CHAPTER ONE

GERALD DAMON

I was standing in front of the mirror, staring at my well molded body. God sure took his time to create me.  Blue eyes, long nose, pink lips, breathtaking voice, well built muscles and abs, nice skin, white teeth

I am literally praising myself. I feel like a small god, a flirt and a player. I have some ladies I call on to satisfy my sexual desires. They knew I would not like them back or end up with them, they still threw themselves at me like the sluts they are.

I enjoy the life I live so much, and I won't stop ladies from warming my bed, and that's because I do not believe in love.

Heart breaks are real after all. After I decided to be faithful to one person, she broke me, so what else is there to love?

I believe they are all the same, they are only after my money and I am after their body, it's vice versa, after being broken once, I do not have to open my eyes and see them cheat me again.

I've decided to be a playboy from the good boy I once was. 

    I am the owner of Damon Corporation, age 22, you must be so thrilled.

I am a young billionaire with billionaire parents, though my parents visit me often to see how their lovely son is doing,and to show their love and support 

I have multiple shares in Stone Cooperation as well and wouldl soon be withdrawing, because the so called CEO won't do my deeds, I've been trying to get to her but she doesn't want me too, I'm punishing her for her crimes, I would make her beg for me, my parents are friends with hers which makes my blood boil. 

Enough with the presentation.

 I'm off to work.  

     As I opened the door, I bumped into my maid, she was carrying a tray of food while lost in thoughts, which she spilled on my clothes.

"Are you blind?"

 she went on her knees pleading.

"You are fired!"

I yelled at her in return for what she did and she gasped, I left her on her knees, as I went back to my room to change my outfit. 

  

DAMON CORPORATION

"In my office now!"

 I told my manager who followed closely behind me.

"Good morning boss" 

"morning"

"What is the current state of Stone Cooperation?"

" Gwendolyn has refused to adhere to your needs, However, she wants you two to settle things amicably, she pleads with you not to withdraw your shares from her company because if you do it would end up in shambles and they would go bankrupt.

 But Sir, is it necessary for you to withdraw your shares from the company?They are doing fine and are getting to the top. Gwen is devastated as we speak. I heard she even left the company to think, "Boss, please don't withdraw your shares from her company". 

"Do you two have secret meetings?"

" Why are you so bent on not withdrawing, do you know what she did?, don't even try to change my decision, I've made up my mind to withdraw my shares to teach her a lesson, you should support me and not try to pull me down, you are very lucky because you are one of my special persons, if not I'd have fired you!"

 "I'm sorry sir"

" Will you get out of my office!"

"Now!"

"yes sir", he said and left. 

GWENDOLYN STONE

Running my hands through my hair for the umpteenth time. I had become utterly confused, I needed to see my Dad.

I ran out of the office with my bag, called my driver to pick me up, and left for home. I knew I had not spent up to 3 hours in the office that morning, but I just had to leave and find the solution to my current problem.

I didn't want my Dad to get mad at me, because he is the real owner of the company and he would love to see the company grow in the hands of his first daughter. 

         On getting home, I saw 3 huge cars in the compound.

"What is the occasion?"

 I totally had no idea. I slowly opened the door and suddenly I became nervous, we had visitors.

To my greatest surprise, I saw Damon's parents!.

I wasn't expecting them, though I know my parents and Damon's parents are partners. 

Hi Mum, Hi Dad, I said pecking their cheeks while greeting the other visitors.

 "Gwen"

Dad called and turned to me pointing at the chair for me to sit, I was still startled, I didn't know where the conversation was heading. 

"Dad, is there a problem?"

My Dad only called me Gwen whenever he had something very important to discuss with me, which made me eager to find out what the discussion was about... 

"You will be getting married"

he said, jolting me out of my thoughts, "married?"I was still trying to process the whole thing he said.

 Me, get married, how funny. 

"Dad, are you joking or what? Why would I get married now? I'm not ready, I don't even have a fiance!?", I thundered back.

Mum kept staring at me like I was in some movie, assuring me to calm down and that all would be well. I needed to know what exactly Dad was thinking,and how on Earth I would get married without me knowing the person I would be getting married to. 

"Who would I be marrying Dad"?

 I asked amidst tears.

" It's Damon"

The name "Damon" brought me back from my thoughts.

"what!"

 "Damon, I can't marry Damon."

I looked at the faces of his parents, oh!, How stupid of me, this is the exact reason why they are here, why didn't I even notice? 

"Why do you want me to marry Damon?" 

I blurted out, of all people, he is a Monster!,

"Don't you dare call my son a Monster", his Mum said, her eyes filled with rage and mixed with Love. 

"Baby"

I realized at once that, that was my mum, her voice calmed me down a bit. I ran to her arms and asked.

"Mum, why should I marry Damon?, give me a good reason, and I'll marry him for both you and Dad's sake". 

"It's because of the company"

 Mum said, and my eyes thundered almost popping out of their sockets, 

I faced my Dad , "You knew all along", yes I do baby, I want the best for you and for the company. 

The only way is to merge without getting bankrupt, please sweetie, do this for me, do this for us, for your Mum and I, I know you don't like Damian, but he is not as bad as he seems, I feel the situation made him the way he is. 

"Gwen, you have to marry him",

 "Okay Dad, I will marry him, just for your sake and the sake of the company".

As  I saw that I saw a smile form around the lips of both parents, a glint of happiness, they were proud of my decision. 

But what about Damon?Would he agree to marry me?, I knew he always wanted me,but definitely not as a wife. 

I had lunch with them and they stayed till dinner time, they left immediately after dinner.

I went to my room thinking about how my life would be with Damon.

" Would he love me?"

"Would I love him?"

" Would I finally give my virginity to a man I hated so much?",  those thoughts kept on coming, as I drifted to sleep…
