Aella’s face remained calm as she took in a deep breath, watching both her husband, who clearly had been acting like a senseless fool, and Marie, whose tears wouldn't be considered as crocodiles; there is nothing as fake as her tears on this earth.“What were you thinking, Aella? You have just proven yourself to be.”“Like Marie the certified whore?” Aella completed for him.There was no way Aella was letting anything that Damien or his accomplice Marie do slide.“You know my problem with you is you never listen; you are just like Maggie!” Damien lashed.Aella just smiled at his outburst of anger.She slowly walked up to him, the sound of her heels clicking and sounding like threats.“And I will show you I'm the true daughter of my mother, Damien Sullivan!” Aella smiled, dusting off an invisible dust on Damien's suit.I mean, what else would be running across Damien's mind?“What audacity she had grown into the past few days!” Damien thought to himself.She took another glance at Marie
Damien hurried out of the office once he was done piling a few pieces of paperwork, which he knew well to check again because he knew he did a lot of stupid shit in there.As he stepped out of his office, he noticed a few glances and whispers; the glances they gave him were so intense that he had to call Marie.“Sir, Ae… Sorry, your wife has called for a meeting in the cafeteria!” Marie revealed as she made her way to the cafeteria.Damien looked around as all of them hurried to the cafeteria.He stood at the entrance of the cafeteria to see what was going on.His wife was on the table giving a speech, and every sentence she spelled out held a bullet in it.“Why would she compare them to a dog?” He thought to himself. Wondering where this new confidence of hers resurrected from.“Or was it because I compared her to Maggie?” He thought again.She got off the table and started to head for his way, which was out of the cafeteria.She flashed him a smile on reaching the door to the cafete
Aella swayed gracefully in the pool as she relaxed her muscles. She had been tense ever since she saw Damien inside the house.His grip on her spelled something else, and the way he looked at her like she was some relic from Egypt. Deep, intoxicating, and concerning.“I can deal with this!” She assured herself while she practiced her floating lessons in the pool.Taking a deep breath, she ended her swimming session and started heading for the house.The snow was starting to take speed, and it started falling almost immediately. Aella decided to leave the pool. “I think I need to design something for some winter outfits for myself because this winter is going to be pretty crazy!” Her voice went a little higher as she mentioned ‘pretty’.She locked the door behind and started to ascend the stairs, just to get startled by the sound of a bottle slamming against the counter. “Damien!” She thought internally and rolled her eyes.He was starting to irk her.“Come here!” Damien almost whisp
Damien not only woke up to a warmness next to him, but he woke up to the familiar scent of her perfume.Aella's perfume.He twisted his frame to the other side of the bed as if to try and recall what happened."Urrh, I feel like I'm going to pass out!” He murmured.He held his head in confusion.Aella happened to wake up from her sleep and immediately jumped out of bed. She was still very mad at Damien; their little fling didn't mean it was over.“A little fling?” She blushed red at her thought.She slowly and carefully pulled the door to the room open and walked out.She felt her cheeks burn at the memory of their “little fling.”.She recalled how crazy it was.“Aella?” Damien called out, noticing the door to his room open up.He sat in bed for a few more minutes before he eventually decided to get up.He rushed into the bathroom and poured water on his face.He still couldn't think straight and decided to hop into the shower.“Arghhh!” He groaned in pain; he was very hungover, and h
Damien couldn't pick up the call because it was his mom; he knew what his mom was calling for and he wasn't ready for it.He gave Aella another glance before going to his seat.“Why is he even staring at me like that?” Aella reasoned as she shifted uncomfortably in her seat.She could hear his phone ring, and she couldn't wait for his eyes to get off her.“Did he just decline the call?” Aella exclaimed in her mind.She felt his eyes unraveling her like he could see through her skin into her soul.She sat there, acting like she didn't see him at all.Finally, Damien retreated to his seat.They both worked for a few hours without talking or saying anything to each other.“I should call Collins!” She reasoned as she stood up and started walking to the door.Damien's eyes trailed her as she took her first step of standing up from her chair.He wanted to voice out so badly and ask her what the previous night was all about.“Is she still even mad after what went down the previous night?”“D
“Drunk in bed?” Damien muttered to himself he immediately stood up yanked his bag and sprinted after her.“Aella!! Aella!” Damien called out.“Why on earth is he screaming my name like a siren?” Aella rolled her eyes as she took another route so Damien wouldn't know where she was.She kept on looking back to see if she really lost Damien.“Are you paying attention to where you are headed?” SlA familiar voiced echoed into Aella's ears as she hit someone for the third time that day.“If I hit one more person today, I'm finally going to lost it!” Aella scolded mentally.She loooked up to see the first person she had ran into that day, Blythe.They stared at each other for a few seconds, and before they knew it they both burst into laughter.“I don't know what's wrong with me!” Aella said between her laughter.“It's fine, I guess we might continue bumping it each other!” Blythe added After a few minutes they were done laughing out Their hearts.“You left quite in a hurry, I wanted to tel
It has been two weeks since Damien and Aella have been avoiding each other. They both resumed work at different times and they even both cook dishes on their own.They had arrived at work that morning and went about their day to day activities. Damien had been ignoring his mom's call or whenever he picked up he would avoid any questions pertaining to Aella.It was in this period he remembered that he could cook.Aella ignored him the whole time and got takeouts on some occasion where she was too stressed to cook..All of this didn't stop Damien from staring at her everyday and drawing sketches of her and he had promised to do that until they stopped talking.Damien thought of so many ways to make her jealous or lash out but everytime he does it, she just acts oblivious.He got cut out from work when a knock came on his door “Come in!” Marie walked in with her short skirt that barely reached the lower part of her laps and still Aella saw that Damien wasn't having any problem with it.
Chapter 90“Why did she leave when I told her not to?” Damien muttered to himself sipping down on his cup of tea and staring into the sketch of Aella he had drawn.That was how she looked that day, a beautiful red ribbon on her hair with a warm chocolate brown dress.He sighed again taking another dip of his tea.He started to wonder how long it was going to take for him to come back to his senses, but he didn't want to admit that he was wrong.He picked up his phone and called his mom.“Mom… how are you Doing?” “Better, son!”she replied shortly without saying any other word, which was unlike her.“How is Aella?” “Hope she's doing Better?"“Mom, come on what do you mean by she's doing better does that mean I'm not treating her right?”“And that would be the end of this call. Talk to you later.” Elena didn't spend one more second and she cut the call.Damien paced back and forth trying to understand why he felt empty whenever she left the house.He picked up his keys and dashed out
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
