KATHERINEKatherine could not seem to get herself, to stop thinking about the information she had gotten about Damien and Madison.She had gone mad with rage, and with nothing else to do, she had decided to go out driving. She was still having the nasty headache but she didn't care. That would not stop her from doing what she wanted to. She had climbed into the car, driving away from the hotel and zooming off at high speed and with the rate at which she was driving around, she knew she could get in trouble with the cops but she didn't care. She could always pay them off anyways, and so she continued to drive around the city, with no destination in mind. The feeling of the wind in her hair sent her adrenaline shooting up, but it was exactly what she needed. She needed to feel alive and free. Besides the drive was also a means to cool her head from all the anger she was feeling, and even after some minutes it looked like it wasn’t going to work, Katherine continued to drive nonethe
KATHERINEIt was already getting dark, when Katherine drove back to her hotel. Just like earlier today, her mind still wasn't on the road, and she was busy thinking about her plan with Madison. After the meeting she had concluded with her men, she felt much better. Mostly because it felt like she was finally back on track, and also because she was finally taking that first huge step in her revenge on Madison.Damn, she was feeling so good about this. After her men had informed her of Damien's intention of getting back with Madison, she had been beyond furious, and that’s what literally spurred her to up her plans.She could not lose her relationship with Damien, and worse still not to that bitch.She couldn't help but marvel at Madison's audacity. Spending the night in his fucking hotel room? What the hell? Katherine scoffed, as she thought internally. It was obvious that the bitch was trying to play smart, but Katherine would make sure she outsmarted her. Yes! Madison was desperat
KATHERINEKatherine had enjoyed her night. Spending it with her hot partner, the one she had called was simply exhilarating. She had literally driven back to her hotel like a mad person after the call, and to her delight, just after she’d prepared for him, he had arrived. He had come just on time, and they’d spent the night drinking, smoking and having so much fun. Of all days, the time Katherine spent with him, was so blissful and one part of her wished that everyday would be like this.The drugs had been such a good addition, and they’d been so helpful that she asked him to supply more to her secretly.It took more of her efforts to convince him, of course, but it was something she could handle easily. After a few more rounds of sex and nibbles in the right places, he had immediately agreed, and Katherine had literally been on cloud nine.They’d sniffed the drugs he’d brought so many times, and when he complained about being hungry, she’d ordered room service for him. He had eat
Damien slowly made his way into the bar. There were a few people seated already but it wasn't too rowdy, and his eyes roaming through the room in search of Mason, he soon spotted him sitting in one of the barstools. As he approached the spot, Mason raised his head, facing Damien. His expression suddenly turned icy, and he didn't even bother to exchange pleasantries when Damien took a seat across him. Well, Damien had a sinking feeling that this was going to be a tiring meeting from the looks of things, as Mason was already glaring at him but he would try to take things easy and slow as best as he could. He was here for answers, and nothing more, nothing less.Not knowing what to do at first, Damien thought of lightening the atmosphere and beckoning to the bartender, he proceeded to ask Mason what he would like to drink, but he only got rolled eyes in response, as his guest seemingly waved him away. "I would die before I take a taste out of my enemy's pocket.” Mason spat bitterly
Damien slammed his hand on the table in anger as he glared at Mason furiously, his head whirling. “No way what you said is true. This…this can't be right!" He yelled, shaking his head while Mason continued to smile, clearly enjoying it all.“What do I stand to gain if I lie? Laughing my fucking ass off. Everything I just said is true.”“No way! I…”“Yes! I will tell you to your face over and over again that Madison broke up with you, so you couldn’t escape my father’s wrath. She did it in the blink of an eye, agreeing to what we told her to do just like some lovesick puppy. Dad threatened to make your life a living hell, and he was going to start by evicting your family from that crappy house you lived in. So you see, she was powerless sorry to say and being the good girl that she was she sacrificed your relationship. She just couldn't help seeing you suffer, and so she had no other choice but to save your ass instead.” He laughed. Damien could not believe his ears, his whole body h
Damien turned off the ignition of his car, unlocking the door and stepping out. Due to the long distance from Kettlesworth to London, he had been on the road for a while, and so when he’d arrived back it was a little late in the evening already.He had wanted to drive all the way to the real destination he had in mind and that was Madison's house. After his conversation with Mason, he couldn't not talk to her, and as the entire conversation with Mason continued to replay in his head, Damien’s heart pounded in his ears. He was weak to the core, regretful, and even a little angry. But this time his anger was directed to himself. He had to make everything right. He needed to see her… because now everything was clear and he had the full details of what happened now. Everything made sense now, and he was the one at fault. His mistakes were laid up in front of him, and he didn't want to postpone seeing her any further. But in as much as he wanted to see Madison so badly, first he ha
Madison stared at the vegetables in front of her, taking a look in her notes to glance at the recipe Gina had given her to cheer her up. She adored her friends recipes, and trying out new ones always put her in a good mood. After the other day at work, Gina had tried to cheer Madison up as she continued to be moody the whole day and at the close of work, she surprised Madison by presenting her with a new recipe to try out. It had worked effectively, because Madison immediately lit up and thanking her friend with a hug, she did promised to try it out and here she was. Smiling, she began to slice the vegetables into tiny pieces. She wanted to have a filling dinner because lunch had been tiny bites of a peanut butter sandwich that she hadn't been able to finish, and now she wanted to eat this evening to her full. When she was finished slicing the vegetables, she checked the broth which was still simmering on the stove and taking a little out of it with her soon, she tasted it and hu
Damien couldn’t believe what was happening. His lip was on Madison’s.He was kissing her wholeheartedly, the woman he’d loved and cherished for years. The woman he hadn’t forgotten, and the only person he yearned for like oxygen.His body pressed against hers, Madison breathed heavily as his lips continued to mould in with hers, their tongues swishing and dancing in unison with with each other.She let out a soft moan, her hands gripping his arms and just as she dug her fingers in his shoulders, only then did she open her eyes and… She immediately broke away from the kiss as though she only just realized what was happening, and her eyes widened in confusion. “What the hell?” She muttered, and the look she gave him was one that indicated that she’d just come back to her senses.She took a step back pushing him off her body, and she glared at him bitterly.Damien could also see that she was trying to control the tears that wanted to flow down her cheeks, and spitting out in disgust she
~ They were drawn to each other in ways they had never experienced. It wasn’t a coincidence but an undeniable fated connection. Because when their hearts first collided, they knew their soul was already infused together. ~SOME MONTHS LATER “No way…” Madison’s hand shook as she held the white pregnancy test stick in her hand, her jaw dropping as she stared at the result she was seeing.Her hands shook heavily, and as beads of sweat flowed down her face, she began to walk away from the toilet and back to the bedroom she and Damien shared.“This has got to be a dream.” Madison muttered to herself, a tear falling down her face as she gently placed the stick on the table and continued to stare at it, but she could not comprehend what she was seeing.Her eyes closed; she tried to tell herself that, indeed, her eyes were playing some trick on her, so she had to close and open them again, but when she did… The pregnancy stick was still there.Showing two positive lines, indicating that she
“Are we there yet?” Madison queried, her hands flailing about in the air as Damien kept leading her to somewhere unknown, his hands covering her eyes.“Almost…” He chuckled heavily, and she just groaned lightly.She hated this suspense, and whatever it was, he wanted to show her it had better be worth it cause she was running out of patience.Discarding the worrying thoughts out of her head, Madison instead decided to use her sense of hearing to grasp the knowledge of where she was at the moment since she could barely see a thing.The light sand, which buried her feet now and then as they walked, signified that they were either at the beach or some park. It was the beach! She could hear the soft billowing sounds of water waves from afar, and with the cool evening breeze blowing past, carrying with it the scent of murky dust, she knew her assumption was right. But which one in particular? She wondered, and again why had Damien brought her to the beach of all places?Her curiosity soo
"I'm confident that everything will be fine." As they drove to the hospital, Damien kept assuring Madison, his hands intertwined with hers. It was as if he could sense her anxiety and the nagging reminder that she might get some bad news today. She'd avoided going to the hospital for years after being treated there when her child died. Since then, she'd vowed never to set foot in a hospital building to check on herself, regardless of whether the situation was critical. But, with Damien's constant words of encouragement and kisses on her knuckles every minute, she was doing her best to remain calm. They'd agreed to go to the hospital to be safe after she'd expressed concerns about not being able to have children, among other things. Damien, on the other hand, had suggested going to the hospital so they could both get some checkups and talk to the doctor. His suggestion was good, and she could use it... "What's going through your mind, my love?" Damien's voice jolted Madison out
“Morning, princess.”Madison groaned, her eyes fluttering open as Damien’s loud greeting roused her from her slumber.“Go away.” She mumbled, eyes still closed as she turned sideways on the bed, intent on continuing her sleep, but he just wasn’t having it.“No, I won’t. Wake up, princess.” He said again, using his hands to nudge her shoulders again, and she let out a frustrated hiss.“I think I can handle you calling me ‘princess,’ and the word alone will make me wake up. You know I like it.” She mumbled, hands rubbing at her eyes as she tried to gain consciousness of her surroundingsDragging the blanket with her, Madison pushed herself into a sitting position against the headboard, yawning and stretching.She looked over to where he was standing, and her lips fell open when she saw he had a tray in hand.A tray of food? What was in there? She began to wonder, but she didn’t need to think much because, soon enough, the smell of freshly fried eggs, bacon, and pancakes filled the air,
The moment Damien placed his lips on hers, Madison knew she was lost already.Finally, after her fears and worries, she was doing this. She was going to enjoy tonight, and since it was their first time since whenever, she just had to bask in it.Closing her eyes and letting out a hum the second he placed her on the soft king-sized bed they shared, Madison’s left hand wandered to his hair, gripping the strands tightly. She moved forward to deepen the kiss, feeling his hands also moving, and she let out a sigh when his thumb caressed the bud of her puckered nipple.He was still kissing her. Their tongues lip locking lightly, and every move he made sent warmth rushing through her body and made her heart race. Suddenly, Damien pulled back and smiled softly at her before placing a gentle kiss on her neck, and she heard him whisper, “Fuck Maddie. Your scent… it’s driving me crazy and… I’ve missed you so much….” He trailed off, his voice shaking as if sobbing and the sound tugged at her he
“Sure, I’ll come visit.”“We will come visit.” Damien chimed in, throwing Madison a wink, and she just laughed softly.His hands wrapped possessively around her waist, Madison leaned further into his arms, sighing satisfactorily as she bade her family goodbye.Watching as everyone got into the jeep Damien had provided to take them home, she continued waving at the moving car until finally, the vehicle was out of the mansion’s heavy gates, and it was just her and Damien standing outside in the cold.It’d been a long night, filled with eating, drinking, and dancing, and now it was all over, and as much as she had not wanted the event to end, she was rather grateful.She was tired, and she could do with some sleep as it stood. “Hey, lovebirds.” A familiar voice called behind, and they both turned back to check.It was Alvarez, and he was coming down from the mansion's stairs, bag and suitcase packed already, and Madison’s brow raised immediately, the sleep at the corner of her eyes disa
“…I still have a lot to say, but this toast would be incomplete without my late father, Mr Daniel. It’s so funny how everything that happened all till this day is somehow intertwined with the events of the past. I can’t say the memories are worthwhile, but then everything happens for a reason, and I know that wherever he is right now, he would be watching us with love, admiration, and pride. I am also proud, not because of my achievements or everything I might have gained in these past few years. But because of what I became after all these incidents. I would never have imagined this scenario, but I am grateful for it. This enmity and malice between our families have been long gone, but we still have to look out for each other, especially when the situation gets tough. However, it can only get better from here. That I know!” The sound of applause filling the room as Damien continued his speech had Madison’s lips quivering, and she fought the urge not to cry.The way he spoke was so e
“Hello, mother.” Damien smiled ruefully, his arms wide as he embraced Mrs Connor, and she dutifully fell into his warm hug.“Son…” She began, “You look so good and strong already. How are you doing?“ She queried with a raised brow, and Damien chuckled all the more.“I’m doing fine, as you can see, thanks to Madison.” He finished with a wink, and the pretty older woman laughed heartily.“Come in, come in,” Damien said again, his hands outstretched as he led her into his modest abode.Kissing her on both cheeks, he allowed her to wander in and turned to face the rest of Madison’s family.Her father, brothers and their spouses were all present tonight for the reunion party and from the look of things, there was going to be a full house.However, Damien reveled in it. He was more than happy that they’d all honored the invitation, and knowing that this dinner event would usher in many more to come, his eyelids twinkled as another waning idea flickered into his thoughts.“Hello, brother.” M
“I’ve been trying mother’s cell phone, but it hasn’t been going through, father. Where is she?” “Hello to you too, Maddie.” Mr Connor greeted, and Madison sighed, rubbing her left hand on her forehead. “Afternoon, father. How are you doing?” She politely asked, a smile flickering on her lips as he replied “I am doing okay. Better than ever. Your mother went to the grocery store nearby to get some things for dinner tonight and….” “Why is she still going out on her own father?” Madison abruptly asked, continuing, “Damien’s made sure she doesn’t have to worry about all these. You both… I mean, the household staff he hired should be able to….” “You know how stubborn your mother can sometimes be, and I couldn’t object. She wanted to go out and get the things she needed specifically. Just leave her be.” Mr Connor said, and Madison could only jet out a worried exhale. However, hearing her father’s cheery voice lifted her heart enthusiastically, and tears pooled at the back of her eyes.
