Danielle hit the ball so hard, we couldn't find where it flew to. It's a warm Wednesday and we're both playing golf and bonding over food and makeup.
"Do you think it ran into the trees?" Elle asked. She bent down and picked another golf ball.
"Guess so"
I placed my hand to shield my eyes from the sun. Elle had told me to take a cap with him but I'd blantanly refused. I thought it'd be weird wearing a summer dress, tennis shoes and a cap. Oh and let me not fail to mention that I'm pregnant. Now I see she had a point.
"Do you hear that?" I asked Elle.
There was a humming sound coming toward us. Like a truck but it didn't have that rugged sound. Elle dropped her ball down next to a hole and gave it a tiny tud. The ball rolled slowly along the well trimmed grass until it entered into the hole.
I clapped my hands as Elle jumped up and down. That's her first win today.
The sun was already going down and I've given Damien many kisses than I can count. We didn't only golf but barbecued. Rose came over and helped us with steaks. We found a shady spot with a wooden table and trunks like stools round the table. It looked man-made though but it was pretty."Thanks for the steaks, Rose"Rose smiled at me and nodded before going back to the grill. Everyone was much too hungry after the games to even talk. Chloe of all people was stuffing her face with potatoes and steak at the same time."We should do this every weekday Dammy" Elle said. I cringed at the name she called him because once upon a time, Bethany had called him that and it annoyed the hell out of me. Still annoys me."Are you planing to stay here much longer?" Damien frowned and I hit his leg under the table. He stared at me and I mouthed be nice. He rolled his eyes at me and dug his fork into his steak.
Damien POV"Well then since you have no reason for her to leave, she's going to stay" Jay said and she was walking toward the door. This discussion is not over. She doesn't even have a clue what Elle did. She just met her and she's already stuck to her like glue. I knew this was a bad idea even allowing Elle stay a second close to Jay."I have a reason and she's leaving" I said before she could walk out on me."Well then tell me what it is. What's your problem?" She asked and I suddenly felt anger. I have a problem? The fuck she just didn't say that to me."I don't have a problem and if you keep talking back at me like that, we're going to have a problem. So stop acting like a nosey bitch and mind your goddamn business, goddamit!" I yelled.I'm sure by now the veins in my neck were at full alert but nothing topped the pain, confusion and fear I saw on Jay's face.
Damien POV"Mrs Roberto I'm so sorry. We were talking and then she just fainted" I explained for the tenth time. Jay's mom tapped my shoulder gently. Immediately she got the call that Jay was hospitalised, she took the first flight from London right here. It's a shame Mr Roberto couldn't make it. He had business in Ireland."These things happen dear. It's marriage afterall. "She smiled up at me but I was just not happy with myself. I found myself pacing the room slowly and waiting for Jay to wake up. It's the second day and she's not even blinked."The things I said to her were so mean. I didn't mean them but...I just....I hate myself right now" I strolled to the edge of Jay's bed and gripped the iron.In some few seconds, Mrs Roberto was standing by my side. Her hands entangled with mine. Her palm cupped my cheek to face her."Just tell her your sorry when she wakes up. A
"Even though Damien and I had different moms, we loved the same woman. The woman who took care of me like I was her own child after I was abandoned by my own" Elle said with a smile. We were seating in the love seat away from everyone else.My mom, Damien, Chloe, Charles, Raymond and even Joseph, were in the other room watching movies and talking about fun stuffs. I and Elle could still see them from here and I smiled when Chloe pat Damien on the shoulder for something he said."Damien's mom sounds like a brave woman" I muttered to Elle with an unmistakable smile on my face."Yeah she was. Taking up her husband's stray daughter was a tough one but she did it. She was the only real mom I ever knew and had""I'm sure she loved you as much as
I've had enough Paparazi for a day in my life. This morning when I arrived at my pet store, strictly guarded by a man Damien assigned. I think his name is Jim. There were a few cars parked outside my building. I had thought we had many buyers today only to be faced with a blinding flashing camera in my face. The paps swarmed me like bees and luckily for me, Jim came to my rescue."What are they on about anyway? " Tanya asked me. She was rocking her baby in her arms. She put to bed a while ago but I was too busy to even notice or know. She had sent me an email but I haven't gone through my emails in decades.Too engulfed in my own problems to care about other people's problems."Someone leaked a news out to the blog" Elle muttered. I was happy they were around me. After the assault of the Paps in front of my building, I was taken home. Tan followed me."What?" I asked, staring at Elle. She was going through her
Engulfed in Damien's arms, I felt at ease. I felt peaceful with myself. I thought I'd arrive at his company to see him being dragged out of his office in cuffs. Although I know something like that would never happen with the kind of connection Damien has, but when I left the house, I just couldn't stop panicking."Why are you here? Are you alright, do you need to go to the hospital?" Damien asked."I saw the news"I raised my head from his shoulders so I could look him in the eyes. They were at ease and in control but deep down I know he's trying to hide his unsettled mind."You shouldn't have just sprinted up like that. What if you cramped. Did you drive?...Please tell me you didn't drive yourself. .." My palms connected with his cheeks softly, pulling his face to mine"I'm fine. And I brought Jimmy with me"He sighed in relief. The door to his
Stay away from society for the time being. That's what Damien's publicist said. Anyone who Damien is seen with might just enter the news. A few days ago, they covered up some headlines that Alberto was in on it. It was finally concluded, seeing the press knows that Alberto has been Damien's godfather. But the news didn't last long on the net because it was taken down. The same thing would have been easily done for Damien. But we all know who's behind this. Bethany. The more Damien tries to take the news off, informations of shit just keeps leaking out to the media.Rose arranged the last of my bags by my bedside." Anything else?"Since Damien's publicist said he should quit the outside word for now, he took it upon himself to have a good time while he's at it. A vacation to our Lake house just outside the sketch of Florida. I'm glad he can use this as an excuse to take a break from work now. He
Damien placed a bowl of caramel chocolate in front of me, his eyes widening with a smile when he saw just how captivated I was by it. "I thought you'll reject it, or worst, throw it away" He chuckled."Why would I do that?"He shrugged. "Dunno. Lately, you've been eating weird things and leaving all the good stuffs for me""That's because I'meight months pregnant. And whose fault is that?" I ask, feeling my body playing all kinds of weird jokes on me. Damien did not say a word as he returned to the cabinet, got out a fruit blender and set it on the counter."I'm going to make you a health smoothie right now" He says proudly."You can't cook. Don't make a mess in here." I said with a sly smile. His eyes twinkled with laughter."It's just blending. I'm definitely not lighting up the stove"The last time Damien made something was wh
•••"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
