LOGINDamein I've been getting a suit fitted for my wedding, and it's hitting me like a ton of bricks. For the longest time I thought I'd never commit to anyone, but look at me now, getting a suit fitted for my wedding. "You look good man."I follow the voice to find Ethan standing by the door frame. "Where have you been? It feels like I haven't seen you in ages."He grins, folding his hand over his chest. "Here and there," he says, being vague as fuck. Ethan's expression turns serious and he steps closer to me. "Actually, I think you're quite smitten, Damien. You're really gone for this girl."I chuckle, feeling a warmth spread through my chest. "Yeah, I am."His eyes narrow. Ethan's voice took on a more serious tone. "Just don't forget what the goal is here, Damien."I laugh. "I think I've long forgotten about the goal, Ethan."I step closer to Ethan dropping my voice to a whisper. "Man, I wanted to talk to you about something. There's been some shady things happening in the company
Author's pov After Kayla's fitting, they all went to see a movie and ate some pizza afterwards. Chelsea got had gotten out of her Uber. Her eyes scanned the dimly street that led to her campus housing. It was quiet as always. As she approached her front door, a car's headlight flickered out, casting a shadowy figure in the darkness. Her heart racing, she quickened her pace. Chelsea's hand instinctively reached into her bag for the pepper spray and tazer that she kept for occasions like this. While going the, she was also searching for the keys to her apartment. All of these things seemed out of reach today. She was panicking and her heart was beating loudly. Just as Chelsea was about to give up, a deep voice rumbled through the darkness, "If this was a horror movie, you'd already be dead."Chelsea's breath caught in her throat as she exhaled deeply, her eyes narrowing at the figure emerging from the shadows. "What the fuck, mehn. What the fuck, you almost gave me a heart attack,
KaylaI can't believe my eyes as Damien pulls up in front of the exclusive designer salon, Maison de Rêve. I've been drooling over their designs in the catalogues, and now I'm actually here. My heart is racing as Damien steps out of the car and comes around to open the door for me."Damien, oh my God!" I shriek. I've been seeing this designer's work in the magazines, and I can't believe I'm actually here.Damien chuckles, his eyes crinkling at the corners as he takes in my awestruck expression. "I noticed you've been clinging to a certain wedding magazine," he says.I feel my face heat up as I realize I've been caught. "Oh my God, Damien," I squeal, throwing my arms around him. "What would I do without you?"He laughs, wrapping his arms around me, holding me tight. "Nothing."I pull back, looking up at him with a grin. "You're the best," I say, standing on tiptoe to kiss him.As we pull away, I ask, "Is that why you got the stylist to take my measurements?"Damien nods with amusement
Damien I'm sitting next to Kayla in the backseat our Mercedes Maybach watching the Chicago streets glide by through the tinted windows. The whole is on pause as if holding its breath as our convoy passes. This is the only way to do to. The whole country has to know that I'm marrying the love of my life. Kayla has a huge smile on her face as her eyes scan the streets. I can't tell what she's thinking right now but I know it's something good. Jenna, our wedding planner, is in the front passenger seat with her phone glued to her ear as she coordinates with the vendors. She came highly recommended to me by Ethan. Obviously they had something with one another. I think Ethan has slept with all his 'friends.' I would have found an excuse and hired someone else, but Jenna is a proffesional and has a great track record. She's planned the wedding's of the biggest figures in the country so I don't doubt her competence one bit. The woman has been dropping hints all morning that this weddi
Kayla I feel like my eyes and whole mind is betraying me. My legs feel like jelly but I still manage to move them, down the stairs from the stage and get to the front seats. Mum stands up from her chair and gives me a hug. It's her, it's really her. Tears prick the corner of my eyes are I turn back to stare at Damien who has this really proud look on his face. "How?" I ask, my voice breaking because I cannot comprehend the miracle that just took place. How is she here?"Your fiance has been taking good care of me Jelly bean."Jelly bean? It really is her. That was the name dad used to call me. When he left us, she took over. She told me never to let sweet things turn bitter, no matter the memory attached to them. I missed her so much. I hug my mum again. When I turn back, I see Chelsea standing in line for her own hug. "Do you like my surprise?" Damien asks. I can't even speak because I know my voice will betray me. I nod, vigorously. He pulls me into the tightens hug. After
KaylaI can't contain my excitement. Nothing and no one could have prepared me for this moment. Damien is a dream come true. I can't believe he acquired a whole company because of me. The level of trust he's putting in me is somewhat unnerving. I know I told him that I wanted to work, but this is, it's too much. Tears prick my eyes.This is the most care and attention to detail anyone has ever showed me. I know he doesn't say it often, or at all, but he loves me. The whole office is still bursting in applauds and I'm still trying to register what just happened. A whole department to myself, and Jasmine working under me. Life is good. When my head finally comes down from the cloud it's currently floating, I catch Jasmine's gaze and give her a polite, composed smile.I'm screaming on the inside. She looks like she wants to lodge a knife through my chest. I live for moments like this. “All right,” Damien’s voice cuts through the noise. He claps his hands once, causing the whole of
