Chapter 9

“I should be offended by that, but genuinely I am not. If only you’ve always been this brave before, I would have managed you a little more,” Adrian said, all of the bitterness and anger he felt that she was waffling about town even after what he thought was her downfall made him almost lose his mind. “Shouldn’t you be ashamed of yourself?”

“Shedding tears for losing someone like you would even be more shameful. I am surprised you’re still able to afford places like this,” Serena shot back, finding her voice even though her insides were crumbling and her head was spinning.

“It doesn’t work that way silly, one irrelevant person doesn’t walk away and a business starts crumbling, it happens only in movies and we have established that is fiction.” He retorted and Serena wanted to faint from anger. “I thought you had a host you were leeching on. Did he leave you alone tonight?”

“I don’t suppose I did,” Damien interrupted, coming over and slipping his hands around her waist. Adri

  • MR. BILLIONAIRE, YOU’RE NOTHING WITHOUT ME.   Chapter 21

    The house felt so quiet, Serena sat up, sitting on the edge of her bed. It’d been a day since she turned down Damian. She has been contemplating, her brain, mind and heart in a serious conflict. She tried convincing herself she did nothing less of the right thing, but her heart didn’t listen. The memory lingered, the moments of laughter, the cooking, the kiss, how she felt butterflies each and every time their eyes met and finally, the proposal that he wants her to be his girlfriend. Her brain flashed it in her mind, the slight hurt in his eyes after she turned him down, and the way he tried to hide it. She really broke something that deserved better than being broken. Damien couldn’t say a word after he got rejected, not even when Serena informed him that she wants to leave, he just replied nodding, with a smile obviously not real. Maybe, maybe that was his own way of handling refusal.Her mind didn’t just major on Damien alone, there was the thought of her friend that she’d met, E

    The airport was buzzing, the place was extremely alive, people departing and people arriving, the wheels of luggage making noises as it moves through the tiled floor. Announcements echoed from a distance, indistinct chatters from all corners as people made way for their different destinations. He wore a smile as he came down from the plane. Marcus moved with joy and an exceptional walking pose, with Nelly by his side, his eight months girlfriend that they had travelled together. They spent two months in the New York, he felt more composed than he was; he’s always composed but he felt more of composure. He was still genuinely enjoying the breeze of his homeland when he saw Ken waiting, standing near the exit. Ken and Marcus both worked for Damien, Marcus was the closest to Damien, but since Marcus had been away, Ken took up most of his duties, he somewhat changed to the “Acting Damien”, if that’s a recognized title at all. Marcus had gone for a vacation, a thing to enjoy his leave a

    It was a meeting. Adrian Hales sat at the CEO’s seat, the very head of the table. One could see the beautiful view of the city through the glasses in the conference room. He felt tension to some extent, the conference had been called for a reason, a reason not quite positive. What he seemed to have in control and under his fingertips doesn’t seem to be like that anymore.The man sitting by his right-hand side raised his voice, sounding extremely defensive in his claim. “Whatever Mr. Adrian had in mind to have pulled a merger without the board’s approval is honestly so so, uncalled for, this company isn’t his personal empire,” he paused, turning to Adrian. “This is not your personal empire, each and every one of us has a say here.” Sounding quite unprofessional.Adrian felt as though he was facing a trial in court, as the man dropped his statement, another followed, another followed the ‘another’ that followed, none was however in his favor. He felt his heart beat faster, he however re

    She had been up since dawn, her mind remained restless. All night, Serena deeply wondered what Damien had in mind to show at his office. She tried to put her mind away from it, but the more she tried, the more her brain played obsession. She felt excited, but she couldn’t say precisely as there’s also a bit of unease in her, maybe excitement, maybe unease.She stood up to carry out her morning routines; shower, taking care of her hair, dressing up, then coffee. She looked in the mirror, she felt brighter, looked brighter. She was full of self-admiration, her face radiating, her chin looking sharp. She placed her hand below her chin, blowing her reflection a kiss.She looked outside, the day looked cool, the sun still coming up. Serena always loved watching the sun come up when she lived with her parents earlier, before she moved out with Adrian. She felt found, like a kid that strayed and came back, she almost started feeling regrets, but she convinced herself it’s not needed. She smi

    The car came to a stop in front of Serena’s house, the night was setting over the quiet street. The lights from the street lamp glowed in the darkness and Damien parked right below the glowing light, and the sound of the engine faded as Damien shifted the car into park.For the very first few minutes after Damien had packed, none of them moved. They both remained silent as they stared into the distant darkness. What had happened earlier is a part of them they both didn’t know exist. Serena turned, shifting her gaze to him, catching the faint view of Damien’s face in the low light, the one from the car TV. His hand, calmly resting on the car’s steering.“Thanks for giving me a ride,” she said, breaking the silence.“You deserve more; I am more than impressed with the way you handled things this night.” He took his hands off the steering, shifted his gaze towards Serena, making their eyes meet. She felt waves of emotions brushing through her body, butterflies in her stomach, all

    It didn’t sit well with Cassie, it’s as odd that Adrian wants to attend the Get-together. She knew a lot had to be carried out, she honestly was aware of that. But she felt that Adrian is going a bit far, farther than she went herself. Adrian’s voice snapped her out of the universe she was; The Thought Universe.“It’s tonight, get dressed. We are leaving in thirty minutes.” He snapped.“You really want me, to….all of a sudden,” She stammered, short of words, she decided not to continue whatever she had wanted to say. She dressed in silence afterwards, in her room. She stood before the mirror, a feeling of unfulfillment hooved all over her. She brushed her hair slowly as she stared deep into the mirror, watching her reflection. Behind the make-up, was a shadow of exhaustion.Cassandra had grown up in chaos; an irresponsible father, though rich, he seemed to only lavish his money on women and the most unnecessary thing. She watched her parents fight every day, one day, over cheating,
