I went through the day in a haze. There were so many questions I wanted, no need to ask Damian. Although, I knew that work was not the right place to broach the subject. I needed to see him.

‘Are you free tonight, we need to talk.’

In hindsight, the words we need to talk might have scared him. They seem to be the ‘go to’ pre-break up line. But I needed answers and there was no way I was going to get them while sat on my ass doing nothing about it.

‘Tonight isn’t great, but I will make it up to you.’

I sat stewing over it for most of the afternoon. I wasn’t sure what to respond and each time I picked up my phone, I came up blank.

Monday afternoon disappeared in the blink of an eye with the whole office buzzing with excitement over the Christmas party. Everyone was talking about it and all I wanted to do was ignore it and pretend it was not happening.

How was I going to be in a hotel room with the girls whilst also in a room with Damian. I was drowning in fear. The more I thought

  • Shadows & Whispers   Chapter 116 – Damian POV

    I watched as she ran out of the room. I turned with a darkened expression to the head of the HR. “Erin, keeps her job, this report goes no further.” I stated.“That is not something you have control over Damian. This report will be investigated and if it is found that you have been in a relationship with Miss. Williams then there will be consequences for both of you.”“There will not be. As Owner of Written Ink, this is a direct order. You will ignore the report my sister has given you and no further action will be taken on this matter.”She faltered in her step as the information sank in.“You will also not discuss this matter with anyone, nor the information I have just shared with you. My identity will be revealed at the party in a couple of days. Until then, this matter has been resolved. Do you understand me?”She simply nodded.“Oh, and I have just dismissed Prue from her position here. That is not to be contested by anyone but myself. Until I say otherwise, she no longer work

  • Shadows & Whispers   Chapter 115 – Damian POV

    I had to put things in place after the party for me to take my place back at the head of the company. That meant that I needed to find someone to replace me in the office. It also meant that I needed to be at the head office so that I could set a lot of wheels in motion. This meant a lot of time away from the office and Erin. I could tell she felt the distance again by her messages, but I needed to get this over with. I had no idea what Prue was like with her, but she was horrendous with me, and I needed to keep Prue’s focus on me, so Erin did not experience what I was seeing. My parents had really gotten into her head about my undercover role in the office and how much the company was failing without me at the helm running things. It was all lies of course; they just wanted me back in charge and to stop playing the fool, in their words. In part, I had to wonder if it was because they also wanted me away from Erin. The more false truths they fed Prue, the worse she became, and the

    He kissed me tenderly as he dropped me off. I couldn’t help but feel like in part it was a kiss goodbye. I messaged him goodnight and he responded, which made me happy.The next week was a strange feeling in the office. Damian was not there much. He seemed to always be in meetings or working from home. Rumors were rife in the office, and people assumed he was on the verge of being let go. Everything in me hoped that they were wrong, but he asked me to trust him and the truth would be revealed. Was that the truth he was referring to?We were a couple of days away from the Christmas party when I had a call from HR asking me to go through and see them. It sounded official and like something was wrong. I looked around to find Prue not at her desk, Damian had not entered the office that morning. Cleo saw me looking around the room.“Are you alright? Your pale white.” She stated.“HR wants to see me. It sounds official.”“Any idea what it’s about?”“I have a suspicion, but I really hope tha

  • Shadows & Whispers   Chapter 113 - Damian POV

    She was leaving when I reached gently for her hand. I stroked her knuckles. “I really am sorry.” She nodded and I knew it meant she didn’t forgive me but was grateful for the apology. She stepped out with her puffy face and red eyes and I knew I had caused that. I just hoped that no one was out there to see what I had done. And then there it was, Cleo’s voice. Always, Cleo. Part of me was glad she had come looking for her friend though. “Erin!” She called. The look on her face towards me was hatred. She could see how upset her friend was and regardless of what Erin told her; we all knew that it was my fault. “What the hell!? Why have you been crying?” I gave her a gentle touch on the lower back and exited while I could. I knew Erin was capable of handling Cleo without needing me there to pressure her excuses. I hated the fact that she had to lie to her best friend because of me. I headed back into the office and could see the looks I was getting from everyone, but I didn’t

  • Shadows & Whispers   Chapter 112 - Damian POV

    I could feel my heart ready to stop, and my chest was tightening still. She turned on her heels and exited the room with me one step behind. As we levelled up one of the meeting rooms, I grabbed her and dragged her in. I spun her and pushed her against the wall. I was being harsher than I intended but there was no way that was going to be the moment that I lost her. “Are you serious?” I growled again.She pushed me away. I never saw it coming as she screamed at me. Not only was she serious but she was physically pushing me away. I’ve lost her.I felt my heart breaking. I had to make it right. I cannot lose her yet.“Why would you ever think that I didn’t want you?” The dam burst and her words spilled hitting me like ice shards. By trying not to lose her all I had accomplished was to push her away and do exactly the thing I was fearful of happening."...what is the point in this anymore?”Her voice was raised, and I was worried that anyone walking past or hanging around the hal

  • Shadows & Whispers   Chapter 111 - Damian POV

    I wished I could Erin the whole truth. I wished there was a way I could tell her the truth and keep her in my life. I was almost certain that once she knew that I would lose her completely. Father was pushing me to end things with her and walk away before the truth was shown at the party. I knew that I needed to step up on that stage and introduce myself to everyone. I also knew how much of a shock it would be to everyone, but the worst thing was I had to do it in front of Erin. There was no way I could tell her first and risk her not being there, as that would raise more questions. Prue was at me at every turn. She had pushed us together but now that father had been in her ear, she had changed her mind and was now trying to split us up. I could see the tension between them in the office; it still confused me how oblivious Cleo was to everything sometimes. It was now an inevitability that I was going to break her heart; I just hoped that Cleo would be there to pick up the pieces a
