Damien’s Pov
I landed in London in the evening. My father was getting married the next day, and it was important for me to attend the wedding. I was happy for my father, but I wasn't pleased with the woman he had chosen to be his wife.She had a questionable background and reputation, but my father loved her despite my concerns.My mother had died from a bullet wound when I was fifteen, along with my older brother. This had a profound impact on my father, who became reclusive, leaving me to run the family company from the age of eighteen.I was currently twenty-eight, and as soon as I arrived in London, my driver picked me up and took me to the club where my future stepmother was hosting her pre-wedding party.After congratulating her and my father, I went to get a drink. I was feeling very aroused, and my eyes fell on a beautiful woman next to me. I overheard her conversation with her friend, and I picked interest with her and I made an effort to talk to her.My love life had always been complicated, as I tended to pursue top actresses, models, or I*******m celebrities. The woman next to me was one of the most beautiful I had ever seen, and I knew she would be my conquest for the night.We hit it off quickly, sharing jokes and conversations. She mentioned that she was there for the after-party, and I assumed she was a friend of the bride. I couldn't tell if she recognized me, but it didn't matter. I took her to my office upstairs, and we had a passionate encounter.I savored every moment with her, knowing that I probably wouldn't see her again after that night. She orgasmed multiple times, and I also reached my peak several times.I wasn't worried about getting her pregnant because I knew I couldn't. I had been diagnosed with hypogonadism when I was young, which meant I couldn't father children. This led me into a period of depression, and I had lived a playboy lifestyle for a while. What was the point of keeping a woman if I couldn't have children? The only person who knew about my condition was my father.We had hoped that his new wife would be able to bear a child who could inherit the family company. Since I turned twenty-two, I have tried to impregnate women, even paying for procedures to implant my sperm in a woman's egg, but all my efforts have been unsuccessful.So it was now up to my father. He had to produce another heir, and I had to run the company until I retired or the heir was ready to take over.As soon as I came into her, I lost interest immediately. It was something that happened when I just fucked a woman. I seemed to lose complete interest in them and I threw them out. I did the same to her. Women were just my tools for sexual pleasure and nothing else.Once I was done with them, they lacked interest in my eyes and I always left them out. The rest of the night passed so fast, and it was the morning of my father’s wedding.I stood beside him as he beamed with joy. I had never seen him this happy since the incident, and I tried not to ruin it. I stood behind him as the best man, and the bride walked towards him. My eyes settled on the brunette behind the bride, and I held my breath. She looked so familiar, just like the girl from yesterday, but I wasn’t so sure it was her just yet.As soon as she stood beside me, we made contact, and she gasped, confirming that she was indeed my one-night stand from last night.The rest of the ceremony went by, and I ignored her. As we got to the reception, we were told to dance with each other, and wanting to keep a good relationship in the eyes of the public, she approached me.I took her hands in mine as I led her to the dance floor. The music took off as we danced.“You're just gonna ignore me, right?” she suddenly said, looking up at me.I smirked down at her. I didn’t know what she expected me to say. Last night did happen, and neither of us knew that we were to be siblings.“Oh, hey there. We had so much fun yesterday,” I said as I smirked at her. She gasped at me and glared at me.“You're just like they said, a jerk. How dare you make fun of this situation?” she said back at me, and I let out a laugh.“I would say you should behave yourself, miss. Everyone is watching,” I mumbled in her ear, making it seem like we were indeed getting along. She frowned and looked around us. Even our parents were holding hands and smiling at us.“It doesn’t matter. You used me,” she replied, and I rolled my eyes at her.“Oh, it seems like you used me. You must have known I was to be your stepbrother, and you took that opportunity to seduce me,” I replied to her as I smirked at her reaction.I knew what happened was a coincidence, and neither of us knew, but she was going to throw the blame on me. I would do the same.“You,” she said back at me as I took that opportunity to spin her around. Soon, other couples joined us on the dance floor.She kept glaring at me, and I found it amusing. She looked cute.“Keep a straight face,” I warned her.“Make me,” she challenged me, and I smirked down at her as I threw her back and brought my lips close to hers. Her eyes widened in surprise. Gasps were heard all around us as the cameras flicked faster than ever around us. I knew that this would be on the front page of the magazine tomorrow, and it wouldn’t come as a surprise.“See, simple,” I told her as she looked at me, shocked by my actions.“You're insane,” she replied, and I let out a laugh.“You have no idea,” I replied to her. Soon, the music came to an end. She angrily dragged her hands away from mine and walked out of the dance floor, leaving me standing right there. After all, couples were supposed to get off the dance floor together.I rolled my eyes as I stepped off the dance floor. I'm done here. As soon as I was about to walk out of the reception, my best friend tagged me and said, “Don’t tell me you got that chick wet on the dance floor,” he whispered at me as I reached out to grab a juice from a waiter.“You have no idea,” I replied to him as his eyes widened.“That’s your sister now, man.”“We already hit it off, so there is nothing to hide about,” I told him.From there, I took my time to explain the situation to him, and his eyes widened the more I let on.“Damn, you just couldn’t try to keep it in your pants, could you?” he said as he let out a laugh.“Tell me you don’t plan on hitting that again?” he asked.“I never plan on hitting that again. You know I never go back,” I replied, and we smirked.Ariana’s PovAs soon as I left the dance floor, I angrily returned home as it was already nightfall. Where my mother had stayed before all these, as soon as I stepped into the house I was fretted by packed boxes and missing furniture. My mother had given out then more all our belongings away.I sighed as I shed the dress, I was so exhausted and I couldn’t get a particular annoying face out of my head. I made my way to my room, as I had packed all my belongings and left only my bed. As soon as I got there I collapsed onto the bed.A sudden shake pulled me from my slumber and I woke to see that it was totally morning and my mother was standing before me her eyes filled with anger.Sitting up, I glanced at her to see she was fully dressed, which meant she had just arrived properly to scold me. “Good morning, Mum,” I greeted, but her frown indicated she was pissed off and I knew this wasn’t going to be a pleasant conversation"How dare you," she snapped, "How dare I what?" I shot back a
Ariana’s POVI stood there, shocked, as Damien smirked at me. I was speechless and it seemed I had been caught in that moment.I felt so embarrassed by everything at that moment. I didn’t know how to react. Gathering my strength, I intended to walk past him, ignoring his presence.However, he had other plans as he swiftly moved to the door, blocking my path with a smirk that only widened."What the hell do you want?" I questioned, looking up at him."Oh, you know, all you could do is ask," he laughed, his gaze fixed on me.Feigning ignorance, I looked at him, acting confused.“What do you mean?” I asked him, as I stared at him, pretending to be confused about the whole situation.He smiled at me as he began coming closer. I looked at his feet, wanting to avoid his face. I felt so embarrassed at the moment and I knew he wanted to see that on my face."Too bad," he said, and confusion crossed my face."Too bad I don't get to hit on it again after I'm done," he added with a smirk. My mout
Ariana’s POVThe ride was quiet and boring, except for the music blasting out of the speakers. I watched each scenery pass by as the car moved.Soon the car stopped by a large gate, and the car glided in through the gates after the driver had verified his card with security. The sight that greeted me was beautiful, with vibrant flowers and lush greenery stretching as far as my eyes could see.Soon the car rounded a fountain, and my eyes widened at the beauty of the villa in front of me. The villa stood tall and majestic, its white walls drawing more attention. Funny, I was half expecting the building to be black since Brian had "Black" in his name, but it seemed like I had guessed wrong.I couldn’t tell when the driver had left the car, but soon he opened the door for me with a smile while gesturing for me to step out. I stepped out of the car while keeping my gaze on the house, knowing that this was the kind of place I saw in movies.A friendly voice brought me out of my stare.“Oh, M
Ariana’s POVI could feel the morning light streaming through the curtains. I groggily opened my eyes with a tired yawn, stretching my hands out to the bedside table while my fingers fumbled with my phone to check the time. Soon the phone came on as I glanced at the screen, my heart skipped a beat. I squinted as I stared at the screen. It was 10:00 AM. Panic surged through me. I knew I didn’t know enough details about this job, but I knew I was very late.With a jolt, I shot out of bed, the covers tangling around my legs as I stumbled toward the bathroom. I didn’t waste time in the shower as I took a quick shower. How I had overslept is beyond me, and what would Damien think? He might take this as an excuse to not give me the job.The shower did a good job of wiping the remnants of sleep from my eyes. Soon, as I was dried enough, I put on my office wear, which was a black skirt and a purple top paired with some heels.Without glancing at the mirror, I rushed out of my room and nearly
Ariana’s POVI stood still as he glared at me, wondering why he had just called me insolent. As far as I knew, I did nothing wrong but brought the coffee he ordered.“Is something the matter?” I asked.“All I asked for was a simple coffee, but guess what? I couldn’t have that,” he snapped at me. It was shocking, as I wasn’t expecting the response. I felt like there was something behind his attitude and this had nothing to do with coffee.“I got what you wanted, you asked for no sugar,” I replied.“Well, guess what, I like my coffee without milk,” he responded, and I tried so hard not to roll my eyes. Just as I decided to give him a piece of my mind, I wasn’t going to stand here and watch him belittle me to nothing. I was interrupted when the door opened and a beautiful brunette walked in.She was stunning. She was six feet tall, and her height made her seem like a model. Her long, endless legs seemed to stretch as far as they could go. Then there was her gown, it was just below her wai
Ariana’s POVI stood at a loss for words, and without hesitation, I ran out of the office. As soon as I got into my office, I slammed the door and breathed hard. Damien wasn’t my first fling. I had been with different men before him and left them without even caring about them.But why does he seem to affect me so much when I see him? Something about Damien made me crave more of him. Memories of the little time we spent that night have been unforgettable. Seeing him with her put so much rage, jealousy, and envy inside me.I knew he was a douchebag and had mocked me since then, but I can’t get him out of my head. I knew I needed to move on from what we had. He was my stepbrother now, and there is no way we're going to end up together.The office got so suffocating. I don’t think I can stay any longer and see his face. It's not like I have a job anywhere else, so I left for the canteen.I ordered a sandwich and settled in my chair to eat. The rest of the customers were paired up in pairs
“Ariana’s POV”Soon everyone dived right into the food. I focused on eating my meal and didn’t meet anyone's gaze as I ate.“So, how was work today, kids?” Brian asked us as we ate.“Work was good, father,” Damien replied. I looked up just in time to see Brian looking at me and waiting for my response.“It was eventful,” I said, and I could feel Damien meet my gaze. I held his gaze. He gave me his signature smirk as he dived down to his food. I saw Britney looking at me with so much hate, but I didn’t return her gaze as I continued eating.“So, dear, tell me about yourself,” my mother decided to ask Britney.“Oh, I am so sorry for not making introductions. I am Britney, Damien's girl and the future rightful heiress to my parents' company,” Britney responded, and I rolled my eyes.“Showoff,” I mumbled, while keeping my eyes on my food. I knew she heard me as she turned and glared at me.“That's so wonderful, my dear. Have you guys decided a date for the wedding?” My mother asked, and I
Damien's POVI knew she wanted me, her body language said everything. When she arrived late for work that morning, I had let her get away with it. Normally, I fired anyone who came even a minute late to work. But when it came to her, I brushed it off. What happened between us was a coincidence, and I didn't want it to happen again. Ariana was an angel, and I was the devil. I couldn't strain her with my darkness.The coffee incident was out of frustration from losing a contract to Lucas, who was my greatest rival in the business world, and I took it out on her. Luckily, Britney came just in time for me to pour out all my frustration during sex.When Ariana walked through the door and caught us in the act, I smirked at her as she looked at me in horror while I continued rambling inside of Britney. Luckily, Britney had her eyes closed while enjoying the moment and didn't know that Ariana was in the room.Britney, on the other hand, was my girlfriend and more of a sexual partner. She wa
