The moment we stepped back into the ballroom, Bethany's eyes zeroed on me and I gave her a little, tight smirk. She rolled her eyes and looked away. Haha sucker! Damien pulled out my seat and then excused himself. I was left with Bethany and some others at the table.
I wish I had brought my phone so I didn't have to stare at her stupid face all the time. I dragged my hands over my tummy as the blonde by my side smiled at me. I smiled at her. She wasn't here before so I guess she just arrived.
"Hello. I guess your here with Damien" she said and I nodded.
"He's my husband" I smiled and she chuckled.
"Why, it's nice to meet you" her voice sounded English. Her thick accent also complimented her tight blonde bun and black Versache gown. I bet she has a black or silver sandal to go with it. Her eyes were also masked with thick mascara and smoky eyes. She's pretty and I'll hate to think she was one of Da
Coming to the house Damien bought for us over a month ago again felt like coming into a totally different place. The place was transformed and looked pretty. Fortunately for me, Damien didn't change anything about the interior of the sitting room because I'd loved the modern yet vintage setting.And of course, I didn't fail to notice the double security Damien put up. Since the house was by the water side, I think he has this idea that I might be kidnapped again by water and all that shit. I don't even know all the crazy stuffs that go through that guys head. He thinks I'm a baby that need pampering!"Would you like a feet massage before Mr Forrest get back from work?" The plump lady in front of me asked. She's not Rose. This house has more maids than I could ever imagine. So Rose is like the head of them all. AND NO!....."I don't need a foot massage!" I state with a loud and clear voice, hoping sh
Danielle hit the ball so hard, we couldn't find where it flew to. It's a warm Wednesday and we're both playing golf and bonding over food and makeup."Do you think it ran into the trees?" Elle asked. She bent down and picked another golf ball."Guess so"I placed my hand to shield my eyes from the sun. Elle had told me to take a cap with him but I'd blantanly refused. I thought it'd be weird wearing a summer dress, tennis shoes and a cap. Oh and let me not fail to mention that I'm pregnant. Now I see she had a point."Do you hear that?" I asked Elle.There was a humming sound coming toward us. Like a truck but it didn't have that rugged sound. Elle dropped her ball down next to a hole and gave it a tiny tud. The ball rolled slowly along the well trimmed grass until it entered into the hole.I clapped my hands as Elle jumped up and down. That's her first win today.
The sun was already going down and I've given Damien many kisses than I can count. We didn't only golf but barbecued. Rose came over and helped us with steaks. We found a shady spot with a wooden table and trunks like stools round the table. It looked man-made though but it was pretty."Thanks for the steaks, Rose"Rose smiled at me and nodded before going back to the grill. Everyone was much too hungry after the games to even talk. Chloe of all people was stuffing her face with potatoes and steak at the same time."We should do this every weekday Dammy" Elle said. I cringed at the name she called him because once upon a time, Bethany had called him that and it annoyed the hell out of me. Still annoys me."Are you planing to stay here much longer?" Damien frowned and I hit his leg under the table. He stared at me and I mouthed be nice. He rolled his eyes at me and dug his fork into his steak.
Damien POV"Well then since you have no reason for her to leave, she's going to stay" Jay said and she was walking toward the door. This discussion is not over. She doesn't even have a clue what Elle did. She just met her and she's already stuck to her like glue. I knew this was a bad idea even allowing Elle stay a second close to Jay."I have a reason and she's leaving" I said before she could walk out on me."Well then tell me what it is. What's your problem?" She asked and I suddenly felt anger. I have a problem? The fuck she just didn't say that to me."I don't have a problem and if you keep talking back at me like that, we're going to have a problem. So stop acting like a nosey bitch and mind your goddamn business, goddamit!" I yelled.I'm sure by now the veins in my neck were at full alert but nothing topped the pain, confusion and fear I saw on Jay's face.
Damien POV"Mrs Roberto I'm so sorry. We were talking and then she just fainted" I explained for the tenth time. Jay's mom tapped my shoulder gently. Immediately she got the call that Jay was hospitalised, she took the first flight from London right here. It's a shame Mr Roberto couldn't make it. He had business in Ireland."These things happen dear. It's marriage afterall. "She smiled up at me but I was just not happy with myself. I found myself pacing the room slowly and waiting for Jay to wake up. It's the second day and she's not even blinked."The things I said to her were so mean. I didn't mean them but...I just....I hate myself right now" I strolled to the edge of Jay's bed and gripped the iron.In some few seconds, Mrs Roberto was standing by my side. Her hands entangled with mine. Her palm cupped my cheek to face her."Just tell her your sorry when she wakes up. A
"Even though Damien and I had different moms, we loved the same woman. The woman who took care of me like I was her own child after I was abandoned by my own" Elle said with a smile. We were seating in the love seat away from everyone else.My mom, Damien, Chloe, Charles, Raymond and even Joseph, were in the other room watching movies and talking about fun stuffs. I and Elle could still see them from here and I smiled when Chloe pat Damien on the shoulder for something he said."Damien's mom sounds like a brave woman" I muttered to Elle with an unmistakable smile on my face."Yeah she was. Taking up her husband's stray daughter was a tough one but she did it. She was the only real mom I ever knew and had""I'm sure she loved you as much as
I've had enough Paparazi for a day in my life. This morning when I arrived at my pet store, strictly guarded by a man Damien assigned. I think his name is Jim. There were a few cars parked outside my building. I had thought we had many buyers today only to be faced with a blinding flashing camera in my face. The paps swarmed me like bees and luckily for me, Jim came to my rescue."What are they on about anyway? " Tanya asked me. She was rocking her baby in her arms. She put to bed a while ago but I was too busy to even notice or know. She had sent me an email but I haven't gone through my emails in decades.Too engulfed in my own problems to care about other people's problems."Someone leaked a news out to the blog" Elle muttered. I was happy they were around me. After the assault of the Paps in front of my building, I was taken home. Tan followed me."What?" I asked, staring at Elle. She was going through her
Engulfed in Damien's arms, I felt at ease. I felt peaceful with myself. I thought I'd arrive at his company to see him being dragged out of his office in cuffs. Although I know something like that would never happen with the kind of connection Damien has, but when I left the house, I just couldn't stop panicking."Why are you here? Are you alright, do you need to go to the hospital?" Damien asked."I saw the news"I raised my head from his shoulders so I could look him in the eyes. They were at ease and in control but deep down I know he's trying to hide his unsettled mind."You shouldn't have just sprinted up like that. What if you cramped. Did you drive?...Please tell me you didn't drive yourself. .." My palms connected with his cheeks softly, pulling his face to mine"I'm fine. And I brought Jimmy with me"He sighed in relief. The door to his
