"Why hello, Damien" Xavier sarcastically greets him, smiling at him menacingly."What the hell are you doing here?" Damien asks, looking like he was about to strangle this man to death."Damien?" Damien turns to see Lily walking to his side."What are you doing here?" She asks, holding on to his arm then looking at who Damien was talking to."It's cute how you both are surprised to see each other here even though you now live in one roof" Xavier laughs, then receive a death glare from Damien."Lily felt more secured around me than a man who runs around like a worthless mut" Xavier scoffs, before they were now joined by Lily's mother."Mrs. Baker" Xavier greets her, nodding his head and reaching out his hand to shake hers."You've never seized to be absolutely delightful, my boy " Mrs. Baker chirps, then side eyes Damien with disgust."I see you've come through with my husband's agreement" Mrs. Baker says, her tone cold and stern."I hope he didn't forget to tell you how every year the
The blaring sound of the stage almost had Damien's ears ring. As he walks up to the center with Eric following along, the music dies down and it immediately caught the royal couple's attention."Now, first up. Let me introduce the man that made everything possible, the executive manager of Silverlining Corporation...Please give a warm round of applause for Mr. Eric Baker!" The MC announces.The audience erupted in a roar of applause and cheer, Eric steps up to the front and waves before speaking through the mic."Goodevening everyone" Eric says, his tone was warm and welcoming. Superficial as Damien would detect."I'm honoured to be here to present my company that has stood for over more than a decade" Eric says, facing the crowd with his hand over his chest."The company, Silverlining Corporation, has always been keeping their one rule as top priority," He continues then faces the royal couple."And that is to capture the essence of desire our clients ask for" Eric says, then smiles
Cornelius Baker furiously walked behind the royal couple, Fahim stops infront of the model who had the necklace and asked to have it politely. "Your majesties, are you sure you'd want a design like that?" Mr. Baker asks, looking over the Sultan's shoulder."Why, is there something wrong?" The Sultan asks, looking worriedly at him."Not at all, but you see, SEC is our opening branch... So I would just like you to know that it is also part of Silverlining" Mr. Baker lied, smiling at them."Is that so?" Fahim says, looking intrigued as the model helped lock the necklace on the queen."Yes," Mr. Baker nods, still maintaining composure."Then why hold such event and have two different seemingly opposing men spoke about their design like that?" The Sultan asks."It's part of our advertising experiment, we're greatly sorry for the confusion it has caused" Mr. Baker explains, moving his hand around whilst speaking."But of couse if you change your mind" But before he could move closer to the
Lily had managed to avoid the entire ballroom during the majority of the day, mainly due to the fact the guards were following her every move. She was also quite worried about the whole 'deal' Mr. Baker mentioned to her awhile ago. Not knowing what was gonna happen, and feeling uneasy."Lily, love?" The door knocks, a voice too familiar to her."Xavier go away" Lily says, remaining sitted in the lounge room."But Lily..." His voice becomes desperate as he tries to open the door."Go away!" Lily said angrily, standing up from her seat.She opens the door angrily and stands infront of Xavier, glaring at him angrily."I want to apologize, I know I shouldn't have come here, but" Xavier says , looking around the room nervously."Do you think you can just show up here and act like nothing happened!? Are you out of your mind!?" Lily shouts, angry as she crosses her arms across her chest."This isn't what I meant! We were supposed to be together!" Xavier replied, looking hurt."You want me be
The long drive to the mansion was expectedly long, Lily sat quiet in the car with Damien. Felixia and the others were driving on a separate car upfront to give them some privacy."Why were you out at the party without texting me?" Damien asks, looking over at Lily."Dad had told me beforehand, even before telling you of his plan " Lily says, still not taking her eyes off the window."Can you stop keeping secrets from me?" Damien huffs, still not taking his eyes off of her."Says the person who's actually fucking rich, the cash got into his head" Lily scoffs at him.It wasn't long before they arrived at the mansion. Felixia pulled up outside the front door to allow the others to exit first. When they exited the car, Felixia drove off without another word. Damien took a deep breath before opening the car door and stepping out. Lily got out after him and walked inside, Damien following closely behind. The moment she entered the mansion, she immediately stormed off upstairs to the bedroo
"To love you?" Lily turns to face him, his eyes glistened against the lights frim the television show."You don't have to say it... Or even show it if you can't " Damien says, reaching over to hold both of her hands."But all I'm asking is for you to love me back, because why else would I give all that effort to have you?" He says, looking deeply into her eyes and holding her tight."I love you, Lily Baker" Damien says."You don't have to say it back, but if you can show me that you do... Then don't hold back" He says, before looking down at her lips.Lily could feel the tension building up between them. The cold breeze rushing in the balcony doors came in and brushed against her body. Damien felt the same way and he wanted to close the gap between his and her body. Lily looked back down on his lips, her mouth gaping to touch his. Damien couldn't help but bite his, but it wasn't long until Lily leans in and kissing him tenderly.Damien snakes his hand around her waist, holding her ag
As the morning gleam peak through the windows of their rooms, Lily groans softly against Damien's chest. Looking up they both giggles, Damien lean to place a sweet kiss on her forehead."Goodmorning, my beautiful wife" Damien greets her with a warm smile."Goodmorning, my handsome husband" Lily replies, smiling widely at him and tracing her fingers on his nipple."You seem giddy, did something happen last night?" Damien laughs making, making Lily roll her eyes."I don't know, I think I might need you to help me recall..." Lily says, pushing herself up and crawling up to kiss him.Suddenly, breaking their moment, a loud crash erupts from outside their room. Porcelain like objects came crashing down from outside, and a woman was yelling at the top of her lungs."For the love of christ!" The woman yells.Damien hurriedly hops off the bed and slides into his dress pants, then wraps himself around with a robe. Walking over to the door, he opens to see Alexia running inside the room and clo
"Mr. Xavier, Mrs. Turner has come to see you" Karen knocks on the door. Xavier sat on his office chair as accounting staff sucked him off under the desk. The blondie wiped her mouth, crawled out her spot. "Give me a minute" Xavier yells, before helping the accountant with her skirt and escorting her out the door. Karen and Elisa stood by the door with a raised eyebrow and judgingly looked at the accountant as she left. "I'll have a word with you later, Sally" Xavier whispers to her and receiving a smirk before finally leaving. Xavier gestures Elisa to walk inside his office and Karen closing the door behind. Xavier leans on his desk, slightly half sat at the edge. "Have you had any news about our latest investments from Silverlining?" Mrs. Turner asks, walking up to Xavier menacingly. "I have..." Xavier nervously says, coughing to clear his throat. "And what have sought to do about it?" She asks, tracing her finger on top of his tie. "Could... Could you stop that?" Xavier as
