DERRICK I placed all my hopes on the post I made on the internet, I knew after the incident at the engagement party sneaking into the wedding would be much more difficult.Well, that's what I thought until a woman approached me, giving me a way out.She said she could sneak me in and give me a proper invitation as long I don't get recognized.Knowing this might be my last chance, I took it.Her plan worked out perfectly, I was able to sneak into the chapel.The wedding went on smoothly, everything had the touch of grandiose making me a bit jealous.Soon, the bells rang indicating the entrance of the bride.The doors opened up and I turned to see Eli dressed in a pure white, fit and flare wedding gown.A weird feeling engulfed me as I watched her walk up to the alter.Her father said somethings before handing her hand over to Damon.Staring at their back, the ache in my heart worsened.I clenched my chest in confusion, what's this?The small shy look Elisa gave Damon made it worsen, w
ELISAI had already expected Derrick to pull something as stupid as this.That was why I told Jenna to head to a certain professor, a mad scientist who would do anything for money, paying him the right amount was enough for him to fabricate Derrick's patient records.As for the civil bureau, the man in charge owed a favour so reaching out to him to do something dirty was not difficult.Security was made lax on purpose, so Derrick could enter freely.This was the only way to completely stop Derrick from causing future troubles, too bad I had to sacrifice my peaceful wedding."Sister, did I carry out your job well?" Jenna asked, whispering into my ear, the eagerness to hear a praise was evident."Hm, good job." I smiled, my eyes squinting as a the result. It felt like a huge boulder has been lifted off my chest."Thank you." I turned to Damon and Justin who stood in front of me earlier and they nodded as a response.After that I turned to the congregation giving a deep bow."I'm sorry e
SONG RECOMMENDED TRAIN WRECK BY JAMES ARTHUR ELISAThe church ceremony ended after the necessities were done and we were heading to the reception currently.Damon had refused to let my hand go after the ring exchange.I glanced at our entwined hands wanting to say something, but when I looked up at him and saw him staring at me with admiration and fulfillment.I couldn't bring myself to say anything."You know I'd have to change before entering the reception?" I asked, clearing my throat while he nodded bring my palm to his lips and placing a light kiss on it."I know, let me enjoy this for now." He replied, using his other hand to hold me as well."You have been holding my hand for a while now." I spoke up after mustering up the courage."I know." He said simple causing me to groan inwardly in frustration.I am pretty sure he was smart enough to get the meaning behind my words yet he just straight up ignored my words.Such an asshole.I huffed, I looked outside the window, deciding
RECOMMENDED SONG- CONSTELLATION BY JADE LEMACDAMONElisa's vows passed a message to me resulting to the words I said when I gave her the ring.I wanted her to know that she does not only have a husband by her side, she had a servant, soldier and helper ready to follow her every command.I refused to let her hand go after exchanging the rings, I was afraid everything would end up being a dream.I have been longing for this for a very long time, being able to experience felt so unreal.The church wedding ended after everything and we all headed to the reception center.I held her hand tightly, I know I was being clingy but her vows, the way she looked at me when she said it.It eased my worries, I could feel the truth in them, she just wanted someone to stay loyal to her.I might not be the best in loving someone but if she wants my loyalty- she has it.I do not have such thin resistance as that man Derrick.Recollecting him crashing our wedding earlier I frowned, thank goodness my wif
DAMONI smiled the moment I saw Elisa step out of her office building.She looked radiant and bright as usual.My jewel."Hey." I greeted as usual, handing her the bouquet of roses that I had prepared.I love giving her roses because they remind me of her.A rose flower is very beautiful, and would attract the attention of everyone, but one who does not handle the flower gently would only end up getting injured."Thank you." Elisa replied with a flushed face, smelling the rose fragrance.It's been three months since our wedding, after that night neither of us brought up that conversation anymore.I didn't want to talk about it seeing how much the fact she couldn't have children hurts her."You really don't have to keep doing this." She said as I opened the car door, ushering her in."But I want to." I stated in a dismissive tone.Elisa became the CEO of the Gilbert cooperation as she wished and she has been doing wonderfully well.I wanted her to focus on nothing other than work, so I
ELISAAfter my marriage with Damon, dad kept his promise and stepped down from his position, leaving me to take over as CEO.I wanted to use my "busy nature," as an opportunity to avoid Damon but after that night he offered to drive me to work and back.Ever since then it became a routine, and anytime he came to pick me up he brought a bouquet of roses along.It felt nice being cared for like this, during my relationship with Derrick I had been the one putting all the effort and any small actions he made seemed like a big deal to me.Maybe that's why this felt different.Seeing the familiar black rolls royce parked Infront of the office building made my heart swell with joy."Hey." He greeted me as usual handing me the flowers."Thank you." I took it from his hands my face heating up in the process, as I sniffed the roses to inhale their scents.It's been three months since I broke down completely in front of this man yet he never brought up the matter.Instead he just stuck to my sid
ELISAI could feel Damon's piercing gaze but I couldn't lift my head to look at him.I probably seem quite pathetic, few months back I told him there is no hope between us and here I am asking him to wait."You know what, forget it." I said, letting his sleeves go, but before my hands dropped, Damon pulled me into his embrace, hugging me tight."I would wait as long as you want me to Eli." He coaxed in a soft voice.I was stunned, the urge to cry overwhelming me, I'm pretty sure my eyes were glossy with tears at this point.Sniffling, I raised my hands slowly hugging him back, my actions causing him to hold me even tighter."Why were you acting that way in the car? I thought you were fed up with waiting for me or something." I voiced out my concerns.One thing I've learned from therapy was that I have to communicate my concerns no matter how odd they were.That way, instead of just guessing their reaction in my head I would be able to deduce their real reaction."Oh no." Damon hurried
ELISA "Are you okay?" Damon's face appeared in front of me disrupting my thoughts."Oh I'm fine." I answered but he just pursed his lips placing the food tray he brought on the bed."You are breaking out in cold sweat, do you feel uneasy?" He questioned placing his palm on my forehead."No, no, I'm good I swear it. Thanks for the food." I gestured to the breakfast on the bed trying to change the topic."It's no issue, you should eat then go wash up, I'll go do the same." I nodded at his words and watched as he left sighing.That was a close one, I didn't want him to see me as weird if I divulged my dream to him.I pushed all those thoughts aside and munched on the toast he brought, pushing it down with the hot chocolate.I've got to say, Damon Thorne has quite a talent for cooking, compared to me.When I was done, I head to the bathroom and took a shower.I should call that doctor later on to confirm Derrick's death, my instincts were telling me something was wrong.By the time I was
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 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,
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
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
ELISAI finally confessed to Damon, it felt like a heavy burden had been lifted off my chest.Though crying was not part of my plan, I couldn't control it for some reason.As I was about to respond to Damon's reassuring words, I noticed him frown like he was in severe pain.“Damon, are you okay?” I asked, feeling panicked and not knowing what to do.“I'm fine.” He replied, forcing a smile at me before holding me by the waist and placing my head gently against his chest.“Let's just dance to the music, it's your favorite song.” He stated in a dismissive tone, making me worry.“Damon-”“Eli, this is a moment we both want to enjoy, let's just do this with pleasure.” He looked at me with soft eyes before continuing dancing.Why does it sound like he just told me that regardless of what pain he was going through, it didn't matter right now.I shouldn't lie, I wanted this night to last long as well, I mean we just officially confessed to each other and I just accepted Damon, but his health
DAMON“Let's head in.” Elisa said, stretching her hand out for me to take.With a smile, I took her hands trailing behind her as she led me through the stairs.“Everywhere seems empty.” I pointed out and she nodded.“I rented the whole restaurant out.” Her reply came with a smug look.My eyes softened, I watched in silence as she interacted with the waiter who then led us to a table beside the window with a great overview of the city.I sincerely hope everything won't end up with a horrible turn.Especially since it's almost nighttime.“Damon!” Elisa sharp voice drew me out of my thoughts.“Yes?” I looked at her, forcing a smile, I don't want her know what's going on with me, she might start worrying again, or fight with me for making a “stupid” decision.“You were lost in thoughts? Are you okay?” She inquired, concern evident in her voice.Fuck, I made it so obvious.“It's nothing, I'm just admiring the city view.” I brushed it off, pulling her chair back and leading her to have her
DAMONAfter the meeting was over, I rushed down as soon as I could, just stopped a few steps away from the exit door, I stopped trying to regulate my breathing.It might seem awkward if she finds out I ran out here, after ensuring I was calm, I walked out disregarding the looks my employee's gave me.I saw her sedan parked in front and I jogged over, tapping on the window lightly.“Hey.” She greeted me nervously as she rolled down the window, her face full of questions.Well, my thoughtful employees ended things after 10 minutes, giving me the opportunity to come here earlier.“We finished on early.” I answered her obvious question.An awkward silence followed, and I just stared at Eli with the urge to compliment her.She looks so beautiful, I don't even need to see her full fit to know she's stunning.The only problem was that I couldn't compliment her even if I wanted to.Especially after this morning incident, If I gave her any compliments, she might just think I had intentionally
ELISAI parked my car outside the building, contemplating whether I should go inside or not.In the end I decided to give Damon a call, just In case he was busy.“Hey Damon.” I greeted the moment he picked up the call.“Yes?” He answered, I took in a deep breath trying to regulate my heart beat after hearing his voice.“Are you busy?” I asked, my heart beating so loud I could swear passers-by would be able to hear it as well.“Kind of.”“Oh.” Disappointment crushed me, what was I thinking? Of course, he would be busy, I mean he owes a massive conglomerate.I opened my car door ready to leave when his words stopped my movements, he would be done in the next 30 minutes…My excitement and anxiety all rushed back in as shut the car door back, leaning against the car.“Oh okay, finish your work, I'm downstairs waiting for you.”Damon responded with an okay, but I couldn't care less, I hurriedly got into my car bringing out my compact mirror to check my make-up.Just because of the plan I s
ELISA“What's the employee's name?” I asked Amber not wanting to believe that it was Derrick standing in my office lobby.“Thomas.” My heart eased a bit hearing the name, I should really call the doctor to confirm some things.“Good day ma'am.” Thomas turned around to greet me, and I was instantly taken aback.His build looks like that of Derrick's, but his face was seventy percent similar to that of Damon.Was the universe trying to play some funny trick on me or what? Well, newsflash it was not funny, not even the tiniest bit.“Let's head into my office. Amber go get me some coffee, get black coffee this time around.” I dished out orders before walking into my office.Dropping my bag on the table I did a round about sitting down on my chair.“You don't get to sit unless I say so.” I frowned when I saw Thomas already taking his seat.“I'm sorry, ma'am.” He apologized, instantly springing up to his feet.His hand clasped themselves tightly, his whole demeanor screamed nervousness, tha
