View More~~Vanesaa~~ I know Damien asked me not to avoid him, but how could I not? He Is my past love who no longer knows who I am, I would only be hurting myself if I stuck around him. I didn't need a soothsayer to tell me that I still loved him as much as I did in the past; I only learned to live without him. And as I have said before, I planned to enjoy my stay in Paris, and that was what I was going to do, and how better to do that than to go drinking in a bar. I heard a bar a few minutes from the hotel. ‘Le verre enchante’ means the enchanted glass. Who wouldn't want to check it out?.I was dressed in a hoodie and sweatpants, the hood carefully placed over my head. My gaze cautiously swept across the place as I made my way out of the hotel; if the universe was on my side, I wouldn't run into Damien. “Vannesa,?” I heard Damien say. “Argh!” I yelled in shock as I turned to face him. I wanted to tell him that I wasn't Vanessa, but who was I kidding? He had already seen me. “Where are
Paris*~~Vannesa~~We arrived in Paris a few hours ago and settled in a hotel. The hotel, so big, had three restaurants with the best good anybody could think of and fortunately. Mr. Alexandro Louis had rented out one of the restaurants for privacy. “Thank you for accepting to partner with my company, Mr. Alexandra,” I said, extending my hand for a handshake.“You deserve it,” he said, accepting my handshake. “I like how you think, I believe we will work really well together”I pushed my chair back standing up from my seat. His brow raised. “Where are you going?”“Oh…we are done with the meeting, aren't we? I'm going back to my suite.”“You don't have to do that,” he said, standing up. “We can have dinner together.”“I'm really exhausted,” I said, declining his offer. “Maybe some other time then, please?”He nodded, “Of course, I will walk you back to your suite,” he said, stretching his hand out to me. I hesitated for a moment. It felt like he was making advances towards me and it
Damien jumped out of my car as soon as we stopped at the hospital, he panted, running as fast as his legs could carry him. And of course, I was right behind him.“Elizabeth!” He growled rushing into the room. “Elizabeth?!”I rushed him after him, my gaze sweeping across the room. “Where is she?!” He barked at the doctors.My gaze caught a figure in the bed, wrapped from head to toe with a sheet. My hand flung to my mouth as I gasped. That was Elizabeth.The doctor's expression was solemn. “I'm sorry Mr. Davenport, we tried everything we could but…we lost her”My heart skipped a bit at his words. Elizabeth is….dead? “What did you say?”Damien asked, his voice barely above a whisper. “I'm sorry, sir; She lost too much blood from her stab wound.”“Then give her blood! I will pay whatever you ask for, do you need my blood?” He stretched his hand towards the doctor. “Here” he breathed heavily. “Take mine!”The doctor gave him a pitiful look. “I'm sorry sir”Damien's knees buckled as he
I swallowed nervously, my fists clenched tight.“I misspoke,” I managed to let out, my voice barely above a whisper. “I was too excited, I misspoke,” I said, hoping to God that he would believe these words. His gaze was unwavering, cold in fact almost as if he could see through my lies.“She told you about Adam and you think you can trust him? He was a killer for hire once you know”I sighed, sinking back into my seat thankfully, he didn't ask any more questions about Elizabeth and me. “A killer hire that you managed to tame. I trust her judgment.”He pulled his phone out of his jacket and handed it to me. “Put your contact in here, I will text Adam's details to you”“Oh no, it's okay. You already gave me his contact a while ago, remember?” I said pushing the phone away. His brow furrowed, his head tilting to the side.“I did?”I froze. Fuck, I did it again. I suddenly burst into loud laughter. It wasn't real and it was obvious. “I was just pulling your legs,” I said, taking the p
“I'm sorry”Those were the only words I could say. “The woman you loved? She still loves you, she still looks at you the way she used to but you don't see it”His hands slipped away from me. He pressed his back against the wall beside me. His expression was downcast. He was scared. I could see it in his eyes. I Wish I could hug him and tell him everything was going to be okay. But was it? I wasn't Elizabeth anymore. We have lost each other. “I should go,” I said, turning to leave. Suddenly, my phone rang. I reached into my pocket pulling it out. It was an unknown number. “Hello?” I said, answering the call and pressing the phone against my ear. “Hello, Ms.Blackwood. This is the police, we called to let you know that Mr Raymond and Ms Paige have been put into custody. Would you like to meet Them?”My jaw clenched. “Yes”I hung up, turning to face Damien. “I will stay away from Elizabeth, from you,” I bowed my head. “I'm sorry for all the trouble I have caused.”With that, I turn
~~Vanessa~~I'm not going to lie; I missed my body, my luxurious brown hair that flowed down my back, and my hips that swayed gracefully with each step I took.Sigh.I missed it. I walked barefoot into the living area of my mansion. I had just had a shower, I was wrapped in a robe, and my hair was damp as I massaged it with a dry towel. I was used to being in the house alone. I guess Raymond had dismissed the house help since I wasn't going to be needing them. Suddenly, I heard a knock on the door, subtle, yet violent. “Who is it?” I asked as I walked towards the door. But there was no response. “Who is it?” I asked again as I pulled the door openMy eyes widened in shock as I beheld Damien standing before me, his gaze fierce. I swallowed hard. “Damien?”His hands shot out to me, grabbing my neck.I gasped in shock. “Damien!” I choked.With a swift move, he pinned me against the wall. “I don't hurt women, but if it's for the woman I love I'm ready to break you into a million pie
~~Damien~~I panicked, my heart racing with fear. “Elizabeth?!” I yelled knocking violently on Raymond's door. “Elizabeth?!”I reached for the doorknob and pulled it open. “Elizabeth!” I rushed in searching the house. As I rushed into the bedroom, my heart was sore a bit, my legs halting to a stop as my gaze caught her legs on the bathroom floor. “Elizabeth?” I muttered rushing towards her. My heart shattered as I saw the woman I love lying unconscious on the ground, filled with a pool of blood. “Elizabeth!” I yelled, wrapping her up in my arms. “Elizabeth, wake up please” My voice shook, “Elizabeth I beg if you…wake up, I cannot live without you”But she didn't move. She lay unconscious, unable to speak a word to me. Suddenly, the door flung open, and loud footsteps approached. It was the police I had called them a few minutes ago. I lifted Elizabeth in my arms, tears streaming down my face; I led her outside the room. “We searched the whole place; there is no sight of him, s
~~Vanessa~~ I couldn't believe it. It worked, I got him drunk. Raymond sat on a chair, his hand wrapped around my thighs. “Elizabeth” he gasped, his voice filled with longing. I pulled away from him, rushing to my bag; I pulled out the documents laying them out on the desk. “Raymond?” I turned to him. “Can you sign these please?” I asked, hoping he was too drunk to think straight. His brow furrowed, staggering to get up. “Sign what?”I quickly held him, supporting his body so that he wouldn't fall. “Just this paper, sigh here,” I said, handing him a pen. He gagged, shaking his head. “What is it about?” He asked leaning in to sign. I chuckled nervously. “Can you just sign it? I want you to rest,” I said, caressing his back. He nodded, writing his signature in all the right places. My heart filled with relief. I finally won? It felt too good to be true. But it was. My company, it was mine once more. Now all I needed was to get him to confess that he tried to kill me. He placed
~~Vanessa~~The next few hours will determine if I will spend the rest of my life with Damien as Elizabeth, or if Elizabeth will resurface, pulling me away into nothingness; I could feel her presence within me, strong. “Can I come in?” I heard Damian ask, Followed by a subtle knock on the door. I chuckled, “Damien this is your bedroom too you can come in”The door pulled open, and he stepped, his gaze narrowing across my back gown. It was a beautiful blue gown adorned with diamonds; the dress was fitted from the waist up, revealing my curvy features, and from the waist down, it flowed into a dramatic voluminous skirt. My hair, on the other hand, fell beautifully on my shoulders. “You look beautiful,” he muttered. I smiled, pulling my hair behind my ear. “Thank you. You look good in that tux, too,” I complimented.He pressed his hand against his chest. “I think I just fell in love all over again.”I chuckled. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. “Come in” Damien and I said
Well… I died. If I had been told a month ago that I would be killed by my fiance and his mistress I would laugh in the person's face. But here I was … drowning. My eyes slowly closed as the water filled my lungs. PRESENT DAYMy eyes sprang open with a loud gasp. Gasp? I was breathing. How? I was supposed to be dead. I was sure I drowned. Suddenly, the door flung open and two women in scrubs rushed in. They appeared to be nurses. The loud beeping sound of the monitor on my left must have attracted them. That was when I realized… I was in a hospital. Why would Raymond take me to a hospital after attempting to kill me?One of the nurses rushed to my side. Reaching into her pocket she pulled out a penlight and began to examine my pupils. “How are you feeling now, Ms Blackwood?” My brow furrowed. Ms Blackwood? That wasn’t my name. “I will inform her husband that she has awakened,” the other nurse said and rushed out. My eyes widened in fear.No… She was going to tell Raymond that I w...
