ADDICTIVE LOVE CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO
Damian was so engrossed in his work that he didn't notice that he left Lilian on the chair. He looked up over his laptop and saw her sleeping, her head propped up on her shoulder. She looked so peaceful and harmless. Her chest slowly and gently bobbed up and down with each breath. She looked so beautiful and quiet that no one would ever believe that she was the one that always wanted to give the billionaire of the city a piece of her mind. He watched her as she slept and a lock of her hair fell over her face. He wanted to push it away himself. He didn't want to wake her. Every now and then, she would take a breath that was deeper than the rest and stir a bit in her sleep. Damian looked at her. It wasn't an expert that needed to tell him that if she kept sleeping like that, she was going to hurt her neck. Damian rolled his eyes. Did he really have to do this. His conscience fought internally with itself. Soon it was settled. He saved up his work and went over to her. He put one arm ar
ADDICTIVE LOVE CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE
Work was even busier for Damian the next day. His entire focus was on planning his business event that was to be held in three days. He was to make a speech and present their latest business idea. He wasn't really concerned about the speech but he was scared that it wasn't going to go the way he had planned it out, just like the way his meeting spiraled out of control. He needed to also buy something more festive and presentable. He needed to buy something that made him look amazing. He remembered that Lilian was yet to get something better for herself after she turned down his suggestion of the blue dress. What was wrong with the color blue? He also remembered that she said that she wasn't going to let him see the dress and he wasn't one to go back on his word. He had to...trust her.He dreaded that word–trust. This was business. He trusted no one. He relied on and only trusted himself. And he was definitely not going to trust an ex-thief. But she gave him her word that she wasn't g
ADDICTIVE LOVE CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR
Lilian was back in her room. She really needed to rest properly and also have a shower. As she bathed, she heard a soft knock on the door and soon it creaked open."Who is there?""It's I," came the familiar Italian accent. Antonio had breakfast upstairs for her."Antonio," said Lilian, in the bathroom, quite surprised. "You know you really didn't have to.""I think I did. Seemed you and Mr. Richards were very busy with work this morning."Lilian blushed hard. She didn't want to think about it."It was nothing, okay?""Miss Mendez...""Antonio, I don't like him okay? Sex is just something that we do. You get horny, you fuck, and that's it, life goes on. I don't want to make a big deal out of it you know."Antonio shook his head slightly. He was sad about how shallow she thought."Hurry up and eat okay."And with that, he left the room.Lilian soon finished up and found a steaming hot breakfast on her bedside table. The smell of the food had already filled the room. She would mind her
ADDICTIVE LOVE CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE
Lilian was dumbfounded. Did he just leave her hanging? She huffed in anger and tried to put her shirt back on but her legs were still a bit shaky. She sat up and steadied herself; her legs felt a bit numb. After a while, she regained full composure. She wore her dress that was long enough to cover her bottom and picked up her pantie from the floor. Damian had ripped it and it was useless now. She exhaled in suppressed anger and went to chuck her torn underwear in the bin. She walked upstairs to her. Something in her wanted to go to Damian's room, kick down his door and give him a piece of her mind. She decided to be reasonable and go to her room instead. She had to go wash herself and probably wash the feeling of Damian's lips over her breast. He had long left her for his room but she could still feel his light touches over her nipples. She headed for the shower and let the cool water run over her and bring her back to full reality. She needed to control herself, she needed to avoid h
ADDICTIVE LOVE CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX
Lilian left and headed to the counter and wasn't surprised to see Damian waiting there for her. He seemed as if he had been there for a while. She knew: he didn't look like the shopping type.He was waiting to pay for their purchases. He also hoped to catch a glimpse of Lilian's dress. His curiosity was already at its peak. He walked up to the counter a brought out his golden debit card. The kind dark lady was at the counter and Lilian stood at a distance watching the lady and hoping she would keep to her promise."How much is everything?""$ 1.3 million dollars Sir."He handed her the card and looked at her intensely but she was smart to avoid his gaze. As she was finishing up, Lilian stepped forward. The lady packed the shopping bags separately and handed Lilian hers first and then gave Damian his. As they turned to leave, she gave Lilian a knowing wink and Lilian returned the gesture. This however did not go unnoticed by Damian. He strode behind Lilian and they entered the car."W
ADDICTIVE LOVE CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN
Lilian shook her head vigorously. She was acting weird and she knew it. Did she just openly flirt with her arch-nemesis? It seemed like she did and it was horrible. What was wrong with her? She needed to focus. She was going to escape tonight so she had to make everything she did count. She only had one shot at this. She headed to the kitchen and saw Antonio cleaning up the plates. He smile at her and continued washing the dishes."Still going to go ahead with your plan Miss Mendez?"Lilian looked at Antonio with an exasperated look. She didn't want him to bring it up, especially not now. She said nothing."I guess I'll take that as a yes then," he said while he scrubbed a pot. "You know, you don't have to do this, right? I can see a growing spark between you two.""What growing spark? Come on Antonio, he doesn't care a dime about me. If he wants me, it's because he needs sex, and if I want him, it's because I need sex too. Okay?"Antonio exhaled deeply. She really was as thick-headed
ADDICTIVE LOVE CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT
They pulled up at the event venue. It was glamorous and dazzling. Damian got out of the car first and opened the door for Lilian to step out. Lilian was surprised. Did he just open the door for her? He took her hand and helped her out. He then pulled her close and whispered harshly in her ear."Don't get used to this treatment."Lilian thought as much. It was just for show. She knew that he could never be this courteous. She walked beside him and flashed a dazzling fake smile. They walked inside and they were greeted by a wave of people. Lilian almost got tired of saying the 'good evenings' and 'how are yous'. Damian had already stopped and was just giving polite nods. He was thoroughly not enjoying this. He just needed to get through to the end and that would be the end of it. Lilian was kept close by his side. Escaping now would be foolhardy. She needed to get him to loosen up. Adam was at a corner of the bar having a glass of champagne. The waiters came around and offered Lilian an
ADDICTIVE LOVE CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE
Damian was furious but he kept his anger in check as the party was almost over. He delivered an amazing presentation and everyone was awed by his new business idea. As the evening dragged on, the guests began to leave one by one. By 12 midnight, the hall was empty apart from the security personnel, the waiters who were cleaning up, Adam, and Damian."What do you mean by 'she escaped'?!" Damian was seething. His green eyes glowed bright and hot. He was furious."I'm sorry Sir. She came up behind me and knocked me out." Greg was in big trouble. He had woken up with a bruise on his head. The guard that was in charge of watching the restroom she used was also very shaky.Damian looked at his entire security team. He tried to calm himself down but he was boiling."You mean to tell me that all of you were conned by a woman?! You all are more pathetic and stupid than I thought! I want her back here this..."Damian's phone cut him short. He was not in the mood for calls. He answered it and a s
