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
ADDICTIVE LOVE CHAPTER TWENTY
The night was quiet and soundless. There wasn't a single cloud in the sky. The moon's presence was replaced with millions of twinkling stars. The lock of Lilian's room turned and soon a gentle click of the door closing could barely be heard. Lilian opened her eyes slightly and a dark figure which stood in the corner caught her eye. She ignored it. It was probably just the shadow of a tree or something. She turned and continued to sleep peacefully. But then again, what would a tree be doing in her room? Soon she felt pressure on the e corner of her bed. She opened her eyes a little but didn't turn. Maybe it was just her imagination. Soon the pressure increased. She was now fully awake but dared not move. Was it a burglar or something? Soon she could feel the figure directly above her, it's warm breath on the back of her neck. She was frozen in a spot. She didn't know what to do. Soon a warm hand pushed her hair away from her neck. Lilian couldn't take it anymore. She pounced on the fi
ADDICTIVE LOVE CHAPTER TWENTY - ONE
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
