Hmmmm wahala dey,.. Continue!!!

chapter 2. By Jennifer Owens. . Damon . “so Mr Saltzman, tell me why you married me when you don’t love me “she asked bluntly. I sighed and ran my hand through my hair. This woman is really something. “well… I… Uhm” I stuttered. How do I tell her? What if she leaves after finding out the truth? I would be doomed. “speak up ” she ordered sternly. “coz I need you and love you ” I lied and she burst out laughing. “I truly do love you, I know it sounds awkward but I love you ” I lied, trying to coax her. “don’t gimme that shit, tell me now ” she ordered. OK she’s not buying it. “I’ve already told you, it’s because I love you ” I lied again. I can’t fall in love with someone like this. I mean she’s too cheesy and small. She’s not tall and she’s got dark circles around her eyes. Doesn’t she sleep? “Damon Harris Saltzman ” she yelled my full name. I sighed and raised my hand up in a surrender like. “well as a successful business man, I can do anything to maintain my reputation ” I paused to look at her expression, It was blank so I continued. “I got a contract, a very big one but I can only get it if I’m married ” I blurted out and her face etched with hurt. “so you married me, just so you can fool people that you’re changed and responsible ” she asked and I slowly nodded. “but why me, why does it has to be me ” she asked with a tear rolling down her cheek then many more and she’s crying. “cause you seem pretty interested in me, I mean all women are but you seem different, responsible, upholding and I knew right away that you’re the good choice ” I said truthfully. She sniffed and stood up, coming closer to me. “you married me for your own selfish reasons, you married me to maintain and uphold your reputation, just for some contract ” she said, amidst tears. ” and you acted as though you truly loved me the day you proposed to me, I’m such a fool to have fallen into your traps, such a fool ” she cried. “how could I get the thought that Damon Saltzman could change for the better, I’m such a big fool ” she cried and ran out. It wasn’t my intention to hurt her. I thought she’d be glad that someone like me married her, I mean I’ve got the looks, power, wealth, everything so what more does she want? She’s so complicated. Katharine . I ran to my room and collapsed on the floor in tears. He’s a monster, a selfish monster. He doesn’t care about anyone as long as he gets what he wants. He doesn’t care about anyone’s feelings, he’d do anything for his own selfish reasons, for his reputation, for power. How did I even come to a conclusion that I could change him? How did I fall for such a man? Katharine Eve Pearls, you’re such a gullible fool. Why am I so unlucky? Why’s my life so miserable? First with my parents and now with my husband. Yes he’s got the money, fame, power and all but the love and care I’ve been craving for isn’t there, it’s still not with me. I wiped my tears and got off the floor. Since I’m not needed here, I’ll just leave. I went to my wardrobe and packed all my things. I can live it through all by myself, come what may. I wiped the tears that couldn’t stop rolling down my cheeks. I carried my luggage and went downstairs. Almost at the door, I heard his selfish manly voice. “stop” he said, more like an order. I froze on my spot and slowly turned to look at him. He wore just a singlet, exposing his muscular arms. He wore a short that reaches just below his knees. His hair was brushed backward and his left hand on the stair hand rest. OK why am I checking him out? He stood there, his ocean blue eyes peering deep into mine. I was lost in his world that I forgot all my pains. No! I can’t be fooled by him again. I shook my head and came back to reality. He smirked and gently walked down the stairs to me. He stared awkwardly at me, not saying anything. “Stay here for some time please ” he blurted out and my eyes almost popped out of its sockets. I mean, did I hear properly? Damon Saltzman, begging? That’s a first and I feel honoured. Quit it, you don’t have to be honoured cause he’s begging, he deserve to be on his knees begging. I was so angry, so hurt. It hurts to know that you’re not needed, that you’re being used and nothing more. I wanted to slap him, hit him, yell at him but I couldn’t. I couldn’t bring myself to do it. And why’s that? Cause I love him, I fucking love him. I love this selfish monster, Damon Harris Saltzman. “please ” he said again and I sniffed. ” and why should I stay” I managed to ask, my voice barely a whisper. He looked at me hesitantly for a while and he sighed. “cause the contract hasn’t been finalized yet and if you leave, I’ll loose it ” he blurted out. “we can change this to some kind of contract between us too ” he said and I arched an eyebrow. “I mean I can pay you when we’re done with it all ” he blurted out. I’m really nothing more to him, he sees me as nothing but a means to uphold his reputation. Cut the crap, I’m leaving and won’t fall for his traps again. He can lose the contract for all I care. I wiped my tears with anger and looked up at him straight in the eyes. The anger in me melted completely when my amber eyes met with his ocean blue eyes. I forgot all I wanted to say and didn’t know when I nodded “yes”. He smiled and went back upstairs. What the fuck? Did I just agree to stay and be used? OK Katharine Eve Pearls. Why am I not able to be hard on him? Why am I so soft? Now I have to live with him, not as a wife but as a piece of trash to win a contract. And when he’s done with me, he’ll throw me out of his life for good. The sooner I learn to forget my feelings for him, the better for me. Now is time to start a whole new life. A life of pretence. I would be able to do this much for my love. At least he’ll be happy. I just hope everything goes well. . . T. B. C By Jennifer Owens

By Jennifer Owens. . Katharine . I still can’t believe I foolishly accepted to stay and help Damon with his work. I just couldn’t refuse him and now I’m stuck up here. I left my luggage at the edge of my bed and laid on my bed. I’m too tired to rearrange my clothes back in the wardrobe. I closed my eyes and slept off. And I woke up the next day with a slight headache. I yawned, got down from my bed and went to do my morning routine. Done with my morning routine, I went downstairs and met Damon at the dinning. Hé waved at me and I rolled my eyes. So dramatic. He acts as if last night never happened ___ as if nothing happened. “come sit your butt for breakfast ” he said and I walked over to him at the dinning. “is this breakfast ” I scoffed. “yeah ” he replied. It was just pizza and wine. Wine in the morning, what a good diet. Too hungry to argue, I sat down and stuffed some pizzas into my mouth. “why are you staring intently at me ” I asked with my mouth full as Damon stare at me. I mean if it’s the way I’m eating then duh! Last night I didn’t eat anything at the function and when we came home, I couldn’t eat after all the heart breaking words Damon said so I’m damn hungry. “so about the contract or whatever you call it ” I said and his head snapped up at me. Tch! What does he think I want to say? “let’s emphasize more on the contract, I mean the one between us ” I blurted out and he held a blank expression. “so you want payment ” he said and I nodded. “after all, marriage is just a legal paper signed and we can also sign some papers to break if off ” he blurted out and I sucked in a breath. I know that and he don’t have to remind me that I’m nothing to him. Our marriage was just legal formalities and nothing more. “yup ” I said with a fake smile. I’m really nothing more to this man. “OK I’ll get everything in paper and we’ll sign it. I’ll pay for as long as you stay for the contract and when we’re done, well sign the divorce papers “he said with no glimpse of guilt and I nodded. He gulped down the remains of the wine in his glass and went over to a couch to sit. He brought out his phone to make calls and I focused on my food. I’m too hungry to care about his phone calls. After eating all the pizzas and flushing it with the wine, I discarded the pizza box and cleared the table. The door bell rang and Damon and I glanced at each other. He sat still not ready to get his butt off that couch so I went to get the door. “good day ma’am, these are for Mr Saltzman ” a boy in his 20s said, handing me some documents. “thanks “I said and closed the door. I walked over to Damon and dropped the files on the table in front of him. “it should be “ours ” he said and I arched an eyebrow. “sit your pretty ass on the couch ” he ordered and I sat opposite him. He took one of the files and gave it to me. The file was for our agreement, statement or contract, whatever it is. I’ll be paid for as long as I stay here and that’s for as long as the contract he wants, lasts. He’ll pay 15,000 $ a month and the money will be transferred to my account. I forced a smile and looked up to Damon. “is it okay ” he asked. “of course, I’m fine with the pay ” I said with the forced smile. “OK then sign it ” he said. I picked up the pen that laid on the table and signed the document. He arranged the files and got up to leave. I stood up to go to my room but missed my step and almost fell but Damon’s strong arms caught me just in time. I breathed out a relief cause had I hit my butt on the tiled floor, I might even be hospitalized. He held me close to his chest as I tried to calm my breath. “are you alright? ” he asked, his arm still wrapped around me. I was so lost in him that I could stay like this all day. I breathe in his scent, staring at his hard broad chest. I was trying hard not to run my hands down his chest. I thought I’d finally have him after marrying him but no! “are you alright? ” he asked again and I looked at him from my lashes. My eyes drifted to his lips and before I knew it, my lips were on his. I kissed him gently with my hands on his chest. I thought he’d pull away but he reciprocated and our lips moved in perfect sync. He pulled me closer to his hard body and roughly grabbed my hips making a moan escape from the back of my throat. He asked for entrance and I gladly opened up to him. He slid in his tongue, teasing me. Oh jeez! He’s really to die for. Just when our make out intensified, the door bell rang. “what a perfectly perfect time ” I muttered under my breath. Damon smirked and went to get it. “Piper ” I heard Damon say. A woman with blonde hair, tiny legs and luscious breasts came in. “hey ” she said and kissed Damon. My eyes widened when Damon pulled her to him and kissed her but I kept my cool. I mean I’m just a means for him to win a contract and nothing more. The lady which I know to be Piper pulled away and her eyes landed on me. “who’s she? ” she asked as they walk closer. “hmmmmm not anyone important ” Damon said and they walked upstairs. I sucked in a long breath, blinking away the stupid tears that welled up in my eyes. I swallowed the lump I presume to be stuck in my throat and went upstairs. Passing by Damon’s room, I heard moans and I felt my heart sink. I ran to my room and collapsed on my bed. All my dreams, everything is shattered. . . T. B. C. By Jennifer Owens

By Jennifer Owens . Katharine . I groaned softly as my eyes slowly open. I looked around as the familiarity of my room settled in me. I sat up on my butt when I realized I had cried and fallen asleep on the bed. My face was tight from all the crying. I looked over to my wall clock and it was 17:50pm …… Slept that long. I washed my face in the bathroom and came out. I felt bored so I decided to call Olivia. My friend since college. We lived in the same house until I got married to Damon. “hey Olives ” I said into the phone. I expected my voice to come out with glee but it came out low and hoarse. “Katharine! ” she yelled over the phone, making me squeal. “you forgot about me, how dare you? Since you got married to that sexy Greek god of yours, you don’t even call. You’re so caught up in ecstasy that you totally forgot about your bestie. By the way how’s that sexy pant of yours doing? How was the first night? How long did he last?” She blabbed over the phone. I sucked in a breath and heaved it out. Olivia the parrot! “first of all Olives, I didn’t forget you ” I said when she finally gave me a chance to speak. “I was so caught up in my miserable shattered life that I didn’t have the chance to call you ” I blurted out and she breathed out an “oh”. “why would you say that? What happened ” she asked softly. I sighed and looked over to my table to see a present lying there. “we’ll talk when we see each other but for now I’ll hang up ” I said, eager to know what the present is. “OK take care ” she said and hung up. I went over to my table and took the present. I tore it to reveal a silver dinner gown. It’s so beautiful. “you like it ” I heard a voice and my head snapped to the door to see Damon standing there with all his glory. Why does he have to be so cute. I closed my eyes and looked away when I remembered what he’s done. “it’s for a party that the CEO of the company I want, organised ” he said but I said nothing. Just admiring the dress. “we’ll live at 19:30 so get ready ” he said and left. There’s nothing I can do. I already accepted to help him. My stomach growled and I sighed. I’ll eat at the party. I went to the bathroom and tidied up. I put on the dress, styled my hair and applied some make up. I looked at my reflection in the mirror and smiled. I’m so beautiful. I looked over to my wall clock and it was 19:25. How fast time flies. I took a matching purse with my heels and went downstairs. My mouth slightly fell open when I saw Damon in his tux. I blinked rapidly and looked away from the evil grin on his face. “let’s go ” he said and I followed him out. The ride was quite long and calm. We got to the party and alighted. Damon intertwined my hand in his arm and we dramatically walked in as lovely couples ……… Fake couples. There were cameras clicking from all angles and my legs wobbled a little. Damon noticed and slid his arm around my waist then pulled me to his side. We went to a round table where I presume all important people sat. My eyes wandered everywhere looking for something to eat and paying no attention to the boring speech that was going on. I smiled as some waiters served our table food. “what would you like ma’am ” a male waiter asked. He squatted to my mouth level so he could hear me. “just get me French fries and orange juice ” I said and he nodded. I smiled and looked over to Damon to see him glaring at the waiter. My French fries arrived and I smiled at him. I slowly ate my French fries as the activities go on. The table was cleared and a man in his 60s came to the table. I’m sure he’s the CEO of the company Damon wants. I can’t help but wonder why Damon wants this company. I mean Damon is a well known billionaire so what the hell does he wants it for? “so Damon is she the angel that captured your heart “the man said, looking over at me and Damon nodded with a fake smile. “she’s beautiful ” he complimented. “thanks ” I smiled. After the little chit chat, I felt bored when they started talking about business stuffs so I went out to catch some alone time. “hi ” I heard someone say and my head snapped up to see a cute guy. He’ll be the same age as Damon if I’m correct. “hi ” I said slowly. “can I sit with you ” he asked and I smiled giving him the hint to sit down. “I’m Ken ” he smiled. “I’m Katharine ” I smiled back. My mood lightened up with Ken’s presence. I found myself laughing at any joke he makes. I sighted Damon coming toward us and my laughter died. “we have to leave ” he said, glaring at Ken. “why? The party isn’t over yet ” I said, not wanting to leave Ken. “I don’t care, let’s leave ” he growled. I looked at Ken to see him a little shaken from the way Damon acted and the glares he’s receiving. “no ” I stated bluntly. He hissed between gritted teeth and held my arm, being gentle not to leave a bruise then he pulled me up. “let me go ” I demanded but he paid no attention as he dragged me to the car. He opened the car door and gently pushed me in. He boarded the car and drove off in high speed. We arrived home and alighted. Damon gave me a blunt look and entered the house. I wonder what’s up with him. I went up to my room, freshened up and laid on my bed. I took my phone and texted Olivia where to meet tomorrow at 10:20am. I dropped my phone and slept off. . Damon . After having a cold shower to calm my nerves, I put on my brief and laid on my bed. What’s wrong with me? Why did I behave like that? I was so angry when that waiter at the party was smiling and interacting with Katharine. I got more pissed when I saw her laughing with a guy outside and that’s why I left the party even though it was still going on. But why did I do that? It’s her life and I better stop being pokey. I sighed and laid on my bed with closed eyes, waiting patiently for sleep to envelope and partly thinking why I got so angry when I saw Katharine with that guy. . . T. B. C By Jennifer Owens

hmmmmmm,,, sorry girl... just blame it on d stupid love u hav for him...

By Jennifer Owens . . Katharine . I woke up the next day and tidied up. I went downstairs to get something to eat. I walked into the kitchen and gathered some ingredients. I’ll just eat vegetables…… Collard greens. After filling my stomach with collard greens, I left the kitchen and sat on a couch. I kept tossing and turning, feeling bored. I switched on the TV but switched it off cause I wasn’t interested. I wonder where Damon is. I hope he’s alright. I felt so disturbed and uneasy cause I don’t know where Damon is. I got up and went to his room but he wasn’t there. I checked every possible place that a human could be in the mansion but couldn’t find him. OK now I’m scared. Chill Kathe, he probably went to the office. I’ll call his office to know. But why am I so worried about him? I mean if it was me, he wouldn’t bother about my whereabouts. OK he will cause in the means to his so called company blah! And I’m also the one in love with him and he isn’t so my feelings are my problems. I took my phone to call his office but the door bell rang. He must be the one. I heaved a sigh of relief and opened the door. My hopes were shattered when I saw that blondie bimbo. What’s her name again? Pipe… No Piper.. “Damon sweetie ” she called and pushed me aside so she could come in. “come back here “I said between gritted teeth and pulled her back. Waoh! I’ve got strength! She folded her hands round her chest, glaring at me. “this house isn’t for sluts like you so get out ” I said sternly, loosing my temper every passing second. She scoffed as if my words didn’t get to her. “whatever “she seethed and tried to walk past me but I pulled her back. This time she yanked her hands off my grip, pushing me in the process and I landed on my butt. Ouch! That hurts. “listen bitch! You’re just here for the company contract and nothing more so know your limits ” she remarked. I got off the floor and pushed her hard. She groaned angrily and attempted to hit me but we heard Damon’s voice and she stopped. “Wo Wo Wo! What’s going on here ” he asked, descending the stairs. Wait! He was in the house? I think I need a nap to know everywhere in this mansion. “this bitch here slapped me ” she lied, going to Damon. She stood beside him, feigning hurt. “you’re the bitch here dweeb ” I corrected. “now Katharine, do I have to teach you to behave with visitors ” he asked and I arched an eyebrow. “special visitor ” he remarked and Piper blushed at the mention of “special “. I rolled my eyes and turned my back on them. I heard their footsteps going up and I sighed. I slumped down on the couch and a tear slid down my cheek but I quickly wiped it off. I took my phone and texted Olivia to come meet at a cafeteria right now. I climbed the stairs, heading to my room. Almost at Damon’s room, I sucked in a breath knowing I’m gonna hear moans and that’ll break me. It hurts. But what do I care? I walked past the room and to my surprise, I heard nothing. Whatever! They’d still do it anyway. After dressing up, I took my bag and left. . Damon . Piper and I went to my room and I sat on the couch while she stood, staring at me. She knew something was off, I was angry. She stood, staring at me as she waited patiently for me to speak up. “why did you push her ” I asked softly, trying very hard to surprise the anger in me. “who ” she asked innocently and I scoffed. “why did you push Katharine ” I asked between gritted teeth. “she slapped me ” she lied, defending herself. “I don’t care, just never hurt her again “I remarked sternly. “isn’t she here for the company contract only “she asked.” “of course ” “so why do you care about her, you’re starting to treat her special ” she seethed. She smiled and sat on my laps, looking at me seductively. “or is she more ” she asked. “no, she’s just for the company contract, once I get that company, I’ll trash her ” I blurted and she smiled. “good ” she said and started stripping off her clothes. . Katharine . I sat at a table beside the window, waiting patiently for Olivia. I sighted her coming towards me with that grin that reaches ears. “oh please tell me I’m not late ” she demanded and I scoffed. “has there ever been a day when Olivia Marshall is not late ” I asked and she chuckled. “now start talking ” she urged happily. “and yeah, help me talk Damon into letting me stay in your mansion ” she smiled. I rolled my eyes and laid my head on the table in frustration. “you’ll be shocked when you hear all this ” I said. “will I be in coma after hearing it ” she asked and I chuckled. “so start” she ordered. . ~ Damon ~ . “leave me Kathe, let me go ” Olivia groaned, trying to free herself from my grips. After telling her everything, she says she’s gonna go teach Damon a lesson for shattering her besties dreams and I’ve been holding her back. “what are you gonna do to him if you go there ” I asked “I’m gonna give him a piece of my mind and beat some sense into his thick skull ” she groaned. We were now the trending video in the café cause everyone’s gaze is on us. After coaxing Olivia not to go, we sat back down. “are you sure you can do this ” she asked and I nodded. ” and here I was, thinking my bestie was the most lucky girl on planet after a billionaire fell in love with her ” she sighed and I smiled. After he gets the company he wants, I’ll use the money he pays to rent a better apartment for us both ” I said “I’m always here for you okay ” she shad and I nodded. She pulled me into a hug. “I have to go now cause I just took a few mins leave from work ” she said. “hope you’ll be fine ” she asked “yeah ” We hugged for one last time and she turned to leave. “and don’t hesitate to come back home if that asshole crosses his limits ” she yelled from the entrance and I chuckled. Gosh! I totally forgot to order us something But considering she works at a restaurant, no qualms. I ordered French fries and ate. “Olivia ” someone called and I looked up to see Ken. “oh hey ” I smiled. He took a seat and ordered himself juice We chatted for quite some time, exchanged numbers and I left. I stood by the roadside, eating for a cab. “hey ” someone called, running towards me and I arched an eyebrow. He caught up with me and I breathed out an “oh” when I recognized him. It was the waiter from the party. “hey ” he said. “it’s you ” I said and he smiled. ” I’m Lance ” “Katharine ” I said and we shook hands. After exchanging numbers with him, I hailed a cab and left. It doesn’t hurt to make friends. I arrived home…. Mansion to be precise. It’s not my home. Without ringing the bell, I went in to meet Damon and Piper kissing. I coughed so they could notice me and they did. “have some respect and do it in the bed room ” I seethed and went up to my room. I freshened up and laid on my bed still full from the French fries I ate in the café. The wind howled, staring my windows against each their. I got up and closed the windows. Looks like its gonna rain heavily. The thought of it gave me goosebumps and I swallowed hard. I closed my windows and doors and made sure the room was safe. Thunder roared and I jumped in fear. Soon I heard the rain heavily with thunder roaring and lightening so I ran to hide. . Damon . I can’t help but wonder why Katharine kept making noises from her room. She screams softly and it disturbs me. I left my room and headed to hers. I knocked on her door softly but there was no reply. I tried going in but the door was locked. “Katharine open the door “I said loud enough to her hearing and I heard a little gasp. “are you alright Katharine ” I asked but no reply. “Katharine open the door ” I demanded. “no ” I heard her tiny voice. It was shaky and hoarse. Wait! Is she scared? Scared of the rain? “open the door Katharine, you don’t have to be scared “I said, trying to coax her to open the door. “just open the door ” I hit the door hard and I heard her faint gasp. She’s never gonna open the door like this. I sighed and went to get the spare key from the store room. I came back and opened the door. I entered to find her bed empty. Did she leave? “Katharine ” I called got no reply. Thunder roared and I heard her gasp. Wait! Did I hear correctly where the gasp came from? I turned around and squatter down to see Katharine under the bed, trembling like crazy. I wanted to laugh but she’d kill me if I even let out a chuckle. She’s so scared and her facial expression is…. God! So funny! “come here ” I said and she nodded negatively. “I’m here with you, nothing’s gonna happen ” I assured trying to take her hand in mine but she flinched. “what if the lightening strike the windows and… And… ” she panted softly and I admired her expression. She’s so cute. “ssshhhh nothing’s gonna happen to you ” I said and took her hand. I slowly brought her out and carried her, bridal style. She curled up in my arms and I held her tight. I took her to my room and held me tight when she saw my room. My windows were open and we could see the rain and thunder in a blur. “ssshhhh ” I cooed her and kissed her forehead. I gently laid her on the bed and closed the windows, fell the curtains, locked the door and dimmed the lights. I laid beside her and pulled her close to me with my hands wrapped tight around her protectively. Her body relaxed in my arms and soon she was fast asleep. I tried admiring her more as she slept but my eyelids got heavy and I slept off. . ~ Katharine ~ . I groaned softly as I pressed closer into the warm pillow. Wait! My pillow isn’t this hard!. I slightly opened an eye to see Damon. His hands wrapped tight around me. Gosh! How did I get here? I sat up slowly and sighed. The only thing I remember is “it was raining and I hid under my bed cause of the thunder and Damon cane to take me to his room and… And that’s all I remember. I gasped softly when I noticed I was just in my singlet and the sweater I wore was on the floor. Did we… Did we have……. I mean did he rape me? I looked over to him and gasped again when I saw his bare chest. He was just in his brief. Why’s my sweater on the floor? And why’s he just in his brief? That means we… Oh my God! . . T. B. C By Jennifer Owens

By Jennifer Owens . . That means we…. Oh my God! I panted softly as anger boil in me. Gosh! I’ve got smokes coming outta my ears. “get up ” I yelled and hit him with the pillow as tears strolled down my cheeks. “get you sophisticated dweeb ” I cried, still hitting him with the pillow. I hit him hard on the face and he sprung up. “what the…. ” he was saying but trailed off when he saw my facial expression. “please don’t gimme that look of ” you wanna eat me raw “he seethed and I burst out in tears. His eyes widened in shock as he stared at me. I can’t believe I lost my virginity on a contract!!! I wiped my tears as anger rise in me. “you vagabond ” I cursed as I hit him with the pillow. He sprung up and ran round the room in just his brief. “you raped me ” I blurted out and he came to an halt. “you educated idiot “I cursed as he stood frozen on his spot. He burst out laughing and I got angrier. “you took advantage of me and you find it funny ” I asked, not believing my eyes and ears. “chill I didn’t do anything, nothing happened “he blurted out. “If nothing happened then why the fuck is my sweater on the floor and why the hell are you just in your brief ” I cried. “calm down Katharine, just calm down “he said and I relaxed a bit. “start talking ” I ordered and he sighed. “do you feel sore “he asked OK that’s a good question and I didn’t think of that. I’m a virgin and we had sex, I’d feel sore but I feel normal. I nodded negatively as my face turn red in embarrassment. “I didn’t read advantage of you as you put it, you were freaking out last night so I brought you here to calm you. Late in the night, you kept tossing and turning cause you were starting to heat up so there, I took off your sweater ” he explained and I looked down in embarrassment. “and I’m in my brief cause I always sleep in just my brief” he added. I felt so embarrassed to look up at him so I just stared at the floor. I felt a warm hand raised up my chin and my amber eyes met with his blue ones. “I wouldn’t do anything you’d not want to do “he said softly. We stared at each other and ur was starting to get awkward so I looked away. “I.. I’ll got to my room ” I stuttered. Already at the door, I stopped and turned back. I took my sweater and hurried out. Phew! That…. Was… A, it was… I don’t know but it was something and my heart almost exploded. I got to my room and got ready to freshen up. My phone rang and I picked it up. “Olivia ” I breathed out. “are you in an hospital ” she asked over the phone and I arched an eyebrow though she can’t see me. “why would I be in an hospital” I asked. “it rained heavily yesterday and the thunders and lightening were quite scary so I thought you passed out which you often do whenever it rains that heavy and I know Damon doesn’t care so that’s why I called this moring to check up on you ” she blurted out. “you won’t believe this Olive but he did care ” I blurted. “what” she exclaimed. “yeah he did and I’m grateful ” I said. “OK I’ll hang up now since you’re alright, don’t wanna be late to work ” “OK bye ” I said and hung up. I freshened up and ordered myself pizza. I ate and went back to my room, feeling bored than ever. My phone rang and I smiled at the caller ID. “hey Ken ” I said into the phone. “hey! I just wanted to ask if we could catch some time together tomorrow ” he said over the phone. “are you asking me out on a date ” I asked. “that’s what it is ” he said. “hmmmm” I hummed into the phone as if contemplating. “please, I’d really be happy ” he said. I’ve not really be out on a real date, considering the man I have as an husband. Plus Ken is really fun to be with. S “OK ” I said. “so tomorrow 9:30” “fine ” I blurted out and hung up. My life! A married woman going out on a date. Well not to me, I’m not married. I’m just on a “contract”. My phone rang again and I gave a blunt look at it. It’s Lance, the waiter from the party. “hey ” I said lowly. “Kathy what’s up “he said over the phone. Hmm he’s got more enthusiasm. “I’m good, just bored to death here “I blurted out. “funny! I’d be given a leave tomorrow so I thought maybe we could spend it together ” he asked. I could sense the nervousness in his tone. Wow I feel so special today. “of course since I have nothing to do “I replied. “thanks, send your address and I’ll come get you tomorrow at 9:25” “sure, bye “I said and hung up grinning ear to ear. Wait! Did I just agree to go on a date with two guys on the same day and almost the same time? Bummer! OK who should I call to cancel now? Lance or Ken? Lance or Ken? My phone rang again, jolting me outta my reveries. “Kathe ” Olivia breathed out over the phone. “you won’t believe this olives ” I blurted out. “what ” “I’ve got dates with two cuties on the same day and the same time approximately ” I said. “cool” “what’s cool ” I asked. “never mind, you won’t believe I still got to work late and I’m to work extra hours for it ” she sighed over the phone. “sorry ” I said softly. “it’s okay, just enjoy your dates ” she blurted out, enunciating the “dates”. I chuckled and hung up. I threw my phone on the bed and laid down. I’ve never been so bored in my life! Hell yeah I have. Ever since I got married to Damon. I laid on my bed, staring at the ceiling. My eyelids got heavy so I slept off. . ~ Damon ~ . I stood at the door of Katharine, admiring her as she sleeps. Don’t get me wrong, I was passing by and saw her door open so I decided to peek a little. I didn’t know she had this beautiful side of hers. She’s so adorable when she’s scared. I wish it could rain everyday so I can get in my bed and cuddle her in my arms. Gosh Damon! Get a hold of yourself. What are you thinking? I’m sure I just wanna get her in my bed like every woman. Even if she’s not my type, there’s nothing bad in tasting her. My phone rang so I left to answer it. . ~ Katharine ~ . I yawned, stretching my stiffened body. I sat up on my bed and let my eyes wander to the wall clock. “Aaaaaahhhhhh!!! ” I screamed out my lungs when I saw it was 17:30. Gosh! I’m late for work. I sprung up, running round the room, searching for God knows what. My door flew open and Damon rushed in. “what ” he asked as I stare at him. It then dawned on me that I’m now matured and no more “working ” I sighed and slumped to the ground. “nothing ” I said lowly. “are you sure ” he asked and I looked up at him. “are you worried about me ” I asked. Don’t know why I asked but I did. “worried about you ” he scoffed. “then why did you come here when I screamed ” I asked. “cause I don’t want anything to happen to you ” he said and I stared at him. “I mean if something bad happens to you, I might loose the company contract ” he blurted out and it clicked something in me. Anger! “Asshole get out ” I ordered. “it’s my house and I take no orders “he said sternly. “but since you’re insisting and I don’t have fun staring at you, I’ll leave ” he said and walked out. Asshole! It’s almost night time already. I need to tidy up. My stomach growled and I smiled. “and I need to feed you as well ” I said, rubbing my tummy. I freshened up and put on my nightwear. I went downstairs and the aroma and of different food filled my nostril. I went to the dining and my eyes almost popped out of its sockets. So many food! I glanced at Damon to see a smirk on his face. “is there a party or what ” I asked and took a seat. He didn’t reply but took his cutlery and started eating. Tch! As if I care! I took my cultery and dug into the mashed potatoes in front of me. After filling my stomach, I belched lowly. Now that I think about it, did Damon prepare all these? I looked up at him to ask him but a lady walked in. She bowed her head to me and started clearing the table. Ah! I should’ve known. “let me help you “I offered the lady. “no it’s Kay ma’am, I’ll handle it “she declined. “I insist so I’ll help you ” I blurted out and stood up to help her. “you don’t have to do it, it’s her job and I pay her for it “Damon seethed. I paid no attention to him as I cleared the table. “leave it Katharine ” he ordered. I looked up to confront him but flinched when I saw his eyes. It was dark with anger. “it’s her job so let her do it ” he ordered and I swallowed hard. I left the dinning and ran up to my room. What a suck up snob. I laid on my bed and wasted no time falling asleep cause my stomach was full and tight. . ~ Damon ~ . Did I scare her that much? Huh! I left the dinning and went up to my room. I brought out my phone, contemplating whether or not to call Piper. I sighed and dropper my phone. I laid on my bed and before I knew it, I slept off. . ~ Katharine ~ . I woke up the next day, cold and drowsy. I rubbed my eyes, yawned and stretched. I tidied up and did my morning routine. I looked up at my clock and it was 9:10. I woke up late! I left my room and headed downstairs . Already at the stairs, I remembered. Date! I ran back to my room to dress up. After dressing up in a short gown that barely covered my knees, I did my make up and went downstairs. I met Damon in the sitting room. I stood frozen on my spot as he stared at me. “and where are you going ” he asked lowly but I could see the anger in his eyes. “Mr Saltzman, wherever I go is none of your business ” I replied boldly. “really ” he asked and stood up. The door bell rang and we looked at each other. I went to get it and Lance was standing at the porch. he smiled when he saw me. “what’s going on here ” we heard Damon’s voice behind us. Damon’s eye darkened more when he saw Lance. I think he recognize him as the waiter. We all stood at the door, glancing at one another. “Tada! ” Ken said from nowhere making me squeal and he chuckled. He noticed the tension in the air and glanced at me. “OK what’s going on here ” he asked as the four of us stare at one another. . . T. B. C By Jennifer Owens

i just wish this story will not end d same way others do end,, I wish Katherine will grow out of love with dat arrogant dude and fall in love with anoda guy, so dat dis arrogant billionaire bastard will know that it's not everything they can so get easily

By Jennifer Owens . . Continues……. We all stood there, staring at one another. “oops! Looks like I forgot to plan well for the date ” I blurted out and Damon’s eyes met mine. “but since you both are here, we could go together “I said. I looked away from Damon and tried going out but he held my hand. Lance was already trembling from the glare he’s receiving from Damon. I think the next thing on his mind now is run out but he wants to stand his ground as a man not a coward. “what do you think you’re doing? Let me go ” I seethed, trying to free myself from Damon’s grip. “I give the both of you 5 secs to get your ugly asses outta here ” Damon seethed. Within the blink of an eye, Lance was no where to be seen. I don’t blame him. “let her go ” Ken said sternly. OK now I think if I’m Ken, I’d take off my shoes and run. Damon said nothing as he stare intently at him. “Tada! 5 secs is up “he said and let go of my arm. He punched Ken so hard on the face that he fell to the ground, groaning in pain. Damon sprung towards him but I was quick to stand in front of him. “Damon stop it! What is wrong with you ” I yelled. “get outta my way Katharine ” he ordered but I stood my ground. “don’t forget I’m not really your wife. I’m just here for the contract ” I blurted out not minding Ken’s presence. His eyes softened but those softness were quickly replaced with anger. “whether or not you’re on contract, you’re still mine so move outta the way ” he said between gritted teeth. Ken already got off the floor, wiping off blood from his mouth. I could see the fear in his eyes. “I won’t ” I said sternly. “then I’ll do it myself ” he blurted out. “go on, do it ” I said. “shove me aside like I’m some piece of trash. Hurt me like I have no feelings. Common do it cause that’s what you’re good at “I said amidst tears. His eyes softened and he released his fist. “I’m just here for a contract and nothing more so stop acting like you own me Mr Saltzman ” I blurted out. I turned to Ken who stood behind me and forced him a smile. “leave Ken, we’ll talk some other time ” I said and he nodded then left. I have Damon one last glare before running up to my room. I sat on my bed and let out a sigh. I’m not gonna cry cause I’m strong. Scratch that! I’m not where near strong. I’m always that little girl life was harsh to. I’m so fragile and an emotional freak. I closed my eyes trying to suppress the pain I feel but I couldn’t so I let it all out. I cried the pains out and after some minutes, I slept off. . Damon . I watched her run up to her room in tears. I didn’t mean to hurt her or make her cry but how dare she bring bots to my house? I don’t care if we’re on contract or not, she’s still married to me so I own her. I control everything and I’ll control her life too so she’s not allowed to go on dates with other men except me. I think I need to set some rules for her to follow. I’ll do just that. . Katharine . I woke up feeling uncomfortable. I sat up on my bed and noticed I was still in the dress for the date plus my face was tight from all the crying. I shook my head and sighed when I remembered all that happened. I thought I’ll get to go on a real date and feel so special but that dick head had to ruin everything. Such a suck up snob! If I hadn’t been an idiot then I’d not been in this mess right now. I feel so weak and hungry. I tidied up and went downstairs in my nightwear. Damon was seated on the couch, staring at me but I acted like he doesn’t exist. I went to the kitchen to get something to eat but all the pots and dishes were neatly done. Instead of seeing food in them, I see my reflection. I went back to the sitting room and headed upstairs but Damon called me. He came to me and handed me a sheet of paper. I took it and it was rules to be followed by me. ☑ Don’t leave the house without my permission. ☑ As long as the contract is still on, you shouldn’t be seen with any other man. ☑ you’re my wife and should fulfill your duties. ☑ I’m your husband so I have all rites over you. ☑ if you violate any of the above rules, you’ll be severely punished. I laughed at the rules but suppressed it when my stomach growled. He went back to his seat, not saying anything. Now I regret why I signed the papers. I could just leave it half way but I don’t go back on my words. He’s my husband he says right? No problem. I went to his front, folded my hands round my chest and tapping my foot on the tiled floor. He looked up at me, his beautiful blue eyes sparkling. Why’s he so cute? He said nothing, waiting for me to speak up and I rolled my eyes. “I’m hungry ” I blurted out. “then go cook something in the kitchen ” he replied, not looking at me but at the newspaper on his hands. “I’m tired so I can’t “I seethed and his head snapped up at me. “then order pizza ” “I’m tired of filling my stomach with pizza ” I said sternly. He stared intently at me with furrowed eyebrows and sighed. He got up and took his phone from the table and ordered Chinese food. “I don’t want that either ” I pouted. “then starve ” he yelled and walked upstairs. I chuckled and sat on the couch. He’s so pissed! I think I should act like this now just to get on his nerves. I laid on the couch, waiting for the order. I switched on the TV to pass time, gently tapping my feet know the couch hand rest. The door bell rang and I sprung up to get it but sat back down. I didn’t order it so why should I get the door? I laid back down on the couch, buried my head deep into the pillow as the door bell sounded through the mansion. It kept ringing but I paid no attention to it. “are you deaf ” I heard Damon’s voice from the stairs. I sat up to look at him and my eyes almost popped out of its sockets. He stood there with just a towel wrapped around his torso. Water dripped from his hair, sliding down his chest to his abs. “drool later but are you deaf “he asked again but I said nothing. “will you please get the door ” he asked politely. “why should I? Did I order anything ” I asked rudely and he sighed. He went to the door and took the oder. “will you please pay “he asked and I scoffed. I glared and turned away. “you can leave, I’ll send the money later “he said and closed the door. He dropped the oder beside me on the couch roughly and went back upstairs. I’m trying to piss him off but I’m the one getting pissed here. I ate the food on the couch and left the empty tin on the couch. I know for sure that he’ll be pissed when he sees this, considering he’s such a clean freak. I smiled as he descended the stairs. “do I still have to tell you where the bin is ” he asked. I could see the anger in his eyes. “since you know where it is, why don’t you take it there “I asked bluntly not looking at him. I felt his hand wrapped tight around my right arm and he pulled me up. His grip tightened on my arm and I squealed. He looked down at me as if daring me to defy him again. “you don’t talk to me like that! No one dares talk to me like that! No one Katharine Eve Pearls” he said between gritted teeth, tightening his grip on my arm. OK I think I took this too far and he doesn’t even realize he’s hurting me. “you’re hurting me “I cried out and he freed my arm. I let out a breath I didn’t realise I was holding and looked at the bruise on my right arm. He noticed it and his eyes softened. “I don’t give a fuck about you okay ” I yelled and he took hold of my arm again making me gasp. “I’m your husband and you have to respect me ” he yelled. “I have rites over you so I can do what ever I want with you ” he seethed. “no you can’t ” I manage to blurt out. “yes I can and I’ll do it ” he said and crashed his lips on mine. I tried to struggle free but his grip was hell tight so I gave in. My body relaxed and I kissed him with the same rhythm. He let go of my arm and grabbed my hips, pulling me to his hard body. His erection pressed against my navel and I moaned. I wrapped my hands around his neck, holding him tight to me. He slid his into my mouth and teased me. He caressed my hips as he kissed me. He pulled me up, making me wrap my legs round his torso. He grabbed my butt and I moaned as he massaged it. I heard the door creak open and realisation hit me. What am I about to do? Now way I’m gonna loose my virginity on a contract! I’m not that cheap. He laid me down on the bed and hovered over me. He kissed the swell of my breast, caressing my body. “Damon ” I tried to call but it came at low like a moan and it seemed to turn him on more. “Damon stop it ” I managed to say out loud. “Damon stop it “I half yelled, trying to shove him off me. He held my hands up above my head with a hand and used the other hand to tear off the upper part of my nightwear, exposing my bra. I felt weak from his right grip. “Damon please stop ” I pleaded in tears but he paid no attention and he tore off the nightwear now leaving me with just my bra and panties. . T. B. C By Jennifer Owens

By Jennifer Owens . . “Damon stop it ” I cried as he trailed kisses down my neck to my cleavages. “Damon ” I yelled amidst tears and he stopped. He looked down at me with shock as if regaining his senses. “holy shit! ” he gasped and got off me. I took the duvet and covered myself with it. “Katharine I.. I.. I’m.. ” he ran his hand through his hair, frustrated I guess. He walked out and slammed the door hard. I sucked in a breath and let it out as a sigh of relief. I picked up my torn nightwear and examined it. It was my favorite nightwear and now it’s gone. Olivia got it for me on my 18th birthday saying I’m now na adult. She’ll chop off my head if she ever comes to know the nightwear was shredded. She said she really saved up for it and it was very expensive so I better start looking for a shop where they sell the exact same nightwear. Have I mentioned lately that Olivia is a crazy freak? I got off the bed and tip toed to the door. I opened the door and brought out my head. The cost was clearly so I came out and ran to my room in just my bra and pantie. Thank goodness I wore bra and I have Olivia to thank for that cause she’s always the one lecturing me to wear bra under my nightwear if I’m not in bed yet. Had I not worn a bra then… Oh my God! The thought of it alone is giving me cramps. I wore anther nightwear not bothering to take off my bra in case of anything. I laid on my bed and slept off. . ~ Damon ~ . I can’t believe I lost control. It didn’t take a second for me to break. I hate to say it but she’s kinda sexy and beautiful. Those tiny long legs of hers are very tempting. Staring at her alone gives me a hard on all day. She’s so tempting and I couldn’t stop myself from exploring. I admit I hate it when she’s with another man. She’s mine alone . I’m gonna mark her mine. . And Katharine . I woke up the next day and tidied up. I went downstairs but couldn’t find Damon. Maybe he’s still in his room or he’s gone to the office. I took my phone and ordered Italian food. After eating, I went back to my room. I felt bored and wanted to call Anna but decided against it cause she’d be at work and I don’t wanna disturb her. I called Ken and after the 4th ring, he picked up. “hey Kathe ” he said over the phone. He sounded down. “hey what’s up with you? You sound down ” He sighed over the phone and I knew something was wrong. “I lost my job “he blurted out. “wait! What? Why” I exclaimed. “no good reason, I don’t even know why. I got a call from my manager the day I left your house and just like that, he fired me ” “what kind of manger is that? So irresponsible ” I seethed. “I’ll go through the net and see if I can find you anther job ” “that’ll help a lot thanks ” he said. “OK bye “I said and hung up. I really pity Ken. I even forgot to apologize for what Damon did to him which was my sole reason for calling him. I called Lance and chuckled to myself when I remembered how he flew the other day. “Katharine ” he exclaimed over the phone. “I can sense you’re happy today so what’s the code “I asked. “more like the opposite ” he blurted out and I breathed out an “oh”. “why? What happened ” I asked curiously. “I lost my job and you won’t believe no one wants to employ me ” he blurted out lowly. Oh not again! “what happened ” I asked lowly. “I don’t even know. After I.. I.. Uhm ran away from your house, I got a call not to come to work again and I don’t know why but no one wants to employ me ” he explained. “Uhm OK, I’ll look into that ” “thanks ” “OK bye ” I hung up and threw my phone on the bed. There’s something fishy here. They both lost their jobs on the same day and that’s after leaving here. No one wants to employ Lance and that only means someone is behind this. Of course someone is behind it, considering the man I have as an husband. Damon Harris Saltzman!!! I went to Damon’s room but he wasn’t there. I called the office and that witch piper said Damon’s not in the office. If he isn’t in the house and not at the office as well so where is he? I get it! He’s in the house but I just don’t know where . That’s what happened the day Piper came here. I got so worried not knowing he was in the house all along. I went downstairs and stood in the sitting room. “Damon!! ” I yelled. “Daaamooon!!”I yelled more louder but no reply. Is he avoiding me cause of what happened last night? Huh! I hate to admit it but I want him too. I mean yeah I love him but I can’t loose my virginity to a man who just wants my body. “Damon I know you can hear me so get your ass out here this instant ” I yelled but for now reply. I smiled as an idea popped in. He likes being respected Huh? “Damon do you know you’re an idiot ” I asked. “you’re such a suck up snob and a dweeb ” I yelled and laughed to myself. OK it isn’t working. I sighed in defeat and slumped down on the couch. I grinned widely as another idea popped up. I got up and cleared my throat. Time to test my acting skills. “let ” I said in a whisper and chuckled to myself. Get your head straight girl. I ran upstairs to my room, locked the door and stood beside the entrance in a way that if the door is opened, it will cover me. “let me go! “I cried out and almost chuckled but suppressed it. “I said let me go “I cried out louder. “you’re hurting me, let me go “I cried and chuckled softly to myself. “open the door ” Damon yelled from outside and I chuckled softly. “you’re hurting me Ken, let me go “I cried louder. The door was shaking real hard. “Damon help me, he’s hurting me ” I cried. His hits on the door hardened and within secs, the door flew open. He rushed in and I immediately slammed the door, not able to lock it cause Damon half broke it. His hair was rough and his eyes a bit puffy like he didn’t sleep. But in all these, he’s still very handsome. He stared at me in shock, not believing his eyes. I grinned at him and he rolled his eyes. “leave the way ” he said softly. “what did you to Ken and Lance ” I asked. He scoffed and rolled his eyes. “leave the way Katharine “he commanded softly. “I know what you did so give them back their job “I ordered and he furrowed his brows at me. “please ” I added, showing him all my teeth. “leave the way Katharine ” he said and I got pissed. “if you don’t give them back their job, you aren’t leaving this room ” I warned and he chuckled. “you’re asking me to give the man you just use his name to scream that he’s hurting you, his job back “he smirked. He came closer to me and I bowed my head like a scared puppy. He carried me up and dropped me on my bed. Am I that light? “Damon just give them back their job ” I begged. “on one condition ” he said and I swallowed hard then nodded. “you won’t see any of them again ” he blurted out. “I can’t do that, there are my friends and what’s it to you anyway ” I asked. “fine! ” he turned to leave but I quickly held his arm. “I won’t see any of them again ” I said lowly and he smirked. “you wouldn’t even do it cause it’s in the rules and you must follow it ” he blurted out and I arched an eyebrow. “it means I’m not giving them back their job, they deserve it ” he blurted out. “Damon please ” I begged as he walked out of my room. Suck up snob! I sighed and laid on my bed, staring at the ceiling. I spent minutes doing nothing. My phone rang and I was glad at least. “yes Ken ” I said into the phone. “what did you do? I just got back my job! ” he exclaimed and I sat up on my bed. “wow that’s great ” “thanks for helping out, I’m grateful ” “no prob ” I said. I was still chatting with Ken when Lance’s call came in. “I’ve to go Ken, I have an incoming call ” I hung up and switched to Lance’s call. “what magic did you use Katharine Eve Pearls” he exclaimed over the phone. OK he knows my full name? “I just got back my job ” he exclaimed and I asked though he can’t see me. “that’s wonderful ” I commented. “thanks for whatever it is you did ” “you’re welcome “I hung up, grinning widely. He did it after all. Damon Harris Saltzman. Such a suck up snob. I smiled and headed to his room. I knocked on his door but got no reply. “Damon are you in there “I asked but got no reply. I pushed the door open and went in. It was empty so I rummaged everywhere. Where the hell did he go again? After waiting like forever, I left the room and walked through hall way. I cane to a door at the end of the east wing and pushed it open. Wow! It’s huge and.. And beautiful! There was a table and a chair, a stack of files on the table and a lamp. There were sofas in the room too. This must be Damon’s home office. But where is he? I went over to the table and sat on the soft chair like “DA BOSS” I picked up a file and went through it like a really “boss “. I dropped the files and took another one. my eyes widened in shock as k read the file. if I remember correctly, this is the same company contract Damon wants. The one he’s selfishly using me to get. And it says here that he already got the company. That means the contract between us has been kvetch but he didn’t tell me! Damon. Harris. Saltzman!! . . T. B. C By Jennifer Owens.

Hmmmmm so what are u gonna do now cuz it looks like ur contractor is gradually falling for u oo....interesting times ahead!!!

. By Jennifer Owens . . Continues…….. . What a suck up snob! If the contract has been over then why didn’t he tell me? He wants me to stay here so he can keep controlling me, so he can shatter my life. He wants to keep me tied to him but I won’t allow that. The door to the office opened and Damon came in. He stopped on his track when he saw me then furrowed his brows at me. “what are you doing” he asked sternly, coming towards me. I said nothing as I walked around the table and stood in front of him. “why didn’t you tell me the contract was over ” I asked sternly. Anger boiled in me as I thought why he’d do such a thing. “answer me ” I yelled. “listen! It’s my contract so I decide when it’ll end ” he said between gritted teeth. “your contract my foot! It’s over and I’m leaving ” I seethed and he gripped my arm, not too tight to leave a bruise. “don’t forget I’m still your husband. Contract or not, you’re going nowhere “he blurted out. “why? So you can control me? Hell no! “I yelled. “you’re right! you’re mine so I’ll control everything about you and you aren’t leaving “he seethed. I yanked my arm from his grip, pushed him and ran out of the office. What the hell gave me the thought that Damon Saltzman could change? Why did my heart had to fall in love with such a man? Those marriage certificates are the one ruining my life. How do I get Damon to sign a divorce paper? I know he only wants to see me hurt and sad. He wants me to suffer. He wants to control my life. I laid on my bed and cried. . Damon . Now she’s found out! So much for being so careless. Contract or not, she’s still married to me so I own her. No one else! I sat on a sofa and buried my head in my palms. . Olivia . Chloe and I stood beside the canter, eyeing Mr Sean. Mr Sean is the owner of the restaurant where I work. He’s kinda hot and if I’m not wrong, he’d be in his 30s. He’s muscular and quite cute. “if I can get him in my bed, I’m sure my salary will double ” I blurted out and Chloe scoffed. “too bad you won’t cause I already have him under my claws ” Chloe said sternly. “don’t be too sure yet, you’ll never know ” I said and she rolled her eyes. We got back to work and served all the customers. Chloe and I glanced at each other when Mr Sean was the only one left to be served. “I’ll serve him ” I said. “no I will ” Chloe said. I scoffed and started serving his usual order. I took the tray to go serve him but saw Chloe already serving him. What a bitch! . Katharine . I tossed and turned on my bed then opened my eyes. I sat up on my bed, yawned and stretched. My face was tight from all the tears I spilled. I went to the bathroom and freshened up. While putting on my nightwear, I heard thunder rumbling and I squealed. Someone tell me it’s not gonna rain. I rushed to my windows and closed them. I fell my curtains and sighed. I heard another thunder rumble and I gasped softly. I think I should call Olivia. I searched my bed for my phone but couldn’t find it. Where is it? My door flew open and I flinched. Damon walked in and I relaxed. His presence alone seem to make me feel safe. “what is it ” I asked. I intended my voice to come out loud and bold but it came out low like a child who was being scolded by their parents. “it’s raining so I thought.. Uhm… Maybe we could share my room” he said nervously. “I…. I don’t need your help okay? Just get out “I seethed, trembling from the thunder that kept rumbling. “is that so? Fine then ” he said and turned to leave. Thunder rumbled and I jumped in fear. “wait” I blurted out. “I.. I’ll come with you ” I said and followed him to his room. The windows in his room were closed, the curtains were lose and the lights were dimmed. I stood on my spot and watched as Damon took off his shirt and pant, leaving his boxer briefs. He laid on the bed and tapped beside him for me to lay on. I swallowed the lump I presume to be stuck in my throat and walked over to him. I laid beside him and he pulled me to his hard body. He wrapped his arm tight around me and I felt safe. Thunder rumbled again and I tensed but he held me tight and kissed my hair. “it’s okay, nothing’s gonna happen to you ” he assured. I couldn’t help but breathe in his manly scent. I ran my hand down his chest and he groaned. He took my hand and placed it on his cheek. I caressed his cheek, sliding down his cheek bone while he closed his eyes and moaned softly. His hand slid down my cheek to my cleavages then to my waist. He captured my lips in his and I reciprocated immediately. I opened up and he slid his tongue into my mouth. I ran my hand down his abs and moaned into his mouth. He slid his hand into my dress and circled my navel. He groaned and hovered over me when I pulled away to catch my breath. He feathered kissed on the swell of my breasts then sucked on the crook of my neck. He gripped my hips roughly and captured my lips in his again. He kissed between my breasts and I ran my hands down his bare back. “this need to go off ” he groaned, referring to my nightwear and I nodded. He placed his hands in between my breasts, gripped my nightdress and tore it apart. He groaned when he saw my bare breasts. He sucked my right nipple and gently fondled the other one. I moaned carelessly as his erection pressed against my navel. He trailed kisses down my breasts to my crotch and I shivered. He tore off my pantie and kissed my lips, making me shiver in pleasure. He kissed my clit, grazing his teeth on it. I felt my body come in contact with his bare erection and I groaned. When did he take off his briefs? Not that I’m complaining but when? He came back up and gently bit my earlobe. “you smell and taste good ” he whispered into my ear, causing bolts of electricity to flow through me. “tell me you want me “he demanded and I moaned “I… I want you ” I said, breathlessly. He feathered kisses down to my crotch and thrust in a finger and I screamed a little. He slid his finger in and out of me and I moaned. He pulled out his finger and cane back to to suck my breasts. “do you want me inside of you “he asked, grazing my earlobe. “yes please ” I begged. He trailed kisses back down to my waist and gently parted my thighs. He kissed my wet clit and sucked it gently. He positioned himself between me and came back to suck my erect nipples. He plunged in at once and I screamed. “gosh it hurts ” I cried out. “you’re so tight “he groaned. It was like my skin was being pricked by needles when he plunged in. “it hurts ” I cried. “sshh”he cooed and kissed away my tears. He stayed in that position, not thrusting, just sucking my nipples. He grazed my nipples and I held him tight to me. He started thrusting in and out gently and I dug my nails deep into his back, screaming. Hell it hurts. “Damon ” I cried out. “yes baby, I’m here “he moaned still thrusting in and out slowly. My stomach tightened and I clamped my thighs around him. My legs were still as my body vibrated. Damon gripped my hips, holding me in place as he thrust in and out of me. I screamed and we both came at once. We panted, gasping for air. He buried his head in the crook of my neck as he panted. He kissed me and pulled out of me then slumped down beside me. He pulled me to himself and wrapped his arm around me, panting with his eyes closed. I wanted to get up but hell, I was sore so I couldn’t. I sighed and finally slept off in his arms. I woke up few mins later and smiled at the sleeping Greek god. The thought of him using me to get a contract struck me and I swallowed hard. He got what he wanted and I don’t regret giving it to him cause I love him. I don’t regret giving him my virginity. What if I just leave? He wants to keep me here to control me. This is the only opportunity I have to leave. Should I stay and be controlled by him? Hell no! Thank God he’s been crediting my account with the money and I have more than enough to start a living. I don’t want a man who only wants my body and wants to control my life. I made a mistake by getting married to him but I can still rectify my mistake. I gently took his arm off me and got out of the bed gently cause I was damn sore. I went to the bathroom and tidied up. I tip toed to my room, completely nude and dressed up. I looked over to my wall clock and it was 5:33am. I took my phone from the drawer and called Olivia. She picked up after the second ring. “Olive, I want you to come pick me up at the mansion” I blurted out. “are you crazy? Why? ” she asked. “I’ll tell you everything later, just come pick me up with a cab and be fast “I urged. “OK OK OK ” she said and hung up. I hurriedly packed up my things and gently than ever, I rolled it downstairs. I walked out through the door then through the gate. I stood on a spot and waited patiently for Olivia. Mins later, a cab pulled in front of me and she came out. “Kathy ” she breathed out and hugged me. I kept my bags in the trunk, we boarded the cab and went home. Yes home! Olivia and I used to live together until I got married. I told Olivia everything and she’s in support of me. “I want to leave New York and start a new life, Olive ” I said and she nodded. “I want all these to be in my past ” I blurted out. “Yeah, you still have time to make your dreams come true ” she said and hugged me. “I need to lounge into an hotel cause Damon might come look for me here ” I said and she nodded. “I’ll book your ticket to California right away ” she said. She arranged all my stuffs and we took a cab to an hotel. Olivia paid the hotel bills and used her name cause Damon might track me down if I use my credit card. That shows how wicked he is. Suck up snob! “I’ll go get your ticket ” Olivia said and left the hotel room. I laid on my bed and stared at the ceiling. My life is about to change for the better. I’m as free as a bird! my phone buzzed and I looked at it. My ticked has been booked and I’ll leave at 9:30. The time is 7:48. Just some few more hours and I’ll be gone. . . T. B. C By Jennifer Owens

. By Jennifer Owens . . Damon . I smiled as I slowly opened my eyes, knowing Katharine would be by my side. I turned to my side and furrowed my brows at the empty space beside me. “Katharine ” I called, getting off the bed. She’d be in her room. I went to the bathroom and freshened up, grinning widely. I put on a short nicker and a shirt. I headed to Katharine’s room with a smile. I stood at her door, feeling nervous. I summoned courage and knocked. “Katharine, are you in there ” I asked when I got no response after the 3rd knock. I pushed the door open and went in.. Her wardrobe was open and empty. Her cosmetics were gone too. Just because her wardrobe is empty doesn’t mean she left, right? Maybe she packed all her things to the laundry. *and her cosmetics?* my subconscious asked. “she probably threw them in the bin to get new ones ” I blurted out. But hell! Who was I kidding? I couldn’t help the rate at which my heart beat. “Katharine ” I called. I checked the bathroom and the balcony but she wasn’t there. I ran downstairs and searched everywhere but couldn’t find her. She left! She left me! It occurred to me then and there that I loved her. I love her. I’ve always loved her but I was too busy being a dick to realize it. And now I’ve lost her. It’s OK. It’s fucking cool. Everything will just be fine. Hell no! Nothing will be fine if I don’t get her back, nothing! I picked up my car keys and drove to Olivia’s apartment. That’s the first place she’d go. That’s where she is. I arrived there and alighted. I pressed the doorbell repeatedly but got no response so I kicked the door open with force. I got more furious when I saw it was empty. I brought out my phone and called Katharine but it wasn’t connecting. I called Olivia instead and it was ringing but that bitch wasn’t picking up. “pick up bitch” I muttered under my breath. Where the hell should I start looking for Katharine? I can’t believe she left me. What am I saying now? I’m the one she left so yeah I have to believe it. If I hadn’t been such an asshole, I wouldn’t have lost her. I checked the time and it was 9:10. I’ll just track her location using her phone number. I got in my car and headed to a mobile detect center. . Katharine . “OK Damon has called for the nth time now, are you sure you want to do this ” Olivia asked and I rolled my eyes. “I’m trying to get rid of my feelings for him cause he’ll never learn to love me and you should support me ” I seethed and she chuckled. “5 minutes more “she announced and I sighed. “I’m really gonna miss you ” I pouted and Olivia hugged me. “stop being a baby and go live your dreams ” Olivia said, still hugging me. “I’m gonna hug you for the next 4 mins before you leave ” she said and I chuckled. We stayed like that, waiting for the final announcement. We heard the final announcement and disengaged from our girly hug. “bye ” I said as I took my luggage. She blew me a kiss and I left for the plane. I boarded the flight and sighed. “here I come California ” I said with glee as the plane moved. . ~ Damon ~ . Loress hotel was the place tracked down. I got in my car and drove there. I arrived and alighted. I ran into the hotel and went to the lady at the reception or whatever it’s called. “Katharine Eve Pearls” I said to the lady and watched as she went through her book. I know Katharine will never use my last name as hers. “none sir ” the lady blurted out, smiling. I felt like plucking those eyes of hers out when she gave me flirty looks. If she didn’t use her name then what….? Olivia, yes Olivia. “and Olivia ” I asked. “Olivia what ” she asked back. I searched my brain for her last name but arrived at nothing. “just check any Olivia that checked in this morning, bitch” I blurted out and her eyes widened at my foul language. “I’m sorry, I can’t…. ” I hit my fist on the table and she flinched. “do you know who the fuck you’re talking to “I asked and she gazed at me. Her jaw dropped with wide eyes. “Da…. Damon Saltz… ” she stopped, picked up the book and peered into it. “there was an Olivia who checked in early this morning ” she blurted out. “keys ” I demanded and she went through some bunch of keys. She handed me a key with the number 51. “but they… “she was saying but stopped when my eyes met hers. “nothing ” she shook her head and I turned to leave. “they already checked out ” I heard her mutter under her breath. No no no, it can’t be. I took the elevator and went up to room 51. I opened the door and went in. The room was neatly done and I sucked in a breath. They already left. I sighted something on the floor, beside the bed and I picked it up. It was a sim card and sure it was Katharine’s that’s why the hotel was the last place tracked down. What a… Ah I don’t know. I’m gonna murder someone and it’s none other than Olivia. That bitch! I slumped down on the floor and buried my face in my palms. My palms got wet from the tears I spilled. I really don’t wanna loose Katharine. Not now that I’ve started understanding my feelings for her. I’ll go wait for that bitch at her house. I got up and headed out. I threw the keys to its rightful place, boarded my car and drove off. . ~ Olivia ~ . My jaw dropped at the sight in front of me. My door was broken. Did robbers come in here or what? I examined the broken door with dropped jaw. I heard tires screech and I turned to see Damon. A furious Damon to be precise. I should’ve known. Who the hell could do this if not him? “where’s she ” he asked and I arched an eyebrow. “who ” I asked, feigning innocence. “don’t play dumb with me, bitch, where is she ” he yelled and I flinched. More like growled cause I’ve never seen anyone so furious like this. “I don’t know what or who you’re talking about ” I said and turned to enter my apartment. “not another step “he commanded and I didn’t know how but I stopped. I wanted to ignore him and go in but my legs wouldn’t move. Perhaps, because of the authority in his tone. He came to my front and stared deep into my eyes. “now for the last time, where.is.she “he asked sternly, breaking his words. My mouth wanted to betray me but I bit my lips gently to prevent me from blurting it all out. I sucked in a breath and let it out as a sigh then looked straight into his now dark eyes. “I.don’t.know” I blurted out, breaking my words too. He looked deep into my eyes, his dark eyes piercing deep into my brown eyes. I was trembling real bad and I almost thought I could see smoke coming outta his ears. He raised his hand and I closed my eyes, expecting a hit but felt nothing. I opened an eye to see his hands glued together, in a pleading manner. “Olivia, please tell me where Katharine is ” he begged. Wow! Damon Saltzman, begging me? I feel like the most important person on earth. “I know I’ve made mistakes but I’ll make it all up, so, please tell me where she is ” he begged and I felt something for him. Pity. But I can’t betray my best friend, not for anything. Especially, if that’s what makes her happy. Well well well, you don’t value what you have till its gone Huh? “I don’t know where she is Damon, but I can help you look for her ” I blurted out. “if Katharine left you, she must have her reasons ” I said but he said nothing. I blew out a breath and went into my apartment. I need to get this door fixed. I watched from my window as Damon fell on his knees. I heard his quiet sobs and almost ran out to tell him where Katharine had gone. I closed my windows and closed the broken door. Does this mean, he loves Katharine now? No way! That guy is so mischievous.. He acted real and in love the day he proposed to Kathy only for her to find out, he just wanted her for a contract. I shouldn’t fall for his tricks again. . Damon . I got off the ground and drove home. I went up to my room and slumped down on the bed. She left me. I buried my face in the sheets and cried. . Next_day . I stared at my reflection in the mirror and sighed. I adjusted my tie and was good to go. I took my briefcase, went out and drove off to the office. I packed my car and entered into the building. Everyone bowed as I passed them but as usual, I acted like they never existed. “good morning sexy pants ” Piper said but I walked straight into my office. I sat on my chair and tried switching on my laptop to commence work but the image of Katharine flashed in my mind. I shook my head to regain myself and switched on the laptop. This was one of the reasons I never wanted to fall in love, heart break. I tried erasing my feelings for her but couldn’t. The love I have for Katharine is uncontrollable. A knock came on my door and I didn’t respond before Piper walked in. “you look hot with unshaven jaw ” she commented but it sounded like shit, coming from someone like her. “get out “I commanded and she was taken aback. “you mean…. ” “now” I yelled. She gave me a blunt look and walked out. Katherine! I tried focusing but I couldn’t stop thinking of Katharine, our first night together, her touch. I banged the desk with my fist and rested my head on it. . Piper . I sadly walked back to my post and sat down. There were murmurs everywhere. “Mr Saltzman is back to his old self ” I heard a girl say. “he was a bit nice the last few months but now, his back to his cold self “another worker said. I sighed and rested my head on the headrest. I wonder what’s up. I’ll still get him under my claws again. . Katharine . I sat on the floor with a bowl of pop corn in between my thighs and a juice beside me. I finally left Damon. No one to order me around, to yell at me and make my heart skip. I’m a free bird and that’s why I’m celebrating with pop corn. I’ll finally live my dreams. I need to look for a job. I’ll start next week cause I just got here last night, got an apartment this morning and my stuffs are still unpacked. I need to buy my bed, couch, TV and all necessary things. I finished the pop corn, gulped down the juice and disposed them in the bin. Time to get to work! . Damon . I laid on my bed, staring at Katharine’s photo that I plastered on the wall. It’s been 3 weeks since Katharine left me but I still can’t erase her off my mind. I still can’t stop thinking of her. . Katharine . I paced back and forth in my apartment, tears streaming down my cheeks with a fucking dried throat. What am I gonna do? I picked up my phone with shaky hands and called Olivia. . Olivia . My phone rang and I was happy it was Kathy. “hey Kathe “I said into the phone. “Olivia “she called, her voice hoarse and barely above a whisper. She’s in tears! “what happened? Why are you crying? “I asked. “Olivia, I’m pregnant “she blurted out, sniffing over the phone. “jeez! Katherine, you’ve only been to California for few weeks and you already screwed someone and got pregnant “I asked. “no! ” she cried out. “it’s Damon’s child ” she blurted out. Oh God, kill me! Just when I thought everything was going well. what do we do now? “I don’t know ” she said. Did I say that out loud? Katharine is an emotional freak and she’s new to all these. I’m very sure she’s in panic mode now. “Katharine, what do you want “I asked calmly. “I don’t know ” she answered. She’s so naive. “do you want to go back to Damon and…. ” “no! ” she exclaimed, cutting me off in the process. “I don’t wanna go back to a man who feels superior over everyone, a man who wants to control and treat me like shit ” she cried out. “then abort the pregnancy ” I blurted out. “have you lost it “she yelled. “look Kathy, you have to stop being over emotional and be strong ” I said and waited for her to speak but she didn’t so I continued. “just do it and live your dreams” I added. “complications will arrive later in the future when the child starts asking for it’s father” I said and she sniffed. “be strong okay, the decision is yours ” “yeah thanks” she hung up and I let out a breath I didn’t realise I was holding. My world! . Katharine . I sat opposite doc Renae with a determined mind. If I want to abort this pregnancy, I have to undergo an operation to flush out the foetus and I’m ready. They’ll fuse a pipe inside me and through that, they’ll flush out the foetus. “are you sure ” doc Renae asked for the nth time and I nodded. I changed my clothes and laid down on the theatre bed, waiting for the operation. . . T. B. C By Jennifer Owens

Katharine, I'm begging u don't kill DAT baby,plssss!!!

. By Jennifer Owens . . Katharine . I sat on my bed, crying my eyes out. I can’t believe I.. I…. Oh my God! I can’t believe I almost killed an innocent child for some selfish reasons. Yes selfish. No reason in this world is enough to kill an innocent child. I almost made the biggest mistake of my life. FLASH BACK. . I laid on the end, waiting to be operated on. As the doc walked up to me with a syringe filled with anesthesia and I sat up. “I can’t do this, I can’t ” I blurted out and the docs glanced at one another. I got down from the bed and ran out before they could say a word. I can’t do it. I put on my normal clothes and left. PRESENT DAY . I’m gonna keep this child, love it and take very good care of it. I smiled amidst tears and rubbed my flat Tommy. The doc has advised me to take good care of myself, I shouldn’t stress myself. Thank God, the money in my account is more than enough to take care of myself. So much for doing a contract with a billionaire. I laid down on my bed and before I knew it, I slept off. . and . I woke up with a tight face and a dried throat so I went to freshen up. I went to the kitchen and ate the left overs of lasagna then drank juice. I went back to my room and sat on my bed. I picked up my phone and almost screamed when I saw 25 missed calls from Olivia. She must have been very worried, I mean very very worried. I called her back and she picked up almost immediately. “Katharine” she breathed out. “thank God you’re fine, I was dead worried ” she said over the phone. “Olivia calm down, I’m fine ” I said. ” I just slept off ” I blurted out. “well the good news is that you’re fine and the bad news is that I’m already at the air port coming to California and when I get there, I’m gonna spank you hard “she blurted out. “you’re kidding, right “I asked. “nope! And when I get there, I’m gonna beat the hell outta of you for almost giving me an heart attack “she said and I giggled. “that’s good, I feel so lonely and I need someone to take care of me ” I blurted out. “what” she asked. “nothing, just get here fast ” I said and hung up, feeling pissed. OK why am I pissed now? Maybe because she was asking too much questions. I feel so hungry. Did I just say hungry? I just ate a few mins ago. I shrugged and when to the kitchen to get myself snacks. . – and- . I woke up the next day and did my morning routine. I have to pick Olivia from the airport at 7:30 and I still got 10 mins so I’ll just watch TV. It was 7:25 so I decided to go pick her up, though I felt lazy to get my butt off the couch. I arrived at the airport at 7:55 to meet a furious Olivia, waiting patiently for me. I chuckled at her facial expression and walked up to her. “what’s so funny” she asked but I continued laughing, gaining attention. “OK I don’t know what you keep laughing about but we have to leave ” Olivia said, took my hand and we walked out. We hailed a cab to my apartment and she wowed when she saw it. There were three rooms so Olivia took one. I told Olivia everything and she supported me. “if that’s what you want and you’re happy then it’s fine with me “those are her usual words and she meant it all. Days flew by and I couldn’t be more happy that Olivia is with me. I was 4 months pregnant and my tommy was quite big. Olivia does everything, including going out to buy stuffs cause I feel ashamed to go out with a big tommy. Don’t blame me, I’m new to all these. I sat on the kitchen canter, beside a crate of egg and watched as Olivia made egg omelette rolls. . ~ Olivia ~ . Hell! I feel like I’m in hell while on earth. I do everything, literally everything while Kathy just sits her butt on the couch to watch TV and sleep all day. She’s even ashamed to come out cause of her tommy. And when we have to go for a check up at the hospital, she’ll cling to me like a cliche_________ not even sure I know what that means. If this is how pregnancy affects women then I don’t wanna get pregnant. We were at the kitchen, Kathy sat on the canter doing nothing while I made egg omelette. There was a crate of egg on the kitchen canter that Kathy couldn’t seem to take her eyes off. “use this egg this time ” she took an egg and stretched it out to me. “ok” I said and tried to take it but it slipped from my hand and landed on the tiled floor. I heard Kathy sniffing, staring down at the broken egg. “it’s broken ” she whispered and before I could figure her out, she busted out in tears. “it’s just an egg and there are lots of it in the crate “I blurted out. “it was my favorite egg ” she cried out. Favorite egg? I watched as she sat on the floor, beside the broken egg and cried. OK, I’ve said this before and I’m gonna say it again. If this is how pregnancy affects women then I don’t wanna get pregnant. I sighed, staring at Kathe who kept crying like a child. After lots of persuasion, I promised to take her shopping and that made her stop crying. Can’t believe she cried for hours just for an egg. Good thing I have a CCTV camera everywhere and in the kitchen and I’m gonna mock her with it after she gives birth. She ate some egg omelette and I led her to her room. I laid her down on her bed and she slept off immediately. I slumped down on the floor and released all the breath I couldn’t release before falling into a deep slumber. – and – I felt a warm hand on my cheel but didn’t open my eyes. “wake up ” Kathy yelled in my ear and I sprung up. “OK Kathe, you’ve succeeded in making me crazy but please don’t make me deaf “I seethed and struggled up to my feet. She wore a fled gown that hid her tommy quite well and packed her hair in ponytail. I stared at her, wondering if she was going out. As if reading my thoughts, she smiled at me and said : “you promised to take me shopping, remember? ” Aah! My world! No way I’m taking her out. I mean look at me, I’m a mess. I’ve not had time to take care of myself these few months. “but… ” I was saying but stopped when her facial expression dropped. Her eyes welled up in tears and I knew where that’ll lead to. “just hold on, I’ll freshen up and we’ll go ” I said with a forced smile and she grinned widely. I sighed and went to my room to freshen up. I freshened up and put on a short gown that hugged my body. It brought out my curves and I’m sure Kathy’s gonna get jealous. Since she’s fat, she can’t wear clothes like this. I left my hair in waves and did a light make up. I came out and she eyed me head to toe. “you look stunning ” she commented and I smiled. She looked at herself and her face dropped. I raised her chin up to look at me and I gently twitched her nose. Yeah gently cause since she got pregnant, she’s been crazy. If I nudge her gently on the arm, she’ll bust out in tears, saying it hurts. “you look beautiful just the way you are “I said and she smiled. “oh thanks Olivia ” she said in an emotional tone and hugged me. “OK don’t get emotional now, let’s go ” I took her hand and walked out cause if she gets emotional, it will lead to unstoppable tears. We arrived at California mall and Kathy couldn’t stop grinning ear to ear. “hey pretty ” someone said behind us and we turned to see a man. He’d be in his 30s, quite muscular and cute. “hey ” I smiled. “I’m Vincent ” he said and stretched his hand out for an handshake. I was about taking his hand when Kathy busted out laughing. The man arched an eyebrow at me and I stared at Kathy with a confused expression. “why’s his eyes so big ” she asked amidst laughter. The man looked at me with a mixed expression, anger and embarrassment. Truth be told, he does have big eyes. “I think I should take my leave ” “no wait” I called to him but he left. OK this is a situation where I’d have to drag Kathy back to Damon. “let’s go ” I said and she stopped laughing. “no” she blurted out. “but we already got lots of stuffs ” I said and showed her the four bags with me. “no way I’m leaving here, not now “she blurted out and headed to the escalator to go up. My world! We arrived home from the mall, late. We had dinner, freshened up and went to bed. . . 5_months_later . I stared at Kathy who was seated on the couch with her fully grown tommy. She partly laid on the couch, eating popcorn. I smiled when I remembered what I’ve been doing. The CCTV cameras and photos of Kathy. I’m gonna mock her with it later. I brought out my phone and snapped her without her awareness. I chuckled as I stared at her. She looks so funny with pregnancy. She closed her eyes and hissed in pain. “are you alright ” I asked but she said nothing. “aah” she screamed a little. I saw water run down her thighs so I sprung up to my feet. She’s in labour. “Kathy breathe, breathe ” I tried to calm her. I gently helped her up and squealed when she screamed in my ear. “deep breaths ” I said as we slowly walked out. She kept screaming as we walked out. We hailed a cab to the hospital and the nurse took her to the labour room. I sat, waiting for a good news with a pounding heart. I hope she makes it through cause it’s her first. I tapped my right foot on the tiled floor as I waited. The door to the labour room opened and the doc came out. I ran to her, expecting her to say something but she just stared at me bluntly. And why the fuck can’t I hear a baby’s cry? . . T. B. C By Jennifer Owens Drop comments oh

. By Jennifer Owens . . Continues…… 6 years later. . Olivia . Kathy, Allie and I sat at the garden, singing a lovely poem. You all must be wondering who Allie is, she’s Kathy’s daughter. She’s 5 years old and trust me when I say she’s a smart pant. I remembered the day Kathy gave birth to her, she almost gave us an heart attack. She didn’t cry at first when she came out but later did. FLASH BACK . Why the fuck can’t I hear a baby crying? I stared at the doc, waiting for her to speak up. “the…. ” she was saying but stopped when we heard a baby crying from the labour room. Awwn it must be Kathy’s baby, her voice is so tiny. “the baby’s now crying” the doc breathed out. “what do you mean ” I asked. “she wasn’t crying when she came out so we got scared ” she said and I breathed out an “oh”. “we’ll go clean her up “she said and entered the labour room and I followed suite. The baby was tiny and cute. And yeah, she’s a girl. They cleaned her up and laid her in the cradle beside her mom. “she’s so cute ” I said to Kathy who laid on her bed. “are you alright ” I asked and she nodded with a smile. After paying the bills and filling the necessary formalities, we went home. Kathy laid on her bed with her baby beside her. “have you though of a name yet ” I asked Kathy who kept staring at her baby and smiling. “yes ” she said. “Allie ” she blurted out. “that’s a beautiful name ” I complimented and she smiled. “I can’t believe I’m a mother ” she said, still grinning widely. “yeah you are “I said. “and I’m an aunt ” I blurted out and and giggled softly. “I have to go get all the necessary stuffs for the baby” I said and she gave me abloom. “I know we’ve got a lot but we’re probably still missing some “I said and she chuckled. Days flew by and Kathy and I felt blessed to have Allie with us. And I take back my statement, I don’t care how pregnancy affects women, I’d love to get pregnant. Allie was just 7 months when she started taking her first step. She’s so agile and beautiful. She’s all in one. . PRESENT DAY . We all sat at the garden, singing a lovely poem that Allie taught us. Allie was now 5 years old and she’s looks smarter than her age. Allie sprung up from her seat and ran after a butterfly, leaving us to hang the poem. Kathy and I giggled at her childish act. “she’s so beautiful like you ” I whispered into Kathy’s ear. “but she’s got Damon’s blue eyes and hair” I said and she sighed. “it’s been six years now, fucking six years and you’ve succeeded in convincing Allie that her dad travelled ” I said and she looked away. Allie had asked for her dad when she was 4 years old but Kathy kept telling her the same thing over and over again. That he travelled and he’s a very busy man. She even writes letters and gives it to Allie, saying its from her dad. “how long will you keep lying to the poor child ” I asked. “I don’t have to keep lying to her, I’ll give her a dad ” she said and I arched an eyebrow. “I’ll remarry ” she blurted out. “you know you can’t, you’re still legally married to Damon ” I reminded her. “no one would know about my past ” she half yelled. Yeah I forgot, Kathy had changed her name and identity after giving birth to Allie. She’s afraid Damon might come to know and take custody of the child. She doesn’t want her past to ruin her future. If she remains Katharine, she remains Damon’s wife so she changed her identity. She now bears Wendy Blake. I don’t know but I think Kathy is dating her boss. Oh no she isn’t but she might. They’ve gone out on a date once and she’s still contemplating whether or not to date him. Mr Prize, the CEO of DD Ltd is the boss of Kathy. Kathy’s actually his PA. He’d be the same age as Damon, muscular and hot but Damon’s more hotter, muscular and cuter. I just hope Kathy gives Damon a chance to at least know he has a daughter. . Damon . I sat on my chair in the board room with the boards members around the table. Piper presented a video of DD Ltd. They want to partner with us so we need all the info about them. We can’t just partner without knowing every info and detail about the other party. John Prize is the CEO of the company along with his PA, Wendy Blake. If we agree to partner with them, they’ll have to come to New York next week to carry out all necessary formalities. I listened as each board member spoke out their opinions. After lots of thinking and the profits included in it, we finally agreed to partner with them. I’ll call Mr Prize and they’ll come here next week. We closed the meeting and the board members left. “Damon ” Piper called, looking at me with a soft face. For the last six years that Katharine left me, I’ve still not been myself. I sometimes wish she’d come back to me but who was I kidding ? She wouldn’t want to come back to someone like me. I tried researching about her if she’s married or not but nothing comes up. There’s no info about her and I don’t wanna believe she’s dead. She can’t be. I’ve been treating Piper like I treat my workers. She’s owes no special place in my life. She’s just a slut I use to pass time. “Damon, talk to me please ” she begged but I said nothing. “let’s go back to how we were, let’s have fun like we used to ” she said, coming closer to me. She cupped my face and looked straight only my eyes. “I love you Damon “she said and brought down her face to kiss me but I pushed her away. “Piper you’re just my secretary and this is how you behave with your boss ” I asked and she stared at me. “why can’t you get it in your head that I don’t want you anymore ” I yelled. “stay within your limits “I said and got up to leave. “what did you tell me the day I asked you about Katharine “she asked and I stopped on my track. “you said you just wanted her for the contract and when you have it, you’ll trash her ” she blurted out and I closed my eyes in pain, remembering how low I thought of Katharine. “but you can’t seem to trash her, you can’t seen to trash her from your heart even after she left you “she blurted out. “it’s been six years, Damon six years and you’re still in denial, thinking she’d come back to you ” she yelled, getting pissed. “but she won’t cause she regards you as a monster ” she blurted out. “you’re still head over heels for for that trash even if she’s not with you ” she blurted out and I got pissed cause she called Katharine, trash. I wrapped my hands tight around her neck and slammed her back against the wall. “don’t you ever call Katharine trash again “I warned, choking the life out of her. “you’re right, she regards me as a monster cause that’s what I am. I won’t hesitate to choke the life out of you and neither will I hesitate in ripping out the heart of any man Katharine gets married to ” I blurted out and watched as she struggled to breathe. I released her and she slumped to the ground and gasped for air. I smirked at her and left the board room. I boarded my car and drove home. I arrived and went up to my room. I smiled as my eyes met Katharine’s photos that were all over my room. Her photos are at every angle in my room. The walls, wardrobe, mirror, bathroom, everywhere in my room. I threw my clothes on the bed and got under the shower. I came out and wore my briefs. I switched on my laptop and connected to Mr Prize. “Damon ” he called when popped up on my screen. He was seated on his couch and his laptop laid on his laps. “we’ve agreed to partner with you ” I blurted out cause I wasn’t up for a chat. “wow! That’s great. You won’t regret this Damon and… ” “just get ready to come to New York next week ” I cut him off in an harsh tone. “yeah we can even… ” I closed the laptop, preventing him from blabbering more. I dropped my laptop and laid on my bed, smiling at Katharine’s photos. Please come back to me, please. . Katharine . We were all seated on the sitting room when the door bell rang. I went to get it and almost cursed when I saw it was Mr Prize. “oh sir ” I said in a sweet tone and ushered him in. “I’ve told you to stop calling me sir, just call me John “he seethed and I smiled. “I’ll get you something ” I said and made to leave. “that’s not needed, I came here for business “he said and I sat back down on the couch. “hi Allie ” he said and Allie glanced at me then at Olivia. “hi ” she said in a low voice as if not interested. I gave her a stern look and she quickly smiled at John. “so ” I asked, gaining John’s attention. “remember the company we wanted to partner with ” he asked. “the one owned by Damon Saltzman ” I asked and he nodded with a smile. I know that company. Damon’s for many companies but this particular one ‘Winfield corporation’ was the one he used me to get. I forced a smile at John andbhsed smiled back. “they agreed to partner with us ” he blurted out and I almost failed on my breath. I’ve been praying for them to reject the offer but it seems now that my prayers were futile. “I’m so happy ” John said and I smiled. “so I just want you to get ready cause we’re going to New York next week ” he blurted out and my heart almost stopped. “is.. Is it necessary for me to come with you ” I asked. “yes, you’re my secretary” he answered and I glanced at Olivia to see a grin on her face. “OK then ” I smiled at John. John left and I cursed and cursed. “we need to have a talk ” I grabbed her hand and dragged her away from Allie. “I’m going back to New York and that too, to Damon’s company “I blurted out while Olivia kept that grin plastered to her face. “how bad is that ” I asked. “more like how great is that ” she corrected and I huffed. “I can’t go with Allie so I need you to take care of her ” I said. “hell no” she yelled and I placed my hand on her mouth to shut her. “how loud are you mad ” I asked. “no way! No! If you’re going to New York then we’re coming along ” she seethed. “you know that’s not a good idea ” “if you go to New York alone, I’ll leave Allie in California and clients NY too” she blurted out. “you can’t do that ” “dare me ” she said sternly. “OK fine! I’ll ask John if you both can come along ” “that’s more like it ” she said and kissed my cheek. She walked out, calling Allie. I called John and asked him. He’s more than OK with it since I’m cool with it. His words not mine. He’s a nice guy. Don’t know why I can’t seem to develop any feelings for him. next week and I’ll meet with the same person I’ve been running from. Damon Harris Saltzman. . . T. B. C By Jennifer Owens

. By Jennifer Owens . . Katharine . I still can’t believe it’s Monday and we’re going back to NY. Olivia was in her room packing her things while I was in Allie’s room packing hers cause I was done with homework. It was just 6:52 and we have to get to the airport by 7:30am. After helping Allie pack her things, we loaded it in the car and drove to the airport. Our house is quite far from the airport so I just hope we get there OK time. For some reason, I pray we miss our flight. Who am I losing? John would take the next available flight immediately. We arrived at the airport at 7:23 sharp to meet Mr Prize already waiting. The word “late” is not in his dictionary. We exchanged pleasantries and boarded the flight. I sat with Allie while Olivia sat with John. Just dew hours and we’d be in NY. . Damon . I sat on my dinning, eating breakfast with a smiley face. Katharine’s photo laid on the table beside my breakfast. I don’t know why but I feel lively today. For the first time in 6 years, I sat down to have a proper meal. Mr Prize would be in New York by 7:30pm and we’ll start work tomorrow. Till then, my schedules are clear. My door bell rang and I frowned. Who the hell came to visit this early morning? I don’t even remember inviting anyone to my house. I went to get the door and scowled at Piper’s presence. “you should know me well that I don’t work at home “I remarked sternly but she walked in without a word. She walked over to the dinning and picked up Katharine’s photo that laid on the table. “you’re even eating breakfast with her “she said in a mockery tone. “what do you want ” I asked, running out of patience. “Damon what happened to us ” she asked and I rolled my eyes. Here she goes again. Women are so slow complicated. You just have sex with them and they think you have something for them. “why can’t you just get it in your head that I.don’t.love.you” I asked. “but… “she was saying but stopped when I raised my hand as a signal for her to shut up. “I’ll make this less embarrassing for you, submit your resignation letter tomorrow cause if I sack you, you know that’s a shame and for you to get a job would be hard cause my company is the bes” I said and she stared at in awe. “you don’t mean it ” she whispered, her eyes welling up in tears. “you’re just my secretary but you’re crossing your limits. However, I’ll let you stay chase your brain is what I need but “I paused and looked straight into her eyes. “if you cross anymore limits, you’ll receive your termination letter in front of your doorstep” I said sternly. Tears ran down her cheeks and I huffed. So dramatic. “do I have to show you the way out” I asked in a polite voice and she stormed out. Bitch! I sat back down and glared at my food. Just like that, I’ve lost my appetite. The door bell rang again and I cursed. I opened the door to see Josh and I heaved a sigh of relief. “these the necessary formalities sir, it’s done “he said and handed me some files then left. I slammed the door and walked over to a couch to sit. There are the formalities needed for the partnership terms between my company and DD Ltd. I didn’t feel like going to the office today so I went up to my room and laid down. . Katharine . Phew! Finally we arrived in NY. A car arrived and we all got in. The driver drove us to a suite which I presume to be John’s. It’s big and beautiful. We alighted and the driver helped us to pack out things in. Allie and I share a cause she feels insecure of being alone in a strangers house as she puts it while Olivia had her own room. “we’ll meet Mr Saltzman tomorrow at 7:30am” John said and I simply nodded. We unpacked our things and freshened up afterward. Mr Prize ordered Italian food and we are before going to bed. I was in my room and from my waffle, I sighed Mr John driving out of the suite. I wonder where he’s going by this time of the night. . Damon . I laid on my bed, smiling at Katharine’s photo as usual. The door bell rang and I cursed. Can this day get any better? Without getting out of bed, I took my laptop and connected to the CCTV cameras that was outside. I sighed when I saw John, standing at my porch. “what is it John ” I asked and I watched her from my laptop how he glanced around to know where I was. “will you fucking open the door ” he asked. “I’m already in my bed and in this is no time for a visit so, I feel too lazy to get up ” I stated clearly. “Damon, I just arrived in NY and I wanted to pay you a visit cause we’re friends ” he blurted out. “just because our fathers are friends doesn’t mean we are “I corrected and he rolled his eyes. “Damon get your butt down here now “He commanded. “and I suggest you take your butt back to wherever you brought it from “I said and he sighed. I let out a sigh and went downstairs to get the door. He came in and walked over to a couch to sit. “don’t act so formal and get us a drink ” he said as I made to sit down. “why don’t you stop acting formal and get us a drink since you know your way out here “I said and he went to get it. He brought a wine and two glasses. He poured into his glass and mine too. Before I knew it, I found myself in a discussion of past stuffs with John. It was late so John decided to leave. He left and I went back to my room. I laid down on my bed and didn’t waste any time falling asleep. . I woke up the next day, very early cause I don’t like being late. Mr Prize will come with his secretary at 7:30 sharp and he knows me that if he is 1 minute late, the contract is over. I got to office by 7:00 and went through some mails to keep my busy. . Katharine . “you aren’t ready yet ” John exclaimed when he saw me in my nightdress. Oops! Seems I woke up late. He glanced at his watch then at me. “you can go sir, I’ll follow behind “I said. “it’s already 7:15 so I have to go chase Damon don’t tolerate lateness. Make sure to come fast to present the formalities ” he said and our nodded. I went to my room, freshened up and sat to get ready. I sat in front of my dressing mirror to start my make over. I’m seeing Damon after a long time so I have to look my best. Not for him. I applied cream to my soft and flawless body then did my make up. I slipped into my white suit pant and wore a white singlet. I tucked in the singlet and wore my white suit jacket. I was now dressed in an all white suit. I packed my hair on ponytail and smiled at my reflection. I look professional just like “da boss “. “holy crap ” Olivia said from the door. “everyone’s gonna loose their brain when they see you “she said as o neatly redo my ponytail. I brought out my my milk coloured stiletto and Olivia almost choked on her own her breath. “I don’t wanna look intimidated by him. I don’t wanna be the same Katharine he knew years ago ” I said as I put on my heels. I took my milky bag and swirled around to face Olivia. “done ” I blurted out and wore my dazzling eye glass. Get ready for ME Winfield corporation. . John . I arrived at Damon’s consent at 7:26 and o couldn’t be more happy. “have you become so greedy that you can’t afford an assistant if the old one already left you ” Damon said but I said nothing but took my seat opposite him. “I’m sure my secretary is more in all than yours “I said with pride. He huffed and looked away. “7:30, the board members must be already there “he said and made to leave but I held him. “please spare a little more time for my secretary to arrive ” I begged and he gave me a blunt look before taking back his seat. It was now 7:35 and Wendy was still not here. Damon couldn’t wait any longer so we went to the boardroom. I begged Damon to present their formalities first and he obliged. A girl which I knew to be Piper presented theirs and she did it perfectly well. It was time for my company to present but Wendy wasn’t here yet. Gosh! I think I’ll loose this contract. “we’re waiting for your secretary, Mr Prize ” Damon smirked. “I’m here ” we heard the most beautiful voice. We all looked at the door and our mouth fell open. I could barely even recognize Wendy. She’s so beautiful and hot in white. I recovered from my shock and went over to her. I looked back at Damon to smirk at him but he was still lost, looking at Wendy. Even his secretary, Piper was lost too. “Katharine ” Damon called. . . T. B. C By Jennifer Owens

. By Jennifer Owens . . Damon . “I’m here ” I heard the voice I’ve been dying to hear for years, Katharine’s voice. My head snapped to the door and my world stopped spinning when I met with those amber eyes. It was like time stopped and our heart beats was all I could hear. I can’t believe after all these years, she’s right in front of me. “Katharine ” I called when I finally found my tongue and John arched an eyebrow. “Katharine it’s you “I said and went to her. “I really can’t believe you came back ” I said and hugged her. I buried my face in the crook of her neck and let out all the pains I’ve been holding. I cried. She was still and didn’t hug me back. I could hear her heart pounding loud in her chest. We stayed in that position for a while until she pushed me away. “I’m sorry but do I know you ” she asked and I raised an eyebrow. “and I’m Wendy, Wendy Blake not Katharine” she corrected. “what are you saying Katharine? It’s you “I said amidst tears. “I’m sorry Mr Prize but is this Damon Saltzman that you wanna stroke a deal with? I think he’s insane ” she blurted out and the board members gasped. “Damon, what are you saying? She’s Wendy Blake, my secretary “John said. “no John, she’s Katharine and she’s my wife “I stated. “that can’t be possible cause she’s a divorcee ” John blurted out. “she’s Katharine and I know it “I said. “Piper please tell them she’s my Katharine, tell them ” I begged but she looked away. “OK I don’t know if you’re insane or not but I’m not Katharine, I’m Wendy Blake so let’s start work ” Katharine said and walked over to an empty seat. “shall I start the presentation ” she asked. “the meeting is over ” I yelled and the board members rushed out leaving Piper, John and Katharine in the room. I turned to face Katharine and the anger in me melted. She was shaken from the way I yelled. “Katharine, I know you’re upset with me, I know I’ve made unforgivable mistakes but I’m sorry, I’m sorry please forgive me “I begged. I didn’t know when my legs squatted and found myself on my knees, begging for forgiveness from Katharine. “I’m sorry, I don’t know you “she made to leave but I pulled her back. I held her tight and she struggled to free herself. “Katharine, I know it’s you, you’re just upset with me but I’ve changed, I promised “I said. “let me go “she struggled to get free from my grip but I was too strong for her. “John ” she called for him to come to her rescue I felt hurt when she called him. I’m the one to protect her cause she’s mine “Damon, let her go “John yelled but I paid no attention to him. “how can you say you don’t know me Huh ” I asked. Before I could say another word, John punched me in the face. That bastard. I sprung forward to hit him but Katharine blocked my way. She landed a slap on my cheek and I was taken aback. “why don’t you understand? I’m Wendy Blake so stop causing a commotion here please “she yelled, took John’s hand and they left. I was still recovering from the slap she gave me. Was I wrong? Isn’t she Katharine? Of course she is. No! I won’t let John take her away from me, I won’t let anyone take her from me. I rushed out and saw their car leaving. I boarded mine and followed them. They entered a suite and before I could drive in, the gate automatically locked. I got out of my car and walked to the gate. “open the gate ” I yelled. “open the damn hate ” I yelled, hitting the gate. “Katharine, please let me in “I yelled but got no response. . Katharine . “how dare Damon “Mr Prize muttered under his breath. I stormed into my room to meet Allie and Olivia. I wiped my tears slowly they wouldn’t notice. “mommy ” Allie called and ran to me. I picked her up and kissed all over her face. “we were just watching movies cause we were bored “she blurted out and I smiled. I dropped her and she back to the bed. I avoided Olivia’s gaze and went knot the bathroom. The door to the bathroom opened and Olivia came in. “Katharine, why are you crying “she asked and I hugged her. I let out all the tears I’ve been suppressing. “calm down and talk to me “she shakes dad I sniffed then wiped my tears. “Olivia, I saw him. He was pleading me to forgive him and it really hurts to see him like that ” I blurted out. “then go back to him” she said and I yanked her hands off me. “no! I don’t wanna go back to him. Just because he pleaded for me to forgive him doesn’t mean I’ll throw myself at him like I did before. I don’t wanna make any mistakes again ” I stated and she sighed. “just freshened up and calm down ” she said and I nodded. She left and I took off my clothes to bathe. . Damon . I stood outside the suite, hitting the gate and screaming for Katharine to come to me. It was getting dark and the weather seems like it was gonna rain. I was right cause it started raining and I got drenched. I brought out my phone and called John. . John . How dare Damon say Wendy is his wife? I know Wendy was married before but she said she divorced her husband. And she’s not even Katharine. We were all seated in the sitting room except Allie who was already asleep. My phone rang and I brought it out. It was Damon so I picked up. “if you don’t open this gate know the next 30 secs, you’ll regret being born to this earth” I heard Damon’s husky voice over the phone and I shivered. The line went dead and my heart skipped. Damon doesn’t give threats. He does what he says and I know what he’s capable of. “what is it ” Wendy asked. She must have noticed my facial expression. Fear was clearly visible on my face. “it was Damon, he said if I don’t open the gate in the next 30 sec, I’ll regret being on earth ” I blurted out. “I’ll got talk to him ” I said and got up to leave. “no wait, I’ll go ” Wendy said and I arched an eyebrow. “why ” I asked. Was Damon right? That Wendy is Katharine? “he’s under the impression that I’m his wife so I have to clear up everything ” she said and I nodded. “be careful ” I said and she left. . Katharine . I can’t believe Damon is still in the rain. What if he gets sick? I need to make him leave. I walked out and met him on the phone. He saw me and ended the call. I felt like hugging him, kissing him but I can’t. I have to control myself. “what do you want ” I asked, my voice was hoarse. “you ” He blurted out. “I want you back Katharine, please come back to me “he begged and I rolled my eyes. “why can’t you get it that I’m not Katharine? I’m Wendy ” I blurted out. “really ” he asked, coming closer to me. The more step he took forward, the more I stepped backward. I stopped when my band hit the wall. Our faces were inches apart and his breath was all over my face. He captured my lips in his and I shivered at his cold lips. I reciprocated and wrapped my hands around his neck. The kiss intensified and he snaked an arm round my waist and pulled me closer to him. I shivered when my warm body came in contact with his cold body. I wanted to pull away, to stop all these but my body was saying another thing. I pulled away to catch my breath and he trailed kisses down my breast. “Damon ” I moaned out. My phone rang in my pocket and I got back to my senses. “Damon stop it “I said but he continued. “Damon stop it ” I half yelled and he stopped. I liked at the caller ID and it was John. I looked away from him cause I don’t wanna get lost in those eyes of his. He pulled me roughly to him and I gasped. He gripped my arms tight that it started to hurt. “you say you’re not Katharine bit you’re affected by my touch ” he said between gritted teeth. “let go of my arm, you’re hurting me “I blurted out. “hurt? That’s exactly what I want you to feel. I want you to feel the pains I felt when you left me. The pains my heart carried. The ones I kept buried deep down inside me ” he said, still holding my arms. He’s blaming me for leaving him? Hell! I yanked my arm form his grips and stared boldly into his eyes. “don’t dare turn the tables around, Mr Saltzman ” I said boldly. “you were the one who always made me feel like I’m nothing. You only wanted me for selfish reasons. You married me just for a contract. You shattered my dreams and you’re telling me about pains? I’m the victim here Damon, so don’t you dare turn the table around ” I warned amidst tears. “I’m sorry Katharine, I regret everything. Please forgive me ” “never ” I stated. “oh really “he asked. “remember you’re still my wife so I have all rights on you ” he blurted out and I laughed. “do you have evidence “I asked and he arched an eyebrow. “you married Katharine Eve Pearls not Wendy Blake. To the world, I’m Wendy Blake and there’s no marriage records in that name ” I said and laughed to myself. “Katharine, why are you doing this ” he asked softly. “cause I want you out of my life. You’re my past so remain in the past “I blurted out bluntly. “I love you, Katharine ” he blurted out and I scoffed. “too bad I don’t “I stated. “now Damon, go back home and don’t you dare involve John in this ” I said. “it’s a warning not a plea “I remarked and walked into the suite. I entered the sitting room to meet John and Olivia still waiting for me. “everything’s fine ” I said before they could say anything and walked into my room. I laid beside Allie and Damon’s words replayed in my head. “I love you, Katharine “… He loved me? No no no, I don’t have anything to do with him. I already survived 6 years without him and I can still move on. Now because of the contract we have, we have to stay in NY for a while so Olivia would enroll Allie in a school tomorrow while John and I would go to Damon’s company for the contract. I got under the duvet and slept off. . I woke up the next day, tidied up Allie and myself then ate breakfast. John already employed a cooker. I dressed Allie up for Olivia to take her to school for enrollment and I dressed up for work. I wore a black pencil skirt and a white button up shirt. I packed my hair in ponytail and did a light make up. John and I left for Damon’s company while Olivia took Allie to enroll her in school. We arrived at his company and went to the board room. Damon wouldn’t take his gaze off me as Piper did their presentation. I tried my best in avoiding his gaze. I pretended to be concentrating in the presentation but I was dying to look at his beautiful face. It was now time for me to do ours and John winked at me. I stood up and boldly walked to the front. I did my presentation and they all clapped. John gave me a thumbs up and Damon huffed at it. As if I care? I went back to my seat beside John and we waited for Damon’s decision. “I need some more time to think about this” he blurted out and I rolled my eyes. I know he’s purposely delaying the contract. The door to the board meeting opened and Allie ran in. “mommy ” she called and ran to me. Olivia!!! I glanced at Damon and he held shocked expression. . Damon . She has a daughter? . . T. B. C By Jennifer Owens

. By Jennifer Owens . . Damon . She has a daughter? She glanced at me then back at the little girl. “honey, why did you barge in like that ” she asked. “didn’t you know mommy was in an important meeting ” she asked and the girl glanced at me. She studied my face for quite a while that I started to look around if anyone noticed how she was looking at me. “I just missed you mom ” she blurted out. “Miss Wendy, you do know this is a board room for business, not for chit-chats ” I blurted out and she rolled her eyes at me. “can I excuse myself, Mr Prize ” she asked and John nodded. “common honey, let’s go out” she took the little girls hand and walked out. I can’t believe she has a daughter . That means she remarried. Gosh! “so what’s your decision, Mr Saltzman ” John asked and I glared at him. “till next week ” I blurted out. “that’s too long, I didn’t come to NY to stay you know ” he seethed. “then let’s end the contract since you don’t want it “I said and he sighed. “till next week then ” he said between gritted teeth and walked out. This is the only way I can keep Katharine in NY. I’m gonna delay this contract like forever until I win Katharine back. I don’t care if she remarried cause she’s mine. I won’t hesitate to kill anyone who comes between us. Katharine is my life and no one would take her from me. I brought out my phone and stared at Katharine’s photo that was on my phone.. She’s a beauty and she’s full of charisma. She’s a a beauty but so unforgiving. She finds it hard to let go of the past. I’ll have to make it up to her. I got up and went out. I met Katharine, Olivia, John and that little girl outside the boardroom. Olivia saw me and she tried suppressing her smile but failed miserably cause she grinned widely. Olivia tapped the little and turned her to face me. She pointed at me but Katharine quickly took the little girl from her hold. Katherine glanced at me then back at Olivia. She held her daughter’s hand and stormed out of the building. Great! I really need to talk to Olivia. John and Olivia followed Katharine out too. I went to my office and plumped down on my couch. . ~ Katharine ~ We stood outside the boardroom, talking. Olivia turned Allie away from me and I heard her say. “you see that man there ” I looked at her and noticed what she was trying to do. I yanked Allie from her and held her to myself. I can’t believe she wanted to tell Allie that Damon is her father. I took Allie’s hand and stormed out of the building and they followed. We boarded the car and drove off. Allie ran to the balcony and Olivia and I went to my room. “I can’t believe you ” I yelled and she sighed. “look Kathy, I’ve never opposed your decisions before and I’m not saying I’m gonna do that but Damon deserves to know he has a daughter ” she blurted out and I rolled my eyes. “that decision is mine to make not yours ” I stated. “I know but you’re too busy sulking over the past that you can’t see reality ” she yelled. OK this is the first time she has yelled at me. “Allie has the right to know her father, regardless of what happened in the past ” she blurted out. “I’ve always supported your every decision and I’m not saying go back to Damon but please give him a chance to know his daughter at least ” she yelled and I was already getting pissed. I turned my back on her as she continued saying non sense. She came to my front and took my hand in hers. “Kathy I know you’re hurt and I understand you, trust me. But think about Allie too, she needs a father ” she said softly and wiped the tears that were already streaming down my cheeks. She pulled me into a hug and gently patted my back. “let go of the past, Kathy ” she whispered. She disengaged from the hug and wiped my tears. “just remember that any decisions you make, will either build up Allie’s future or ruin her future ” she said. She turned to leave but stopped when we saw Allie at the door. She walked to me and hugged my thighs. “mommy, is daddy a bad person ” she asked and I glanced at Olivia. I smiled and caressed her hair. “no honey, he isn’t ” I said and she smiled. “so you’ll take me to go see him ” she asked and I looked up at Olivia. She nodded at me, telling me to say yes. “yes sweetie ” I said and she jumped up. “Yaay mom, you’re best ” she said and turned to leave. Already at the door, she came back and told me to squat and I did. “thanks mom ” she pecked my cheek and ran out. “you see how happy she is ” Olivia asked and I nodded. “she was very happy ” I said. “so will you take her to go see Damon ” Olivia asked and I put on a contemplating face. “common ” she urged. “yes. I won’t come between them but that doesn’t mean I’ll go back to him” I blurted out and she chuckled. “Kathy is now so matured ” she teased and I laughed. “well, I like that you’re strong now. You aren’t even scared of the rain again ” she said and we busted out laughing. I remembered how Olivia made me stop my fear for rain. She left and I freshened up. I tidied up Allie too and we had dinner. We all sat in the sitting room, watching a movie when John’s phone rang. He excused himself and left the siting room. . John . My phone rang and I excused myself when I saw it was Damon. I picked it up and he told me to come meet him at his house. I went out, boarded my car and drove off to his place. . Damon . I already made a decision and I just hope John agrees. That’s if he truly wants my company’s partnership. I’ll tell him that, for us to agree to partner with them, I’ll take Katharine as my PA for a month. Don’t blame me, I just wanna spend time with Katharine. The doorbell rang and I smiled. I opened the door and let him in. “sit ” I offered…. More like ordered. “I’ve decided to partner with your company ” I blurted out and his eyes lit up. “wow, that’s good ” he said. “but on one condition ” I said and his expression dropped. “your secretary will be my secretary for a month ” I blurted out and he stared at me in awe. “OK Damon, I’ve known for the first day you saw Wendy that you lust for her and that was why you put on that show that she’s your wife ” he blurted out and I smirked. “is it a deal or not ” I asked. “to hell with this contract, I love Wendy and I’m not gonna let anyone take her from me ” he blurted out and I jerked him up by his collar. “Katharine’s mine, mine alone “I growled and pushed him to the ground. “she’s my wife and I’m gonna take her back. So, Mr Prize, know your limits ” I said between gritted teeth. “Katharine’s my wife and I won’t tolerate any one going close to her ” I said sternly. He gave me a blunt look then left he house. I have to get Katharine back, anyhow. . John . I drove back home, pissed off with Damon. I can’t believe he wants to exchange Wendy with business. I love Wendy and I won’t exchange her for anything. To hell with this contract. Wendy has to tell me the truth today. There’s one thing I noticed in Damon’s eyes today, truth. He was saying the truth. I arrived and alighted. I went in to meet only Wendy, pacing back and forth. “you’re here, I was waiting for you ” she said and I nodded. “Wendy ” I called and she looked up at me. “are you Katharine ” I asked and she was taken aback. She stared at me with guilt and her gaze slowly drifted off me. She is indeed Katharine, Damon’s wife. Her silence says it all. “why didn’t you tell me ” I asked softly. “I’m sorry ” she said, already in tears. Seeing her cry weakens my soul. “you don’t have to cry Wendy, you must have a good reason for all you did ” I said and gently cupped her face. I wiped her tears with my thumb and kissed her forehead. I hugged her and gently caressed her hair. “ssh, it’s okay” I cooed. Wendy or should I say Katharine, left to her room and I went to mine. I can’t believe she’s Damon’s wife. But she doesn’t want Damon anymore and that means I stand a chance of getting her. I won’t let her go. . Katharine . I woke up the next day and tidied up. Now Allie has to go to school on Monday. I thought that idiot would finally accept our proposal but he postponed it to next week. I can’t let Allie stay at home even if it’s for a short period of time. I bathed her and dressed her up. “are we leaving now ” she asked and I arched an eyebrow. “you said you’d take me to go see dad ” she blurted out and I sighed. “look honey, mommy’s busy so another time ” I said and her facial expression dropped. “common honey, don’t put on a sad face, you know it breaks mommy’s heart to see you like this ” I said and she forced a smile. “try understanding mommy okay ” I said and she smiled widely. I kissed her forehead and told her to go have breakfast. I’ve changed my mind, I won’t take Allie to go see Damon. What if he takes her away from me? What if he demands for her custody? No no no, I can’t let that happen. It’s better to keep it a secret from him. I know what he’s capable of and I don’t wanna do anything that I’ll regret later on. I went downstairs and joined them for breakfast. Olivia and John kept glancing at me and I know why. John’s still surprised that I’m actually Katharine and that Damon was right. And Olivia, she keeps glancing at me because Allie must have told her that I wasn’t taking her to see her dad. Olivia took me aside after breakfast and I sighed, knowing well what she wants to say. “what is wrong with you Kathy ” she yelled and I rolled my eyes. “Olivia I can’t, what if he takes her away from me ” I asked and she sighed and hit her forehead. “how dumb are you? He won’t do that cause he wouldn’t want to hurt you ” she blurted out and I turned away. “you don’t know him and it’s my decision to make so no, I’m not telling Allie about him but maybe one day, I will” I said and left her. . Olivia . I need to see Damon. I brought out my phone and called him. He was surprised, I mean shocked that I called him. I told him to come meet me at a restaurant and he obliged. I left the house after telling Kathe I had some important things to do. I arrived and sighed sighted Damon at the far end of the restaurant and I chuckled. He didn’t waste any sec. I went over to him and sat opposite him. “who’s the father of that little girl? Is it John ” he asked and I sighed. “I didn’t come here to answer your questions, Mr Saltzman. I came here to talk to you ” I remarked. “do you love Kathy ” I asked. “of course, I love her a lot” he blurted out. “are you sure ” “look Olivia, I know I’m not perfect and I’ve made lots of mistakes but I regret it all ” he said and he was sincere cause I could see it in his eyes. “good! ” I commented. “well, I just wanna tell you that you shouldn’t give up on Kathy cause she still loves you ” I said and his eyes lit up. “really ” he asked and I nodded with a smile. “she just finds it hard to let go of the past and she’s acting stubborn ” I said an she nodded. “but she remarried ” he blurted out. “did she ” I asked and he arched an eyebrow. “if she didn’t remarry then how the fuck did she have a daughter ” he asked and I gave him a blunt look. He studied my expression and his eyes widened. “she’s my daughter ?” he asked and I shrugged. “I don’t know, why don’t you find out yourself ” I said and left. . Damon . My head is aching from all these. It’s possible she’s my daughter cause Katharine left 6 years ago and if I’m correct, that little girl would be 5. And it’s also possible that she’s not my daughter cause 6 years is a very long time and anything could have happened. I need answers. I picked up my car keys and left he restaurant. I boarded my car and drove to John’s suite. The gate was opened to me by a man I presumed to be the gate man. I drove in and alighted. I rang the doorbell and Kathy opened it for me. She froze when she saw me. . . T. B. C By Jennifer Owens

By Jennifer Owens . . Damon . She froze when she saw me. “what…what are you doing here ” she asked. I said nothing as I walked inside. “why? Aren’t I welcomed here ” I asked, looking from Katharine to John. “as far as I know, I have the right cause my wife leaves here ” I blurted and Katharine rolled her eyes. Katharine’s daughter ran out but stopped when she saw me. She stared at me for a while as if examining me. She came to my front and looked up at me. “are you Damon ” she asked and I glanced at Katharine. She held a surprise expression. “yes ” I nodded. She went to her mom and hugged her. Now that I’m looking at her, she has the same color of my hair and she has blue eyes just like me but she looks just like Katharine. “isn’t there any special welcome ” I asked, taking a seat. If couldn’t help but notice Katharine’s daughter’s stare. She keeps staring at me and I wonder why. Do I look strange? “come here ” I said to the little girl. She looked up at Katharine and she got the looks Kathy gave her……. Not to come to me. “oh Katharine, loosen up, I’m not gonna bite her ” I blurted out and went close to the little girl. Kathy hid the little girl behind her in a protective way. “OK Mr Saltzman, tell us why you came here and stop being pokey ” she said and I glared at her. “I just came to see you ” I blurted out. “baby, go to your room ” she told the little girl. “why should she? I wanna take her out and spend some time with her ” I said and she flared up. “no way ” she seethed and I chuckled. “well I am taking her out ” I insisted. “oh common Katharine, Damon’s not gonna bite her, he just wants to take her out ” Olivia said. “but.. ” “no buts, just let her go ” Olivia cut her short. She glanced at John and he gave her an approving nod. Well John knows me quite well so, he’s telling Kathy that her daughter would be safe with me. “what’s your name, pretty ” I asked. “Allie ” she said in a tiny voice. “come, I’ll take you out to have fun ” I said. “mommy, do you want me to go? If you don’t then I won’t ” she blurted out. Kathy smiled and ruffled her hair. “it’s okay, go have fun ” she said with a faux smile then pecked her forehead. I smiled at Allie and took her out. We boarded the car and drove out of the suite. “so where do you want us to go ” I asked. “I don’t know ” she blurted out and I glanced at her. “I mean, I don’t know cause I came to NY few days ago ” she added and I smiled. What a smarty! I drove to a restaurant and we alighted. We went in and took a table. “so what do you want ” I asked, taking the menu from her. She took it back and gave me a blunt look. “I can read ” she blurted out as if reading my mind. Wow, she’s more crazier than Katharine. She dropped it back on the table and sighed. “I’m not hungry so I’ll just have some vanilla ice cream ” she said and I nodded. I ordered vanilla ice cream too and they brought it for us. “so Allie, how old are you ” I asked. She looked at me, put a spoon full of ice cream in her mouth before replying. “I’m 5 ” she said, not looking at me. “OK ” I said. “and who’s your dad ” I asked and she stared up at me. The way she stared at me gave me goosebumps all over my body. “have you ever seen him ” I asked. “Yeah and I’ve even talked to him ” she blurted out. Great! It means I’m not her dad. “and what’s your dad’s name ” I asked. “that for me to know and for you to dot dot ” she blurted out and I was taken aback. She’s more smart than I think. I mean, which kid use those words? “oh OK ” I said simply with a faux smile. “are you done ” I asked and she nodded. “OK, let’s get you home before mom worries about you ” I said and she nodded. I ruffled her hair and got a strand from it. It won’t hurt to run a DNA test, right? We left the restaurant and I drove her back home. “I’ll come another time, okay ” I said and she nodded. I smiled at Kathy and left. I’m one step closer to winning her back. I went straight to the hospital and had doctor Mike do DNA test. He’ll bring it to my house once it’s out. I drove back home and freshened up. I did already work at home and went to sleep. . Katharine . When Damon took Allie out, I wasn’t at rest . She came back and I couldn’t be more glad. Damon left and I took Allie to freshen her up. I asked how the day went and she said good. I really have to stop letting my past rule me. Allie deserves to know her father. I can’t come between them cause of my past. She has nothing to do with it so I won’t let her suffer it. We had dinner and went to bed. . Olivia . I think Kathy is loosening up. She even let Allie go with Damon. She’ll soon spit out the truth. . Damon . I’m so pissed right now. How dare Kathy hide the truth from me? The DNA results came this morning and Allie is my daughter. I’ve made mistakes, yeah but I regret them. If John and Olivia hasn’t been there yesterday, then she’d not even let me take my own daughter. I dressed up, boarded my car and drove to John’s suite. Allie’s my daughter and I have the right to see her. I arrived and alighted. I rang the door bell and Olivia opened it. “Allie’s my daughter ” I blurted out and she smiled. “took you that long to know ” she teased and I rolled my eyes. “where’s she ” I asked. “upstairs to your left, the second room ” she said and I nodded. “thank God, John isn’t home ” I heard her mutter. I went up to the room and there she was, playing with Allie. “Allie ” I called and their head snapped to me. “you can’t take her today, we have plans ” Katharine blurted out. “I didn’t come to take her, I came for you ” I blurted out. “baby, go play out with aunt ” she said and Allie sluggishly left the room. I closed the door and sprung to her. “why didn’t you tell me she’s my daughter “I asked and she was taken aback. “what? Are you shocked that I know huh” I asked. I was really pissed now. I’ve been suffering for years cause she left me and she’s planning on hiding my daughter from me. “why Huh? You think you could hide the truth forever ” I asked, moving closer to her. The more I moved forward, the more she moved backward. I grabbed her arms and she gasped. She looked so scared and shaken from the way I looked. “why didn’t you tell me ” I yelled and she flinched. Tears streamed down her cheek and I let go of her arm. I can’t bear to see her in tears. I cursed and walked out of the room. I went to the balcony and let out all my frustrations. . Katharine . He knows. He knows now. What’s he gonna do next? He’s gonna taker her away from me. He’s gonna take me to court and…. And take her from me. No no no. I slumped to the ground and cried. “mommy ” Allie called from being and I tried suppressing my tears but failed miserably. “mommy, why are you crying ” she asked. “Allie, just go to your room, leave ” I ordered and I heard the door slam. . Damon . I was still at the balcony, trying to calm myself. “Damon ” I heard a tiny voice yell my name. I turned to see Allie, coming to me with an angry face. OK she looks scary with a face like that. “why did you make my mom cry ” she asked. Her hands were folded in a fist. Did she plan on hitting me? “she hid the truth from me ” I said in a defensive voice. “that’s not a reason to make her cry ” she seethed. “really ” I asked, getting fond of her. “yes! Her tears are too expensive ” she blurted out and I chuckled. “yes they are and I didn’t mean to make her cry but I was just upset ” I defended. “She kept me in the dark and I’m sure she did that to you too ” I said and she nodded. “I’m your father” I said softly. “I know ” she blurted out and I was taken aback. She knows? Oh God! Kill me! . . T. B. C By Jennifer Owens

I'm glad Olivia did a good job there

It's really getting interesting... Indeed de truth cannot be hidden forever!!!

I love this girl...she is soo smart

Let's see what happens next

Fire on?

By Jennifer Owens . Damon . “how did you know ” I asked, surprised that she knew. “I overheard mom and Olivia. Damon has the right to know he has a child. He deserves to know, blah blah blah ” she said, trying to mimic an adult voice and I chuckled. “so aren’t you upset with your mom ” I asked and she raised an eyebrow. Gosh! She’s really something. “why should I be ” she answered my question with another question. “cause she kept the truth from you “I blurted out and she shook her head negatively as if tired of me. “I’m not. Whatever she does is for my own good cause she loves me. She also have her own reasons ” she said and I nodded. She’s right! She must have her reasons. I just yelled at her like an idiot. “you’re so sweet and understanding “I said and made to carry her but she raised her hand as a signal for me to stop. “remember you made mommy cry, go apologize else I won’t talk to you ” she blurted out and I chuckled. What a drama queen. She folded her hands around her chest and left with an angry face. So dramatic! I wish I was there when she was growing up. I left the balcony and headed back to Katharine’s room. Don’t want both mother and daughter to gang up against me. I met Allie at the door, peeking at Katharine. “why don’t you go in ” I whispered into her ear and she flinched. She saw me and heaved a sigh of relief. “mom told me to go to my room “she whispered back and I chuckled softly. I’ve been chuckling a lot and that’s because of this angel. I went in to meet Katharine seated on the floor with face in between her thighs. I squatted to her level and gently took her hands in mine. She looked up but looked away when she noticed it was me. Her eyes were red and puffy. I used my thumb to wipe the sticky tears that were plastered on her fluffy cheeks. “I’m sorry ” I whispered and she sniffed. “I didn’t meant to hurt you okay? I was just pissed cause you kept the truth from me but now I realise you have reasons for whatever you do “I said and she looked at me. “will you take her from me ” she asked and I was taken aback. Was that why she never told me? That I’d take her daughter from her? Is that what she thinks of me?. But what do I expect her to think of me when I’ve always been a jerk to her. “I would never take her away from you or do anything that would hurt you “I said softly and her lips curved into a small smile. “but please give me a chance to spend time with her ” I demanded and she nodded. I smiled and pulled her into a hug. Allie gave me thumbs up from the door and I smiled. She smiled back and left. “please forgive me ” I whispered and she slowly pulled away from the hug. “Katharine, I’m really sorry and j regret everything I did. Just give me a chance to make it all up ” I begged. She stood up and turned her back on me. “Damon please, just give me some space ” she said and I got off the floor. “OK, I’ll just take Allie out ” I said and she nodded. I walked out and went to the sitting room. I met Allie seared on a couch and she pretended not to see me. I sat beside her and she smiled. “so angel, are you till upset with me ” I asked and she chuckled shyly. “no, not anymore ” she said and I caressed her cheek. “wanna go out with me ” I asked. “I don’t think so ” she said. “why ” “I was enrolled in a school and I’m gonna start on Monday. I’m still lacking sine stuffs so mom and I would go get them today ” she said and I breathed out an “oh”. “come, I’ll get everything you need ” I said and she smiled. “OK ” she grinned and we went out. I took her shopping and she got all that’s needed. “would you like to see my house ” I asked and she put on a contemplating face. “yes ” she said and I smiled broadly. I’m so happy she’s getting along with me. “Damon ” she called and I looked at her. “why’s mom so upset with you ” she asked. “well, I messed up big time. I really fucked up ” I said and she gave me a blunt look that I started to think if I said anything wrong. “what ” I asked. “mom said not to use the F words ” she blurted out and I breathed out an “oh” when I remembered I just used the word “fuck”. “we’re here ” I said and drove into the drive way. “wow ” she breathed out when she saw the mansion. “did mom use to live here” she asked and I nodded. “your house is so beautiful, Damon ” she complimented and I smiled. “thanks ” I said and kissed cheek. I took her hand and walked in. “feel at home ” I said when we entered the house. “show me around ” she demanded and I obliged. I can never say no to this angel of mine. I held her hand and and started showing her round the house. . Katharine . It’s getting late but Allie is not yet back. The weather too isn’t pure and it’s gonna rain. The doorbell rang and I ran to get it. I opened it to see John and Olivia. I sighed and stepped aside for them to come in. Didn’t even notice they went out. “guess what ” Olivia blurted out with a wide grin. “you were given a badge as the best cook ” I blurted out and John chuckled. Well Olivia is a good cook and she worked in a restaurant before we travelled. “I don’t need a badge, I’m the best cook ever ” she seethed and John and I gave a funny look. “but it’s true ” she pouted. “did we say anything ” I asked and John shrugged. “well, you know the cook association that I applied for in California ” she asked and I nodded. Working in the cook association is Olivia’s dream since she got to California. She’ll be famous if she gets to work there. “my name is out ” she yelled and we jumped in glee. “you’re gonna work there ” I asked, not believing my ears. “yes ” she said with a wide grin. “I’m so happy for you ” I said and hugged her. “I’ll become one of the best cooks, I’ll open my knees restaurant and my restaurant will be the best in NY when I come back from California ” she said and we giggled. “I need to start packing” she urged. “we’re gonna miss you ” I pouted. “drop that sad face and put on an happy face now ” she commanded and I chuckled. I hugged her once before she went to her room for start packing. “is anything wrong ” John asked as soon as Olivia went to her room. “it’s just that it’s late and Damon has not come back with Allie yet ” I blurted out, feeling uneasy. “you let him take Allie ” he asked, surprised. “yeah, he’s Allie’s dad ” I blurted out and he nodded slowly. “have you called him yet ” he asked. “no, I’ll do that now ” I said and he nodded. I took my phone and went up to my room. I called him over and over again but he didn’t pick up. I better go to his house now. . Damon . “are you sure she would come ” I asked Allie and she hit her forehead dramatically. Allie said I shouldn’t take her home and that if Katharine calls, I shouldn’t pick up then she’d be forced to come here. I doubt if Katharine will come here. “OK, let’s see if she’ll come ” I said and we sat on the couch, waiting for Katharine. Few mins later, the door bell rang and we gave each other a look. “told ya ” Allie said and I chuckled. I went to get the door and there she stood, with an angry face. “she.. She’s in ” I stuttered but she she nothing as she walked in. “it’s already late so why didn’t you bring her home ” she asked looking from Allie to me. “I was the one who wanted to stay ” Allie defended and I was thankful cause Katharine looked like she was gonna kill me. “let’s go now ” she said to Allie and Allie glanced at me. “since its already late, why don’t you guys stay for the night ” I asked and she gave me a glare. I kept mute and watched as she took Allie’s hand. Already at the door, thunder rumbled and it started raining. To my surprise, Katharine wasn’t sacred of the rain. “let’s go, I brought my car “Katharine said and I cursed. “it’s not safe to drive in the room ” Allie remarked. “nothing’s gonna happen, let’s go ” Katharine said and Allie put on a sad face Allie sighed and squatted to her level. “do you wanna stay ” she asked and Allie nodded. “OK, we’ll stay for the night ” she blurted out and I couldn’t be more happy. I smiled but quickly frowned when Katharine looked at me. “Damon why don’t you show us your room so we can all watch movies together ” Allie asked and I nodded without looking at Katharine. I walked them to my room and we all laid on the bed with Allie in between Katharine and I. We watched a cartoon film titles tangled. I just browsed it in the internet cause that’s what Allie asked for. After a while, Allie fell asleep and Katharine took her to another room. Katharine gasped when she saw me behind her. “what are you doing here “she asked, covering Allie with the blanket. I slowly walked to her and wrapped my arms around her waist from behind. She tensed but her body slowly relaxed in my arms. I kissed her neck and she didn’t stop me. I swirled her around to face me and she looked down shyly. I gently raised her chin up and kissed her lips. She reciprocated and I pulled her closer to me. I pulled her up and she rapped her legs around my torso. She tugged her hands on my hair and kissed me with so much force. I slid my hand down to her butt and squeezed it, gently massaging it. she moaned into my mouth and I pressed her against my erection. I opened the door and took her to my room. I laid her gently on the bed and hovered over her. I caressed her soft flawless body, kissing every part. I tore off her clothes, leaving HR in just her bra and panties. “Damon ” she moaned. “I love you Katharine ” I said between moans. I unclasped her bra and pulled of her panties. She shivered as my lips touched her clit. “tell me, have John touched you ” I asked. I’ve been finding a way to know since I John told me he loves her. The thought of another man touching what’s mine is killing me. “no ” she moaned out and I smiled against her nipple. I grazed my teeth against her hard nipple and she moaned carelessly, caressing my bare back. “has any man… ” “no” she moaned out. “no man has, except you ” she breathed out and I stopped. She opened her eyes and met with my amused gaze. ” I love you so much ” I said and captured her lips in mine. I kissed her down to her thighs. I tried kissing in between her thighs but she wouldn’t open up. I groaned and squeezed her hips. “open up for me, baby ” I begged and kissed her crotch. She shivered and parted her thighs, giving me a perfect view of what I wanted to see. I slipped in a finger and she moaned out. She still remain tight as ever. I slipped in nother finger and she moaned out loud. I slowly thrusted in and out with my finger. I pulled out and kissed her lips. “open your mouth ” I said and she did. I put my hand in her mouth and she tasted herself. “gosh! How long I’ve wanted to taste you ” I groaned into her ear. I sucked her clit and she shivered in pleasure. I couldn’t hold myself any longer so I plunged in and she screamed. I slowly moved in and out as she moaned carelessly. I increased my pace and she dug her nails into my back. Our moans was all I could hear as I thrust in and out of her. We came at once and I kissed her forehead before pulling out of her. I collapsed beside her and pulled her to me. We drifted off to sleep with her in my arms. . . T. B. C By Jennifer Owens

. By Jennifer Owens . . Damon . I kept waking up just to make sure that Katharine was still by my side. I can’t bear loosing her, not again. I held her tight and went back to sleep. She’d not be able to leave me while I’m asleep. . “I said wake up ” I heard faintly and I groaned. An alarm rang in my arms and I sprung up. Katharine chuckled and dropped the alarm. “what the hell was that for “I asked while she chuckled. “I’ve been waking you up for mins now but you wouldn’t so I had to use the alarm ” she blurted out and I smiled. “but why were you waking me up ” I asked and she rolled her eyes. She gave me an eye sign to look down at ourselves. I chuckled when I realized I had held her tight to me. Her left leg was in between my legs and I held her left hand tight. I smiled and kissed her forehead. I let her go and she shyly looked away. “what’s with my photos in your room ” she asked, still not looking at me. “those photos kept me going. Just seeing your face keeps me going. I love you so much Katharine ” I said in a soft voice and she sighed. I think she’s getting emotional now. “feeling shy to walk to the bathroom ” I asked, trying to cheer her up and she smiled. “I’ve got the solution to that ” I said and carried her in my arms. “what the hell are you doing ” she yelled. “taking to the bathroom ” I said and took her there. “we could just freshen up together you know ” I blurted out and she gave me a glare. “that won’t be a good idea ” I said, grabbed a towel and left the bathroom. I heard her soft chuckle as I walked out of the bathroom. I sat on the couch and waited patiently for her to come out. She came out with a towel wrapped around her chest. She stood at the bathroom door, folded her hands around her chest and gave me a look that says “you’re in for it “. “what have I done now ” I asked and she chuckled. She walked seductively towards me with an heart melting smile. She got to where I sat, squatted to my level and brought her face closer like she wants to kiss me. I closed my eyes and waited for her soft lips on mine. “you tore my clothes you bastard ” she yelled and my eyes popped open. I stared at her with shock. “now what do you expect me to wear ” she yelled. “just wear any of my clothes and I’ll go shopping for you ” I blurted out. “have you gone bonkers ” she asked and I nodded “no”. “oh OK ” I said and stood up from the couch. I went to my wardrobe and brought her gown. Six years ago when she left me, she forgot this gown in the laundry room. She gasped softly when she saw it. “you stole it from me ” she said and I rolled my eyes. Both mother and daughter are so dramatic. Now talking of daughter, where’s Allie. “have you checked up on Allie ” I asked, giving her the gown. “gosh! I completely forgot. She might be hungry ” she said and rushed to the bathroom to dress up. She came out and without drying her hair, she ran out like a mad woman. I just asked if she has checked up on Allie, I didn’t say Allie’s dying. Mothers are so dramatic. I went to the bathroom and freshened up I dressed up, dried my hair and headed to the sitting room. . Katharine . I can’t believe I forgot to check up on Allie. All these happened because of Damon. After dressing up in the gown that Damon gave me, I rushed out to Allie’s room with my damp hair. I got to her room and found it empty. Where could she be? I went to the sitting room and there she sat, watching TV. I heaved a sigh of relief and went to her. “good morning mom ” she said and I smiled. “good morning honey. How was your night ” I asked. “twas good ” she replied and I pecked her cheek. “you already bathe and brushed ” I asked when I noticed she has already changed her clothe and her teeth are sparkling. “yep” she said proudly and I chuckled. “are you hungry, do you want me to prepare you something ” I asked and she nodded. “mashed potatoes ” she said with glee. “OK. I’ll go prepare it specially for my angel ” I pecked her cheek and went to the kitchen. . Damon . I came to the sitting room and met Allie, seated on the couch. “good morning, Allie ” I said and plumped down on the couch beside her. “moring Damon ” she replied with a smile. She told me to bring my ear and I did. “mom’s making breakfast in the kitchen ” she whispered and I looked to the kitchen. I smiled and gave her an high five. I went to the kitchen and stood behind Katharine. “good morning ” I said lowly I just saw her. She glanced at me then back at what she was doing. “I’m so happy to see you here again “I said and she rolled her eyes. “well this is the last time you’ll see me here ” she said and I arched an eyebrow. “I just gave you the go ahead to spend time with Allie cause she’s your daughter but that doesn’t mean we’re back together ” she said and I sighed. “common just forgive me ” I begged and she sighed. I looked to Allie’s direction and she pretended to be focused on the cartoon she was watching. What a drama queen. Katharine’s just being stubborn. I know I already got her back. After making breakfast, I helped Katharine set the table. We ate and it was finally time for them to leave________thanks to Katharine who keeps whining that she’s got work to do. I wanted to drive them home but Katharine being so stubborn, reminded me that she’s got her own car. I waved at them as they drove out of the compound. I grinned widely and went back in. I finally have Katharine back. . Katharine . We arrived home and alighted. We went in to meet John and Olivia in the sitting room. Olivia smiled broadly when she saw us. “you’re back ” she exclaimed and hugged me then Allie. “so I already packed up and I was waiting to say my last goodbye before leaving ” she pouted and I smiled. “she’s leaving ” Allie asked with a sad face and I nodded. “why ” she asked, her eyes getting red. “now don’t cry, I’ll be back before you know it ” Olivia said, trying to calm her. “really ” she asked and Olivia nodded. She pecked Olivia on the cheek and Olivia caressed her hair. Olivia hugged John then gave me a heart warming hug before leaving for the airport. Allie went up to our room and I turned to follow her but John pulled me back. His eyes were red like he was angry. “you slept with him ” he asked and I almost choked at the question he asked. “excuse me ” I asked, doubting my ears. “are you guys back together ” he asked and I sighed. “John, this is my personal issues and I’d rather keep them private ” I said and made to leave but he pulled me back again. “are you guys back together ” he asked between gritted teeth and I swallowed hard. Looking at just his face, he looks scary. “no” I blurted out and he felt relieved. He let go of me and I gave him a weird look before going up to my room. . John . Thank God they’re not back together. I won’t even let that happen. She was with him last night and the thought of her in his arms is killing me. I have to come up with a plan to separate them. I don’t need the contract again, we’re going back to California tomorrow. Katharine’s not yet in good terms with Damon so I still have her by my side. She’ll agree to go back to California where I’ll make her mine. I brought out my phone and booked a ticket for three. . . T. B. C By Jennifer Owens

By Jennifer Owens . . Damon . I woke up this morning with a smile. I can’t believe Katharine is mine again. I know she’s still acting stubborn and don’t wanna admit it, but she will. I miss her and Allie already. I wanted to go to John’s suite but I decided against it. I don’t want to be clingy. I’m starting to win her back and I don’t wanna mess up again. After dressing up, I boarded my car and headed to my office. . Katharine . “but why can we just go back to California without having the contract ” I asked. John came to me this morning and said we should pack up cause we’re leaving for California. To me, it isn’t a good idea. Allie just started to know her dad and I… I don’t think I’m ready to leave Damon again. “I don’t need it again, let’s just leave ” he urged. “I’m sorry John but I can’t go back to California, not now ” I blurted out. “why ” “Allie is just getting to know her dad and I don’t wanna just take her away from him ” I blurted out. “then leave Allie for him ” he blurted out and I gave him a stern look. “you know I can’t live without my daughter ” I said between gritted teeth. I’m starting to get pissed now. “then let’s go. You’re not staying here” “what’s it to you? I’m not going back to California so why are you making a fuss about it ” I asked angrily. “cause I don’t want you and Damon to get back together” he yelled and I flinched. “and why’s that ” I asked sternly. “cause I love you and I’m gonna make you mine ” he blurted out. “I’m not going back to California and you’re not gonna make me” I said sternly and sat on my bed. Allie’s out playing in the garden. “then I’ll have to use another way ” he said and I arched an eyebrow. . Allie . Mom and John were having a quarrel so I just stood at the door and eavesdropped. Don’t gimme that look, I know it’s not good to eavesdrop on adult conversations but I was curious. John was forcing mom to go back to California but mom refused cause of me. John said he’s gonna use another way to take mom to California and I gasped softly. I ran out of the suite and stopped a cab. I’m gonna go tell Damon and he’ll come help. I don’t even know the address. “he Mr, do you know where Damon Saltzman lives ” I asked. I’ve heard mom calling Damon Mr Saltzman once so I’m very sure it’s his last name. “of course, the Saltzman’s villa ” he said and I smiled. “take me there ” I said and boarded the cab. “do you have the T-fair ” he asked and I gave him a blank look. “her Mr, my dad is very rich okay? Just take me there and he’ll pay you ” I skate dad he chuckled. He started the car and drove off. . John . I already put Katherine in the car. All it took was just a hard press on the corner of her neck and she was unconscious. She’s so stubborn. I wouldn’t be forcing her if she agreed to follow me. I can tell Damon have her again. I went to the garden to take Allie but didn’t find her there. “Allie ” I called, searching the garden. I searched the house and balcony but couldn’t find Allie. Where the hell is she? Katharine will hate me forever if I can’t find her daughter. Gosh! What do I do? I ran my hand through my hair in frustration. Where the hell can that little bitch be? She never even liked me from the very beginning and now she’s trying to ruin my plans. I’ll just leave without her. I’ll tell my investigators to help me look for her and when they do, they’ll send her to me in California. First I have to go to my office here to get some important things and from there, I’ll head to the airport. The only problem now is that my office is far from here and there’s traffic. Just hope we get to the airport in time. I boarded the car and headed to my office. . Allie . “why’s it so long? Whenever I go with my mom or Damon, it doesn’t take this long ” I seethed and the cab man chuckled. “there’s a lot of traffic jam today that’s why ” he said and I rolled my eyes. “and here we are ” he said and I smiled. I got out and made to leave but he called me back. “my money ” he said and I playfully hit my forehead. What a greedy man. “just wait here, I’ll get it ” I said and he nodded. I said and turned to leave. The gate was locked so my expression dropped. I hit it with my palm but there was no response. “anyone in ” I yelled, hitting the gate. “seems no one’s home, dear” the cab man said and I sighed. “do you probably know his company ” I asked and he put on a contemplating face. “Mr Saltzman have a lot of companies so which one should I take you to ” he asked and I sighed again. I have to think fast. Mommy might be in danger. “Win.. Win… ” I stuttered, trying to recall the name I heard John call one day. “Winfield corporation” he blurted out and I smiled. “that’s it ” I said and he smiled. “let’s go then ” he said and I boarded the cab. . John . After taking all important things that I need, I came out of the office. I boarded the car and headed to the airport. . Allie . “are we there yet ” I asked. “almost ” he said and I rolled my eyes. “you’ve been telling me that for hours now ” I seethed and be chuckled. “just a few more mins ” he said and I rested my head on the headrest. “here we are ” he said and I hurriedly got down. I made to leave but he called me back. “your money, I know ” I said before he could say anything and he smiled. I tired entering the building but a security guard stopped me. “you can’t go in ” he said and I scoffed. “my dad owns here so I can ” I pouted. “who’s your dad ” “Damon Saltzman ” I blurted out and he stared at me in awe. “wait here, I’ll tell his secretary ” he said and went in. This man better be fast with it. . . T. B. C

Soo dramatic and too intelligent for her age

nice one

....... . ...

....... . ...

Allie is such a smart kid.... But John too what be ur problem na,luv na force??? Nawa oo!!!

.Jennifer Owens . Allie . I tapped my foot on the floor, waiting for the security guard. I’ll just go in myself. I took a step to go in but then I remembered I don’t know the floor Damon’s office is. I’ll just ask someone. I went in and walked to a lady who was seated on a row of seats. “excuse me ma’am ” I said and she looked up at me. She smiled broadly and I smiled back. “do you perhaps know the floor Damon Saltzman’s office is ” I asked. “yeah, the last floor ” she said and I smiled. “thanks ” I said and ran to the elevator. “I pressed the button and waited for it to open. It opened and some group of people came out. I went in and pressed the last number I saw, 5. The elevator came to an halt, making it usual sound. It opened and I walked out. I looked around and saw the security guard, talking to a woman. I still no my way to the board meeting but I don’t know my way to Damon’s office. “excuse me ” I said to a passer by and he stopped. “yes ” he asked. “do you perhaps know Damon Saltzman’s office ” I asked and he nodded. “go straight there, the office with thick glass door at the top ” he said. “thanks ” I said and ran to the direction. “there she is ” I heard someone say and I looked back to see the security man. “hey! Come back here “the lady he was talking to earlier, yelled. I glared at them and ran to the door. It was hard to open so I knocked on it. The glass space was up and o was small so I couldn’t see in. “come in ” I heard Damon’s voice. “Damon ” I called and waited for him to open. “come here ” the lady held my hand and tried dragging me away but Damon came out just in time. “Piper” he yelled and she flinched. She let go of me and I ran to Damon. He picked me up and glared at the lady before taking me into his office. . Damon . I heard a knock on the door and replied “come in”. I was astonished when I heard Allie’s tiny voice. What’s she doing here? I opened the door and saw Piper trying to drag her away. “Piper ” I yelled and she flinched. She let go of Allie and she ran to me. I picked her up and glared at Piper before going back to my office. I’d have taught Piper a lesson had Allie not been here. I sat on my chair and sat Allie on my laps. “Damon, you have to help mommy ” she said and my heart skipped. “what happened to mommy ” I asked. “John is trying to force her back to California ” she said and I flared up. “you have to help her fast ” she said and I dropped her. It must have taken Allie a lot of stress and time to get here. I think if John was gonna elope with Katharine, he’d have gone to the airport. I took my phone from the table and called the airport. “this is Damon Saltzman ” I said immediately they pressed the answer button. “how may we help sir ” “I want you to stop the plane going to California ” I demanded. “but sir….” “just delay it or better still, don’t let John Prize board the plane ” “OK sir, we won’t let John Prize in ” “thanks a lot ” I said and hung up. “Allie dear, stay here in the office and I’ll go get mom okay ” I said and she nodded. I kissed her forehead and walked out. I went to Piper and gave her a stern look. “my daughter is in my office, she should be well taken care of. If she complains of anything to me when I’m back, consider yourself jobless ” I said between gritted teeth and ran out. I boarded my car and headed to the airport. . John . I don’t know why they won’t allow us to board the flight. Katharine has regained consciousness and she was fighting me. I told her that I already had her daughter on hostage and if she refuse to come with me to California, I’ll give a go ahead to my men to kill her. She loves her daughter a lot so she agreed. I know this is Damon’s work. But how did he know? I don’t care, I have to leave here. “let’s go ” I held Kathy’s hand and she tried to protest but cooperated when I gave her a stern look. We boarded my car and drove off. We’ll just stay at one of my suite that no one knows of. The suite is still under construction so I don’t think Damon will find us there. . Damon I can’t believe John left the airport. I must have arrived late. Now where do I start looking for her? I brought out my phone and called the cops. I called my private investigators and all the forces in NY. John Prize is now wanted. The forces will do their part in finding Katharine and I’ll do mine too. I can’t just sit and watch them. I have to find Katharine. I can’t loose her again. I called Josh, my computer master. We went to the investigation room and tried tracking John down but couldn’t. John’s a devil. He’s so smart in his moves. Shit! I hit my fist on the table angrily. It’s getting late now and I have to get Allie from the office. “Josh, stay here and keep trying if you can track him down “I said and he nodded. I went to the sitting room and opened the door to go out but stopped on my track. Piper was at my doorstep and beside her was Allie. “Damon ” Allie called and I picked her up. “thanks ” I told Piper and she nodded with a smile. She turned to leave but I stopped her. “I know I’ve really been an asshole to you and I’m sorry ” I blurted out and her eyes widened in shock. Yeah! A boss apologising to his worker or should I say, his slut? “I shouldn’t have played with your feelings so I’m sorry ” she smiled and nodded Jeez! She’s blushing. “you’re beautiful and smart Piper and I hope that you’ll someone that will give you all you need ” I said and she smiled. “I’m sorry too for… ” “it’s not your fault Piper so it’s okay ” I said and she smiled. Allie yawned dramatically, reminding me she was still in my arms. “isn’t the drama over yet? I’m cold ” she said dramatically and Piper and I chuckled. Piper left and I took Allie. “did you bring mom ” she asked and I sighed. “not yet, we’re still searching for her ” I said and her expression dropped. “baby ” someone called and we looked up to see Katharine. My mouth hung open and Allie used her hand to close my mouth. “mommy ” she called and ran to Katharine. Katharine picked her up and kissed her all over. She dropped Allie and her eyes met mine. She smiled and I went to hug her. “I missed you ” I said and held her tight. We disengaged and went to sit on the couch. . Katharine . I can’t believe it but John let me go. When he took me to the suite, I kept crying and I think that melted him. He yelled at me to stop crying but I got scared and cried even more. He sat beside me and gently wiped my tears. “you really love him ” he asked and I nodded in tears. “and you wanna go back to him ” he asked and I nodded. “oh Katharine ” he breathed out and hugged me. “I didn’t mean to hurt you, I just… I.. ” he stuttered and pulled away. A tear slid down his cheek and I kinda pitied him. I know how it feels to love someone but can’t have that person. “I’m sorry ” he said softly. “go to him ” he said and I gazed unbelievably at him. “I want you to be happy so go to him ” he said and I smiled. “thanks ” I said in a whisper and he nodded. Already at the door, I came back and hugged him. “I’m sorry ” I whispered into his ear. I kissed his cheek and ran out. I hailed a cab straight to Damon’s house and met their two talking about me. They were happy to see me as I was to see them. We all sat on the couch and Damon kept giving me a look of “are we back together “. “I’ll go to the restroom ” Allie said and ran off. I know her too well, she just made that up. “I forgive you ” I blurted out belfry Damon could say anything. He smiled and crashed his lips on mine. “I love you Katherine ” he said. “I love you too ” I said and kissed him. I’ve got a complete family. And yeah, I did change Damon Saltzman after all. . .

By Jennifer Owens. . Epilogue. . A year later……….. . Damon . It was morning and I was exhausted like hell. Katharine’s 8 month and few weeks pregnant so I get to do all the work. You can’t believe how crazy she is when she’s pregnant. Her hormones can drive a human crazy. Olivia even sent me some photos and videos of Katharine when she was pregnant with Allie. I haven’t gotten the time to watch them yet but I will. “dad! ” I heard Allie’s yell from downstairs and I sighed. “coming ” I yelled back. It’s time for school and she doesn’t like being late _________ just like me. Surprised she’s calling me dad? Well I’m the happiest man ever to have such a daughter and a wife. FLASH BACK. . After Katharine told me John let her go, I went to make a call to all the forces to drop the case on John. “Damon ” I heard Allie’s voice behind me. I ended my call and turned to her with a smile. “yes” “since you and mom are now together, can I call you dad “she asked and gosh! I almost busted with joy. I nodded with a smile cause I couldn’t find my voice. She hugged me and I wrapped hands around her. I pulled away and kissed her cheek. “how did you even get to my office ” I asked and she smiled. “it was easy, I took a cab there ” she said and I raised an eyebrow. “how did you pay ” I asked. “I didn’t. I asked the driver to take me to your house but you weren’t home so I told him to take me to your office and you’ll pay him ” she blurted out. “but I didn’t pay ” I said. “Yeah, Piper did ” she said and I breathed out an “oh”. God bless that cab man. Few days later when everything was settled and going well, I proposed to Katharine again. We had a grand wedding and made sure to make everything special just for her. I also give John the contract and the partnership. . PRESENT DAY. . Katharine was still asleep. I walked downstairs and met Allie already at the door. She was waiting impatiently while tapping her left feet on the floor. “daddy’s ready ” I said and smiled. I already prepared her breakfast. So much for having a pregnant wife with crazy hormones. We got out and boarded the car. I drove her to school, waved her goodbye and drove back home. Oh! Did I forget to tell mention tang Olivia is back in NY? She has her own restaurant and the happiest part is that her wedding is already fixed. I’m just so happy for her. I went upstairs and met Katharine, eating on the bed. “you’re awake ” I said but she didn’t even acknowledge my presence. She continued devouring the food like an hungry lioness. I chuckled and went to change. I have an important meeting. I dressed up in my black suit , took my briefcase and went to sit beside Katharine. I gave her water after eating and she gave me a satisfied smile. “take me with you ” she pouted and I gave her a blunt look. “please ” she begged. “no, you have to rest are home ” I said. Her eyes got glossy and before a tear could slide down her cheek, I agreed. “fine but you’re gonna control your hormones “I said and she nodded obediently. I went to her her wardrobe and gave her a gown to wear. She wore it and we went downstairs. We boarded the car and drove off. We arrived and went up to my office. “I’ll be in the board room so stay here and rest ” I said and she pursed her lips. “what ” I asked. “I want to be by your side ” she blurted out with a puppy face. “it’s just for a few mins, I’ll be back soon ” I seethed. “I want be with you ” she pouted, her eyes glistening. “fine ” I said and she smiled broadly. We went to the boardroom and she sat beside me. I think I also forgot to tell you guys that Piper has changed and she gets along with Katharine now. Piper did the presentation and it was time for me to explain some things. I positioned the mouth piece in front of me and started. . Katharine . Getting back with Damon is the happiest thing that’s happened to me. Allie’s got the best dad and I’ve got the best husband ever. I never thought in my whole wide world that Damon Saltzman could be such a good husband. He proposed to me few days after we got together and he made my wedding so special. God bless him. My eyes wandered everywhere as Damon explains some business stuffs to his board members. Damon had been confused of what things to buy for the unborn baby. He doesn’t know which closed will be best. I think yellow fits new born babies. So yeah, he should get a pack of yellow clothes. “yellow “I blurted out and everyone’s eyes darted to me. “what ” Damon asked softly. “the baby’s clothes ” I said and he glanced around then back at me. “OK ” he said and continued what he was saying to his board members. “I want him to have your nose and your jawline ” I blurted out and everyone’s gaze fell on me again. “we’ll talk about those when we get home ” Damon said and I nodded. I can’t believe Olivia’s wedding is tomorrow. “I said we’ll talk about those when she get home ” Damon said and sighed. Did I say that out loud? Oops! After the meeting, we went home and Damon plumped down on the couch. “I’m the one who’s to be tired ” I pouted and sat beside him. “I’ve been the wife since you got pregnant ” he pouted and I rolled my eyes. “you don’t have to be dramatic ” I said and rolled my eyes. He scoffed and sat up to face me. “dramatic? You should tell that to your daughter and direct it to yourself ” he blurted out and I gasped. “so you’re saying I’m dramatic ” I asked, my eyes getting glossy. “of course not, I’m the drama king here ” he said and I smiled. He hugged me and made me lay my head on his chest. I felt soft kisses press against my hair and I smiled. “I wish you were in your mind months so you could just give birth and save me off this load ” he seethed. “but I’m in my nine months ” I said and he pulled away. “you’ve gat to be kidding me ” he said and nodded “no”. He smiled broadly and hugged me. He felt relieved and I chuckled. Damon had been doing all the chores, cooking, dressing Allie up for school, everything. “I’m hungry ” I seethed. “I’ll get you food ” he said and went to the kitchen. He came back with food and dropped it on the couch in front of me. “I’ll go pick up Allie now ” he said and I nodded. He walked out through the door and I ate my food. . . morning. . I woke up with a broad smile. Damon wasn’t beside me. He must be getting Allie ready for the wedding. Yes, it’s Olivia’s wedding today. I sluggishly got down from the bed and went to freshen up. I put on my big gown and styled my hair in a messy bun. I applied light make up and went downstairs. I met Allie and Damon’s already dressed. “here she is ” Allie whispered to Damon and I rolled my eyes. We walked out through the door and boarded the car. I should’ve been the one to dress up Olivia but I’m pregnant so she didn’t let me do anything. We arrived at the venue, packed the car and alighted. We walked in and took our seats. Cool music started playing in the back ground and I turned to see Olivia and her dad walking to the altar. Olivia’s father has always let Olivia live a free life cause he trusted his daughter. Her mom’s dead and her dad is all she’s got. I flashed a smile at Eddie, Olivia’s soon to be husband and he returned the smile. “you do know is not appropriate for a pregnant woman to flirt, right ” Damon whispered and I rolled my eyes. I wasn’t even flirting. The said the vows and I couldn’t wait for the part where they’ll kiss. “you may kiss the bride ” the priest shad and just then, I a pain in my stomach. I winced a little and Damon glanced at me. Water ran down my thighs and I winced in pain. Gosh! I’m in labour. I felt another contradiction and I screamed in pain. “you’re in labour ” Damon said and carried me. He rushed me out and Allie ran behind us. We boarded the car and he drove to the hospital. I screamed whenever I felt a contradiction. I was laid on the bed in the labour room and Damon was beside me. “push harder ” the doc said and had I not been in pain, I’d have slapped. I was fucking trying my best. “harder ” the doc said. God! “just pull the fucking thing out “I yelled . “there’s no way they’re bringing my baby out like that ” Damon seethed. I was gasping for air. “I knew what it took me to plant that seed in you so they’re not gonna pull it out ” he said. He held my hand and I squeezed it tight. With one last scream, I pushed out the baby. I panted softly as the tiny cry of the baby echoed in the room. The placenta came out and Damon smiled down at me. He squatted and kissed my sweaty forehead. . . Allie, Damon, I and of course, our new baby, walked into the house. He’s a baby boy. Damon named him Luka. We walked in and I laid on the bed with Luka beside me. What a happy family I’ve got. . The next day, Eddie and Olivia came. They were so happy to see Luka. Damon and Allie were in the room and I wonder what they were doing cause they didn’t even come downstairs to see the newly wedded couple. After spending some time with Eddie and Olivia, they left. They have to enjoy their wedded life. I went upstairs with Luka to know what Allie and Damon’s were slightly engrossed in. As I climbed the stairs, I could hear their laughter. I smiled and got curious even more. I opened the door and there they laid, on the bed, laughing their ass out. I looked to the television and my eyes widened. There was me in the TV. I mean they were watching a pregnant me. It was a video of me when I was pregnant with Allie. Olivia must have done this. I smiled and went to the bed too. I laid Luka between Damon and Allie and laid beside Luka. I was beside Luka while Damon was beside Allie and Allie and Luka were in between us. Damon and I linked hands and smiled as we watched the video. . . THE END. . By Jennifer Owens. All rights reserved ©. . Thanks to all my fans that read and encouraged me to finish this story.
