All Chapters of ADDICTIVE LOVE: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Damian came home from work much later than expected. Lilian had finished cleaning and had taken Antonio's advice on eating. His buns were delicious with cream filling. Damian took a quick look around the house and said nothing. He went straight upstairs and signaled Lilian to follow him. She stuffed the last piece of cream bun in her mouth and walked grudgingly upstairs. Damian was already taking off his shirt when she came in."Ever heard of a paper towel?""What?" said Lilian, a bit confused."Wipe your mouth. You look like you just give someone a blow job."Lilian touched her lip. She had a cream filling all over her mouth."What if I did?"Damian looked at her with a raised eyebrow and said nothing. She walked over to his wine cupboard and took a paper towel and wiped her mouth."Did I ask you to go there?""Nope, but I figured that since you weren't going to be a gentleman and get me one, I might as well do it myself."Damian rolled his eyes. He didn't have her time."Your cleani

Work was even busier for Damian the next day. His entire focus was on planning his business event that was to be held in three days. He was to make a speech and present their latest business idea. He wasn't really concerned about the speech but he was scared that it wasn't going to go the way he had planned it out, just like the way his meeting spiraled out of control. He needed to also buy something more festive and presentable. He needed to buy something that made him look amazing. He remembered that Lilian was yet to get something better for herself after she turned down his suggestion of the blue dress. What was wrong with the color blue? He also remembered that she said that she wasn't going to let him see the dress and he wasn't one to go back on his word. He had to...trust her.He dreaded that word–trust. This was business. He trusted no one. He relied on and only trusted himself. And he was definitely not going to trust an ex-thief. But she gave him her word that she wasn't g

Lilian was dumbfounded. Did he just leave her hanging? She huffed in anger and tried to put her shirt back on but her legs were still a bit shaky. She sat up and steadied herself; her legs felt a bit numb. After a while, she regained full composure. She wore her dress that was long enough to cover her bottom and picked up her pantie from the floor. Damian had ripped it and it was useless now. She exhaled in suppressed anger and went to chuck her torn underwear in the bin. She walked upstairs to her. Something in her wanted to go to Damian's room, kick down his door and give him a piece of her mind. She decided to be reasonable and go to her room instead. She had to go wash herself and probably wash the feeling of Damian's lips over her breast. He had long left her for his room but she could still feel his light touches over her nipples. She headed for the shower and let the cool water run over her and bring her back to full reality. She needed to control herself, she needed to avoid h

Lilian shook her head vigorously. She was acting weird and she knew it. Did she just openly flirt with her arch-nemesis? It seemed like she did and it was horrible. What was wrong with her? She needed to focus. She was going to escape tonight so she had to make everything she did count. She only had one shot at this. She headed to the kitchen and saw Antonio cleaning up the plates. He smile at her and continued washing the dishes."Still going to go ahead with your plan Miss Mendez?"Lilian looked at Antonio with an exasperated look. She didn't want him to bring it up, especially not now. She said nothing."I guess I'll take that as a yes then," he said while he scrubbed a pot. "You know, you don't have to do this, right? I can see a growing spark between you two.""What growing spark? Come on Antonio, he doesn't care a dime about me. If he wants me, it's because he needs sex, and if I want him, it's because I need sex too. Okay?"Antonio exhaled deeply. She really was as thick-headed

Damian was furious but he kept his anger in check as the party was almost over. He delivered an amazing presentation and everyone was awed by his new business idea. As the evening dragged on, the guests began to leave one by one. By 12 midnight, the hall was empty apart from the security personnel, the waiters who were cleaning up, Adam, and Damian."What do you mean by 'she escaped'?!" Damian was seething. His green eyes glowed bright and hot. He was furious."I'm sorry Sir. She came up behind me and knocked me out." Greg was in big trouble. He had woken up with a bruise on his head. The guard that was in charge of watching the restroom she used was also very shaky.Damian looked at his entire security team. He tried to calm himself down but he was boiling."You mean to tell me that all of you were conned by a woman?! You all are more pathetic and stupid than I thought! I want her back here this..."Damian's phone cut him short. He was not in the mood for calls. He answered it and a s
