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
Lorenzo drives me back home after the coffee date with Vanessa.I step out of the car, carrying the wrapped box that Vanessa got Damien as a wedding gift. I wonder what's inside. I'm tempted to kill my curiosity and unwrap it but it's not my gift. I will wait for Damien to open it. But I'm sure it's something sentimental. One of the main reasons I went on that date was to confirm if Vanessa was still inlove with Damien. She's definitely crazy about him. She wasn't even excited to talk about her fiancé. All she wanted to talk about was Damien. God, the naked jealousy on her face when I said Damien tells me everything was all the proof I needed.These are two people who are madly inlove with each other but make it hard for themselves to be together. I don't understand why they do that to themselves.I push the door open and take off my sneakers. The house is sparkling clean. The wedding gifts are still sitting in the livingroom. Hannah has just finished cooking lunch when I fall on th
Lana is on a book date with Rooney Lane.I'm sitting in her house, scrolling through my phone as I watch her Instagram stories. The photo she just posted is so cute. She's holding a big book, her big smile lighting up the entire book shop.The two are so inlove and always trying to spend time together. And the most interesting part is that their relationship is not based on sèx. They genuinely enjoy each other's company without getting physical. This has made their relationship grow stronger.Why can't Damien and Vanessa stop being so stubborn and be like these two? Damien dreams about Vanessa. Vanessa makes a sentimental photo album for Damien. Damien literally married me to make her jealous. And Vanessa showed up to his wedding wearing a bride's gown because she wished she could be his wife. But strangely, they still deny their love for one another.It doesn't make any sense why Vanessa wouldn't want to marry Damien. She's inlove with him. He's inlove with her. And he's the most won
Lana fetches a bottle of wine from the kitchen.She pours herself a whole glass and falls on the couch across from me. It sucks that I can't drink wine because I'm pregnant. But I've never been much of a drinker so that's fine. I'll just enjoy this cold glass of milk."Let me get this right." Lana clears her throat. "You want to play matchmaker between your husband and his ex?""Yep." I nod, sipping my milk."Your husband is literally mad at you after you went on a coffee date with his ex. What makes you think he wants to get back together with her?""Because he dreams about her." I reveal. "He was literally begging her not to marry another man in his sleep. This whole angry facade is just him denying his true feelings.""If they are so inlove, why aren't they together?""That's the same question I keep asking myself." I sigh. "They are intentionally making it so hard to be together when it's so simple. There's a lot of love there and they are clearly not over each other. I don't thin
