Relationship

Chapter 8: Relationship

 

  "Well young master" Derek was quick to notice that Damon hasn't really said anything about his real identity, so it wasn't in his place to reveal anything"let me the first to congratulate you on you marriage to the young mistress".

  "Thanks bro, it's all thanks to the stupid shopping mall idea you had"

  Derek laughed heartily "Dude, its wasn't totally my fault for forgetting that you needed a new tie".

  Damon smacked the back of his head and kissed Ryella forehead "shut up, don't embarrass me any further".

  Ryella smiled inwardly, she finally realized that the relationship between them was much more than employer-employee relationship, they were like best friends and she wasn't wrong.

  "So when's the wedding, I have to inform the rest of the guys on advance?"

  "That's right, those mfing (mother f**cking) bastards" Damon said sarcastically. "The official wedding date would be decided once my bride here is ready"

  "Uhm" Ryella flushed in embarrassment "you seem to know everything about me but I know nothing about you, not even your name".

  "Damon, Damon Weston" he said.

  She gasps loudly, shrinking away from his reach, she whispered loud enough for everyone to hear in the now quiet car "The demon CEO".

  Unlike Ryella, Damon was quite a popular figure in the country who's name can cause chills to run down your spines, the law was Damon, Damon was the law. Everyone knew better than to try and manipulate or mess with him because they'll end up bankrupt the next minute. The sound of his name causes dread and fear to reside in everyone's mind. That's why he was dubbed the demon CEO, he is the most ruthless among all. His company, Weston Enterprise and CO is the no 1 ruling company which spreads across each fields ranging from entertainment to stocks, automobile, designer outfits, jewelries and so much more. Everything was managed and controlled by the most eligible bachelor in his twenties.

  "And you must be Derek Wayne his personal assistant" she blurted out. Her luck was simply great, of all the bachelors in the city, she had to get herself married to the greatest but dangerous one of them.

  "Stop the car! Leave us!"

  Derek stopped the car and ran out with his tail in between his legs, he didn't want to be available for what might happen next, many thoughts were on his mind 'Well boss, I always warned you that your scary personality might send the girl of your dream parking. I hope you can deal with this one so that I can get my vacation'

  "Why me?" She whispered as fear overtook her. She couldn't understand why he chose her out of all. He has a lot of ladies fawning around him with hopes that they could get his attention but he had to pick her, a complete nobody among his social circle, what devious plans does he have . She, who is just a foreign soul in a new world, no matter how vicious her plans turns out to be, she can't completely exterminate him, she can't be compared to him according to the rumors. There was even the rumor that he hated the touch of a woman and won't hesitate to get rid of whoever that touches him inappropriately but she she kissed him, she was supposed to be killed the next hour, why didn't he act against her immediately.

  "I love you, believe me"

  She stared into his eyes, she could see the massive turmoil of emotions hidden, he looked desperate, distraught. She was confused and disoriented.

  "We'll give it a try, I still want us to keep our relationship a secret"

  It felts as if a bolt of lightening struck his heart melting all icy thoughts,he drew closer to her, cupping her cheeks affectionately and hugs her. Nothing was said, no opinion voiced out, they wanted to enjoy the privacy.

  The cheeky voice of Derek interrupted "so how many kids have you planned? Five? No that's so little, maybe six. How about the process of making the kids, when is that gonna start? Right now?".

  

  She hid her face which was as red as a tomato in Damon's chest, while he smirked, seeing her flustered reaction

  "Shut up Derek and drive us home, I might consider letting you go on that vacation you can't seem to shut up about" That seemed to shut Derek up, he couldn't mess up his chances now but If only he knew the thoughts running through his boss head, he would have spat out blood.

  The ride to Damon's home was smooth and quiet, everyone immersed in their own thoughts, Ryella drifted off to sleep still stuck in Damon's embrace.

  She snuggled closer to the pillow and hugged the duvet, so soft. A sigh of satisfaction excaped from her lips unknowingly but the scent of food overwhelmed her nostrils. Who was cooking? It's smells so good. she immediately opened her eyes and found herself in an unfamiliar room and on a soft king sized sized bed, oh she could give in to the temptation of sinking back into those soft soft sheets but......

  Where was she?!

  The memories of what had transpired the previous night flooded her mind, so according to what she's thinking, this would be Damon's home at least that's what she had in mind. She looked down at herself, seeing herself wearing a siilky nightwear

  'Who changed me!' Blood rushed through her head causing her to feel quite dizzy and embarrassed 'Had he seen everything' she muttered to herself "What's there to hide, besides you're already married to him but not totally official yet but who cares"

  She slowly and grudgingly left the bed not after giving it one last pat 'ill be back'. She had thought the room was huge but stepping into the bathroom was another world entirely, everything sparkled and shined. 'Whats the essence of being rich if you can't spend it, he's really got tastes" She quickly did her business in the toilets before soaking in the already prepared jacuzzi. Her tensed muscles relaxed at the feeling of the warm water which was filled with roses and body wash. Despite how much she wanted to soak in there, she couldn't get the scent of the food off her mind. 

   Wearing nothing but a white bathrobe, her feets made soundless noises as she made her way to the kitchen, she carefully admired the house, it was like a castle, the chandeliers and the soft lights all made her feel special and giddy on the inside. Nothing prepared her for the sight she was about to see, apart from the rare delicacies being prepared, the back view of the shirtless figure of Damon caught her eyes, the way his muscles moved as he chopped some ingredients. She didn't realize that she had started staring and had started forming thoughts in her head.

  'Oh how would those arms fell wrapped around my waist, I really want to touch those strong muscles which are meant to hold me tight but .....'

  "Like what you see" The sarcastic of Damon jerked her back to reality, she looked at him, noticing a cocky grin on his handsome face. As much as her brain warned her,she couldn't stop her eyes from trailing from his neck to his strong, sturdy chest and eight packs abs that were very visible."you know what? You can touch if you want instead of eating me with your eyes"

  "No thanks" Ryella looked away as if she couldn't spare him another glance and catwalks walked to the dining area "I've seen better" she lied, this was literally the best male specimen she has ever set her eyes on but she intended to mess with him.

  She didn't notice that he was following her until she felt herself being spun around, almost falling but of cause, of all places she had to fall on his chest, she held unto his shoulder tightly and stared at his perfectly chiseled face, his eyes which was like a deep whole that held lots of information within them, his lips, something made her close her eyes expectantly. The dark, murderous look that was in his eyes immediately vanished replaced with a warm, gentle expression. The fragrant of roses mixed with vanilla filled his nose as he slowly leaned closer, the distance between their lips barely an inch, both of them were afraid to breath in fear of ruining the moment.

  She was waiting. Counting each second that passed. The kiss never came, she wanted to feel the sparks that erupted from her stomach. He knew what she wanted, he wanted it too and so much more but now she needs to be punished. 

  He kissed her forehead instead.

  'What!" Her eyes opened sharply, she glared at him "what was that for?"

  "A punishment" he smirked at her and sat at one end of the table

  "Was it you who changed me last night?". She sat down beside him and that made him happy, she was sincere about giving their relationship a try and didn't try to avoid him like a plague.

  Still smirking "yes".

  "So you saw...you saw everything" she stared at him with widened eyes. 'He was simply shameless, taking advantage of her who she was vulnerable'

  "Yes, what's the big deal, we signed a marriage contract so you're my wife now" He whispered to her ears "Feel free to strip me and even take advantage of me when I'm sleeping. All night you couldn't even keep your hands to yourself, you were simply all over me. Being a gentleman, I had to have more self control because jr me down there was very naughty"

  By the time he was done, her face was completely red with embarrassment. She couldn't help but believe what he said. Looking at her plate of food as if really interested in discovering the ingredients used to make it."uhm..I'm so sorry"

  "It's nothing to apologise for, someday you'll take good care of me" he winked at her.

  She wanted to change the topic desperately "so.....uhm..wh.. when can I go back home?"

  Damon smiled, he could easily read her and he saw how desperately she wanted to change the conversation. His stubborn wife really does have a delicate side

  "I would have agreed that you live here with me but your career is the priority now. Being an upcoming actress, you'll be closely followed and monitored by everyone. Since we aren't making our marriage official yet, meetings with a man in private can mess with your reputation"

  "So that means we can never meet again? And I won't be able to spend more time with you" she intentionally gave him teary eyes showing how displeased she was feeling but she was secretly happy because he might become a distraction for her

 Damon believed her teary eyes and was excited that she was growing attached to him but unknown to him, that was not the case "Don't worry about that, I already made plans to deal with such if we're ever caught on camera. I'll assign some bodyguards to protect you at all times, curtsey of the well thoughtful Weston Entertainment Company. We'll be able to meet as much as you want. I already duplicated the house keys, you'll be getting a new car soon and before I forget, Mrs Sylvia Diez would be your Manager".

  That was it!. 

  She choked on her food and felt his hand patting her back gently "calm down, princess".

  Anyone would have a worst reaction than her if they ever found out that Mrs Sylvia Diez would be their manager. According to her memories, Everyone knew Sylvia Diez, the best manager who was able to raise the only actress she took under her wings to international levels but unfortunately after the actress got pregnant and decided to get married she was heartbroken. She publicly denounced any actress that begged her and refused to manage any actress. How Damon was able to convince her to work with her(Ryella) was something strange.

  "How'd-how did you convince her?".

  "Who, Sylvia? She owed me a favor and she had no other choice but to come out of her forced retirement, you have a meeting set up with her in four hours time and after that a press conference so that we can make it know to the whole world the company you're signing with. Mrs Carol the book owner would also be at the conference".

  Tears pooled in her eyes.

  "Babe, what's wrong, why are you crying?" He was confused.

  "You are really caring, you thought about everything and sorted it out while I was still asleep. You're the best" she flashed a million dollar smile at him after wiping her tears.

  "You're my wife now, you don't need to work hard, you need to be treated like a queen because I can work hard for the both of us" he held one of her hand and she squeezed it affectionately.

  "It's alright, I'm only doing this for fun".

  "That's right, once you're done with your revenge, we can have the best society wedding you can ever dream of".

  "I don't want a society wedding, I want something small, unique". She murmured.

  "Then you'll have to convince my mum about that. I haven't told her about you yet but I'm sure she had a million ideas set up already" he smiled at her placatingly.

  "What's your mom like, I hope she won't object...."

  He interrupted "she'll love you, I promise. Now you have to eat up and get ready, we have a long day ahead of us
