View MoreDamian knew it was going to be hard and painful to recollect everything that happened but there wasn't a pain as unbearable as not sharing a room with his cute wife for three months.It was better to explain everything to incur her anger and apologize, or gain her sympathy and be forgiven.Layla sat on the bed and he sat beside her but there was no bodily contact. Both couples looked ahead at their large beautiful wedding portrait opposite them when Damian began to tell his story.“ I have been friends with Kelvin and Justin since we were kids. We even went to the same school, and in our academic performance, I was always the first, Kelvin second, and Justin third. We were best of friends and everything was moving on well.However, this didn't sit well with Justin and he was envious. He tried his best to come close to me or even overthrow me in class but he couldn't. Not even his father’s wealth could be measured with mine.I seemed to be ahead of him in every way before I heard rumors
All the guests, friends, and colleagues waited patiently for Layla’s reaction.The well-decorated hall with all the food, drinks, and even music did not seem to make any sense or even look attractive to Layla anymore.She looked as if she was in a daze, the silence was interrupted by a roar of laughter.Layla felt as if she had just heard the dumbest thing and she couldn’t even stop laughing. The sweet sound of her laughter was hitting Damian like a hammer in the chest.He couldn’t guess what she was thinking at the moment.Layla looked Justin in the eyes and asked mockingly,“And what makes you think that I, Layla Wilson, will ever believe anything that comes out of your malicious mouth, Justin Smith?”Justin was stunned and his face dulled. Layla looked more confident and brave each time he saw her, sadly, she is and will never be his, and even though he forced himself to accept the painful truth, he still wanted to have her.Damian was saddened with the understanding that was sinki
Things were going on smoothly between Layla and Damian, and because of the pampering she was receiving from him, he didn't allow her to do anything to stress herself at all, he didn’t even allow her to get involved in the preparations for their graduation party since she was graduating the same time with Kendra.Things were fast approaching, she and Kendra reconciled and they were blending well, while Damian and Kelvin kept themselves busy with work at the office.Since Layla would be joining them soon as the account officer, Kelvin thought it wise to have everything in check before she resumed work fully. Even her boss Mr. Max was highly delighted when Damian told him Layla would be working with them soon. Throughout her internship training, she proved herself to be worthy of such a position.Things were happening fast and smoothly, there was no disturbance from Justin or anyone at all and everyone was excited. However, Damian did not forget his bet with Justin. Not for any reason i
Damian sat on the bed, pulling Layla to sit on his lap. They had undressed each other, feeling the warmth of their skin against each other.As he kissed the back of her ear, his hot breath sent shivers, her back pressed against his chest while he held her waist firmly, pressing her to himself.His hard cock was pressed against her soft butt but he decided to tease her a little,“And you seem ready, don't you think?”Layla shuddered from the sensation cruising through her body, grinding herself against his hardness. Her voice was heavy with desire for him to plunge inside her wet hole,“ if I didn't know you better, I would say you are wasting time” she moaned and said.Damian’s erection was becoming unbearable for him from the seduction from his wife, his breath hitched,“God knows I love you so much”He chukuled and began to suck the crook of her neck, brushing her hair to one side with his fingers while his other hand slid down the entrance of her walls, brushing it lightly and La
“ What is it that you want to hear?”Damian asked honestly, he was ready to do anything for her.Layla bit her lower lip and said thoughtfully, “I want you to promise me that you will never pull something like this again because I doubt if I will be able to take it.”She paused and continued, “Have you ever felt like your heart was been ripped out of your chest while you are still breathing? That's how I felt.”Damian was saddened, he had learned his lesson and was certain not to pull up something like this ever again. No matter what will ever happen. In the future, he will trust her through and through.“ I promise Sugar. I will never do something like this, ever again,” he assured her.Just immediately, there was a knock on the door and Damian went to get it. A maid walked in with a trolley filled with different varieties of food. There was also about four big bla of cotton candy on it. It was time to rekindle their love. “ wow, I love cotton candy,” she said out of excitement
“ Hello.” came a deep and husky voice from the other end of the call.Justin smiled wickedly upon hearing it and said,“ Marcel Big Daddy Saxe, I have a job for you.”Marcel Big Daddy Saxe is a scoundrel and also an ex-convict. He has successfully carried out different criminal acts such as kidnapping, drug smuggling, and even helping criminals escape from prison. He is always on the top list of wanted criminals in the city but luckily for him, he has some police officers at his beck and call who always dismiss his case. Big Daddy, ( as he’s fondly called) is more deadly than the devil himself.“ I want you to take care of someone for me, a lady. I want her kidnapped but not a single scratch should be found on her body.” Justin said, stating the reason why he had called him.“ Hmm, when do you want me to carry out this operation?” Big Daddy asked.“ That, I will communicate to you, I will also send you her picture and address. I trust you and know you won’t mess things up, leave no t
“ If you take a step closer to me I promise you that the next stone will find its way to your chest,” Layla warned, as she bent and picked up the third stone which was bigger than the first and second.Justin felt like he had been duped, she fooled him Into believing that she was waiting for him to come and get her,He was upset and yelled in anger,“ Stop all this nonsense this instant and let's talk.”Layla stiffened and asked calmly,“ What's the name of your car?”Justin was confused by her strange question but responded anyway,“ It's a Rolls Royce.”Layla wasn't a fan of cars so it was not surprising to him. Her next question got him more confused,“ Nice. So tell me, how much does it cost?”Justin sighed but answered anyway, “It cost half a million.”He had no idea where all these were going.The next moment, Layla said,“ You are rich.”“ Yes. The main reason why you should come with me.” Justin said with excitement. He took a bold step but she retreated, looking at his car ad
“ Justin,When Damian got married to me, he stated clearly that as our journey began…” she said and paused, remembering that Damian hadn't kept his word but she however tried to complete it.“ Damian made it clear that everything that happened before the car that took us to our hotel that night drove from the venue became the past,” she added and paused.Justin was confused, since he got to know her, he had never seen her like this and her words were making him uncomfortable. And what has Damian’s promises to her got to do with him?“ I don't get it, why are you telling me this?” He asked, hiding the irritation in his voice.Layla ignored the question and her eyes swiped to the well-arranged decorated stones, the smallest on top and the biggest beneath. “ Take a look at those stones over there,” she continued with a blank and innocent look. Justin was getting impatient, he didn't have time for these jokes, all he wanted was for her to get me to the car so both of them could leave.
“ My wife?What about her?” Damian asked, this time around he couldn't hide the fear and worry that was all over his face.He was also greatly disturbed. He knew that Justin was already on his way to his house and he was not comfortable with it.Everything in him wanted to pretend so badly that he didn't care and be indifferent toward her but his heart would not allow it.His appetite turned sour and he moved away from the bar, allowing the second maid that came in after Paula to pick up the tray with his leftover food to the kitchen.He pondered whether to tell her the truth about the papers or not, however, he made a mental note to do so after Justin had come and gone but for now, he had to check up on her to ensure that she didn't injure herself with whatever she intended to use the stones for.Reaching the door, he almost bumped into Layla, seeing her stressed-out face, his brow creased,“ Are you alright?” He asked, trying to hide affection from his tone but he failed.
