Melissa had no idea what prompted their urges but about 30 minutes to the time for landing, Damien woke her up so they could dress up and return to their seated position. They discovered they were hard, and ended up having a quickie.The duo dressed up and they both returned to their seats. The plane landed in no time and they made their way over to Damien's car.He opened the door to the front passenger seat for her and ushered her in, then he went over to the driver seat while the crew loaded their bags into the car."You okay?" Dam asked, helping out with her seatbelt.Melissa nodded. "Just trying to reset my brain that I'm back home."Dam smiled, giving her hand a light squeeze. Nothing's changed. Well except for the location. You still have me and I still have you. I'm never letting go of you.""Yeah, just the location. I guess it felt saner being in the midst of people we don't know.""I know how you feel but I think it's not something you should worry about. We are always going
Damien was sitting on the chair behind his desk. He had his phone glued to his ear, listening to what one of his business partners was saying on the other end when the door to his office yanked open.His eyes met with the door and he came face to face with Rhoda, who instantly stormed in, towards his desk with a very angry look."I'll get back to you, Gabriel. I need to take care of something." Dam ended the call."What are you doing here and why did you barge in like that?""I'm your freaking Wife so give me the respect I demand. I can walk in and out of here anytime I like.""Why are you here?" Damien glared at her."Where the hell were you the whole week?""None of your business.""That's the word of a traitor!""I have no strength to exchange banters with you, Rhoda. Just take your leave.""I'm going nowhere until you tell me to my face why you never stop being a cheat."Damien folded his arms. "What do you describe as a cheat?""Don't you dare act like you don't know what I'm tal
"Come on, Open up!!!" Damien pressed the button to the elevator about three times but it wasn't coming forth. So he abandoned it and made his way towards the stairs, running down like he was a pro at it.He got to the lobby, panting, with his eyes flashing at every corner, trying to see if he could sight Melissa.Not seeing her in sight, Damien approached the reception area. "Did you see Melissa?"The receptionist, who was seated behind the desk, instantly rose to her feet at the sound of her Boss's voice."Yes, Sir. She just rushed out. She said she had an emergency.”Damien cursed under his breath. He rushed out of the office building, avoiding the looks the staff were giving him.He finally sighted Melissa getting into a taxi but by the time he got to her, the driver sped off."Oh Damien, What have you done?!" He sighed, bringing his hands to his forehead, and massaging his temple.The drive to Melissa's home was the longest ride she had ever been in. Her eyes were filled with tear
Emily stared at the stranger thinking of what to do. He looked and sounded so sincere that it was almost impossible to believe someone like him was capable of hurting his sister."I can't believe I almost believed you.""You think I'm lying?""What difference does it make even though you are telling the truth? You should know that anything based on a lie cannot last forever.""I didn't lie to Melissa. I just didn't say anything to her. The matter never came up for discussion.""So you purposely hid something so important? Do you know how crushed she is?""I don't know what to say to you that would make you understand me but I give you my word that I love Melissa and my intentions are genuine. I really want her to hear me out.""She doesn't want to see you so there's nothing I can do.""Please, Emily."She frowned at him. "How do you know my name?""Melissa mentioned you. I wasn't sure you were the one but talking to you made me realize you knew more about me so it just had to be you."
"If you're here to defend him, please take your leave," Melissa mumbled, the moment Emily entered her room. She was well cuddled on the bed so Emily approached her, taking a seat beside her."Like you gonna listen to me if I tell you to forgive him."Melissa rolled her eyes, hugging her pillow tighter. Her face was red, eyes blotchy and she was tired from crying."You shouldn't have let him in. Why if Ryan or anything relating to Ryan was in sight?""Of course, I knew nothing was pointing to Ryan. That's why I let him in.""Don't you feel better after hearing his side of the story?"Melissa closed her eyes for a second and sighed. "I hate that he's got answers to everything."He was scared he was going to lose you."Melissa shook her head. "I'm not going to be anyone's second wife or second option.""I don't think he sees you as a second option.""He has a wife, Emily. And why the hell were you eavesdropping?""I wasn't. I was in the kitchen and I could hear you all clearly.""Is ther
"Daddy," Rumi's cute voice came through. She was seated on her father's lap behind his desk."Yes, my love," Damien answered, his eyes not leaving the laptop before him."Why do you have a frown on you?"Damien turned his eyes away from the laptop, facing his daughter."Why do you ask that?""You've got a frown on your forehead. Are you sad?"Damien shook his head. "No, I'm not, baby.""I just got carried away with work. Why did you say so?""Because you refused to play with me. You've been staring at your laptop all through."Damien sighed. "I'm sorry." He leaned closer to Rumi and kissed her forehead. "Are you excited to go for your doctor's appointment?"Rumi shook her head, making her bangs fall over her eyes.A small smile crept to Damien's lips. He brought his hand to her face and tucked the strands of hair away from her eyes. "Why? But there would be no needles. Just a general check-up."Rumi frowned, folding her tiny arms. "Because you are not going to come with me.""I'm sorr
Melissa couldn’t stop smiling as she sat at the back of the taxi, looking outside the window, at nothing in particular, as she was engrossed with her beautiful thoughts. Today was Zion’s birthday and she was heading over to his place to surprise him. Mel had no idea why she felt so excited as though it was her birthday.After what felt like a forever journey, Melissa arrived at her destination. She paid the taxi man and got down with three gift bags. She made her way into Zion’s apartment building and took the elevator up to his floor.She brought out a key from her purse, unlocked the door, and helped herself in.Hardly had Mel taken five steps into Zion’s apartment when she heard noises. She stopped in her tracks, the smile on her face slowly fading away. It wasn’t just any noise but sounds of moans and grunts.Melissa unconsciously let go of all three gift bags, letting them fall to the floor. They were filled with gifts for her boyfriend. She had even ordered some food and cake wh
“Come on, don’t be a party pooper. I didn’t bring you all the way here to keep thinking about that asshole.” Emily said through the loud music, playing in the background.“Yeah, it’s easy for you to say. You never liked Zion so you’re probably laughing at me in your head.” Melissa said, taking sips of alcohol from her cup.Emily sighed, occupying the high stool close to where her younger sister was sitting.“Look babe, I understand how you feel. You just got betrayed by a guy you dated for years and your so-called best friend. Of course, no one in his or her right senses would feel happy about that. I know you feel like a fool right now and all sorts but I promise you that those two idiots deserve each other.”“I forced you to come to the club with us because there’s no point in being sad because of them. Those bitches aren't worth your tears or worry.”“That’s not the point. I just feel so stupid.”Emily smiled sadly. She stretched her hand towards Melissa’s revealed lap and gave it
