Lahat ng Kabanata ng Damien’s new wife: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

We got to the penthouse an hour forty five minutes later and began our quest. Madison and you prepared the list of potential investors and fixed a meeting with them. It was a long day, but we were able to secure four meetings out of sixty potential investors. It's a good sign Madison assured. The next day, I was up earlier than usual and I prepared for my first meeting at 7am. Madison and I began our quest for a solution. The first meeting ended barely thirty minutes after it started. It also ended in a deadend. Madison squeezed my hand in the car giving me hope. We attended the second meeting with Mrs Beverly, she accepted to help us but she needed her husband's signature before proceeding. I was very happy and I prayed it would get finalized soon. After placing a call through her husband, she left a disappointing response. The disappointment was all over her face as she broke the news. The next two meetings got canceled before we even got there. I sat in my car and

"He has a baby girl. The girl at the reception! Chole is his daughter. He wants me to be a mother figure to Chole. And according to him, it is only through marriage. He wants me to marry him in exchange” I explained as simply as I could. Madison paced for a while before sitting down. “It isn't that bad! He is a good man, you like his child already and it is for the best" she tried to be positive. I chuckled bitterly and whispered “you think?". Madison listed out how beneficial the union will be to me and the company. “He is a good man. Since he lost his wife, I heard he has never messed around with other women. If he finds interest in you, it means it is a good thing” Maddie tried to find Rays of hope in the whole situation. Somehow I found Madison's words offensive and I didn’t know when I yelled. “He is the same damn guy from the other night!!!. He is the same man I spent the night with". I cried, frustrated and confused. Madison's jaw dropped at my words. She was at a lo

I stood on the door waiting patiently for Chole's response, but there was none from her. I knocked and all I heard was “Go away". Chole yelled sobbing. I knew this was definitely a bad idea, but I had no choice. I walked downstairs purged in my own thoughts. I really could understand Chole's reaction. It reminded me of my reaction when dad introduced Annabel and Cole. I couldn't blame the kid, I was selfish. I did all this for my company and interest without considering hers. I thought of how I felt betrayed and lied to, now I am left to pay for their recklessness and irresponsibility. I got downstairs to meet the butler who was dressed neatly. It seemed like he had been waiting for me to get down. With a smile, he greeted me. “Good morning ma'am, hope you had a great night” I nodded with a weak smile. "I will be taking you round The Villa, we could talk about changing the interiors to something you like, introducing you to the staff and their duties too”. It sounded

Irene reluctantly picked the glass and held it without looking at me. “Eat" I instructed with a grin. Irene's face turned red and it felt like she was about to explode. “Excuse you?" She raised her voice for the first time and I knew this was the second stage of depression. Anger!!. “Listen young man, I am not … .. “ " shiiiiiiii” I shut her up before she would cause a scene. "you requested breakfast for me and it's now a big deal when I ask you for a bite?” I said smiling. Irene's eyes could kill and I still couldn't understand why she can't handle a little sarcasm. "Sit Irene! Don't make things hard" I said coldly. Irene sat down reluctantly and her anger level remained the same. “Take a bite" I maintained eye contact till she took a bite. She chewed really slow and I kept my eyes on her till she swallowed the sandwich. "That wasn't poison. You are not dead yet!" I said munching on my sausage. I dropped my cutlery and signaled the maid a few meters away to clear th

Damien had put up a show downstairs as usual and had instructed the butler to get us for breakfast. The maids and staff have never seen me all dressed up before. They stared at me surprised, smiling, envious and neutral. I got to the table and sat down far from The prince of Cabin city. I preferred to sit close to Chole . Breakfast was served and we had a peaceful breakfast unlike the day before. Damien was the first to get off the table. “Ray, get Chole to her lesson. My wife and I will be leaving soon" he sent instructions flying as soon as he dropped a spoon. I noticed how sad Damien's request made Chole, she played with her food and lost appetite immediately she heard her father. “We would drop Chole before heading to the interview" I stated clearly and seriously. Damien's eyes almost skinned me alive. He looked at his daughter and turned to me before he reluctantly agreed. Few minutes later, the maid had packed Chole's lunch box and we set out to Begin our day. We s
