SARAH'S POVI was woken up by his voice the next day."Wake up, Beauty " I heard him say. I opened my eyes and remained in that sleeping position for my brain to start functioning well again. I sat up and he handed me water immediately."It's the weekend, young woman, let's go to the gym.""What?" I didn't see that coming. I analyzed the strength I had inside of me and shook my head immediately and vigorously."I'm not going anywhere. Like you said, it is the weekend and I deserve rest..." I refused. Does he not ever rest?"Babe." He called and then laughed.He brought out a gym outfit from a paper bag and placed it in the bed. It seemed like he had just placed an order for it that morning 'cause I didn't see anything that looked like it before I slept the day before."You'll come with me to the gym." He insisted and I started sulking. He got amused and then laughed.Then he came over and picked me up in a bridal style. He took me to the bathroom and I struggled with him."You can't w
DAMON'S POVWomen and jealousy. I decided to prepare something nice for her since she was strained out at the gym. I left her in the room to prepare Chicken and mashed potatoes. We were supposed to eat vegetable salad after the workout but I decided on something else. I noticed she preferred dairy foods to vegetables also.When I was done, I went to the room to call her out to eat. "Babe, food is--" She stepped out of the bathroom and I could not complete my statement. Her body was wrapped in a white towel to some length but her hair was dripping wet.Unusually, she didn't freak out about the fact that I saw her half bare. "I need you to help me blow-dry my hair." She said instead, surprising me the more. I played along, however."O-kay..." I first got her to wear clothes first before I could do anything. Just to be on the safer side.After blow-drying her long hair successfully, she told me to pack it into a ponytail and I did."Thanks babe." She muttered out of the blue, giving
*SARAH'S POVI was so happy that someone was ready to invest in me. An investment that should have happened long before then. My father was just a wicked man who did not deem it fit to invest in my education.I remained in the study till evening as I was engrossed in the book I was reading. With the use of the internet, I easily assimilated the contents of the book and I was done in no time. A book that contained over one hundred and fifty pages. Not a novel but an educational textbook.I knew it was not normal that I finished that book without stress. I felt a supernatural backing but I didn't say anything. I felt that was okay for the day and I left the study to look for Damon."Babe?" I reached out but got no reply."Babe!" I called again, checking for him in the rooms. I didn't see any trace of him and I wondered where he had gone to. I picked up my phone and dialed his number. Just then, the entrance door lock beeped and opened. Then he walked in."I was looking for you. Where di
*DAMON'S POVI was busy working in the office when I got a knock on my door. The glass walls had been dimmed because I felt the need for privacy so I couldn't see the person knocking. But I felt like Chloe should have called to tell me that someone was looking for me. Did she leave her duty post?I thought about all these and then let whoever it was in. It turned out to be Chloe herself."Miss Chloe? Why are you here?" I asked the moment she entered my office."I am here to see you sir.""Okay..i'm all ears." I replied, taking my gaze away from her to my monitor."Uhm...i would like to invite you to my birthday party sir. It is coming up on the 25th of this month and I thought it was okay to invite my boss." She said clearly.I laughed on my inside and maintained a straight face outwardly."Okay...25th? That is next week. It is alright, I will see to it." I promised her and she left.We were getting somewhere. It was soon lunch break and I unpacked the lunch bag Sarah had prepared for
*DAMON'S POV"Your nose is bleeding." I said. I was so surprised by the sight. Why the heck was she bleeding through her nose? She did not seem to believe me and then touched her nostrils to confirm. "Shit!" She swore before running inside to get tissue paper.She wiped it clean and tilted her head in a way that her nostrils were facing up, just to stop bleeding. I dropped my briefcase and had her sit on the sofa. I collected the tissue paper from her and cleaned her nostrils properly."How did you get a nose bleed?" I asked, worriedly."I don't know how this happened." She replied and then it seemed like something struck her after."Wait, could it be..." Her voice trailed off."Could it be what?" I pressed and she turned to look at me with her eyes widened."Babe." she called. At that point, I was getting uneasy. "Say it, woman." I frowned. "Did you watch the news?" she asked and I shook my head."Okay. So a child was falling from the twenty-fifth floor of that apartment complex an
SARAH'S POVI had initially thought Chloe was a good person and that I could trust Damon with him. Little did I know she was a bad person. She was just a little bit better than Ella. I tried hard to be nice to her at the party but the way she tried to throw herself at Damon annoyed me. What the actual heck! Though my relationship with Damon hadn't been known to her yet but still, courtesy calls! I came with him to the party as his date for goodness sake.I was so fucking annoyed but I did not show it. But he made efforts, to make me comfortable. Of course, I was shocked when he told her I was the one that got the gift for her. Her reaction was funny and I wasn't cool with the lie either. Why would I get a gift for a goat like her?Soon after the whole thing, we left for Kimberley Royals. I was so annoyed that I was not ready to speak to even Damon. I didn't want to take out my anger on him 'cause he did nothing wrong. I went to bed straight and it seemed like he understood the situati
SARAH'S POVCharles left immediately after he escorted me to our apartment's doorstep. I got in, changed into comfy clothes and decided to prepare dinner or brunch, whatever it was. Getting to the kitchen, I realized there weren't enough ingredients for the meal I wanted to prepare.I sighed out of annoyance and left home with the black card. The grocery store I went to the first time was the nearest to the apartment complex so I ended up going there.The moment I stepped in, one of the attendants walked up to me immediately."Welcome ma'am, what would you like to get? Do you have a list? You can just give it to me, I will bring you everything." The lady said. I had seen her the last time I came but I never had an interaction with her and of course, her behaviour was weird. It was quite obvious that she was out of her character."I will just...get them myself." I replied to her. The generosity was just on a different level. And I did not want it.She insisted on helping me out, then I
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 POV He eventually reached out to me. My joy knew no bounds the day I received the letter from my father that I should come back to the pack. The content was not what made me happy but the fact that he summoned slm the courage to reach me. Damon was skeptical about it though. "Babe, are you sure you want to do this?" I nodded my head. "I am more than sure. I have been waiting for this day, Damon and you know it. Nothing holds me back any longer. And I won't be going along, we are going together." I said to him. He said nothing more about it and just meekly agreed. "Your wish is my command." He said and I laughed. I wanted to go see him at the earliest, so we decided to go the next day. I prepared the kids for the trip too. "Mum, where are we going?" They both asked and I smiled."To your grandpa's place," I replied simply, not clarifying things any further. We set out on the journey with a convoy. A trail of cars before and behind us.We got to the red ravens pack in on
SARAH'S POV"Archie! Alma! It is time for breakfast." I announced. The kids came running down the stairs and I could not help but worry about them."Stop running or you will get yourself injured!" I cautioned but they still did not listen to me."These kids will be the end of me," I muttered under my breath as I served their meals on the dining table."Remember your table manners, no talking," I said to them and they nodded. "Now dig in.""But mum, where is dad?" Alma asked. She just had to ask after we had agreed that no one was talking."Your dad is busy, but he will soon be here," I said to her. Then I thought of going to check up on him. He had been in his study ever since."Babe." I reached out when I got to the study. "Is everything going well? It is time to eat." "I don't think I will join you guys for breakfast. I have to code this thing before the deadline." He said."What is that? I could help." I offered but he turned me down. Then I frowned."Okay, I am sorry but I would
DAMON'S POVI lost it when I received the call from Robert. I left everything I was doing and rushed down to the hospital. I drove like a madman. Jones assured me that she was fine and would not die, but I was still not at peace. She was yet to wake up after an urgent surgery so I went to Kimberley Royals with Myles.We looked into the CCTV to find out everything that happened. The police were involved already also. Chloe's arrest was warranted. I could have done worse to punish her for doing that to Sarah but I was still being lenient. Maybe it was because she had worked with me for long or because she was a woman. I never hurt women brutally. It was not in my nature.I let the cops take over and in no time, she was charged to court. I had the best prosecutors take over the case to make sure she went to jail.Victor Martin, her father requested to see me but I declined. He obviously wanted to talked about his daughter. If he can't keep his kids under control, then he quit being a fa
*SARAH'S POVWe were on a break so I was just home, trying to figure things out. I had Robert go on an errand so I was the only one at the apartment.I was so bored. Kylie had issues to sort out with her family so she could not come over. Then I tried watching some Hollywood movies to keep myself busy while I munched on popcorn.Suddenly, the door bell rang. "Oh finally!" I exclaimed and went to the door to get Robert. But then I got shocked after seeing a different face."Delivery!" The person announced. The door was just opened a bit and the delivery man had a face cap on. "I think you got the wrong address." I said to him and tried to close the door.But then he set his foot between the door and the doorframe, making it impossible for me to close the door. "Excuse me, what are you doing--"My words were cut off when he suddenly pushed the door, opened it fully and entered."Who are you?" I shouted and he hushed me.Then he brought out a pocket knife. So this was how it is going
*SARAH'S POVI was back at that place, Astrid's mansion. The house looked ancient now that I was seeing it in broad daylight but it still looked so grand.A lady came out and ushered me into the house then I watched Astrid walk down the stairs in black regalia.As soon as she got to me, she bowed her head and said her greeting. I did the same. "Uh..can you stop doing that? You can just call me by my name, Sarah." I said to her 'cause it made me so uncomfortable.She agreed and then smiled. "Have you eaten? Let's have breakfast together." We had a wonderful meal and she got to business over a cup of tea meant for easy digestion."I heard you wanted to see me." She started."Yes. I would like to look into my past life." I said to her. She did not expect that but I said it anyway."You want to look into your past life? Through hypnosis? Could I ask why?"I felt like she knew the answers already but I still answered her."A lot is going on with me. I feel like I don't know myself as I k
*SARAH'S POVI found out Chloe was the one who reached out to the web master and gave them false information. So she painted herself as the victim and I was the antagonist.I carried out the investigation with Robert and Kylie and I swear, we could make a great team. "So what will you do about it?" Kylie asked and I sat back on the sofa."I don't know yet. I don't think I need to get back at her. I will just have the post taken down on blogs and that is all." I replied and she shook her head pitifully."You are way too calm. Taking down the posts won't solve it. What about your ruined reputation? I think it is best we involve Mr Damon in this or I personally will take it upon myself." She threatened."Okay. Maybe a little lesson would do. What can we do to her?" I asked for suggestions."I have many of them in my head. Should I print you a list?" Kylie said dramatically.Then I turned to Robert. "Say something." I urged but he only bowed his head as a gesture, telling me indirectly
DAMON'S POVIt was time for Takumi to return to his country. The whole inheritance and family issue had been solved. The Interpol had stopped looking for him also. I headed first to the villa where he was and it took hours to get there. We were supposed to have breakfast together for one last time.I got to the villa on time because I had set out so early. We discussed a few things over breakfast and he expressed his gratitude. He was always willing to fully invest in the Pinnacle World entertainment at Sichuan. I laughed inwardly when he mentioned it."Really?" I asked in Japanese and he confirmed it."Yes. And if there is anything you need my help with in the future, do not hesitate to let me know." He said as he took the last bite from his meal. I rounded up too, when I saw that he was done eating."A charter is heading over to pick you up and take you to the airport." I said to him and he smiled. "I really appreciate this, Mr Mackay."I smiled back at him. "It is my pleasure."T
*SARAH'S POVI was preparing for the academy when I heard the door bell ring. Damon was off to work so I wondered who it was. I had checked on the mini monitor but I saw an unfamiliar face.I walked down to the door and unlocked it, then opened it ajar. "Good morning, Milady." he greeted. I was surprised. A well-built, hefty and fine looking man was at my door early in the morning and even addressed me as 'Milady'."And who may you be?" I asked before anything else."I'm Robert, your new bodyguard." He introduced. And then I remembered Damon had actually discussed it with me before he left."Oh. I'm so sorry. Please come in." Then, I opened the door fully for him to come in. "Would you like to have some breakfast?" I proposed and he shook his head immediately."Okay...you can have your seat then." I said but he refused to comply."I would love to remain like this, Milady." He replied.Here we go again with this 'Milady' thing, it is not like I was a queen or anything. I did not a
DAMON'S POVI was at the office, on a call with Charles. "Nolan is going berserk about his brother's issue. I think he is catching on to the fact that we don't have his brother." He reported. I dropped my pen and sighed. I saw it coming. The boy can't be kept under me forever. "Charles, try to put him together. He must not confirm the fact that we don't have his brother.""But he is dead, is he not?" Charles insisted."Nothing is sure for now. Keep Nolan with you, I will make sure to find him in a few days.""Alright sir--""What are you talking about...?" I heard a different voice ask, and I guessed it was Nolan. Finally caught! "I just asked a question! My brother is dead? You told me he was alive!" Nolan yelled over the phone."Calm down." I cooed but he was not taking it.Just then, Myles walked into my office. I was gesturing to him to hold on so I could sort out things with Nolan but he seemed impatient."I have found him." He uttered."Who?" I raised a brow, diverting most
