DAMIENI burst the door open.But I don't see an emergency. Or Dani.I see Vanessa.She stops leaning on the wall, startled to see me. A small smile draws on her lips as she moves closer to me, amusement on her face. "You bad boy." She whispers. "Waiting for your wife to leave so that you can sneak in. You miss me, don't you?""Where's my wife?" I demand."She went to grab a bottle of wine. For me.""Let me guess. You used the bottle of wine as a way to kick her out so that you could get some time alone with her husband in the washroom. Genius."Vanessa moves past me and locks the door. She stands against the door, staring at me with a smirk."The bottle of wine was your wife's idea." She says. "And maybe this is the universe trying to get us together so that we can talk. We have a lot to talk about.""Was Dani okay?" I ask sharply. "When she left?""Yeah." She nods. "More than okay, actually. Excited. Bubbly. Happy. She's always happy. Being with you makes her happy. The same way yo

The past week has been weird.Weird because of Damien's silence. Weird because we don't have breakfast together anymore. Weird because he leaves extra early in the morning. Weird because we don't go to work together anymore. Weird because we don't have lunch together at the office anymore. Weird because we don't have dinner together anymore. Weird because he comes home late and finds me asleep.And weirdly, this new lonely life breaks my heart. I never knew how much I enjoyed Damien's company until he punished me with the silent treatment.Nate is the only person I talk to. But since he's a night owl, we rarely talk during the day. Lana and I are still not on speaking terms. I'm still mad at her. She's still mad at me but I miss her so much. And I miss my husband. Well, fake husband. Damien is my friend. And since I have a few friends, I would hate to lose him.I'm sitting in my office, doing some paperwork when I get a little kick. Oh my God! My baby just kicked. Tears well up in my

Camille Hunt is creepy.How the fùck does she know about the skeletons everyone hides in their closet? How the fùck does she know about Vanessa being a drug dealer? She's stuck in a wheelchair and I'm sure she doesn't go out much so how come she knows everyone's deepest darkest secrets? Camille pours some wine into her glass and takes a small sip."Yes." She smiles. "Damien's ex is a drug dealer. I was just as shocked as you when I found out."I'm not shocked that Vanessa was a drug dealer. I knew that. But I'm shocked that Camille knows."But that wicked woman has always been desperate for money. She's probably had a tough life and swore she would do anything for money. That's why she's been clinging on to Damien like a bloody bug for all these years. She loved that he could spoil her with expensive things. That's why she married the son of a drug dealer. She wants easy access to drugs and the crazy money." She pauses. "It's sad that Sophia loves her. They've been friends since coll

Damien is making pancakes.He's in the kitchen, moving around with a cookbook in his hand. He turns around to see me perching myself on the counter."Good morning." He says as he passes an apple. "That should keep the doctor away."I bite on the apple, wallowing in confusion. "Aren't you late for work?""Work can wait." He smiles. "I have to make breakfast for my wife.""I can't remember the last time we sat down to have breakfast together." I frown. "Does this mean you're not mad at me anymore?""Dani, I missed you. And I can't stand not talking to you." He gets closer. "Now open your mouth for me."He gives me a bite of the pancake. It's perfect. But not as perfect as his eyes when they watch me as I savour and swallow. "Delicious!" I comment."Not as delicious as your lips."My heart skips a beat as he takes a step closer. He stands between my legs, his intense eyes trailing down to my lips. He runs his fingers through my hair. Softly. Just how I like it. His fingers trail down f

DAMIENStrange things...Strange things have been happening. Strange things keep happening. Strange things that I'm starting to hate. Strange things that all have to do with Dani.Strange things like sneaking into Dani's room to check up on her. Make sure she's sleeping in the right position. Make sure her head is set in a comfortable position on the pillow. Make sure she's switched off the lights. It's become a habit. A habit that went a little too far last night. I ran my fingers through her soft hair. It felt so good. I didn't want to stop. Fùcking hell. I sound like some creep...Strange things like bringing her lunch to her office every day. A strange habit I enjoy a little too much. I could find someone to drop lunch at her office but I still choose to do it myself. I should be mad at her. I shouldn't be dropping lunch at her office.Strange things like clenching my jaw when I saw Brandon leave her office a few hours ago. I don't know why Dani still entertains that prick. He dec
