Amber looked at Sophia in disbelief. "You don't expect me to believe what you said right now or do you?",Amber asked in a mocking tone. The two guys were also having their talks and music filled the hall. It seemed as though the party was still about to start but the hall was already full enough to make the event start immediately. "You know Amber friend Sophia?",Damien asked his friend, shock was written all over his face. "Yes I do,she works for me",Jake said and almost chuckled because of the look Amber had given to Sophia. His gaze made Damien look also at the duo.He smiled at Amber. There really was something about this lady and he just couldn't put his hand on it. Jake looked at him, laughed and said "stop drooling bro". Damien didn't even realize that he had been staring that much. Jakes laughter had even made the ladies look towards their direction making the two men give give them their most charmest smiles. "Oh my God",Amber whispered and she could not help
"Would you mind going to someplace quiet?, Damien asked as he drove out of the event hall. Amber gave a negative shake of her said, "I need to go meet my children".After saying that she facepalmed herself internally, she really needed to get used to saying 'the children' when she was around him. Amber started thinking of how long she would continue this pretense of being a babysitter and not an actual mother. "I thought you called their mum few hours ago, don't you think you should like give them privacy with their mum since she's like the busy type", Damien adviced. Amber tried her best to refrain herself from saying 'but, I am their mum'. Damien on the other hand was thinking she was trying to understand what he was suggesting. Infact when she then said,"Okay fine, let's go what do place do you have in mind?". He decided that she finally understood what he was saying and accepted his suggestion. Amber on the other hand decided to go with the flow because she didn't
Amber looked at him trying to understand what he meant with a confused face and when she realized she mouthed an 'oh'. "I should be taking you home now are you all done?", Damien asked to be sure if she was done taking her smoothie. Amber sipped the remaining smoothie and was like,"All done now". They stood up and left the restaurant with Amber carrying all the packaged take outs. Amber noticed that she couldn't remember Damien paying and was wondering why. When they had gotten to the car Damien opened the door for her and she entered then he went to sit in the driver side. She couldn't hold it in anymore so decided to ask,"I can't remember seeing you paying for our meal or did you?" "No I didn't, I got some free coupons as a regular customer", Damien said freely as he drove the car out of the parking lot into the road and the direction he was taking led to Amber house. "Free coupons? I mean that big restaurant also does that kind of thing?",
Damien went back to his penthouse after freshening up he laid n his with Amber on his mind.He couldn't even believe he had pecked her forehead instead. At that point in time he knew he had to kiss her but it was with so much self control he didn't snatch her lips. He started feeling hot and bothered again and that got him thinking. He had not even kisses her actually or really held her and his feeling restless again. He practically had to advice himself to stop thinking and went to get a cold bath this time and slept. Amber walked into the office and everywhere was buzzing with activity and infact she observed that everyone seemed to be talking and looking towards her direction. She held her head high and greeted whoever did greet her until she got to her office before she could even enter inside Brenna practically dragged her away f
Amber decided to arrange Damien's schedule and make some adjustments so she could print it out.It seemed as though Damien was talking to his mum but she knew in her guts it was about her. Her heart actually did a somersault when she heard Damien asked his mum something about having someone followed.'Was it her?' she asked herself. She didn't know she had become so lost in her thoughts until someone or something touched her and she flinched from the shock. "You seem lost in thought once again.Are you okay?", Damien asked looking at her worriedly. "I am fine sir", Amber said fast infact too fast and allowed her eyes to stay glued to her computer and her action actually made Damien raise a brow up but sensing she didn't want to talk about it he walked back to his seat. There was a knock on the door and Damien asked the person in. It was a staff from the strategy department. "Good morning sir,there seems to be a lot of press outside wanting to t
Damien was still in deep thoughts when a message came in. "The boss's PA have triplets for an unknown man and is trying to tie the boss down", Damien read the message and checked the person name. The number was a private number.'Now what is the meaning of this?',Damien thought to himself. It seemed as though someone was actually watching Amber. Damien started wondering where Amber had gone inside the company for over thirty minutes if not more because it had been thirty minutes since he got back into the office. He was just about to call her when someone knocked and came in. It was Jake and that got him grinning as he stood to hug his friend. "How are you man?", Jake asked. "Fine what about you? Seems the tabloid opted you this time",Damien said. "Nahh I just think they were more focus on
Amber had never prayed for the day to end until today.She really wanted to go home to think and hold her children even talked to Sophie also. She wasn't sure if Sophie had even come home last night because she had not seen or heard her voice in the house. When it was time to leave,Amber arranged her things quietly and was waiting for Damien to leave first. He got his things ready and stood up. "Let me drop you off", Damien said. "No,no there wouldn't be any need please",Amber said too quickly but she couldn't stop herself from not acting that way. She really needed to give him enough space. "Is everything alright Amber?", Damien asked suddenly worried again at her behavior just now. "Everything is perfect sir I just think you need rest so I don't want to disturb you", Amber explained trying her best to sound really persuasive. "I see", Damien said as a flash of hurt showed on his face,he quickly masked it and then walked out. He felt hurt he didn't even understand w
Damien paced up and down in his room. He was wondering why Amber had acted the way she did. It seemed as though all of a sudden she wanted to distance herself from him. 'Was it because of the press?', He thought or had seen that message too. He had sent hackers to try and find who sent him the message at all cost. Damien knew worrying wasn't going to solve anything and he almost took his phone to dial Amber's number but then decided against it.His phone rang and he checked the ID to see that it was one of his hackers. "Hello sir",the person said. "Any news?",Damien asked. "It seems as though, sir, you weren't the only one that got the message and the message seemed to be from a payphone very close to your office sir",the person explained. "I see",Damien said as his forehead became creased together."Yes sir,that would be all sir for now,if I get any other info I won't hesitate to let you know sir", The person said. "Alright then, thanks for your hard work",Damien t
The next stop was Blessed Orphanage. Xavier knew the children must have missed him,he missed them too. He didn't really understand why he had fallen in love with kids so much. Maybe it was because he ended up being the only child after his younger sister died at four. He became sad immediately he remembered and Amber who was also sitting at the back seat noticed when his countenance changed. Amber wondered what Xavier would be thinking that got him looking really sad.She wasn't really comfortable whenever he looked this way and decided to ask. "Is something wrong Xavier?", Amber asked softly as she touched his arm.When he looked at her Amber was shocked to see tears in his house. She didn't even realize what she was doing until she did it. Guess it was an impulse because she hugged him. "It's okay",She cooed softly. Xavier rested more in the embrace. His tears spilled
Xavier got to work really early and few minutes later Amber came in."Good morning sir",Amber said smiling sweetly at Xavier who couldn't help himself but smiled back.'`Good morning Amber,truat you had a goodnight rest?''Xavier said and asked."Yes sir,I did", Amber replied. Amber had seriously been wondering when she woke up this morning preparing her children for school how today was going to be like in the office with Xavier because of that dinner night.She ended up early in the office and that happened because Mrs Jones helped to take the children to school. She really was a lifesaver. "What's our schedule going to be like today sir?",Amber asked as she carried her notepad to jot down all he wanted to say. "Okay firstly we are going to your kids school -",He was about to continue when he got stopped by Amber's wide eyed que
"Mum!"Elena screamed as she swung higher up in the sky. They were all at a children's park. Amber felt the kids had been held up at home far too long and decided to let them have fun. She was smiling at them as they were playing and interacting so well with other children. She decided to get some ice cream for her children. While she was buying if from a nearby stand a tinted black car drove in and some men in black came down. Immediately Amber turned to go give her children the ice creams, she turned white when she saw that the men had entered the park and were moving around.She got so scared she didn't even realize that she had dropped the ice cream cones and was running down to her children. "Jaden!Jenna!Elena!,come here quick!"She was practically screaming and the children were even shocked and ran to their mum immediately wondering what was wrong. She hugged them very close immediately they got to choking them. She was indeed behaving like a mother hen prote
"How could you Charlotte?!",Mrs O'Neill was practically shouting her brains out. The video had gone viral by now and her parents had even gotten to know about it. Charlotte was almost in tears now.she had practically rushed back home so she could do something about the video or call one editor she knew and hacker only to meet her mum mad as hell. "Mum I just got mad because I saw that stupid girl with Xavier", Charlotte said practically sobbing now."Is that why you had to act inappropriately now of all times?"Mrs O'Neill asked, giving her daughter an absurd look. She didn't understand this girl most of the time. She acted like a child throwing tantrums and it got her wondering if she pampered her way too much and had gotten the parental guide all wrong. "Mum, I am sorry", Charlotte said and another part of her was just plotting out a possible revenge on Amber
Charlotte had been so excited about prom and was even more excited because of who her date was. It was no other person than Xavier, in fact,she thought she was going to be dateless because no one had dared to ask her out. She was really beautiful and being beautiful wasn't the reason why no one had asked her out,the boys were all just too scared of her. That's all.She really didn't know the reason why though but she believed it had been because of Xavier. Everyone knew they were best friends and their parents were really close so she believed she boys just assumed that maybe they were dating. Charlotte sighed, because she on the other hand never tried to correct them off that mindset because she had always had a crush on Xavier and had thought or should she say believed that Xavier also would have the same feelings also towards her. This was the very reason she got overly excited when Xavier had asked her out and he also had come to take her from her house to the prom. T
Xavier woke up feeling very happy and he knew that today was going to be a great day. He could already feel it. He had been in his parents house and he was happy that he hadn't been hearing anything about marriage or Charlotte from there lately. It was as though they are just trying their best to keep the end of their bargain. He sighed and told himself to let not to let such thoughts leave so they don't end up spoiling his good day. Xavier went downstairs and was surprised that everywhere was bustling with activities, it got him wondering what the occasion was for because no one had told him about any event happening in their house. He knew it had to be his mum's preparations ; he just had to look for her to get updated on what was happening. He started going around searching for her and when he was sure that she wasn't in the house he stepped outside to look for her. He saw her in the garden instructing people how to gather some roses into the vases laid out on
Charlotte was burning with so much rage and jealousy in fact the main reason she agreed to this outing is so as to remove Xavier especially Amber out of her head.What did the universe now had to do? Being the two people out of the same restaurant she was trying to find Solace."Aaargh!"Charlotte screamed as she threw a glass out of nowhere. Thank God no one had been passing the area because the glass shattered and it's pieces flew everywhere. Her friends gasped. They didn't know what to say infact it was best to leave Charlotte alone when she's in such foul mood. A cleaner came in almost immediately to clean the pieces of glasses everywhere and in few minutes there were some guards escorting her and friends out of Gemstone. Such attitude were not permitted no matter who you were. It was a strict policy and was followed strictly also in the establishment. "I will make her pay for this embarrassment", Charlotte said,her friend's shuddered they could literally feel the hate waves
Amber looked at him and for a while she just enjoyed the view he gave when laughing. Xavier was indeed a God creation.She thought to herself. They began to eat and they both started with rice,Coleslaw and Chicken. After that they both entered the large croaker that was part of the special menu. The juice was also used to wash the food down. There were some slices of different fruits in a bowl. Xavier started putting some fruits in his mouth and Amber followed suit. They were really enjoying themselves. When Amber checked the time and saw it was a few minutes to 9pm she was really surprised that both of them had almost cleaned the plates that were placed before them initially."We really ate everything",Amber said with a look of disbelief as she looked at the table that had been packed with food a few minutes ago. Xavier just continued sipping from his glass of wine quietly as he watched Amber. They both were filled. Amber felt she wouldn't be able to move. Although ther
Amber looked at her daughter in awe of her wisdom. She knew she had to give her children answers and had to also carefully choose her words. "Well, yes mummy is going out with Uncle Xavier and as for your question Jenna I am not so sure about that yet", She said hoping to convince them. "Hmmm, I would love it if uncle Xavier is our daddy", Elena said and Amber was shocked when she saw Jenna actually nodded in affirmation although if you hadn't really looked at her well, you would have missed the fact that she nodded in agreement to her sister's words. Amber looked at Jaden. He had been quiet all through the conversation,as though he was just observing and cooking things up in his head. "What do you have to say Jaden?"Amber asked, already tired of her son's silence. "Well I don't know, I think I do like Mr Xavier but I don't want anyone taking you away from us",Jaden said finally. Amber just looked at her children and tears filled up her eyes.She was indeed blessed
