Hello, dear readers. Please, share your thoughts on this chapter.☺️
“What do I have to do?” Those words replayed in Evelyn’s head all through her walk out of the hotel. Her visit to his suite wasn’t so useless after all. Jumping and swinging her hands, Evelyn arrived in the parking lot with a fulfilled look on her face.As she was about to get to her car, a woman and a little boy walked by her, the woman staring like she had seen her before. Evelyn found it odd that she was being stared at like that, so, she looked at the woman closely to see if she was a familiar face and, as she did, her eyes widened in shock. It was almost like she had seen a ghost.She quickly turned her face away, entering her car and zooming off. Her hands trembled as she drove out of the hotel and beads of sweat formed on her forehead.“No way! It can’t be.” She shook her head slowly as she kept seeing the face on her head,“Isn’t that Rachael, Tony’s sister?” She said with horror. Even though she had never seen her in person, Evelyn knew Rachael very well. As a matter of fact
Damien walked into the elevator with a smile on his face. By his side was his ex-wife, Harriet. He took hold of her hands as the elevator dinged. His plan was to show everyone that he was back with Harriet. He didn’t want the men at her company to think she was still single.Harriet noticed what he was doing and only smiled, shifting closer to him. Everyone who was present in the lobby saw them and couldn’t hide their shock. Both Harriet and Damien knew that they would be the trending topic the next day but, they didn’t care. It was about time people knew that their relationship was blossoming again.Damien took Harriet to a five-star restaurant and ordered her favorite Italian pasta and chicken breasts. After lunch, he waited at her office until she was done before taking her home again.By the time he arrived at his house, it was already 8:36pm. Tired from the day’s activity, Damien took a bath and hurried to bed. He was about to drift to sleep when his phone rang. Since he wasn’t i
Adrian balled his fists and growled inwardly at Damien, jealousy and annoyance cursing through his veins.All of a sudden, Damien no longer wanted to leave Harriet’s office. The fact that Adrian was there made him feel the need to stick around. He couldn’t trust Adrian, and it wasn’t a hidden fact that the man was in love with Harriet.No! He just couldn’t leave.“You should leave, Adrian. Harriett is a bit busy,” Damien said, and Adrian smiled, but it didn’t get to his eyes. He was beyond pissed.“Weren’t you leaving, brother?” He asked, raising his brows at Damien.“It’s none of your business, Adrian. Leave.” Damien said one last time before going back into Harriet’s office. Just before the door closed, Adrian heard Harriett’s tender voice.“Damien! I thought you left. Is everything okay?” He heard her say, but before he could hear Damien’s response, the door closed, shutting him out.To say that Adrian felt humiliated and embarrassed would be an understatement. He looked at Collin,
The next morning, Damien arrived at his office at exactly 7:00am as he wanted to finish up some of the work he had for the day quickly and go to Harriet's. Harriet had arranged a meeting with her lawyer as she was the only registered parent to her children. Damien made a mental note to change that as soon as possible. They were to be in court at 10:30am to get the paperwork done for their son, Adrian, and officially change his name.By 9:50am, Damien was done with his work and headed to Harriet’s office. When he got there, she had finished some of her work and set the rest aside for the evening. “Shall we?” He stretched out his hands to her, which she took happily, a blush making its way to her cheeks. “Have you thought of a name?” She asked once they were seated in the car. This time around, she wanted him to pick out the name himself, not just because she had made a mistake the first time, but because she knew that it would make him happy. This would be his first time participati
“No!” Evelyn shook her head, pulling her hands away from the officer. “You can’t do this to me, Damien! You can’t.” She screamed at Damien, but Harriet blocked her from getting to him and landed another slap on her face. Evelyn’s eyes widened in shock, anger cursing through her veins.“This is for framing me four years ago.” Harriet said and slapped her again. “This is for kidnapping me and my children and trying to kill me.” She said and, landed continuous slaps on her face, pouring out her anger until Damien grabbed her by the waist and pulled her away.“Please, take her away.” Damien instructed the police officers, who nodded and started dragging Evelyn away. Just before she left, she turned around with red eyes to face Damien.“I love you, Damien, and I’ll never give up on you. This cannot be the end.” She said and turned to Harriett with a psychotic smirk before the officers dragged her away.As soon as she left, Harriet slumped on the bed, holding her chest as she breathed out i
“I have been arrested, Adrian. Those fuckers put me behind bars. You have to get me out, baby.” Evelyn cried as soon as she heard Adrian’s. Meanwhile, Adrian shut his eyes and gripped his hair as he internally cursed Evelyn. He quickly cut the call and switched of his phone.“I fucking new that she would mess things up,” He screamed, throwing his phone across the room. He knew how the police operated, so he knew that they were going to track him using his number.'That fucking stupid bitch!'. “Now that she has been caught, she wants to implicate me too? No fucking way.” He said and grabbed his keys, but a call from his second phone stopped him. He only used the previous phone to communicate with Evelyn and handle matters regarding his slush phone. Thinking it might be an important call, he picked up.“You fucking Traitor! You think you can abandon me? Huh, Adrian? You’re wrong if you think I’ll go down alone!” He heard Evelyn threaten, her words laced with venom.“How the fuck did y
“The present is all that matters, Harriet.” Damien said, and kissed her, more passionately this time.Harriet gave in to the kiss, letting his taste distract her from her pain. Damien lifted her in his arms and carried her, taking the stairs that led to his room. While they walked, their lips were still connected as all they wanted to do was savor each other’s bodies. ‘It is long overdue.’ Damien thought as he quickly opened the door and placed her softly on his bed. He pulled out of the kiss and stared at her, watching as she struggled to catch her breath.“Let me make love to you.” He said and kissed her forehead tenderly. Words couldn’t describe how Harriet felt, hearing him say those words.It was going to be their first time together. Well, second, but Harriet wasn’t going to count the first because he had no memory of it. Harriet wrapped her hands around his neck, placing a brief kiss on his lips before nodding her head in approval. With a smile on his face, Damien began to un
Damien felt a movement beside him and when he opened his eyes, he was met with Harriet’s sleeping figure, her body snuggled up against him. He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her closer as a faint smile appeared on his lips. Taking a peek at the window, he could tell that it was already morning. A groan left his lips and he shut his eyes, pretending not to have noticed the bright morning sun.He didn’t want his moment with Harriet to end just yet. Ten minutes later, Harriet’s eyes fluttered open but was met by Damien’s bare chest, which was directly in front of her. A blush crept up to her face as she remembered all that happened last time. As a matter of fact, her insides still ached, and she could still feel him inside her. It felt like it was her first time and she found the pain pleasurable. If she didn’t have to go to the office that morning, she would definitely be up for a second round.She managed to raise her head from his chest and was immediately met with a bright
Final Chapter… Before Louis could utter another word to plead with her, the sounds of sirens were heard, signifying that the police had arrived. “You bitch! You already called the police!” He screamed and angrily pulled out a gun from his pocket and pointed at Lily causing Rachael to scream. “You think I wouldn’t come here prepared?” He asked and laughed maniacally. “I knew that I couldn’t trust this doctor and guess what, I was right!” He said, moving the gun from Lily to Tony. “How dare you try to trick me?!” He yelled at Tony who now had his hands up in surrender. “Put the gun down and we can talk, Louis. Put it down.” Tony said calmly, slowly moving towards Lily. “Stop right there!” Louis screamed and cocked the gun, scaring everyone in the room. “I told you, Lily. I told you that nothing can separate us. If I die, you die. We go down together, Lily. Do you hear me?!” He said, grinning eerily. “Please, stop. Please, Louis. You need to stop!” Lily cried, rubbing her hands to
“It's Louis. He just arrived at the house. Come on, Lily. You'll finally get that apology.” Tony said and grabbed her hand. “I’ll take him to the guest quarters first and then, you can come in ten minutes later.” He said and kissed her lips before leaving the house. “Oh my God,” Lily exclaimed as soon as he left. Her palms were sweaty and her heart was racing. After so many weeks, she was going to see Louis and it was possibly going to be the last time. “I can't believe this is happening.” She beamed, pacing. Tony, on the other hand, had met up with Louis who was waiting at the front door and was now leading him to the guest house. When they arrived, Louis sighed in relief as he saw the luxurious room that had been prepared for him to stay until he was able to leave the country by sea. “Thank you so much for this, Tony. I swear I won't cause you any trouble until I leave. You won't even know I’m here.” He thanked, breathing like he had just completed a marathon. Tony nodded and
Louis noticed that a few minutes after his call, the policemen behind him slowed down and turned around, abandoning their chase. A sigh of relief left his lips and he finally stopped his car. It was obvious that Tony had made some calls.He then realized that as long as he stayed loyal to Tony he would be safe. As for Mehdi, he was history and would now be punished by the law.His phone dinged and when he checked, it was a text from Tony.Tony: [Come over to my house. That’s the only safe place for you. You can leave when things settle down. I’d send the address to you but I know you already know that.]He nodded as if Tony was in front of him and hit the accelerator, driving to Tony’s house.**“Lily! Lily!” Rachael screamed from the living room to Lily who was in the kitchen with the chef. “You need to see this!”Lily appeared in no time with an apron around her. She had been trying to distract herself from the fight with Tony by helping the chefs out while Rachael kept herself bus
“You’re being recorded, boss! It's on live stream!” Mehdi’s secretary screamed with a look of horror on his face. Mehdi on the other hand looked like he had just been punched in the face. “It's all over the news. You need to stop!” His secretary yelled.The blood in Mehdiface dried out immediately and the smile on his face vanished. Scrambling around like a madman, he looked for the TV remote and switched on the television. Just as his secretary had said, the first thing Mehdi saw on the news was a video of himself and his secretary staring into his TV which was happening in real-time. That could only mean that they were being recorded by a hidden camera. He looked at the TV one last time, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead. That was when he realized that the hidden camera was in Tony’s direction. When he turned, there was a smirk on Tony’s lips as he watched Mehdi panic, knowing that he had just told the whole world about his crimes.“You…” He growled and launched at Tony, det
“What just happened?” Rachael said as soon as he walked out. She had been eavesdropping on their conversation for a while. Not that you could blame her. They were being extremely loud so she didn’t even have to try. “Not now, Rachael.” He groaned, dragging his feet to the minibar. “Don’t walk away from me, Tony. Not after what just happened!” She scolded, pulling him back by his arms. She stepped in front of him and let out a frustrated sigh, running her hand through her hair. “I swear, you both stress the fuck out of me.” She hissed. “Listen, I don’t care what she did to you, all I know is that she’s not leaving this house. You’re acting rashly because you’re angry. When you calm down, you’re going to hate yourself so, you’re going to take a break in my room and have a long nap while I speak to Lily. When you wake up, you can speak to her again. At least you’ll be a lot calmer then.” She said, rubbing the side of his arms assuringly. Tony groaned but succumbed and walked away, st
After his conversation with Rachael, Tony returned to Lily but she was nowhere to be found. The sound of running water in the bathroom informed him that she was having a shower. He then decided to leave so that she could have some privacy but, as he was about to leave, his phone rang.Looking at the caller, his jaw tightened in anger.It was Louis.After a few rings, he picked up but said nothing, waiting for him to speak.“Tony! I have great news.” He started and Tony hummed, walking out of Lily’s room as he didn’t want her knowing he was involved with Louis.“I just had a meeting with Mehdi.” Tony paused in his tracks and he wondered if he had judged Louis wrongly.Was he really going to tell him about his conversation with Mehdi? If that was the case then, Louis might not be as bad as he thought.“Really? What was it about?” He asked, now in his room. He shut the door and sat at the edge of the bed, listening attentively to Louis.“Well, I managed to get on his good books once aga
Tony sat on his bed, his AirPods plugged in and Lily sleeping peacefully on his lap. He had been making plans on how to bring Mehdi to justice with the help of Louis when his phone beeped, telling him that Louis was on the move. He initially ignored it as Louis was always on the move but when he saw where his location was, he took out his AirPods and listened in on their conversation.At first, he thought it was a part of Louis’s plan to help him out and probably get something on Mehdi but, as he listened in, he realized that he was wrong.Louis was betraying him a few hours after their conversation.Not that he didn’t expect it. Men like Louis weren’t to be trusted and he knew that. The only reason he was too bothered initially was because he knew he had Louis’s phone tapped so if he tried to deceive him, he would already be aware.“Well, that was quicker than expected.” He whispered and chuckled lightly before carefully taking Lily’s head to a pillow and leaving the room.“Rachael!”
“It’s the fucking Snakers, man.” Immediately the words left Raphael’s mouth, Tony's shoulders fell and his head dropped to the headboard.“And I hired him into my company without knowing about this.” He hissed, ruffling his hair out of anger and annoyance.“I should have been more careful for fuck’s sake. I put her life in danger by not being careful enough.”“That’s in the past now though, man. She’s out of danger and now we know not to be careless with things like this.” Raphael cut him off, to stop Tony from blaming himself.Tony nodded and returned his hands to the steering wheel. “You’re right. What I have to do now is find him and make sure he apologizes to her. Knowing Lily, she’s probably losing her mind right now thinking something bad has happened to him.” He said with a stressed sigh.“I can imagine how betrayed she’d feel when she learns the truth.” He added. “Anyway, thank you for your help, Raphael. I really appreciate it.” He thanked him and ended the call.**“I swear
Later that day….Tony walked into the private booth of a famous club a few minutes away from his house, where he had agreed to meet with his guest. He was ushered in by a waiter who pointed to the guest who had been waiting, his back to Tony.Tony thanked the waiter and headed to the couch where his guest was seated. As soon as he got there, the face of the guest lighted up and he leaned forward.“I was shocked to learn that you wanted us to meet. I was convinced it was a prank but, seeing you here, It’s obvious I was wrong.” He said with a smirk on his lips.“Like I said, this meeting is overdue. It has been on my mind for a while now.” Tony replied, his face as hard as stone. He then exhaled and leaned forward.“I have an offer for you, Louis.” He said calmly and Louis’s eyes widened but he quickly composed himself and crossed his legs.“You’re not going to give me money and tell me to stay away from Lily, are you? You should know that’s not going to work by now.” He laughed, his to
