The Elizabeth we were all seeing seemed like she had just returned from a vacation. Everything from her hair to her feet were all fine, she even wore a beautiful flower dress and kept her hair in a bun, she wore no makeup but her face looked like she did, her perfume held the strongest scent in the room.
When she reached out to hug Damon, he allowed her. His body melted in her warm embrace and he held her tightly like he didn't want to let her go.
Looking at them was painful, they looked like the.... perfect couple.
"Get your filthy hands off my son! Who are you?" Beatriz came in between them and broke the spell Damon had fallen into. "Who are you?!" She asked again this time she stood face to face with Elizabeth.
Beatriz veins we're already popping out of her neck as she shouted at the top of her voice, the question she asked might have sounded stupid because it was obviously Elizabeth but it was better to ask because I for one would like to know how som
The door to my room creaked open before it was shut. I slightly open my eyes to see who had entered, I knew it was Damon since he was the only one that had a key to my room, normally I wouldn't have locked the door but because I didn't want anyone to come in at night and steal little Liliana away from me..... With the idea of a potential murderer amongst us we just can't be too sure.There was a slight dip in my bed caused by Damon's weight, I felt as he wiggled closer and cuddled me. "Are you asleep?" He asked and I adjusted a bit so I could be able to speak."I was, but you woke me up" I said in hushed tone, not like anyone was in the room to hear except from the baby who can't speak yet.... If babies could talk."Go back to sleep then, don't mind me" he covered my eyes and kissed my lips.How can I not mind him when he is doing touchy touchy on me. I opened my eyes again, "Aren't you going to sleep?" He asked before kissing my lips to avoid me fr
Fear? That is what I felt, how I am feeling and will continue to feel. There were several reasons for me to be scared, but only three feared me the most; the first was loosing my mom, the second was loosing Damon and last was giving up little Liliana to her real mother. All of which one was to be materialised today.I wished for it not to be true but the preparation for the wedding was in plain sight, tears fell from my eyes as I stared at Damon's beautiful face, never once did I think I was soon to let go of it.I had been relaxed with my feelings for him so much that I didn't know it was going to hurt this much. Thoughts were going through my head on her to disrupt the wedding, malicious thoughts!Like a zombie or a woman who has just been told a dreadful ever, I entered into my room to cry my eyes out, Damon had tried to console me but I refused to let him in.I would be damned to believe a thing or two about how I was feelings.Here I am
The moment he left the room I took his words and got dressed up, opened the door to see Jeanette walking past.... Wrong timing. There was no need for me to step back in since she had already seen me so I took a bold step forward.Jeanette folded her hands as she stood in a stance about to challenge me for being in Damon's room, before she had uttered anything I already thought of an excuse, just wasn't sure it would be enough to sound believable in her ears."What were you doing in there? Don't tell me you were helping Damon polish his tool before their wedding night" Jeanette said shamelessly eying the foot I still had in Damon's room.What the hell? I felt like puking in her face right now. Polish his what! I knew this bitch was trouble the first day I laid my eyes on her. How dare she make such a provocative statement about me even if it was close to the truth."Don't lie cause I am going to call Alicia to come see this, I can't have anyone ruin
"Move aside" Elizabeth said trying to push away Alicia who stood at the entrance. Alicia stood there acting like no one was speaking to her as she went on with her call regardless, explaining things to the caller at the other end.She was obviously pushing Elizabeth's buttons and Elizabeth on her own part had been calm since her return, she didn't try to force her way into the family like she was right fully supposed to. She had firmly opposed to the fact that she had came back with an ulterior motive by the way she had taken things lightly.I admire her but not so much, she was my rival after all and I know between us three who were involved with both Xander and Damon, Elizabeth had the upper hand cause this two step brothers had once fought over her only that the fight was silent between them, Damon was the one who backed out despite loving her since childhood.Xander and I watched as the drama unfolded from above. Initially something else had happened before
The guests soon start arriving, though I was waiting at Alicia's as per the maid of honor I could still hear them chattering and rich people laughter---- it sounded so sophisticated like their bank balance. Alicia squealed a lot as she fit into her wedding gown, she acted like her dream was finally coming true, all her hard work was about to pay off.She wore the necklace Damon had given her in place of the original daughter-in-law pass down necklace. Her eyes beamed with joy as she admire herself in the mirror, "I am beautiful, aren't I?" She asked checking out her backside if her butt was showing off on the gown.I was about to reply when she placed her index finger on my lips. "Shhh... I want Damon to be the first to tell me how beautiful I am" she says, taking away her index finger Alicia sighed at the time on the clock, "When are they going to call me in? I really can't wait to marry him""Very soon I suppose" I said dowdily, diminishing every fake happines
I wasn't sure how to describe how the funeral went, I mean how would you feel if someone you loved so much is been buried considering the fact that you weren't the last person she saw before she took her last breathe, there were no parting words no nothing.I am heart broken, battered, and yet for some reason I still had mixed feelings that I know she would return. For me it was like those days when she would black out and won't speak to anyone for sometime, I would miss her like I am feeling now and then she returns to calling me by her sister's name.... Monica.That reminds me, aunt Monica amongst others came for the funeral service as well. She was different from what mummy had actually described her as. I pictured her to be someone like me who is free spirited since mum normally call me by her name but when I looked at her at the cemetery.I felt the reason why she never responded my messages each time I tried to contact her for the sake of mum was bec
Just a step into the house and I could feel my tummy rumbling, it felt like I was about to puke all over the place--- eating too much can do that to a person.*Grumble* the sound made from my tummy like my whole system flushed out and was ready for excretion, sweats formed on my forehead as the tummy grumbled several times, I thought how embarrassing it will be if Damon saw me like this but cared less when it got so serious.I ran into the house like a mad woman searching desperately for the toilet. There were so many doors I needed to happen before I could find the glorious light shone on the toilet seat."Damon.... Where is the toilet?" I asked after my search bore no fruit."It's over there" he pointed at the toilet far hidden in the east, I ran over there and use my might to push open the door before anything bad could happen after the last grumble.Smelling the horrible scent from my excretion I definitely had every right to feel embarra
The idea of visiting Damon's vineyard really intrigued me that I hurried off to the bathroom to take my bath and change into one of the dresses Damon bought while he went out to get some supplies for the house.I wore the earrings I had on yesterday and went out to see Damon waiting at the car, as usual he was talking to someone on the phone that he didn't see me walking towards him after I had locked the door of the house. Walking towards him, Damon stared me up before he cut the call."Come here" he slide his hands around my waist while pulling me to him and kissed me on the lips, "As much as I want you to wear that dress all day, you can't""And why is that? Don't I look good in it?" I asked."Ofcourse you do, It's just that we are going over there to work, there has been a shortage of workers recently because of the increase in payment in other vineyards so they all left" he said and I frowned, how about he just increase the wages like the other
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
