Chapter 45: Snapped
Damian. “Good morning..” Mila greeted softly. Serena glanced at me as she sat beside me, her arms folded tightly over her chest. “Good morning..” Serena replied. She clearly had questions and I knew I’d have to deal with that later. “Anyways, as I was saying Serena..” I continued, snapping her back to the main issue on ground. “There’s no need beating around the bush anymore and playing hide and seek with the Baldwins and the Bakers..” “So you’re telling me that your sister whom you mourned is actually alive and in the custody of Preston and Rostella?” “Exactly. And what’s even worse, she doesn’t even recall who I am..” I grunted. My fists clenched beside me but Mila gently placed her palm over it, helping me ease the tension. Serena noticed it and a smirk appeared on the corner of her lips but she didn’t utter a word. “So what’s the next line of action?” She asked. I rubbed my temple with my other hand and let out a heavy sigh. “I have a few ideas, but I need time to implemen
Chapter 44: Morning rush.
DamianOur lips intertwined, not even taking a second to gasp for air. Our chests were tightly against each other, so close I could feel her heartbeat. I moved carefully, my fingers almost digging into her thighs as I held her tightly, ascending the stairs quickly to the bedroom.I longed for her, pined for her even. I didn’t know she or anyone could have such an impact on me.“Are you okay?” I asked, pulling my lips away to catch some air. She nodded immediately, finding my lips again.Soon, we reached the bedroom, and I carefully placed her on the bed; one by one, I let loose of her clothing. From her linen nightdress to her cotton underwear, now soaked. “Hurry.” She muttered.Never seen her so bold, so in control, and for a moment I paused to admire her. Her silk black hair was as free as the forest winds, cascading down her back, while some strands were glued to her forehead and her face from the heat.I took off my clothes, and carefully I let myself into the warmth between he
Chapter 43
DamianStanding by my window, I stared into the empty night. My heart raced, my eyes burned and my throat felt blocked. I spent three years of my life mourning my entire family, only to reunite with my only sister and she doesn’t even know who I am. I have no idea what Preston and Rostella must have done to her, but this guessing game is over. I don’t care what Rostella has up her sleeves, now my intentions will be made open. A sigh of frustration escaped my lips as I dug my hands into my pocket and took out my phone to call Serena. The phone rang a couple of times before she answered, her voice not rising above a whisper. “Your mission there is over Serena..” I said firmly, ignoring her greetings. “What?” She shot from the other end. “I don’t understand sir, what do you mean it’s over? We’ve barely even started the real deal..” I heard a soft knock on my door and Mila let herself in before I could turn around completely. In her hand was a bowl of soup on a tray and a warm smile
Chapter 42
DamianI couldn’t believe my eyes. I literally felt like I was in a trance and the slightest snap of my fingers would jerk me back to reality. “Ana..” I heard a familiar voice and slowly turned around, only to see the one person I never expected to see. “Rostella?” My mouth hung open as I turned back around. “Eliana?” “Ro, who is this man and how does he know my full name?” Hearing those words from my own sister’s mouth sent shivers down my spine. I stared at her from the crown of her head to the sole of her feet and I could tell I wasn’t dreaming. “Ellie what are you talking about?” I asked, my hands and knees quivering in shock. Rostella quickly pulled her away, putting up a smile on her face. “Damian you’re mistaking her for someone else, this isn’t the Eliana you know…” she urged but even in death, I can spot my sister in the midst of a million clones. I rubbed my eyes and made to go close to Eliana, but she took a step back. “Eliana don’t you remember your own brother?”
Chapter 41
Rostella Why wasn’t I excited? This has been my dream ever since Damian walked back into our lives and ruined my wedding. I prayed for this day to come so I could gloat over his downfall for the second time. But the sound of his death didn’t sing melodies in my ear anymore. Something in my stomach twisted and this time, my tears were genuine. I looked at his face, but I couldn’t find any atom of fear in his eyes. Three years of isolation really toughened him up in ways nobody even imagined. “Well… this is all you and your family has ever wanted.” Damian added and my throat burned. I didn’t want this, not anymore. “What kind of letters did the war god send Damian?” I asked. He stared at me for a while and sighed heavily. He took out his buzzing phone and immediately attended to whoever it was on the other end. He hates me all over again at this point. What a wonderful birthday gift. “Uhmm… Rostella, I’m so sorry I made you go through all that stress, but right now I’m dea
Chapter 40
Rostella I got tired of waiting around and wondering if Damian was okay when he wouldn’t even return any of my texts. I didn’t want to look thirsty and run after him even when he clearly won’t speak to me… But then what if he’s in trouble or in a bad state and can’t use his phone so he can’t reach me? This might be one of the very few chances I get to show him how much I care about him despite our differences. As I dressed up in front of the mirror, Preston walked into the room holding a gift box in his hand. “Happy birthday my love..” Preston said sweetly. My eyes watered immediately because I even forgot my own birthday. I was just too engrossed in matters concerning Damian, I almost forgot to take care of myself the way I should. “Thank you so much baby..” I whispered, wrapping my arms tightly around his neck as tears rolled down my cheeks. “Are you going somewhere?” Preston asked and I stared at the gloss in my hand. Was this even necessary? Damian will definitely not
