Damian Anderson Chapter 30
I woke up the following morning to find Damian still sleeping, but as I was about to get up, I noticed someone was standing by the door staring at us. On a closer look, I discovered it was Sophia shooting dagger stares at us. After a while, she walked out slamming the door after her. I couldn't help but think about what Sophia was capable of, especially now that she has seen Damian and me in bed together. I should probably just start making my last wishes. Damian woke up as his hand searches the bed for me. "Good morning," I said trying to fake a smile. "Good morning" he replied. Using his right hand to pull me closer to himself, he serenades me with kisses "where do u think you are going?" he asked circling my nipple with the tip of his finger. "I have to go get ready for the party, remember?" I said trying to sound as normal as possible so he doesn't notice the building tension in my voice. "Something is off, are you alright?" He asked bringing my face closer to himself, his ey

Erica POV I entered the office with my team members and we were welcome by the uproar of happy cheerful staff. We clinched the project from Oasis company against all odds. The atmosphere was filled with laughter, jokes, and smiling faces. As I worked towards my office I checked to see if Mr. Wallace was in his seat, but could not see him. Mr. Wallace is the CEO of the company. It is very unlike him not to be in the office on a Monday. As I got to my office, I sat down and was about to pick up the phone to call Mr. Wallace, just to check up on him when Frank, one of my colleagues, entered my office. He is the head of graphics design. He is in his early thirties, fine face is of moderate height, and is very good at what he does. Other than that, he is a jerk. He has been bugging me about us dating him for some time now. And he is not taking a no for an answer. He thinks I do not know about his escapades around the office, he has been rumored to be frolicking with most single ladies

Eight years before Erica's POV "Erica, what is wrong with you?" my mum asked, her voice all laced with concern after watching me run out for the third time to empty my stomach in the restroom. I was losing strength as a result of all the energy used in throwing up. I had woken up with a terrible headache, nausea, and a bad stomach upset. "I think, I am having an allergy," I said, to my mum who seem to be inspecting every part of my body with her eyes. "You will come with me to see the doctor this afternoon," She said. "Mum, I'm fine, I'm sure it's nothing," I said, spitting out the bad taste that lingered on my tongue into the washing sink. "Then you have nothing to be scared of, we are going to see the doctor and that's it" She snapped back. ***** We got to the hospital and after some time, the doctor came to ask me some questions which I felt were unnecessary. After which my blood sample was taken for the test. We sat down there, my mum and I were lost deep in our thoughts a
Damian Anderson Chapter 34
Third person's POV It's been eight years since she last saw him, eight good years since he just left her without a word whatsoever. She remembered how she was made jest of, spent days in police detention, watching her parents sell their valuables to help her out, for accusations she knew nothing about. He never for once came to check up on her, if not for Lucas she will properly still be wasting away in jail. Seeing him now brought back so many bad memories she has tried so hard to forget. He is a monster and all monsters need to be treated as one. "What's up with you Erica?" Frank asked staring at her from across her desk. He wanted to know why she was looking all stunned and unable to compose herself even in his presence. Frank had never seen Erica in that vulnerable state before, he wished he could do more but still did not want to overstep his boundaries, she was still his superior after all. "I'm fine Frank, just having a slight headache" she finally said after what felt lik

Seven years agoFlashback "Congratulations, it's a boy!" The doctors said as they showed me, my baby. He looked just like the photocopy of his dad and that made me cry. How can I be the one to suffer alone all through and the baby comes out looking like the dad? It's not fair. Two months later "Mum, the baby is crying," I said, as I hurried up to get dressed to go to the bar where I worked as a bartender "Just breastfeed the baby darling, I'm sure he wants to sleep," Mum said from where she was washing the baby's clothes. "But my nipples are hurting bad and I need to be at work," I said amid tears. "It's OK pumpkin, just bring the baby and his formula to me," daddy said. As soon as my dad carries him, he becomes quiet. "See that wasn't so hard," daddy said with a big grin spread across his face. End of flashback Now "Ma'am, Ma'am, we are here," the driver said, as he opens the door to the car. The ride was a long one and I must have slept off at some point. I opened my eye
Damian Anderson Chapter 36
Erica I have been at home since that unfortunate night at Damian's place. I had called in sick on Friday and was just using that to stay away from seeing Damian. Childish? I know, I can't believe how helpless I am when I am with him. Alex had gone out earlier to visit his grandparents downtown. The house was boring and lonely, and being by myself was not helping my course. My cell phone rang, and I checked to see that it was Frank that was calling. He has been bugging me about being my date for the farewell party for our former CEO. I sighed deeply as I picked up the call. "Hello," I said. "Hey Erica, where are you, I will be at your house in thirty minutes to pick you up, be ready and beautiful," he said, and before I could say something he ended the call. I know I have to go to the party if for nothing, but for my former CEO's sake. I mean, that maas a heaven-sent. He was the first person to give me a shot after I graduated from school, after so many companies turned me down
