DAMIEN

I grabbed my phone from my bedside and dialed Sophia’s number. She picked on the second ring but sounded drowsy. She must have fallen asleep once she got home and I started to feel my anger dissipate at that thought.

Sophia was slowly becoming a weak point for me and I was just realising it.

Was this how she got into Aiden’s head too and won his heart?

“Hey Damien. Is anything wrong? You called” she said sleepily and I shook my head even though she couldn’t see me.

“Just thought of checking up on you, but I didn’t realize you’d be asleep by now. You must be so tired, huh?” I asked her and for a moment, she was quiet.

“Yeah, yeah. I never knew that hosting an event would be this tiring but thankfully, it paid off. We got a lot of donations and it’s going to go a long way for us” she said.

Her sleepy voice was slightly filled with excitement while she spoke about the foundation and I smiled to myself… she really loved that foundation and the people she helped.

  • The comeback of the billionaire heiress    Take off your clothes

    SOPHIAI took off my shoes immediately we walked into the living room. Then I picked them up and turned around to face Aiden who was right behind me. “Goodnight, boyfriend. Dream of me” I winked at him teasingly while walking toward the stairs with my back facing it.“No” he replied and that made me frown in confusion. “Uh, why?” I asked him but he only grinned at me while pulling his hands out of his pockets. “Why would I have to dream about when I've got you here with me… girlfriend?” He answered and I could feel my face getting hot the longer he stared.Layers of depths were held behind his soft and loving gaze and I couldn't bring myself to look away from his hypnotic eyes. I was stuck and I didn't want anything else. “Why do you keep staring?” I asked him.“Because I can't take my eyes off my girlfriend” he replied cheekily and that made me grow a smile I couldn't hold back.“Stop saying it repeatedly. You're going to make me sick of that word” I told him but he shook his hea

  • The comeback of the billionaire heiress    Of course Aiden

    SOPHIA“Look at me, Sophia” Aiden's calm voice slowly pushed the rage I felt away and I stole a glance at him before looking away.“I lost my temper, Aiden. How can you even look at me after seeing that?” I asked him while calming my face in embarrassment. He chuckled in amusement before taking my hands. Then he pulled them away from my face and I was forced to look at him. He was smiling so widely I wondered what was so funny.“Why do you look so amused?” I asked him and he shrugged.“That was the first time I ever saw you getting that angry. It was…” “Embarrassing, right?” I asked him but he shook his head.“It was new… and sort of exciting” he whispered the last part before he gently bumped his nose against mine and to say I was surprised would be an understatement.“Exciting? You're just saying that to make me feel better right?” I asked him in doubt but he shook his head. “Not at all, Sophia. I meant what I said… seeing you lose your temper was kinda hot” he told me and I grin

  • The comeback of the billionaire heiress    Don't call the police

    SOPHIA“Please don't call the police. I'll tell you everything you want to know” Martha panicked while my heart raced with fear.What if Aiden hadn't confronted her? What would she have done to me? Was the drink she brought for me even safe? What if it was poisoned?A million and one questions flooded my head as I stared at her in horror and I couldn't believe I was so gullible to fall for a fake friendship scheme from someone else again after Beth. “Who hired you?” Aiden asked Martha who hadn't said a word yet and she swallowed heavily while looking at me and then back to him.“Speak before I lose my temper!” Aiden snapped through gritted teeth as he tried to not cause a scene and she began to wring her fingers while keeping her head bowed. Obviously in shame.“It was Elena Hale, your sister. She hired me to knock you out with sleeping pills because she plans to have you taken away tonight” She finally told the truth and all the noise around me suddenly went mute.Silence surrounde

  • The comeback of the billionaire heiress    Who hired you?

    AIDEN“Hello, Damien. You seem to be in a good mood tonight” I mocked as I joined him on the balcony where he stood.He glared at me while taking a sip from his glass of wine. Then he looked away.“Go away, Aiden. I'm not in the mood to speak to you tonight” he snapped and I chuckled in amusement as I walked closer to him.“Do you think you should be saying that to me after the fucking stunt you pulled on Sophia?” I asked him and he smiled as he faced me.“You should have expected that, Aiden. You're the business man so you should know how we do these things” he replied with so much confidence that it pissed me off.Angrily, I got so close to him to punch him in the face and it took me a great deal of self restraint to hold back once I realized where we were.“Watch your word or I'll…”“Hit me? I've got a bodyguard in the corner, Aiden and he'll hit you so hard if you touch me. Trust me, it'll hurt” he boasted before taking another sip from his wine.I flexed my hands angrily while I

  • The comeback of the billionaire heiress    I've got to take a call

    AIDEN“When you meet Elena tonight, are you going to confront her about the pictures?” I asked Sophia while I helped her zip up her dress and she shook her head while she fixed her hair.“No. I won't give her the satisfaction of showing I'm affected by her tricks. I'd rather act like she doesn't exist then give her attention she doesn't deserve” she said while looking in the mirror and I smiled to myself. “Good” I kissed her on the back where her dress left exposed and she giggled in reaction.“That tickles” she cooed, making me grin to myself as I turned her around to face me.“Are you ready for tonight? It'll be our first time going to an event as a couple and people will have questions”“Damien will also be writhing in rage in some corner while we're having fun… so yes, I'm ready” she told me and we shared a brief kiss before she grabbed her purse.Together, we left for the car where it waited and I helped her with the door before joining her.“To the venue” I told the driver and

  • The comeback of the billionaire heiress    You heard?

    SOPHIA“What?” I asked her as my heart fell.“You heard me young lady! Is he the reason why you turned down that poor man we chose for you? Because of the man who humiliated your sister?” she threw another question at me.I quickly pulled Aiden's arms off me before sitting up. My head was reeling with confusion, questions piled up too and most of all, I was still trying to come to terms with the fact that my mum just saw pictures of me and Aiden on the internet.“Slow down, mum. What was the first thing you said? About the pictures?” I asked her to be sure I heard her correctly the first time.“There are pictures of you and Aiden Cross on every Canadian social media page, Sophia! What on earth have you done?” She shrieked again, her voice even louder this time.Aiden groaned as he finally woke up. Then he sat up beside me and kissed me on the cheek while I panicked on the inside.“I didn't mean for you to find out like this mum. I was going to tell you. Eventually” I said as calmly as
