LOGIN“You have grown so much, Damien.” Mrs. Eleanor said as she brought her hand to Damien's face.
That was the tenth time she would be doing that since his arrival. He knew she could not believe her eyes, so she wanted to make sure he was really the one“You thought I would have abandoned you?”“You shouldn't have come here. What if your father finds out? You know how scary he can be.”“I don't care about my father, we never had a good relationship either.”Damien was lost in thought as he drove home. His mind drifted back to the dinner he had with his father. The old man had told him how glad he was to have done things he couldn't do.“I might not have been a sole part of your childhood up to adulthood but I'm proud of the man you have become.” he had told him.Damien had been speechless, not knowing what to say or do.“Eleanor told me how you had tracked her location and begged her to come back.” He paused and sighed, “I have tried as much as possible to forget about everything, but still, memories about her still flood back, not until I saw her.”“I acted out of feeling, father.”“You did well, Damien. And now we have settled our differences because of you.”“I'm glad, father.” Damien said.“And as for Aria…”Damien looked at him.“She's really wonderful. Maybe I shouldn't have concluded before seeing her.” he had told him.“What are you thinki
The next morning, Aria woke up to the bright light that seeped in through the curtain. She smiled and turned only to find Damien at the opposite side of the bed. Aria gasped wondering how they had landed up together. She remembered the dinner with the parents and him during her home and then feeling sleepy not until he carried her to the room and–Her eyes widened. They had had sex!She glanced at the window and noticed it was bright already and she was already late for work. Just as she wanted to get up she felt a hand curled around her waist.“Don't go yet.” Damien mumbled.“I have to work.” Aria told him as she pulled it gently.“You can skip today. I will have them understand.”“No, Damien. I will not be misusing my relationship with you.”Damien sat up quickly. “So you agree we are in a relationship?”Aria rolled her eyes playfully. “Oh please. I have to go.”“Fine.” Damien said
The clock was ticking. It was already past 5pm and Aria was seated at the makeup desk with Sophie helping her put her hair into a bun. Aria was nervous, she could feel it because it was a few hours more before she would meet Damien's parents.She had told him about her decision to accept the dinner invitation and he had offered to pick her up, now she was getting dressed and wondering if it was all a dream.“You look gorgeous, babe.” Sophie commented as Aria stared at herself in the mirror.She could not believe the elegant, sophisticated lady she was looking at. From the emerald green pencil gown to the pair of white stilettos and clutch, every part of her exuded elegance and mystery. She did not belong to the rich society but she looked like one.“You are going to take their breaths away by your beauty.”“Oh please.” Aria said, secretly rolling her eyes. “I am already nervous.”“Nervous? That is totally normal.” Sophie said, th
“Aria!” Sophie shouted the moment Aria stepped into the house.“Sophie.” Aria said weakly as she crashed on the couch. “What happened to you?”“It is a seemingly long story.” Aria told her, then she went on to tell her how she was kidnapped.“Fuck Lucas! I hope he rots in jail and fuck Camille too, she is a devil!”Aria let out a weak chuckle. It was funny seeing Sophie cuss.“I missed you.” Aria said, hugging her.“Me too. I was so worried. I wanted to go look for you but I had no idea where.”“I'm glad you stayed back. Damien took care of everything.”Sophie smiled. “He is such a saviour. Guess he still loved you no doubt.”Aria let out a weak smile. She did not know if that was love or something else.***Hours later, Sophie decided to head home while Aria insisted on waiting for Damien. She wanted to confirm if her feelings were really true or false.It
“You are not supposed to be here.” Camille said with shock written all over her face.“I have every right to be here, Camille. Aria belongs to me.”“I belong to one no.” Aria chirped in.Damien turned to her.“You cannot deny that Aria. You cannot say you don't feel anything for me when your eyes say it all.” Then he averted his gaze to Camille, “you have come too far with this. The best you can do is to drop the weapon before things escalate.”Camille chuckled.“You always have everything under your control but this time I won't succumb to any of your tricks.”Damien sighed.“It is not a trick, Camille. Besides, I actually have everything under control like you said.”As he spoke, some men appeared from nowhere surrounding the whole place. On seeing them, Camille's eyes widened.“Shocked to see them? Mr. Pierce had known you were up to no good. Strangely he had been the first to find out about
“What do you mean by she's missing?” Sophie asked Adrian as she stood in the living room of Damien's house.“It has been two days since she left the house. I had let her be, thinking she was here and now you say she is not here?” she added.“You need to calm down. She will soon be found.”Sophie stared at him with an unbelievable expression. She was regretting the fact that she did not follow her instinct to know that something was wrong. She could have matched the dots when Aria did not answer her calls.A lot of things were going through her mind but none of it was greater than the fact that her best friend was nowhere to be found.At that moment, Damien appeared behind her.“Sophie?”She turned quickly, locking gaze with him.“Aria's missing.”“I know and I am about to go find out where she is.”“I am coming with you.” she told him.The guilt alone was wearing her down and she coul
“What is it? You don't want me?” Damien asked when he noticed Aria did not want to enter the vehicle. Aria did not say anything. She was still contemplating on if she should or should not enter. “What is your answer going to be?” Damien asked again with a slight smirk. He was sure she had no oth
“Sir.” Adrian called as he entered the office in a hurry. Damien, who had been lost in thought, quickly regained consciousness and looked at his assistant.“Yes, Adrian? Is there a problem? And why didn't you knock?” he asked him.“I did, but it appears you were too busy,” the man explained as he
“Who the hell does he think he is?” Damien yelled in anger as he slammed the door behind him. He walked towards his office, pulling his tie as he walked while Adrian trotted behind him in a slow and calculated manner. He was aware of his boss' temper, and the only thing he could do was distance h
Damien did not know what brought him to Aria's room. He just found himself there. She stood before him, her eyes shining in surprise at his intrusion.Damien was speechless, not that he did not know what to say, but because he was not sure if she would believe him if he said he came to see her.He
