ADDICTIVE LOVE CHAPTER TWELVE
The morning was early. It was Wednesday. Lilian had slept in again. She knew the maids let her sleep on purpose. They definitely didn't want to get in her way. Not with the mood that she was in. As her eyes fluttered open she could hear the Chrysler leave the compound. Damian had gone to work. "Good riddance!" Lilian thought. The planet had enough assholes already. She was going to sleep in. She however got up and looked at her face in the mirror. The bruises had mostly healed, but the outlines were still very visible. She sighed and was about to head back to bed and soon heard a light knock on the door."Miss Mendez..."Lilian flung the door open and terribly startled the poor maid. She was lucky the door opened the opposite way, else she would have had a terrible concussion."Morning," Lilian said emotionlessly."Morning Miss Mendez. Mr. Richards asked that this be given to you."She handed her some folded clothes. She took them and gave a hasty thanks and shut the door. She really
ADDICTIVE LOVE CHAPTER THIRTEEN
Damian was seated on his armchair. With whiskey in his hand as usual. Soon he heard a knock on his door."Mr. Richards, dinner is ready.""I'll eat a bit late."And with that, the maid took her leave. Damian continued to sit patiently. Maybe she wasn't coming. Not that it...Soon another knock was heard. His door opened and Lilian came in. She looked emotionlessly at him.Damian smirked."Nice of you to join the party," he said with a smile as he downed the remaining contents of his drink. Lilian walked up to him and sat on the armchair just opposite him. She poured herself some whiskey and downed it all in one gulp."I'm here because I want to be here and not because you convinced me to," she said coldly."Of course you are," said Damian as he stood up and went to his bedside. He took off his watch and set it down on the table. He turned his head to the waste basket that lay near the door. It was filled with discarded papers."Be a good maid and throw those out. That's why I called y
ADDICTIVE LOVE CHAPTER FOURTEEN
Damian got dressed and lay on his bed, his head spinning. Was he angry that Lilian teased him? Yes, he was but it wasn't that big a deal. He looked at his watch. It was past 1. He looked out the window and saw that the sky was looking beautiful and bright. Maybe he would go on a stroll. He had been cooped up at home for a while and hadn't had a little leisure time. He got up and dressed properly. A pair of casual jeans and a black shirt would do perfectly. He asked the driver to prepare his BMW and that he was going into the countryside. He also asked the chef to prepare an early lunch for him–and Lilian. He was taking her along with him. She hadn't left his house for the past four months she had been his maid, except on days that he took her to work.It was settled. He was taking the she-devil out with him. The chef brought lunch for Damian and he took the other tray to Lilian who was surprised to have lunch brought to her so early. She however ate happily. She loved Antonio's cookin
ADDICTIVE LOVE CHAPTER FIFTEEN
The driver drove out of the Southside but didn't go home. He took a turn and headed into the countryside. It was getting late and the breeze was cool and refreshing."Where are we going?" Lilian asked."Not a shooting range," was Damian's reply. Lilian pouted and said nothing more. They kept driving until they reached a beautiful fenced compound. They stepped out and Damian brought out a key and opened the gate. As they walked inside, Lilian's mouth opened wide. The garden was a magnificent sight. She had never seen anything so perfect and beautiful. The driver walked up to Damian's and handed him a blanket.Were they going to have a picnic? But they didn't pack any food or drinks. What kind of picnic was this?Lilian wandered through the twisting paths. The flowers were in full bloom. The scent of marigolds, roses, chrysanthemums, bluebells, and daffodils gave the air a concoction of smells. It was beautiful. There were willow trees, swaying daintily in the wind, and a large oak tr
ADDICTIVE LOVE CHAPTER SIXTEEN
Sunday was silent. The maids had Sundays off. Lilian and Damian were both in their rooms. Lilian had rummaged through his library again and was reading another book that caught her interest. Damian on the other hand was having a calming cigar and a whiskey. He had nothing really to do. He dropped the cigar and popped open his laptop. No email, no texts, nothing. Well, there were texts, just not reasonable ones. The e-mails he had were from his past play toys. There was one from Lisa, Xena, Yasmin, Chloé e.t.c.He rolled his eyes. What the hell did they want? He made it clear to them that he was done with them. They had served their purpose. They should have known by now that he didn't do feelings and love. He wasn't that type of man. He deleted their e-mails and for good measure, he blocked them. They were clogging up his inbox.He looked at his watch. It was past 9. He was always an early riser, even on Sundays. He called for the chef to prepare his breakfast and have it ready on the
ADDICTIVE LOVE CHAPTER SEVENTEEN
Damian acted on instinct. He flew downstairs towards the back door and opened it. He ran down the hallway. He was just in time to see Lilian disappear beneath the water. He kicked off his shoes and jumped into the water after her. He swam towards her as he saw final bubbles drift to the surface. He took a dive and pulled her upwards to the surface. She was limp. He swam to the edge of the pool and put her on the edge. He climbed out and checked her vitals. His eyes looked intently at her chest to check if she was breathing.He administered chest compressions. But she was still not responding. Soon he saw a slight smile and it grew wider and became a laugh."Awwwwwn. What a hero!" Lilian said laughing so hard that her sides hurt.Damian was angry. He had just flown down the stairs and jumped in, with clothes, to save her. He actually thought she was drowning. Lilian still lay on the ground near the edge of the pool laughing. Damian had had enough. He put his foot on her and kicked her
ADDICTIVE LOVE CHAPTER EIGHTEEN
Damian was in his room. His jaw hurt badly. Lilian had a mean right hook. She was out of control. His nose was bleeding a little less but his new shirt was stained with blood. He went to the freezer he had in his room and got an ice pack and placed it on his nose as he held his head back. He was in pain. He imagined how much pain he would have actually been in if her kick had connected with his balls. Instinctively, his hands went down there to cradle them. The thought of it already made his groin hurt slightly. He was still taking her to work. He wasn't sorry about anything he had done. She needed to learn respect and if that meant learning it the hard way, then so be it. He went to the bathroom cupboard and got out a bottle of aspirin and some spirit and plasters. He had looked in the mirror and saw a slight cut on his nose. What kind of woman gives head buts?! The cut stung as the spirit seeped into the wound. He took off his blood-stained shirt and threw it in the corner alongside
ADDICTIVE LOVE CHAPTER NINETEEN
Work went ok for Lilian except for the occasional stares at her bruised forehead. A few people did ask her what happened to her and her reply was that she hit her head on a shelf. A wise few however didn't need to be told what happened to her as they had seen Damian's bruised nose earlier. She had not made any friends at work because she mostly kept to herself and Damian was a strict employee. She put a pen in her pocket and felt the money that the old man had given her. Her escape plan was coming together. She had paid $5 as a bus fare and still had $195 left. It was more than enough to get her home from any part of New York. Unless of course, the business even wasn't in New York but in another city or country together. She erased the idea of it being anywhere else but New York from her mind. The event was on Saturday so she had less than five days to get all the necessary info that she needed. She finished with file delivery and went off to get coffee. She could have equally escape
