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
Harriet walked into her office at exactly 10am and, as expected, she got a lot of judgmental stares from some of the workers who interpreted her lateness as a privilege she got for being the chairman’s daughter. Harriet kept her shoulders straight and her chin up, and she walked through the lobby, making her way to the elevator. Just as the doors were about to close, a hand stopped it and, to her surprise, it was Alexa. Releasing a soft breath, Harriet prepared herself for what was to come.“Miss Edward! I see that you have finally decided to show up. For a moment, I thought you would be taking the day off despite staying away from the company for two weeks.” Alexa smiled pretentiously.“I didn’t expect you to worry about me so much, Alexa. I am really touched.” Harriet replied with a matching smile, keeping her head high. She was not going to look like a weakling before Alexa.“Believe me, Harriet, I wasn’t…”“Save it, Alexa. I don’t have the time to exchange words with you today. A
“I didn’t realize this earlier because I didn’t take my time to think and investigate but, Adrian Daniels was Bethany’s boyfriend ten years ago. My guess is that they are still working together.” Tony finished and looked back up at Harriet only to find her staring at him like he was a clown. “Did you hear a thing I said, Harriet?” He asked, wondering why it seemed like she didn’t hear him. A few seconds later, Harriet chuckled and shook her head, taking a sip from her glass of apple juice that was already on the table. “Do you have any evidence, Tony? You see, I totally understand that I have not been a good friend to you since I arrived in New York, which is why I can totally understand your pain. But, you should know that I wouldn’t just believe things like this without proper evidence.” She cleared her throat and straightened her posture. “As someone who was a victim of lies, I cannot do that to another person.” She finished. “I don’t care if you do not believe me, Harriet. I am
