DAMIEN

I sat beside Sophia in my Maybach while my driver drove and I smiled when her perfume gently wafted into my nose.

She always had the same scent. That soft feminine flowery scent that I found myself recognizing to be hers whenever I smelt it.

I scooted closer to her and she looked at me. Our eyes met and she smiled. So I smiled too.

“Are you excited about the trip?” I asked just to start a conversation and she nodded before glancing out the window.

“You've asked this question a million times, Damien and every single time, I've told you the same thing… that I can't wait to get to Seychelles”

She replied, grinning widely and I laughed briefly in defeat because she was right. I'd asked that question way too many times.

I was about to start a new discussion with her when my phone beeped in my pocket. I pulled it out to look and I froze for a second when I saw it was a message from Elena.

-I haven't told Sophia about our little escapade but I could do that right now. I wonder what

  • The comeback of the billionaire heiress    Elena's plan

    DAMIEN“Take me to Hale's Dynasty. Now” I ordered my driver immediately I got into my car and I watched Sophia through the tinted glass as he sped off.It was time to place Elena where she belonged.It took almost an hour to get there and once the car came to a stop, I didn't wait for my driver to get the door. I got out myself and stormed into the building and I didn't have to wait at the front desk. I was led to Elena's office as soon as I introduced myself and I could tell she had been waiting.Elena was seated behind her desk as I walked in and I scoffed when she smiled at me. Her audacity was beginning to disgust me.“It's good to see you again, Damien Locke. The last time we were together still lives in my memory” she giggled and I watched as she slowly got out of her chair.She walked around the desk and stood before me. Then she held her arms akimbo as her smile turned into a smirk.“Go easy on the glare, Damien. Your eyes might just bore a hole through my head the longer you

  • The comeback of the billionaire heiress    Awkward after kiss

    SOPHIA I couldn't remember everything from the night before but immediately I woke up, what I could recall was the moment Damien almost kissed me.I didn't think I could bring myself to face him. Was he going to bring it up or not? Or was he going to let it go the way I wished he would?My thoughts were all over the place as I walked to and fro in my room, letting my nerves get the best of me.My head was hurting from drinking too much. The hangover felt like torture. But still, I was too reluctant to step foot outside my room. What exactly was I going to say to him?I groaned as I pulled at my hair in frustration and pain from the hangover and I sighed.“Damn you, Damien. Why did you have to do that?” I whispered and there was suddenly a knock on the door. I gasped in shock.Quickly, I held my hair up in a loose bun to at least good since I hadn't taken a shower. Then I grabbed a long robe closely and wore it over my nightdress.With that, I got to the door and I didn't look at him.

  • The comeback of the billionaire heiress    Elena's scheme

    DAMIENGlad that I finally made Sophia smile at the end of the day, I stood up from her bed and left her room for mine. Once I was alone, I pulled my phone out of my pocket and quickly sent a message to Elena. If it was attention she wanted, then I was going to give it to her. Just enough to keep her from doing anything stupid with those pictures until I would be back in the city."I know you were an attention seeker right from the moment you showed up in front of Sophia’s house but I never knew you would be desperate enough to ruin your sister’s name just for your enjoyment."Then I sent it to her after typing away furiously on my phone. As if she had been waiting to hear from me, her response was prompt. And she didn’t seem to be scared or remorseful. Instead, she was challenging me."Damien Locke....when it comes to Sophia, our bad blood runs deeper than you could imagine so yes! I would do whatever I want to take her happiness away. I would strip her of all that matters to her…

  • The comeback of the billionaire heiress    pretty in her sleep

    DAMIEN“I was worried about you, Sophia. No matter how you tried to hide it, you clearly weren't over that incident from that night we went out for dinner. So I racked through my brain, thinking of what could make you feel better and bringing you to the club was the only possible solution”I confessed to Sophia as we remained in the booth. Music was still booming loud, a few glasses of drinks had been taken too and it was only half an hour we'd spent.“I hope you like this, though? I don't want you pretending to enjoy this place so be honest” I asked her and she shrugged before pouring herself another glass and she took a sip.“I must say, Damien. You found the perfect place to help me unwind because I like it here. I feel so lightweight already” she slurred and I frowned.She was getting drunk already. That meant she was a lightweight drinker.“Careful with the alcohol Sophia. It'll knock you out if you take too much” I warned and she giggled after taking another sip.“Relax, Damien.

  • The comeback of the billionaire heiress    Is anything wrong?

    DAMIENI was clutching onto my phone so tightly, I thought it was going to break into pieces in my hand.The message and pictures I received from Elena kept surfacing in my head the longer we remained by the pool and I was slowly losing my cool.I warned her. I told her to stay away and keep her mouth shut. I clearly told her I would ruin her and her family's name if she crossed my path again but obviously, that wasn't enough to scare her off.I couldn't believe she would have the nerve to send me such infuriating messages. She really went that far just to get to me and even after staring at all those pictures, pure rage rushing through my veins, I still couldn't figure out what it was she could be up to.I glanced over at Sophia and she had her shades on, her head thrown back as she laid silently. She hadn't said a word since I lied to her about having the whole spy situation under control.Because clearly, I didn't. Her devil of a sister was the one who planned it all. Maybe to bla

  • The comeback of the billionaire heiress    Damien is suspicious

    SOPHIAIt was Saturday already and I was at the pool with Damien. I still couldn’t get my mind off what happened the previous night. Those pictures that got taken by that masked man and the fact that Damien lost him, they all lingered in my head on repeat.I was trying to act okay, like I didn’t care about it and it didn’t bother me that much but it was so hard to pretend. Because I knew the damage those pictures could cause to my name if they surfaced on the internet.I was going to be labeled as a woman who seduced a man to claw her way to the top. No one was going to acknowledge the fact that I and Damien had been partners for a year anymore.All they would say is, I'd been sleeping with him all along. Which is why he helped a helpless woman like me from the start. It would be a mess and my career would be ruined. I doubted anyone would want anything to do with my foundation any longer. Sighing heavily, I adjusted my shades and I felt Damien’s eyes fall on me. “What are you think
