it out?Shit, what could he be up to?"Eli, I know you're awake no need to pretend." He said, brushing the hair on my face away, and gently tucking it behind my ear."Fine." I sat upright looking around the room, it seems like I was in a hotel room."Why are we here?" I decided to ask as I couldn't keep deliberating the answer."Why do you think?" He snorted getting off the bed making me furrow my brows."Thomas." I calle
ELISA"Hello." I called out into the darkness frowning for a bit, I was pretty sure I was on the bed few moments ago."Damon?" I called out once more starting to feel a bit uneasy.The darkness gave me this eerie feeling."Fuck." I cursed underneath my breath rubbing my arms due to the goosebumps I had.A chill ran down my spine as I felt someone breathing down my neck.My back stiffened as I gulped cautiously, fear starting to creep inside me."Who are you?" I asked after gathering some courage.He probably knows what I'm doing here.Or even where here is."He loves you a lot no matter what, how about you? Is it the same for you?" A chilling voice sounded and something in human form but black smoke.Like it literally had smoke trailing behind every step it took, it's eyes were bright Amber colour something that was very rare."I haven't been able to reach you because that brat placed that ring on you." It said, moving round me in circles."What do you mean? What's all this?" I quest
ELISA"Today is the day." I muttered to myself pacing about the living room when I felt a tug on my arm, then I came crashing onto Damon's legs."Relax, love." He cooed rubbing my back gently."How are you not worried?" I questioned, why was I the only one feeling this anxious, I wondered as my foot tapped the ground relentlessly."Well darling, my mind is pretty much occupied right now, if you don't mind me, I can help take your mind off it as well."Hearing his words, I went rigid turning slowly to look at my husband to see if he was the same person who was acting pious and refused to touch me previously, it's like a switch flipped."I'm serious." I punched his shoulder, while he chuckled, stopping abruptly to stare at me intently with his chin resting on my shoulder."I know." His words came to a pause as he gathered my two hands in his, before looking back into my eyes."Jewel, I've watched you pour your heart into this for the past week, have believe in your handwork, okay? no on
RATED 18ELISAI arrived in front of the conference room, Freddy waiting for me outside.My heart felt uneasy, I was late and I did not bring anyone but Amber with me.Dealing with strangers can be stressful.Being informed only 30 minutes before the time, I did not have enough time to gather my people, so I just rushed here instead.A curt nod was directed at Freddy as a greeting while he responded with a deep bow, opening the door for me."Good day Mrs Thorne." He greeted, it still felt weird hearing people call me by that name though.Taking in a deep breath, I walked into the conference room, and I could see everyone was seated already.I bit my inner lip trying to maintain my composure.I wasn't nervous, I just hated the fact that I was this late."I apologize for my tardiness." I bent my head slightly, before taking my seat, one farthest from Damon.His gaze has been trained upon me since I walked in, but I do not want to look at him.Currently we have a business issue to deal w
RATED 18 CONTENT WOULD APPEAR LATER IN THIS CHAPTER, READ WITH CAUTION.REINA"I'm here honey." My 'sweet' voice resonated throughout out the apartment but it was met with no response.What could the old man be doing?Taking off my shoes, I headed straight to the living area to see the old man sitting on the couch deep in thoughts.I only left him for few days and he suddenly looked like he had aged 50 years more."Sweet heart, what's wrong?" My voice came out soft and gentle, as I sat down beside him, rubbing my hand on his lap in a bid to comfort him."I might have made the wrong choice." A mutter left his lips causing me to frown.Taking a detailed glance at him, I noticed his gaze was fixated forward and following the trace, I saw an envelope sitting there on the coffee table.Not asking for permission, I grabbed the envelope and pried it open to see a document stating he has been called to court for a divorce hearing.Apparently so he could compensate for emotional damage."What'
REINAI kept refreshing the official page of both Thorne and Gilbert's empire, why aren't they saying anything yet?"Argghhhhhhh." I screamed, throwing my phone at the coffee table."Seems your plan wasn't all that great in the end." Derrick scoffed, puffing smoke out of his mouth."This is your fault, you probably stole the wrong documents.""Woman, watch the way you speak to me." He threatened in a low voice but I just rolled my eyes."Whatever." I stated before falling back into my chair, rocking it slowly."Even if this doesn't work, hopefully they would have fought after that text." "You think Damon will fall for that?""What would you do if your so called dear Mira comes home, reeking with another man's perfume." I jabbed him and he just raised his brows, crushing his cigarette into the ash tray beside him."Mira is pregnant, even if she had given birth, no man wants a woman with baggage." He explained calmly making me cringe.Such a misogynistic fool."So what's your next plan
ELISAI don't know what's going on with Damon, and honestly, I was worried.In the end, instead of leaving I stayed by the door and ended up falling asleep.The scene of Damon dying haunting me in my dreams, seeing him laying on the floor like that must have triggered it.By the time I opened my eyes, I was in my room laying on my comfy bed and not the cold hard floor.A small smile settled on my lips as I rolled to one side, feeling giddy- it was still 5am, I don't know if I could go out now.I curled up my body into a ball lost in my thoughts.What if Damon treats me the same way he did last night?But he won't have brought me into the bedroom if he wants to keep treating me coldly.I don't understand the act at all.He was clearly in pain, yet he was pretending to be okay.Same thing happened at the restaurant that day.No, I shouldn't be thinking about this right now.My main focus should be on the new jewelry set.But that involves Damon as well, I'm pretty sure there would be an
DamonIt was a long agonizing period till Dawn finally came.A weak sigh escaped my lips as the voices in my head slowly faded off and the headache reduced.When I felt a bit of energy return to me, I stood up using the sink as support before facing the mirror directly, staring at my reflection.I had eye bags underneath my eyes, well that's what I get for not sleeping well for days.Washing my face, I turned the knob and exited the toilet, my leg hitting something which made me frown.I don't remember placing anything at the entrance.My gaze dropped to the floor as I saw Elisa sleeping by the door, it felt like my heart was being squeezed out every drop of blood in it.My precious jewel.Gently, I picked her up, scooping her into my arms as I carefully walked out of my bedroom to hers.She must have been so worried, why didn't she leave after seeing my attitude? There was no reason to persist.My thoughts were cut short when Elisa snuggled to me, her cheeks rubbing my chest softly.
DAMON I turned off the gas cooker and dropped the towel on the table top, ready to go call Elisa for dinner then the land line rang. I frowned wondering who it could be this late at night then I recollected dropping off my phone with Freddy, I had been so swooned by Elisa that I forgot to reach out to inform that I won't be coming back to work. Well, I would still make that same choice if I was given a second chance. Eli was an epitome of beauty. The ring of phone snapped me out of my thought as I snapped back to reality, pushing the dirty thoughts that were forming to the back of my mind I reached for the phone. "Hello, Thorne's residence."I answered calmly, using my shoulder and head to hold the phone in place as I dished the food out. I wonder what I should make for breakfast tomorrow. "Sir?" "I know it's you Freddy, speak up." Hearing the disdain in my tone, I could hear Freddy gulp before he concluded his words. "Well, Miss Reina r
ELSA"So we planned to use a pink sapphire before right?"Not getting a response, I looked up to see Damon's disapproving gaze."What?" I asked feeling confused, why did he look so mad?"Eat five spoons before speaking on anything concerning that issue." He scolded causing me to sigh with disbelief, so that was it.Dropping my tab, I picked up my fork and murmured a thank you, before digging into my spaghetti."It feels like I am the only one worried about this issue." I muttered underneath my breath while he just gave me a small smile and sat down on the chair opposite me, eating his food as well.After taking 5 spoons as he instructed, I set up the tablet in a landscape manner seeing the jewelry I designed with my hands on full display.Fully produced yet my name was no where near the credit.The Thornes' has been looking to expand their reach into the jewel industries and we landed the collaboration contract, I handled the design myself because it was important.My first big projec
ELSAI stared at Damon's broad back with delight as blood rushed to my face recollecting what went down few hours ago.I suddenly felt like back then in middle school where I would sneak to the football field to watch him play, the way he moved around the field and everything, nobody ever noticed cause I was mostly under bleachers or somewhere hidden.Like a little girl in love.It was a good thing that I pushed for those questions, now it felt like I was truly one with my husband.Hearing the ring of my phone, I turned to pick it up and saw it was Amber.Could it be something that has to do with Simpson? I couldn't pick up the call beside Damon right now.Pursing my lips, I decided to leave when his strong pair of arms held my waist down as he nozzled his nose against my neck."I didn't know you were awake." I commented, swiftly cutting the call and placing the phone back on the stand.Hopefully, that doesn't seem suspicious."I wasn't until a few moments ago." He explained while I m
