. Damon I woke up to the shrill sound of my ringtone. I hissed as I flung it somewhere on my nightstand I would look for it later. It kept ringing and it started getting me irritated. I blindly searched for it. I fumbled for the phone on my nightstand, answered it, and was greeted by the voice of my father-in-law. "Hello?" "Damon? Can I speak to Elysia?" Her father's voice boomed over the phone. "She isn't here," I said. I couldn't care less about where she goes or what she does. "Oh, I...I thought she was with you." His voice trembled, a dead giveaway that something was wrong. "No, what's going on?" I asked, instantly awake and alert. "She never came home last night and we can't find her anywhere." His voice cracked at the end. He didn't finish the statement when I was already up from bed, my snide comment was biting me in the ass. A chill ran down my spine. Every in my body screamed at me to go look for her. I told my father-in-law I would be there as soon as possible a
Elysia When I woke up later in the day, I was overwhelmed with my emotions trying to get the best of me. I felt ecstatic that Damon finally allowed me to move back in but furthermore I was happy that he was willing to work through our issues. I had my things moved and I was back in the house the same night. My lips thinned when I remembered that Zara was going to be living with us. I wasn't comfortable with that and I made it clear to him. He promised to figure something out until she decides to leave. I woke up early this morning, eager to start my day. I was determined to make breakfast for Damon and myself, hoping to surprise him with my cooking skills. I decided to make omelets with ham and cheese, accompanied by a fresh fruit salad and a warm cup of coffee. As I cooked, the sizzling of the eggs in the pan and the aroma of the coffee filled the kitchen, bringing a smile to my face. Finally, after what felt like an eternity, I placed the plates on the table, admiring my work
Elysia I sat in Macy's office, feeling overwhelmed with emotions. She had just told me about the journal and how I write in it whenever I am sad. Curiosity getting the best of me, I decided to take a look. I opened the safe where she kept it, and began to read through the pages. As I flipped through the pages, I stumbled upon a section dedicated to my ex-fiance, Jackson. My heart sank as I read my words, filled with pain and confusion. I wrote about visiting his house and finding him with a pregnant woman. The thought of him cheating on me was devastating. "I went to the house today, to see how Jackson was doing, but he was with a pregnant lady, who seems to be due in a few months. How is that supposed to happen when we only just broke up two months ago? Did he cheat on me? If he did, now I will never know. I guess it's better this way, maybe I wasn't destined for happiness" How come I don't remember this? It was obvious now that Damon forced me into the marriage, but why? I coul
Elysia I was a little tired as I walked up the driveway, Macy was kind enough to let me know things that I told her and it made me understand some things Damon had said to me in the past. I walked into the house, feeling exhausted from spending the day with Macy. But as soon as I entered, I was met with a loud argument. Zara and Damon were shouting at each other, their voices echoing through the living room. "I can't take this anymore, Damon! You're always belittling me and making me feel worthless!" Zara exclaimed. Damon just stood there with a smirk on his face, not caring about the hurt he was causing. "You can't just leave like that!" Damon was saying. "Watch me!" Zara shot back, her voice high and angry. I frowned, trying to understand what was going on. Then, Zara noticed me and her eyes narrowed. "I can't deal with this anymore," she said, grabbing her bags and marching past me. "Zara, wait!" I called after her, but she didn't stop. The door slammed shut behind her, leav
Damon I arrived at the office, my thoughts still lingering on Elysia's words from the night before and the strained breakfast conversation this morning. I tried to shake it off and focus on work, opening the files spread out on my desk. As I read through the documents, I felt a sense of unease in the pit of my stomach. Elysia's words echoed in my head, "Damon, we need to talk about us." I sighed, running a hand through my hair. I settled back into my work, determined to push Elysia's concerns out of my mind for now. I couldn't afford to get sidetracked, not with so much work to do. I shook my head like I wanted to get rid of her in my head. I reached for my pen, ready to sign the documents spread out before me. Just as I was about to make the final stroke, the door to my office burst open, and in walked my assistant and best friend, Julius. "Hey, Damon!" Julius exclaimed, a huge grin on his face. "Guess what? I asked Katie to marry me and she said yes!" I jumped up from my seat,
Elysia My heart pumped faster as his lips touched mine, I opened my mouth eagerly to receive his kiss. He placed a hand on my thigh, I lifted it to wrap my legs around his waist. He backed me into a wall, my back arching as his tongue delved into my mouth. I moaned slightly when his fingers brushed against my back. He broke the kiss off. It's been so long. I felt my heart start to pump faster as his lips neared mine. I could feel the heat radiating off of him, and I leaned into the kiss. As our lips met, I opened my mouth eagerly, eager to receive him. His hand was on my thigh, and I felt a shiver run down my spine. I lifted my leg, wrapping it around his waist, pulling him closer to me. I could feel his hardness pressed against me, and I moaned softly into his mouth. "I've wanted you for so long," he whispered against my lips, his breath hot and heavy. "I've wanted you too," I replied, my voice just as hushed. He lifted me, pressing me against the wall, and I wrapped my leg
Elysia. I woke up to the sound of Damon knocking on the bathroom door. I rubbed my eyes, trying to shake off the remnants of sleep. I looked around and I was sure I slept in the tub. I stumbled over to the door to open it and was met with Damon's rough and swollen eyes. "Elysia, are you okay?" he asked, concern etched on his face. He searched my body with his eyes to tell himself that nothing happened to me. I looked down, feeling ashamed and embarrassed. "I don't know what happened," I said, my voice trembling. "I just felt like I was being...raped." Damon's face remained passive but he took a step back. " Elysia, I'm so sorry. I would never do anything to hurt you." Tears started to stream down my face, and I couldn't hold back the sobs that were threatening to escape. "I know, I know. I just...I don't know why I felt like that." Damon took a step forward and pulled me into a hug. "It's okay," he whispered. "Everything's going to be okay." I cried into his chest, grateful fo
Elysia I was in the kitchen, whipping up a delicious meal for breakfast when my phone rang. I quickly wiped my hands on a towel and reached for my phone, expecting it to be my husband or Macy. But to my surprise, it was Hector. My heart pumps fast, my hands got clammy and I wiped them immediately. I cleared my throat before I picked it up. "Hello?" "Elysia, I need to see you," he said, his voice cold and menacing. "Hector, I am bus..." "Or else I'll release those videos of us." He interrupted. My heart lurched as soon as he said that. "Now get your ass here." He growled. My heart sank. I tried to stay calm and collected, but my hands were shaking as I asked him what he was talking about. "You know exactly what I'm talking about," he said. "Those videos of us that I have stored on my computer. I'll release them to the public if you don't do as I say." I hung up the phone, my mind racing. What was I going to do? I couldn't let those videos get out, they would ruin my reput
