HayleyDid he just call me “my angel?” Was this supposed to be a joke? Was Damien testing my patience? What was this sudden comfort he was feeling around me. “Damon, get away from me” I yelled as I tried to push him away from me.“Don’t be like this my love,” he said softly, bringing his lips closer to my ears. “You know how much you mean to me.”Oh! Now I was sure he was testing my patience. How much I mean to you? After you abandoned me for how many years? All of a sudden I mean so much to you? ‘Ha! I will show you how little you mean to me.’ I thought. But for some strange reason, my body was not obeying my mind. I wanted to push with all my strength and wiggle away from that space I occupied between him and the wall, but my body failed me. I was barely using any energy. And what was this feeling inside of me? Definitely not what I was thinking. Not after what he just did!I gave myself a hard mental slap that woke me up from my temporary delusion. “I said get away from me!” I baw

HayleyIt was finally here. The fashion week that I had been preparing for. Because of everything that had been happening, with the children, Alex and Damon, I had managed to squeeze out just little time for work and myself. It even got to a point that my secretary alongside Director Kim suggested that I reschedule the plans for the fashion week. But doing that, did not look good for the company. And also, it was not only my choice to make. The fashion week was my idea, and one of the plans that I had put in place for the company, since the beginning of the year. But because of some other things, which included the financial aspect, I had to partner with some other fashion brands to make the fashion week a success. And now, it was here. “I don’t look bad right?” I asked Yvonne, who stayed around at my office, helping me to completely arrange the last files that related to the items that will be displayed, alongside the models and prices. “You look nothing close to bad ma’am. Y

Damon Just looking at the imperial topaz neck piece that I had succeeded in securing for Hayley left me smiling for long. The orange stones was a good match on her skin, and I was already excited to see how it fit. “You are celebrating already, when she has not even accepted it.” My wolf recalled with a grunt, and my face fell for a moment.“I believe she is going to take it.” I mumbled. Or maybe, even if she did not, I was going to leave her with no choice but to accept it. I smiled as another thought rushed to my mind. Lately, my brain had not been failing me and I would only be ungrateful if I said I was not impressed. Getting Hayley back did not seem like a lost cause to me anymore. “Get the car ready.” I said to Tim, who wasted no time in doing as I had asked. Tim and Marco stayed at the apartment with me, but it still reeked of loneliness to me. “Where is our destination?”“I want to see my children and wife.” Without asking any question, Tim turned on the car engines a

HayleyI had no choice but to surrender to Adriel and Adriella’s request to let their father spend the night here. “Okay.” I agreed,exhaling exasperatedly.Adriella’s face immediately lit up with some kind of excitement that seemed fishy to me. I turned to look at Adriel and noticed a similar look on his face, he had a sly smile that screamed ‘victory!’ I couldn’t help but suspect that this was actually a plot by Damon to get himself to sleep over. I was a bit disappointed with myself for not putting up better of a fight, but I needed the kids to go to sleep as soon as possible and conceding to them was the only way. Besides, sleeping here doesn’t mean we have to share a bed or even a room. “Now hurry along to bed.” I told my kids. “Goodnight mummy,” Adriella came to place a kiss my cheek. Then she hugged her father and chuckled, leading me to suspect Damon more. Adriel waved me goodnight and scurried along excitedly with his sister to bed.I hadn’t looked at Damon since the kids

Hayley“You won’t believe what happened, Alex!” I was so excited, that the first thing I wanted to do was to share my joy with some other person. “Okayyy. What happened? Tell me, I’m all ears.”With a wide smile still on my face, I exhaled again. “Sure, I will tell you. And that is why I called immediately when I heard the news. The deal I had been trying to sign with Jandell corporations was successfully closed this morning.I am so excited, Alex.”“Yeah, you should be. You deserve every good thing. Your company does too.”I blushed hearing his compliments. I was so glad. The progress we had achieved in five years kept me smiling everytime I thought about it.I was determined to set out a good life for my children, myself and Lanie. But if Alex had not come into my life, I doubted how far I would have come. As though Alex was reading my thoughts at that time, he asked. “So where will you be taking me to for dinner? It’s good news, should we not celebrate?”“Ohh… about that?”
