"How dare you barge into our apartment without permission? Who the hell do you think you are? Is this how you were trained? Do you act so rudely towards the rest of the guests who checked in into this hotel? Or do you think because we are not men we can't fight for ourselves? What were you thinking? That you would just barge in and we would fold our arms... NO, I mean spread our arms and welcome you in perpetual hugs?"None of the girls could interrupt Evelyn. She didn't look like she felt remorseful. She didn't seem like she cared that she had just done something like that. "Evelyn..."Ayisha was calling in a gentle voice but Evelyn didn't for once break the wild glare aimed at Elisa. It was strange and creepy to see Evelyn in such a foul mood. You could as well argue that none of the girls would believe that she could do something like that. All attention went from Evelyn to Elisa. Everyone was expecting what would happen. None of them could tell from Elisa's face what she might d
"Who did that to you?"He had jumped over the couch and was walking briskly towards her. "What..."She tried to hide her face but he held her arm and pulled her closer. So close that she could feel his breath all over her face. Enough to make her look him in the eyes, even if that was the last thing on her mind. He touched her cheek, tracing one of his fingers across it. "Who the fuck did this to my woman?""It's nothing."She knocked his hand off her face and walked towards her work table. "I'm here to pick something. I have something urgen to attend to."He turned. He watched her get to her table and pick what she wanted. "When did you get back? You weren't here five minutes ago when I left the office."Damien said nothing to her. All he did was stare at her. She advanced towards him. She got to him and touched his cheek with her warm palm. She kissed him softly in the lips. Pulling away, her eyes searched the corners of his. "Don't worry about this. Just a little touch of ma
Damien never thought that Elisa could feel so intimidated before the girls. She clutched at his left arm, holding it dearly. Damien looked at her, trying to read the expression her face was holding. He had a strange feeling. It was strange but soothing. It was the feeling that a lady of such a big class leaning on him. Looking unto him for protection. Perhaps he needed a little more time to adjust to the fact that he wasn't the wretched Damien he used to be. For the record, since he arrived back from the island, he could get whatever he wanted. He didn't even need to put his heart to it. All he had to do is wish for it, and the system would lead him towards actualizing the desires. When he looked away from her, his gaze was thrown at the girls. He looked from one girl to the other. He was giving them a little time to come up with whatever they had in mind. It was natural to opine that if the girls had come that far, then they must have something to say. When his gaze fell on the
He pulled the car over at the front of one of the biggest car dealerships in the country. It was the Avalyn Automobiles. She couldn't see where they were yet. The glass was tinted. He gazed at her again. She wasn't looking at him. He didn't know what to think. He looked away from her, his face thrown towards the windshield. He was not schooled in the art of dealing with women. Who amongst the men are? It was quite an expensive art which even the richest man can't afford. He goes bankrupt whenever he makes an attempt to make a purchase. He didn't make an attempt to say a word. He stepped out of the car and walked to her side. He got the door of the car and she stepped out. When she stepped out, her eyes widened. It was obvious that there was something which came as a shock to her. She looked away from the tag of the magnificent company to Damien. Her tough face softened a bit. Her gaze was inquisitive. She wanted to ask a question but she didn't. From the look of things, Damien c
WHAT THE HELL IS HE DOING HERE?Was one of the multiple questions which Damien would love to ask Mr Colton. He had never thought that he could randomly walk into him. It was also strange to meet under such a circumstance. Mr Colton looked smitten. It was reasonable. He had just watched his sister pull away from a lad, in deep kisses. Of course he would need some sort of explanation. Truth be told, Damien wasn't so good at such topics and arts like these. These were the kinda corners where he made a mess of himself. But this time, he would try not to ruin things or make it complicated. Not for himself but his woman. "It's good to see you again, sir."He started, reaching out his hand to shake Mr Colton. Then he recalled that the last he met with the man, they didn't build a rapport that could make them exchange handshakes. While trying to withdraw his hand out of perpetual embarrassment which he didn't want to make obvious,"Do you know my brother?"Elisa had an inquisitive gaze dig
Damien had every reason to react with violence. Though he anticipated something close to this but he never knew that it would be thrown at him even when he was scarcely thinking of it. Or could it be that Mr Colton knows something about him? If he didn't, then why would he fancy a stealthy attack on a poor civilian? Damien was trying to wrap his head around it. Yet in the midst of all these strange thoughts which clouded his mind, something even more interesting came up. After Mr Colton's instruction aimed at beating the pulp out of him, nothing came. If there was an instruction given, shouldn't actions succeeds? But he was waiting. Waiting for what would come next. Soon enough, a strange wave of laughter came from behind him. "Huh?" Damien could fight that word out. It was something inspired by surprise. Given by everything which had just happened, he had no idea which part of it was funny. After the laugh, the strong grips pinning his body to the wall lightened and he was
"Get in car."He called without waiting for her. He walked to the driver's side and hopped in. He ignited the motion. He hated to think that his planned had been boycotted. What he really came their for had been endangered. He couldn't keep up with the intended thoughts. When she noticed that he meant what he had said, she couldn't ignore. She stepped into the car and he drove off. He tried to sort his thoughts. Of course he knew that the girls were unpredictable and could do any thing. But he never thought that they could go to that length. WHY?He wished he had an answer to that question. Why would they go to that length? They wouldn't publicly and openly embrace him and wouldn't let him be?The fact at that moment was that he didn't really care about how Elisa was feeling. All he could think of was his own rage. He felt like this was his own task to finish. Elisa was more like a supporting arc. He would toss one idea to pick another in his mind. He was thinking of the best way
Elisa stepped out of the elevator but was unwilling to take further steps which would lead her to her office. It was no lie that she had so many things that she wanted explained. But also, she knew that this was business, she didn't really want to lose her job even though a mob had come for her. But it was also disturbing, and scary to think that Damien was not on her side. He had changed so suddenly. She should be the one fuming but Damien was doing it all. She didn't know what to feel exactly. Appreciation or Sadness. Her phone chimed and she looked. It was a message from MY BRIGHTNESS. She quickly clicked it opened. FOR EVERY SECOND LOST, BE SURE YOU CAN TAKE THE RESPONSIBILITY. "That jerk."She cussed, gritting her teeth. "Is that all I meant to him? So what if he wanted to buy me a car? After all, he didn't end up buying it. Shouldn't he be with me right now if he cares?"Her face was tough and a dark line drawn by rage raced the corners of her face. She typed...FUCKING ASS
