Coralline's POVI drove back home looking dejected. I met Damon in the living room pacing around. It seemed like he was waiting for someone. When his eyes met mine, he sighed in relief and rushed towards me.'Where have you been? Why didn't you answer my phone calls? Do you know how worried I was??' He asked in one breath.I looked at his face and couldn't stop the tears that shed from my eyes.'What's wrong? What happened? Why are you crying? Did I do something wrong?' He asked staring at me cautiously.I hugged him tightly and said'No it isn't you. You didn't do anything wrong.''What happened then?' He asked again.'It's Sophie.' I said.'What about Sophie? Did you guys fight??' He asked concerned.'No. She's missing.' I said.'What do you mean missing?' He asked confused.I explained everything that happened to him and even showed him the voicemail.He stared at me in shock after he had listened to the voicemail.'What's wrong?' Do you know something?' I asked him.'No. I'll fin
Sophie's POVI snapped my eyes open when I heard the door creak open. Jake walked in smiling like a mad man. He was holding a plate of food on his hands. He placed the food on the nightstand and came towards ne while I shifted further into the bed.'Good morning baby' He said but I didn't reply.I just kept staring at him like he's gone crazy.'I'm sorry for what I did last night. If you had calmed down, you wouldn't have been hurt.' He explained but I still ignored him.What has gone into him?? What sort of game is he playing with me??'Say something baby. Anything.' He pleaded but l still ignored him.'Okay then. Suit yourself. But for now, you have to eat so our baby would be healthy.' He said placing the food on the bed.I stared at him in disgust.'I'll rather die than give birth to a bastard for you.' I said.His eyes darkened at my statement but he cooled down immediately.'Don't make me loose my composure this early morning. Just eat up' He said and tried to feed me but I thre
Damon's POVI woke up early and checked Coralline's side of the bed. As usual, she has woken up already. I chuckled inwardly. She's reallý a devoted wife.I went to the bathroom to take a ahower. When I was done, I wrapped a towel around my waist and started drying my hair with a shorter towel.Suddenly, I heard the door to the room creaked open. I left the bathroom thinking it was Coralline that entered the room.Instead, I was shocked to see Monica standing in the room. She was cladded in a revealing nightdress. What is she doing here??'Do you need something.' I asked her.'No. Uhm. Coralline asked me to call you down for breakfast.' She said.'Ok. I'm coming. You can go now.' I said.Instead of leaving, she just stood there and ogle at my body.'Hey. Aren't you leaving??' I asked her.She seemed startled at my voice and blushed profusely.'I'm sorry.' She said.I just eyed her suspiciously. What has gotten into her??'Can you leave now?? I need to dress' I said to her.'Ok. But D
Monica's POVI couldn't contain the embarrassment I felt so l rush towards my room and locked the door. What just happened?Why did he reject me like that?I walked towards my mirror and stood in front of it. I stared at my body. Am I not beautiful enough? Are my assets not enough for him?I was even putting on a lingerie, but he didn't even look at me twice.Shame wasn't enough to describe how I was feeling. I decided to stay in my room until Damon left because I was too embarrassed to see him.I waited in my room until I heard a knock on the door. I jumped in shock.Is it Damon??I was more shocked when I heard Coralline's voice.Did he tell her about what I did? If he did, I won't be able to stay in this house anymore. I really hope he didn't.'Are you okay Monica?' I heard Coralline's concerned voice and her persistent knocks on the door.I quickly changed out of my lingerie and wore a normal pijamas. I can't let Coralline see me like this.I summoned up courage and decided to ope
Damon's POVHe looked at me confused but then he chuckled.'What do you mean by he is still alive? We checked his body first. We even buried his body ourselves. How is he now miraculously alive? Damon are you that anxious?' He asked.I stared af him and sighed. I knew it would be very hard for him to believe.'Dad, the body we saw there was a duplicate. Jake is not dead. I'm sure of it.' I said.'Why do you say so?' He asked.I explained everything that happened yesterday to him, from the DNA test I conducted to the kidnapping of Sophie.'You mean Sophie was kidnapped?' He asked suddenly alarmed.'Yes. I think she found out about Jake that's why she was kidnapped.' I said.'This is bad. This is really bad. Does Coralline know about all these?' He asked.'No she doesn't. I didn't want to endanger her.' I said.'Good. It's better if she's left in the dark.' He said.'Yes. Dad, do you think Monica may be involved with her father?' I asked.'What do you mean?' He asked back.'Her father's
Sophie's POVI was still in the room when Jake suddenly rushed in. He looked angry and charged towards me. He grabbed me by my hair and dragged me towards the edge of the bed. I screaned in pain as his grip threatened to tear off my scalp.'Crazy bitch. So you had actually sent a voicemail to Coralline??' He asked angrily.Voicemail?? I suddenly remembered the voicemail I sent to her yesterday before I had that accident. So Coralline has listened to it? That is why he is this anxious.My pain stricken face suddenly morphed into a smirk. He seemed shock at my sudden change of expresssion and I smirked harder.'Good, they must be aware that you're alive. And now, you won't be able to do everything you want to do because they are unto you now.' I said laughing hysterically.'Shut up.' He said and his rough plan made a hard contact with my face.I felt the metallic taste of blood in my mouth but l didn't care.'You can hit me all you want but you know I'm telling the truth. The best thing
EVENINGDamon's POVAfter leaving Silas' home, I went to Victor's school to pick him up, after that I drove home.When we arrived, I met Monica at home. Why is she home now? I thought she would still be at the cafe by now.'Good evening Damon.' She said smiling but l ignored her.'Aunt Monica.' Victor said and went to embrace her.She bent to his level and picked him up.'How was school today?' She asked him.'It was fine. I drew a dog at school today. Do you want to see it?' He said.'Sure' She said enthusiastically.I stared at her angrily. What sort of game is she trying to play now?'Victor, go up to your room. I need to talk your aunt.' I said to Victor cutting off their chatters.'Okay Dad.' He said and left.'What do you think you are doing?' I asked her angrily.'I'm just playing with Victor.' She said feigning innocence.'Well I want you to stop it. Don't ever try to come close to me and my family. If you do, you will really regret it.' I warned.'Really?? If you are this de
Coralline's POVI came home really late. By then, Victor and Monica were already asleep. I went into my room and met Damon on the bed typing on his laptop.With one glance, one could easily tell that he was annoyed. He smiled when he saw me. He dropped the laptop on the bed and walked towards me.'How was work today?' He asked.'Tiresome. Thankfully, today's Friday. I've missed spending quality time with you.' I said.He smiled and said'Me too.'I stared at his face worriedly. One can easily tell he was angry because he was doing a bad job of hiding his anger. I wonder what made him this annoyed? Anyway, I should let his anger cool off a little first before I ask him anything.'Have you eaten?' I asked.'Yes. What about you?' He asked.'I have. I had dinner with my fellow colleagues.' I explained.He nodded his head in understanding.'I better go and shower. I reek of sweat.' I joked trying to make him smile genuinely and it worked.His grim face morphed into a breath taking smile.'
