Damien and Aella walked into the office together.Damien held hands with Aella and this made everyone in the office surprised.Marie had fueled every one of them, and they were ready to taunt Aella.But when they saw her with Damien holding hands and smiling at each other, they remained mute.Damien and Aella got to their office and although Damien was reluctant to release Aella, there was a lot of work to be done.All the designs from the previous day had to be reworked with the final touches to be made.Damien got settled and they began to work.On various occasions, Aella caught Damien staring at her, and she was flustered.Soon, it was noon and Marie walked in holding a box of doughnuts. She was trying all possible means to entice Damien and today's trick was to serve him snacks, but Aella was fully prepared.When Marie placed the box on Damien's table, Aella immediately walked up to the table and carried the doughnuts."Ohh, thank you, Marie, you didn't have to," Aella said."What
Aella woke up very early, and before Damien and his mother, she decided to cook and clean the whole house as well.She had just finished with the cleaning and started cooking when Damien's mother joined her. Together, they both cooked their favorite dishes, including Damien's.Damien had woken up to an empty bed, and he frowned. He got up to go look for Aella, but when he opened the door, he saw his mother chatting happily with Aella. He shook his head and got into the shower with a small smile on his lips.When he got out of the shower, he got dressed and walked into the living room. He saw Aella and his mother setting the dining table, and he walked up to his mother, placing a gentle kiss on her forehead."Good morning, Mother," Damien greeted his mother and took a seat after taking a glance at Aella, who was spreading jam on the toast."Good morning, Damien, but what was that? You just greeted me; what about Aella?" Damien's mother said.When Aella heard her name, she raised her hea
For hours, Aella played with the dog; she named her Aeyra. 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. 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
Damien drove Aella to the hospital to see her grandmother. They stopped by a florist shop to get flowers and also by the bakery to get her grandmother's favorite sweet.When they got to the hospital, Damien decided to let Aella go in alone while he talked to the doctor about her grandmother's health.Damien was about to open the doctor's office when his phone rang. Aella had already gone to her grandmother's room with the flowers and sweets.It was his mom calling, and he answered the call. But before he could say anything, she beat him to it."What a terrible son I have," Damien's mother mocked."Mom, how could you say that? I am sorry I have not been able to call you; things are a bit crazy over here," Damien tried to explain. "Crazy? Is Aella alright? What happened?" Damien's mother asked, worry evident in her voice."Mom, is Aella the only one you care about?" Damien yelled."Of course, tell me, what is the problem?" She asked again."Aella is fine though; work is hectic, and we a
Damien left early for work. He was angry at Aella and wanted to avoid her at all costs.Aella was worried as Damien was not home when she woke up. She tried calling him, but he did not answer any of the calls.Aella then decided to get ready for work. She had just finished dressing when her phone buzzed.It was a text message from Damien.He sent her a message notifying her of a meeting they had with a client.Aella then figured out that he was at work already. She put on her accessories and packed her hair after checking her fit for the day. She set Aeyra's food and left the house.Aella could not find the driver, so she called a cab. She was halfway to the office when another text from Damien came in. The clients wanted to meet at a restaurant and not the office, so Aella told the cab driver to change direction.The traffic on the way to the restaurant was bad, and Aella arrived late. Damien and the other clients were seated waiting for her."I am sorry, the traffic was quite bad," A
Damien had left the restaurant and headed to his bachelor's pad; it was a place he always visited whenever he needed an escape room.He could not sleep last night, and the pad was close to the office, so he decided to go there for a while to rest.Coming to the office now, he was met with this commotion. "What's going on here?" Damien asked. He looked at the woman kneeling and holding Aella.Damien pulled Aella away from the woman's hold, and this made Aella cry more."Who are you?" Damien asked the woman."I am Aella's mother," Maggie said as she turned to Damien in her kneeling position.Damien was shocked; he had never thought of it before. Aella had a mother! And he was not aware of it.He turned to look at Aella, expecting her to say something, but she kept on crying.Damien dismissed the colleagues who had gathered to watch the show and asked the officers to take Maggie to the visitor lounge.Damien then dragged Aella to his office, and immediately he closed the office door. Aell
"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
"Let us not fight over the phone. Where are you now?" Collins asked as he noticed Aella was upset."Leaving the office, and you?" Aella asked back; she had already calmed down a bit, although she was still angry."At the hospital with Mom and Granny, she told me about the dinner at the restaurant; the driver is here to pick us up; we will be there in a few minutes," Collins replied."See you then," Aella said as she ended the call.She turned, and she saw Damien staring at her. "Is there something on my face?" Aella asked."No, let us get going," Damien said as he opened the door for Aella.They got into the car, and Damien drove to the restaurant. The drive was quiet, and soon they got to the restaurant.Damien parked the car, but Aella refused to get off. He waited for minutes before asking, "Are we going to sit in the car forever?""If possible, yes," Aella replied."Come on, Aella, it is just dinner, food, wine, and talk; how bad can it be?" Damien said."I just need some time," A
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
Just at the beginning of dusk, there was a man who you would consider lonely due to his demeanour and the way he looked so unlikely, he looked destabilised he look tormented like he had from NS fetching out his should price by piece. He suddenly realised how much he had taken from her ,how much thing he had stolen and as much he was willing to give it back, he knew he wasn't in the right position to go ve it because initially je had stolen it from her.Damien stood on the highway his car parked by the side of the road as he stared AFR off into the distance his eyes fixated on something -the city lights but his eyes wasn't on them his eyes were remembering and capturing something's that would shine as bright as the city lights.Her eyes Over time he realised that he had witnessed how the glow in her eyes disappeared each was eryryutme he became an asshole, every time he decuded ti step down from being a man to bueng a toddler.He heaved a deep sigh as the whole guilt pulled a weight i
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. He answered the call and settled down.Luckily, the doctor happened to be his friend!!!“Hey Corniel!” He voiced over the phone, rearranging his fiel and just getting ready to head home.“You seemed to be in a hurry; was there something that came up?” Corniel asked as t
Sometimes things aren't always as they seem, sometimes it's the opposite and sometimes it's true but sometimes it's just complicated.But for Aella it was exactly what it seems like, Damien was slowly bringing in his ex into their marriage to replace her and guess what??She wanted it that way…At least with that she was out of the marriage and out of his life.“What was what?” She asked, popping a lollipop in her mouth.“Hmm, nice strawberry flavour!” She thought to herself after the full taste of the lollipop filled her mouth.She honestly didn't care about the useless and unrecognised tantrum Damien was throwing in fact nothing was going to make her care in this world, and If there's a next, she wouldn't even beat an eyes“That nonsense you did back there you thought was funny, what if everyone believed you?” “Why wouldn't they believe me, none of it was a lie” Aella shruggedAella scater so many months still wondered why Damien's lying capability still shook her,,.“Why does he l
