Damien immediately put his arms round me for protection. We all watched as a tall man in police uniform entered the house. My mom looked confused and my dad......well the same thing. Only relaxed."Officer. How may I help you?" My dad asked."We received a search warrant to check your house for files" the man lifted his ID card indicating his an official officer. My dad nodded without any complaint. The man called his men and soon, they were moving around the house."What is going on?" Mom asked dad. He just shrugged. I think this is the time to address the elephant that's been in the room."Dad. Trails of theft was found with you. " I said mildly not to cause a scene and draw the officers to us. Mom gasped and dad looked confused."What?" He almost roared but I clinged to his shirt begging him to tell me that it's not true."Recently, someone has been stealing shares from my company. It was traced to your account" Damien said. Dad shook his head. Mom was crying."And you believe I'll
Damien sent the driver to pick me up from my parents earlier today. Just three nights away from home and I already miss this place. I missed Damien. It was a while before I went to bed yesterday. I'd tossed and turned and reached out for him but he wasn't there.Immediately, I stepped into the house, I was greeted with silence. I dropped my bag on the cream sofa and made my way to the kitchen. Mrs Rose came up behind me."Welcome home Mrs Forrest""Hi...Rose" I smiled as she collected my bag and started walking upstairs."Is my husband home?" I asked following right behind her."Yes ma'am. He came home early today. He's in his work room" She said before departing to keep my bag. I continued with the spiral stairs until I came to the door of Damien's work room. It looks like a library but it's not the house library. I opened the door peeping inside.Damien was sitting down
The timer I set for the steak to get cooked went off and I quickly went to get it. It was a bit burnt but that's what made it a steak I guess. I made a mental note to call Chloe after now. I've missed her but she's not yet back from Paris. Damien entered the kitchen the exact time I place two steaks on his plate. His eyes holds that unfamiliar glint and I know he's confused."Where's Rose?" He asked."I gave her the night off" I say and set more steaks on a free plate. I know Damien never liked the idea of me being in the kitchen. He fears I'll hurt myself or something but this is me. I love to cook."You know I.....""Stop! Dinner's already ready" I sigh. I won't hear the end of it with him telling me off about the kitchen again. He takes a seat by t
I finished my last meeting with the Co and pets store. Retiring into my seat, I shut my eyes and let sleep overtake me.My phone rang and I reached to pick it. Damien's name flash on the screen and I swipe to pick."Hey baby" his voice boomed through the speaker. I grinned like a crazy school girl on prom."Hey babe" I say right back and he chuckled."Look out your window"I got up from my seat and looked out my glass window and below to find Damien waving up at me."You have about five seconds to get your fine ass here or I'll come up to get you" he playfully threatened. I pushed my phone into my purse and arranged my desk before heading for the elevator."Leaving?" Tan asked from her wooden cabin."Yeah. Till tomorrow" the elevator pinged and I stepped in. I tapped my hands against my lap impatiently. My mind raced at the possibilities o
I stretched my hand forward to grab the fruit punch from the tray set in front of me. The plane attendant smiled at me."Should I get you anything else?" She asked politely. It wasn't her fault she was here attending to me every second. We're in Damiens private jet which means we're the only occupants. So we get all the attention but right now, Damien was on important business call. I wish he'd just put his phone away for a minute."Can I get a spumoni?" I asked the blonde. Damiens words of give her everything she wants seem to bang in her head as she nodded immediately."Anything else?""That'll be all thank you. .." I read her name on the tag attached to her shirt."....Judy"She smiled with a nod and walked away. I sipped on the fruit punch Damien insisted I drink.I still couldn't believe it. We're on our way to the Phillipines for our honeymoon. So
I watched as Damien ordered a guy around to get our luggage into the Hotel. He looked so demanding, unlike the Damien I know that's always so playful around me...and so loving. This one was bossy. I guess this is how he is with his workers. He turned to me and smiled.He leaned over wrapping his arms around my waist, turned us toward the hotel. Palm Breeze Villa looks even finer than in the magazines I read just before we landed in the Philippines. I finally persuaded Damien to tell me where we were staying at.“It's beautiful” I cooed resting my head on his shoulder.Damien chuckled. “I know. Come on” he grabbed my hand gently leading us to our Suite. I guess everything was already arranged, and we didn't need to stand by the counter.
The lady in the sunny glasses smiled at I and Damien again. Her rhinestone earring made a little noise when she turned and pointed to a little tiki bar just ahead of us."The Island is a fun way of exploring life itself. Has wonderdul things in it too" she checked her phone for the fifth time. This tour was becoming boring.I told Damien I would've rather stayed back at our Suite eating lots of Lobsters than having to listen to one more tour from this woman.Damien squeezed my hands gently telling me to hang on. I don't even see the need for all these. The truck came to a stop and the lady hopped down. Damien helped me down by carrying me in his arms. I smiled sending him a kiss to his jaw."You both are lovely couples" she said. I smiled at her, a non-easy smile. I wish I'd remembered her name but it kept slipping off my mind. It's not important anyway. The woman is getting on my nerves. Has been for hour
I didn't take my eyes off Damien because I was waiting for an answer. He shrugged and glared at Bethany."What are you doing here?""Isn't it obvious? It's a beach you bum...here for a little break" she grinned taking a seat next to Damien. My nails clawed at the wooden table."Break huh? Is Alberto here with you?" Damien asked. Why is he even interested in that? I frowned looking away. My mood was already ruined. And here I thought I got away from everything in Miami but here sits the devil staring and throwing sharp glares at me.Her eyes darted to my stomach."Wow....You look so round" she smiled. "Congratulations you two" she said and then stroke Damiens arms."Dammy, order up for me" she grinned. Damien handed her the menu and I was stuck between leaving here and snapping at Damien to stop being nice to her."Crab sounds good' she said tapping her pai
•••"Hold on to me tight" A raspy voice said behind my ear, and my heart beats fast, my head spinning and some ten thousand butterflies creating a havoc in my belly as I wrapped my arms around him tighter, my skin tingling with anticipation."Fuck, Damien!" I shouted out as he jumped he jumped into the clear blue water, with me latched unto his back for dear life. We both were engulfed by the water, separating as soon as we hit the surface, going under the clear blue ocean.I swam back up, moving my hands to push myself upward and closer to him. one of the perks of being rich and a billionaire with loads of money, is that you can find yourself in an isolated island somewhere in Greece just so you can be on a vacation with your family. And when I say family, I mean family. There's no Elle or Joseph around, even.Just me, Damien
I hold Jay's hand in mine for all the times she was being checked by the doctor. I'm never leaving her side. Her eyes are a bit dull and little as she's still trying to adapt to the brightness of the room and her environment. She's been out for close to four months."How may fingers do you see?" The doctor waves his hand in front of her."Five" she shrugs."Good" Dr Jenkins said before pointing to me. "who's this man?" He asks and my heart beat escalate. Of course she called my name but what if she doesn't know who I am to her."My husband" came her sudden reply and my eyes twinkle. Judy is holding on to Alex, her eyes observing everything that's going on. "Wait... where's..." She touched her flat tummy. "My babies"Here comes the hard part. "You were out for three months and two weeks, Mrs Forrest. We performed a C-S and your baby is perfectly fine" Dr Jenkins said. Judy brings Alex to
Two Months LaterI tuck Alex's hand into his little gloves before putting his beanie on. He's two months old today and I'm taking him to see Jay. She's still not up and I'm still waiting, I'll will keep waiting.I would've stayed at the hospital with Jay throughout the months but I had to be with Alex. Standing in the C-S room that day, my heart couldn't contain the joy I felt when I held Alex in my arms. He was my little miracle, I and Jay's miracle. A little bundle of joy. The tiny thing easily crept into my heart, stealing it. Somehow, he had more of Jay's features on him and it had me contented for the time being.Mrs Roberto walks into the room with a smile on her face. I let her take Alex in her hands, letting her rock him about. She looked proud and happy each time she saw her grandchild and I know how much she wished Jay was here to witness all of this.The room door opens and Mr R
Walking into the police station, my hands clenched and a little smirk of confidence on my face. I don't even have to ask where Bethany is detained because I can hear her loud screams to be released."Get me out of here now or you will pay for this!.... Do you know who I am?"I finally catch a glimpse of her and she doesn't have that glittery look anymore. Her eyes are black from her makeup and her hair is ruffled up."Damien!" She squeaks when she sees me. I turn to Joseph who is by my side. "Call Elle and tell her to go be with Jay in the hospital, I've got a meeting here" I tell him and he nods before walking off a good distance.Bethany has her hands clenching the iron bars."I'm so glad you came for me Damien! This animals had me locked up in here. Please, call Alberto and tell him where I am..." I listen to her rant on and on until I'm done hearing her annoying ch
I open my eyes at the first sun ray that cast on my face. My hands come up to cover my face and I struggle to get up. My whole body is tired as well as my mind. I've spent two weeks in the hospital straight, not agreeing to leave Jay's side. Last night, Elle persuaded me to go home because she'll stay. She said I need to get my shit together.She's right. I look like hell. Last week, we moved Jay back to Miami in my private jet. Her parents have been saying here at the house with me. Joseph come from time to time but I think it's only because he wants to see Elle. I hate that shit that is going on.Most of all, I'm glad Rose is still here through all these. Honestly, I don't know what I'd do without her. My arms cross over my bare chest as I seat up, relaxing my back against the headboard. I need a relief. There was an aspirin by the corner so I took it quickly.The other side of the
~Playlist~To build a home(slowed)- seltmemsetDamien POVI rush to pick Jay up from the floor. She keeps clutching her tummy and it's scaring me like shit. Panic shoots through me when I see blood on her thigh."Joseph call an ambulance now!" I yell and he nods before walking out to make the phone call.Riley comes into the bathroom and grab Bethany before she could sprint for the door. My anger is boiling as I stare at her and she has a pitiful look on her face. Her eyes are dull and scared. She no longer hers that victory winning smile on her face."You bitch!" I growl and her eyes lower. "I swear if anything happens to her or my babies, I will end you""You ende
Bethany seems to be looking over me in her heels and I raise my head up to measure her at least. She has this really daunting look on her face.“You don't even know what's good for him or what he wants?” She sighs and then her eyes trail down to my tummy. “I'm even sure he doesn't want that child you're carrying”I blink thrice. “You don't know anything. We're happy we're having a baby, too bad that may never happen to you, with all the plastics on you” I snort, and she narrow her eyes at me. I can tell she's angry and it's the best thing I've ever seen. I need to push her to say something. Anything.“Damien never wanted a child.” She states and I'm at alarm ready to hear whatever nonsense she's about to spill. “And yes... I was pregnant once, Jay. And with Damien's child” She smirks at the last part and I feel my mouth go dry, my heart is beating. Damien has a child with Beth? What's going on and why am I just hearing this. Bethany
I'm up in a second, when I feel hot breath next to my face. It wasn't the ray of sun, like other mornings, but the fact that Damien was kissing my neck softly. I spring to my side, careful not to lie on my tummy. My hands cup his scruffy jaw which he so dearly need to shave, but I'm too much of a bitch to tell him because it makes him look sinfully hot."Good morning" I smile. He responded with a guttural sound. His lips not leaving my neck. He sucked and bit at he sensitive flesh there. My hands run through his hair.He kisses me softly moving his lips against mine like he has all the time in the world. When he licks my bottom lip with his tongue, I don't let him in at first, wanting to tease him. But Damien becomes impatient, groaning into my mouth and squeezing my hip so I give him what he ask for and a moan escape my lips, at the first touch as his tongue touches mine.I wrap my hand round his neck and reposition, so I don't hav
Little confettis spring to the air and land to the floor, the moment I open the door. Chloe was holding a balloon, a cherry smile on her face, and it's just six pm in the evening. I grab her arm pulling her into the house. I don't see Charles and Ray anywhere."What are you doing here so early?" I ask her."You told us we could come over for the party""Yeah I did. Tomorrow" I look behind her. "We're the rest?""Charles is trying to park the car. This place is full of trees and barely a free plot" Chloe said. She drops her bag on the couch, taking a seat. Her eyes set on my large tummy. "When are you due?""A week or so. But the doctor said it could happen anytime now" I shrug. I just admit that the thought of going into labour is a bit scary. I'm going to be a mom and Damien? he's going to be a dad."So you're going to give birth here?" She asks. Plates clanking in the
