Damon threw his eyes away from my left boob before I felt ashamed as how exposed it was. He walked into the shower with his business suit on despite knowing the fact that the lady in there was very much naked.
He stepped out again to get her a towel so she could cover herself with before he went back to his room to get his own bathrobe. The lady probably in her mid twenties sat on the bed in her room exchanging shy glances with me.
In no time Damon returned and led the lady out of the room. I took my bath and left the room as well.
Damon confirmed he was indeed taking me somewhere but the lady who was with us was also in the car as well, the more I looked at her, the more I found out who she was. She was the lady that was with Damon the other day, who was on a tight bun and a primitive glasses, she looked different with her hair loose.
He laid his hand on hers before he whispered something into her ears, she smiled and nodded before they both
Smack! Xander held his face with his hands. "All throughout last year I wondered why suddenly Damon who was to marry Alicia suddenly chose to marry that girl" Beatriz said, her eyes getting watered with her tears which she wiped away Immediately. "So Damon was covering for you all this time and what was the last thing about the child not being his, who else could it have been......" Beatriz paused to have a deep thinking. Her eye brows furrowed at her sudden conclusion. "It is yours?" She said as if she was a little doubtful. "I had no idea Beth was planning to have a wedding, yes we loved each other but back then I didn't know, I admit that I did get the invitation but I never read it and that was the day I left" Xander admitted stepping back to rub his cheeks further ignoring her last question. "And the child? Tell me it's Damon's" Beatriz gripped Xander's hands in exasperation, her finger nails piercing deep into his skin.
The whole house was on a different mood after that meeting, even Xander who had the intention of leaving was taken aback at the news of Damon's supposed wedding with Alicia.Xander might not be willing to say but I could tell he wasn't happy with the idea at all.I was packed and ready to leave for the doctors this morning but due to Damon's ignorance there came another confrontation between him and his mother.Damon was supposed to drive me to the hospital and wait until I was done with everything before he could leave for work....... That was pretty much everything, I just wonder why it is so hard for him to get. He rather chose not to go to work and stayed back with Rachel by his side.Beatriz banged on his door several times and when there was no response from him for about thirty minutes she went with the easiest route of hiring a driver for me.I have come to understand that the entire Prince family weren't keen on hiring chauffeurs which is
Damon returned back with an angry look on his face, he forced open and into Beatriz room. Though their conversation were enclose you could definitely hear faint shouts forcing out of the room.At first I tried to understand Damon's sudden anger and was astonished by the truth. Apparently Rachel had left him, it was only twelve hours ago she was all clingy on her.It was a good thing I had ears of an antenna which could catch farther conversations quicker, this actually came in handy today and with Alicia and her friend gone there was no stopping this argument."How dare you meddle in my life!? She is the only woman who has been there for more than you have ever been as a mother" Damon started off, his actions were unknown to me but I could tell he was flaring up."Damon! Never speak to me like that because of a silly woman who's only purpose is to steal from you, I am your mother and I have your best interest as well" Beatriz's was a little calm but
He pulled me unto the bed with his strength, wrapped his hand around me so tightly on the bed. "I will always love you Elizabeth" he said into my ear. I wanted to push him away but was worried.I laid there silently. I took in his masculine scent in his warm embrace, he whispered sweet nothings to me.... not me, Elizabeth.I would be lying if I said that the words he said didn't touch my soft heart, though they made no sense. He was drunk and would probably not remember a thing by tomorrow, so there was no need catching feelings.I laid there even after he had slept off and removed his hands from me.I couldn't control myself from touching his face, there was hurt beneath that strong personality, as much as I wanted to know the entire truth I was scared of the truth, Why?I slipped out of the bed and creeped out of the room. When I closed the door I turned to see Jeanette at the hall. My heart stopped like I had done something wrong."
Alicia laughed as she stared at my blank face. "Please don't get it wrong, you see Xander and I were having a conversation and he said he is in a relationship with someone in the house, since you two were being playful I assumed you two were like a thing and knowing him he isn't someone to be in a real relationship with anybody"I wondered why she was bothered about Xander current relationship status considering her fixed marriage with Damon."I am talking too much, aren't I?" She paused to ask."Not exactly" I lied, I was totally pissed at her inquisitiveness. "I am Priscilla...." I thought to introduce myself since she skipped that."Oh.... I am Alicia, I am sorry for asking you but are you?" She asked again.I thought it was just best to clear her on it, in as much as I wanted it to be true I was sure Xander didn't see me in that way. "I am the surrogate" I said which was a proper way to respond, that way she would get it that there can never be
"Hmm.... That's new, I should be doing a lot of good so I receive kisses from you maybe I might get it on the lips" he said and I playfully pushed him away making him jerk backwards."You wish" I stuck out my tongue and went to seat next to my mum.She was singing along to the cartoon character trying to fix a person's car in an act of goodwill, cartoon characters can be so unreal, no one is that good enough to go to people's house to fix things for free, children believe it so why should I complain.I spent some time with my mother before I joined Xander in the kitchen so we could prepare something for dinner, mum still refers me to her sister and I kinda feel a little down at times.Xander was going to attempt cooking my mother's favorite food but the ingredients weren't enough so we chose to work with what we had.... Pizza, he said he was great skill at buying it, which made me laugh.While he ordered the pizza, I prepared a smoothie. He h
What happened last night was a little reminder of the reason I am here, not to catch any romantic feeling for Xander and the focus on the baby growning gradually in my womb, which it is something I have neglected just so I could have fun with Xander.Deep down I knew catching feelings was inevitable especially now that I share a bond with him and I can't decide to ignore him since we see each other almost every day and even now that he is injured we are most definitely going to cross path.As always I joined the entire family for breakfast. Beatriz mission to bring her divided family together was already coming to place.For the first time since I started staying here Damon greeted me good morning, there was even an empty space beside his, so he did a gentlemanly thing of pulling it out for me.I thank him but had a weird feeling within me, he was acting some kind of way that I wasn't used to and neither were the others who looked shocked at his behavior.
"Good morning" I greeted everyone when I woke up from sleep. Beatriz was the first to return my greeting with a question asking me how was my night and I replied.There seemed to be a festivity that is going to happen today cause everyone had been busy doing one or two things. I saw Xander standing close to the butler and he was giving out orders to him, the massage thing Xander went for really helped him recover cause now he was walking perfectly."How was your night?" I heard someone behind me ask after Beatriz had left me to go organize the shipment they received this morning.I turned to see who it was with a cheerful smile on my face, "It was great thanks""And the baby?" Damon asked."He is fine or she is fine...." I was clueless on which gender to give the baby cause it wasn't yet time to do a gender reveal.Damon laughed. "Hopefully she is going to be girl""So you prefer a girl to a boy?" I asked using an incredulous to
Five years later Though the surgery on Damon was successful, he wasn't responding to treatment. I kept believing that each month my belly grew that he was one step from waking up. Sometimes I would cry on his bed that he does wake up but be honest what has crying ever done, crying didn't bring back my mum and so it was impossible to bring him back. At the ninth month I had camped in his room for several days to see if I monitored him he would wake up and then.... Lest I forget, during those months I was busy trying to get Damon out from his coma, I had actually attended Beatriz hearing. I visited her a day to that and she apologized for all that she had done and told me that she actually liked me for her son but with the deal she had with Alicia couldn't let her love me like she did before. She told me she would confess to everything and take the entire blame but that wasn't what I wanted her to do, so I had ask her to focus on telling the truth. 
She was running her own entire wedding in our faces and she was doing pretty good at it. When everyone were very much seated Alicia asked for all of her men to leave as there was no need for them being here since there was no place we could run to."Today is for us, Damon. I hope the ropes aren't too tight on you, you see I would love to release you but I can't trust that you would stay still till our wedding is over" she said softly. "Please carry on"The officiator began with a few passages from the Bible about marriage and how sacred it is.... I could see Alicia getting impatient with him and she gave him an order that he should speed things up."Hey.... Psst" Jeanette called for my attention from the order row. "Aren't you going to do something to stop the wedding? I mean if it was my man getting married to someone else I know that I won't seat still and let her snatch him away from..... Fine I get that we aren't on good terms and believe it I do
Priscilla POVSeeing Beatriz leave in that manner had spiked the room for gossip as silent whispers from the workers could be heard. I slowly slipped out of the living room after Alicia had gone somewhere probably to check on Beatriz, those two really care for each other and Xander had left to search for a good lawyer for his mother.I heard silent sobs coming out of Elizabeth's room as she packed all of her things into her luggage bag. I knew she was heartbroken and had felt bad for all that she had done, but the things she did to Damon was pretty much despicable and I would side with Damon anytime any day if compared.I spent an hour in my room trying to process all that had happened. Would Damon had actually gotten his mother arrested for my sake? If so, how did he know she was the culprit? And if that were to be the case, why wasn't Alicia arrested as well? She is the one who spearheaded the entire mission and now she is walking free like nothing has happened.
Alicia POVThe heel on my stilettos made a sound each step I took on this cold tiled ground. I held my breathe from taking in the stench of all these criminals that were being thrown into jail for some particular period of time.I went straight to the officer who had arrested Beatriz an hour ago or two.... Somewhere there about, was to busy laughing to had even realize the time she was arrested."I'm here to see Mrs Beatriz" I said, flashing those teeth that I had just got whitened for this particular reason.... Smiling actually makes you younger."Mrs Beatriz?" He said lifting a questioning brow, "are you here in place of her family cause I just spoke with Damon and he said none of his family members will be bailing her out, they have even made that clear to the judge""Oh.... I am not here for that at all, infact I am only concerned as to how she is coping, I don't want to go against Damon's wishes" I said as my smile grew wider, I just can't belie
Alicia POVTwo years agoI wept profusely as I got the message of the cancellation of my wedding to Damon. Our wedding was the next day and everybody had already anticipated for this day to come for me, they all knew how much I loved Damon.Though I had no single clue as to what was the cause of the call off I still had expected Damon to had called rather than sending me a text message. The thought of having to send out a message to my invitees about Damon calling off the wedding had me shed tears even more.Despite of all that I was feeling inside I can never hate Damon rather my love for him grew. I knew he had his eyes on someone else that he couldn't reach but still that didn't stop me. I loved him ever since our university days where we both studied a different course but still cross each other's part daily.Our first meeting had brought about "love at first sight" for me. It was like an over used drama scene when a girl is been pushed over by a
I knew it was impossible that Damon gave what was mine to another woman whose job is to crave for his attention and does all she can to get it. But it did make me feel uncomfortable as my eyes didn't leave her hand, I was focused on it so much that I had forgotten what was going on.To be honest I felt betrayed, which is why I calmed myself with a believe that there was a coincidence she had the ring on her finger, she probably would've bought the ring at the same store Damon got his. I should be calm, don't think Priscilla, please don't.Damon turned to Link to get Elizabeth's parents and that Liliana be given to her nanny to watch over for now."Why are you bringing my parent into our problem, this should be settled by the both of us and not them" Elizabeth begged as Damon was adamant on bringing them in despite her plead, "Stop Brett now, please.... Xander! Bloody do something cause your name is on it""What did you say? Whose name is on it? I thought
My heart sank as I dread the day I refused his proposal, my response was going to be yes and then we get married and live happily ever after---- that's the plan. I sobbed harder, resting my back on the wall only to find Jeanette laughing at me. "You must really love Damon.... well he isn't dead but he is back and had requested the presence of everyone"I glared at her as the urge to slap her gripped me, too bad I wasn't the one who got the chance to..... Of all the people in this mansion to play this joke and she chose Damon.Jeanette had called Alicia as she was walking by to tell her the joke she just pulled on me, in no second Alicia's hand met Jeanette's skin. "Never joke on Damon's life like that! If you want to make a silly joke use yourself or anybody but never in your gold digging life utter Damon's name close to the word death" hearing her speak, I had to admit that this was the first time we both share the same thoughts.Alicia looked at me, she saw ho
I stood in awe of the drama Alicia was pulling off quite well. The sympathy from the maids and other solicited spectators, who had cameras rolling, taking in every action Alicia portrayed. I had to admit that her acting was superb, and believe it or not it was Oscar worthy.She threw her hair to the side as she wiped her tears, taking Jeanette hands before adding, "This is my trustworthy friend who has stood with me all through this trying time" hugging Jeanette she went further to add, "Thank you for being there for me"Wasn't it today that I heard Beatriz and her discussing her return? Then how the hell is she back this soon? I really don't like this one bit."Welcome back dear" Beatriz came out to hug her and kissed her forehead. "Regardless of the situation, you will forever be the daughter of this family and for that we the entire Prince family shall host a special homecoming event for you in three days time, first let get you settled" she ordered one of th
The diary Elizabeth wrote was opened wide in front of the police officer I ws directed to deliver my case. I watched as he scanned through the pages without having to read it's content. When he got to the part where the handwriting went amiss, he looked up at me to question me about it."Did you forge this to incriminate a person?" He gave me stern look, aggressively pushed the diary to my side and stopped any bit of explanation from my mouth. "Please leave, we don't have time for this" he said before throwing his eyes to the screen of his computer."I have another proof...." I tried saying, he paid no heed to my contention as he got up from his seat and left me in my baffling position.I felt a little disgusted at his behaviour but I had no time to dwell on a corrupt person who refuse to see the fact that was in front of his. I grabbed the diary and left the table.As i was focused on unzipping my bag so that I could put the book back in, I bumped
