Chapter 51

Kayla I started typing, [My Uber driver is acting sus], but I paused. The man looked back and apologized again, his face turning red. "I'm so sorry, I'm just excited. I realized I'm driving a celebrity. I really didn't mean to freak you out." The fear turned into a sharp annoyance. "You did freak me out!" I yelled, my voice shaking a little. "I am a woman, and being a woman means I never feel safe in this world. Next time you get a passenger, just ask your questions immediately! Don't stare through the mirror and grin like a serial killer for ten blocks!" The man winced and gripped the steering wheel. "You're right. I’m an idiot. I am so sorry, Miss." He laughed nervously and checked his GPS. "Where are you headed tonight? Somewhere fun? I hope you have a great evening, really. And I'm sorry again." I stayed quiet for a second, my hand still on the pepper spray. He seemed genuinely embarrassed, not dangerous. "I studied architecture in school," he said suddenly, his voice getting

Chapter 52

Kayla "I'm leaving," I said firmly, trying to ignore the shaking in my hands. "If he cheats, I'm leaving. No question." "Says the girl who hasn't seen the amount of a billionaire's divorce settlement yet," Chelsea joked while she signaled the waiter for another round. Monet leaned in closer, her expression serious. "Actually, I don't think she'd be getting anything. My client—I won't say her name—just got divorced from her husband and she left with nothing because she signed a prenup." "Wait, Kayla," Cherry said while she put her glass down. "Do you think Damien will make you sign a prenup?" All their questions were giving me heart palpitations. My chest felt tight because I couldn't tell them the truth—that the whole relationship was just a contract anyway. "Wait," Jenna added, waving her hand. "Why are we even talking about marriage and divorce? She hasn't even met his parents yet. That's the real test." For some strange reason, I felt insulted. My pride flared up before I cou

Chapter 53

Kayla The man I had kicked suddenly lunged forward and grabbed a handful of my hair, jerking my head back so hard I gasped. Before I could even scream, he swung his hand and spanked my ass with a loud, stinging crack that made my eyes water. "You're being a bad girl," he sneered into my ear while his friends laughed and kept their cameras rolling. I felt a wave of pure humiliation and fear. Of all the nights to walk, we had to pick this one. Chelsea scrambled for the pepper spray I had dropped. She grabbed it and tried to spray the man holding me, but she just clicked the nozzle over and over. "It’s empty! It’s not working!" she screamed while her voice broke with panic. I managed to whip my head to the side and saw a familiar black car screech to a stop at the curb. Damien stepped out of the driver's seat, his face looking like it was carved from ice. "Are you insane? Let go of her!" Damien roared while he walked toward us. The man holding my hair didn't look scared. He just la

Chapter 54

Kayla I dropped my phone onto the dashboard. The girls were still going crazy in the group chat. My main problem was Monet, she hadn't said a word. She was always around powerful people. And Monet loved to spill tea. If she "accidentally" let it slip that Damien Blackwood was walking around with a gun, I didn't even want to think about the mess that would cause."We’re here," Damien said, cutting through my thoughts. He was looking right at me, but I’d been so stuck in my own head I hadn't even realized we’d stopped. He stepped out then opened the door for me, helping me out. We walked inside the penthouse, and there was silence. After a while, I couldn't hold it in anymore."Why do you even have a gun, Damien?" I asked with a high pitch because I was panicking internally. He sighed and rubbed his face, looking exhausted. "I had a pretty bad rebellious phase when I was a teenager. I used to do everything I could to ditch my security detail and run away." He leaned against the

Chapter 55

KaylaTwo days had passed in a flash. I had been so anxious about meeting Damien's family even though I told him otherwise. By 4pm the elevator doors opened and Damien walked inside. I was in a strapless top and had a pair of baggy shorts on. Embarrassement washed over me as he took in my extremely causal outfit. "You're here early," I sputtered. His eyes roamed my body, "It seems you weren't expecting me, or anyone for that matter."I felt heat flood my cheeks, "I was just about to go pick something out," I said, heading toward the closet. "I have a few dresses in mind.""Stop," he said. I turned around, and he was already walking toward the wardrobe. "I’d like to dress you instead."Another wave of heat rushed up my neck, turning my cheeks a deep rose color. He didn't wait for an answer. He reached into the back of the closet and pulled out a matching lace underwear set."Damien," I whispered, my voice caught in my throat. "That’s... it’s inappropriate for you to pick that out."

Chapter 56

KaylaThe drive up to the house felt like it took forever. I stared out the window at the endless green hills and perfect hedges. "Is this still the driveway?" I asked."Yes," Damien said, looking straight ahead.Every bit of land I could see belonged to his family. Finally, we reached the mansion. It was huge and looked like a stone fortress. My jaw dropped. "This is all yours?"Damien stopped the car and looked at the building. He gave a small smirk. "It belongs to my family. But on paper," he looked at me, his eyes shining, "it’s all mine."He got out and opened my door. He took my hand and led me inside. The front doors were massive wood with gold handles. Inside, the air smelled like expensive flowers. The floors were white marble, so shiny they looked like mirrors. A giant crystal chandelier hung from the ceiling, and a wide staircase with a red carpet curved up to the second floor.The whole place was built just to show off money.I leaned in and whispered to him, my voice ech

Chapter 57

Kayla We sat at a huge table. It looked like it cost a fortune and weighed even more. Sadie sat next to Damien, while Harold took a spot at the head of the table. Damien’s parents sat right next to him. There was brooding looking man sat next to Damien's parents. Next to then was Damien's Uncle Marcus; the one with the spoilt twin sons who hadn't stopped checking me out since I walked in. Then a lady was right beside him. Immediately my eyes meet hers, she looked at me with a nasty smirk and opened her mouth. "So, I hear you’re Damien’s secretary," she said loudly. "Fucking the boss... how crude." That must be Sadie's mother, Hilda. The air left my lungs. It felt like I’d been punched in the stomach. I felt Damien’s hand on my thigh. He used his thumb to draw slow circles that seemed to calm my nerves. "She’s not my secretary," Damien said. "She's an executive assistant." The woman swirled her drink in her hand a lifted it ceremoniously to her mouth, "Potato, potata

Chapter 58

Kayla"I think it’s time we start eating," Elena said, trying to break the tension.Valerie nodded. As the staff began serving the food, she turned to me with a polite smile. "So, Kayla, tell us about your family. What do they do?""My mother stays at home," I said, keeping my voice steady. "And my dad owns two small grocery stores."Sadie let out a sharp, nasty laugh. "Of course your mother stays at home. Figures."My blood started to boil. Damien’s grip on my thigh tightened under the table. He squeezed hard, warning me to stay calm. But I was done being quiet."As I recall, your mother stays at home too, Sadie," I said, leaning forward. "They could almost be twins. Except my mom had a kidney condition that grounded her. At least she had an excuse for doing nothing."The table went dead silent. Sadie looked like she wanted to reach across the table and strangle me. Her mother, Hilda, sat perfectly still, staring daggers at her own daughter for being humiliated.The silence was broke

Chapter 59

KaylaOnce we were far enough away from the mansion, the tension finally snapped. Damien suddenly grabbed me, picked me up, and spun me around. He was actually laughing."You were amazing in there!" he said, finally setting me back on my feet."You really think so?" I asked, smoothing out my dress.He nodded enthusiastically. "My grandfather loves you. He’s completely convinced that we’re real."My heart sank. That one word—real—hit me hard. For a second, I had forgotten this was all a show. I had to quickly remind myself that none of this was actually happening."What’s wrong?" Damien asked, the smile fading as he saw my face."Nothing," I lied, looking away."It's not nothing," he insisted, stepping closer. "What's wrong, Kayla? I know when something is bothering you."I threw my hands up in the air. "Sadie! She paid those guys? The ones who attacked me?"Damien’s shoulders slumped. "You heard her?""Well, she made sure I did.""I can't believe she would do something so... malicious

Chapter 60

Kayla"I ordered some food," Damien said as we walked toward the private elevator. "Just in case we get hungry after drinking."I tilted my head, stopping in my tracks. "Drinking?"He nodded looking at me with this boyish glint in his eye. "Yes, drinking. We need to celebrate this win, Kayla.""You’re really happy, aren't you?" I asked. "I must have conjured a miracle back there.""You have no idea," he said, hitting the button for the elevator.The doors were mirrored chrome. Through the reflection, I could see his eyes traveling down, openly taking in the curves of my dress. He wasn't even trying to hide it."Stop," I said, my voice sharper than I intended. "I don't think I’m comfortable staying in the same house as you tonight."He smirked, that arrogant, playful look returning to his face. "Why? Because you can’t control yourself?"I scoffed, rolling my eyes at the ceiling. "Far from it, Damien."The elevator doors slid open with a soft chime, and we stepped inside. The ride up wa
