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    Do you forgive us?

    SOPHIA“We only need your help to stop Elena from causing any more trouble before it’ll cause reputational damage to Hale’s Dynasty. We both know the public won’t be forgiving if they find out what she’s done and it’ll definitely affect the family business” I told my parents while the maids packed up the dishes from the dining table and they still couldn’t bring themselves to say anything after everything we’d told them. We’d shown them the evidence and once they saw we had a lot of it, they realized it was a futile fight for Elena. She’d been cornered and there was no saving her. Especially after the things she’d done. They were unforgivable.“She’s right, Mr and Mrs Hale. The company is doing very well right now and even though that is all thanks to Elena, we can’t ignore the fact that she’s gone beyond control. Damien Locke is a very dangerous man who won’t hesitate to take out anyone in his way and she joined hands with him”“He almost killed Sophia but thankfully, I got there o

  • The comeback of the billionaire heiress    Care to explain?

    SOPHIAWe returned to the dining room but Elena was nowhere to be found. So I looked at my parents and my mum shrugged.“She left claiming that she had some business to finish at the office before Monday” my dad said before taking a sip from his glass and I shared a quick look with Aiden. She’d obviously escaped but I wondered how that was going to help.It was only going to worsen matters if I told our parents everything in her absence.“So… Aiden Cross. How long have you been seeing my daughter?” my dad suddenly asked out of nowhere and I looked at Aiden to see he’d stopped chewing for a moment. Then he swallowed.“Sophia and I have quite a history, Mr Hale” he began and my dad raised an eyebrow. All while I quietly watched their exchange as I ate.“Care to explain? So her mother and I can understand what you mean?” my dad asked him and Aiden looked at me. I nodded at him, giving him the go ahead to tell them everything that had transpired between us and he nodded back at me before

  • The comeback of the billionaire heiress    I'm your sister!

    SOPHIA “You can't tell them anything when you get back to the dining room, Sophia. In fact, you won't. Instead, you will change your dress, eat the rest of your dinner in silence and leave with Aiden once it ends. Alright?”Elena told me immediately I shut the bathroom door after us and I was quite surprised to know she still had such audacity. Even though she was the one at my mercy.“Is that a threat or a plea?” I asked her, my arms folded across my chest and she ran her fingers through her hair while her eyes parted back and forth uneasily. She was truly panicking… She even looked desperate. “I don't care what you think it is so take your pick. All I know is you shouldn't say anything to mum and dad. Or I'll make you regret it” she hissed, causing me to chuckle in amusement while I nodded my head.“So it is a threat” I took my pick like she told me to and she began to blink frantically. “Do you think Damien is just going to sit back and let the both of you have your way? It doe

  • The comeback of the billionaire heiress    I'll talk to her

    SOPHIAMr Stan was already waiting by the door by the time we arrived at my parent's place and I wondered if we were late as we took off our coats.“Are they…”“Yes, Miss Hale. They're all waiting in the dining room already” Mr Stan answered and Aiden shared a panicked look with me.We were late!“Weren't we meant to make dinner together? That's what mum told me” I told him, confused about why they were all in the dining room already and he adjusted his glasses.“I guess she changed her mind. Maybe she didn't want to keep Mr Cross waiting while making dinner” he replied and I guessed I could understand what he meant.They were going to head straight into business with Aiden, leaving no room for friendliness with him. “Thanks, Mr Stan” I thanked the butler and he nodded in return before walking away to have our coats hanged.Holding onto Aiden's hand, I led the way to the dining room where the family waited. Including Elena. I was shocked to see her there.We didn't say a word to anyo

  • The comeback of the billionaire heiress    You look nervous

    SOPHIAMorning came and by the time I was up, breakfast was ready.Aiden already had it served when I joined him in the kitchen and together, we ate. I could feel the many cameras from corners, across the street and even the camouflaged ones as Aiden and I walked down to the nearest grocery store. I found myself wanting to go back home the farther we got and when Aiden noticed, he took my hand and held it tight.“You look nervous” he said while watching me with concern and I nodded in admittance.“That's because I'm feeling nervous as hell, Aiden. There are cameras everywhere and it's making me uncomfortable… I've never experienced something like this before” I told him and he smiled as gently as he could. “Well, we agreed to hang out together in public as many times as we could. We can't let Elena think she's winning by hiding away… that's what you said” he reminded me but I scoffed in regret.“And now, I'm wishing I didn't say any of that. I underestimated what it would feel like

  • 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
