Chapter 58The day continued solemnly for Lilian. She spent the rest of it watching her movie and making notes. She found an old notebook and a pencil in case Damian didn't want her writing on it. She was silent on her bed and soon got hungry again. It was past four and she knew that Sean was probably back and was making dinner. She really didn't want to go down and see him. It would be too awkward. She soon heard a car roll in. Damian was home but she didn't budge. Soon she could hear his footsteps climb up the staircase and his door opened and closed as he went into his room. She still didn't budge and to distract herself, she put on her headphones and raised the volume.Damian was exhausted and hungry. A maid came and signaled that dinner would soon be ready. He took off his clothes and headed to the bathroom for a shower. The weather was hot and he really wanted to have a cool calming shower. As he bathed, he realized that he hadn't heard Lilian's voice or footsteps. What on eart
Chapter 59Tuesday was a bright new day and Lilian was up early and it was strange to her as she was always one to sleep in. She wondered if there was something wrong with her. She looked at her wall clock, it was past four and she didn't feel sleepy. She tried to close her eyes and drift back to sleep but her eyes refused to be closed. What on earth was she going to be doing from four till when the sun woke up? She exhaled and picked up the tablet. Seemed she was going to watch another episode of the 'The Alphas'. The seasons were getting more interesting and at a point she actually felt happy that she was up this early. As she watched, she noticed that Damian was just like the male lead, Hector, in the movie. They both had a very dominating and imposing aura. He was never caught off guard. Nothing impressed or surprised him.The sex scenes in the movie were very much adult rated. And the way he handled women in bed was very dominating and she would watch it and imagine Damian havin
Chapter 60Lilian was quiet in her room. After her short fuse burst with Sean, she was quite unhappy. With nothing better to do, she says down to another episode of 'The Alphas'. She had almost finished two seasons. The house was so boring. Gwen had been fired and was now in nursing school, Sean and her weren't on the best terms, Antonio was still home and she wasn't sure that he was going to come back anytime soon and Damian was at work doing only God knows what. Tuesday was officially a shitty day of the week.After finishing up season two, she craved something new to do. She left the tablet to charge in her room and headed to the living room for some better and more diverse shows. The screen of the television looked so much bigger because her eyes had been glued to a tablet for so long. She got herself comfy on the sofa and looked through the channels for something worth watching. But there was nothing on TV. The Kardashians were having an interview but she wasn't a big fan and the
Chapter 61The evening was quiet and solemn. Lilian was in her room watching the movie on her tablet. Damian had asked her to come to his room but she was scared to go and for good reason. All the bad stuff that had happened to her had happened in his room. What did he even want her for anyway? Maybe he was actually angry about her shooting Dean. Or probably he was angry that she had left the house and gone outside without his permission.She looked at the clock. It was past eight. The sooner she went, the better. She sighed and got up from her bed. She walked out and headed to Damian's room. She knocked weakly and then slowly entered his room. All was quiet. The lights were on and the windows were open but there was no Damian. She walked to the bathroom door and put her ears on it to hear the sounds of splashing water but there was nothing. She headed back to the door. She would check on him later. As she was about to grab the handle, the door opened and Damian almost bumped into Lil
Chapter 62Damian was having a boring day at work there was nothing to do and everything was running smoothly. He had successfully revitalized the businesses he bought from Jackson and Torres and he placed them under the position of management but he kept an eagle eye on them in case they decided to start stealing funds.Adam suddenly knocked on the door and walked in briskly. A lot had changed in Adam. He wasn't reacting as badly to Damian's insults. He was actually in a better mood these days and was having a bigger smile on his face. Damian noticed it but he didn't care to know why. Sometimes he did wish that Adam was a little boy so that he could slap that stupid smile from his face. He had known Adam since business school. He was the needy kid that everyone made fun of. No one had ever taken Adam seriously. Once he graduated from school he employed Adam as his assistant and they have been working together since then. He hadn't changed much. He was still the sissy he was in busine
He stood up and walked back home. He would give the rose stem to the gardener to replant. He passed Antonio's house and there was no one in front of it this time. He walked silently down the road and soon he was in front of his gate. The guards opened the gate and found the gardener tending to a dying plant. He was trying to decide on what plant to use to replace it. Damian walked up to him and he was startled terribly."Here. Plant this."The gardener took the flower stem and nodded. Damian walked inside. He found Sean setting up breakfast. The maids were busy cleaning. They greeted him but as usual, he ignored them. He walked up to his room and found Lilian in his bed watching 'The Alphas'."You're back.""And you're awake."He took off his sweatshirt and headed into the shower for a warm bath. Lilian was feeling much better and she had taken her bath. She was dressed in some shorts and a shirt.She had reached the most tense part of season three and she was glued to the screen. She
Chapter 64Lilian was a bit frightened but Damian stood his ground. The hooligans–five of them–stopped what they were doing and walked menacingly towards them. They had poles and bats in their hands but no gun was seen."What you looking at, huh? Move along, pretty boy."Damian said nothing but stood his ground. Lilian looked at the gang men and was assessing them as much as she could. She looked carefully and saw one concealed gun beneath his shirt. She wasn't sure if Damian had seen it and there was no way she could alarm them without drawing too much attention."Are you deaf mate? I said move it!"But Damian was unfazed and unimpressed.He gave the blanket to Lilian and faced the gang squarely.They started to laugh at Damian."Look at this. Pretty boy here thinks he can take us. How bout we beat him up and take his bitch. She's a hot number, eh."They closed in on Damian and one took his chance and threw the first punch. Damian was swift and agile and dodged it. He hit him squarel
Chapter 65He groaned and palmed his face. How could he be so forgetful? Well there was nothing he could do about it now he was in the hospital and he doubted he would have any time after that day. As he lay in bed, Lilian walked in with a bag of Chinese takeout. "I didn't know what else you liked so I just bought the takeout."Damian gestured to the bedside table and she put it there."How are you feeling now?" she asked as she sat down."The same."Damian wasn't in the mood to talk. All he wanted was to get out of this stupid bed and go home. Lilian exhaled. She wasn't going to push the questions. His apathy to the discussion was apparent. They sat there in silence looking at random objects but not each other.It was getting late but Lilian had still not gone back home. After a while, Damian was getting irritated by her presence. Her sitting at his bedside made him feel weak. For goodness sake, he wasn't dying."Aren't you going to go home?""No. I'll stay here.""Go home. I'll be
