Harriett was going through some of the emails from Colin, her assistant. A tired groan left her lips as she realized that being away from the office for two weeks had left her with a pile of work. She was about sending a response to Colin when Stacy walked into the room.“Hey. I and Thomas will be taking the kids on a ride. We’ll be back before it’s dark, okay?” She smiled and left the room, leaving Harriett.As soon as Stacy left the room, it suddenly dawned on her that it was going to be just her and Damien in the house. “Oh, Mother. I see what you’re trying to do.” Harriett sighed, shutting her laptop down as she threw a pillow on her head and screamed into it.She thought of just staying in her room until Stacy returned but it would make Damien think she was avoiding him so, she decided to take a walk and probably stop by the wine bar.When she got there, she was surprised to see that Damien was already seated with a glass of wine that looked like it hadn’t been touched. He

Damien couldn’t stand the scene before him so, he decided to make his presence known. Hearing footsteps behind her, Harriet didn’t need any one to tell her who it was. She was home alone with Damien so, it had to be him. Worried that he might make a meaning out of their hug, she quickly broke the hug and turned to him. Tony who saw him before Harriett did, didn’t let go of her hand even as she pulled out. Instead, he threw Damien a hateful glare. “Long time no see, Damien.” He said with a lopsided grin, reaching out for a handshake but all Damien was focused on was his hand on his ex-wife’s arm. Harriett traced his eyes and saw that they were fixed on Tony’s hands. She immediately shrugged them off, careful not to seem rude and she moved away from Tony. Damien peeled his eyes away from Harriet and turned to Tony with a forced smile. “I didn’t see you around for a while. I was beginning to think you had decided to finally return to your home.” He said, making it obvious that he want

“Do you have to go? Hmm?” Damien asked as he watched Harriet pack her clothes. Addison and Adrian were already downstairs with their grandparents and were already packed. “I can’t stay here forever, you know? We aren’t married anymore. It’ll be odd for me to live here.” She chuckled without looking at him, but she could feel his domineering presence behind her, the sweet smell of his perfume gracing her nostrils. “Why would it be? We were once married, Harriett. It won’t be odd for us to live together. So many couples live together without being married these days.” Damien replied and moved closer to her, turning her around so she could look at him. “Oh, Damien. We’re not like everyone. Once the press finds out that we’re living together even though we are divorced, it’s going to affect both our companies. Have you forgotten that you are one of the richest men in the country?” Harriet said, rubbing his arm lightly. “Why do we have to care about what people would say? Hmm? They’ll a

Later that night, Harriett got a text from Damien, telling her that he would be dropping the twins off at their school and that she didn’t have to worry about it. Harriet thanked him. It was really thoughtful of him and the fact that he also had work that morning warmed her heart. Harriett didn’t sleep when she got home. After spending some time with her twins and having dinner, she went to her room and opened her laptop to complete some work, so it didn’t pile up. She had not even begun when a call from Damien came in. A blush appeared on her face upon seeing his name. He had texted her only one hour ago, and he was already calling. “Why are you awake, Harriet?” His voice came up the minute she picked up the call. “I’ll be going to bed soon. I just have a few documents to review.* Harriet replied, and she heard him hiss. “Go to bed, my love,” He said without realizing it. It is only when the line goes silent that he realizes what he has said. Harriet bit her lips in an attempt t

Damien walked into the elevator with a smile on his face. By his side was his ex-wife, Harriet. He took hold of her hands as the elevator dinged. His plan was to show everyone that he was back with Harriet. He didn’t want the men at her company to think she was still single.Harriet noticed what he was doing and only smiled, shifting closer to him. Everyone who was present in the lobby saw them and couldn’t hide their shock. Both Harriet and Damien knew that they would be the trending topic the next day but, they didn’t care. It was about time people knew that their relationship was blossoming again.Damien took Harriet to a five-star restaurant and ordered her favorite Italian pasta and chicken breasts. After lunch, he waited at her office until she was done before taking her home again.By the time he arrived at his house, it was already 8:36pm. Tired from the day’s activity, Damien took a bath and hurried to bed. He was about to drift to sleep when his phone rang. Since he wasn’t i
