Damien checked his watch as he walked into the private air strip. He still couldn't believe a week had passed so quickly. It flew by so fast that he barely noticed, and this was because he had spent most of it with his family. After dinner with his mother the last time, she and his sister Layla had begged and convinced him to stay for a few more days, and he had agreed because he had nothing important to do.It had been a while since he spent quality time with them, and he didn't regret his decision to stay back one bit. Frankly speaking, the last week seemed to be the most fun days he'd had in months.At his large apartment, when he came back from work he would just sit around with nothing to do, but with his family, they had kept him on his toes and busy always and he had enjoyed every moment.He had felt human again, and even though he returned home few days later he still missed them, cherishing the time they’d spent. Now he vowed he would always make time to go see and spend s

KATHERINEKatherine was feeling pretty confident after the bakery incident with Madison. She was glad with how everything seemed to have gone, and even though she was already planning her next move, for now she decided to lay low and not do anything else so soon. All she had to do for now actually was observe. It was necessary for the threats to sink in. So she just stayed in her hotel, checking his things would play out. Today though, she was busy scrolling through her phone, when she remembered that she needed more information on Damien's whereabouts – She had to know if he was still in New York and what plans he had, or if he was not. Better still the only person she could call, and who could answer this questions was his secretary. She also decided to ask why he had canceled his flight, and she was going to ask a whole lot. Katherine was past caring if the secretary would suspect anything, as she just needed to have the necessary information now.Picking up her phone, she di

Damien felt refreshed when he awakened the next morning. He had slept for about ten hours and he was feeling much better now.His visit to the spa yesterday which included a needed body massage, had also helped his intended relaxation. Not accustomed to eating breakfast, he showered and went through his morning routine, and then checked in briefly with his company in New York. It had only been a day since he got to London, but he had already resolved within himself to check in with the manager whenever he got the chance, and so far it was going smoothly. He spent the rest of the morning going through the documents and charts concerning the hotel he was staying in, and so far Damien was impressed. There was practically nothing to complain about. The system was so spotless that he didn't see the need to take over or change anything, as that might even ruin their momentum, and he found that he quite enjoyed how the manager ran the place. He was even considering applying the same syste

Damien checked the address Alvarez had sent him for the fifth time, as he neared the neighborhood. He glanced at it once more to make sure he was correct, and then looked up at the signboard at the beginning of the street, but it was the exact same thing. He couldn't help but feel astonished. He knew Madison wasn't living as comfortably as she used to, and that she was having a very hard time, but he never expected that it would be this bad. The street narrowed as he progressed, and although it had not been raining much, the whole place was basically a swamp. Every house Damien's eyes fell on was dilapidated and tiny, with barely any windows and weak strips of wood that were supposed to serve as the door. For a moment, he began to wonder how she was surviving in this place. It was so terrible. She was really having it bad, and he also realized that this was where she must have been living even before she came to New York, as his private investigator had also made it known to hi

Today, Madison woke up earlier than she usually did, so she had about about two hours to clean, make breakfast and probably dinner as she would be coming back a little late, clean her room and then prepare for work. She felt so much better today than she usually did. The past few days had been somewhat therapeutic for her, and she liked it so much.Shopping with Gina had been a major incident that had brought her happiness, and just yesterday, Mrs Sterling and her other neighbors had invited her over. She had spent nearly the entire day with them, talking and playing with the kids, and when night dawned and she had to leave, she had been quiet, but even then she did enjoy every moment. Madison had decided to make out time to visit her friends in the neighborhood at least once a week, since they’d complained of not seeing her very often since she'd started working, and she knew there was truth in their statement. She left early and came back late, unless she had the day off and on
