All through that night, Damien found it hard to sleep as he kept remembering the look on Harriet’s face when he tried forcing himself on her. He shouldn’t have done that but his mind was clouded with jealousy and the whiskey he took a few minutes before going to her room made things worse.

He wanted to give himself a punch in the face for doing that to her.

Now, all he could do was think of a way to rectify his mistake. That was a really foolish move on his path. Knowing Harriett, it would take a lot to get her forgiveness.

Their relationship had just taken steps backward because of that act.

The next morning, Harriett woke up early as she wanted to join Stacy in preparing breakfast. While in the kitchen, she overheard some of the maids gossiping about how she was trying to act like a wife as a way of winning Stacy’s heart. They thought she was trying to come back into the house permanently as Damien’s wife.

Harriett scoffed. She was no longer certain of her decision to give Damie

Yes, Harriet should reach out to Tony. Maybe he would realize Evelyn is actually Bethany the woman who shot him all those years ago. Evelyn is a dangerous person...

She was a little busy being kidnapped and then worrying about Damien being in a coma. Not really a time to worry about Tony.

    Harriett was going through some of the emails from Colin, her assistant. A tired groan left her lips as she realized that being away from the office for two weeks had left her with a pile of work. She was about sending a response to Colin when Stacy walked into the room.“Hey. I and Thomas will be taking the kids on a ride. We’ll be back before it’s dark, okay?” She smiled and left the room, leaving Harriett.As soon as Stacy left the room, it suddenly dawned on her that it was going to be just her and Damien in the house. “Oh, Mother. I see what you’re trying to do.” Harriett sighed, shutting her laptop down as she threw a pillow on her head and screamed into it.She thought of just staying in her room until Stacy returned but it would make Damien think she was avoiding him so, she decided to take a walk and probably stop by the wine bar.When she got there, she was surprised to see that Damien was already seated with a glass of wine that looked like it hadn’t been touched.

    Tony stared at his phone with bloodshot eyes, gripping it tightly. He lifted his eyes to look at the building and all he could see was Harriett and Damien entangled in white sheets, making love. His heart tightened at that imagination and jealousy filled him. “Sir? Do I notify Mrs Daniels if your presence?” The middle aged man said and Tony turned to him, his body shaking with anger. “Miss Edward.” He corrected through gritted teeth, making the poor man writhe in fear. “She isn’t married to that man.” Tony said, contemplating on his decisions. A few seconds later, he came to a conclusion. “I’ll be waiting in the living room. Let Harriett know that I am here.” He said and walked into the building, being led by the middle aged man. Meanwhile, Harriett and her ex-husband, Damien were having their moment and had moved from the wine bar to Damien’s room, both lost in each other’s arms. Harriet’s heart was thumping loudly as she anticipated their first real sex. As Damien laid her on

    Damien couldn’t stand the scene before him so, he decided to make his presence known. Hearing footsteps behind her, Harriet didn’t need any one to tell her who it was. She was home alone with Damien so, it had to be him. Worried that he might make a meaning out of their hug, she quickly broke the hug and turned to him. Tony who saw him before Harriett did, didn’t let go of her hand even as she pulled out. Instead, he threw Damien a hateful glare. “Long time no see, Damien.” He said with a lopsided grin, reaching out for a handshake but all Damien was focused on was his hand on his ex-wife’s arm. Harriett traced his eyes and saw that they were fixed on Tony’s hands. She immediately shrugged them off, careful not to seem rude and she moved away from Tony. Damien peeled his eyes away from Harriet and turned to Tony with a forced smile. “I didn’t see you around for a while. I was beginning to think you had decided to finally return to your home.” He said, making it obvious that he want

    When Adrian walked into the house, everyone had already returned to their rooms and were waiting for dinner. “Did Dad step out?” Calling one of the maids, he asked as he had noticed that the car was still packed in front of the house and not in the garage. “Yes, Sir Adrian. Your father went out with your mother and the twins.” She revealed with a scowl, deliberately letting him know that Harriett and Damien were alone. None of the maids liked Adrian. Not even when he was falsely accused of having an affair with Harriett. They had always loved Harriet for her humility and kindness. They also knew how much she loved her husband then so, they continued to pray that they reconcile, especially now that they had children. But, Adrian was only getting in the way and they could all see it. “Without Harriet?” Adrian asked and the maid nodded with a smile, leaning in so he could hear her properly. “WITHOUT HARRIETT.” She said, loud enough for him to hear and his expression changed to that o

    “Do you have to go? Hmm?” Damien asked as he watched Harriet pack her clothes. Addison and Adrian were already downstairs with their grandparents and were already packed. “I can’t stay here forever, you know? We aren’t married anymore. It’ll be odd for me to live here.” She chuckled without looking at him, but she could feel his domineering presence behind her, the sweet smell of his perfume gracing her nostrils. “Why would it be? We were once married, Harriett. It won’t be odd for us to live together. So many couples live together without being married these days.” Damien replied and moved closer to her, turning her around so she could look at him. “Oh, Damien. We’re not like everyone. Once the press finds out that we’re living together even though we are divorced, it’s going to affect both our companies. Have you forgotten that you are one of the richest men in the country?” Harriet said, rubbing his arm lightly. “Why do we have to care about what people would say? Hmm? They’ll a

    “Welcome back, Miss Edward.” Collin greeted with a smile… a genuine one. He had to be the only person in the building that was happy with her return… asides her father, that is. Harriet returned his smile, glad that she had someone on her side. She definitely needed some positivity around her, especially with everything going on in her life. “Thank you, Collin. How have you been?” She asked as she settled down, preparing herself to drown in the pile of work she was certain was waiting for her. “Very well, Miss Edward. I must say, It’s nice having you back.” He said, switching on his tablet, a sigh leaving his lips as he scrolled through the numerous activities on her schedule. It was a lot, even for her. A week wouldn’t even be enough for her to finish everything she had in her schedule. He felt bad for her. “Come on, Collin. Let me have it.” She waved her hand at the tablet since she saw that he was being too sentimental. Collin slowly gave her the tablet and closed his eyes. As

    Later that night, Harriett got a text from Damien, telling her that he would be dropping the twins off at their school and that she didn’t have to worry about it. Harriet thanked him. It was really thoughtful of him and the fact that he also had work that morning warmed her heart. Harriett didn’t sleep when she got home. After spending some time with her twins and having dinner, she went to her room and opened her laptop to complete some work, so it didn’t pile up. She had not even begun when a call from Damien came in. A blush appeared on her face upon seeing his name. He had texted her only one hour ago, and he was already calling. “Why are you awake, Harriet?” His voice came up the minute she picked up the call. “I’ll be going to bed soon. I just have a few documents to review.* Harriet replied, and she heard him hiss. “Go to bed, my love,” He said without realizing it. It is only when the line goes silent that he realizes what he has said. Harriet bit her lips in an attempt t

    “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

    As the party continued, Tony mingled with some of the people he was familiar with. He also made sure that Lily was by his side at all times.“Who is this beautiful lady, Tony?” Various people asked and he gave them the same response which still came as a shock to all of them.As the conversation with some of Tony’s business partners got more intense, Lily decided to leave them for a bit.“I’ll be in the restroom for a bit.” She whispered to Tony who gave a brief nod. His eyes followed her until she disappeared, making sure no one followed her into the restroom.As she walked, she couldn’t help but admire the hallway that led to the restroom. It had been decorated beautifully with flowers as though it was a part of the party hall.Mehdi might be a terrible person but he had good taste.She entered the restroom and to her relief, it was empty. She washed her hands for some relief and leaned on the wall, hoping to give Tony and his friends some time to finish up their conversation.A few

    “She’s my girlfriend,” Tony announced with his arms wrapped around Lily and his expression stern. Lily’s eyes widened but she quickly composed herself as she didn’t want to be noticed by the reporters who were watching them like a hawk. After Tony’s big reveal, the reporters erupted into chaos and they began raining questions on Tony, each of them eager to know how and when he got a girlfriend because most of the people in the country were starting to think he was gay or just hated women. There was a time he was spotted in public with Daisy and photos started circulating online as people began to spread rumors about him having a child. They also went on the search for who the mystery woman might be and at that time, he was close friends with Harriet who already had two children and was always around him. So, to avoid getting her in trouble, he quickly denied the accusations and revealed that Daisy was his niece, bringing Rachael as proof. “How long have you known her for, Dr Martin

    “Oliver? What the fuck does he want with you?” Tony asked, his expression hardening as he saw the texts on Lily’s phone.“Oh, it’s nothing. He’s just checking up on me since he didn’t see me at work. I have been helping him out at the hospital.” Lily explained innocently.“Can I see?” Tony asked and Lily freely handed him her phone for him to go through their texts.As Tony read through the messages, he realized that Oliver had been keeping tabs on Lily without her knowing. He used normal questions that wouldn’t look fishy to keep track of her activities and Lily who was as naive as a child kept giving him the information he needed.“What’s wrong?” Lily asked when she saw the angry look on Tony’s face. She wondered what he had seen on her phone that made him angry.“This Oliver guy. I have a feeling that there’s more to him. You need to be careful around him.” Tony warned and Lily frowned, taking her phone and pocketing it.“Don’t tell me you’re jealous of him, Tony.” Lily sighed. “We

    Three Days Later.Lily rolled over to hit the snooze button on her phone as the alarm pierced through her sleep.“Five more minutes..” She hummed like a five-year-old.Just as she was about drifting off to sleep she suddenly remembered that she had to be at the hospital.“Shit!” She exclaimed and jumped off the bed. When she checked her phone, she saw that it was a few minutes past eight which meant that she had less than an hour to prepare for work.She quickly jumped into the shower and in a few minutes, she was out. Once she was all dressed up, she hurried downstairs to meet with Tony who was expected to be waiting for her.When she arrived at the living room, she found Tony sitting on a sofa with Rachael both laughing at a joke that was cracked by him.Sensing a presence behind, Tony turned and found Lily staring at them with curiosity written all over her face.“Good morning, Lily.” Tony greeted with a smile.“Morning, Tony. Morning, Rachael.” She greeted. “Why didn't you wake me

    Lily sat at her desk, going through the files for the patients she would be sending handling. When she finished, she grabbed her tools and headed to the pediatric ward.As she walked into the brightly colored room, she spotted a little girl who didn’t look anything above six seated on her bed with a stuffed bunny clutched to her chest.She had a beanie on her head to cover her baldness as she had lost most of her hair to cancer but despite her frail frame and the IV connected to her arm, her eyes sparkled with warmth and happiness.“Good morning, my darling.” Lily greeted with a warm smile as she approached her bedside. “How are you feeling today?” Lily asked, checking her temperature.The girl looked up and smiled brightly, her eyes shining with excitement. “I am okay, Nurse Lily. They served me my favorite today! Chocolate pudding!!” She squealed and Lily chuckled.“You like chocolate pudding more than your medicines, don’t you?” Lily asked, touching her cheeks playfully.“Yes!

    “This is about Lily, isn’t it?” Rachael asked with her brows raised. “Yes, it is.” Tony agreed, taking his hands up. “You know how she feels about you not speaking to her right?” He asked and Rachael’s expression shifted to sadness. “I’ll be honest with you, Tony. I think I was too harsh on her. I have been feeling this way for a while but I do not know how to apologize to her. I fear I might have hurt her badly. She avoids me these days and I can see fear in her eyes whenever we meet.” Racheal lamented with a pained expression. Tony let out a sigh of relief and a light smile. He was glad that Rachael was thinking that way. “All you have to do is let her know that you are not upset with her and you want things to return to how they were.” He said. “The good part is, you have the opportunity to do that today.” He smiled. Before he heard her speak, he was going to tell her what Lily’s surprise was and plead with her not to make Lily feel bad but now, he planned on letting Lily do he

    A smirk appeared on Tony’s face as he stared at the email from the office of Mehdi King. It seemed like God was on his side. The timing was perfect. Ever since he found out about him being the leader of the SNAKERS, he had wanted an opportunity to meet him and this had just been given to him on a platter of gold. He was going to take Lily as his plus one since it would be her first time attending an event with him by her side. To Tony, it was a way of announcing her to the world as his partner as well as preparing her for the life ahead. He quickly made his way upstairs and placed a light knock on Lily’s door. A few seconds later, she heard the door click and it opened to reveal Lily with a towel tied tightly around her chest. Her hair and some part of her body were slightly wet and he understood that she had just got out of the shower. Even though he had made a promise not to think of anything sexual around her, his eyes and body seemed to have a mind of their own. It was to

    “She is all by herself, boss. This is the perfect time to take her. Give us the order and consider it done.” One of the men said into the phone with his eyes still glued to Lily as she headed back to the hospital on foot.A sigh was heard from the line, a sign of hesitation from Louis and one of the men concluded that Louis wouldn’t be able to give the order since Lily was his ex-girlfriend. So, he gave a sign to the man who was on the call with him, telling him to go ahead with the initial plan regardless of what Louis instructs.“What is your conclusion, boss?” The man asked, hoping Louis would go ahead with the plan but, there was still hesitation from him so, they decided to end the call and kidnap Lily before she was completely out of sight.They left their hiding place and began approaching Lily but just as they were about to get close to her, Tony came out of nowhere and wrapped his hands around her, oblivious to what was about to happen. The men immediately took a U-turn and r

    “Also, the man she is with now is Tony Martinez, the owner of TM Hospital.”At the mention of Tony’s name, a frown appeared on Mehdi’s face as he visibly tensed up. “Tony Martinez?” He asked again to be sure Louis didn’t make a mistake.“Are you sure?”“Yes, Draco. I have seen him in person myself.” Louis replied and Mehdi gritted his teeth in anger.Tony was no stranger to him. He had received a lot of donations from Tony and had even given his donations to Tony’s hospital. He had exchanged pleasantries with him at various events, parties, and award ceremonies so, he knew that Tony was a patriotic citizen who frowned at corruption.If Louis’s girlfriend opens her mouth and reveals his secret to Tony, he is sure he and his gang will be done for.Draco let out a long sigh, his face hardening as he processed the information he had just received. “I know Tony Martinez alright.
