DAMON'S POVShe was one adorable being. Truth be told, I was so worried when she said she got a friend. I knew how dangerous people could be. I had not met this so-called friend but I noted it mentally to keep an eye on her.A few days later, the examination results were released. "Check it first." She tossed her phone at me. And I was quick to catch it."Are you nervous?" I asked, teasingly."Of course yes!" She blurted out, trying to calm herself down.I dropped the phone and drew her closer to me on the sofa. "Don't injure yourself. Just calm down." I cooed. She took deep breaths but still found it hard to calm down. Well, I was not surprised. I did worse.Whenever it was time to check my results, I always made sure my mum was with me. I knew so well I would have issues with my dad if I did not meet his expectations.I needed to succeeded in every aspect of my life if I was going to become a leader, according to him.But in this case, I was also very sure that there would be no is
SARAH'S POVIt was finally the day of resumption. I was quite excited and so was Damon for me. I got dressed up, wore a grey-coloured pleated skirt that stopped at my mid-thighs, wore a button-up white shite and layered it with a black hoodie. Then I wore black loafers and put on moderate accessories.I let my hair down after combing it so well and wore lipgloss. I arranged my writing material and books in a white, tote bag then I left the room.I met Damon in the kitchen, rounding up breakfast preparations and I smiled."Babe, you don't have to do this." "But I'll still do it anyways. I grew up among women so if it's my cooking you are worried about, you have nothing to worry about." He replied as he dished out the meal. It was simply egg omelette with sausages. After then, he quickly prepared two cups of tea for us before settling down.I took the first bite and I moaned in pleasure. "This is so nice." I commented and he smiled."I told you." He said.We chatted and laughed over th
*SARAH'S POVNo one told me university lectures could be boring. We were in the lecture theater for about three hours and it was so tiring for me. Nevertheless, I tried hard to gain some crucial things, took notes and recorded the lecture. After the lecture, a guy walked up to the podium and introduced himself as the course representative that had been chosen from our level by the level advisor. He said his name was Blair and he also declared the lecture we just concluded as the last one for the day."Further information will be passed to the level's group chat." He said. He also passed information across to us about the freshers' orientations and all. Then he left.I packed my stuff. My new laptop and writing materials. I hung it on my left shoulder and held onto it tightly, and subconsciously.Someone jumped into my sight the moment I walked out of the lecture theater. I had actually waited for the crowd to move out before I did. It would be a disaster if anyone stepped on my nerve
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
