The Unwanted Matrimonial Chapter 17: Rock
Layla's POVWhen Damon dropped me off home last night I locked myself in my room, and it seemed he returned to the gala alone. When he returned he brought back some company because there were sounds of a woman giggling and muffled kisses in the hallway all the way into Damon's room....another Scarlet.I made my way to the kitchen to make myself some cereal and Mary was giving me the pity-full eyes, but I covered my hurt off with a smile to reassure her that I was okay"Are you okay?", she asked worriedly as I nodded a little"Yeah, I got everything I need right here", I referred to the cereal I was eating, and her features softened as she rubbed my shoulders from behind."It's all going to be okay, this too shall pass", I nodded again at her words before dropping my eyes to the bowl in front of meMinutes later, Damon walked into the kitchen and I looked up, thinking it was Quinton but then my face dropped in disappointment when I saw it was him instead. We locked eyes for a few secon
The Unwanted Matrimonial Chapter 18: Departure
Layla's POVI got a call from my Dad, and he was worried that something had happened to me because I didn't call him yesterday .... I forgot.“You don't sound okay, what's going on?”, he asked for the second time, concern raining from his voice“I think I'm coming down with flue or something, but I should be fine”, I tried my best to keep my voice as cheerful as it could sound because if he sensed that I was crying, he would probably be on the first flight here to murder Damon. After persuading him that I was okay and there was nothing to worry about he finally hung up.“So...”, Quinton sat next to me, stretching his neck nervously. “I'm going back home later on tomorrow”“Already?”, I whined, and he laughed. “I thought you would stay a few more days”“Yeah I thought so too, but something came up back at home and I should attend to it”“What came up?”“Some property opened up, and I might have a spot to finally open my own studio”“Quinton!”, I screamed excitedly as I threw my arms ar
The Unwanted Matrimonial Chapter 19: In-Laws
Quinton's POVWe made it to my parents house safely. I didn't actually think that Layla would agree coming along with me, but the truth was she did deserve some time away from Damon, even if it was for a little while."Quinton Sir, you're back", our family chauffeur, Harry seemed pleased as he helped me with the bags into the house. Layla and I opted for a cab at the airport because I wanted our arrival to be a surprise."Yep, and it's good to be back""Ma'am will be glad, she missed you terribly", he continued, and I scoffed playfullyThat's my mother for you..."Alas lad, who is this young lady you're travelling with?", he asked referring to Layla while she was busy looking at our surroundings, she was probably in awe that our mansion was really huge"Where are my manners?", I chuckled, bringing Layla closer to me. "Harry, this is Layla, Damon's wife", I introduced them together and Layla was the first to extend her arm for a handshake and Harry gracefully took her hand in his"Layl

Layla's POV"Layla darling, please come on downstairs", Mom called whilst I was brushing my hair and immediately when I was done, I walked out of my room"Coming", I ran down the stairs to come across an earth shuttering view, a figure that made me want to throw myself off the balcony or be unconscious for yearsDamon .....was here"Look who decided to visit", Mom clapped her hands excitedlyHe and I looked at each other as if it's the first time we ever laid eyes on each other. Just when I thought I got away from him, he had to come and ruin my plans."Babe", he hugged me, taking me by surpriseBabe? Was he high on something?I tried pushing him off during the hug, but he tightened his grip around me"She doesn't know it's an arranged marriage. She actually thinks we're in love, so play along", he whispered against my ear before breaking away from the hug and planted a kiss on my cheek."I missed you", he smiled at me and I forced a smileI can't say the same about youI just stood t
The Unwanted Matrimonial Chapter 21: Twist
Damon's POVI slowly opened my eyes, and they landed on a sleeping Layla, she was facing me, and she looked so peaceful in her sleep. A few strands of her curly hair were in her face and I slowly reached for them and tucked them behind her ear, they were blocking my view.So much for the pillow wall because she was cuddling with the pillows, her leg crossing boundaries. I chuckled to myself as I thought of how she was against the idea of us sleeping on the same bed but look at her now.These pillows were taking too much of my space, so I took them one by one and threw them on the floor. Layla stirred in her sleep but returned to breathing normally.Thank GoodnessI reached out for my phone to check the time, and it read 02:39.DamnIf I usually got up at this time I usually took my laptop and worked but because I forgot my laptop at home, it wasn't much use.I was in too much of a hurry to get here that I forgot to take my work equipment. Besides my mother wouldn't let me work while I
The Unwanted Matrimonial Chapter 22: Unfortunate
Layla's POVWhen we entered the club, loud beat thrashing music was all that erupted in my ears, they were literally ringing from all this noise in here. I turned to see Quinton's lips moving, but I couldn't hear a thing, and he was just next to me."What?", I shouted near his ear. I felt like my mind was about to explode as the beats jammed into my ear drums."I said you want anything to drink?", he shouted back near my ear and I nodded. He held me by the hand and pushed our way through the crowd of glistening bodies, and we shortly made it to the bar."What can I get for you guys?", a barman smiled in our direction"A martini for the lady and a beer for me", Quinton paid for our drinks and I entwined our arms together as both our head plobbed up and down to the music coming from the center stageAfter our drinks accompanied by a couple of shots we decided to hit the dance floor and danced the whole night till I literally took my heels off. We had the night of our lives as I felt fre
The Unwanted Matrimonial Chapter 23: Tears
Layla's POV"You-(punch) Lowlife -(punch) Piece of shit-(punch punch punch) ", Damon punched my assaulter mercilessly when he fell onto the groundMatt made his way to the other man who had pinned Quinton onto the ground before he tried to run, but Matt got to him and punched him hard on his face and abdomen while Taylor dragged the unconscious Quinton off the scene.I was laying on the ground with my vision still a little blur, but I could see Damon beating my assaulter furiously and by the pace he was going he was surely going to kill the guy as blood was already splatting in every punchI gathered some strength to crawl to them and tried separating Damon off the man, but he kept on beating him. The man groaned in pain, but Damon didn't stop."Damon, you're going to kill himPlease stop", I begged, but he didn't seem to hear or pay attention to what I was saying to him"Damon stop please", I begged again, but he kept going"Damon, that's enough", Taylor ripped him off the man, and D
The Unwanted Matrimonial Chapter 24: Smile
Layla's POVI was still wrapped in the sheets in the morning, according to me it was a little early to get up. I couldn't sleep either, so I decided to stay in bed because a lot was on my mind.Damon walked out of the en-suite with only a white towel wrapped around his waist, water was still dripping from his body. His curly brown locks were still wet from the shower water, making him look twice as incredibly, deliciously handsome.I can't believe I just thought that....And you could see he was surprised to see me up already because he had a habit of showering early in the morning while I was still asleepI now see why ....“I didn't think you would be awake at this time”, he ran his hand in his water dripping hair, which made him look even sexier. This was the second time I saw him half naked across my innocent eyes, and he had an amazing body, to die forI'm so weak and stupidHis broad shoulders, his well-defined abs and even toned body. I was practically drooling over the sight o
