~Nora pov~Is he ignorant or he just boldly told Sophie a vital information that could give her access to know more and maybe, just maybe have a leverage on Naomi. I've been trying so hard not to act weirdly around him because his presence literally sends shivers down my spine. It's very weird how I feel somehow around him, like I should hide myself and be safe. I'm sure it's the fact that I was in love with him and did some very bad things for his mom and now that so-called love can't even recognize me. I would sure keep my heart locked up tight, there is nothing as heartbreaking to know he couldn't recognize me even just for the sake that I worked in his house from childhood. No inclining or anything!! Or would I say that it's okay I looked only familiar?! Nothing can truly replace this hurt in my heart and I shouldn't blame jothan right? I can just take the easy road and blame Mrs stone, she's the one behind all this and jothan should possibly know nothing and is innoce
“You finally agreed to come out with me for dinner?”, He muttered putting on his best smile. I missed you, missed your feel against my skin, it felt like you were slowly drifting away these past weeks”, he murmured bitterly. “You know I wasn't purposely avoiding you, I needed a little space and we definitely shouldn't be too close at work”, I explained feeling a lot better and less worried after I didn't get any reply or messages for the past two weeks now. “I thought I asked you not to worry about that, I call the shots so you never have to be worried.”, He said convincingly, staring directly at my eyes. “And what happens when you don't get to call the shots anymore”, I asked, staring back at him hoping to see if he had any secret fear of that happening. It would be better if he could have such fear and be on the lookout for himself. “if I don't get to call the shots anymore then I'll still be very glad and happy to just have you by my side.”, He said with so much sincer
“Damon I can explain”, I shivered as I could finally open my mouth to say something. “What do you mean you can explain?”he asked, putting on an indifferent look on his face. “I mean.. you know.. I didn’t mean to”, i stammered completely scared and ashamed of myself. “Why do you look scared baby, be calm”, he uttered moving closer to me. “Uhn?” I asked in confusion. “It’s fine baby girl, I don’t want you to be scared around me and it’s completely normal if you wanted to do a research”, he said, caressing my cheeks. “Uhn?!”, I asked, completely lost and still confused. “Didn’t I just get caught ?!”I murmured to myself “Let’s call it even, I have your info and you equally have mine.”, he murmured calmly with a soft smile. “What?!”, I asked, still completely confused. “I said it’s okay baby, it’s even now I guess but I don’t want you using whatever you got there to judge me”, he said putting on a pity face. “OKay I guess”, I stammered as my heart continued to be
Seeing his face the memory rushes in like a flash, reminding me of last night. “Now I’m definitely sure that jothan is up to no good,” Nora said to herself hearing her doubts clearly. Well there isn’t much to say or prove to anyone but I’m very sure he’s up to no good. “But wait… it’s his dad company so maybe he was sent to pick up something for him or for Damon himself?,” I questioned myself trying to think things through and place my suspicions rightly. I just can’t get this feeling out of me, it’s like oil rolling of my back. Maybe after all I should really be careful around him and I’ll love to let it go but no! I’m going to find out to what extent he will go if he’s truly up to something. “I’m no longer a puppy in love, following after a boy like a lost cause,” I confirmed to myself. It’s high time I do something meaningful and help find out and maybe it’ll help me clear out the guilt I feel towards Damon. I have to help out anyway I can… “
“You have to do as I say Naomi, You have to seduce him and I don’t care how you do it but make sure it’s done” Mrs Stone uttered. “Ma’am I can’t do that and why do you want me to seduce your own son?” I muttered as I stared at her with confusion written all over my face. “He is not my son, he’s my stepson and I need you to seduce him so we can make up a scandal about him. My son should be the only one to inherit his father’s property and the one to lead his company, Not that bastard’s son” Mrs Stone replied with a stern look of hatred on her face. “But ma’am this has nothing to do with me, you can tell your stepson that your son should be the one leading the company, why do I have to seduce him to make up a scandal?” I still couldn’t understand what was going on. “And who gave you the right to question me? If it wasn’t for me, you and your mother would have been on the streets begging for your lives because of your good for nothing father”, Mrs stone barked angrily which made Nao
“Naomi, come to my study now, we need to talk,” Mrs Stone said coldly through the phone. “Ok ma’am” , I replied after failing to sleep and crying all through the night. “I know you’ve not met my son or my step son before and it’s no secret that I’m not the legal wife of Mr Robert” Mrs stone said without any expressions on her face “I was pushed to this small town in California and I left my son to stay with his father so he could be a Robert and make his way to the top” “I was able to seduce Mr Robert when his wife was pregnant and I also got pregnant and our children are just four months apart” Mrs stone finally said, smirking slyly and looking really proud of her actions. “Ma’am, since you succeeded in making your child a Robert , why do you still want to create a scandal?” I asked in confusion “My son is not the CEO and his father didn’t even give him a spot in his company, he always treated my jothan like a mistake he wished he never made and loved that bastard
'I would really love to be alone today,' Damon soliloquizes while pondering, on how he had completely forgotten about his mom’s memorial yesterday, feeling very upset and beating him self up about his actions.'And I also blame the lady that bumped into me at the lobby…,I think she did that on purpose,' Damon's intrusive thoughts randomly wandered, in an attempt to make up excuses for his actions, or lack there of…'I still think she did that on purpose' he mumbled as he shook his head, as if trying to shake off his errors from the previous day.Besides forgetting his mom's memorial and bumping into the obnoxiously oblivious lady at the elevator, he also completely forgot about dinner with his Dad and stepbrother, which has been their family ritual for as long as he could remember, and that right there, was the icing on the cake that made up his dishevelled Sunday.He lets out an exhausting sigh'I really don't understand why he still makes us have dinner at his house every sunday,' D
Okay, I’ll seduce this ass-hat and eventually use this scandal to my benefit,’ I resolved, more determined than ever to teach this pretty boy Damon a lesson…Or wait! Better still.... I’ll make him fall in love with me, and make him want me on his own accord and then Mrs stone gets her scandal and I’ll leave him with nothing, heart broken at my mercy.’ I pondered as I slowly paced back and forth the large working space in my office.I was flared up nowNo one gets to make me feel less or insignificant,’ now enraged ‘I don’t get why he felt the need to embarrass me like that,’ still puzzled and trying to make it all make sense.I was just simply looking at him…, well I admired him a bit, but he was obviously looking at me too, come on…he was the only person in the room of course I’m gonna look at him, jeez’ the hellI really don’t care anymore, screw this…I’m gonna do it anyway, I have nothing to loose…,Besides, I have to get married to a rich man to be able to afford the comfortable
