In the rain

Chapter Fifty – In the rain.

The rains finally came.

And drenched Arya.

She walked along under it with gritted teeth.

“Comparing me with Debby? That’s the worst insult Winx ever gave me.” she mumbled. Replays of her earlier discussion with Winx infuriated her.

Why couldn’t she be with the first guy she liked? It’s not like she was a kid and couldn’t think for herself.

She kicked the small puddle in front of her angrily. “And Damien isn’t helping issues too, acting all lovely with me.”

She strapped her bag closer to her body as she began shaking, cold seeping into her body. They were no taxis on the road and she began to sense danger.

“I should have stayed in the university, damn it.” She cursed, walking slowly towards the bus stop.

She hoped Damien would come to pick her up but her brain dismissed such thoughts. She didn’t want to see him.

She was used to walking under the rain and she didn’t want him joking about helping her through cold like he did last night.

    Chapter Fifty-One – Their past.Arya bowed to Seth after alighting the car. “Thank you for dropping me off. Have a safe trip home.” She smiled. There was no reply from Seth, rather he was staring at someone behind her. “Arya! Thank goodness, I was about leaving.” It was Anna running towards them. She paused on seeing Seth and smirked. “Hey, pretty boy, howdy?” Seth looked away on being called ‘pretty boy’. Arya frowned slightly. Her sister had the habit of calling younger boys with childish names. “Stop teasing him. I’ve been trying to reach you for a while now.” “Of course you have. Didn’t Damien tell you? Tch. I just got into trouble for nothing. He better give me the best doctors as he said.” Anna ranted to the skies. Seth snapped his head at her direction. Doctors? Was something wrong with her? He grew concerned. And with the way she and Arya talked about Damien so informally, he confirmed they were close to the CEO. Arya pinched her sister to prevent her from talking too

    Chapter Fifty-Two – Bro-zoned.When Damien came back, he met Arya sprawled on her bed. She wore big clothes that made her look like a stuffed toy. He smiled, getting close to her. “Are you that tired?”He wasn’t expecting her to jump from the bed with a grin. “I literally walked under the rain today so yeah, I’m exhausted!” She fell back on the bed and began stretching. “Ha... I feel better after a hot bath and my sister dropped by today.” Damien took off his coat, with his eyes till on Arya. “Hmmm, I met her. Did she tell you her experience being kidnapped?” Arya shook her head. “Nope. I didn’t ask because I wanted her to register it as a bad memory. Selena and Connor said it’d be better that way.” Damien nodded in agreement. If Anna didn’t want to bother her sister about her injury then it was good call. Since Arya knew she was the target, she could become scared so it’s good to not let her know. “I’d get you the best treatment, I promise, Anna.” He muttered to himself before

    Chapter Fifty-Three – Rude Caller.The job was hers. Somehow, Damien had helped her get the job. Lucy couldn’t be more grateful. Her first thought was to dial her mother’s line and tell her but she refrained from doing so. “I should call Damien first and thank him. That would be better.” But after calling three times and he didn’t pick up, she stopped, assuming he was in a meeting. “See, it’s all about connections.” She smiled to herself. Her eyes went back to the email that marked her an official worker at Eagle’s Wings Bank. She’d surely blow them away with her effectiveness. Earlier, a phone number had called asking her for her address details that she hadn’t given to Damien. She readily provided the information as she assumed it was for her job. The young man asking had a very condescending voice which bothered her, but since she had the job now, she should forget about it and only feel grateful. Just then, she got a call. It was the same number as the condescending young m

    Chapter Fifty-Four – Her plan. Arya waved her phone in front of Damien. On the screen was a picture of Winx and her phone number. “This is Winx. She’s majoring in the same course as I. Do you remember ever seeing her?” The look Damien gave Arya was empty and uninterested but she didn’t budge. He typed Winx’s number on his phone and sighed before dialing it. “I should only tell her you’re ill, can’t move and depressed? If she asks why then what will I say?” he asked Arya. She shifted closer to him, making his face flush for a second. “Just tell her. With a convincing tone. They are low chances of her asking why. But if she does, then invite her over.” A shiver ran down Damien’s spine. What did she mean? He should invite her own friend over? Was it part of her prank? Arya gave him a reassuring smile and he looked away. Whatever it was she was doing, he wasn’t expecting it to affect him so there was no problem. The line went through and he heard the stern voice of the supposed Wi

Her whole attire; from the long straight dress to the gloves, shoes and beanie were BLACK. Connor had made sure that she wasn’t going to a burial but was stunned that she was heading to her school. Something must have fallen off her head. He glanced at Damien, who drove towards them, totally ignoring Arya’s strange attire. “I’d stay in the front this time.” Connor opted and hurried sat besides his cousin. He wasn’t sure what was with Arya yet. Arya sulked a little but slowly nodded, it would be better if she wasn’t seen in the front seat with Damien so that Winx wouldn’t think they’re romantic. “Junior, I’d drop you at school first. I have to meet with someone at Arya’s university…” “Did someone die?” Junior couldn’t help but ask Damien. Arya frowned. Was it her attire? Since Winx would be meeting with Damien, Arya thought it best to wear gloomy

    Chapter Fifty-Six – Rude Man.Damien looked down at Arya’s friend with a plastered smile. Winx was an inch shorter than Arya but more built and she exuded confidence, or at least talked like she did. She had been chattering none stop since she identified him, he was only glad that she had spoken with Seth before she identified him or she would have pulled the boy with her. “So, what I mean is, the Wades group are more reliable than what media pushes out. I never told Arya but I really really respect the family she married into.” “Thank you. I’m deeply honored.” Damien responded with a small bow. Immediately after, Winx jumped unto another topic of conversation and Damien could only mentally sigh. Hadn’t Arya gone to look for the girl? But she was right here in front of him. Damien’s mind went to Seth going into the building. He might meet with Arya. A small frown came to his face but he wiped it off by rubbing his face. “Yeah, um… Winx, I’m grateful you think highly of me but… i

If he had dropped his wife at school, that should’ve taken only ten more minutes. Where else did he go off to?” The door to his office opened and a smiling Damien walked in. “Good morning, Ken. Have you been waiting?” He looked away from him, “No, I haven’t. The meeting has been concluded. Harris group agreed to engaging in the prospect you suggested to Governor Darwin.” Damien’s eyes lit up. “Aww really? That group is really a good ally. Remind me to thank them personally.” He plopped down on his chair and took of his suit. Ken watched his movements before shutting his eyes. “The Harris group has your back all the time. I bet they must be expecting you to marry their youngest daughter.” Damien froze, giving him a side glance. “If they learn that you’re married, it will really choke them.” Ken added, running his hands through

How could you ask me that to my face?” Damien was bewildered. A poker face came on Ken’s usually expressionless face. “But you just said she’s not romantically interested in you. Then why else did she marry you? Isn’t it for your money?” Damien caught on on what Ken meant, still he was annoyed that he quickly came to that conclusion. “You don’t like her, do you? Your every word about her is demeaning.” “I don’t know her still I’ve never heard her call you at the office asking how you were, or make snacks for your workers or visit here. She’s really not interested in you.” All his arguments made sense so all Damien could respond with was “I married her.” Ken interpreted the words as “I’d remain with her whether it’s disadvantageous or not.” He bow his head, disappointed at how low his best f

The reception had taken place immediately and ran out to look for Connor. He was with her phone and she needed to take lot’s of pictures of Anna. She has to show them to Winx who couldn’t attend the wedding due to her injury. Arya wished Jim could have taken it back so Winx would attend as a bridesmaid but the groom was in so much haste to marry his bride. One of the reasons being that he had to return to his base as soon as possible. Arya finally caught sight of Connor with some girls. Should she walk over to him or just let him be? She wasn’t sure. He once told her how he grew more popular at school after his issue with the reporters went viral. All she hoped was he didn’t repeat it again, it might take a different turn. Thankfully, Connor turned around to look at something and noticed her watching him. “My phone

    Chapter Ninety-Seven – Paired up. Lucy had heard the news on the radio. The part she didn’t hear, however, was how her mother was the murderer of Juliet Marbles, her aunt. How in the world? Lucy was still fighting with the fact her mother conspired to kill Arya, she was hoping her mother was still her mother while holding on the fact she wasn’t the mastermind. But to think she had actually masterminded and perfectly executed the murder of her own sister years ago? It blew Lucy’s mind away. Everyone at the work place was talking about Debby and Winx issue while Lucy racked her brain over her mother’s. It was revealed that one of Debby’s accomplice had been caught, while the other escaped. No name was mentioned. Lucy knew she was safe even still because her mom didn’t share her surname. She divorced her father and went to Mr. Stark so decided to go back to her maiden name. “And to think that Mr. Stark was also killed.” Lucy shivered. Her mother had really gone down a dang

    Chapter Ninety-Six – Parting gift. Winx accepted to be a witness to keep Deborah Chan in rehab. Many protesters wanted her to be kept in jail despite her being a minor. She was losing fans by the minute. The media had caught whiff of what happened because a popular celebrity had been in the boutique when it happened, while shooting a video for her fans. She also witnessed that Debby just walked into the store then went after the girls. The identity of the other girl wasn’t necessary to the media, they only wanted to know why the genius attempted murder. Also, it seemed they forgot Debby was once acquainted to the Wades or they’d begin asking barrages of questions. Meanwhile, while detained, Debby desisted from answering unnecessary questions. All she said was she didn’t regret going after the girl because she wanted her dead. The girl being Arya but to the masses, Winx. Debby’s reason was unknown and since there was no prior relationship between Winx and Debby, the med

    Chapter Ninety-Five – Sorry end. Chen broke into boisterous laughter, then he pointed the knife at Aunt Jenna and slowly menacingly towards her. “You want to meet your man?" He scoffed."Didn’t we both have a deal? You should protect the woman I love and I’d not harm your loved ones, right?” Jenna’s eyes shook. What ever did he mean by that? Had something happened to his loved one? Had Debby been caught? And even if she wanted to, how did he expect her to protect Debby when she was Debby’s hostage? And between she and Debby, she needed protection against Debby than she needed to protect the girl. Aunt Jenna looked at the blood on his knife, and her stomach turned. Who did that belong to? “I-I don’t understand you.” Did something happen? “Well, Since it has come to this, I’d flee the country, never to return here.” Chen seethed. “But you, the police will come for you next.” Next? Jenna realized what had happened. Debby must have been captured. “Did you go after her? Those

She slowly walked into the living room but was immediately embraced by someone. She patted Connor’s back when she realized it was him. A part of her wanted to see Damien first. Kane had called home to inform them what happened. When Connor let go, Arya saw that Damien wasn’t home yet. “Are you alright? And was it really Debby?” Selena asked quite agitated. It's the first time she showed concern for her. Arya smiled, nodding. “Yeah, it was her. Winx protected me and was stabbed at her right collar bone. The nurse said she’d be okay though. It was very sudden.” Selena gasped, rubbing her face. “Winx. My poor girl. I can’t still believe Debby became this selfish, became this monster!” Mrs. Wade just had a sour expression, looking down at her hands. “Arya, go and rest. This incident must be frightening.”

  • Sir Damien's Contracted Wife    Fear

    Chapter Ninety-Three – Fear. The dark circles under her eyes had increased, along with the heaviness of her eyes and her heart. Debby didn’t know if she was still alive because she felt so dead. She could hardly walk around in public for fear that the police could be unto her. And she really needed to stroll. “Chen?” she called but no one answered. Since he spoke to her, asking her intent on killing Arya, he had been distant after she didn’t give a satisfactory response. Had he left her alone too? She just wanted that bitch dead. Why was it too much to do? Why didn’t anyone get her? She slammed her hand at the desk and screamed. “Arya, I’d kill you if it’s the last thing I do!! Bitch!!” The fact that she was somewhere, excited and with Damien made her furious. Damien rarely showed excitement with her, how was he able to open up with Arya within a short time? Debby grabbed Chen’s hoodie and forced it on her body. She needed to move out and plan her next attack. She had been to

Arya wondered if he didn’t expect her to stay. “Did you plan to divorce me?” she asked jokingly. “Ah no. I actually thought you’d find someone else. You know, the contract permits you to.” Connor smirked. Arya shrugged. “I thought so too but…” she paused. Wait! He knew about the contract marriage?? She grabbed his shoulder and shook him. “You knew about it? How?” Damien would definitely not have told him. “I married you, you know. I had gotten curious and read the contract during the court marriage.” He revealed. Arya clenched her teeth. Then all these while, he knew their marriage wasn’t real? Did he tell anyone? Even when she had asked him from relationship advice. She felt so stupid. “Well, I was bent on making it work out, though. So I didn’t tell anyone about it, if that’s what you’re worried about.” he added with a pat on her back. Her expression changed to a sober one. He wante

    Chapter Ninety-One – Wedding She had been having second thoughts about lots of things lately. It was partly Debby’s fault, but the other, hers. Arya washed her face with water then left the restroom. Winx was waiting for her, she stared at her best friend and smiled. “Something’s been on your mind.” She had been noticing her stalling or standing at a place, lost in thoughts. “No shit, of course.” Arya agreed with a smirk. “I don’t want to talk about it, though. I’d like to sort this out myself.” She always had a way of sorting out her emotions, the ones she needed and the ones she didn’t. Crying and feeling overly excited weren’t things she grew up doing due to her strict father so she didn’t have time to ponder about strange feelings. “Wouldn’t it be weird if I liked Damien now after trying to stay away from him for months?” She muttered to herself. But could she do anything about what she felt? She was matured enough to like someone. Only that her feelings for Damien were qu

The only thing in the room. She had ended up being kidnapped and forced to be an accomplice. Her current situation was far worse than she could contain. She was beginning to harbor thoughts of turning herself to the police, after all, Stark, who she was hiding her dark side from was already involved. Chen had drugged him for days, keeping him unconscious. Jenna knew it wasn’t healthy but she had no say as Stark had seen Chen when he came to her house to drop instructions and he began asking questions. The both of them were basically hostages at the moment. She hadn’t been able to contact Lucy while Debby had been sending strange letters to her. “I don’t want Lucy to get involved, really.” She groaned. “If only there was a way to reach the outside world now.” She regretted everything.
