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 once again like a mad person dressed in only a short transparent maxi dress and flip flops. I hailed a taxi immediately.
"Where to miss"
"Just drive" I snapped at him. He started the car immediately and I slumped down in my seat. Why am I crying this hard? It's my father's doing not mine but still, he's my father and that had me wondering if my marriage to Damien was just a cover for him to get what he wants. My whole life is a lie. That made me sob harder.
"Just drop me here" I motioned to the taxi man. He parked by the side of a park.
"Your fee ma'am"
I remembered I didn't take my wallet with me. I'm not even with my phone to call Damien. I took off my silver earrings and handed it to the man. He stared at it for a while before shrugging and then drove off. I turned toward the park immediately. Here I am in Paris roaming about like a stranger in flip flops.
....
Damien POVJay had already left the moment I ended the call. The suite door was left opened letting me know she ran out. I quickly ran after her. I spotted her in her blue maxi dress getting into the elevator.
"Jay!"
The door closed up too soon and I was left wondering what next to do. I had intentions of telling her about her dad taking money from my company but I didn't want her to find out like that. I ran back to the suite and quickly dialed her number. The sound of her phone ringing by her bed side and next to her wallet made me panic. She's out there without her phone and her wallet?! What if something happens to her? What if she's stranded. Of course she'll be stranded. This isn't home and she's without a dime.
Possibilities ran through my head making me call the hotel management. The man sounded ignorant at first but when I told him who I was, that had him in my suite under ten minutes.
It was obvious some staffs saw her run out but didn't know where exactly. I watched the cctv camera one more time.
"Check out the plate of the taxi she entered" I told the guys handling the computer.
"We got it" he called out.
"Well track it down" I rumbled!
The door to my suite burst opened and I hoped to see Jay run in but instead, Chloe came in quickly. Unlike the normal Chloe I know, she looked like a mess.
"What happened to your makeup?" I said. She almost never goes a day without those. Unlike Jay. Jay! Oh shit.
"Anything?" I asked the hotel manager.
"Well. Yes.. we got the taxi driver's number" he said.
"Call him"
"Damien what's wrong?" Chloe finally spoke. She looked frantic for once.
I was handed the phone.
"Bonjour!" The man on the other line greeted. I went straight to the point.
"I'm calling from Castille Paris. You picked up a lady from this hotel today?"
"Well yes. I picked up many ladies"He boasted in his job.
I groaned. Of course. He's a taxi driver. "I'll send a picture to you" I quickly sent a picture of Jay to the man.
"How about now. Remember her?"
There was a clicking sound in the background. "Why, yes. I remember her now. The sobbing lady"
What the fuck!?
"I'll take it from here sir" the hotel manager said. Good idea, because I was just about blowing the man's head off with curses, probably a bullet too.
"Where did you drop this passenger off at?"
"Well, she really didn't have a place in mind I guess, but I dropped her off at a park"
My alarms rose up. "What Park!" I yelled.
"Calm down you. I'm sure he can't hear clearly with all those yelling" Chloe patted my shoulder. I relaxed a little.
"Parc de butte chaumont"
"Really smooth Damien. What did you do to her to make her go there" Chloe attacked me immediately. Funny how she can go from messy and relaxed to overprotective of her girlfriend. I respect and admire that. I however, can not do that for Joseph.
"What are you talking about?"
"That's the same park her dad proposed to her mom"
What does any of this has to do with the matter at hand. I raised my brow at her.
"Now's not the time for your bickering Chloe" I needed and she had both her hands in her hips.
"Bickering?! Two hours after my friend tells me she loves you, she's running off to some park"
I stopped what I was doing to look at Chloe. "She what?"
"She didn't tell you? She loves you Damien" Chloe scratched her long nails against the table.
I blinked many times before gathering myself again. Jay loves me. I'm not sure how to take that news. Why didn't she tell me? She was probably thinking it won't be mutual. Granted! But, she should know I care about her more than anything in the world, because she cares about me so damn much.
She even cares about my health more than I do and for that alone, I love her.
I grabbed my car key from the bed and started out of the suite.
"I'm going to find my wife"
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
"Don't blame me if I can't keep my hands off you tonight" Damien said. He came and stood in front of me. His eyes staring at me in admiration and love. "You're a goddess" he murmured in my ears making me giggle.He led me to his Limo opening the door for me and then got in. Damien pulled me closer to him grazing his hands along my bare arm."I can't believe you're making me go to a fashion show" he grumbled against my neck. "All I wanted to do was stay in the suite with you and have champagne" he nuzzles my neck sniffing me and I chuckled. I glanced the drivers way to see him focused on the road but I know that's not the case. Damien noticed where I was looking at and pressed a button closing us from the driver."Wise thinking" I grinned and Damien smirked. "I don't like sharing" his lips attacked my neck in an instant and I pulled his head away gently."I'm not sure Chloe would love m
Damien held me to his side possessively and I must say, I love this new side to him."Bethany, this is my wife, Jaycee" he introduced. Although his smile didn't quite reach his eyes as he stated at the woman, I could see they were not in good terms.Bethany forced a smile on her face."Charmed" she said taking my hands in what is supposed to be a handshake but I felt like she was squeezing my hands and grinning. I pulled away quickly as if I were burned."I can see why Damien is so struck with you" Bethany cooed it was obvious even her compliment to me was a flirt with Damien. She kept giving him those long side glance and grinning. I felt like gauging her eyes out and feeding her. Christ! Where'd that come from."And she's even more beautiful tonight" Damien kissed my forehead and then pulled me away. He rubbed my arms worryingly as if apologising for Bethany's presence. I just smiled at
So much for trusting Damien. He pours out his love to me and then when his ex fiance shows, he goes running to her. Right under my nose. For the tenth time, I stomped my feet impatiently and angrily on the floor. The hotel attendant looked at me with concern but I smiled. A smile that didn't quite reach the eyes."Here's the key to your hotel room. How long would you be staying?"I plan on going back to our suite to grab my things but I'm scared I'll be met with Damien's face. I wonder what lie or explanation he'd give when I see him. Of course I'll see him. I deserve an explanation, not just now- I'm mad at him. Beyond mad at him."A night" I said collecting my keys and walking away. Tomorrow , I'm setting my course for home. And when I say home, I mean home. I actually miss my mom and would love to see her right now. I need someone to pour my heart to. Not Chloe. She'd murder Damien. Mom is more understanding. And the
We arrived from Paris on Monday. I wanted to go home straight but Damien said to take a few days to calm myself down. He was right. If I have to see my dad in this rage, I'll probably hate myself later on.A knock on my bedroom door startled me. I covered myself up with the blanket."Come in"The door cracked opened revealing Mrs Rose. The house help. Damien had left for work. I guess we're back to this. I'll hardly see him now. As much as my time in Paris wasn't pleasant, it brought me closer to Damien and I couldn't be anymore happier."Good morning madam" Rose stood by my side with a smile plastered on her face."Rose. How was your weekend?""I should ask you that ma'am" she dropped a basket of clean bedsheets. "Mr Forrest said to change the sheets"I groaned inwardly. Damien didn't have to do that. Since we got married, I've been changing the sheets. E
Immediately after the meeting with CO pets and store, I retired back to my office. I wasn't feeling all that good. Maybe, it's because I stood for a very long time. A story Damien wouldn't really love. Tanya came into my office with a big goody smile."Someone's here to see you" she stepped out of the way and there was my mom opening her arms to me. I leaped from my seat and into them. I can't believe she's here. She's really here."I'll be off soon" Tan reminded me before walking away. "Nice to see you Mrs Roberto""As well, Tanya" my mom smiled at my friend."What are you doing here mom?"She immediately looked offended. "So I can't visit my daughter?" She asked with a raised brow."Of course you can mom. It's just.....you came all the way from London. You didn't tell me you were coming" now I was the one sounding offended. She soothed my already clean hair. That's my mom for you. Perfection. She always vouches for it."Your dad and I are just taking this week off of work" Mom took t
I fixed the last of my pin when Damien walked in. He stopped by the door staring at me through the mirror. His face masked with what was running through his mind right now, and that made me smirk. He walked over to me and placed a hand on my tummy."I love you in this dress" he whispered behind my ear. Goosebumps rose all over my skin."You pretty much love anything I wear" I couldn't hide the smug look on my face."You're right. But I never thought you could look so extremely sexy in green"I stared at my dress in the mirror. It was green alright. A silk green dress that just reached to my knee. The back was covered and so was the front. It's a dinner with my parent not a party. I got to dress descent."Your starting to show" Damien ran his hands around my stomach. His hot breath fanned my voice hotly. I leaned into him and taking in his cologne that smells so nice, manly and conforting."We're going to be late" I remind him. He pressed a kiss to my cheek and then walked us out of the
