"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. But how did she get here in the first place? Aella thought to herself. She decided to head back to her room to prepare for the day.

Aella got to her room, brushed her teeth, and showered. It was already past noon, and she was hungry. She decided to head to the kitchen and prepare something. She had forgotten about yesterday's incident, as she was happy that she had spent the night in Damien's arms. Aella went to the kitchen and made a full lunch. She prepared a lot of things while dancing to her favorite songs. There were pancakes, eggs, lasagna, pasta, and lots more.

Aella set the table, excitedly waiting for Damien to come in. Damien walked into the dining room with his laptop and phone. He finished showering a long time ago but decided to remain in his room for a while, a

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. If you don't go to sleep now, Aella, first thing tomorrow morning I will return it to the pet store," Damien threatened.Aella then set the dog back into his cage as she carried it, heading to the room."Where are you going?" Damien asked."To sleep, of course," Aella replied, with a confused look on her face."With that?" Damien asked, pointing at the cage Aella was carrying."Yes, Aeyra will sleep with us in our room; do you have a problem with that?" Aella asked."No way, that dog is not staying in our room," Damien argued."I guess I will sle

    "Baby, when I got back, I didn't know how to reach you, so I met with Collins first. I begged and begged for your address, but he wouldn't budge. He said he needed your permission to do so before giving it out to me, but then his phone got stolen, so eventually I got the address from him," Maggie narrated."And Collins told you I was married, and this is my office?" Aella asked; she was drained at this point, and she didn't know whom to direct her anger at."Baby, it took a while for Collins to even talk to me, but he forgave me, and I asked him about you, and he told me everything. He also says that your husband doesn't treat you well, but I don't think that is true," Maggie answered as she turned to smile at Damien.Aella observed this but remained quiet."Won't you introduce me to your husband, Aella?" Maggie asked, with her gaze still fixed on Damien."Of course, Damien, this is Maggie, my mother, and mother, this is Damien, my husband," Aellla introduced.Maggie stood up and walke

    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. She wanted to be totally free so she could start living again.She's sat in the car; it's a new hair and a her new self. As they rode across the city, she looked back at Blythe, who seemed to be very happy and seemed to be thinking of something that made him smile every second. She looked away from his fac

    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

    Chapter 139“Just when you thought you had it all, there another shows up to be the worst."Collins paced back and forth in the living room of Becca's house as he wanted to tell Becca about how unruly Damien had been to his sister. 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.
