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. And with other things that I had to do, it was quite tough to write the two books at the same time. Thank you for your patience, thank you for reading my book. 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
DamonWhen Hayley ran to Alex, hugged him and even went ahead to kiss him, I felt like my world had collapsed. My heart pierced, and the sound from it was creeping. It made my legs feel weak and I almost w fell from watching them. It was so much to take in, knowing that she already hated me so much from kidnapping Alex. And now, disregarding my presence and that of Lanie’s,she ran to him and went ahead to kiss him. Thinking of it made my heart ache again and I was glad that just in time Adriella rushed to me with her hair scrunchie and had me pack her hair for her.“Okay, I will do it. Just the way you want,” I chuckled, when she kept on insisting that I wasn’t doing it right. I was trying all I could though. “Adriella, don’t be silly. I know what you are doing, and I hate it when you are this way.”“Shut your mouth!” Adriella queried immediately, and was about to throw a pillow at Adriella before I interfered. “What is going on with you people? Adriel, Adriella apologize now!”
HayleyDid he just call me “my angel?” Was this supposed to be a joke? Was Damien testing my patience? What was this sudden comfort he was feeling around me. “Damon, get away from me” I yelled as I tried to push him away from me.“Don’t be like this my love,” he said softly, bringing his lips closer to my ears. “You know how much you mean to me.”Oh! Now I was sure he was testing my patience. How much I mean to you? After you abandoned me for how many years? All of a sudden I mean so much to you? ‘Ha! I will show you how little you mean to me.’ I thought. But for some strange reason, my body was not obeying my mind. I wanted to push with all my strength and wiggle away from that space I occupied between him and the wall, but my body failed me. I was barely using any energy. And what was this feeling inside of me? Definitely not what I was thinking. Not after what he just did!I gave myself a hard mental slap that woke me up from my temporary delusion. “I said get away from me!” I baw
