“What are you doing?” Harriett looked at Damien suspiciously as she entered the hospital room. Eric had been in for so long that she was starting to feel uneasy so, she decided to check in on them. When walked in, she saw Damien trying to get off the bed while Eric was trying to remove the IV from his hand. As soon as both men saw her, they immediately paused, both looking like children who had been caught stealing ice cream from the fridge.“Harriett..” Damien spoke up, his voice cracking as he wondered if she had heard their conversation. He accessed her face just to be sure and from the look on it, he concluded that she didn't.“Do not ‘ Harriett ’ me. What do the both of you grown men think you are doing?” She walked up to the both of them with her hands on her waist like she was their parent.“Well… I was just checking this cool thing out.. I have no idea what he was doing.” Eric immediately defended, throwing his hands up in the air. Damien turned to his friend and raised a brow,

“You have no say in this, Damien. You’re staying with us until you’re fully recovered and that’s final.” Stacy said. The doctors had discharged Damien from the hospital, although he still had a bandage wrapped around his chest because of his wound. No matter how much Harriett wanted him to stay until his wound was full healed, the man wouldn’t listen as his body itched to get back to work. Damien knew that there was no need fighting with his mother on the topic as her mind had already been made up. But, an idea came to his mind. “Fine. I’ll come with you… on one condition.” He said with a corky smile as his eyes drifted to Harriett who was standing by the side. “Harriett spends the weekend with the kids.” He said, secretly crossing his fingers and praying that she would agree. “W-what?” Harriett’s eyes widened and her cheeks reddened. She couldn’t imagine spending the weekend with Damien and his family. It would bring back old memories that she had worked so hard to forget. “I-I

“Adrian. I thought you were out of the country.” Harriett smiled awkwardly. She could sense the tension between the brothers and a part of her knew that she was the cause. “I returned an hour ago. I was missing my family.” Adrian replied with a smirk, shifting his gaze to Damien who was staring at him like he wanted nothing more than to pounce on him. “I finally get to meet my namesake. Should I just call you Adrian Junior? You already look so much like me.” Adrian said, going over to Harriett. He stretched his hands out to little Adrian but he hid himself in his mother’s neck instead.He wasn't wrong. Little Adrian did share a resemblance with him but that was only because he was Damien's brother. “He doesn’t know who you are, brother. Don’t push your luck. Also, my son looks nothing like you.” Damien replied with gritted teeth. The air suddenly got thick and the tension between the two brothers was starting to make the environment unbearable for the others present. “Why don’t yo

“I don’t know you but I’m sure you already know that I don’t like you.” Tony said. He didn’t just hate Evelyn because she was Harriet’s enemy. He got a weird vibe from her and it also felt like he had known her before now but he couldn’t recall where. All he knew was that he didn’t like her. “You don’t even know me, darling. Don’t you think you came to that conclusion a little too fast.” Evelyn chuckled, taking a sip from her wine which she ordered while waiting for Tony. “What do you want, Evelyn?” He asked, leaning back in his seat as he held her in an intense gaze. “I have a proposal for you. One that you’d be foolish to refuse.” Evelyn smiled, batting her false lashes at him. Tony raised his brows in amusement as she wondered what she could possibly have that would make her so confident. “You want Harriett, don’t you?” Evelyn asked and the smirk that was once on Tony’s face vanished as his expression changed to a serious one. “I’d love to see where this is headed.” He adjust

Harriett was still in her room with Adrian when Stacy announced that dinner was ready. She didn’t realize how much time she had spent with Adrian just talking about the old times. They finally left the room to join the others for dinner. They were still talking and laughing about a joke Adrian made when Damien walked out of his room and saw them. Harriett paused for a few minutes as she stared at him, remembering their encounter earlier while Adrian placed a hand on her shoulder, acting like he didn’t see Damien standing and led her to the dinning table. Damien could only grit his teeth at his brother’s antics. Adrian was only trying to spite him and he knew this but why was he still bothered by him?“I was worried you guys weren’t going to join us. The twins have been waiting.” Stacy laughed as Harriett placed a kiss on her twins.“You should’ve called me to help, mother. You didn’t have to do all of this yourself.” Harriett pouted as she stared at the table which was filled w
