Damien

I had barely survived today.

I thought I deserved a medal or medical attention.

Possibly both, if care wasn’t taken.

I had somehow managed to walk out of Aurora’s office without humiliating myself completely.

My brain, unfortunately, wasn’t nearly as fortunate.

The image refused to leave my head.

Theo, the little boy with too much energy, too many questions, and a smile that could perhaps get away with murder.

Mom.

That word, in Theo’s voice, echoed endlessly inside my head.

Mom.

  • TOO LATE TO WANT ME BACK, MR CEO   CHAPTER 49

    DamienThe way Aurora stood up and walked out of the room said a lot of things. I didn’t need a soothsayer to tell me that Aurora was avoiding me.And to be candid, she had every right to do what she did.I thought I was over this, but no. Another situation had presented itself, and I had acted foolishly. Again.I mulled over Leila’s words last night so long that I couldn’t sleep.And in every sense of it, she was right.I may have an internal rule for not laying hand on ladies, but Genevieve definitely crossed a line.And she wasn’t just any lady. She was torture.She was trouble.She was damnation.And she was my father’s wife.My mother-in-law.She definitely crossed a line, and I could not do anything about it.I was foolish. Again.So, I resolved to come over to Aurora’s place today and plead with her. I was going to tell her how sorry I was and beg for her forgiveness.But now, she was leaving. She was leaving again. I set Theo on the space beside me on the couch and ran after

  • TOO LATE TO WANT ME BACK, MR CEO   CHAPTER 48

    AuroraI found a handkerchief forgotten in my dash. Pulling it quickly, I dabbed my face with it as Leon approached the car.I pushed the door open and got out, carrying my bag with me.“I thought someone was being pursued by a demon,” he croaked.I laughed despite myself. “And who would that be?”He hesitated. “I heard the noise from inside. I had to be sure I was safe.”I chuckled again. “I think you—” My words died in my mouth when I saw the expression on his face. I followed his gaze to the car’s hood, seeing its distance away from the garage shed. It was merely inches away.“Were you drunk?” His eyes slowly turned from the car to face me.I looked at the car, then at him, and shook my head.“You’re too meticulous,” he murmured. “Something is definitely wrong.”I shook my head vehemently. “I’m fine, Leon.”“No, you’re not.”“I am.”“No.”I sighed, letting the mask I’d prepared to lie to him fall off. He looked at me for a long moment.“I thought so,” he muttered. “Do you want to t

    DamienWhen Genevieve pulled away from me and glanced at Aurora, it dawned on me what she wanted to achieve.Aurora looked seconds away from breaking into different little pieces emotionally.Aurora staggered forward, and the guest made way for her. The pretty woman headed for the entrance and walked through it.From across the room, my eyes met Leila. She rubbed her forehead with what I assumed was a sigh.I glared at Genevieve. “What was that?” My voice was a cold, angry whisper.She smiled sweetly, making my insides burn with fury.“Our agreement, of course,” she said. “You were enjoying yourself too much, so I thought I should claim what is mine back.”Pulling away from her, I hurried to the entrance, calling for Aurora.She turned and looked at me, and I saw the raw pain in her eyes. Then she shook her head and hurried to the parking lot.I froze for a moment, then ran towards her.“I can explain,” I hurried down the stairs to catch up with her, but she was already in her car. He

    AuroraFor the first time since this night began, I was beginning to think that showing up here was a big mistake.I glanced at the entrance, then looked at Damien. He looked uncomfortable, but his face wasn’t convincing.“What's up about her?” I asked him again. He looked down, hesitating. “Aurora, we shouldn’t talk about it.”“Everyone, I want you to listen,” Genevieve’s voice boomed in the room. Warily, I approached the balcony exit, descending to the hall where everyone had gathered around Genevieve.She turned around, seeing me descending the stairs, and for a moment, I thought her smirk widened.No, I didn’t think. It actually happened, her eyes sparkling with mischief.“Listen, everyone,” Genevieve turned, backing me. “You all may have been invited here to celebrate life, but what you don’t know is that we are here to celebrate love, too.”I blinked, stopping just a tread away from the floor. What was she talking about?She continued speaking with a flourish.“I’m sure you al

    DamienI hadn’t taken Genevieve’s request to want me back seriously, until I saw how she glared at me across the dance floor.If eyes could kill, I would have dropped dead in Aurora’s arms.When I noticed, I fed the anger, engaging with Aurora more as the dance progessed.“You’re enjoying the dance way too much,” I said. “So much for someone who doesn’t do dance.”“You are making me enjoy it,” she frowned, but a smile betrayed it.“See,” I smirked. “I know that lie when I see it.”The music slowed and then dropped before switching.Aurora gave me a look, then pulled back. “I said one dance.“It wouldn’t hurt to have one more dance,” I frowned.She shook her head. “I’m going to get some fresh air. You know where to find me if you need me.”I frowned as she left.I watched her ascend the stairs and disappear through the entrance to the balcony.“Hey,” I heard a familiar voice and I turned. Leila was grinning at me.“Hey, “ I failed to stop a smile from breaking through my face.“You see

  • TOO LATE TO WANT ME BACK, MR CEO   CHAPTER 44

    AuroraIt was when I stepped down from the car that I realized that money had a smell.The entire venue glowed with thousands of lights, and all manner of luxury lights known to man lined the entrance.Nothing from all the experience I’d acquired around wealth for the last five years prepared me for what I saw today.Thousands of camera flashes met me as I stepped out of the car, from photographers and paparazzi that crowded the red carpet.“Ms. Harrington!”“Aurora, over here.”“Look this way!”Newsmen and paparazzi hurried towards me. For a moment, I got scared before I noticed men in black suits over a black shirt and ties that shimmered like fish scales in the evening light.I drew in a breath I didn’t realize I needed, rolling my eyes.I walked up the several stairs draped in red rug to the entrance. At the top of the stairs, Damien was waiting for me with a small smile and a glass of champagne, standing tall and looking way too confident.Looking way too pleased with himself.

    AuroraThe enforced, unnecessary leave Patrice had enforced on me had ended.As I pulled the car into the parking space of Ariadne Hunt Headquarters and got out, everything felt strange.I didn’t think it was because I was away for too long.Technically, I’d been involved in every aspect of the com

    DamienStanding in that hallway, I felt like a traitor. I felt like I had no right. Aurora’s questions were valid.I opened my mouth to answer, but no words came out. I glanced at my sneakers.“Trust me, Aurora, when I say I regret my mistakes,” I said. “ If I knew better…”“If you knew better?” Au

    Aurora (18 months later)When I opened my eyes, everything felt… wrong.The world felt slow and heavy like I had been asleep for too long. A dull headache throbbed behind my eyes as I blinked, trying to focus.The ceiling above me was unfamiliar, white and just too bright.Beep… beep… beep…The soun

    Aurora“From now on, she will be staying with us.”The words didn’t feel real. Damien was holding the hands of a woman lovingly as they both stared at me like I was the stranger in the house.She was decked in a breathtakingly sexy silk dress, its neckline daringly low and its back nearly nonexiste
