Her father made her marry an absolute stranger, and for six years, he abandoned her, ignoring all of her advances to make their marriage work out. Now she wants a divorce, but he refuses to let her go. "Fine. If you're not going to let me go, I'll make sure this works out for all of eternity, Mr Damon. You're mine."

The Eighteen Year Old Bride

"You look like a lamb led to slaughter, girl!" Aunt Clara snapped, seeming irritated with her trembling Niece.

" I... I don't know what to do." Naomi replied, her hands shaking slightly.

"You have nothing to do. Just stand there, smile, and say "I do."

"But... but I don't even know him." Naomi swallowed hard, a knot forming in her stomach. How is she supposed to smile and pretend she wants to get married to a stranger?

Aunt Clara leans closer narrowing her eyes on her.

"You will learn to know him! Your father made this decision for you and you must live with it."

Aunt Clara scanned Naomi in disdain. "I wonder why you get to marry into that family and what the rush is all about!”

She wipes her hand with a napkin, wiping in between her fingers with vigor.

"I'm out of here. You clearly don't need my help getting ready. And you better do as your father says or you can kiss your college dreams goodbye!”

Aunt Clara clears her throat, straightens up, and walks away. Naomi’s grip on the rather scanty boutique of flowers tightened as she stared at the double doors in front of her.

“I don't want to do this.” She muttered, glancing from the doors that would spell the rest of her life and the gate behind her, promising freedom.

Her lips quivered, her hands shook with fear of the unknown, and her vision blurred. Beads of sweat rolled down her forehead as she glanced at the gate behind her once more.

She could just leave. Run.

Her gaze returned to the wooden double doors in front of her where she could hear the wedding hymns from the organ in the hall on the other side, hinting at her walk down the aisle.

“There's no one here. Run.”

Naomi shut her eyes, and her grip on the bouquet tightened. What about her dreams of college? How is she going to afford the expensive tuition?

Her father said he would let her go to college if she married this man. All she has to do is marry him and she would be on her way to college the very next day.

Naomi took a deep breath, she had to do this. Or she'll never get a chance to become an architect.

The doors swing open making her jolt in shock. Aaron Pearl stood by the entrance, a subtle smile on his face as he stretched his hands towards her.

Naomi approached slowly, taking her father's hand as soon as she was close enough.

“You look beautiful my dear. I am glad that I get to see you like this.” Aaron said.

Naomi remained silent, refusing to acknowledge his words. She had nothing to say to him.

She couldn't believe that her own father had held her college dreams ransom in exchange for this bloody marriage!

She had absolutely nothing to say to him.

They both walked down the aisle, watched by a handful of guests in the hall. A lot of the guests were her father's business partners and the rest were unknown people. Maybe they were her ‘husband's’ relatives.

She didn't get the chance to meet the man she was supposed to marry either. She would be meeting him for the first time.

At the altar.

Everything had been in a rush. Her father told her about her wedding two days before, and it had been an ugly back and forth until she gave in to him.

Naomi’s eyes roamed the room until she caught something…someone that made her breath seize.

He was at the altar, a striking figure that got every woman in the hall staring. Even Aunt Clara couldn't keep her eyes off him!

Is that him? The man she was to marry? In a tailored black suit?

Tall, slightly built, with a presence that seems to make her world pause for a minute to admire.

Her eyes followed every feature that made up his face: his chiseled chin that looked sharp enough to cut through paper, a strong masculine s2xy jawline, his long eyelashes and thin eyebrows, those captivating eyes that glanced at his wristwatch-like he'd rather be anywhere else but here.

Naomi swallowed. He is definitely the man she's to marry.

She could tell he was fit; the suit didn't hide that either, and goodness, those red luscious lips. Seductive. Perfection.

A man straight out of her fantasies. Naomi's chin colored, but she couldn't look away; he was worth admiring a million times over.

His amber eyes settled on her fixated, almost as though studying a prey. There seemed to be a look of irritation that faded with time as he watched her. His dark brown curls seem to hide his brows which would have given away his thoughts right there and then.

Naomi looked away, her grip on the bouquet seemed to waver.

That's him. Her husband-to-be! And goodness he is so…breathtaking!

But why? She wondered. Why would he agree to this?

Hell, she was no different from a lanky teenager experiencing a very late puberty! No boobs, no ass, nothing! He must know that right?

Naomi swallowed, glancing down at her wedding dress and wondering if it hid her lack of assets well enough.

Goodness, it's all happening at once!

Aaron hands Naomi over to her husband, who holds her small, soft hand in his firm and broad palm. The feel of his skin on hers felt electrifying, making her weak in the knees.

What is this? One minute she was planning to run, and the next, she found this man attractive.

“Take care of my daughter,” Aaron said, his voice filled with emotion.

“I'll do my best.”

Naomi felt his voice wash over her like a cool breeze on a quiet evening. Deep and yet reassuring. This man isn't making it any easier to hate him.

Aaron heads back to his seat and the couple to be stood by the altar as the priest proceeds with the ceremony.

Naomi could barely hear a word the priest said! Her eyes stared down at the bouquet of flowers in her hands, refusing to stare at him in the face.

How could she when she could barely stand up straight!

His cologne filled her nostrils, reminding her of his presence every second.

There was something about him…something she couldn't explain. But it made no sense! She had cursed this man the night before for agreeing to marry her! Hell, she cursed her father, too.

Behind closed doors.

Here she was, barely able to hold the damned boutique of flowers straight without trembling.

“You may kiss the bride.”

Naomi's head snapped up in shock. They had exchanged rings and this was bound to happen next. Why didn't she think of that?

“There will be no need for that.” He said. His voice calmed every anxious nerve in her body.

But then it dawned on her.

Naomi stared at him, her brows creased at his request. Does he find her unattractive?

His eyes met hers briefly but Naomi looked away immediately. She bit her lower lip in annoyance.

Now he knows she has a thing for him! Damn it!

The preacher nodded and went on without question. “I now pronounce you husband and wife.”

Their guests applauded them, standing on their feet. The ceremony was over and they could all go home. The point of this all was for witnesses to see the union happen, and they could all call it a day after.

Aaron approached them both, holding his daughter's hand in gratitude.

“Thank you, Mr Damon. For agreeing to do this.” Aaron said in gratitude.

Damon? That's his name?

Damon nodded. “I'm glad I could be of help. I should be on my way.” He said simply.

Naomi glanced at Damon and then her father. What is going on here?

“Sure. Have a safe trip back to Manchester.” Aaron said.

Damon stepped down from the podium and was soon on his way out of the hall with a few people right behind him.

That was it.

Even the priest was gone and she was all alone in the hall with her father.

“I did what you asked. Can I leave now?” Naomi asked, her eyes staring at the entrance.

“Yes. You’ll go to college like we discussed. A deal is a deal.” He replied.

Naomi yanked the veil off her head and stormed off to the exit.

“Naomi.”

She paused, glancing over her shoulder.

“ You might not realize it now, but he's doing us a great favor, my dear. A huge one.”

Naomi scoffed. “You mean he's doing you a favor, right? You thanked him for helping you out. Did you beg him to marry me like I was some charity case?”

“Naomi..”

“I did what you asked. I'm going to college and I hope I never get to see you or him during my time there!”

Naomi stormed out of the hall, tossing the bouquet of flowers in the trash on her way out.

She's so done with her father, her aunt, and every fucking person in this bloody family!

Aaron watches his daughter leave as Reed approaches him quietly.

“You should have told her what this is about, sir,” Reed said.

Aaron smiled and shook his head. “She's just a child, she wouldn't understand. The only thing that's of value to her is her freedom, nothing else matters.”

Reed sighs, Aaron had a point.

“The car is ready sir.”

The old man nodded and they headed towards the exit. Aaron staggered as his mouth opened to release a nasty cough.

“Sir?” Reed called as Aaron leaned on his hands on his knees, coughing.

Reed wrapped his arms around the old man to steady him before offering him a white handkerchief to cover his mouth.

“Should I get the doctor, sir?” Reed asked, eyes filled with concern.

Aaron stared at the handkerchief, which was now soaked in blood, and sighed.

“What is the use of that now? It's already too late.”

“But sir..”

Aaron stands on his feet, taking in unsteady breaths.

“They successfully poisoned me. There's no way out of this and you know it.”

Reed’s fist clenched, brows furrowed with a dark look in his eyes.

“All you have to do is say the word, sir. I'll do what needs to be done.”

Aaron shook his head, a faint smile on his face. “We're better than that.”

“Sir..”

“All I need you to do is keep Naomi safe. She's all I've got. And when the time is right. You tell her what she needs to know.”

Reed exhaled. “Do you trust Mr Damon? He is your rival’s son and the history between you and his father is nothing to write home about.”

Aaron folds up the bloody handkerchief, a proud smile on his face.

“I don't trust his father but I do trust Damon. He wouldn't hurt my daughter even if he had a gun to his head.”

“How do you know that for certain sir?” Reed asked.

“I saw it in his eyes,” Aaron said, leaving Reed more confused than ever.

Six Years Later
"Mrs Naomi, I understand what your concerns are but this is a rather sudden decision. I really need you to think things through.” Patrick had told her.Naomi exhaled, her eyes staring up at the ceiling in her room. She was still in her nightwear with no desire to get out of bed any time soon. The cup of tea she had made for herself earlier sat on the coffee table with her tablet next to it.Plastered on the screen is a picture of her so-called husband with a redhead in a rather compromising position.Her eyes went shut as heaviness crawled its way into her heart. Six years. Six whole years and she waited for him. She waited night and day for a man she'd met once in their six years of marriage.Not once did he show up.No matter how much she called and texted him, he never responded. He didn't even show up at her father's funeral! His father-in-law! Naomi took a shaky breath as tears threatened to roll down her eyes. Her heart ached so badly that it became difficult to breathe.

The New Mistress
“YOU SAID WHAT?!” Soonie yelled, finding this utterly ridiculous! What on earth was she thinking?! "It's crazy, I know but I was just so mad! I wanted a reaction out of him!” Naomi replied, feeling stupid all over again.The duo were on their way back to Naomi's apartment, seated in the backseat while Alex,, Naomi's driver, took the wheels. “I don't understand you, Naomi! You went to his office to get a divorce. You had the papers in your bag! I made sure to put it in your bag, and I came here with you for emotional support, and now you're moving into his house? After all these years? Do I need to remind you what an asshole he's been?” Soonie asked, her hands shaking with rage that barely contained.“I know. I remember. I wish you were there with me to see how nonchalant he was!” Naomi leaned back in her seat and sighed.“You see? He doesn't even care about you! You need to stop doing this to yourself. He doesn't deserve you, and I promise you that so many people would kill to have

The New Mistress 2
Stepping into the mansion, Naomi was duly surprised by Damon's taste in interior decor. She expected every corner to be masculine, oozing how egocentric he was but she was surprised to see more temperate colours.She was shocked to see green, blush pinks, and whites. Could this be his family house? For all she knows, the media never seem to have pictures of his family except a picture with his father and one could tell they had quite a rocky relationship. On walking into the house, she is welcomed into the guest living area.The guest living area was huge, with a white plush couch and a glass center table with gold edges. On the center table sat a white flower vase with vines, adding a lovely color contrast to the white marble tiles and walls. Thick curtains were pulled aside to let in some natural light, and a television was on the wall.A crystal chandelier hung from the ceiling down and this guest area was ridiculously huge. One could host a party of thirty people in here breaki

Unwanted Guest
Lucky you Damon stared at the tattoo, his eyes couldn't hide how conflicted he was about that and the whole idea of her being naked In his bathroom.“I was told you would be home late. I wasn't thinking you would be home this early..” Naomi said, putting on her shorts.Damon ran his finger over his mouth, trying to look anywhere else but her body.How could she be so brazen? She is naked, in his house! He was no different from a stranger! She turned to face him, adjusting the strap of her top as she approached. How the hell is he supposed to stay calm, knowing she's completely naked underneath all that? “You have something to say to me, don't you?” She asked, pulling a stop when she was close enough. The smell of Jasmine filled his nostrils and overpowered his senses. She smells…delicious.“Anyone could have walked in.” He said sternly.“You're not anyone, you're my husband.” She replied.“You haven't seen me in six years, how confident are you that I wouldn't hurt you?” He asked

Team Lead
Naomi blinked and blinked as the entire room was wrapped in silence. Damon glared at Jordan. If he could commit murder and get away with it, Jordan would be his first, no doubt.Jordan glances at Naomi in awe. “She looks way prettier in person. Those pictures are nothing compared to the real deal!” “Get out.” Damon gritted. It seems the more he opens his mouth, the deeper the pit he dug up for Damon gets.“Thank you?” Naomi replied, glancing between the duo. Why the hell do they look like identical twins? The more she stares at Jordan, the more he looks like Damon from six years ago. “You're welcome. Wait. You spent the night here?” Damon approached Jordan, “Get out.” “Why? I'm trying to get to know my sister in law..” Damons hands settled on his brother's shoulders, gripping it tight to his bones. “If you don't leave, I'll dig up your grave and bury you nineteen feet under, do you understand me?” Damon mumbled under his breath.Jordan, clearly in pain, nodded in urgency. “Are

The New CEO
“Good morning, Mr Damon. I hope you had a lovely night's rest.” Patrick asked over the phone.Damon was on the treadmill, shirtless and covered in sweat. His dark hair stuck to his face as he stared out to the city through the glass walls.“What do you think Patrick? Naomi moved into my house, into my room. What do you think?” Patrick exhaled. “My apologies sir. But I don't think Mrs Naomi is a difficult person to live with.” Damon slowed down, turning off the treadmill. “How about she moves in with you?” He asked.“My apologies sir,” Patrick replied He had an awful feeling his assistant had something to do with this, but it made no sense, right? Right? “I do believe it's a good thing Mrs Naomi decided to move in with you. This could foster…” “I didn't think my martial issues were a subject of concern for you, Patrick,” Damon asked.“My apologies sir. But it's only a matter of time before people start talking.” Patrick adds.“About what?” “A few pictures from your wedding wer

The New CEO #2
Finally, Jeff stepped out of the office with Patrick behind him. Naomi's eyes searched her boss's office to see Damon in his seat, staring right at her. Was that a smirk? What sick game is he playing now? “I have an announcement every nine,” Jeff said and the staff gathered around. It was only a matter of minutes before every staff member in the company made their way to the design department. The hallway was full of expectant people, desperate to keep their jobs. “ This company is now a subsidiary of the Hilton empire. I was able to Reigate the terms and they will be keeping the staff, you guys. So no one is getting fired.” There was an audible sigh of relief from everyone, they all thought they would be losing their jobs! “The new administration, however, will be laying down new rules, something quite different from what you're used to here,” Patrick announced, earning silence throughout the hall. “My name is Patrick and I'm Mr Damon Sinclair's Personal assistant.”

Revenge Served Cold
Great! Just excellent!Does he have to call her out in front of everyone like that? Why the hell did he feel the need to establish the fact that he might even know her? Nomi's eyes met him, a tight smile plastered on her face like a mannequin. “Yes sir.” She replied.Damon moved away from her. “Like I said, we strive for excellence in his part of business, and if I feel you’re going to drag us down, I will graciously relieve you of your duties. One thing I hate…” His eyes land on Naomi once more. “Is leeches. People who don't want to work but they are ready to take..” Naomi arch's a questioning eyebrow, she knew damn well he was referring to her! “Do I make myself clear?” Damon asked, his attention switched to som39ne else.“Yes, sir.” Everyone in the room chorused.“Meeting dismissed. You will be making that presentation on Thursday.” Damon announced and everyone headed right out the door, slowly.As much as she wanted to avoid Tita, she had questions that needed answers from Da

Her Hubby
That made no sense but from the look in Soonies eyes, Naomi could tell she believed Damon was after her. “I don't think that's the case. I can't believe you're getting transferred to a different branch!” “And it's to take effect tomorrow. I know he's your husband but I want to curse him out so bad!” Soonie muttered.Naomi sighed; she wouldn't be able to see her friend again. Judging by the fact that it's a new branch, she's about to get really busy.“I'm going to miss you..” Naomi pouts.“Can you tell your husband to reverse this? I mean, he should be able to do at least that for you.” Soonie asked.Naomi whined. Of course, Damon wouldn't give a rat ass about her friend. He clearly doesn't care about her enough to make things ‘convenient’ for her. He made that pretty clear.“I'll try. But I doubt he's going to hear a word I say.” Naomi sighed.Soonie shook her head. “Don't worry about it. We can always make arrangements right?” Naomi nodded, a smile on her face.“Yes, we can. I'm s
