Madison wiped her sweaty palms on the faded jeans she was wearing, as she tried to reassure herself that she could do this. She could leave her house, go outside, and get some things done, after all it was broad daylight. She had nothing to be scared of, she decided, but the more she kept convincing herself that she could make it, the more afraid she felt.Ever since Gina had told her about those people monitoring her, Madison couldn't help but feel paranoid about the whole thing. She could remember how she had ran home that day, forgetting everything she had come to do, and it was not until she was safely locked up in her house that she realized that she had not even done what she had went out to do. The main reason why she had gone to the bakery had escaped her memory after Gina had given her that upsetting news, and slumping on her bed tears filling her eyes, she had chided herself when she realized that after all the money she had spent on a cab, the enthusiasm and excitement s

To put it all in one word, Damien was stressed. Frankly, he had been stressed for weeks, with everything that had been going on, the frequent arguments with Katherine, and then work as well. He had already decided within himself to take a vacation as soon as all this was over, but that time wasn’t coming anytime soon, because he still had a lot to do, especially with all the meetings and projects he had to round up with before the end of the month. It was extra pressure because he had to put in twice the work to impress his new partners, and prove to them that he was capable of handling whatever he was required to and so far it was going quite well. As he clicked the button to forward a document to one of his business associates, the office phone rang. He reluctantly picked it up, and blurted out crudely, "Yes? Speak, I'm busy.""Mr Rudiger is here to see you, sir. Nina his secretary say from the other end adding, “I called because you said you didn't want to be disturbed, so I wa

KATHERINEKatherine was more than fed up. She was fed up with the way Damien had been treating her these past few weeks. She was fed up with the fights, the non-stop arguments, and she was fed up with having to constantly lower herself to the point of begging for attention from her own boyfriend. She was fed up and angry, and she was going to do something about it.Stepping harder on the brake, and increasing her speed as she drove to Damien's company, she thought of what to do. After the last time he had embarrassed her in front of Alvarez and his investigator she was still sore from it, and worse still he never even bothered to call her or apologize. She needed answers from him, and no matter what happened, she was going to get them today. Soon she got to the building, and parking at the front, she clambered out of the car, grabbed her purse from the passenger seat and started to make her way straight to his office.As she neared his office, she saw his secretary jump to her fe

Madison licked the whipped cream off her fingers as she tossed the last piece of donut in her mouth. She shut her eyes, nearly moaning at how good the snack tasted. Working at a bakery had its perks after all, and as she licked her fingers once more, she walked into her kitchen, putting away the loaf of bread she had come back with safely in the only drawer in her kitchen. She secretly prayed that the mice that usually roamed around the house wouldn’t find it. Walking back to her bed, she sighed, pulling off her shoes and tugging her clothes off. She had started work at the bakery officially a few days ago and so far it was going pretty great. The job was a little stressful as she had expected for such a nice pay, but well she wasn't complaining.She had no choice, and moreover, she had also made a few friends these past few days, with Gina being there another huge bonus for her. She was also delighted that she had someone to hang out with during lunch breaks, and also someone wh

KATHERINEKatherine stretched herself out as she woke up, yawning and tying her hair back up in the ponytail it had been in last night. She felt strangely refreshed this morning compared to the way she had been feeling in the last few weeks, and she knew exactly why. She had spent the night with Damien, and it had been more than blissful.Turning over on the bed, she snaked an arm around Damien's torso, leaning in to plant a kiss on his cheek, lightly so she wouldn't wake him up. Ever since they’d reconciled back at his office, Katherine felt like things were almost back to normal, and she was readily basking in this spare time. These days he was now more than willing to take her out on dates, he was also starting to pay more attention to her and give her compliments when she wanted to hear them. Heck, he even let her make him lunch! What more could she possibly ask for? All that was left now was to slowly ease him into the talk about their marriage. Katherine was already tired
