I stare at her in confusion."Didn't you hear what I just said?" Sophia snaps her fingers. "Your husband married you because of his ex. Aren't you mad or shocked?""Why would he do that?""He's trying to get over her." She says. ""She is the love of his life and he's trying so hard to forget her. That's where you come in. He's using you to help him forget her."I'm surprised that Damien has never told me about this ex he's desperately trying to get over. I wonder why he's never mentioned her. I wonder why he's kept her a secret all this time. I wonder what she looks like. What she walks and talks like. How she managed to steal the cold heart of Damien. A man who fùcks you and then ghosts you. I wonder what their relationship was like."Why are you telling me all this?""Like I said, I don't want you looking like a fool infront of everyone. I'm just trying to help you.""What should I do?""Demand for a divorce."Bingo! Now I know why she's telling me all this. Not because she cares ab
There's lots of annoying things about this wedding.This strapless lacy wedding gown that's sucking the air out of me. These stupid silver heels that I have to walk around in. Faking smiles for strangers. These are among the little things that make me want to skin myself alive.But the most annoying part is every time someone asks me where the fùck my husband is.It's been about twenty minutes since he just vanished. In those twenty minutes, I'm sure that I've gotten twenty thousand questions about his whereabouts.I wish I could tell them that my husband vanished because he doesn't want anything to do with me. Because he thinks that this marriage is a fùcking mistake. A marriage that was his idea - not mine - his! A marriage that I refused at first. But because I desperately wanted revenge, I signed the fùcking contract. Now karma has come to bite my ass.Thank God Lana is here. She's the best company and definitely the saviour of the day. I don't know how I would've survived the bor
We take a private jet to Bali.Damien's private jet. When we board on the plane, I can't imagine that this is my life. My new life. Taking private jets and people treating you like the most important person on the planet. I know I should be happy about it. But it scares me.The contract will only last for two years only. I don't want to get used to a life that's not mine. A life that's a lie. A life that will be over after two years. It's scary to enjoy something that you know you're going to lose in the end. I'll go from private jets to buses. From mansions to small apartments. I don't want to get used to a life that I know I can't sustain.And none of this feels real. Just two weeks ago, I broke up with my boyfriend and now I'm married to his boss. And now, we are on our way to our honeymoon. For some strange reason, a wave of sadness washes through me. This is not how things were supposed to go. Brandon was the love of my life. He's the man I dreamed of marrying. I've never bee
DAMIENTwo weeks ago,This is not like me.I don't bring girls back home.Dani made me break that rule. I had to bring her home with me. She looked so heartbroken and confused and devastated. And I can't pretend I don't enjoy her company.I've enjoyed her company since I met her. And that was just a couple of minutes ago. She's fun and funny and daring. Most people that I meet pretend to be people they are not just to please me. At first, it was annoying. But I got used to it with time. Money is the magnet of fake people. So I'm not used to running into real people. People who make jokes around me. Throw funny faces at me. People who propose stupid silly games. Stupid silly games that end with a stolen kiss. A stolen kiss that I enjoyed a little too much than I would like to admit. Everyone was shocked. But not as pleasantly shocked as I was.I step on the engine as Dani stares out of the window, my coat wrapped around her shoulders. She's a beautiful young woman with beautiful brown
DAMIENI feel like a shitty person for leaving Dani all alone in the house.She probably hates me right now. But that's what I want. I want her to hate me. If she hates me, she'll stay away from me. If she stays away from me, she won't get crashed by the chaos in my life. No one has ever come between me and Vanessa and left unscathed. They all left bitter and broken when they realised they can't break the bond between us. A bond so strong that it keeps pulling us back together. Fuelling our feelings.Look at me now.Driving past midnight to her hotel room.It just took one call from Vanessa to drag me out of my house and come running to her. That's the kind of effect that woman has on me.I knock on her door. Holding flowers in my hand. Yes, I'm so desperate it's pathetic.The door swings open. Vanessa is standing at the door, dressed in a pink silk nightgown. Her beautiful brown eyes are wide with surprise. Her long lustrous hair tumbles over her breast. God, this woman is beautiful
DANIBali is breathtaking.The perfect place for a honeymoon.I'm holding Damien's hand as we walk on the beach, our feet squishing in the sand. The beach is flanked by palm trees and beach resorts on one side and blue warm water on the other. The best part about this beach is that it's deserted. The only other people walking behind us are an older couple and a younger gay couple. The serenity and silent waves heals my soul. This has to be the prettiest beach with the bluest waters. We sit on the beach, Damien soiling his white shorts with the sand. Like I mentioned before, this man looks hot in everything. Even this simple white short and white shirt.The wind blows my yellow dress as I sit on the sand, staring at the blue waters. I take a sip of my coconut drink, devouring every second of this day. Damien is having a margarita, sipping slowly as he watches the waves. He's happy to be here."I thought that you would be mad, you know?" He says."About what?""Vanessa." He says. "Me
I wake up to find all the suitcases packed.Damien was mad at me when we went to bed. He slept on the couch. Seems like he's still mad at me this morning. He's all dressed up in a dashing black suit, his eyes glued on his laptop."Eat your breakfast." He glances at his watch. "We'll be leaving in the next twenty minutes.""We were supposed to stay here for a week.""Change of plans." He still doesn't look at me. "We've wasted enough time.""You didn't even bother to ask if I was ready to leave.""You can still stay if you want." He says. "The choice is all yours. Just know that work starts the day after we get home."Fùck. I almost forgot that I'm now his secretary. And I'm also a student taking online classes in The New York Fashion School. On top of that, I'm also pregnant. And the hardest task of all, I am Damien Hunt's wife. A man who just throws tantrums because you told him he's still inlove with his ex. Which he clearly is. Why would he be getting mad if he wasn't?"Oh." He cle
The sweet aroma of sandwiches snatches me from the bed.Damien is in the kitchen, making himself some coffee. He's all dressed up for work. He doesn't look like someone who suffered seventeen hours on a plane yesterday.When I fall on the kitchen island, Damien pours me some milk and serves me some sandwiches."Why didn't you wake me?" I ask. "I should be in the office in the next thirty minutes. I'm your secretary, remember?""You're starting work on Monday." He says."It's Thursday." I glare at him. "What will I be doing till then?""Resting." He replies. "Schooling.""My online classes start on Monday.""You can catch up with friends." He suggests. "Unwrap the wedding gifts. Read books. Keep yourself busy with happy hobbies.""Why don't you want me to start work today?" "Because you need rest." "But you also need rest. We were in Bali together, remember?""I'm not pregnant."Damien takes the last sip of coffee and straightens his collar. He takes his briefcase and waves at me."H
