The ideal purpose of being Damien's wife was to join the Roberto family with the Forrest. To make an outstanding empire. Now, other companies where also involved in this but they were minor. Damien never married any of the other CEO's daughters. He married me. Why am I saying this, I have an advantage. Damien chose me for a reason. This isn't some kind of olden days fiction where the king chooses a wife amongst many but I've been betrothed to Damien almost my whole life. I know he wasn't faithful before we got married.
I had boyfriends and he had flings and girlfriends but now none of those matters. All that matter is us. I and Damien. I don't know if he loves me or just respect me as his wife but I'm going to use that advantage.
"Girl you there?" Chloe voice boomed through my car speaker. Yeah...I was talking to Chloe and she was telling me why I'm at advantage. I'm his wife. Borrowing his jet won't cost him a thing. Would it?
"I'm hearing you"
"You just gotta talk to him. Be closer to him" Chloe lectured. I know I have to be close to Damien. He's my husband but work is keeping us apart. His work.
"I know Chloe"
"Don't you roll your eyes at me girl. I know your doing it" she scolded and I laughed of course I rolled my eyes at her. I caught sight of the Mansions gate from afar.
"I gotta go. Bye"
"Bye. And kick some ass"
"I'm not kicking no ass" I sighed and caught the call. Just talk to him. What could possibly go wrong. Chloe words from before echoed in my head.
"Your not just a person he carries about like a show off or fucks when he wants to. Your his wife"
I'm Damien's wife.
*********
Rose informed me the moment I stepped into the house, that Damien was already up. I made my way to the room quickly in time to see him coming out of the shower. His jet black hair was wet and a bit tangled. Water was dripping down his chest to the low cut of the towel on his waist. Stay focused.
I dropped my bag on the bed and started taking my shoes off.
"You left off work late today" he said. He was drying his hair with an excess towel but that didn't stop him from looking at me.
"We had two cases of a dog bite" I sighed and finally took the second heels of. I wiggled my toes so it reduced some ache.
"I thought you run a pet store not a hospital" He was done drying his hair and I was watching his every move. He rummaged through the wardrobe for his pants. He finally pulled a free ash pant and put it on.
"Well, the child was bit by a dog in my store so somehow, I was involved"
He noticed the way I kept rubbing my ankles together.
"I told you to stop wearing heels on longer days" he scolded. Why does everyone seem to scold me.
"I didn't know I was going to stay long at work" I grumbled. He came to sit by me and took my feet unto his lap and started massaging it. Now's the time to talk.
"You would've still carried an extra shoe or slipper Jay" he said. He rubbed an ointment on my leg.
"Well I don't have to worry about ankle pains when I know I've got a husband who massages my leg real good" I grinned. He dropped the oil, ruffled my hair and planted a kiss to my lips.
"Well, that husband also gets tired from work don't you think?"
Is he bringing up sex?
"Let me massage you to" I followed him to the balcony where he lay on a lounge chair. His belly down. I sat behind and started massaging his shoulders with the same oil. Now's the time.
"Um...I'm thinking about attending Chloe's fashion show this weekend" I tilted my head to the side but he was quiet.
"Damien"
"Jaycee"
I chuckled at his tone. He was obviously tired. "Why don't you get some rest"
"No. Finish what you were saying" Damien rolled to his back. His eyes were now fixed on me making me mega nervous.
"She invited me for the show"
"Where is it?"
"Paris"
His left brow shot up. "I'm not letting you go all by yourself. Take Joseph with you" Joseph is his driver and helps him do many other stuffs. They were kind of buddies. Here goes the hard one now.
"I was thinking maybe, you should come with...me" my voice went extra high at the last word. He sat upright taking my hands in his.
"Jay, you know I've got lots of work to do"
I lowered my head nodding. That's what I thought. "I was thinking it'd be a great way for us to spend some time together. We never went on a honeymoon because you were so busy" my head was still lowered and I was trying to make him feel guilty. Hell, I even brought out a tear.
"Jay..."
"It's alright. I'll ask my mom to go with me. She loves fashion shows a lot" good now walk away. I got up to go but he took my hand pulling me to his leg. His right palm held my cheek in his and lifted my face to his.
"I'll go with you" he said and a smile broke out on my face.
"Really?"
"Yes."
I threw my arms round his neck hugging him tight. I pulled away later on.
"And Jay,...don't ever hesitate to tell me whatever you want. Ever"
I nodded.
"Now let's get you out of your work clothe and into bed" he lifted me in his arms, leading us back to the room. My heart is over filled with joy and I can't stop grinning even though it might just be creeping the hell out of Damien.
Damien POVJoseph stalked into my office carrying much more files than I could ever bear. I think my head is going to explode with all these load of work and there's Jaycee asking me to go to Paris with her. I didn't want to, cause of the work I have on ground but damn. Those tears. I've always been a softie for tears. Normally, I dislike women who cry but with Jaycee it was different. It touched something in me. I don't even know why. It's not like I'm in love with her. She's just my wife. "Got what you asked" Joseph dropped the papers to my desk some even faltered to the floor."I didn't ask for all these papers, I asked for a direct reason to why my company shares are reducing"Joseph crossed his arms staring at me. His blue eyes were fixed and I know he was thinking."Let's get this straight Damien, you don't expect whoever is stealing from you to leave written e
Jaycee POVIf I wasn't thinking twice about going to Paris, I am now. We were in Damien's jet going to Paris. He's been on his phone for what seems like hours and we haven't said a word to each other. Is he still mad about last night.? I didn't even do anything wrong. "Damien"I wrapped my arms round his bicep making him turn to him. "You're over working yourself again" I smiled."I have to. Going to Paris has already bulged into my schedule" he said. He ran his hands through his hair and I reached up to smoother it so it looked neat. Guilt washed over me like sour rain. I never should've asked him to come with me in the first place. I know how busy he is."None of this is your fault Jay. I chose to come" his hands stroke my chin and I snuggled close to him. Still my fault he's here and wasting his time. Damien put his phone down and wrapped his arm around me and I'm than
I spent half of my day stuffing ice cream into my mouth feeling like a coward for not confronting Damien about the messages. I scooped another spoonful of banana flavour stuffing into my mouth. I relaxed a little letting the ice melt on my tongue. My phone chimed and I groaned picking it up. Damien's name flashed on the screen and I wanted to puke.Should I pick? Of course I'll pick. Not picking is acting like a stupid teenager that don't know what her boyfriend is up to. Maybe the woman is just one of his co workers. But why did the text seem so intimate? I tapped on the green button aggressively."Jay. Are you already at Chloe's?" He seemed to be walking...i hope cause his breathing was a bit raspy."No. I can't go" I blurt. There was silence before he finally spoke."Why? Are you sick?"I scoffed. If only he knew. I crossed my leg under the blanket. I just can't admit the
Chloe was to come over for dinner and I couldn't wait to see her. Damien hasn't gone out since we came back from the hospital. I know he has lots of work to do. Instead, he just sits on the bed massaging my ankle or making phone calls. I'm not even six months pregnant.I looked at the paper on my drawer. When the doctor gave me that, I thought he'd flip. Not that he hates children but, he once said kids would be fine but later on."Aren't you supposed to be at a meeting or something? " I asked him. he kept his phone by his bedside and landed on the bed sighing. "What's wrong?""They found the account stealing from my company."I smiled. That's a good thing. Really great. Now he can take a break from exhausting himself too much."That's great Damien" I lay on top of him wrapping my arms round him in a hug. His hands encircled my waist holding me so close to him like he didn't want to let go.I raised my head and looked at him. His eyes were fixed on me and dull. What now?"Damien?""Are
I grabbed my car keys from my bed side with the attempt of driving far away from here, but thought about it. Damien would just track my car and find me. And I don't want to be followed. I need some alone time and most especially, I need to have a long talk with my dad.I sipped my hot chocolate first before storming out of the suite. Maybe I heard Damien call me but I was already in the elevator hitting the button like a mad person. The door finally closed and I noticed an older woman staring at me. She was holding her son in her hand which made me rub my tummy. This is insane. Everything is. I didn't notice tears streaming down my face and the lady tapped me."You ok miss?" She asked.For a moment I wanted to tell her my whole life story right from the point where I made that short walk to the alter and said ' I do ' to becoming Damien's wife. I sobbed louder nodding my head at the lady. She just smiled unconvinced but didn't push it.The elevator doors finally opened and I rushed out

I cleaned my greasy stained hands on my blue maxi dress leaving an odd stain. Now I don't only look like an outcast, I look like a four years old. Thank heavens for the free chicken stand in the park for kids. I trotted toward a warmer region of the park with less people and sat down on the grassy ground. The sky had turned grey."Rain. Why?" I sighed to myself. I laid against the grass staring up at the sky. Why am I even here? Oh yeah. I needed space and that's why I'm seating lonely on the ground of this cold park. The sky rumbled and parents started leading their children away. In all the commotion and movements, I sat still on the grass staring right ahead of me. My dad couldn't be the culprit. I won't believe it until I've asked him myself. I really need to be a doubting thomas right now because I can't just face the fact that my dad was...using me? Urgh!! I shut my eyes as the sky released cool liquids o
I broke into sobs as Damien placed a kiss to my lips then he drew back and looked at me in the eyes."Jay I love you" he repeated. I flung my arms round his shoulder, sighing into his neck. His hands rubbed my back gently. How long has it been that I've been waiting to hear that from him."You mean it?" My voice was highly squeaky but who cares. Damien just said he loves me.He placed his hand on my still flat tummy. "You and this baby are my life now" he smiled and drew me to him hugging me tight. I relaxed into him inhaling his scent. It didn't matter to me that I and Damien where seating naked on our bed discussing and making out. Oh the joy that's ringing through my head right now.Damien capture my face in his hands rubbing my chin. His eyes for the first time since I've known him, full of love and adoration. Full of sincerity and commitment. Full of happiness and peace. I kissed his Palm. "I
