Damien patiently walked around his office, waiting for Aella to resume, as he had passed through a lot last night, just longing for her to come back.

“I can't believe she is already ten minutes late for work, even after not spending the night with me; this is real torture.” Damien whispered as he continued to pace around, and just then the door swung open and Aella rushed in, breathing heavily. Damien stood still as he immediately covered his concerned expression with a frown.

“Why are you ten minutes late for work?” Damien asked with a fierce voice, making Aella scared yet again, and then he remembered the incident and immediately acted cool to her.

“You do not have to be scared, and just answer me; I do not want you falling on my watch again.” Damien said before going to take his seat, and although he was very happy, he still made sure to hide it very well because he needed to still act angry.

    Marie couldn’t believe what had just happened as the other employees who had been eavesdropping rushed to Marie with a surprised gaze.“Did she just talk back?” One of her colleagues said, and Marie felt even more angry and miserable because her other colleagues had just noticed how Aella had humiliated her.“She won’t get away with this so easily.” Marie said, and with that, she walked to the dressing room and began to search for the second dress Aella was meant to put on, and when she saw that the dress was looking even more beautiful than hers, it made Marie more angry.“How can she only be treated like a princess, and I would just stay here in her shadows?

    "Get going then," Damien said, trying to hide his smile as he walked into the bathroom.Aella was confused as she didn't understand Damien's mood swings; one moment he was angry at her, and the next he was smiling.

Damien was getting tired at this point; he kept on telling Aella it was time to rest, but she wasn't listening."Aella, come on, it's past 2 a.m. already; you need to sleep in less than four hours; we need to go to work," Damien said. He was fed up at this point. "Damien, please; I just need to feed it again," Aella begged in return."Feed what again? You just fed the dog an hour ago.

    Aella was swept off her feet more than she could have imagined, but not by someone she had thought. She decided she was not going to think about Damien or anything that has to do with him, or literally anything that is tied to his being.She didn't want to think about it. as much as she knew this was the happiest she had ever been since they got married.The least she could do for herself now was to stop ruminating about the past, not when she was starting to come back to being herself. This was the gift to herself, and this was more like the best gift ever. She will stop thinking about him and focus more on understanding herself; she was planning to get a divorce sooner than later.

    Just the right amount of sauce to make him look like God's sent. She stared at Blythe, who just unconsciously did the cutest things. There were times he talked to himself, there were times he just glared out the window, or there were times where he just picked up the salon magazine and read it, and his expressions whenever he came across something controversial made him the perfect partner to give your work the gist.Blythe had taken the initiative to get Aella a snack after every hour at the salon he got her milkshakes and takeouts.“Here's some for you!” Blythe voiced handing over the takeout box to her.By this time she had just started to make her hair; she had first gotten into washing it and then styling it.“Thank you!” She smiled, and he walked back to his seat.“That's an intentional mannn!" The hairstylist teased her as Blythe fully walked away.Aella didn't know what to think, nor did she know what to say to the hairstylist.“He's just my friend!” Aella responded with a smi

    He paced back and forth as he struggled to keep to himself for the past three weeks—nothing from her—nothing to keep his feelings in check, not even her green light.It was every risky to go visit her in her workplace, as he appeared to be a potential threat to Damien, especially when Damien was the reason for this whole mess in the first place.He picked up his phone for the billionth time trying to place a call to her and explained things well enough to her. But he couldn't; he couldn't bring himself to explain the truth of the whole matter to her; that would not only end him; it would also end their whole family name and career. The way they had left things off, they knew Marie would probably see him as a bad person or worse, a monster that didn't deserve to live.Seth had always wished he wasn't born into the family he was born into, and quite true, he didn't like it there, but ever since he met Marie, he had wished more for that prayer to come to pass than ever before.He felt c

    "Well, I must say you look absolutely beautiful." Blythe complimented Aella as he opened the car door for her.Aella had never had alone time with Blythe before; spending the whole day with him felt so illegal, but she knew she had to leave her room at least once so she wouldn't rot away in misery.She had thought about it all so much that she didn't want to think about it anymore; she just wanted to start living life again.The life she had thought she could live with Damien, but it turns out that she couldn't.It's funny how the same life she craved for was the same life God had helped her package with her mom; she could live freely and not depend on anyone.For the first time, she smiled, and that smile was genuine.“And I must say you don't look bad yourself!”. Aella responded with a soft voice.Seeing her smile is his delight, and he wanted more of it to happen. He kicked the car to a start, and they started their little journey.Aella wasn't used to engaging in conversations wit

    Yes, maybe there were people out there who hurt you real bad, but you need to understand that they shouldn't make you stop loving; you just choose to love yourself enough to love them and not overlove them, so you know when to leave or when to live by grace, just like you would give yourself a voice when necessary.Aella had left Vollini and Becca in the living room to discuss while she just went to her roomma. DN just wallowed.She cuddled up in her bed and just stared out the window. She watched as the snow fell lightly; she could think of nothing else than just...Her baby…Damien was no longer on her mind; she couldn't really care less; he had done what he had to do, and he had done his worst already.If he cheated, it really wasn't any of her business; the only thing she blamed herself for was staying that long trying to take her power back.She sighed again, giving the fact that she had so many things planned out for herself and her baby.She looked down at her phone and realize

Aella wasn't in the midst of all these; they had allowed her to be alone for a while in her room, which they made sure to check on her on a few occasions.“Does he ever think at all, like why is he being the animal that he delivered me from, why is he being like that forsaken dude called Seth?" Collins raged again.Truthfully, he hadn't known his sister's case until they got home from the hospital, and immediately he heard it took the strength in Becca to keep him grounded and not go to confront Damien.Collins had just arrived at the right time.Becca was instantly notified of how inseparable Collins and Aella are; she saw how much love they both have for each other, and she is more than willing to love them both.But she wondered who this sort of guy Coll

    Not all that glittered seems to be gold... But for Damien, his vomit seems to glitter like gold and looks like the most beautiful diamonds from the outside.As he dropped Aella in the hospital, he turned back and went back to work. He didn't bother to ask what happened to her or what might happen to her; he asked then if she was going to be fine, and they said definitely the rest if it was none of his business, but unfortunately enough, they told him as much as he didn't want to hear about everything the doctor called him as he got to the office.The doctor's call came through as he was about to enter his office. On getting into the office, he noticed that Amelia was no longer in the office, including her bag and all.
