*DAMON*I walked past Chloe's desk without sparing her a glance. She walked in after me immediately. "How was the meeting, sir?" I could see the gleam in her eyes. She was expecting a positive answer, which would mean that I would get married to her. I guessed her father had not called her yet."We won't be taking the offer." I replied to her, formally. She knew what that meant and her facial expression changed."What? Why? The offer wasn't good? I'll tell my dad to increase it. You can't--" I immediately cut her off."Don't cross the line, Miss Martin. I'm the CEO here. Please close the door after you." I said, dismissing her.She was lost of words and obviously annoyed as she made her way out. I did not care. A few minutes later, Myles barged into my office. I frowned immediately. "I never averted the 'knocking' rules." I said to him sternly and he went out, closed the door after him and then knocked."I don't want to see anyone." I said, disapproving his permission to come int
SARAH'S POVImmediately after Myles left, the whole atmosphere turned awkward for me. I was not sure of what to do next. The only plan in my head at the moment was to scurry into the bedroom. As I dragged my feet out of the living room, I heard him say, "Where do you think you are going?" I was dumbfounded. I did not have a reply 'cause what kind of question was that?We eventually made eye contact and I noticed that he was relaxed, way more than I was. "I don't get to eat dinner? I'm hungry." He sulked and I wondered if this was the man that looked fiercely angry earlier."Uh...sure. I..I prepared something." I stuttered and hurried to the kitchen area to dish out his meal. I placed it on the dining table and grabbed a bottle of water and a cup from the fridge. After it was set, I made an attempt to go to the room but he stopped me."I have to eat alone? Now, that's cruel." He whined again and I was really confused on what was going on."I've eaten, actually." I said, defending my
DAMON'S POV My desire for her was not ordinary. No other woman could make me feel the same way. I fell asleep after I had stroked her to sleep. And I was the first to wake up again. Waking up next to the woman I really loved was a great and divine blessing. The joy in seeing an angelic face the moment I open my eyes from sleep was on a different level. I had always said it and I will always say it, that Sarah is different. After staying in bed for a while, I got out and washed up, then went ahead to prepare breakfast.I sensed her presence as I prepared the meal. Before I could turn around, she hugged me from behind. "Babe, good morning." She mumbled tiredly and I smiled. "You should still be resting in bed." I said and she tool her hands off me to find a seat. "I don't want to." She stated firmly and there was silence for a while, then she spoke again. "Damon, let's get married." She proposed and I was shocked. Did I hear right? I suspended what I was doing and turned around to
SARAH'S POVI reluctantly dressed up in preparation for the group study. Left to me, I would stay back at home to study but since it was mandatory stuff, I had no choice.The location they picked was an unpopular coffee shop in the quieter part of the city. I guess they were really interested in studying.I made it to the location, after having a hard time finding it. Nobody cared anyway and they had already even started before I got there. There, I was trying to justify my lateness but they were not interested in listening. I felt insulted but I had to keep calm. Causing trouble was the least I wanted to do.We were all seated round a big wooden table, with cups of coffee for everyone. I was the only one who was ousted and nobody still cared. Anyways, I ordered it myself as I brought out my studying materials.They were all still reading textbooks but I did something different, since no one would carry me along. I brought out my Macbook and started it, waiting patiently to see the mo
DAMON'S POV "Sarah, let's get married tomorrow." I said to her and there was a sound of glass chattering. I looked in the direction the sound came from and I wa shocked to see Sarah's friend, Kylie.My gaze shifted to Sarah. "What is going on?" "Uhm..did you not get my text? Something came up so she will be staying the night." She replied.I thought it thoroughly and turned to Kylie."It's good you are here. Could you find a way to pick out and buy Sarah a wedding dress before tomorrow? And other accessories. I'll take care of the wedding rings.""Wait wait wait. What is going on here?" Kylie asked. I knew what I was saying sounded crazy but then I was serious about it. Sarah too was staring at me like she was looking like a ghost. I was going to get married to her and nothing would happen. "What is going on is that we are getting married tomorrow, okay? I need your help." I said to her before turning to my woman."We can do it, right?" I asked for confirmation and she nodded her
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
