CHAPTER 103: GRANDMA EVELYN OFFERS TO HELP DAMIEN:I knocked softly on Grandma Evelyn’s door before pushing it open. Kim was right behind me, her hand brushing against mine as though she needed that little reassurance.Grandma was sitting upright in her armchair, her eyes glued to the television as she watched some documentaries with keen interest. She always had this regal presence,.like she could command a room even without raising her voice.“Come in, both of you,” she said, her tone calm but firm. “Sit down. There are things I need to talk to you about.”I glanced at Kim, then guided her toward the couch. We sat side by side while Grandma studied us carefully, her eyes lingering longer on me.She picked up the remote control and tuned down the volume of the TV.“I’ve been quiet for a while,” she began, folding her hands in her lap. “But I can’t ignore it anymore. These things happening around you two… they worry me deeply.”Kim leaned forward a little. “What things, Grandma?”Gra

CHAPTER 105: THE REGISTRY DRAMADAMIEN:Kim and I had gone upstairs to shower after we left the rest of the family in the living room. She was dragging her feet about going to the registry for Roland's marriage to Faith, the girl he got pregnant.“Damien,” she said while she leaned against the bathroom doorway, after she had showered, “do we really have to go? I mean, it’s Roland and Faith’s mess, not ours.”I was already buttoning my shirt in front of the mirror. “Baby, you know we can't afford not to go. Grandma made it clear she wants us there. Do you want her to think you’re avoiding family matters?”Her lips pressed into a pout. “But it’s not even a proper wedding. It’s just signing papers. I don’t want to waste my Saturday sitting in a registry office.”I walked over to her, wrapped my arms around her waist, and whispered, “Sweetheart, please. Let’s just do this for Grandma’s sake. You know the entire family was there to support us when we got our marriage licence. Let's be ther

CHAPTER 107: YOU'RE WANTED DOWNSTAIRS FOR A FAMILY MEETING DAMIEN’S POV:We drove back to the mansion after we had sorted out a few other things we needed to put in place for our forthcoming wedding. We had spent hours going around town, finalizing the wedding details. Kim had a list written in her neat, slanted handwriting, and I had simply followed her around like a dutiful shadow, pretending to give opinions but mostly watching her beam at every little detail. Seeing her that happy made every moment worth it.By the time we pulled into the driveway of the Carter mansion, I was drained. All I wanted was to collapse in our bedroom, with Kim wrapped in my arms. But the sight that greeted us in the living room when we walked in drained the little good mood I had left.Faith.She was sitting right there on the plush sofa, her legs crossed as though she already owned the place. The remote control was firmly in her hand, and she was flipping through channels with an expression that scre

CHAPTER 109: I LOVE YOU, BABY DAMIEN: The room was quiet after Grandma Evelyn shut Barbra down. Nobody dared say a word. You could’ve heard a pin drop, that’s how heavy the silence was. I leaned back in my chair, still trying to keep my cool. Kim’s hand was still on my arm, steadying me like she always does.A maid walked in and served everyone a glass of water. I took mine and gulped it down. I needed the water at that moment.Just then, my dad cleared his throat again. “Alright,” he said, looking around the table. “I don’t want us walking away from here angry. We are a family. And as a family, we need to learn how to live in love and unity. Because the truth is, fighting doesn't bring progress. And when we fight each other, it could lead to a scandal. “A scandal will destroy this dynasty faster than anything else. Faster than enemies, faster than competition. We can’t afford that.”I nodded slowly. He was right about that part. The Carters’ name was like gold out there, and the

CHAPTER 111: I HAVE MY WAYS KIMBERLY:“I want you, Damien. Please make love to me.” I whispered as I clung to Damien, sniffing his scent. I don’t know what came over me, but I suddenly wanted to feel him inside me.He froze for a second, like he wanted to be sure I actually said what he thought I said. Then he gave me that slow smile, the one that always made me feel butterflies in my stomach.“You don’t know what you're asking for, Kim,” he whispered, brushing his fingers gently against my cheek.I swallowed hard, my heart racing. “Maybe I do, Damien. I want you. All of you. Not just some kisses and caressing. But the real deal. I'm tired of waiting.”His hand slid to the back of my neck, pulling me closer until our lips touched. He began kissing me tenderly. “Okay honey, you'll have the real deal.”But just then, I felt a little pain in my lower abdomen. And shortly after, I felt a tiny liquid sliding down my private part. My body went stiff instantly and I clutched my stomach, as
