If I knew opening the door would put me in the state I was, then, I would have rather stayed with my children, letting the bell ring till he got tired and left.I was about to pick up the last chunk of meat on my plate when the electric doorbell rang. I wanted to go for it, mainly because I felt uneasy. But at that same time, Adriella had choked on her food. And because the dinging of the bell had not stopped, Lanie had to go check it. The restlessness that I felt did not stop, and Damon’s scent felt really close by. Immediately Lanie turned the doorknob, I sprouted from my seat running towards the door. “Don’t open it, Lanie,” I said to her, but it was already late. She had already opened the door, and standing in front of me was Damon. Hating his presence that was right in front of me, I cursed, attempting to bang the door at his face till he held it back. “Forgive me for interrupting, but I was so eager to see my children.”It was official, Damon had gone nuts. That was the o
DamonThey were arriving at noon, and right now it was fifteen minutes past eleven. The cleaners were almost done with setting the house up, and Marco was finalizing things with the house dealer. Everything was slowly falling into place, but the speed of the progress wasn't exactly satisfying.My eyes darted around the house trying to fish out any signs of imperfection. Adriel and Adriella were visiting today, and I had to make sure everything was perfect for them. Though my intentions had been to stay in a hotel for the entirety of my time here in Texas, I hoped to stay some longer time there as the hotel staffs were really welcoming. But circumstances changed, and I had to move into a house faster.There was no way I was going to receive my children in a hotel room, not only was it unprofessional, I considered it nothing less than bad parenting. For their sake I had one of my escorts, Tim, search for the best available penthouse. And when he did, I immediately made the purchase. All
Hayley.It was just a few hours into work yet the entirety of my body ached as if I have been working for weeks nonstop. Documents to be reviewed piled by my right side of the table, the few I reviewed, on my left and scattered on my table were ideas for designs of clothes we were supposed to present for Fashion week.Fashion week was the most important week for every fashion house. It was an opportunity for every fashion to showcase their best designs. The week determined how successful the business year was going to be and as my companies was yet to be largely recognized, I needed to give my best in the fashion week which meant that all I needed to do was work, work and work."Are you busy?" A light knock came on the door as footsteps drew closer to me. I groaned loudly. I didn't need to look up to know who it was. I knew the voice and I knew it only told one thing; work."I swear, Yvonne, I can't look at any more designs or documents. I am drained as it is, my brains are fried." I
DamonIt had been a week since I last saw Hayley and the kids, and life was not getting any better than it currently was. In fact, things seemed to be getting worse for me. For a full week now, I had done nothing but wrap myself up in misery and anguish. And seeing Hayley completely having a good time with Alex, was my breaking point. I did not want to hate him, but I was already beginning too. It pained me more when I had sent Hayley a text, telling her of how I hated that she was with Alex, and I only wanted her to myself, she gave no reply. She did not even look at it, and instead, went on laughing with Alex like I completely meant nothing. I wanted my children and Hayley too, and with Alex around, it seemed almost impossible.My mental health was hastily deteriorating, and it affected the company as I was taking longer time to approve plans. And the only reason why a query had not been raised at this time, was because Liam was helping me with majority of the things that I was
DamonMy last conversation with Alex kept me worried continuously. He had formed a much deeper bond with Hayley and the kids than I could even imagine. I never expected that Hayley would even act that welcoming to any other person. But there he was, telling me all about his feelings and how he deserved her and that he was going to make them be together. Telling me all that to my face! How dare he! Hayley is mine and I won’t let anybody snatch her away from me. I had to remove Alex from the picture one way or the other. But how? How was I going to learn more about the man? How was I going to make him lose interest in Hayley? That seemed impossible judging from our discussion, then how was I going to make him disappear from our lives? All without leaving any traces that lead back to me.These questions occupied my mind all day long, swimming from one end of my brain to the other endlessly. I was never a man that accepted defeats and I was not going to start now. He was messing with my
HayleyI checked my phone for the fifth time to make sure I had not misread the time, as I did for four previous times but the time was the same as it was. Alex was late.It was quite surprising because Alex was never the type to be late, he always kept to time especially after he promised not to be late. Something felt off, something felt weird I was sure of that. It was so not Alex to be late for anything.I was supposed to go along with him for the conference but why was he not here?I picked my phone from the counter and dialed his number but as it rang and no one answered the phone, I was certain that something wasn't right and I was clearly running out of patience. "Yvonne, you can go home when you're done, I'll be out for a while.""Yes ma'am." I packed up, leaving the office and walked towards my car but then again I didn't feel the need to actually use my car to find him. I walked towards the road and continued my walk down the path as I knew that he would follow this path. M
Hello dear readers,I am sorry for just disappearing into thin air without leaving a note in advance. But I am glad to let you know that I am back and ready to continue updates on this book. Last month, I had to complete another of my book (Rejected, then reclaimed by the Lycan King), you should check it out.

I appreciate your reviews and your votes. Please tell me where you need me to improve preferably as a comment under this note. And also, let me know you are enjoying the book. I am glad to go on this fantastic ride with you and I hope to write good stories that you will enjoy. Thank you! Much love and care!
HayleyI let out another sigh as I took out the chicken breast that I intended to use to prepare soup for Alex from the fridge. Why did Damon have to go as far as kidnapping Alex? Alex had not talked about it since all of the events happened the previous day, and I silently hoped that he had no idea that Damon was in the middle of his kidnap. Sure, if they were to go into a physical fight if Alex finds out, and goes after Damon in rage, Damon was definitely going to win the fight. And not just that he was going to win, Alex might not come back alive. He was human, as opposed to the beast that Damon was suddenly becoming to me, and I feared for Alex. I was wishing deep inside of me that for my sake, Damon would have no thoughts of doing anything evil to Alex, but it was hard to predict him anymore. The whistling from the kettle that I had left with water to boil, so I could prepare coffee for Alex before the soup took me out of my reverie, and at that instant, I rushed to turn of
