SARAH'S POVEven though it was a rushed wedding, my joy knew no bounds when we were exchanging our vows. I could not believe I would spend the rest of my life with this man? It was a future I looked forward to. And when he slipped the shiny ring on my finger, my heart leapt. I could see the sincerity in him. The claim was that we are getting married so he could protect me, but in actual sense, the foundation of this marriage was love.It all happened too fast and our supposed honeymoon should be different. So I stood my ground firmly, refusing to go to the hotel. Though it was a luxurious place, I was not sure if it would be special. So I just wanted us to take our time. I had priorities too - my exams.After studying throughout the rest of the day, I finally stepped out of the study to join them in planning the night party we would be having. Damon had a grown throughout, he was sulking and he looked so cute.At some point, I summoned him into the room to have a brief talk with him.
*SARAH*We were on our way back to Kimberley Royal Palace around 2 AM. The drive was smoothly going well. It was not Damon behind the wheel this time around though, it was Myles. Then I was at the back seat with Kylie, the guys took the front seats.I was so exhausted and all my body just sought for was a bed. I needed to rest. Even my bones ached."I think we are being tailed." I heard Myles say and my sleepy eyes widened out."What?" Kylie and I exclaimed at the same time."They are probably random robbers. Those rats. You can handle them, right?" Damon asked of Myles and he nodded. All of a sudden, our car's speed increased, making screeching sounds.The other car followed suit also. "Hold on, I think I..." Kylie's voice trailed off and she watched the car that tailed us."What is it?" I urged her to speak."Those are my father's men. They are coming for me." She lamented."No no no, I don't want to go back to that house, Sarah. Not now." She cried and I pulled her closer to hug h
*DAMON*Chloe had reported in to be sick. And according to the email she sent to me, it was quite serious. Would it not be humane to go see how she was doing? I was reluctant at first, knowing fully well what had transpired between me and her father but even at that, she was my secretary.I had to bring in someone else as a substitute for her. I had so much to do on my desk and an assistant was needed, not wanted. I could not make coffee for myself while reviewing, signing, brainstorming and striving hard to keep things in place. I needed someone to organize and announce my schedule too.After the day's work, I decided to drop by at their family house before heading home. After all, I had no grudges on them or anything.I was almost at their residence when I received Astrid's call. "Come over to the house. Your wife is here." I arrived at her place with questions on how she got there, only to learn that she was almost abducted. "Who dared to do such?" I seethed. Soon, I was left
DAMON'S POVI was at the office, on a call with Charles. "Nolan is going berserk about his brother's issue. I think he is catching on to the fact that we don't have his brother." He reported. I dropped my pen and sighed. I saw it coming. The boy can't be kept under me forever. "Charles, try to put him together. He must not confirm the fact that we don't have his brother.""But he is dead, is he not?" Charles insisted."Nothing is sure for now. Keep Nolan with you, I will make sure to find him in a few days.""Alright sir--""What are you talking about...?" I heard a different voice ask, and I guessed it was Nolan. Finally caught! "I just asked a question! My brother is dead? You told me he was alive!" Nolan yelled over the phone."Calm down." I cooed but he was not taking it.Just then, Myles walked into my office. I was gesturing to him to hold on so I could sort out things with Nolan but he seemed impatient."I have found him." He uttered."Who?" I raised a brow, diverting most
*SARAH'S POVI was preparing for the academy when I heard the door bell ring. Damon was off to work so I wondered who it was. I had checked on the mini monitor but I saw an unfamiliar face.I walked down to the door and unlocked it, then opened it ajar. "Good morning, Milady." he greeted. I was surprised. A well-built, hefty and fine looking man was at my door early in the morning and even addressed me as 'Milady'."And who may you be?" I asked before anything else."I'm Robert, your new bodyguard." He introduced. And then I remembered Damon had actually discussed it with me before he left."Oh. I'm so sorry. Please come in." Then, I opened the door fully for him to come in. "Would you like to have some breakfast?" I proposed and he shook his head immediately."Okay...you can have your seat then." I said but he refused to comply."I would love to remain like this, Milady." He replied.Here we go again with this 'Milady' thing, it is not like I was a queen or anything. I did not a
DAMON'S POVIt was time for Takumi to return to his country. The whole inheritance and family issue had been solved. The Interpol had stopped looking for him also. I headed first to the villa where he was and it took hours to get there. We were supposed to have breakfast together for one last time.I got to the villa on time because I had set out so early. We discussed a few things over breakfast and he expressed his gratitude. He was always willing to fully invest in the Pinnacle World entertainment at Sichuan. I laughed inwardly when he mentioned it."Really?" I asked in Japanese and he confirmed it."Yes. And if there is anything you need my help with in the future, do not hesitate to let me know." He said as he took the last bite from his meal. I rounded up too, when I saw that he was done eating."A charter is heading over to pick you up and take you to the airport." I said to him and he smiled. "I really appreciate this, Mr Mackay."I smiled back at him. "It is my pleasure."T
*SARAH'S POVI found out Chloe was the one who reached out to the web master and gave them false information. So she painted herself as the victim and I was the antagonist.I carried out the investigation with Robert and Kylie and I swear, we could make a great team. "So what will you do about it?" Kylie asked and I sat back on the sofa."I don't know yet. I don't think I need to get back at her. I will just have the post taken down on blogs and that is all." I replied and she shook her head pitifully."You are way too calm. Taking down the posts won't solve it. What about your ruined reputation? I think it is best we involve Mr Damon in this or I personally will take it upon myself." She threatened."Okay. Maybe a little lesson would do. What can we do to her?" I asked for suggestions."I have many of them in my head. Should I print you a list?" Kylie said dramatically.Then I turned to Robert. "Say something." I urged but he only bowed his head as a gesture, telling me indirectly
*SARAH'S POVI was back at that place, Astrid's mansion. The house looked ancient now that I was seeing it in broad daylight but it still looked so grand.A lady came out and ushered me into the house then I watched Astrid walk down the stairs in black regalia.As soon as she got to me, she bowed her head and said her greeting. I did the same. "Uh..can you stop doing that? You can just call me by my name, Sarah." I said to her 'cause it made me so uncomfortable.She agreed and then smiled. "Have you eaten? Let's have breakfast together." We had a wonderful meal and she got to business over a cup of tea meant for easy digestion."I heard you wanted to see me." She started."Yes. I would like to look into my past life." I said to her. She did not expect that but I said it anyway."You want to look into your past life? Through hypnosis? Could I ask why?"I felt like she knew the answers already but I still answered her."A lot is going on with me. I feel like I don't know myself as I k
