TRUTH OR DARE chapter 20
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
TRUTH OR DARE chapter 22
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

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
TRUTH OR DARE chapter 24
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
TRUTH OR DARE chapter 25
I grab a piece of the pizza on the table and fall on the couch.Nate sits next to me, laptop on his lap. On the screen is a picture of an old short man wearing a designer suit, smoking a cigar."This is Luca Giovanni." Nate says. "He's an Italian tycoon with a successful merchandise company. However, that company is not as successful as his side hustle.""What's his side hustle?" I ask curiously. "And how is he connected to Vanessa Green?""Patience." He grins. "Luca Giovanni is a popular drug dealer. He's been dealing drugs for the past two decades. The guy is fùcking smart. He's friends with popular politicians and I suspect some of them are even his customers. Thanks to this, the guy will never see a day in prison.""How is this connected to Vanessa?" I ask, a little irked.""Like I said, most people who don't have active social media accounts or don't show their faces on their active accounts are definitely hiding something. Vanessa is not an exception.""Get to the point.""Vanes
TRUTH OR DARE chapter 26
I take another piece of pizza, trying to take in everything that Nate has just shared with me.There's hundreds of questions swirling in my head. How did Vanessa get involved with drug dealers? How long has she been doing this? Did Damien know about any of it? Does anyone in her life know about this other secret life? Is she really inlove with Leo Giovanni? But most importantly, is her life in danger? Did Leo and Luca threaten Vanessa?"Your turn." Nate says, dragging me from my thoughts."My turn?" I raise an eyebrow."The deal, remember?" He says. "I spill about Vanessa. You spill about your strange marriage to Damien Hunt.""I can't tell you much." I sigh. "But I'll tell you one thing. I'm not inlove with that man. And he's not inlove with me. It has to be the strangest marriage on earth. That's all that I can tell you."Nate beams as be takes another slice of pizza. There's this strange look of relief after I tell him about my marriage. After that, we eat some more pizza as we tal
TRUTH OR DARE chapter 27
Damien rolls up to the huge house.The expansive mansion is a stunning sight to behold, with its towering columns, sweeping staircase and numerous balconies overlooking the spectacular view of rolling hills.I turn to look at Damien and take his hand. His hand is so big and warm in mine. My hand is shaking a little bit and a lit wet from sweating. "I'm nervous.""Don't be." He says. "She will like you.""She didn't come to our wedding. Doesn't sound like she's a fan.""She's not a fan of social settings." He pauses. "Since the accident.""Oh, I'm sorry." I sigh. "Vanessa said that she doesn't like her either. What if she just hates the partners you pick? What if she will just automatically hate me because she thinks I'm taking away her son from her?""Vanessa is actually the one who didn't like my mom." He says. "It's a long story that I can't narrate right now. We should go inside before they start thinking we're having a quickie in the car."I chuckle as we step out of the car. Dam
