“ How does it feel to be back home on such short notice?”It was a text message from Justin. Damian frowned. It was obvious that the motherfucker was up to something so Damian made a mental note not to leave Layla at home with the maids.He would not dare, not now that Justin knows about their arrival.Damian would never allow Justin to see Layla now, but anytime soon. Not now that her heart is undecided and partially torn into two. He would rather win her heart fully before allowing Justin to see her.Without a second thought, he cupped her pretty face in his palms and said,“ Sugar, I think we should go to the office together. I miss you already and don't want to be away from you.”His words sounded so honest that Layla’s heart warmed. She didn't want to be alone too but didn't know how to tell him without being clingy. She loved this version of Damian. He was so kind and soft-hearted toward her and it means he respects her and cares for her.She remembered her mom telling her tha
Justin was disappointed when Mr. Smith decided to partner with Damian instead. He was looking forward to getting that contract in other to secure himself the position of the CEO of his father’s company, but now that he had lost the contract to Damian he has to impress Mr. Smith so he can get a good report and prove to his mom that he’s capable of running his fathers company. It was a miracle when Mr. Smith allowed him to be his representative, aside from getting himself a good report, he was going to be a step closer to Layla and see more of her often.He might have lost the contract to Damian but he was certain that he would gain something bigger and better, in return.Mr. Smith also explained to him that if he impresses him, 25% out of the 50% profit allocation will go into Justin’s company, which means, he is going to be ten times richer than he is now.Justin quickly grabbed the opportunity. However, he was eager to see Layla alone at home before heading to Damian’s company to me
“What have you done to Layla?” Justin asked Damian again.It just didn't feel right to him that Layla would avoid him, to the extent of refusing to speak to him.Damian turned around and his expression was indifferent as he asked,“ And what business does an outsider like you have to do with what I do with my wife?Internally, Damian was very excited that Justin was annoyed about the whole situation but he did not show it out. Justin was greatly in pain and it was visible on his face. Yes, for every heartbreak, pain, and trauma he had caused Kendra his sister, he would make sure Justin felt twice the pain. He was determined to make the latter pay sevenfold.Justin watched as Damian left with Layla in his arms. What annoyed him most was the fact that she would not speak to anyone aside from Damian.This was strange and Justin couldn't take it, He turned to Kelvin and asked him,“ Please tell me, what did he do to her?”Kelvin's expression turned cold as he responded coldly in return,
“ I want to know the truth. I need you to tell me the truth no matter how sad it will make me feel, all I need from you is your honesty.” Damian pleaded before asking her his question.Layla could feel guilt running through her, she knew she had lied to him earlier and thought he had found her out. However, she still played cool and assured him to go ask his question,“Okay, I will be honest, you can ask your question.”“ How do you feel about me?” Damian asked, caressing her hair.Layla didn't want to lie to him again, she had told a lie earlier and was not ready to tell another. “ I think I'm beginning to like you,” she admitted and facepalmed.Damian smiled. She looked so adorable and he was glad she felt something for him. It had only been few days since they both began this journey and he was glad he was already making headway.“Then I am happy. Since when did you start to like me?” He asked seriously, removing her hands that were covering her eyes. She still didn't find his gaz
“ You gave me your word, you promised not to get into my pants until I was ready,” Layla said and doubt was evident in her eyes. Damian's face was crooked with frustration as his eyes caught the sight of condoms on the bed.He began to sweat profusely as he managed to say,“Believe me, it's not what you think,” Damian said trying to sound as honest as possible, truly, he had no idea who was responsible for it.Layla was anguished. He told her not to lie to him but he lied to her. Not to think that she was feeling guilty earlier because she told a little lie about her not to open a part of her life she has been hiding for a long.“ We've been together all these while, so tell me, how were you able to put all these in order? So, you have been pretending all these while you just wanted to get into my pants!” she was upset and yelled, scattering the whole place including the flowers on the bed and condoms.The neatly laid bed and beautifully decorated flowers were a mess now. Damian was
“ You mean Kelvin?” Damian frowned and asked. His body was blocking the doorway so Paula knew the bedroom was off-limits for now.Paula nodded her head. Damian wasn't happy at all, this was supposed to be Layla's time and he was bent on giving her his full attention.He was upset because he didn't like intrusion and Kelvin knows better.“Tell him I'm busy and will see him in their hour, that is if he wants to wait.”“ Okay, I will do just that,” Paula said and turned to leave when Damian stopped her in her tracks.“ Paula, wait. Please, I would not like any form of disturbance. Don't come here for whatever reason,” he said politely but the mature lady deduced that it was a warning.He has a good point after all, why should he be disturbed on his honeymoon?“ Alright,” Paula said and took her leave.When he returned, Layka was upset, remembering what had transpired between her and Kelvin a few hours ago at the office, it would really break her heart if Damian chose to leave her for him
Kelvin sat straight for a moment without saying a word. He only stared at Damian like he was seeing a ghost, this got Damian confused and he said,“ I'm listening, tell me what is it about my wife?” Kelvin did not move or make a sound, he still stared at him carefully like he was searching for something that was missing.Damian was behind to get pissed. Kelvin's attitude was beginning to get annoying. “ Listen, I don't have time for your silly jokes. If you don't mind, I was busy with my wife before you came and would love to go back to what I was doing.” Damian said in an angry tone and was about to head upstairs before Kelvin’s voice stopped him in his tracks,“ Have you considered the relationship between Layla and Justin? Have you bothered to know why Justin is bent on being close to Layla, even if he has to work under you? We both know how much Justin hates your guts but he is ready to stoop so low and work under you, in your company! And it’s because of Layla. Have you bother
Kendra was the CEO of Wilson’s fashion house and her brother was not surprised that Kendra gave him such a huge amount to pay as his bill.Kendra on the other hand knew her brother had found her out but it still didn’t stop her from achieving her aim, besides, the company he was running was swimming in trillions while Wilson’s fashion house was just nearing billions, so of course, he can afford it that’s why she doubled the price.“ You don’t want Wilson’s fashion house to collapse, do you? These items are the best and you know that. Pay up, big bro.” She said and stretched her hands.Layla was curious about how much these items cost, she didn’t doubt Kendra because from mere looking one could tell that they were made of the best brand and fabric.Damian didn’t put up a fuss about it, how much was 7 million that he couldn’t spend on his beloved wife? He picked up his phone and made the transfer to Wilson’s fashion house account.“. Done,” Damian said as soon as he was debited.Kendra
