DamonThe room went eerily quite as everyone attention was on the presentation that was being led by one of the coworkers. "65% of our clients are from the eastern part so I think the best way is to take charge of the small companies there" He explained. If we'd go by the number he stated, I think we'd get a sensible result. "That's all I have to say" He ended folding his hands at his front. From the expression and the nodding from the rest of the members, they were quite satisfied with what he explained. "Thank you for the idea. We'd put that into consideration. The floor is open for questions" I uttered intertwining my hands on the tabletop. "I think everyone is satisfied then. We'll call it a day then" As I walked out of the meeting hall, Leah followed suit. "What's my next schedule?""You have a lunch meeting with Mr. Anderson regarding the materials of the outfits""What time?""2:30pm sir" Okay, I bet today is going to be one exhausting day for me again. I haven't gotten eno

HazelThe medium sized LCD TV was on with the world news playing as my mother gave it all her attention. Whereas for my case, my eyes were only glued to the screen but I have no idea what is going on. My mind was elsewhere. I haven't been thinking straight lately. I tried to keep on a cool face in front of my parents. But my mom could see right through me. They gave me the space I needed. It's high time I tell them the reason why I suddenly left everything and came back home. But then again, I don't think I'm ready for that. Not with the current situation. It's better if they don't know what is going on between me and Damon. His engagement with Mia was all over the news, social media and everywhere. He was all calm standing beside Mia in the shopping mall. He let go of everything we had just like that. I swallowed a bitter lump that find it's way to my throat. “I think the bread is burning” Mom ushered snapping me out of the reverie I ventured into. I ran to the kitchen in a fast pa

DamonI hit the steering wheel hard as I felt bitterness at the tip of my tongue. A bitter anger. “I hate her!” I seethe out blowing more fist on the steering wheel. My inside was burning with anger. Rage is the right word to use in my current. Even at my angry state, all I could think of was her. Of our memories making me more angrier. All the memories are nothing to her? Even after pleading her not to leave. Yet she did. Was that her plan to elope with Lucas. It was that all along. I know it now. They did that together. To get close to my company. How stupid I was to believe her. Thinking we’d have future together. The fact that she threw everything away like it's nothing was what is eating me up. I clenched my jaw as I think of what to do. I ignite the engine to life and drove off. I went straight to my parents house. Where my mother and Mia were having their discussion as usual. “Damon why didn't you pick up my calls” My mother commenced immediately they sighted me.“You seem an

Hazel Okay, I think I'm taking things much overboard. I shouldn't have included Lucas in my matters. That is me giving him hope. I told Layla I'm getting married in a anger. It was a call to get an advice in return, she put everything on me which made me broke out the lie that Lucas and I are getting married. I didn't even consult Lucas himself. I know by now she'd have broken the news to the other girls if not Derek. And if Derek knows, definitely Damon will know. Some part of me was quite glad that Damon will then think I've moved on. But in reality nothing is the case. I've not moved on a bit. I've not forgotten about our memories. I just can not forget what we had just like that. My parent wouldn't understand me because they are not in my shoes. All they care about is the money. Not their daughter's feelings. I'm sure every lady would take the same decision I took. How’d you feel when another woman is carrying the man you love child and on top of that they're getting married. Wo

Damon I was so eager for the meeting to finish so that I will leave. We were discussing about the missing gap in the sales report. The meeting was held with only few employees. The shocking expression on my father's face when he learnt about what was going on in his company for a very long time. As the meeting ended, I followed my father to his office to finish the remaining discussion. “Such thing is going on in my company for over five years and I didn't know about it. No even a hint!” He sounded angry. “I think this is done by the previous manager. He knows everything that is moving”“You’re right. I'm glad you found out. Even though its not early but then it's not too late. From now on everything will be double checked before it gets signed” I nodded my head in answer. He's right. Through it we'll be able to run a smooth transaction. A moment of silence befell us as both of us went into a series of thinking. “Hope you've not forgotten about the family dinner later tonight?” I

HazelFive months later “Drop me here Sir” I asserted using my hand to tap on the car seat. The car came to a halt in front of my father's new restaurant. I grabbed the bouquet of flowers from beside me and made my way out. Today is the grand opening of his renovated restaurant. People have not started coming in. I want to be the first person to congratulate him. I ushered my way inside pulling the glass door open. “Hello ladies and gentlemen” I cheered making my presence known. All my father's workers attention turned to me. “Welcome Miss Hazel” Lizzy one of them said taking the bouquet of flowers from me. “Thank you Lizzy. Where is my Dad?” I was already eager to see him. “He’s in the kitchen” I wasted no time in making my way to the kitchen. A smile broke at my lips seeing him explaining something to the chef. I waited till he's done before I made my presence known. “Hazel”“Congratulations father on the new achievement” I cheered wrapping my arms around him. “Thank you dear

DamonI sipped my coffee as I stare at the sales report of my client intently. Just by that you'd know something is wrong. I wonder how they expect their company to get exposure when they don't hire the right people to couch their business. A knock sounded from the door came in my assistant Rob. “Sorry to disturb you Sir, Miss Mia is here to see you” An exasperated breath left my lips followed by me dropping the pen from my hand. She wouldn't let me be in peace would she. She knew exactly when I'm in the office, I require no attention. I don't want to be disturbed. Yet, if I don't let her in she'd think I'm depriving her of her right. When there's no one in the first place. I'm only carrying out the duty of a sensible man. Mia came to Scotland two weeks ago. I couldn't let her leave knowing the condition she was in. She has to pause every project of hers to take care of the baby. And then it was something low key, she got to be extra careful which was why I allowed her to stay back

HazelThey say it takes time for wounds to healed up. That was the exact thing I felt the moment my eyes set on Damon. I felt as if all the walls I built crumble down. The sound of my heart beating echo through my ears. I could hear it vividly. It was as if nothing matters at that moment. Only us. The memories I thought I left behind surfaces again. It came back to me like a piercing needle to my chest. “What’s wrong?” I heard Lucas said. He followed my gaze and we both went into a series of staring at Damon as much as he was on us. Damon was the first person to avert his eyes away making his way towards one of the spare chairs. Up to that moment I wasn't in my right state of mind. “Pull yourself together Hazel” Lucas muffled out beside me. “Remember all what you worked for all these months”He’s right. I worked so hard to get to where I was now. To forget I once knew Damon Lorenzo. But then seeing him now got me questioning myself. Did I really forget about Damon. Did I threw away

DamonI glanced at my watch for the umpteenth time as I awaits the arrival of my clients. I only agreed to fly all the way here so that I will have a look at the surrounding well and see where the problem lies. We were supposed to meet last night but she said something came up. Funny enough with all the interaction with each other we didn't see face to face. Our interaction was through emails. Asked me how I spent the night? It was a disaster. I literally slept on the floor because the bed doesn't look safe to me. In the first place it doesn't look like a bed that I will enjoy sleeping on. And for the bathroom, It was a worst nightmare. If I could reverse back in time, I wouldn't make a mistake of lodging at the inn. They say don't judge a book by its cover but it was the other way round. The cover is just a souvenir. Nothing is good inside. I can't wait to leave the place. They seriously need a better buildings. Most especially to guest coming from other part of the country. I have

Hazel“Where are you taking me Damon. Stop the car!” He didn't pay attention to me or even much spare me a glance. He was driving in high speed. Then door and windows were locked. I shake his body off pulling his arms. “Stop the car Damon! This is not right!”“Oh yes it is right. I'm taking my responsibility” He seethe in a kind of voice that I have never heard him used before. I saw a complete different person in front of me. My mind and body went into a series of fears. Where could he be taking me? I was afraid of how he was driving so fast. Seeing that me sitting at the back seat is of no use, I dragged my body towards the front seat and reached for the door lock only to get pulled back by Damon. “What the hell do you think you're doing!” I yelled out trying to free myself from his hold. He was using one hand to drive and the other to hold me. “You will know what I'm up to if you stay calm. There's no hiding away again Hazel. We are not going to back out from each other”“What do
