ADDICTIVE LOVE CHAPTER TEN
Tuesday was busy for Damian. This meeting was really important to him. If had never taken anything seriously in his life, this was certainly an exception. He was having an important meeting with his rivals and had to make a good impression. He had been topping them for years now so he had to show that it was not all just dumb luck.As he dressed, he wondered if he should still take Lilian along. That lady was trouble but it was not like she was going to do anything important. She was the hottest thing he had amongst his staff. She was just going to stand there and be the 'attractive assistant that caught everyone's attentionHe looked at the dress he had brought out her for the occasion. It was red and sleek. With a neckline that was a bit wide so that her full cleavage could be seen. He wanted to make sure that everyone else slobbered over her like the dogs they were. He had bought himself a new suit to match as well. It was ironic that assistants matched their bosses. He asked one
ADDICTIVE LOVE CHAPTER ELEVEN
Damian waited for the suit. He gripped angrily at his desk. The cleaner tried her best not to meet his angry gaze. She was quick yet thorough. The faster she cleaned the better it would be for her. Soon she was done and she took her leave. No sooner had she left, than the driver came in with a new suit. It wasn't as grand as the one he had but considering the large crimson stain he had running down his shirt, the new suit was way better. He went to the bathroom and got changed. He didn't plan today like this at all. As he attended to his injury, he remembered the snickering faces of his rivals when they saw him. It angered him and the sting of the methylated spirit on his cheek intensified it."This is all Lilian's fault. She did it on purpose," he thought. He cleaned up properly and headed towards the conference room. He was fifteen minutes behind schedule.As he walked in, the room was silent. He could hear slight snickers and could feel their mocking looks all over him. He took his
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
