Damien immediately put his arms round me for protection. We all watched as a tall man in police uniform entered the house. My mom looked confused and my dad......well the same thing. Only relaxed."Officer. How may I help you?" My dad asked."We received a search warrant to check your house for files" the man lifted his ID card indicating his an official officer. My dad nodded without any complaint. The man called his men and soon, they were moving around the house."What is going on?" Mom asked dad. He just shrugged. I think this is the time to address the elephant that's been in the room."Dad. Trails of theft was found with you. " I said mildly not to cause a scene and draw the officers to us. Mom gasped and dad looked confused."What?" He almost roared but I clinged to his shirt begging him to tell me that it's not true."Recently, someone has been stealing shares from my company. It was traced to your account" Damien said. Dad shook his head. Mom was crying."And you believe I'll
Damien sent the driver to pick me up from my parents earlier today. Just three nights away from home and I already miss this place. I missed Damien. It was a while before I went to bed yesterday. I'd tossed and turned and reached out for him but he wasn't there.Immediately, I stepped into the house, I was greeted with silence. I dropped my bag on the cream sofa and made my way to the kitchen. Mrs Rose came up behind me."Welcome home Mrs Forrest""Hi...Rose" I smiled as she collected my bag and started walking upstairs."Is my husband home?" I asked following right behind her."Yes ma'am. He came home early today. He's in his work room" She said before departing to keep my bag. I continued with the spiral stairs until I came to the door of Damien's work room. It looks like a library but it's not the house library. I opened the door peeping inside.Damien was sitting down
The timer I set for the steak to get cooked went off and I quickly went to get it. It was a bit burnt but that's what made it a steak I guess. I made a mental note to call Chloe after now. I've missed her but she's not yet back from Paris. Damien entered the kitchen the exact time I place two steaks on his plate. His eyes holds that unfamiliar glint and I know he's confused."Where's Rose?" He asked."I gave her the night off" I say and set more steaks on a free plate. I know Damien never liked the idea of me being in the kitchen. He fears I'll hurt myself or something but this is me. I love to cook."You know I.....""Stop! Dinner's already ready" I sigh. I won't hear the end of it with him telling me off about the kitchen again. He takes a seat by t
I finished my last meeting with the Co and pets store. Retiring into my seat, I shut my eyes and let sleep overtake me.My phone rang and I reached to pick it. Damien's name flash on the screen and I swipe to pick."Hey baby" his voice boomed through the speaker. I grinned like a crazy school girl on prom."Hey babe" I say right back and he chuckled."Look out your window"I got up from my seat and looked out my glass window and below to find Damien waving up at me."You have about five seconds to get your fine ass here or I'll come up to get you" he playfully threatened. I pushed my phone into my purse and arranged my desk before heading for the elevator."Leaving?" Tan asked from her wooden cabin."Yeah. Till tomorrow" the elevator pinged and I stepped in. I tapped my hands against my lap impatiently. My mind raced at the possibilities o
I stretched my hand forward to grab the fruit punch from the tray set in front of me. The plane attendant smiled at me."Should I get you anything else?" She asked politely. It wasn't her fault she was here attending to me every second. We're in Damiens private jet which means we're the only occupants. So we get all the attention but right now, Damien was on important business call. I wish he'd just put his phone away for a minute."Can I get a spumoni?" I asked the blonde. Damiens words of give her everything she wants seem to bang in her head as she nodded immediately."Anything else?""That'll be all thank you. .." I read her name on the tag attached to her shirt."....Judy"She smiled with a nod and walked away. I sipped on the fruit punch Damien insisted I drink.I still couldn't believe it. We're on our way to the Phillipines for our honeymoon. So
I watched as Damien ordered a guy around to get our luggage into the Hotel. He looked so demanding, unlike the Damien I know that's always so playful around me...and so loving. This one was bossy. I guess this is how he is with his workers. He turned to me and smiled.He leaned over wrapping his arms around my waist, turned us toward the hotel. Palm Breeze Villa looks even finer than in the magazines I read just before we landed in the Philippines. I finally persuaded Damien to tell me where we were staying at.“It's beautiful” I cooed resting my head on his shoulder.Damien chuckled. “I know. Come on” he grabbed my hand gently leading us to our Suite. I guess everything was already arranged, and we didn't need to stand by the counter.
The lady in the sunny glasses smiled at I and Damien again. Her rhinestone earring made a little noise when she turned and pointed to a little tiki bar just ahead of us."The Island is a fun way of exploring life itself. Has wonderdul things in it too" she checked her phone for the fifth time. This tour was becoming boring.I told Damien I would've rather stayed back at our Suite eating lots of Lobsters than having to listen to one more tour from this woman.Damien squeezed my hands gently telling me to hang on. I don't even see the need for all these. The truck came to a stop and the lady hopped down. Damien helped me down by carrying me in his arms. I smiled sending him a kiss to his jaw."You both are lovely couples" she said. I smiled at her, a non-easy smile. I wish I'd remembered her name but it kept slipping off my mind. It's not important anyway. The woman is getting on my nerves. Has been for hour
I didn't take my eyes off Damien because I was waiting for an answer. He shrugged and glared at Bethany."What are you doing here?""Isn't it obvious? It's a beach you bum...here for a little break" she grinned taking a seat next to Damien. My nails clawed at the wooden table."Break huh? Is Alberto here with you?" Damien asked. Why is he even interested in that? I frowned looking away. My mood was already ruined. And here I thought I got away from everything in Miami but here sits the devil staring and throwing sharp glares at me.Her eyes darted to my stomach."Wow....You look so round" she smiled. "Congratulations you two" she said and then stroke Damiens arms."Dammy, order up for me" she grinned. Damien handed her the menu and I was stuck between leaving here and snapping at Damien to stop being nice to her."Crab sounds good' she said tapping her pai
