MasukChapter 28
Damien POVI stood at the door, my breathing ragged as I barely tried to contain my temper. The nerve on her, ordering me to leave the room. I bet she wouldn’t have told Martins to leave the room.After leaving my meeting and breaking some traffic laws to get here, she treats me like this? Ordering me to leave in the presence of the doctor? She could have swept the floor with me while she was at it! A stranger would even be treated with more dignity thanCHAPTER 41Selina POV.I forced myself to calm down and act natural as I scanned around. Deep breathes. Inhaling and exhaling several, I was able to get my ragged breathing under control. I started walking, through the glass of the shops and buildings I passed, I noticed the black sedan tailing me.My eyes darted around to see what options I had. The streets was fairly empty and there was hidden area to run into.I clutched my stomach with my hand. My baby.I’m going to do everything to keep your safe. Nothing’s going to happen to you if I can help it.What if the sedan wasn’t following me? I mean there are several people on the streets going in the same direction I was. There was only way to find out. It was usually a straight path when I headed home after work but today’s route was going to have some detour. I scanned ahead and there was a road that veered off to the left. I took it and walked down a bit, I heard the sedan turn too. I took another righ
Chapter 40Caleb POVI was in my office poring over documents scattered across my table. There was a slight frown on my face. How did that damned bugger do it? I hardly made it through a day but Damien sat through these things like it was nothing. I’d would hire him and make it worth his while if he wasn’t a Whitmore. What was the going rate for a Whitmore in today’s market by the way? I chuckled, more than you can afford mate.My alarm buzzed and I checked the notification. Email Nadia. I almost forgot about that. I opened my mail and typed: The dividend was supposed to come in yesterday but it was a no show. Call me.I leaned back in my seat and stared into the blank space as my mind traveled back to that evening.Months ago.I was at the bar celebrating a major deal alone when Nadia walked up to me. She was elegantly dressed, make up was light and she radiated a subtle vixen energy as she approached me. I initially thought she was an “A” class escort
Chapter 39SELINA POVI was seated in my cubicle working as the office cackled with life around me. The phones rang off their hook, colleagues on the phones trying to convince the wealthy to contribute to a cause they care nothing about and the occasional swearing at the ancient coffee maker. I had cleared a large pile of work but I still had a a mountain of work to go through. Nothing like an accident to leave you with a Everest-sque backlog of work to do. As bad as that sounded out, it was still the place I wanted to be. Damien and I hadn’t really talked since that article was published, I mean there was nothing to say, really. I had always known it had and would always continue to be Amora, now the rest of the world is catching and I had made my peace with it already Staring at the screen, I rubbed my eyes as I tried to remove the fatigue that was resting behind my pupils. A shadow darkened the entrance of my cubicle, I looked up and it was Priya’s assistan
CHAPTER 38Damien POV. I was seated in the office poring over some documents that needed handling days ago. The office was quiet and for the time in days I wasn’t distracted. The door open and Marcus came in with a tablet in his hand. I had come to loathe that tablet on his person anytime he walked into my office. What was it this time? He walked over to my desk and placed the tablet on the table. “ You might want to see this. There are reporters outside so I didn’t want you walking in blindly.”Staring at the screen, I frowned as I checked the content. There was a picture of Amora and I underneath a headline that said “Love Rekindled”. I read the column and it said, basically, my supposedly relationship with Amora had hit the rocks but was back stronger and better. And us being a couple again was an open-secret. The column stated it source had chosen to remain anonymous but hinted the source was well respected and highly placed in society to know about it. I glanced at Marcus a
CHAPTER 37AMORA POVI drove into the Whitmore Residence and noticed a different car in the driveway. Was that Mrs. Whitmore car? Seems like it. The staff went about their duties but I noticed the subtle stares they gave me before they turned their focus back to their work.I scanned for a place to park, I came down and glanced towards the northern end of the residence, there was a reserved parking space for one. The glimmer of steel told me it was occupied. Damien had been home and didn’t even bother to pick my calls all these while? What the hell was going on? I was making my way to the house when Rosalie came into view. Where did she come out from? I put on my best smile and greeted her. “Mrs. Whitmore! What a surprise to see you here! It’s been far too long.”Her remained like a hawk scanning a field for movement before it struck. My smile faltered a bit under her piercing stare but I regained my composure. She didn’t move out of the way to let me pas
Chapter 36Selina POV I was on the bed having a nap when a flurry of activities woke me up. Sitting up and rubbing my eyes to clear my fuzzy vision, I listened intently to ascertain what was going on downstairs. My forehead wrinkled as I concentrated harder, I couldn’t make sense of anything yet, then I heard footsteps on the stairs. Hmmm. That didn’t sound like Damien at all. The steps were heavy, slow and almost labored. Who could that be? My eyes shone with realization just as the door opened and Rosalie stepped in. Of course, who else would come to the house uninvited and walked around like she owned the place. She walked into the room and sat down besides me. The air became slightly charged almost immediately as she looked me over. Most of the times, I couldn’t tell what she was thinking, I tried guessing a few times before I completely gave up.Her eyes were kind as she stared at me, she reached for my hand and covered it with hers, tapping my hand assuredly. “My! My! My! S
