SARAH'S POVI had initially thought Chloe was a good person and that I could trust Damon with him. Little did I know she was a bad person. She was just a little bit better than Ella. I tried hard to be nice to her at the party but the way she tried to throw herself at Damon annoyed me. What the actual heck! Though my relationship with Damon hadn't been known to her yet but still, courtesy calls! I came with him to the party as his date for goodness sake.I was so fucking annoyed but I did not show it. But he made efforts, to make me comfortable. Of course, I was shocked when he told her I was the one that got the gift for her. Her reaction was funny and I wasn't cool with the lie either. Why would I get a gift for a goat like her?Soon after the whole thing, we left for Kimberley Royals. I was so annoyed that I was not ready to speak to even Damon. I didn't want to take out my anger on him 'cause he did nothing wrong. I went to bed straight and it seemed like he understood the situati
SARAH'S POVCharles left immediately after he escorted me to our apartment's doorstep. I got in, changed into comfy clothes and decided to prepare dinner or brunch, whatever it was. Getting to the kitchen, I realized there weren't enough ingredients for the meal I wanted to prepare.I sighed out of annoyance and left home with the black card. The grocery store I went to the first time was the nearest to the apartment complex so I ended up going there.The moment I stepped in, one of the attendants walked up to me immediately."Welcome ma'am, what would you like to get? Do you have a list? You can just give it to me, I will bring you everything." The lady said. I had seen her the last time I came but I never had an interaction with her and of course, her behaviour was weird. It was quite obvious that she was out of her character."I will just...get them myself." I replied to her. The generosity was just on a different level. And I did not want it.She insisted on helping me out, then I
DAMON'S POVShe was one adorable being. Truth be told, I was so worried when she said she got a friend. I knew how dangerous people could be. I had not met this so-called friend but I noted it mentally to keep an eye on her.A few days later, the examination results were released. "Check it first." She tossed her phone at me. And I was quick to catch it."Are you nervous?" I asked, teasingly."Of course yes!" She blurted out, trying to calm herself down.I dropped the phone and drew her closer to me on the sofa. "Don't injure yourself. Just calm down." I cooed. She took deep breaths but still found it hard to calm down. Well, I was not surprised. I did worse.Whenever it was time to check my results, I always made sure my mum was with me. I knew so well I would have issues with my dad if I did not meet his expectations.I needed to succeeded in every aspect of my life if I was going to become a leader, according to him.But in this case, I was also very sure that there would be no is
SARAH'S POVIt was finally the day of resumption. I was quite excited and so was Damon for me. I got dressed up, wore a grey-coloured pleated skirt that stopped at my mid-thighs, wore a button-up white shite and layered it with a black hoodie. Then I wore black loafers and put on moderate accessories.I let my hair down after combing it so well and wore lipgloss. I arranged my writing material and books in a white, tote bag then I left the room.I met Damon in the kitchen, rounding up breakfast preparations and I smiled."Babe, you don't have to do this." "But I'll still do it anyways. I grew up among women so if it's my cooking you are worried about, you have nothing to worry about." He replied as he dished out the meal. It was simply egg omelette with sausages. After then, he quickly prepared two cups of tea for us before settling down.I took the first bite and I moaned in pleasure. "This is so nice." I commented and he smiled."I told you." He said.We chatted and laughed over th
*SARAH'S POVNo one told me university lectures could be boring. We were in the lecture theater for about three hours and it was so tiring for me. Nevertheless, I tried hard to gain some crucial things, took notes and recorded the lecture. After the lecture, a guy walked up to the podium and introduced himself as the course representative that had been chosen from our level by the level advisor. He said his name was Blair and he also declared the lecture we just concluded as the last one for the day."Further information will be passed to the level's group chat." He said. He also passed information across to us about the freshers' orientations and all. Then he left.I packed my stuff. My new laptop and writing materials. I hung it on my left shoulder and held onto it tightly, and subconsciously.Someone jumped into my sight the moment I walked out of the lecture theater. I had actually waited for the crowd to move out before I did. It would be a disaster if anyone stepped on my nerve
DAMON'S POVThe day was a busy one. I should have dropped Sarah at the academy myself. I mean, it was her first day but I could not. A lot was waiting for me.Getting to the office, I had Chloe bring me a cup of coffee. She started to put up her funny attitudes but I did not spare her my attention, therefore discouraging her. I did some work on my computer and then left the office for a meeting with the board of directors. The meeting was going to be a crucial one.After I had settled down in my seat, the meeting started and it was announced by Chloe. I had plans to build a new subsidiary for Pinnacle World. Not the entertainment agency in Sichuan this time, I wanted to create a clothing brand and probably cosmetics too. I had pondered it carefully and arrived at the conviction that it would help Pinnacle World Technology a lot as a subsidiary.I discussed it with the board of directors, and the stakeholders. Usually, they were calm that day and everything went smoothly. They bought
SARAH'S POVI woke up in two hours and realized that he still wasn't back. Was he having a good time with her? The thought infuriated me. For the second time, I went into the shower. I was not enraged but I felt mild annoyance, which was more hurting and crazier than burning with anger.I prepared myself a cup of hot tea as it got chilly that evening. I decided to study and headed to the Study. I was there for over one hour then I sensed Damon's presence. He was back."Babe." He called.I swallowed hard, not ready to answer. He would eventually find me by the way.As expected, he walked into the study. "Babe. You were here? I've been calling for you." He said.I forced a smile. "I'm sorry. I must have been engrossed in studying."He lifted me from the chair and placed me on the table. I could predict what he was about to do. He leaned forward to kiss my lips and subconsciously, I pulled away.He looked taken aback."Babe?" He must have been surprised by my act."Are you okay? What ha
SARAH'S POVIt was that day of the year again. My birthday and the same day my mother had her last breath. The day my misery on earth started. It is quite funny how I was met with hatred at birth. The woman who was supposed to show me love had taken all the love with her to the afterlife. I woke up, feeling a throbbing pain in my head. I realized I was the only one on bed. I sighed and got off the bed, then headed to the washroom. I turned on the faucet and began my normal ritual. Crying.It had become a habit ever since I was little, to cry on this day.I cried and cried my heart out, reaching out for my mum who I didn't even have an idea of what she looked like in reality. I was pretty sure I was in that washroom for more than an hour, crying and leaving the tap on.I washed up and entered the room, only for me to see paper bags of a certain popular brand, Givenchy, on the beg. I sniffed and just glanced at myself in the mirror. My eyes were so red and bulgy. I looked into the pap
