Erica's POV "What are you doing here" I found myself asking Damian, who looked far soaked in the alcohol he was drinking. His gaze feasted on my body as I got closer to him, and I could feel the heat rushing to my cheeks just by the way his eyes never left mine. "God you are drunk," I said and tried to take away the glass he was holding, but he held on tight to it. "You caused it, you said you don't want me anymore, do you know how long, I have been searching for you and praying you are safe where ever you were. I finally get to see you and you say you don't want me?"He said in his drunken state. I felt bad, knowing that what we both want is far beyond our reach. I want him but I wanted him to prove to me that he is not the same jerk that abandoned me for some reason I am yet to know about. "Where is Cassandra?" I asked as I looked around to see if there were other people in the penthouse with him, but I found no one. I was deliberately avoiding his gaze as it made me nervous a
Erica's POV "Mum you are late," said Alex, as I rush over to where he was seated with the other students. I rushed down after waking up thirty minutes past Alex's closing time, Damian was still sleeping when I left as I didn't want to wake him up. I more or less just sneaked out, I didn't know how I was going to face him after what happened between the both of us. "I'm so sorry M's Patrick," I said to the teacher who was still waiting for latecomer parents to come to pick up their wards. She just smiled at me while she sat back down with the remaining students whose facial expressions varies. "I'm sorry Alex, I was caught up with work in the office," I said, as I walked with him back to my car. I felt bad for totaling forgetting the fact that I was supposed to pick him up from school. I opened the car door and we both went inside. All this while, he was uncomfortably
Damian's POVI checked to see that the time is 8:01 pm, and she was nowhere in sight. I was getting nervous, I didn't plan on going to her house without her authorization.But what if she does not come? Just then, I heard the car pull up in the driveway. I tried to look as bossy as possible so she doesn't go all tough with me. But God I was glad she came, I had to change my decision of us meeting at the hotel. I wanted her to come to meet me at home, so I can tell her my side of the story. She walked into the sitting room, I stood up to face her, and God she was looking very beautiful in her body-fitted blue jeans and white chiffon ruffled top she had on, her hair styled into a bun.She looked ravishing."You look beautiful," I said, after some moment of awkward silence. It is amazing how I am still fond of her after all these years, I always feel complete whenever I am around her.If someone had told me back then in school before I met Erica, that I will be hooked up to one girl, i
Erica's POV "Kidnapped? What do you mean, they have been kidnapped? Who kidnapped my son?" I questioned frantically. "Erica you need to calm down, I'm sure he is fine, the person that has him wouldn't dare lay a finger on him, my men are already doing all they can to retrieve him," I said as I tried to calm her down, with the hope that, Marcel will not be able to hurt the little boy. Marcel is a Mafia Don who has been wanting me to get involved in their shady business, my dad had an understanding with them, and after he died, they felt I should return the same favor as did my father. But I turned them down and ever since, they have been looking for ways to make me bend to their rules. He is very violent and considered very dangerous. But how he knew that Erica had a son before I did, bothered me. This only means one thing, he is got a tag on me. They were so many questions going through my mind, I can't believe Erica has a son, she sure doesn't look like she has had a baby, excep
Erica's POV I woke up the next morning feeling very tired and hungry, didn't eat anything last night, I checked to see that Alex was still sleeping. Poor child yesterday must have been hectic for him. I checked to see if his temperature was fine as I pull the duvet to cover him more, the room was icy cold. As I was about to leave the bed, I heard the door open Damian came in, carrying a tray of bacon, egg, cheese sandwich, jam donuts, yogurt, and nice-looking juicy apples. My stomach rumbled at its mere sight. But, being that I am still angry from our little fight last, I pretended not to be interested in what he was carrying. "Good morning," he said carefully placing the breakfast tray on the empty bed space before me. "I figured you might be hungry so I woke up early to prepare you something, I wasn't sure of what you would like, so I pretty much just did a little of all these so I can still catch you in time on the bed," He said, while he fixed his eyes on the tray. I just sa
Damian's POV "What is wrong with you? Are you trying to give my girl a heart attack?" I said, to Cassandra who started laughing hysterically. "You should see your face," Cassandra said referring to Erica, who seem lost in what was happening around her. "What's going on?" Erica asked still looking confused. "It was all a setup," I said looking at her puzzled face. "I don't understand," Erica said. "Well your baby daddy figured out, you were too proud to admit that you loved him so he used me to try to get to you," Cassandra said amidst laughter. Flashed back scenes. Night after Erica left Damian's house Damian's POV.
Erica's POV "So what is going to happen now?" I asked after a long time of silence. Cassandra was sitting close to me, while Damian stood at the far end of the sitting room. We have been deliberating on how to handle the marriage issue between Damian and Cassandra. The press has gotten wind of it, and it was slowly becoming the talk of the town. I just sat down there feeling bad and guilty, because I somehow feel this was my fault. I mean, if I had just accepted Damian the first time we met, all these troubles won't be happening. "I'm so sorry guys, I did not know how this got out so fast," Cassandra said, sounding genuinely sorry, from her tone of voice. "It's alright Cassandra," Damian said as he walks towards us. "I should be the one saying sorry, I should have just told him it was a rumor when he called me, I am so confused, this is why I hate bringing press into my personal life, they have a way of escalating things," Damian
Cassandra's POV After the show, we sat down, counting our money backstage. the business has been very slow lately because people that come to the club these days hardly spend as they should. Big spenders do not come to locally owned clubs for their own safety sake, as there have been reports of extortion, robbing, and drugs being slipped into the customer's drink. So they rather go to big clubhouses, where they are assured of security and safety precautions. "What's up with you and Damian?" Sophia asked, after some time of watching me arrange my money. "Nothing much, he has found his girl and making plans to discard me soon," I said in a sad tone. "So after all these years, he still loves and wants her," Sophia said, a lot of envy is evidence in her tune. I have been friends with Sophia for close to five years now. We first met when she came as an escort with another Mafia Don that was killed by Gabriel. He then took possession of her and made her his whore. She told me of how
