DAMON'S POVThe day was a busy one. I should have dropped Sarah at the academy myself. I mean, it was her first day but I could not. A lot was waiting for me.Getting to the office, I had Chloe bring me a cup of coffee. She started to put up her funny attitudes but I did not spare her my attention, therefore discouraging her. I did some work on my computer and then left the office for a meeting with the board of directors. The meeting was going to be a crucial one.After I had settled down in my seat, the meeting started and it was announced by Chloe. I had plans to build a new subsidiary for Pinnacle World. Not the entertainment agency in Sichuan this time, I wanted to create a clothing brand and probably cosmetics too. I had pondered it carefully and arrived at the conviction that it would help Pinnacle World Technology a lot as a subsidiary.I discussed it with the board of directors, and the stakeholders. Usually, they were calm that day and everything went smoothly. They bought
SARAH'S POVI woke up in two hours and realized that he still wasn't back. Was he having a good time with her? The thought infuriated me. For the second time, I went into the shower. I was not enraged but I felt mild annoyance, which was more hurting and crazier than burning with anger.I prepared myself a cup of hot tea as it got chilly that evening. I decided to study and headed to the Study. I was there for over one hour then I sensed Damon's presence. He was back."Babe." He called.I swallowed hard, not ready to answer. He would eventually find me by the way.As expected, he walked into the study. "Babe. You were here? I've been calling for you." He said.I forced a smile. "I'm sorry. I must have been engrossed in studying."He lifted me from the chair and placed me on the table. I could predict what he was about to do. He leaned forward to kiss my lips and subconsciously, I pulled away.He looked taken aback."Babe?" He must have been surprised by my act."Are you okay? What ha
SARAH'S POVIt was that day of the year again. My birthday and the same day my mother had her last breath. The day my misery on earth started. It is quite funny how I was met with hatred at birth. The woman who was supposed to show me love had taken all the love with her to the afterlife. I woke up, feeling a throbbing pain in my head. I realized I was the only one on bed. I sighed and got off the bed, then headed to the washroom. I turned on the faucet and began my normal ritual. Crying.It had become a habit ever since I was little, to cry on this day.I cried and cried my heart out, reaching out for my mum who I didn't even have an idea of what she looked like in reality. I was pretty sure I was in that washroom for more than an hour, crying and leaving the tap on.I washed up and entered the room, only for me to see paper bags of a certain popular brand, Givenchy, on the beg. I sniffed and just glanced at myself in the mirror. My eyes were so red and bulgy. I looked into the pap
*DAMON'S POVI had found out everything about her from the start, including her birthday date. But then I figured out she never celebrated birthdays, of course there was no one who would celebrate her. She could have done it herself but her mother's memorial was the same day. So sad!I looked into the friend she always talked about and met up with her to ask her for a favor which she gladly helped out with. I had her get Sarah an outfit and other accessories for her mother's memorial. She also teamed up with Charles and Nolan to set up the house to celebrate her birthday.No one had to tell me that she needed me so much at this time. I canceled out everything on my schedule for that day just for her.The birthday party ended after a while and she had to see her friend off, leaving me and guys in the house.They started taking off the decorations as they prepared to return to the penthouse.While they went on doing that, I called Charles to see him privately.I needed to discuss on th
*SARAH'S POVI did not get why he did that, but one thing is for sure, I was very embarrassed. My face flushed as I watched him walk out of the bedroom with that cold expression. *Does he not want me?**Aren't I good enough?*These thoughts kept coming to my mind. My heart was so heavy that I was annoyed and sad at the same time. Maybe I really weren't good enough. I had to ask him. Skipping dinner, I waited for him till 1 AM as much as I could remember. I guess I slept off.By the time I woke up, it was already morning and I realized I was on the bed. I looked around for him but didn't see any traces of him. Then I walked out of the room. And I saw him walk out of the second bedroom. He didn't see me so I just entered the bedroom again hurriedly and closed the door quietly.*He even slept in a different room.* The thought angered me so much and the more I thought of what happened yesterday, the more pissed I was.I walked into the bathroom to wash up. I had lectures to attend. I dr
SARAH'S POVOh sorry! I did not drive home straight. I was too pissed, so instead I drove down to a spa. He had always wanted me to flex like this so who was I not to?I texted Kylie after assuming that her lecture had ended. As expected, she agreed to come. This was her thing and if I was there alone, I would be bored.One of the attendants came to me to have my request."I'm waiting for a friend. So when she gets here, I'll call you. Thank you." I said politely with a smile. So I had to wait in the lobby for about thirty minutes before Kylie arrived. Trust me, I got tired while waiting."This is so unlike you. Spa-ing? Tell, did anything happen? Probably with Damon...or your family. Those are the people that could possibly cause issues for a lady." I was reluctant to tell her about it but I eventually did. And she was shocked."Really?" Her eyes looked like they were going to pop out of their sockets. I nodded my head in agreement."Could he be cheating? Probably he has someone els
*SARAH*It was the day for the Alphas' annual dinner celebration. Damon called me and said he would come home straight after work to pick me up.Immediately after the last lecture I had for the day, I went home with Kylie.I had initially asked her to help me in picking out an outfit to wear, as Damon's date and also to help with my makeup since she seemed good at it.Joyfully, she agreed.We placed an order for cold bottles of coca cola and fried chicken first because we were so famished. "Ugh...i wish I could drop out of university." Kylie lamented as she chewed on the crispy fried chicken."Why?" I raised and she sighed."Because it is fucking annoying, is it not? I can't believe exams are coming up soon. I've always been bad at it." She replied.I smiled. Why? Because life was so ironic. There I was looking forward to the examinations while she was grieving over it.We continued chatting and we were soon done eating. Then we proceeded to the closet to pick out an outfit."Wow. Th
SARAH'S POVDriving out of the basement parking lot, I saw that there was going to be a full moon that night. "Damon, look." I drew his attention out of enthusiasm. I had not really paid attention to the lunar calendar all over the years because it practically had nothing to do with me.I mean, I had always been known to be a useless wolf who can't even shift. But seeing it now was pretty nice. He just gave a simple reply concerning it.The drive to the dinner venue was quite long. I think we drove for over an hour, but when we got there, I was really amazed. "We are here." Damon announced and I looked around. We were at a hotel, one of the top hotels at Riverbrook. It was a very high building.A valet came over to where we were and alighting the car, Damon handed over to him the car key. Me and him walked in and headed to the floor where the meeting hall was in an elevator.When we got to the floor, it didn't even look like something was going on around here. No sound or nothing.
