Chapter 116: Cold Hard TruthDAMONI stared at Annabelle in shock, unable to utter a single coherent word as she watched the scene between I and Sophia. Sophia who was smiling wickedly. Fuck it! There was no hiding this from Annabelle anymore. I could see the hurt in her soft beautiful eyes, trying to hold her tears in. How on earth would I fix this? "Annabelle..." I started in a gentle voice. "Listen to me." “Damon, who is this woman?" Annabelle's voice was a broken whisper. I squeezed my eyes painfully shut at the thought of hurting the love of my entire life. I knew now that I had to come out and confess the truth. I released a frustrated sigh, mentally preparing my self to hurt the mother of my unborn child. “There is something I should have told you all this while, Cupcake. will you please hear me out?” I turned to walk towards her when a sinister chuckle beside me stopped my movements. “Oh, you pathetic thing. So you're the one that's trying to come in between me and my ma
Chapter 115: The UltimatumDAMONThe moment we were alone, Sophia's mask dropped completely."Miss me?" she purred, standing and walking toward me with that hip-swaying walk that had once driven me crazy."What do you want, Sophia?""Straight to business. I always did love that about you." She traced a finger along my chest, and I stepped back like she'd burned me. "I want what should have been mine seven years ago. I want you.""That's not happening.""Oh, but it is." Her smile turned cruel. "You see, I've been very patient, Damon. Seven years of watching you send money but never visiting. Seven years of telling our son that Daddy was too busy to see him. But now... now you're ready to be a family man, aren't you? Just not with the mother of your first child.""You can't—""Can't I? I've been doing it for seven years, Damon. One phone call, and we're gone. Mexico, maybe. Or Thailand. Somewhere with no extradition treaties and very flexible documentation services."The threat hit its
Chapter 114: Seven Years of SecretsDAMONThe knock on my office door came at 6 AM, two hours before Annabel usually woke up. Carlo stood in the doorway, his face grim."Boss, we have a situation."I looked up from the wedding venue contracts I'd been reviewing - trying to plan the perfect wedding for my perfect fiancée. "What kind of situation?""The kind that involves a seven-year-old boy who looks exactly like you did at that age, sitting in our living room with a woman who claims you know her very well."My blood turned to ice. There was only one woman from my past who would be bold enough to show up at my house unannounced."Sophia."Carlo nodded grimly. "She's got the kid with her. Says his name is—""Tommy." The name fell from my lips like a curse. "His name is Tommy."I pushed back from my desk, my hands shaking as I stood. Seven years. Seven fucking years since I'd seen my son, and she chooses now to bring him back into my life. Right when everything was perfect. Right when I
Chapter 113: DandanaANNABELThe car stopped and I turned to stare at Damon, wondering where the hell we were and what we were doing here."I want you to meet someone and then we have somewhere to be where your mom and brother are waiting for you."He said and I nodded, as we walked out from the car, four men following after us as we walked into the large building.The building was beautiful I'd say but my mind was settled on one thing.We stood in front of a door and the door to the room opened, Damon held my hands and then he turned to face me."You are free to act however you want to act."He said and I gazed at him, wondering what he meant but my gaze didn't last long as we walked into the room.My heart froze upon seeing the woman standing in front of me."Christiana!"I called out sounding surprised, she stared at me then looked down, her eyes not meeting mine like she was scared."How. Why…Damon?"I turned to look at Damon and he raised his hands up in surrender."I will be leav
Chapter 112: Coming HomeDAMONThree hours later, it was over. Vincent was dead, obviously, after I had asked Carlo to take care of him. I could hear his screams echoing while we left, and I didn’t want to kill him myself because Annabel was there. His men? They were either dead or scattered, and the mansion was silent except for the sound of sirens in the distance.I found Annabel in the kitchen, being checked over by a paramedic that Carlo had called. She looked up when I walked in, and despite everything—the blood on my clothes, the exhaustion in my eyes—she smiled."Hey, stranger.""Hey yourself, Cupcake."I sat down beside her, careful not to touch her until I knew she was okay."How are you feeling?""Like I got hit by a truck. But I'm alive. We're alive."She placed her hand on her belly, and I felt something inside me finally settle."The baby?""Is fine. Strong heartbeat, the paramedic says."
Chapter 111: The Devil's ReckoningVINCENTThe sound of Damon's voice made my blood run cold. Impossible. He was supposed to be dead. Janet had assured me she'd killed him."Sir, he's in the building. What do you want us to do?"One of my men asked, panic clear in his voice."Kill him. Kill him now!"I screamed, but even as I said it, I knew it was too late. Damon Black was a force of nature when he was angry, and from the sound of his voice, he was beyond angry.I had come here to hide and hearing about my two brothers death was a good getaway to deal with whoever killed them.I wanted to use her for fun while I while away time and get these people away from my neck.But having Damon Black, in my radar, on my doorsteps, who was supposed to be dead, who this bitch lying down dead was meant to kill
