“She is innocent,” Damian’s words echoed in Emily's head. Her heart tightened, and immediately the nonchalance on her face vanished into a scowling gaze at Damian. Emily clenched and unclenched her hands, "Ughhh!” She sighed. "Seriously?” She widened her gaze at Damian in disappointment. She couldn't believe Damian could be that naive when she thought Damian to be witted. Emily shook her head as silence wafted in the atmosphere, her legs grew weak and her mouth parted in "O” shape when she tried to speak but couldn't find the words."I can see you had your head messed up by this b*tch,” Emily faltered, her hand motioning at Melissa who sunk in shock but swiftly vanished immediately she swallowed hard. She knew everything about Melissa and her mischievous acts with the doctor. She has been in talks with Mark as they agreed to work on the issue at hand together.Seeing that Damian could remain his ground about Melissa made everything come crumbling to her feet. For a moment she regrett
Melissa jolted to and fro in her bedroom, her heart hammering in her chest. Her hand grabbed her waist and the other hand scratched her hair rapidly, “No f*cking way!" She screamed, her voice echoing in the room. Her eyes broadened and her hand clutched her mouth when it dawned on her that she could call attention. She froze in her stance, her ears listening to the sound of her heartbeat, and her eyes stared in alarm at the door. Her noisy breath filled the whole atmosphere.After a moment when nobody pulled at the door as she said all the prayers, she knew on earth that at least no one should barge into the room. “No f*cking way!" She muttered under her breath. She placed her hand soothingly at her chest and her widened eyes locked at the door. “I won't let that evil woman destroy all I have worked for. I didn't come this far to quit, I didn't come this far for her to poke her fingers in my face. She won't spoil things for me,” she sighed, giving herself some words of encourageme
Dr. Lucas knelt before Mark, his widened eyes evident with fear. His heart pounded in apprehension as he observed the man who sat before him with his face tightened. The doctor couldn't hold it anymore from freaking out. Sweat trickled down his armpits. “Please Mr. Mark be lenient with me," he pleaded in one gasp, then his breath continued to be noisy.Mark's glare shifted across his men who stood beside the doctor. He silently instructed them and they seized him by his arms, increasing the climax of his nervousness, “I never knew she was a cruel woman. Please I never knew this could come this far," he breathed rapidly again.Mark leaned in, his finger placed across his lips, "Shush!” He uttered, his eyes holding darkness that I had never seen in my entire life.The doctor shut up instantly, his hands trembling. He watched as the angry beast ran his fingers on the phone screen, each passing second, his heart nastily heating against his rib cage. "I have found the fool,” he placed h
Sophia Barged into her room, her face tightened. Her heart squeezed and pained at each passing moment like a two-edged sharpened sword was thrust into her heart. She came to an abrupt halt immediately she stepped her feet into the room, her fists formed balls till her knuckles turned white as she blazed with anger. She glared into the room, her eyebrows knitted together. Her whole body trembled. Everything she glared at irked her which made her stomach growl.In the blink of an eye, she jolted to the wardrobe and flipped its door open. She carried her toddler to the bed and she strutted back and packed her clothes as fast as her hands could be. She felt a firm grasp on the cloth she was pulled from the hanger and she turned just to see Melissa. Sophia's glowering gaze intensified as she scowled at Melissa, her eyebrows which knitted together trembled. She yanked her dress from Melissa's grasp, a groan escaping from her lips. “What do you want, Melissa,” Sophia barked, her gaze loc
Melissa tapped rapidly on Damian’s strong hand which choked her throat. Her eyes turned red as they grew broad in her sockets. Damian let go of her neck curtly and she hit the wall with a thud. “You dare ask me if I am drunk?” Damian growled, pointing back at his chest. "You are accusing me, Damian, I don't know what you are talking about,” Melissa uttered, her voice etched with annoyance as she leaned in with her hands clenched.Graveyard silence filled the room as Damian glared at her with a glimpse of surprise in his eyes. The way Melissa shot back at him looked too good to be true. “Damn it!" Damian uttered, breaking the anticipation which hung in the air. He would have fallen for her corny acts if he didn't have proof. Melissa would have successfully blindfolded him if the doctor wasn't caught and tortured to talk. Damian took a deep sigh offering silent thanks to Mark who helped him come to the light of everything happening in his life. He felt his eyes welled up as he blink
The constant and dragging sound of stilettos sitting on the tiles resonated in the atmosphere. Sophia and Damian turned in unison and glanced in that direction, Sophia's face tightened and Damian's eyes drooled. Leaning casually at the door was Emily with her hands crossed over her chest and her face etched with worry. Sophia's glare returned to Damian and the sight of him intensified the suppressed anger when spotted Emily at first. “Get out!" She uttered coldly, her hands trembling by her sides. Damian’s gaze darted at her as he contemplated, with his heavy heart like a huge stone was tied around his neck, "She had every right to say whatever she wants to me I fucked up” he mused. Damian cringed his head, his hands grabbed his waist as he shook his head in reprimand for his past actions. "Will she ever have a place in there for me?” He thought. His heart pulled nastily in his chest when it rang a bell he had someone to contend with. He raised his head, his eyes reddened and brim
Over the days, Damian didn't relent in trying to right the wrongs he did. He approached Sophia at different times but her hatred and ill-treatment of him kept escalating and her heart still hardened toward him.He had been drinking himself to a stupor hoping and praying deep down in his heart that Sophia should at least give him a second chance. If she could give him a second chance, he was ever ready to prove his love to her, love her like he never did, and cherish her more than anything precious to him.Sophia on the other hand got tired of his proposals and her anger kept flaring up like a bush set ablaze anytime Damian came her way. Damian sat on the rooftop, his grasp around the neck of the bottle of strong alcohol tightened as he sat with his face frozen and his eyes staring blankly into the atmosphere. Over a week since Melissa was sent to jail, Damian hadn't gone to work. All he did was to be at home, trying to let Sophia see why it wasn't completely his fault. On the floor
“Ouch!” Damian exclaimed, his facial expression tightened and his right hand swiftly traveled to his brow clutching it up.Emily rushed to him, “Oh my goodness you are awake," she sat on the edge of the bed and she aided him to sit up with his back leaning against the headboard. Damian’s left hand was in an arm sling pouch. He was admitted to the hospital for a week after the incident occurred. Clinton sent Damian the address to meet him after he told Damian Emily wanted to say hi to him. Clinton ordered Damian not to waste his time if he ever wanted Emily alive. Unknown to him Clinton had his evil plan of eliminating the Kingsley family; Damian and Emily. Damian arrived at the old warehouse in less than twenty minutes of driving when Clinton commanded he should show up in just thirty minutes. Clinton had Emily tied to the chair with a gag in her mouth and her eyes blindfolded, her heart palpitating in her heart. As the men faced each other, Clinton challenged Damian telling him he
