CHAPTER 21

The past few days had run mad, terribly to a fault. What felt like better days went sour on the brink.At this time, the cloud bore more water than it could carry, safe to say the sky is pregnant. Naomi’s heart had become clouded with sorrows, now, unbearable. The gestation period doesn't bargain; it has taken her working power, putting her in an unnecessary stay-at-home. A compulsory sacrifice every woman has been making to ensure life and the human race remains, till a day after forever.The world stole her smile. Notwithstanding, she is a good actor who makes masking her stolen smile with another smooth.“Hello, Clara. Are you free for a quick talk?”“How about when I come home?”“Not a bad idea. But….”“Babe, I am attending to a client here, we’ll talk when I reach home.” Clara cuts in and drops the call.Naomi felt a sharp cut slit through her stomach, causing her heart to skip twice. Hot watery stuff escaped her eyes. Her heart felt heavy. It felt like her he

CHAPTER 22

This face rings a bell. I know him. I am not too sure if he knows me. “Naomi!!” Clara strided, calling Naomi’s attention whose attention was fixed at his facials. She came close, waving her right hand in a bid to disrupt Naomi's plans to get a hold of her hard-earned man.“Better stop staring. Go get the father of your unborn.” she sneered in whispers. “Anyway, you should get going already.” she blurted, folding both arms to form a resting spot for her mammary glands. She unwrapped her arms and made for her purse that was stuck out from her back pocket. I picked out a 300-dollar bill and stretched it to Naomi.Naomi took the cash, fixing her gaze in her eyes, seeking assurance that this unfair treatment was temporary.She stood there stunned, watching Clara's miraculous behind shaking unapologetically. Did she have a choice? She picked herself up, closed the gate behind her and stepped into the streets for a short walk before reconsidering taking a cab since it is advisable for h

Chapter 23

Several rude people have the biggest heart. The world must have pounced on them, staining their beautiful heart, black. But a part of them reserves unreserved kindness.Theresa was quite welcoming. And three of her grown children had come to visit for Easter family time. No dull moment was recorded.The heart-to-heart talk with Naomi was supposed to be between the two. Awkward, awkward, she won’t stand Theresa excusing her grown-ups from the dining table for some story. C'mon, everyone has their story, let's share. Naomi's emotional intelligence was at its peak; she could easily perceive pure hearts and bad eggs.The reason she did not settle for Damian.“Big tummy, that's a long sad story. Don't you think it's high time you travelled far away? Where no eagle eyes could feed on your life and your baby's?” Theresa suggested with a wry line cutting across her cheeks.“How about you go stay with my daughter in Japan? She's not ill-mannered like me. Her father taught her b

CHAPTER 24

How do you resist a glaring charm that burns right in every artery of your body? I mean, how possible is it to turn down the hottest and most influential rich spoilt kid in college? Every girl wanted a bite of his Adam’s apple. But no. Naomi wasn't easily carried away by those broad chests, hanger shoulder vanity. But it does a thing to her when he comes this close.This close, in an enclosed spot, soon after the final whistle was sent in the air, calling for an end to the popular college basketball sport. Quite unusual, Damian walked in. All eyes converged to where he was standing. The girls in the Stadium made fruitless winks at him; his curly hair sat over his shoulders, his eyes gleamed like the calling stars; his pink lip was a delight to watch. Murmurs rose into the air. The problem is, no one dared to walk close to having a picture with him. Like, who would risk that? The prideful Damian? You better keep your head for use, or else it'd be cut off.He strolled with his hands

CHAPTER 25

The natural tendency for humans to respond swiftly to negative news, strongly controlled by the negativity bias in the brain, made the news spread beyond wildfire speed. The talk of the town came in different versions, both watered down and something close to fake. “The kidnapped girl is Billionaire Damian's Ex-wife.” “I beg you, in the name of whatever bottle you have in your hands, don’t splash your stinky tongue in this case, Mr FakeNews Bankk.”A group of four friends who loved hanging out for an insane number of hours in the evenings to pop bear kept throwing arguments about the top one news in New Jersey.“Son of bitches. Thank God my father wasn't this useless. relieve him of his balls.” Damian whispered above his voice, dragged the last pinch of his cigarette and dumped the stump, stamping his feet to put off the fire.“Any useful information yet?” he demanded raising a brow. One just had to say yes to his every demand or get punched in the face. Damian never takes no for

CHAPTER 26

Lost in his dilemma, he could not fathom if he was actually risking his family’s name, investments and companies for the right reason. Was it about the incident that left him in shreds, particularly, now half a man? Maybe his way of punishing her for destroying him? Or was he gradually losing his five senses to lust? No. Not lust, I can’t be that cheap. Love? No! he shook off the thought, rubbing his nose bridge–hard, grinning his jaw to approve of disgust to himself for letting a thought of an illusion like love. A sharp voice from the front seat cut into his thoughts, reporting, “We are 60 kilometres away from the abandoned factory house, sir.”He quickly put himself back to act as the boss, showing no sign of weakness. He lifted his gaze to meet Rex, whose eyes were sternly fixed on him with concerns about the looks on his face. “G—ood,” His voice failed. “eh erhm.” he cleared his throat to shake off further suspicion about his emotional state, then reconstructed his statement

CHAPTER 27

With both hands tied to the back, her mouth, sealed with a tape, both legs were tied with a heavy short rope that extended to a heavy stone, which was sitting at the bottom of the pull, pulling her weight to the bottom of the pool. She curled into a foetus shape, her blonde hair floating upwards. And the water, calm.Damian forgot to send instructions this time, as he did not know when his heavy legs ran uncontrollably and finally made a huge impact–splash on the pool as he dived into the pool swimming vigorously to the bottom of the pool where Naomi was now floating with her jaw resting on her chest.His heart stopped for a split second; his heart jumped to his throat, and he almost forgot he was underwater as he wanted to shout at Naomi to look up that he was there for her.Even if he did shout, she was too unconscious to have heard him at the time he arrived.He held her by the face with his hands on each side of her chin, lifted it up and it felt stiff. His eyes read the shocking

CHAPTER 28

Damian clung his hands to the stretcher Naomi was laid, helping the nurses push a little faster. Though the nurses flinched to signal him off, they had little or no guts to tell influential Damian what to do.“Mr. Damian?” A middle-aged man with strands of grey on his bushy mustache, covered with a white coverall, with a portable stethoscope in his palm called Damian from behind.Damian looked back through the corners of his right eye and squinted his eye as though he was racking up his memory to know how he met the Doctor that just called him.One thing that never came by surprise was his popularity almost everywhere he stepped in. The Doctor strode to meet the moving nurses and Damian.“Good evening, sir. I am Williams MD.” He kept jogging in action while trying to get Damian familiar with their hospital’s standard procedures. “Yes, Doctor?” Damian raised his brow for details for calling him, yet his face was unreadable.“Uhm.. sorry, our standard procedures demand that only autho

CHAPTER 29

“Hello, Sir. The culprits behind Naomi’s tragic situation have been reprimanded in police custody.” Damian’s jaw tightened, his fingernails folded, touching his palm; the news should do a thing to him, maybe court a curt-lived smile on his face, or just maybe, hike his thirst for blood. If wishes were horses, he’d give the perpetrators of such outrageous acts a slow-painful death.“Who are they?” He asked, with pain in his voice. And his eyes, colouring brown with anger, flickering, left to right, yet all he could see were imaginations of what the devil's faces should look like.“They’re connected to a long-time incident with Naomi. The reports have it that they came to take revenge after Naomi for running a vehicle over their family member, who unfortunately died in the hospital, 3 days later.”Damian’s eyes brightened, his memories, strong, reeling with an electric current speed to pick out why they came, blood hot for revenge. He had been at the forefront of the mess.A few minute

CHAPTER 30

Sharp screams pierced through the air, calling the attention of everyone in the building, literally.Damian took to his heels, walking briskly like an old woman whose grandchild had been touched.He pushed the door knob without a prior warning of bashing in. There is Naomi, struggling to take in air, her body felt heavy to carry, and the world seemed to whirl before her eyes–Whilst her body kept sinking into the bed, her face gradually submerging into a water body, and her heart jumped to her throat, causing her gut to churn out of low oxygen supply, and her hands felt stiff,--Unshaken like it was struck with a stroke, she pressed tight her eyelids together as if that action would call for a cease in the chaos that was happening around her.Hot tears escaped both edges of her eyes, drooling towards each ear on opposite ends. She could be clearly seen panting, and the monitors kept beeping, at deafening decibels.“Naomi! Naomi!” Her squinted eyes and muscles relaxed a bit on hearing
