Chapter 12: Conscious & Sorry
-
It was around 11 PM when Amoy and Darius came home, both very tired. She lets out a sigh as she took off her heels, he could only imagine how tiring it is to walk around in heels every day.
"Amoy, Darius should I bring your dinner to your rooms?" Xavier inquired making them both jump in surprise as they didn't see when he walked up to them.
"Xavier stop doing that, oh my god." Amoy scolded him holding her chest this made Darius laugh slightly but he immediately stopped, feeling her burning gaze on him. "And yes, bring my dinner to my room." She moved to go up the stairs but another voice stopped her.
"Amoy, why don't you join me for dinner? You too Darius." They both turned to her father who walked out the kitchen with a bottle of wine in his hand.
"Dad, what are you doing here?" She asked raising her eyebrow as lost as Darius. The man shrugged acting as if she and Darius weren't the reason
- Chapter 28: Eat & Code - Darius's P.O.V When we got home Amoy immediately went upstairs while speaking to someone on the phone. “How long has she been like that?” Xavier asked as he entered the room. “The entire car ride over. Do you think the news will blow over?” He shrugged letting out a sigh. “I’m not sure. Maybe.” The uncertainty in his voice told me this would probably go on for weeks. “Did you make breakfast? She hasn’t eaten all day.” He shook his head. “I was just about to go out and meet a friend, but I can—” I stopped him as I offered him a smile.
- Chapter 27: Headline & Drained - Darius P.O.V I woke up the next day with arms around my body, I smiled down at Amoy who slept peacefully beside me. This was probably the first time I’ve seen her so relaxed besides last night. I reached for my phone to check the time. It was 7 AM, shocking me. Amoy was usually up before 5 or 6, I wondered how long she stayed out on the balcony. I slowly and quietly removed her hands off me, replacing my body with a pillow before going into the bathroom, taking a shower and brushing my teeth. I was in the bathroom for a good 15 minutes
- Chapter 26: Favour & Tip - Darius's P.O.V Dinner went on without a hitch, I was a little surprised Elizabeth hadn't tried to insult me or Amoy. Maybe the discovery of her most prized grandchild's company going bankrupt left her more flush than she was willing to admit. I silently watched as everyone gathered around the piano watching Olivia play a sweet melody. She was also another one of Amoy's competitors, I only knew so little of her, though her parents, Joseph and Kayla never stopped bragging about her fashion business. They said she dressed celebrities like Rihanna and Taylor. I had to admit though I barely spoke to her, she seemed down to earth and friendly, I mean in this family someone who didn't speak to you was as friendly as you could get. My eyes went to the rest of my wife's competition. Zavana stood next to O
- Chapter 25: Guess & Useless - Darius zipped his suitcase close, before bringing it downstairs where Amoy, William and Xavier were engaged in a conversation, but they all turned to him, hearing his footsteps and his suitcase against the stairs. “Good morning.” He greeted them tiredly, they all responded. Amoy’s eyes lingered on him for a second before returning her attention to her father. “That’s what this whole trip is about? Who told you this?” Amoy interrogated her father, he didn’t seem to mind as he spoke. “Shawn, the butler.” “So the men will be tested for 4 days?” He nodded, catching Darius’s attention, “What’s goin
- Chapter 24: No & Thoughts - Darius sat in his chair, still not knowing what to write; it was as if he had all the words but couldn’t put them into words. He had promised himself that today was the day he was gonna finally put his hands and mind to work and write something good that he could be proud of, even though it wouldn't be his best work, it would be something to remember. Closing his eyes thought of every possible line he could begin with, but they all just didn’t seem to be enough. He sighed, hearing a knock on his door, he expected to see Xavier, but instead, Amoy entered his room, with a tray with dinner on it. “This is the last thing I expected you’d be doing,” Darius stated as she placed the tray on his
- Chapter 23: Space & Daniel - It was the next day, Darius was growing nervous about what today had in store for him...what she had in store for him. After the kitchen incident, they had both parted ways but Amoy had never left his mind. She was like a hangover after a party. He had already showered and gotten dressed but he still needed to go down for breakfast the task seemed almost impossible as his mind made up a thousand scenarios, before he could think about it further his phone began to hang. Darius took it from the bedside table reading the I.D caller, 'Emerald' He hadn't heard from her in days, he was a little worried but he knew she was alright and the call confirmed it. “Emerald, how are you?” He asked sitting up, on his bed
