Damien had a nice sleep that night ,it was probably due to the drugs taking an effect on him pulling him into an sound slumber. He didn’t know how long he had slept. It was late morning when his eyes finally snapped open, due to the noise coming from the kitchen. He quickly sat up thinking that someone was breaking and entering but when he got there, he saw that it was harlie attempting to pick the pot cover that had stumbled from the table. The kitchen was a mess and so was Charlie. Damien couldn’t help but smile. “What are you doing?” He asked as Charlie snapped around and saw him as her eyes widened in surprise before she looked at her toes. “Just passing time. You were sleeping so I didn’t want to disturb you since you were in pains and I decided to try something new.”she said as Damien walked in taking a look around the kitchen. “It’s not that bad. Were you making dinner for me?” He asked as Charlie shook her head but her facial expressions betrayed her. “Well I am up now, a
Lily didn’t sleep well at all as she kept on tossing on her bed thinking about Damien. This couldn’t be a prank anymore. Damien was definitely in trouble. She had waited hoping to get a phonecall or a text from Damien that would explain everything but her phone was dead silent. Felicia wasn’t around, she heard her leave earlier. Probably she had gone to Damien’s office to get started with the excess work that was being compiled. Saying her prayers silently, she wiped the little tears from her eyes as she made her way to the bathroom and took her bathe before coming out. And then she changed into a loose outfit and walked downstairs to the big empty house and made breakfast for herself. She sat down and ate, wishing that Damien would just knock on the door and surprise her so that she could hold him and shake him till his teeth shook. Her mind then wandered back to the disfigured man and his daughter for a few seconds. She had never seen that man before but he felt familiar to her s
"Do you know, Lily?" Lily's father started the conversation. His words broke the silence that had been created. Lily immediately rolled her eyes, and she sat quietly on a chair in their living room as she listened to her father. "Didn't you ever realize that Damien was so embarrassed by you?" Her father started Lily's eyes widened at her father's words because she was so shocked to know that. "Embarrassed?" Lily asked in her heart. She frowned as she felt confused. As long as she gets married to Damien, she has never heard that he was ashamed of her. She only knows that Damien loves her so much with all of his heart, and Damien makes Lily the only woman that he loves. "Dear!" Her mother tried to cut off her father's words and sat beside Lily, who was still in shock. "Why, Honey? Listen to me first! "I've not finished my words yet, but you already called me!" Lily's father grumbled. His face turned red. "Don't say that to Lily! Poor ,Lily! I'm not sure if Lily is ready to accept i

That morning, the sun was shining brightly. A gust of wind came in through the crack in the window. Birds chirping and the sound of roosters crowing decorate the beautiful morning. The sound of the alarm that Damien had set the day before woke him up in the morning. He deliberately wanted to get up early because he wanted to be alone and gave himself some spare time. He detached himself from the problems that he had been dealing with and working with ever since he stepped into the fast-paced city life. He wanted to feel the serenity of life away from city life and breathe fresh air away from pollution. Actually, those were also the reasons why he had been away from his wife all this time. Damien immediately rubbed his eyes. After that, he stood up and walked out of the cottage. When he was outside the cottage, he saw a lake a bit away from where he stood. He also saw grass, tall trees, and flowers blooming near the lake. He immediately walked to the path where the lake was. Arriving
"Damien," Mr. Dale starts. "Sir, I think you should allow me to go home, I can't spend the rest of the month recovering here. I need to be with Lily," Damien says immediately, feeling nervous. "No you don't, Damien, you dont." Mr. Dale counters. "This is exactly the reason why I need to leave, Lily could be in danger right now," Damien argues. "Danger? From whom? And what danger would Lily herself be in while you're gone?" Mr. Dale asks, raising his eyebrows. "From someone who wants to kill her," Damien says, staring straight into Mr. Dale's eyes. "Someone who wants to kill both of us." "Young man," Mr. Dale sighs, "Have you not realized that this woman you love so much is in danger because of you?" Mr. Dale asks. "Because of me? That's ridiculous!" "Is it though? This girl, Lily, has done nothing to you other than be herself." Mr. Dale continues. Damien's eyes widen slightly. His blood ran cold and his breath became heavy. How could he forget that the only way to cure her i
A knock at the door startled her. She turned towards it and saw the maid standing there. "Are you coming downstairs, Ms. Baker?" asked the maid, trying hard to keep her tone calm. "I'll be down a second, just... give me q moment" Lily stammers, as she gathers her composure. This might be the most horrible idea she has had to come up with, but it's worth a shot, right? She sighs and runs a hand through her hair. Maybe I should've gone to my parents'. Her mother is probably already on her way home, but her dad would likely stay over at some club or other until late into the night. Lily shakes her head, clearing her mind. She couldn't let her thoughts wander to the past anymore. As she gazes up to the mirror infront of her from the wash basin, she lets outa deep sigh. Damien would definitely be running his mouth on her for her stupid idea, but she knows deep inside her that this person's the only one that could potentially help her find him. If there's one person in her entire
The next day at the meeting, Xavier's family and Turner's family continued to influence every investor. They wanted investors to take their shares of Damien's company, which would drop the company's shares. The two of them seemed to show a triumphant smile for having carried out such a huge mission. They were very confident that they would succeed. But then their plan was thwarted when Damien arrived. The Xaviers and the Turners were shocked to see that. Their eyes immediately bulged. "Huh? What? Why does he come? How can?" asked Xavier in his heart. Their eyes glanced at each other while frowning as if to ask, "How did Damien come?" Who told Damien? Those were the things that they thought. At that time, Xavier and Turner were afraid that the investors there would no longer trust them and would instead trust Damien. At that time, investors immediately wanted to take their shares. "I want to take my shares from your company!" "Me, too!" Damien threatened the investors and asked t
