《Billionaire’s Heir》


 Chapter one- A surprise visit

    Myra¡¯s POV


    ¡°Signs,¡± I tried to stand from the couch but it seems that my waist is on fire, and my protruding tummy seems to be getting bigger.


    An idea pops into my head when my eyesnd on my phone which has wallpaper of my husband Damien, and me. It was taken on our wedding day. I kept staring at the picture and it seemed just like yesterday as we walked down the aisle. Everything seems so perfect¡­


    Thirty minutester I¡¯m driving to Damien¡¯s office dressed in a white-flowered short preggy dress.Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org.


    I remember Damien once told me he didn¡¯t like surprises and surprise visits to the office, but this was different, I was going to finally tell him the baby¡¯s gender. This is something he has waited patiently for six months to hear, smiled sheepishly imagining his reaction when I disclosed the gender of the little human that we created together¡­


    Memories of the night that resulted in my Lil bump came ying how gentle, sweet and romantic he was on that cold night. The honking of horns jolted me to reality and l decided to stop in one of his favorite restaurants to get him lunch. I knew with the kind of busy schedule Damien has, he mostly skips lunch.


    I got to the office of Graham Group and alighted from the car and gave the keys to thepany¡¯s valet to do this work and gently made my way to the elevator.


    I can¡¯t wait to see his handsome face when he opens the door and finds me standing at his front door or when I tell him about the baby¡¯s gender to my surprise the door was slightly open, and seeing Damien¡¯s angry look got me worried.


    Stepping into his office and I whispered his name in a quiet but sweet tone, he seemed not to notice my presence but was focused on the mail he was reading that made his face appear cold. He looked up noticing my presence and tried to hide his worries by shing a stilted smile.


    Looking at the time clock beside his table and it was already past noon, I quickly offered him his lunch while he was at it, I gently made my way to the couch and he asked in a strict voice.


    ¡°I told you I don¡¯t like surprises why didn¡¯t you call beforeing, or at least inform my secretary, Mr. Jack,¡± I opened my mouth to notify him of my purpose ofing but he shut me up by asking me to leave and go home and wait for him.


    I stood up and made my way to his table to at least give him a tap kiss but he stopped me mid-way by asking me to leave immediately. His words were hurtful and at that moment I regretted my decision.


    I released a breath I didn¡¯t know I was holding. My eyes brim with tears ready to flow, I spark around and run out of the office¡­


    ¡°S**t!¡± Damien cursed as he ran towards me.


    ¡± Myra, please! Listen to me I can exin,¡± he said with some traces of hurt and anger in his voice.


    ¡°There is nothing to exin Damien, go back andplete whatever work you were doing,¡± I snapped at him with some new energy I didn¡¯t know  I still had left in me.


    I ran outside before he could utter a word and entered the elevator leaving him behind.


    Immediately I got inside the car I allowed the tears to flow and sobbed like a baby. Looking at the scan picture I wanted to show him made me burst into another round of tears, it hurts so much.


    How could he treat me with so much hate, I regretted my actions, ming myself for going against his rules, heaving out a loud sign. I turned on the ignition and drove off with Frank Ocean music thinking about you, ying and I sang along¡­


    The buzzing of my phone jolted me back to reality and I turned down the volume of the music while connecting the call to my ear pod.


    The soft feminine voice from the other end made me smile ¡°Hello Mrs. Graham I¡¯m calling from Catherine hospital you¡¯rete for your antenatal appointment,¡±


    Oh gosh! I had forgotten about my appointment with the gynae. I immediately told the nurse to book me in and that I am already on the way.


    I arrived at the hospital premises before getting out of the car. I wanted to call Damien, to notify him of my whereabouts but remembering ourst encounter made me resist that urge.


    I got out of the car and made my way to the gyno¡¯s office. After reviewing the test results the doctor announced that the baby is in perfect condition, and l will soon be due for delivery.


    I was in high spirits after hearing the doctor¡¯s report, I can¡¯t wait to wee my bundle of joy.¡±Smiles¡±


    Driving out of the hospital I called my bestie Sonia, We have been friends since childhood more like sisters because we always had each other¡¯s back.


    Sonia picked up and was happy that her bestie decided to call because we have not spoken in two days, before she could say anything I told her that I am on my way to her house and I told her to make shrimp spaghetti I am craving that at the moment, Sonia chuckled and before saying ¡°okay Mrs. Graham at your service,¡± and we bothughed before ending the call.


    I arrived at my friend¡¯s house and was ready to share all the juicy gist with my bestie but first things first I needed to eat because it seems I haven¡¯t eaten in days. After eating I decided to tell Sonia everything about my unborn baby and the day¡¯s activities while carefully omitting my earlier misunderstanding with Damien. Sonia was excited she was going to be a godmother soonest.


    We started making ns on the baby essentials where to shop and stuff to buy.

 Chapter two- Shopping Day

    Myra¡¯s POV


    It¡¯s already past 10 pm and yet Damien is still not home, I couldn¡¯t sleep. The thoughts of something bad happening to him got me scared. I got out of bed and made my way to the lounge to call my husband¡¯s secretary Mr. Jack.


    ¡°Hello Mrs. Graham hope all is well ma¡¯am¡±


    ¡°Signs¡± I am sorry Mr. Jack for calling sote in the night, your boss isn¡¯t home and his line isn¡¯t avable so I wanted to find out if he¡¯s workingte tonight,¡±


    He clears his voice and speaks in a formal tone, ¡°Mr. Graham had an urgent meeting so he¡¯s out of town but he will be back tomorrow,¡±


    I said ¡°Ohhh!¡±  in a hushed tone and Mr. Jack asked if there is anything he will assist me with, I turned down the offer and thanked him before ending the call.


    I decided to go to the kitchen and prepare a milkshake hoping it will help me relieve tension. Standing close to the window staring at the sky ¡± my life is as gray as the clouds that I witness through my windows. But the gray cloud will disappear once it rains. And I hope all my worries would disappear as well.


    I tried calling Damien¡¯s number again this time it rang but he didn¡¯t pick up I quickly sent him a text ¡± Babe I miss you let me know when you get this, I love you¡±


    I decided to go and rest my body because the baby¡¯s kicks are bing intense.


    It¡¯s morning already, and I got out of bed to use the restroom and also have a bath. I turned on the shower and allowed it to drain my body. The feeling has a way of rxing and soothing the body.


    The buzzing of my phone made me step out of the shower and enter the bedroom I picked up my phone from the dress stand and it was Sonia calling


    ¡± Hey, preggy bunny wanted to find out if we can go to the baby shop today¡± smiling. I said yes to her. At least it will keep me busy and I won¡¯t have to worry about my husband.


    I stood in the mirror admiring my naked body most especially my baby bump while speaking and praying to my Lil one. I haven¡¯t chosen any name for her because I am yet to tell Damien about the baby¡¯s gender. I signed and moved to the dresser to pick out something nice to wear.


    Taking out a pair of jeans and a white tee, I got myself ready to meet up with my bestie, arriving at Sonia¡¯s house and the smell of pancakes and fried eggs made my stomach rumble, reminding me how hungry I was. After breakfast, I went to the lounge while Sonia cleared the dishes and also dressed up.


    We got into the car and drove off while ying Count on me by Bruno Mars. We sang our hearts out while yfully mimicking each other, and we arrived at the mall and walked toward the baby clothing stores.


    We shopped for some baby essentials, pram suits, rompers, sleepsuits, goodies, and socks. We selected pink, yellow, and white colors. We also checked for a baby shower deco, and after the shopping, we decided to go have lunch in one of the ssy restaurants.


    We arrived at Golden Greek restaurant and while waiting for the waiter toe and serve us, I got a message from my husband informing me that he was home and wants to see me. I had to quickly text him back that I¡¯m with Sonia but will be back soon.


    Sonia can easily notice that my mood changed because I was very excited and asked if it was Damian. I said yeah, and she giggled. The waiter arrived and we ced our order, I ordered macaroni and cheese and Sonia ordered apple pie, our order arrived and we ate in silence after the meal, I settled the bills and we left the restaurant, we got into the car and I dropped my bestie in her house after hugging and kissing each other goodbye.


    I started driving home in a high spirit, more like I¡¯m so eager to see my husband, Damian means the world to me. Looking at his blue eyes makes me weak to my knees ¡°Gosh¡± I¡¯m in love¡±Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.


    Driving back to the mansion and all my thoughts centered around Damian, I arrived and quickly got out of the car ready to meet the love of my life, but it seems Damian isn¡¯t so pleased to see me. I went close to give him a wee hug instead he took a few steps back and gave me a cold stare.


    My fragile heart can¡¯t take all this mean treatment and I forced myself to ask him ¡°why he is being too cold to me,¡±


    His reply gave me shock ¡± you don¡¯t have any right to question me, I owe you and I do whatever I want,¡±


    How arrogant and rude could he be, I¡¯m dreaming someone please wake me up. This can¡¯t be my charming and loving Damien. What happened? What did I do wrong?


    Just as I was about to tell him about the baby¡¯s gender, his phone rang and he quickly picked up, it was Mr. Jack informing him that his mum Empress Graham is requesting his presence in the grand vi, he asked if there is an emergency and his Secretary said No then he replied with okay while turning to look closely at me and ended the call with a sign.


    He looked worried even though he makes an effort to hide it, then he told me that he has employed a live-in nanny and she will be arriving at the mansion today, he veered around to go


    I called out his name ¡°Damian can we talk, please¡±?? He turned and took some steps forward and said in a soft one ¡± go on please ¡±


    I smiled and look into those dreamy eyes of his and said, ¡°We are expecting a baby girl,¡±


    He didn¡¯t say anything and his face was void of emotions, he looked at me and nodded his head, and left. I was confused and broken and I  sat down on the couch and allowed the tears to flow.

 Chapter three- Visit the grand villa

    Damien POV


    I got into my room and went straight to the cer, took out a Johnie Walker whiskey, and poured out some for myself ¡°Hmmm this liquor has lifted my mood¡±. The ringing of my phone made me snap back to reality and I dipped my hand inside my pant pocket for the phone, looking at the caller id got me worried.


    My mum Empress Graham is a tough one and I know her reason for wanting to see me but I have to protect Myra at least for her condition at the moment. Suddenly thoughts of Myra flooded my head, the way she smiled and her excitement when she was telling me about the baby¡¯s gender, even though I have known about it for weeks now but I decided to keep it to myself.Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.


    Gulping down the remaining liquor, I ced a call to my secretary to inform the driver that we will be heading to the grand vi in a jiffy. I moved to the bathroom to take a shower and after that, I applied my unscented body lotion and took out a in white tee and dark blue faded jeans, and sneakers to fit, I took out Olive Christian¡¯s Imperial Majesty perfume and sprayed it.


    The buzzing of my phone alerted me to my secretary¡¯s call, and he informed me that Mercedes Maybach was waiting outside.


    I went downstairs and met my wife Myra sleeping on the couch. She looks so adorable that I couldn¡¯t resist the urge to nt a kiss on her forehead and carry her upstairs to my room so she could sleepfortably. I got to my bedroom and ced her on the bed gently so she wouldn¡¯t wake up and covered her small body with a quilt. I heard her whisper my name in her sleep, smiled, and slept back. I watched for a moment then turned and left the room while gently closing the door.


    I got into the car and sent my mum a text that said ¡± I am on the way¡±  so she won¡¯t continue calling. The ride to the grand vi was a quiet and meditative one. I closed my eyes and dozed off with my worries, the car stopped at the grand vi and my Secretary had to tap me to inform me of our arrival. I opened my eyes and stepped out of the car and walked toward the hallway.


    My mum came in and hugged me tightly while asking if I came with Myra, she never loved her and has always seen her as an outsider. We moved to the lounge to have a conversation but she insisted I have dinner before any other discussion. The maids served potatoes and spinach, chicken kebabs, and shrimp noodles for dinner. After eating, we left the dining room on the patio. My mum cleared her voice. This is her way of telling you that she is ready to talk. I turned around and looked at her waiting for her to speak.


    She asked about the baby¡¯s gender and I told her it was not necessary since Myra will be due for delivery in a couple of days, and we should wait and find out. She doesn¡¯t look pleased with my response, ¡°shaking her head¡± she asked if I have forgotten the reason she consented to my marriage and also if I have forgotten the Graham Empire is at risk of copsing without an heir.


    I didn¡¯t utter a word, the look on my mum¡¯s face is enough evidence to show that she was in pain, the cracking of her voice, and the way she is holding her scarf tightly as if she was holding back the tears. This broke my heart, I can¡¯t stand my mum in pain. I have watched her build thepany alone after my dad¡¯s demise. Mrs. Empress Graham, I can¡¯t watch what you worked hard to build crumble. If giving her an heir to the empire will make her happy then I have to do something about it.


    I hugged her tightly and whispered in her ears that all will be fine and I won¡¯t let her down. She looked at me and smiled, I could see the tiny teardrops around her eyes and I brushed them out with my hand. We discussed other stuff about thepany¡¯s headways and chatted more.


    Looking at my Hublot big-bang wristwatch and it¡¯s already past 11 in the night, bade my mum goodnight and pecked her soft cheeks, and left the house. Immediately I got into the car, I ordered the driver to take me to my favorite club. I need to relieve this stress. I checked my phone and noticed that Myra had called severally but I wasn¡¯t in the mood to talk to her at the moment. The Mercedes Maybach stopped in front of Lusty strip club and people watched in awe. I got out of the car and got inside the club, ordered a martini, and took two shots while sitting and watching the strippers seductively remove their clothes piece by piece.


    My eyes caught on two beautifuldies seductivelyp-dancing each other, I signaled to my secretary to ask thedies to join me,¡± It¡¯s going to be a long and fun-filled night¡±. Thedies came over and I paid them to strip dance and entertain me. While enjoying the view in front of me. Thoughts of Myra crept into my mind and I can¡¯t help but feel pity for her, she doesn¡¯t deserve this. Maybe a littlepanion from me won¡¯t hurt till she delivers.


    ¡°Sighs¡± I called my secretary to notify him that it was time to head home and have a nice rest, I got home and the secretary and driver bade me goodnight and moved to their quarter. I noticed that Myra was still sleeping and the new nanny had resumed, so I freshened up and moved to my study. There I had a lot of paperwork I needed to sort out.

 Chapter four- Permission to stare

    Myra¡¯s POV


    A new day has dawned bringing with it dreams and aspirations, drawing closer to my EDD ¡°(expected date of delivery)¡±. I rolled ufortably on the bed as I felt the reflection of the sun¡¯s rays forcefully making its way into the room and resting on my face.


    ¡°Signs¡± I flipped over to back the sun¡¯s reflection, but I can still feel the heat, I opened my eyes and stare at the room, and instantly I got up from the bed realizing I¡¯m in Damien¡¯s room ¡°the only time I shared a bed with my husband resulted in pregnancy and that was on the night of our wedding, after that he insisted on us having a separate room, how then did I end up in his room, on his bed¡± this is a mystery.


    Rubbing my eyes and yawing I remember falling asleep in the lounge on the couch, someone might have carried me here. Thoughts of Damian carrying me in his hands made me chuckle, just as I was about to sneak out of the room Damian entered he looked at me without saying anything, and I greeted him but he replied with a nod and turned and left for the bathroom.


    I stood there waiting for him toe out so, we can discuss the photoshoots and the baby shower prep. After taking so long he¡¯s finally out of the bathroom. He smelt fresh minty body wash and his smell filled the air, his jaw hardened and his piercing blue eyes stared frostily into mine as if they were about to freeze me into ice. I can¡¯t help but stare at his half-naked wet body, his broad shoulder, curly hair, and his well-defined abs. He turned and nced at me and lifted his cool fingertips to my lips ¡°try closing your mouth while staring so you don¡¯t swallow a fly¡± he chuckled.


    I was ashamed of myself and tried to leave but he held me back saying ¡°since you decided to watch me get dressed then you have to stay till the end with that he took off his fluffy white towel, revealing ¡± the exceptionallyrge package¡± he took out his sexy underpants turned and faced me before wearing it.


    Damian smirked and said ¡± Do you like what you see? I was speechless, and I could not pull my eyes away from the bulge in Damian underpants. He is enjoying the effect his body has on me. I sat down on the bed and allowed him to finish dressing up. I cleared my voice and asked him whether he has any ns for the photo shoot he looked at me and said ¡± go ahead do whatever you want, I will ask my secretary to transfer some cash to your ount¡± tears blurred my eyes but I hurried to hold back my sadness ¡± why is he so cold and mean to me, and the fact that he doesn¡¯t want to help out with anything that concerns our baby¡±.


    He picked up his briefcase and without uttering a word, he walked towards the door and left without a goodbye


    Feeling extremely sad and miserable, I came out of Damian¡¯s bedroom, just then my phone rang and it was Sonia. I picked up the call ¡± Hey preggy bunny, there is a new studio in town that we can use for the photo shoots, if you are free we can go check it out and maybe take the shots today that¡¯s if you are strong enough¡± Sonia is a free-spirited person and the way she looks after me like a big sis.  ¡± Huh¡± okay, I replied but you cane over to the mansion so we can go from here, she said okay and ended the call. ¡± Phew¡± I felt extraordinarily weak but I managed to drag myself to the bathroom to get ready.


    Coming out of the shower naked, The smell of my shower gel vani erotica filled the room and I moved to the dress stand taking out my strawberry essential oil. I applied it to my damp skin and dried my silky ck straight hair. I applied Lil makeup and sheer lip gloss to my plump lips. I took out a ckcy bra and panties to match, pink biker shorts, and a ck tee. The rumbling of my stomach reminded me that I haven¡¯t had breakfast just then there was a knock on the door


    ¡°Come in please¡± I answered


    The new nanny entered and greeted me. She is an elderly woman and should be in her mid-forties. She has a beautiful smile with brownish dancing eyes. She¡¯s petite and has a cheerful personality. I smiled and asked her to sit on the couch so she could befortable. She smiled, obeyed, and introduced herself by the name Mrs. Sarah.


    She asked what I wanted her to fix for breakfast and I requested bacon, fried eggs, sausage, baked beans, toast, grilled tomatoes, and ginger tea.¡± Ginger tea has been of great help with reducing my nausea and morning sickness, it has be part of my breakfast routine since I became  pregnant ¡±


    Mrs. Sarah¡¯s voice jolted me back to reality asking whether there is anything else I want her to do. I looked at her, smiled, and said no for now. Sheplimented my outfit before leaving the room. I arranged some of the items I will need for the photo shoot then went downstairs to have my breakfast. While sitting and waiting for the food to be ready I decided to look up for baby girl¡¯s name on my phone while at it Sonia arrived and the security guards ushered her in, and she joined me to select the baby¡¯s name while we waited for Mrs. Sarah to serve breakfast. We picked the name Aria for my unborn child, it¡¯s a unique name with a beautiful meaning.


    We finished breakfast and left the dining area so Mrs. Sarah can clear and tidy up the ce and we then wait for the driver to arrive,¡± Damian has instructed me to stop driving by myself and that I should always allow the driver to do his job¡±This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.


    I stood up to use the bathroom and immediately I felt a sharp pain below my abdomen¡­

 Chapter five- Photoshoot Day

    ¡°Ouch!!¡±  I screamed trying to hold the couch to steady my bnce, while Sonia and Mrs, Sarah stayed beside me looking worried and asking if I¡¯m okay. In a sh, the pain was gone and it felt like nothing happened. Sonia suggested we go see the doctor but I waved it off telling her I was okay and that it was one of those cramps thate with pregnancy, unknowingly.


    The driver arrived in a Bugatti La Voiture Noire car, the car was gifted to me by my husband on our wedding day, and was very expensive. We got into the car and drove to the new studio with Sonia giving the direction on how to locate the studio, We arrived at a semi-detached purple duplex with the name Foxy sh studio, the environment is calm and peaceful and the building has a breathtaking view more like something made out of wondend. We got out of the car and walked to the foyer, where we met their receptionist ¡°she introduced herself as Miss Dimples and asked if we came to inquire or already booked an appointment¡±. I told her both since I have already decided to do the photoshoot today,¡± Miss Dimples brought out a document and asked that I sign and make payment before they will start arranging the decoration and the baby prop for the picture.


    After the payment and arrangement, we were ushered into arge room, the floor was made of colored tiles arranged in jagged patterns, and the walls were made of ss revealing additional views of the city and the mountains to the east. A frosted ss partition separated the room from the lobby. Silk banners hung from the ceiling. Polished stone pedestals held golden and silver sculptures portraying pregnant women, breastfeeding mums, and their infants. Everything in the room was rich andvish, I was awed by the luxurious deco. I dressed up in a bandeau top and a flowing maxi skirt for the first session. I changed into a pink puffy tulle robe for the second session and a La Pe lingerie with a touch of red and ck color for thest session. The pictures came out perfect.


    After the photo shoot, we left the studio for the shopping mall to get some baby toiletries and some hospital essentials, in the mall we bumped into one of my schoolmates Megan, who¡¯s known for her whoring and expensive lifestyle, her target is always the billionaires she gets close to them, then she ends up having a transactional one night stand with them. Though she is beautiful with her chubby body, busty boobs, and well-shaped bum. She never liked me in other words she sees me as a threat and doesn¡¯t hide it.


    ¡°Hey¡± she gave us a cold smile more like she is trying to smile but there is a sneer behind the smile. The lips turn up but the eyes aren¡¯t smiling¡± We returned the gesture


    ¡± she turned and looked at me with disdain and said did you end up a single mum or with a poverty-stricken low life as a husband she let out a wickedugh, but my diamond wedding ring cut her attention and she now turned to look at me this time around, her looks were more of doubt and she said is that a diamond ring on your finger or a replica¡±, I smiled and elegantly stretched my fingers and said it¡¯s real Megan, she scoffed and looked at my Prada Cleo Crystal embellished purse and said this must have cost a fortune,¡± she asked in a bitter voice which of the affluent family are you hooking up with because I¡¯m sure your looks won¡¯t attract a wealthy man to you¡±


    ¡± Sonia couldn¡¯t stand her insolent attitude and told her to get lost, that I am not a whore like her, rather I am legally married to Damian Graham, the handsome and young top richest billionaire. She also told Megan to be careful because bullying Myra will only get her behind bars¡±.


    ¡°Megan couldn¡¯t believe what she heard about the famous Damian Graham married to Myra, a shy and naive girl not just that she is also heavily pregnant with his child, but she looked furious and unable to control her anger. She walked out on us without a word¡±.Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org.


    Immediately after she left, ¡°Sonia came and hugged me telling me not to take Megan¡¯s bitter words to heart that she is just jealous of my position and I should not forget that she never liked me¡± I thanked her for standing up for me, she is more of a sister that I never had. After shopping, we left the mall for the beauty parlor to get our hair and nails fixed. Getting there was a little queue, and we had to sit out and wait for our turn. I started feeling pains below my stomach and backache, this time the pain was intense and I started sweating despite the air conditioner being on


    Sonia sat beside me and kept on rubbing my back and encouraging me. At some point, the pain came at irregr intervals but I was determined to finish from the beauty parlor before calling the doctor. It was our turn and I told the hair beautician to switch my hair color from a ck brte to copper brown and style it into a messy bun. I wanted something bold for a change, did my pedicure and manicure, and also had my nails varnished with scarlet gel polish. Sonia got her hair styled in wavy blonde and also did her facials, I settled the bills and also tipped the stylist for doing an amazing job. Immediately I stood up the pain became unbearable and I didn¡¯t know when I gripped Sonia¡¯s hand tightly and I felt the amniotic fluid rupturing and the water sshing on my body and the floor, and I screamed ¡± the baby ising¡± while crying and trying to inhale and exhale.


    Everybody in the beauty parlor panicked and looked for a way to help out, Sonia hurriedly went to call the driver and I was assisted into the car. The pain was vast as if my body is being crushed into a million pieces and I couldn¡¯t help but groan and wail, the ride to the hospital seem endless, and instantly I felt this urge to ¡°PUSH¡± Sonia kept begging me not to push that we are almost at the hospital and I tried to resist the urge to do so, the more I try the more painful. Immediately we arrived at the hospital and I was wheeled into the ¡°LDR¡± (Labour delivery and recovery room).

 Chapter six- Arrival of baby Aria

    We got into the ¡°LDR¡± and the doctors and nurses got things ready. On my left hand, I have a cann attached to my wrist with epidural drugs being administered by one of the nurses. The pain has be intense but I was instructed by the doctor not to push, till I am told to do so. I turned and was surprised to see Damian in the hospital room. I can¡¯t remember calling him because I thought he might be busy. I was scared he might turn down the offer if I told him toe and be my birth partner.


    His presence gave me hope and a new kind of strength that I didn¡¯t know I had, for a moment it seemed as if the pain was no more. The doctor was ready and informed me that it was time for delivery and Damien was beside them.


    Then the doctor instructed me to push but I didn¡¯t have any strength and I am beginning to feel weak. Damien came to my bedside and said ¡± ¡°Look at me babe, look at me,¡± he moved my face so our eyes would meet.¡± You have to push please, you need to listen to the doctor, our child¡¯s life and yours are solely dependent on it¡± he pleaded in a panicky tone, he was fidgety.


    ¡°Ouch¡± I screamed in pain, my breathing wasbored, and sweat trickled down my forehead as I clenched to the sheets trying to lessen the immense pain I was feeling. Damian inhaled deeply while trying to calm his nerves for a moment before his hands reached for my sweaty palms, and his fingers interlocked with mine, he held my gaze ¡± Will you push out our baby now¡± his voice was pleading.  The pain has be unbearable, and I hold tightly to his arm and my nails digging into his flesh but he was numb and all his attention was focused on me.


    The doctor  and the nurses took their separate position


    ¡± Please, push the doctor¡¯s instructed¡±. A nurse gently stroked my head and belly soothingly. I couldn¡¯t endure the pain anymore and with thest drop of strength left in me I pushed out our baby, The shrill cry of a baby filled the room.


    ¡± You have a baby girl¡± the doctor announced


    I smiled and turned to look at my baby and mumbled her name Aria, all this Damien was busy looking at both of us, he took hold of the child after she has been cleaned up, I stared at them lovingly with tears welling up in my eyes, for the first time Damian looked at me with a cold smile. Sonia came into the room excited and eager to carry Aria, she congratted Damian and stretched out her hands to take Aria from his Dad but instead, he looked at Sonia with anger and dropped the baby on the cot, and walked out of the hospital. Sonia was surprised but didn¡¯t try to ask questions when she caught a glimpse of tears on my face.


    ¡°Congrattions, Myra,¡± Sonia said and I smiled and thanked her.


    ¡°Congrattions, my friend, your baby is a cutie,¡± says one of the nurses. Aria is a beautiful baby, she has the blue eyes of her Dad, a set of deep dimples, pink lips, filed nose, and ck curly hair. Aria is Damian¡¯s replica, she only got myplexion and defined fingernails.


    Aria¡¯s cry jolted me to reality and the nurse handed her to me to breastfeed her. Immediately my nipples touched her mouth, she grabbed onto them as if her life depended on them, I couldn¡¯t help but chuckle at her reaction. I stared at her, admiring the little human I created with Damian, it seems just like yesterday I got pregnant. She finished sucking and I kissed her forehead, held her close to my chest, and rocked her happily while standing close to her luxurious crib. An off-white crib with a touch of pink. It was so beautifully crafted, I had it specially done for Aria before her arrival. She was wearing a yellow onesie, and a pink hand mitten was used to cover her tiny hands to prevent her from sucking her thumbs. Iid her down on the crib and covered her up with a pink fluffy nket. The weather was a bit chilly. The nursemaid walked in and announced that it was time for the baby¡¯s diaper to be changed and also for her vital signs to be checked too and she carried baby Aria to the adjoining room.


    Shortly there was a knock on the door and my mum iw Mrs. Empress Graham entered the room. She looked at me like I¡¯m supposed to kneel and bow to acknowledge her presence, but I didn¡¯t allow her attitude to change my mood. I smiled and said wee mum ¡°She scoffed I have told you to stop calling me mum, I am not your mother and I will never be, always address me by my name Mrs. Empress Graham and you¡¯re expected to speak when you are told to do so¡±


    ¡± Sighs ¡±  ¡± she asked where my cutie grandson is, that¡¯s why I¡¯m here to see him¡± I was shocked at her words but I cleared my voice and told her it was a girl and her name is Aria and she is beautiful and looked exactly like Damian. A roaring pnded on my cheeks before I could finish off, I held my face and tears gushed down my cheek and Sonia came to my defense. ¡°Empress looked at me with pure unbridled anger ¡± What did you say you gave birth to?¡± ¡± How dare you, what¡¯s your usefulness when you can¡¯t even fulfill your purpose of being married into the family¡±


    My eyes widened in shock and I asked her if she pped me because I gave birth to a girl child.¡±She pointed at me ¡± If you dare ask me that again you wretched thing I will set aside everyst restraint I have in me and I promise you, you wouldn¡¯t like the result¡± I stared at her in bafflement. The nurse brought in the baby and ced her in the crib to continue her nap and left. Mrs. Empress walked close to the crib, stood, and gave the baby a cold stare before walking out of the room.


    ¡°You okay,¡± Sonia asked as she stood beside me


    ¡°Yeah¡­I¡¯m good.¡±


    Sonia tried to console me, telling me that  ¡°Everything will be fine and I should not allow her words get at me or see myself as if I¡¯m not good enough¡± she hugged me tightly and kissed my cheeks.This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.


    ¡°Okay then¡± ¡­Bye Myra,¡± She smiled and I nodded


    ¡°Bye Sonia. Thanks for all you do for me ¡± I smiled and waved


    She left the room and plugged her earphones into her ear, I looked at the time and realized I haven¡¯t eaten and I¡¯m so damn hungry. I picked up the inte and called the hospital¡¯s restaurant to ce an order for oatmeal, sweet potato, salmon, nuts, and milk. In a sh, Damian barged into the room face contorted in rage, his eyes glowed with savage fire, his jaws and fits were clenched and his lips curled ¡°how dare you to talk back to my mum¡± His voice was hardened ruthlessly. I tried to speak but couldn¡¯t utter a word and my throat held back a sob and a shout but the tears spilled over and flowed down.

 Chapter seven- A cold morning

    Myra¡¯s POV


    The sun streaming through the huge window woke me up in the morning, slowly and reluctantly I uncovered my face. I blink, close my eyes, and blink again. I sat up, dragged my feet off the bed, and rubbed my knuckles into my eyes. I stretched my arms above my head and yawned. Thoughts ofst night flooded my mind, and I tried my best to shake it off by going to have a cold shower, it helps in rxing my mind. Standing in the vanity unit and looking at the mirror, my mind drifted to that horrible night eight years ago the night my parents left me in this cold world alone and lonely.


    My parents, the Walters, were a good and loving family, my Dad Carter Walter was a sophisticated, well-mannered, and cheerful human who loved and protected his family dearly. He had the aura of a tiger because I remember people were very cautious and respectful when talking to him. He had a sea rover- blue eyes, bristly eyebrows. He had tousled dark ck hair which was thick and lustrous. He had a hawkish nose and defined cheekbones. He was a stud. He was married to Selena Walter his wife, and my mum she was beautiful with green emerald eyes, a well-defined facial structure, she has the body of a supermodel, and long brte hair that reached her lower back in natural waves, her hair also had some natural blonde highlights that shimmer in the light, her skin color was like a shining pearl and she always wore a big amodating smile, she was my best friend and confidante.


    I wasn¡¯t born in luxury but they tried to give me the best, dad was a sales representative and mum was a registered nurse. Their bond was unppable, even without having a luxurious life, they were each other¡¯s strength. Their love was without restrictions, conditions, expectations, resentments, and convenience. Their love was unconditional.


    It was new year¡¯s eve and my parents decided that we should have a mini family getaway to celebrate their anniversary, I was excited because unlike other ones we hosted with friends this one is special because we will be going to Mahe ind in  Seychelles, it is a white sand beach with turquoise water and has a beautiful granitic rock formation that is amazing for hiking and spectacr jungle views. I¡¯m a lover of nature and I have read about the ind a thousand and one times. You can imagine my excitement when I heard about the mini vacation.


    It was a cold and foggy morning as it had rained very heavily the previous night. Dad was behind the wheel driving at a normal speed and mum sat beside him while I was seated at the back. The road was already congested with traffic and we were running a bitte because of our flight schedule.


    Dad was a careful driver and although we were alreadyte, he refused to drive fast on the slippery road. There was a trucking from the opposite direction and the driver was at a high speed not minding the weather. Unexpectedly the truck collided with us and dad lost control of the wheel, and we crashed into a tree. Dad died on the spot, mum had bruises and cuts on her body, and her face was covered in blood ¡± Don¡¯t close your eyes, the ambnce is on the way nothing will happen to you, I continually tapped her hands and cheeks while trying hard to keep mum conscious, soon an ambnce arrived at the scene and we boarded but unfortunately, she died on her way to the hospital.


    Looking at the lifeless body of my parents, I stared wide eyed-open, my heart skipped, I was frozen to a ce and felt a sharp pain in my chest and my breathing changed, everything seemed so fast like the whole world was crumbling around me. I cried bitterly calling on my parents to wake up or better still take me along. It left an indelible imprint in my mind to date.


    Having no rtion to stay with, I was then taken to an orphanage home where I was forced to endure all manner of harsh treatment but I was delighted to grow among other kids, and I never allowed my circumstances to define me.


    ¡°Sighs¡± while gently wiping the tears from my face, I searched the cab for my locket, it has the picture of myself and my parents it was gifted to me by my Dad on my 16th birthday, looking and touching the picture on the locket, I spoke in misty eyes


    ¡± I miss being with you, I miss your presence, I miss being around you, your absence makes me sad, your absence is hard to deal with, keeping watching over me Dad and mum I love you forever¡± I kissed the picture and closed it.


    A tap on my shoulder startled me back to reality and I turned to see Mrs. Sarah looking at me and her eyes filled with concern, she wrapped her arms around me and whispered in my ear ¡± they are in a better ce¡± I held her tight and sobbed my heart out, it seemed just like yesterday, nothing seems to make sense at the moment, I was broken and if hugs healed, I did hold her all day. I let go of her and then asked why she needed my attention, ¡°she clears her voice while trying to wipe the tears from her eyes then she uttered in a brittle voice that baby Aria needed my attention but seeing me in that mood is heartbreaking and for a moment she forgot her reasons for wanting to see me¡± I thanked her for lending her shoulders for me to cry on, then we left the room together to Aria¡¯s room to attend to her. We got to the room and met her yawning and sucking her thumb, she looked so endearing.N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material.


    I quietly mumble while picking up Aria to breastfeed ¡°Dad and mum would have been delighted seeing their granddaughter¡±.

 Chapter eight- Highest bidder

    Meghan¡¯s  POV


    Sitting in the cer sipping my Ciroc vodka and going through my phone, suddenly a message pops in and it¡¯s from Jim ck Hat the owner of Lusty strip, the popr stripper¡¯s nightclub in town, it read ¡°He will be around tonight for a stripping prom ¡°. I giggled because finally, my ns of meeting Damian Graham will soon be a reality. I always have a way of getting what I want, having to offer Jim sex for him to spill when the famous Billionaire Damian will be around, is nothingpared to what I will achieve. I am a whore who goes with the highest bidder.


    I was pondering on how I will be able to enter the Vip lounge because only the lead dancer is been allowed inside, just then an idea crossed my mind and I took my cell phone and dialed Jim¡¯s number, he picked up at first ring and I told him to switch my ce with that of the lead dancer so I can have close ess to Damian, he chuckled before responding ¡± Meg you know any offeres with a price right¡± I said yes and he spoke in a conceited manner  ¡°fuck and ride my d***tonight. I¡¯ll make you the lead dancer for the VIP department¡± I smiled and agreed with the offer, but told him it would be an office quickie because I have ns of spending the night with Damien, he agreed with the ns and I thanked him before ending the call. I can¡¯t exin how happy I was finally, meeting the famous handsome billionaire is a plus in my life, not just that I am going to be his stripper, I couldn¡¯t believe my ears and I did a jumbo happy dance. Jim has been a great value to me without his connection I won¡¯t havee across the wealthy dudes in town, I am grateful to him even though he asks for s** In return, I don¡¯t mind. I don¡¯t need to secure a job or stress because a night with my clients gives me the luxury to maintain my expensive style of living.


    I moved to the courtyard while grabbing my Marlboro cigar, flint striker, and receptacle. Sitting and puffing out smoke helps me to calm my nerves and envision. I began to shback to my high school days though I have always been wild and deviant, and always go for the most handsome and the affluent guys but Myra always has a way of getting the attention and being the center of admiration, with her naive and timid personality, I have always been curious about what¡¯s so unique about her, a poor orphan with no luxury item to her name, except for the fact that she¡¯s intelligent, has a golden voice and beautiful with a model-like body, her outfits were mostly worn out and shabby.


    I despise her with every fiber of my being and I always try to bully her at any slightest opportunity. I always want to see her miserable. It ddens my heart. Reminiscing on our prom party, I have always had eyes on the school head boy the handsome and rich Marcus and I was expecting him to ask me to be his prom date, I was so excited that I emptied my piggy bank to buy a designers dinner gown and got a new hairstyle, unluckily he asked Myra out on a date in front of the whole school. I was shattered and that day I vowed to make her life a living hell, for taking what was rightfully mine. Though Myra didn¡¯t ept and turned down Marcus¡¯ proposal, this infuriated me and I hated her the more for being so courteous.Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.


    ¡°Call me evil¡± but Myra was my nightmare


    ¡± How can she be so perfect? ¡± I snuffed out the cigarette I was holding in anger and left the patio for the bedroom to get dressed for shopping. I need to look stunning tonight, and also to impress Damien, thoughts of him made me smile and I wondered if he would consider me worthy of being his mistress. From the information I gathered about him, I heard he¡¯s very cold and mean, and has the aura of a devil and he hardly smiles. Still, I was determined to get entangled with him, I can¡¯t afford to lose in the mary aspect and also it was my chance to make Myra¡¯s life a living hell.


    I got dressed in a Balmain designer crimson color tee and ck shorts and a Valentino ankle-wrapped shoe with studded straps. I¡¯m always obsessed with looking perfect. I came out of the house and locked the doors and got into my Porsche Cayenne car. It was a gift from one of the clients that were pleased with our intimate moment. I turned on the ignition, connected my phone to Spotify, and yed starships by Nicki Minaj while driving to the mall. I parked the car and got out, I was about to lock the car when Jim¡¯s call came requesting we change the venue for our appointment to a guest house ¡°ughh okay I replied, and he chuckled before ending the call. The mall could be described in one word ¡°amazing¡± everything was colorful and carefully organized, I moved to ¡°Victoria¡¯s Secret store to buy some clothes, and I selected corsets and bustiers, teddies, sexy bras and thongs and asymmetrical cut-out mini gown and a red tube dress. I ced my outfits on the counter and the cashier packed and calcted the items I paid for them and left the store. I got into the car and decided to stop by and see Jim in the guest house for the d*** appointment.


    Getting to the guest house I noticed he was there already, lying naked on the bed and wanking his d*** I cracked up at the view, Jim has an uncontroble desire for s** yet he doesn¡¯t know how to quench a woman¡¯s sexual desire. He noticed my presence and beckoned for me toe in, I entered the room and started undressing while he scrutinized my body.

 Chapter nine- Stripping dance prom

    Damien¡¯s POV


    My eyes widen at the sight of my mother entering my office


    with a smirk on her face, leaving me groaning, knowing what she¡¯s going to say. The same thing that made me get married, even when I didn¡¯t want to, leaving me frustrated.


    ¡°Why are you doing this,¡± She asks, eyebrows furrowed as she eyes the files on my desk. Then she turns to look at Jack, my assistant for the past three years. One of her hands goes up to lift her sunsses, ¡°Damian Graham it¡¯s unlike you to ignore my calls, is it what that poor orphan has done to you, how can-¡±


    I cut her off, dropping the pen onto one of the files before pulling my sleeves into my elbows, I signed deeply ¡± I¡¯m always busy mum¡± I responded, my voice sounding low and almost inaudible, she rolls her eyes ¡± You are wasting time son, all I¡¯m asking is for an heir for us to secure the empire if the womb of that wife of yours, can¡¯t carry a son then you have no other option than to impregnate another¡± she stood up and cleared her voice, and said ¡± Think about it, I can¡¯t watch what I have so worked hard for go down the drain¡± she turns around as she steers towards the door, closing my eyes I sighed.


    I walked to the window and looked down from my top-floor office at the hustle and bustle down below, I felt bereft, adrift, and just downright bored. Life has be somewhat mncholy. And my mum isn¡¯t helping at the moment, all I want to do is sit out and have fun and forget that every other person¡¯s existed, I thought about Myra and wondered how she is faring with the baby, thest time I saw them was at the hospital it¡¯s been weeks, though my secretary fills me in on their daily activities. Getting married to her was mum¡¯s idea with the sole aim of birthing a son, and now that she didn¡¯tThis content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.


    fulfill that, should I throw her out like mum suggested or give her another chance? I shoved my hand in my hair making a tangled mess, I nce at the table timer and heaved a sigh of relief it was almost time for the stripping dance prom, this was what I need at the moment to relieve stress but I need to clear my desk and sorted out the important documents for the new project investment I am conducting at the moment. I have been expanding ourpany into a different extension since I took over from mum, and I have aplished a lot within a short period which has made ourpany the first richest and leadingpany. I¡¯m proud of the way thepany is expanding and mum is super proud of my achievements. I sat down on the vinyl chair and flipped through the flies on the table. I stared at the new project investment file intently trying to concentrate but it seems like a better part of my mind is filled with tonight¡¯s activities. I¡¯m eager and excited to go to the prom bash, I took my cell phone and dialed Mr. Jack¡¯s number immediately he picked up ¡°I told him toe to my office immediately¡± he tapped on the door and I ushered him in and asked him to sit. While I filled him in on project work and also instructed him to finish it up before leaving the office, he nodded andmenced immediately without asking questions. Jack has been of great help to me and he¡¯s so meticulous about his work. I also told him about my tonight¡¯s activities in case there is any emergency, he should be on alert. I bade him goodnight and left for the elevator, getting on the ground floor where the chauffeur was already waiting. I got into the car and headed to the hotel to get ready.


    Arriving at the Grand Casino hotel, it¡¯s luxurious, elegant, and calm I have been staying there for a while, I got to my room and threw myself on the bed while staring at the top and unbuttoning my shirt, and imagining the scious night ahead, chuckling I got up and stripped down to nothing, and went to the bathroom after shaving and having my bathe I got out of the bathroom and moved to the closet and put on a white brief and a white undershirt, I applied my vani butter lotion and sprayed my cologne thenbed my hair and pulled out a maroon tee and a blue jean, simple but ssy, I got set for tonight¡¯s show. Thoughts about how women will be unting themselves around me got me amused and I strode to look at the mirror, satisfied with what I saw, I chuckled and nced at my Hublot bang wristwatch, it was almost time and I decided to call the chauffeur to inform him that I will be using my Rolls Royce Phantom car for tonight¡¯s activities. I love the way all my luxury automobiles are always the center of attraction.


    I got down to the hotel base and the car was already waiting, I stood and waited for the driver to open the door so I can get in, the driver got down and bowed his head as a sign of respect and quickly opened the door, I got in and we drove off to Lusty strip. The ride down was a bit bumpy because of the traffic, but I wasn¡¯t unsettled. We arrived at the club and I was escorted inside by some of my security guards already waiting for my arrival. Immediately we got inside, Jim ck owner of the club came and bowed and directed us to the VIP section. I noticed how some females were winking their eyes and their initiative invitation. I smirked and maintained a cold look, I¡¯m already used to this kind of disy of admiration. I sat down while the security guards stood behind me, and the waiter came with my regr whiskey and cigar. I took my Benson switch cigarette and lit it up then puffed out smoke, just then lights on the club were changed to the neon automated luminaire and the stage backdrop was drawn, I smiled and rxed in the leather armchair knowing it was time for thrilling entertainment.

 Chapter ten- Share my bed tonight

    Damian¡¯s POV


    Immediately the stage backdrop was lifted and a group of beautiful dancers came to view, they were all putting on a gold shimmer bralette and thong with strap heels to fit, and they had colorful waist beads adorned to their waist. Their hair was styled in a ponytail and they had heavy makeup, smokey eyes, and a shimmery lip gloss. The manner they were swaying their waist to the instrumental tune was a beautiful sight to behold.


    Just then the music went off only for the lead dancer to show up in a silver shimmery bralette and thong with a strap studded heel, her face was covered in a silver butterfly mask, she wore blue-eyed waist beads, her blonde hair was cascading down to her hip line, her cleavage was barely covered, and the way it jiggles was seducing, her gold translucent skin looks like something made from medusa¡¯s body. The way she seductively swayed her hips and pouted her lips stirred me down below. Just then the music came on and they started pole dancing n stripping but my attention was focused on the lead dancer, it was more like she is trying to get my attention with her sultry moves, her eyes winks, and her twerks. I signaled to Jim and immediately he ran to my side looking terrific, fearing that I might cancel the party or maybe not gratified with the performance ¡± He immediately bowed his head and started apologizing that they are sorry for not meeting my expectations¡± I chuckled and told him that I am enjoying the party, that I want the lead dancer to strip for my view only, hearing this he was a bit relieved and thanked me before leaving to carry out my order.This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.


    Not quite long the lead dancer came into the VIP section and started dancing while I lit my cigarette and watched her intently. She took off her bra revealing her ample boobs that were covered with a heart-shaped tattoo and her protruding nipples were pierced in a v shape while caressing and fondling her boobs, she took off her mask and stare at me with lustful eyes, she smiled and came close to me twerking her a** vigorously, then proceeded to remove her panties in a slow but sensual way.


    ¡°Damn¡± I shifted and tried to conceal my hard-on, it¡¯s been a while since I had s**  and I am not the type to be easily turned on but it seems like I¡¯m on heat.


    I watched as she veered around her back and pulled her panty leaving me glued to the gigantic, well-rounded, soft, and bouncy bum. Then gradually turned her pu*** while showing her long pierced cli**


    It¡¯s more like she had all her moves organized because with every step she takes.


    ¡°Damn,¡± I just want a taste of her love buds¡­


    ¡± I watched as the famous mean Damian turned restless in his chair. I knew my seductive effects have stirred him because his joystick is hard, but my n is for him to invite me to share his bed intimately tonight. I need to tease him more so I climbed onto the tuna pole seductively and made sure I was facing him squarely then parted my legs making sure he was having a good view of my pu*** While rubbing my clit with my index finger and moaning softly, I gradually brought my index finger to my lips and licked the juice off my finger. The look on his face was amusing.


    ¡°Smiles¡± I am ready to do anything to be his mistress even if it implies licking the grounds he walks on


    I danced a bit on the pole making sure to jiggle and twerk my curvy and ample ass, then I came down and moved to the studio cab and took out the s*x toy, and proceeded to the fur rug to give him the best entertainment for the show, I carefully positioned the dildo and climbed onto it in a reverse cowgirl manner and bounce and twerking my a*s with the dildo inside while moaning loudly, caressing and squeezing my boobs and my juice dripping out, I maintained eye contact with him and made sure I had a full effect on him. In the seduction game number, the number one rule is to always maintain eye contact and also, give a sultry stare. The crash of a ss jolted me into reality and I stared in awe.¡±


    Watching her alluring and erotic moves, I lost control of myself, and the only way to snap out at the moment is to create a temporary distraction, and that¡¯s when I hit my hand violently and broke the wine reflector, and snuffed out my cigarette. I tried to stand up but I couldn¡¯t because my hard-on was quite visible. After noticing my difort she came and started giving me ap dance in her nude form. The way she was moving her waist and twerking to the rhythm of the music was too magical.


    ¡°Oh mine¡±  It felt as if I was in a charming enchanted fairnd.


    I leaned closer to her, while I tucked her shiny hair behind her ear and my other hand rested on her well-rounded soft a**, I spoke in a hushed tone ¡°Share my bed tonight¡± I watched her face lit up in happiness and she beamed and nodded her head, I knew she won¡¯t be able to turn down my offer because from all her sensual and sultry moves, I knew she yearned for my magical touch, the same way I desire her lustfully.


    I smiled knowing that tonight I¡¯m going to f*** her fast and furious. I looked at my Hublot bang wristwatch and noticed it was already past 2. 00 am. I told her it was time to leave the club and go spend some intimate moments together, she grinned, nodded, and excused herself to use the washroom. I signaled to Jim to prepare the tab, I made payment and tipped him $2000, and also informed him of my intention to spend the night with the lead dancer whose name I¡¯m yet to figure out. ¡°He chuckled and thanked me for the tip¡± while I made my way out of the entrance.


    I left Lusty strip club in high spirits while I got settled in the car, waiting for her toe out of the club, I got a call from my secretary asking about my location and safety and also informed me that he was done working on the documents, I heaved a sigh of relief and assured him that am safe and will soon be heading to the hotel to cool off, I advised him to go home since he¡¯s done with the office work. Immediately I saw her walking out of the club, wearing a mini red tube dress that defined her features nicely and walking elegantly which drew the attention of bystanders. I dropped the call and signaled to the driver to call her attention, immediately she noticed my expensive car and smiled.


    She got seated and we left for the hotel. The ride to the hotel was a smooth sail because she never took her hands off my thighs caressing them in a circr motion. We got to the hotel foyer, and she whispered to my ears ¡°You have expensive taste¡± I grinned at the supposedpliment, then held her waist while we got into the elevator.


    Standing in front of hotel room 8709, I slotted in the room card and unlocked it, and immediately we got in she took off her gown and hugged me tight, and she started kissing me real hard, I have no order option than to return the energy, I grabbed her b**bs and yanked off her bra, setting free those sexy b**bs and I grabbed her nipples with my mouth, and sucked them as if my life depended on it.


    ¡°Gosh¡± her soft moans triggered me more and I tore her panties and slid my finger inside her honeypot. I teased her clit a lil bit and noticed that she is dripping and her juice is already trickling. I carried her to the bed when I couldn¡¯t control the urge anymore, I undressed while she admired my body and stare at me lustfully, I took off my briefs revealing my hard-on  9¡å d*** instantly she grabbed it and started sucking and licking it like a lollipop, with the way she moans and sucks em at the same time fondling my nipples


    ¡°Gosh¡± this is paradise I¡¯m lost¡±


    When I couldn¡¯t keep up for long, I picked her up nid her down in the center of the bed, while nting feather-lit kisses on her face n neck, I gently parted her legs and wore my cd stuck in my d*** and fucked the hell outta her juicy pot. Even with my rough and fast pounding, she kept switching styles, moaning and pleading for more.


    ¡°Damn¡±


    ¡°She¡¯s a badass bitch¡±

 Chapter eleven- Scary game

    Myra¡¯s POV


    I tapped my feet uncontrobly against the hard marble floor, while I stormed angrily from the bed, to the wardrobe, and from the wardrobe back to the bed. Why is my husband bent on making life a living hell for me?


    He even went as far as leaving the house without informing me or even letting me know of his whereabouts.


    Why is he trying so much to push me out of his life?


    ¡°Sighs¡± The more I think about it, the more I feel goosebumps all over my body.


    ¡± What happened to the gentle and caring man that swore to protect and make me happy till eternity, I hate this kind of feeling of helplessness¡± Why can¡¯t my marriage be like that of my parents, they were each other¡¯s support system and they were transparent. Their love was inseparable¡±


    I love my husband Damian so very much and he¡¯s the first man in my life but I guess this is my fate to be tied down to a loveless marriage and a mean mother-inw.


    ¡°Sighs¡± I went into thevatory, I need to get a temporary therapy session.


    I turned on the shower and let the warm water flow freely down my bare, tired body. I hope this helps!! I hope this would wash out all the helplessness or should I say regret that I feel right now. I had fantasized about him being so loving and caring, I had dreamt of cooking him, potato and hot chili soup his favorite. I had imagined massaging his weary body each day he gets back from work and cuddling him to bed. But those dreams had gone up in mes because I ended up getting married to a loveless mean Damian.


    My marriagecksmunication and genuine emotions it feels so unreal


    This should be a dream and I pray to snap out of this nightmare sooner thanter or I would end up losing my mind.


    Now here I am, in a marriage of convenience with a handsome, mean, and billionaire husband who only cares about his shares and sees marriage as a game.


    I closed my eyes as the water poured freely on my skin, if only it could wash away the pain and tears that I feel right now. Yes, I am in so much pain right now. I am angry at life for ying such a scary game on me, I am angry at myself for not being able to save my parents from the cold hands of death. Maybe if I had saved their lives, life wouldn¡¯t be this miserable.


    I was still lost in my thoughts when I heard someone banging on the door


    ¡°Hey BFF! What are you doing inside?.. You have been in there almost forever, Sophia queried


    ¡°Sophy¡± l screamed happily ¡± sheughed and threatened me saying you better get the hell out of there or I will be forced to break open the door¡±


    I chuckled and told her that she didn¡¯t need to threaten me, that I wasing out already, I turned off the shower and wrapped my white fur towel around my breast region before stepping out from thevatory. I unbolted the door and ran to give my best friend a big hug with the towel hanging loosely around my body, we have missed each other.


    We let go of each other and Sophia looked sad and worried. Even though she tried to hide it byughing and joking around, her eyes were saying a different thing. I didn¡¯t hesitate to ask her about this issue, knowing she is not the type to be seen with a sad look. I smoothed her hair and held her shoulder staring at her


    ¡°Are you okay Sophy?¡± Have not seen her like this, is there anything wrong? Her teary eyes were the answer I needed to find out all is not well, I pulled her in for a hugThis content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.


    ¡°I am sorry bestie, but what happened?¡±


    She wiped frantically at her eyes ¡°I lost my job¡± she said in a rushed whisper.


    ¡°What,¡± I asked in disbelief. There must be a misunderstanding somewhere


    ¡°I needed someone to talk to. I was hurt badly knowing how difficult it is for me to get a good job as an intern so I can afford to settle my bills¡± she wiped her tear-stained face.


    I exhaled deeply, tears welling up in her eyes ¡°Come here Bestie¡± I enveloped her in a bear hug, my hands caressing her back. This unlocked the barrier causing the torrents to flow nonstop. Her crying intensified and she clung tightly to my body, her head resting on my chest, her sobs raking through her fragile body frame.


    I kissed her hair repeatedly trying unsessfully tofort her ¡± Come on do not cry  Sophy, please I hate to see you cry¡± I rubbed her back in a circr motion. she held on tightly and cried for a while before she finally stopped. Time passed by fleetingly and all the while I didn¡¯tin or hasten her nor did I stop sping or stroking her back all through.


    I cleared my voice saying ¡°I will find you something and you wouldn¡¯t have to deal with any of this anymore I promise you¡± I smiled at her reassuringly.


    She returned the smile. Sophia is a cheerful human, with the way she lets go of things will amaze you.


    The rumbling of her tummy made meugh and I told her that I will be treating her to a lunch date in one of the fancy bistros since I¡¯m indulging her on a mollycoddle day. Her eyes widened at the mention of food, Sophia has always been a foodie no matter what she¡¯s dealing with at the moment, food always seems to pacify her.


    ¡°I¡¯m not in the mood to go out, you can ask the chef to prepare anything avable Sophia uttered


    Noticing that she is still not cheerful, I stared at her with a smile saying I need to make you feel better, best friend.


    ¡± I think I already feel better talking to you my bestie and since you decided to treat me to a memorable lunch date I won¡¯t turn down the offer¡± we both giggled, I knew she won¡¯t be able to resist the offer.


    I wore a free monochrome dress and white puma sneakers to fit and we went to see Aria before leaving the house, also instructed her nanny to call immediately if there was an emergency, we got into the car, and drove off to the restaurant.


    We got to the restaurant, parked and got down, and walked down to the foyer. We halted and scanned the building. It seemed pretty fancy and ssy. We got in and chose a spot close to the window so we could watch passersby and the busy street.


    We picked up the menu on the table and ced our order of burgers and fries with two bottles of chilled coke. The waiter took down our orders and left. while waiting for the waiter to serve our grubs.


    I saw a jet-ck Rolls Royce Phantom car stopover not too far from the restaurant and Meghan alighted and blew kisses to the owner of the vehicle before he drove off at high speed. Then she gged down a cab and got in and they drove off, I stared at the blurry site of the cab in awe.


    ¡°Are you okay?¡± Sophia asked while slightly drumming on the table to get my attention.


    I nodded my head and smiled to assure her that I am okay.


    ¡°I don¡¯t think so Myra, you look as if you just saw a ghost and you also seemed lost for a moment¡± she insisted


    ¡°I¡­um¡­I am sorry dear just thought I saw something but not sure


    Just then our order arrived and Sophia immediately shifted her attention to the food, she took a bite¡­ ¡°Mmm, she closed her eyes as she relished the taste, this is so delicious¡±.


    I kept staring out the window pondering


    ¡°Could I be dreaming, was it not my husband¡¯s car, how can he be connected with Meghan????


    My eyes must be ying a trick on me.

 Chapter twelve- Convince me

    Myra¡¯s POV


    Sitting on the couch absentmindedly flipping the tv channels, I can¡¯t seem to shake off what I saw earlier in my head. Could it be that Megan is somehow connected to Damian?


    Is it possible that Damian is cheating on me?


    No!! No!! It¡¯s my mind ying tricks on me, I picked up my phone and dialed Damian¡¯s number for the fifth time today, luckily it rang and I waited and prayed patiently for him to pick up


    Finally, he picks and spoke in a cold tone ¡°I¡¯m in the office and very busy at the moment, if there¡¯s anything you need, do well to call Jack and inform him, and for thest time do not call during the office hours, you can always leave a message¡± with that he hung up without finding out my reason for calling.


    This time around I wasn¡¯t going to allow him to shove me down like a scary little cat, I have to speak to him with that in my mind. I dialed his number again and he picked up with a whiz.


    ¡°What¡± he snarled


    Hey Dame, I was thinking if you coulde back home tonight, there is something I would like us to talk over, I spoke in a calm and imploring tone.


    ¡°He sighed and then spoke in the deadliest voice ever, alright don¡¯t stay up waiting for me wille over to your room when I¡¯m back home¡±


    Immediately I felt a cold shiver down my spine and I murmured thank you before he ended the call.


    I stared at the table timer and noticed that I¡¯m alreadyte. If I am going to speak to Damian about my intentions of getting a job then I have to get my CV prepared, I don¡¯t want him to think I¡¯m bluffing. I sat down on the chair and startedpiling my CV on theptop. If everything works out fine after speaking with Damian then I have to also plead with him to employ Sonia in thepany. What if he dissents my idea, what will be my way forward, should I also apply to be a tutor in a dance school as my second option? Stretching my body I tried to shake off the negative thoughts


    ¡°Everything will go well I silently prayed¡±


    It was evening already, and I was extremely exhausted from trying topile the CV and other requirements. I needed to take a break. I have been so stressedtely. I signed softly then arranged the file and went downstairs to have my dinner.


    Getting to the kitchen I asked the chef to prepare macaroni and cheese then I went to check on Aria and her nanny, entering her room Aria was having her bath and she enjoys sshing soapy water, and her angelic voice was filled withughter, she¡¯s a beauty to behold just like her dad. I waited for the nanny to finish bathing her, and then I dressed her up in a streaked yellow romper and fed her with form. I sang some cradlesong to her then she fell asleep I quietly tucked her in to avoid waking her up because that will be another struggle altogether. I covered her tiny body with a quilt and then gave her a feather-lit kiss on the forehead which made her giggle in her sleep. I stood and watched her for a moment before exiting the room.


    Ouch!!!! I¡¯m famished


    Sitting in the dte, waiting for the chef to serve my meal, and my phone rang. I checked and noticed the call was from an unknown caller. I picked up and the caller was a man, his voice was deep and soothing, and asked if I was Damian Graham¡¯s wife. I replied yes and he ended the call.


    ¡°Hmm¡± I tried calling back the number but it wasn¡¯t avable so I waved off the thought.Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org.


    Not quite long, the chef served my meal and I ate in silence, after the meal I called Sonia, and checked on her to make sure she was alright. She picked up and replied in a sleepy tone, I apologized for waking her then said goodnight and ended the call.


    Mmm¡­ Thank goodness she¡¯s okay, It feels as if a burden was lifted off my shoulder. I went upstairs and then stopped over in Aria¡¯s room to check on her, I gently opened the door and peeped from the door, seeing that she was sleeping peacefully, I shut the door and walked to my room. I went inside the bathroom to shower after that, I tied my towel loosely on my body and proceeded to the wardrobe for my nightwear.


    Coming out of the bathroom, I met Damian sitting on my room couch going through his phone immediately he noticed my presence, he dropped his phone and a cruel smile curved his lips when his eyes fell on my body. Watching him running his hand through his hair, giving him a sexy disheveled look, I became dizzy and I could feel butterflies dancing in my stomach, my palms and feet suddenly became cold. The way his eyes were scrutinizing my body made me nervous.


    Why am I feeling this way?


    Why does he have so much effect on me? Why is my body stupidly yearning for his touch? The way he is looking at me makes me feel like I don¡¯t have anything covering my nude body.


    Did I mention how sexy he was?


    I looked up and he was smirking and let out a small chuckle and said ¡± Why do you look so excited that I am staring at your body, are you that eager to feel my touch?¡±


    I bowed my head in shame, was it so obvious that I wanted him?


    Why is it that he always reads every thought of mine


    Does he derive joy in taunting me?


    Still deeply in thought, I didn¡¯t notice when he stood up from the couch and came very close to me, and lifted my chin with his fingers. Sweet masculine cologne wafted through the air. The smell was just subtle like the ocean breeze, and mist. A bolt of sparks shot down my body and I tilted my head backward, he smirked and dered


    ¡± c¡¯mon say it ¡±


    I tried my best to avoid his burning gaze because looking at those beautiful green eyes and those longshes of his would have made me lose whatever strength I had left.


    Seeing that my body is vibrating from his touch, he traced his finger from my chin down to my cleavage and was observing my body movement. I let out a moan when his mouth came close to my ear as if he was about to whisper, hearing that he chuckled loudly and went to sit back on the couch.


    Looking at him smirking and enjoying the effect of his closeness around me, I closed my eyes trying to muster up the courage to act like his presence does not bother me. I opened my eyes and met his eyes still watching me, I gently excused myself and took my nightwear, and ran inside the bathroom to get dressed.


    Damian¡¯s  POV


    Her room was bathed in a warm glow of lights, I moved in and noticed she was in the shower. I had to wait for her toe out so we could talk about the so-called important discussion. I wasn¡¯t expecting her toe out of thevatory looking so alluring. The way her towel was hanging loosely on her body and her cleavage was on disy, her wet hair stuck to her body, with the drips of water on her body, stirred me down below, and I couldn¡¯t resist the urge not to touch her, caressing my fingers around her cleavage and watching her body quiver from my touch, hearing that soft sweet moan from her, made me desire her more all I wanted at the moment is to yank the goddamn towel out of her body and pleasure her till she screams for more. All I want is to feel her delicate hands all over me, right now. But I restrained myself.


    Harking back to our wedding night, the night I took her virginity was an unforgettable experience. Who would believe that a girl as beautiful as her is still chaste? How she was whimpering under me in pain. She is a novice when ites to s** but she kisses so damn good


    Myra is indeed a beauty goddess, with a model-like body, intelligent, and a golden melodic voice that sounds as if the angels are singing to your ears when she talks. She is the real definition of beauty with a brain. Our marriage was arranged by mum for the sole aim of an heir, I only married her to fulfill mum¡¯s wishes but she doesn¡¯t have a ce in my heart.


    I watched here out of the bathroom wearing a silky polka dot emerald green nightwear and her hair was tied in a ponytail. I cleared my voice and signaled to her to sit so we could discuss whatever thing she said was important. I noticed her face lit up with smiles and she went to pick up a file from the study table and handed it to me. I gave her a quizzical look before going through the file, looking up and I met her staring at me.


    ¡°Exin this¡±  I queried


    Looking at her face she seemed frightened and the way she was stuttering and picking her nails is enough to tell me that she is scared, I might refuse her request.


    ¡°Is that how you are going to act if I possibly employ you¡±


    ¡± His words startled me, I wasn¡¯t expecting to hear those words just maybe not so easy


    He wasn¡¯t asking why I wanted to work or giving me a hard time.


    Or making me miserable or acting his normal cold and mean self


    He¡¯s doing none of those


    How possible


    Today might be my lucky day just maybe¡±


    I was about to reply when he spoke in a sharp and cold tone


    ¡°Don¡¯t rejoice yet, I have to know why you suddenly want to work. I need to know if you arepetent enough.


    So instead of staring, you better start convincing.¡± he smirked


    ¡°Just when I thought he won¡¯t give me a hard time guess I am wrong


    He won¡¯t change suddenly


    I¡¯m grateful that he even has the mind of hiring me all I have to do is convince him, so he won¡¯t change his mind


    I cleared my voice to speak but he stopped me midway saying


    Don¡¯t bother, I have a special position for you. It will suit you perfectly and it¡¯s a post of a secretary, not just any kind of secretary but my personal secretary.


    I was overwhelmed with happiness and I hugged and thanked him but he chuckled and said


    ¡± I¡¯m not giving you the job of a front desk secretary, you don¡¯t qualify for that


    Your job is to make my coffee, write down important information when I¡¯m in a meeting, run errands, answer my calls, and carry my briefcase.


    This shouldn¡¯t be a problem for you right he asked in a mocking voice


    Then he continued since you¡¯re mywfully wedded wife, you should be able to care for your husband. It¡¯s more like I¡¯m going to pay you for doing nothing, absolutely nothing¡±.


    I looked up and our gaze met, and he smiled scornfully and said


    ¡°Do you still want the job or you¡¯re backing out¡±


    I decided not to give him the satisfaction he wants, I nod my head and spoke out this time I wasn¡¯t stuttering, I didn¡¯t know where this sudden confidence and energy came from


    ¡± Thank you I will ept the job,¡± I told him about Sophia¡¯s predicament and pleaded with him to help her secure a job.


    He scoffed and then said all you have to do is convince me.

 Chapter thirteen- Sleeping beauty

    Myra¡¯s POV


    I woke up to a big bang on the door, who could be knocking aggressively like this?


    I turned to look at the rm clock beside the bed and it was already 7. 00 am, I yawned and stretched my body still not feeling like getting out of bed.


    ¡°Huh¡± one of thatzy days I assume, another banging on the door followed by Damian¡¯s angry voice


    ¡± Can you open this door guess you have suddenly turned into a sleeping beauty¡±


    I jumped out of the bed immediately and ran to unlock the door, and came face to face with an angry Damian, he roughly held my hands and stepped inside the room, and pushed me to the floor.


    He looked down and said, ¡°I don¡¯t employ sluggish humans, if you think because you are my wife, I will condone nonsense then you will have to think again.¡± He sighed and turned to leave the room then stopped midway and said ¡°make sure to be in thepany by 8. 00 on the dot¡± with that he left the room and mmed the door shut.


    ¡°Phew¡± So much for a new day


    I have to get ready, for a new employee first impression count, I don¡¯t like the idea of beingte on the first day so I quickly scurried to thevatory to get ready, I hurriedly bathed and came out to get dressed, I selected a ck trimmed skirt and a ck and white polka dot sleeveless top with red stiletto heels and a red Birkin bag to match. My hair was pulled back nicely in a ponytail and I applied lip gloss since I was almostte. I didn¡¯t want to waste more time wearing makeup. I gave myself the once-over look in the mirror before heading out. ncing at the watch, and realizing I have just a few minutes left, I quickly went to see my daughter Aria and kissed her goodbye then got into the car and drove to thepany.


    I got to Graham¡¯spany at exactly 8. 05 am, I¡¯m already a few minuteste, and I was scared and anxious about Damian carrying out his threats. I silently prayed and hoped he wouldn¡¯t notice. Stepping into the lobby, I met some employees who were excited to wee me while some weren¡¯t that pleased but made an effort to hide their real feelings. Just then Secretary Jack came to meet me, and I was d to be out of the ring eyes of the employees. Immediately after we left they formed a small circle and started talking in a hushed voice and some were even pointing at my Birkin bag arguing about cost.


    ¡°Good morning Ma¡± am, please I was instructed to show you your office when you arrive, please do follow me ¡± with that he turned to lead the way but I stopped him midway


    Excuse me Jack,


    ¡°He veered around and gestured for me to ask whatever that¡¯s bothering me


    I peered at him and then asked if my husband Damian is waiting for my arrival, Hoping he wasn¡¯t tho


    He replied ¡± No he¡¯s having a meeting at the moment but will be out shortly¡±N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material.


    I said okay and he asked if there is any other thing I want to ask, I shake my head indicating that I am done. Then he smiled revealing a set of white shiny and polished teeth before leading the way. I gently followed him and we got into the elevator. We arrived at the topmost floor where Damian¡¯s office is, we stepped out of the elevator and I was introduced to his front desk receptionist, and she stood up and bowed. I must admit that she is courteous and has a professional demeanor.


    ¡°I¡¯m not surprised with the way the employees are going about their duties, they are all scared of him.


    We approached a ss door that has a golden tag with CEO written on it, I have been to his office so I knew it was Damian¡¯s office, Jack used his fingerprint to open the door and then we  went in,


    ¡°Please sit and make yourselffortable, I need to inform the boss that you are around¡± with which he excused himself and left.


    I sat down patiently for Damian but it seems like I have been sitting for ages. I was beginning to get bored so I decided to go through some of the magazines on his desk. Maybe it will help me pass out time for the moment. I was standing at his desk and engrossed in the vogue magazine that I was reading, I didn¡¯t notice when he came into the office.


    ¡°What are you doing?¡± his voice startled me and I mistakenly dropped the magazine on the floor. If looks can kill, I did be a dead woman from the way, he was ring.


    ¡± You weren¡¯t taught how to behave around people¡¯s stuff¡± his voice was cruel and hostile. I quickly apologized and he scoffed.


    He went to sit down and gestured for me toe closer while loosening the tie on his neck, and unbuttoning his shirt down to his chest revealing the ck shiny curly hairs there. I won¡¯t be lying if I say that God took special time in molding Damian. I remember how it felt touching those soft curls and how it turned him on, the memories of that erotic night came flooding and I tried to snap out of my thoughts. I looked at his face and noticed that he was smirking and observing my expression.


    ¡± Huh¡± you were saying something I tried to hide my difort


    ¡°He grinned and said I can see you can¡¯t seem to control your thoughts when you are around me, you were staring so badly at the same time drooling at the glimpse of my chest, and you¡¯re already feeling hot. What will happen if I decide to take off my shirt, guess you will kneel and beg for my touch.¡± He smirks, ¡±


    I was dumbfounded. I- I¡¯m truly drooling. I quickly wiped my hand on my mouth and looked at it and truly something was there. I raised my head and looked at him. There was a slight hint of a smirk on his lips when our eyes met but his eyes were still cold and indifferent.


    ¡°How do you intend to work as my assistant? First things first you have to learn how to keep your thoughts away from wild imagination


    You have to bear in mind that when ites to work-rted issues you are my assistant, you are only my wife at home.


    You have to make my coffee yourself, and should always be in thepany waiting before I arrive.


    You must always address me as your boss, no form of pet name is allowed.


    You¡¯re not expected to leave the office without my orders


    Removing my ties is your duty, I shouldn¡¯t remind you about it.¡±


    I nodded and waited for him to finish with the outrageous rules, instead he picked up a file and started going through it. I stood there looking at him but it seems he purposely ignored me or maybe waiting for me to ask a question.


    Dami I stuttered, immediately those words left my lips, he looked at me coldly, and I quickly apologized and reframed my questions.


    Please Sir, where am I expected to stay during working hours? He spoke without looking at me. ¡°There is a table and chair outside my door, that¡¯s your position¡±. I stared at him in shock and muttered but it¡¯s just an open space.


    He looked up meeting my expression, and he asked if I have a problem with abiding by the rules, I shook my head, and he nodded and asked me to go make his coffee. I am hoping agreeing to this is not going to make things difficult for me.


    I gave him a quick nod and left to make his coffee. Outside his office, there is an adjoining room that happens to be a mini kitchen. Inside it was neatly arranged, and an espresso coffee machine was on top of the cab. I took out a gold-ted mug and saucer and made him a strong ck coffee, but I was skeptical about adding sugar to it. When I¡¯m done I took it to his office and he took a sip and then spat it out.


    ¡± I don¡¯t drink bitter coffee, you didn¡¯t add sugar. Should I teach you everything, what exactly are you good at he spoke angrily¡±


    I  apologize and he demanded I should make a fresh coffee I nodded and was about to leave before he shouted


    ¡± Aren¡¯t you forgetting something¡±


    I turned and he pointed at the cup of coffee I made earlier, I went to carry it and left. The sound of hisughter echoed loudly and I know he was intentionally doing all this but I am going to prove him wrong. I am going to convince him for the sake of Sophia.

 Chapter fourteen- Lovesick puppy

    Marcus¡¯s POV


    I poured water on my face repeatedly, as I stared at my reflection in my bathroom mirror, I signed audibly. My handsome face was not all that handsome anymore. I was beginning to have circles under my eyes from all the stress I was under, stress from work, sleepless nights from thinking about Myra all those lonely nights. I stared at my reflection for a while and shook my head and left the bathroom, wearing a robe.


    I was supposed to feel joy in my heart but an overwhelming feeling of dread overshadowed me. I was excited to finally find Myra, but I couldn¡¯t say the same about Myra knowing she rejected me back in school and she¡¯s married now, not just a wife but also a mother.


    ¡°Is there a possibility that something will work out between us¡±


    ¡°Will she ever ept me¡±


    ¡± Maybe history is going to repeat itself¡± But it doesn¡¯t change a thing as I am willing to bask in the euphoria of my imagination and bear this unrequited love for the rest of my life.


    ¡°Reminiscing back to a few years ago, she was the most beautiful and intelligent in school and was always cheerful and happy though it was obvious she was impoverished but it didn¡¯t dim her confidence. I fell in love with her on the first day we identally bumped into each other in the library, even though I finally had the confidence to ask her out on a date in front of the whole school but she rejected me without thinking twice. Though it¡¯s been a while still I found it difficult to love another.


    Many times I wanted to brush her thoughts aside and move on but I couldn¡¯t, I was in love with her, she is my first love and I cared for her. I couldn¡¯t just ignore her, it wasn¡¯t that easy. I wondered if she still smiled like before because she has one of the most beautiful smiles in the world.


    Reconnecting with an old school friend and getting Myra¡¯s number have been one of my happiest days. I remember calling her phone but didn¡¯t find the courage to introduce myself.


    I quickly asked if she was Damian¡¯s wife and she responded her voice hasn¡¯t altered, still soothing and melodious and I can¡¯t seem to shake it out of my head. It¡¯s more like a scene that keeps reying in my head. I ruffled my hair with my fingers and grabbed a towel and wiped my face, then a thought crossed my mind and a small smirk yed out on my lips.


    Twenty-eight years old Marcus Lawson was the vice president of his family¡¯s multi-billionairepany. Lawson corporation was a multi-billionaire dorpany that dabbled in everything from canning food products to fancy restaurants and small cafes and others. Lawson corporation was rated among the influential businesses while Marcus was listed among the top 30 CEOS on Forbes. I¡¯m the perfectbination of good looks and wealth. Though at twenty-eight I am still fucking single and have never seemed to find any woman attractive enough to call MINE except for Myra the love of my life and she¡¯s legally taken. The buzzing of my phone snapped me back to reality and I checked the caller it was mum, knowing why she was calling I sighed and rubbed my forehead in frustration before answering the phone


    ¡°Hello Son don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re beginning to get bored of my calls¡±


    ¡°Mum, I¡¯m not just that I have told you countless times that I don¡¯t need you to set me up on a blind date. I¡¯m perfectly capable of finding a woman that I want to settle down with on my own.¡±


    ¡°I know that honey, but I¡¯m tired of seeing you alone. Plus I would like to have grandchildren before I die¡± She said dramatically, causing me to roll my eyes.


    ¡± I know mum, but I simply don¡¯t have the time. I sighed. How do I tell her that the only woman I loved and is worthy of being her daughter-inw is already in the hands of another? And I can¡¯t seem to shake her out of my mind no matter how much I try¡±


    ¡°Please, Marcus? Just one more date and I promise I will butt out of your love life¡±  She begged


    ¡°You¡¯re not supposed to be involved in my love life in the first ce,¡± I grumbled, before groaning.


    ¡°Fine. What¡¯s her name, age, and where is she from? I asked


    My mum squealed in my ear in excitement, I couldn¡¯t suppress the tiny smile that made its way onto my face.


    I love her dearly, and I would do anything to see her happy


    ¡± Her name is She Harrington, and she¡¯s 25 years old. She¡¯s the daughter of the owner of the country club¡± she said excitedly and I grimaced.


    ¡± Fine. Set it up, mum. But this is thest time. No more meddling.¡± I warned


    ¡°Yes Yes,¡± she said dismissively and I sighed


    I knew she wasn¡¯t going to listen to me, anyway, the date is already dead before it started I grinned


    Reminiscing back to how I have dumped some blind dates that she has arranged in the past with the excuse of they are not up to my standard, and this one won¡¯t be different.


    ¡°How¡¯s dad?¡± I asked


    He¡¯s getting better, I¡¯m tired of telling him to take his meds and also that he needs to rest¡± She fussed, and I chuckled


    ¡± Hang in there mum. You know retiring wasn¡¯t easy for him and coupled with this change in his health¡±


    ¡°Yes, yes, I know.¡± She sighed


    ¡°Okay well, I have to go now. Send me the details of the date, when you¡¯re done.¡± I said


    ¡± I will, and I better see you for dinner on Sunday. Don¡¯t think I forgot that you skippedst week¡°. I cringed, knowing that I would be in for it when her excitement wore off.


    ¡± Yes, mum, I¡¯lle by on Sunday. I¡¯ll talk to youter¡±.


    She said her final goodbyes and I hung up


    Jeez, that woman is a handful


    I took over the Lawsonpany after my dad Alfred Lawson became bedridden and was diagnosed with a brain tumor, as his first and only son I have to take over thepany.


    It has not been easy having a social life because I am always upied with work and thedies I spend intimate moments with. I always try to define whatever we¡¯re having as a fling and nothing more. And always make sure to pay them well for a service well rendered but they always want more like a rtionship. I shook my head and walked towards myrge wine cer and poured myself a champagne. I swirl the wine in my ss and sip slowly, savoring the wine, and then slowly walk around the house. An idea came into my mind and I immediately gulped down my drink and ced a call to my secretary asking her to set up a meeting between Lawsonpany and Grahampany requesting a meeting as a member of their shareholder. She agreed and I disconnected the call and chuckled loudly.


    I already hired a secret agent to spy on Myra, that way I get to know her daily routine, and where she works, more like every freakin stuff about her and finding out she works as an assistant for her husband got me angry, why such a lowly position, she¡¯s worth more than that as the best graduating student, I know she¡¯s is super talented in business management, though I wasn¡¯t pleased with the news. It¡¯s an added advantage to me, I can easily set up a camouge meeting while my real intention is to go there and steal nces at her. Call me crazy but the thought of her upies an incredible percentage of my heart. Myra Graham was the very breath I took.


    The ringing of the doorbell made me rush to the door since I¡¯m in the lounge close to the entrance. I unlocked the door and was greeted by a grin from the slender-looking man standing on the patio.


    ¡± Hey buddy¡± Frank Lawson raised his hand in a bid to give his cousin a high five


    ¡°Come in¡± I shook his hands and stepped aside for him to walk in


    ¡°How are you¡± Frank inquired


    ¡°Do I look okay to you ¡± I furrowed my eyebrows


    ¡± Simple courtesy cousin you should serve a guest before choking him or her with your troubles,¡± Frank said


    ¡°Ouch sorry gee I forgot and besides you¡¯re not a guest so stop acting like one, it¡¯s better you move to the wine cer and grab your fav, if you want to quench that taste¡± I answered him


    He throws his hands in the air and walked toward the cer and grabs a bottle of Dom Perignon and unscrews the wine and poured out some for himself and asked whether he should pour some for me and I gently declined the offer, showing him the empty bottle of champagne, I took not quite long. He sips his wine and looked at me and inquired


    ¡°Looks like you have been set up on another date that¡¯s the only time, you always look like a piece of shit with the gloomy look but it¡¯s not a bad idea you know, you get to spend time with a lot of beautiful damsels¡± Frankughed as he sat on thefy leather couch and crossed his legs


    ¡°Is that how you see it?¡± I asked


    ¡± Yep, not bad buddy, you should try dating and stop this night fling who knows you might meet someone better¡± He winks


    ¡± Don¡¯t give me that look¡± I pointed at him


    A deep and sonorousugh spreads through the room and his voice rumbles in his chest


    ¡°The truth is that you look like a lovesick puppy¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s with you, man it¡¯s high time you stop loving her for Godsake she¡¯s in the hands of another man¡±


    ¡± You know how manydies that are tripping for you man¡±


    ¡± You are damn handsome and you know the way, women hurl themselves at you, why then are you stopping yourself from exploring¡±


    ¡± Thest time I checked she was married to the most influential dude and first leadingpany and also second on the Forbes list, not just that, who doesn¡¯t know that Damian Graham is a monstrous devil that deals ruthlessly with anybody that trespasses his boundary¡±


    ¡± Think man, don¡¯t risk your life or put thepany in jeopardy because of whatever childish feelings that are stuck in your head¡±  Frank spoke without holding back


    My face contorted in rage and my nose red up as I stared at Frank. I couldn¡¯t believe he said all that shit, does he know what his words just did to my heart, it felt as if my heart had been ripped off.


    He looked at me frightened and quickly apologized


    ¡± Sorry, buddy I said all that just that I want to see you happy and also she rejected you before right, what makes you think she won¡¯t do it again this time around, I understand she¡¯s your first love but you can always create a space for another in your heart.¡± with that he jokingly hit my arm saying


    ¡°Rx okay!!¡±


    You don¡¯t understand Frank, it¡¯s difficult for me to admire another, the thoughts of her keep me awake all through the night, and her voice keeps ringing in my ears. Her beautiful smile keeps me going. She might be married but in my heart she is single. Even if she rejects me for the second time, I will still be d knowing I fell in love with a rare diamond.


    ¡± She¡¯s the sun that shines on my toughest days¡±


    ¡± She¡¯s the moon that shines on my darkest and lonely nights¡±


    ¡°I can never love another and will never leave her¡± It¡¯s her or nobody else¡±Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org.


    ¡°Soon Myra ¡±


    ¡± Soon I will be seeing your beautiful face again,¡± I mumbled.¡±

 Chapter fifteen- Degree in staring

    Myra¡¯s POV


    I woke up and squinted my eyes as the heavy rays of sunlight streamed through the open windows. I stretched forward, closed the curtains, and plopped back on the bed. I was tired from all the stress from work yesterday. I reached for my phone and peered at it. It was past 7 in the morning and I had missed calls from Damian.


    Howe I didn¡¯t hear it ring, holding my forehead and yawning loudly. I remember putting it on silent so my sleep won¡¯t be disturbed.


    I finally got out of bed and walked up to the mirror, I noticed I had some breakouts on my face, which means my menstrual period will be out soon. I raked my hand through my tangled long brte hair, then took out my toothbrush and brushed my teeth, and proceeded to shower. I applied shampoo to detangle my hair and rinsed it off. After having a clean bath, I stepped out of the bathroom and applied my body lotion and scented oils then proceeded to the closet and picked up a beige-colored in dress with short sleeves that stopped just above my knees. It was a hot morning so I didn¡¯t bother with a coat. I slipped into ck heels and styled my hair in a sleek ponytail and slightly touched up my face with little makeup and applied a shimmery nude gloss to my lips. I went to the mirror to look at my reflection, feeling satisfied with my look I picked up my ck clutch bag and left. I stopped by Aria¡¯s room to check on her and also inquired from her nanny if they will be needing anything after sorting them out. I left the house and drove to the office.


    I walked into Graham¡¯s Company at exactly 8. 00 am on the dot, I was confident and ready to face my job and also determined to convince Damian. I got to thest floor and decided to go make his coffee first since his office door was slightly open. I figured out he was around.


    I hurriedly dropped my bag on the desk and ran inside the mini kitchen to prepare his coffee.


    After making his coffee, I knocked on his door and waited for his approval before entering


    ¡°Are you going to stand there all day¡± he yelled from inside


    Silly me I have already forgotten there is a CCTV in his office so he sees everything that is happening in and around the building.


    I came in with his coffee in my hand, ¡± Good morning Dami, your coffee please¡±


    ¡± Don¡¯t call me that, Call me Boss¡± He looked at me and scoffed


    ¡°Good morning Boss, here is your coffee¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s cold, make another,¡± He said without looking at the mug or touching it.


    ¡°But I just made the coffee and it¡¯s still hot, you can have a sip before you conclude,¡± I said in a soothing voice


    ¡± Do you have a problem with getting another cup of coffee?¡± Damian said in his icy voice. His voice was filled with so much authority


    I shook my head but noticed he won¡¯t be able to see because he is busy working on hisptop, I quickly answered him when he tapped on the desk indicating he was waiting for my reply


    ¡± No Boss¡±


    He looked up and stared at me intently before saying ¡°You don¡¯t dare question my orders, when next you try it, I won¡¯t hesitate to throw you out¡± His aura was so calm yet deadly.


    ¡± Sorry Boss, I raced off immediately to get another coffee ready,


    ¡± Your coffee boss¡±


    ¡± Too light, make another¡±


    I went off to make yet another coffee


    ¡°No sugar, don¡¯t add sugar to this one, it¡¯ll be cold already, just make another one.¡±


    I stood there looking at him with anger visibly shown on my face, why is he intentionally stressing me


    ¡°Why are you not leaving, are you tried already¡± he sneered


    I slowly walked out of his office with tears streaming down my face. At this point I was burning with annoyance, the confidence I walked into the building with this morning had been drained down the plunge.


    ¡°Your coffee Boss,¡± I said one final time and was relieved when he said I could go


    ¡°Pheww¡±


    I sat in my space, trying to concentrate on the work I had to do, and finally deciding that I couldn¡¯t concentrate, I decided to distract myself and make a cup of coffee for myself. I got up and went into the mini kitchen and made a brewed coffee for myself and headed back to my space only to realize I had missed a call from Damian. Should I return the call or just head to his office?


    I knocked twice and opened the door, and met Damian on call, he looked and motioned with his hands for me to hold on, I stood there staring at him like a fool, admiring him. Damian was d in a ck Armani suit, with an expensive golden wristwatch that was worth millions of dors on his wrist. He was looking as handsome as ever. I didn¡¯t even notice when he dropped the call.


    ¡± You have a degree in staring you know right¡± he taunted


    ¡°Sorry I got carried away¡± I apologized and he looked at me and grinned.


    ¡± I have a meeting with Lawsonpany in the next 30 minutes, you have to apany me to the meeting, I¡¯d need you to take the necessary information regarding what we conclude on in the meeting, understood?¡±


    ¡± Yes Boss¡±


    ¡± Good, clear your desk, get your materials, and we leave in 20 minutes¡±


    ¡°Alright Boss¡±


    I headed back to my space and arranged my desk, picked up all I needed, rearranged my looks, and went to stand by the door to his office so I would leave together with him.


    Immediately I got to his door, he opened the door and asked us to move.


    It wasn¡¯t even 20 minutes yet


    We got into the elevator and he punched in, the floor we were headed towards


    Suddenly he turned towards me and I stepped by and my back hit the elevator wall. He moved so close that I thought he was going to kiss me, but he didn¡¯t


    Instead, he touched my gown and said


    ¡± You look beautiful, the color suits you perfectly.¡±


    I was baffled by hispliment, he has neverplimented my looks before what happened, this is where I get to tap myself to be sure I¡¯m not dreaming.


    Was it because the gown is tight and short which is making all my curves to be on disy?


    We finally arrived at the middle floor and proceeded to the conference hall for the meeting. We settled in and waited for the arrival of the clients.


    A young gentleman and a petitedy arrived. She looked like the secretary from the way she was holding flies and other essentials just like me and the young man with her was on call and had his back to us. From his back view, you can tell that his body¡¯s physique is nicely adorned.


    He turned and I was shocked to find out that Lawson¡¯s  Company belonged to Marcus, the wealthy and the most handsome dude back then in college.¡± What a small world ¡±


    He was still very handsome and his skin is slightly tan and he has a beautifulbination of facial features. He has a ck trimmed curly ck. He looked like one of those Greek gods.


    Immediately his stormy gray eyesnded on me, he sprinted and hugged me tightly while smiling and rubbing my back. I was surprised by his actions but it has been a while, so a friendly hug isn¡¯t that bad. He released me and gently cupped my cheeks with his hands while gazing into my eyes


    ¡°Where have you been Myra,¡± he asked


    ¡°Uhh. Umm¡­ I stuttered


    He smiled and ced his index finger down on my lips and said ¡± You seem tense, don¡¯t worry we will talk about it some other time. He touched my hair and said you¡¯re still looking extremely beautiful, or I should say you got more pretty.


    I thanked him and smiled shyly and blushed a little. He cupped my chin again and said ¡± Myra, your smile hasn¡¯t changed, you still have the most beautiful smile, and this beige color suits your skin perfectly. And your eyes I love the almond shape of your eyes, the way your eyes turn up is so alluring and incredibly beautiful. Marcus hasn¡¯t changed a bit and he is still too ttery with words.


    Iughed so hard that I forgot myself and leaned into his body while hitting my hands on his chest. He also held me tight while weughed together forgetting we came for an important meeting.


    Unexpectedly Damian yanked my hand off Marcus and pushed me to his side and grasped my hand firmly,


    ¡± Are you here for the meeting, or have you nned to have a lil meet and greet with my wife?¡± he growled and tightened his grip.Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org.


    I opened my mouth and tried to exin that Marcus is my college mate instead he pinched my chin and said


    ¡± Why are you meddling, the question is not for you so just shut the fuck up¡±


    ¡°And you don¡¯t need to speak till you are asked to. Do you understand me, woman?¡± He stared at me in disgust and released me.


    I can still feel how tight his grip was on my hand. I¡¯m hurt by what he did but I can not do anything because I love him dearly, I stepped back from him while trying to hold the tears from streaming down my eyes. I veered around and met Marcus staring at me as if he was in pain and his eyes had this tenderness in them.


    Is Marcus Lawson still in love with me? Why is he looking at me as if he¡¯s in pain?


    Why is he looking at Damian as if he¡¯s going to devour him any moment?


    I noticed that Damian and Marcus were standing and giving each other a deadly re and it was so obvious that they were trying their best not to start up a brawl. I stood in between them and apologized so they could let go of their differences and proceed with the meeting. Damian¡¯s eyes held the deadliest looks but were still the most beautiful pair of eyes in the world. Almost lost in his eyes, I bowed my head and swallowed hard waiting for him to respond instead he continued staring at Marcus.


    ¡°Sighs¡± Marcus stretched out his hand for a friendly handshake but Damian ignored him and went to sit down while staring at me. I bent down my head so that I could not see Damian¡¯s face that was already burning with anger.


    Then Marcus went to sit down with his secretary seated beside him, I was still standing when Damian said coldly


    ¡± Why are you standing there like a statue, are you not joining the meeting¡±


    I quickly went to sit beside him and took out my material. I don¡¯t want him yelling at me again and making me look stupid.


    ¡± Let¡¯s go straight to business,¡± Damian said and Marcus grinned, then opened his briefcase and brought out some papers, and gave them to Damian. These are thend design documents for the new project Marcus said, smiling at Damian as he scrutinized the papers.


    ¡°Are you sure these are theplete papers?¡±Damian asked as he dropped the papers on the table and Marcus nodded


    The meeting started and they discussed the new project that the twopanies want to emerge together and produce thergest refinery in the country. While they were discussing, I made sure to note down the vital information.


    ¡± What do you think about the designs?¡±  ¡°What is your opinion?¡± Marcus asked cutting short Damian


    Damian picked up the papers on the table and studied the designs intently for a while and then made some corrections while wiping his finger across different parts of the graphic. I looked up and noticed that Marcus was staring at me and his eyes held some kind of emotions and a hint of a smile on his lips.


    I can¡¯t forget that stare, it¡¯s the same way he has always looked at me back then in college.

 Chapter sixteen- Cheap whore

    Damian¡¯s POV


    I woke up grumpy, not knowing whether it was from the sun shining brightly into my room disturbing my sleep or it was about what happened yesterday. I got up from the bed and closed the ts on the blinds draping over the windows, giving some shade to my room away from the sun. Then went back to bed, and the memories of yesterday came shing.


    It¡¯s so obvious that Marcus Lawson has a thing for my wife Myra, the way he hugged and spun her around immediately after he set his eyes on her. The way he smiled at her and was tucking in her hair and being excessively caring to her, I wouldn¡¯t be surprised if I find out that his purpose of merging with mypany will be for the sake of Myra.


    And the way he was hugging and rubbing her back casually and they were acting oblivious of my presence, I was fuming with rage.This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.


    Marcus kept touching her and even slid his finger to her lips like he was daring me. It was cringe observing them.


    My naive wife was so free with another man before my eyes, and she was even smiling willingly and also allowed him to hold her tightly to his chest.


    And that silly wife of mine was also giving him a feather-lit punch on the chest while leaning into his body. Something she has not done with me.


    What nonsense??


    Such a shameless woman, was she so desperate for a man¡¯s touch. If not that I¡¯m the one that took her virginity, I would have called her a cheap whore.


    I felt a sudden irritation watching them, so I dragged Myra out of his hands. I won¡¯t say I¡¯m jealous but she¡¯s my property and she belongs to me alone, and I will treat her in whatever way that pleases me, no man has the right to touch her till I¡¯m done with her. If not for my mum, I wouldn¡¯t have been entangled with a low ss like her.  Though she is my wife on the papers but not in my heart or public, she means nothing to me.


    Why didn¡¯t she smile and blush when Iplimented her dress instead she was busy gawking at me like a lost sheep but when that assholeplimented her she was blushing and going all gaga over his mouth-wateringments. I also noticed the way her eyes lit up with nonsensical admiration while she was staring at him.


    Why am I feeling this way, I couldn¡¯t stand another manplimenting my wife.


    I noticed the manner he was ring at me when I scolded Myra, his veins were so visible as if he wanted war. I looked at him with rage totally visible on my face, how dare he re at me, does he know what I¡¯m capable of doing to him? I guess he has a death wish. I wanted to throw a punch to distort his ugly face but that silly wife of mine came interfering again, she was pleading with her eyes though she dared not to speak.


    Why is she defending him??


    Then that Marcus dares to offer me a handshake what was he thinking that I¡¯m going to sumb to that,


    The nerve of him!


    No!!! Damian Graham is not a preacher of peace and will never be.


    I did not return the handshake but rather stared coldly at him


    Regardless he knows the person he is up to and he can never dare challenge me. He knows once he double-crosses my path, I will make him pay dearly with his life.


    And still, I don¡¯t understand why he looked like he was in pain when Myra started crying. Is there something I¡¯m missing?


    Something is definitely off about Marcus Lawson. Throughout the meeting, he kept staring at Myra and wasn¡¯t even paying enough attention to the new project that will cost millions of buck. He was just chipping in one or two words then he goes back to the main reason why he came, that¡¯s to gape at Myra.


    Could he possibly be in love with Myra???


    It¡¯s so obvious that he has deep feelings for her even a blind man could feel it. But I will never allow him to get close to her, not on my watch.


    I would have thrown him out of mypany or better still rejected that business bid. But I hate losing any form of investment, no matter how small it counts, not to talk of a good solid one. Till this project ispleted then I will unleash the demon in me, and make him lick the dirt below my shoes.


    I ced my hand on my forehead and I was rubbing it in a bid to clear out what was stuck in my head. Just then an idea clicked and I picked up my phone to call my private detectives to find out more about their rtionship.


    Myra is mine! Mine alone! Till I¡¯m done with her no other man can have her, I muttered under my breath.


    Marcus¡¯s POV


    I was restless after yesterday¡¯s meeting with Damian Graham


    ¡°Damn¡± that dude is a monster, how on earth did Myra end up with someone like him. She deserved better not where she was treated like trash, like a nonentity.


    Seeing her yesterday was one of my greatest achievements. It felt like I was in a fairnd. She was still the same Myra, still very beautiful, and her smiles hadn¡¯t altered, still captivating.


    And the way her eyes illuminate when she¡¯s happy it¡¯s a beautiful sight to behold. The way that peach dress clung to her body revealed her curves more like her hourss shape, even after pregnancy, she still has the body of a supermodel.


    I didn¡¯t know when I picked her fragile body up and swirled her around, happiness is an understatementpared to what I felt during that moment. It felt like I¡¯m home and there was this wave of emotions that overtook me.


    Then when I inquired about her whereabouts, she wasn¡¯t bold enough to answer. It¡¯s unlike her, what happened to my valiant Myra, why is she acting timid? I looked at her worried, concern etched on my face. I veered around and met Damian fuming with rage and staring at me intently like a lion waiting to destroy its prey.


    ¡°Ohhh¡±  I understand perfectly what¡¯s happening, she is scared of her husband, in other words, she is not truly happy in that marriage. I was not sure why relief flooded through me when I realize she was in a loveless marriage at least it will make things easier, I smiled and did not give a fuck about him, I cupped Myra¡¯s cheek gently and stared into her dreamy eyes then ced my index finger at her lips telling her to stop talking since she was notfortable and still not breaking the eyes connection. I looked at her eyes and eyshes when she was looking at me and I observed how her pupils dted and how her eyshes touch her face when she closes her eyes and it seems almost magical to me.


    I noticed what I was doing was getting on Damian¡¯s nerves from the way his fists were clenched and grinding his teeth but I wasn¡¯t frightened, I kept on showering her withpliments she deserves them and much more. I was surprised when she loosed up and spoke without stuttering for a moment it seems as if she forgot about his presence and actuallyughed wholeheartedly and even embraced me while throwing soft punches to the ce where she belongs ¡°My heart¡±


    Her hug feels so warm and cozy, like climbing into a warm bed on a cold night. To say that I was enjoying this moment was an understatement, I was truly relishing it.


    ¡°This is the part where you get to pinch yourself to be sure you aren¡¯t daydreaming,


    it¡¯s real¡±


    ¡± So real¡±


    I held her tightly to my body and caressed her soft and silky hair, she felt morefortable and at peace. For a moment it felt like the entire world stopped and everything started to fade away and the universe around us seemed to explode with happiness, and it was just the two of us in an enchanted bubble. It was so calm as if nothing in the world could pierce that protective bubble and it felt as if we were floating. It feels so magical.  Suddenly Myra was pulled out of my hand and I opened my eyes to see Damian scowling, his rage rolling off him like dark clouds, he held her hands tightly and his nails were digging into her skin and I caught a glimpse of blood dripping yet he didn¡¯t give a damn about Myra being in pain. It felt as if my world was ripping apart watching her in pain.


    The way he was rudely speaking to her had no atom of respect or care like she was a property that has been paid for.


    ¡°Why did she ever cross paths with this monster that has no respect for a woman and also his wife and the mother of his child¡±


    He looked at me and smirked, then pushed Myra out of his side. I knew he wanted to see my reaction but instead, I stared at Myra and noticed she was making an effort to stop the tears from flowing, and her eyes had turned bright red. Knowing she was hurting and my heart breaking into a million pieces, it felt like what has been done to her, it has been done to me too.


    I felt it in every bone and in every muscle I have.


    And I knew I¡¯ll do everything possible to make that pain go away and note back. I¡¯ll even try everything impossible again and again and again and never give up trying just to make sure she¡¯s safe, peaceful, and happy.


    All I know is that Damian loathes her and doesn¡¯t want her. Maybe he is keeping her for a purpose, don¡¯t know why but I am determined to find out.


    Is he blind to see how beautiful, caring, and loving Myra is, just because he chooses to hate her and let his rage take the best part of him to disgrace her in the presence of strangers?  I wonder what he does to her behind a closed door


    I don¡¯t get that mean monster, can¡¯t he see that Myra is a total package that every man wants but he chooses not to see?


    He doesn¡¯t deserve her, she is too precious to waste her life with that mean devil. I¡¯m sure he will regret it when Myra finds someone that can treasure her and she¡¯ll choose to leave his dumbass forever.


    I wish she will notice and look my way and also for her to understand that I will give her everything and will never hurt and will treat her like the queen she is and the total opposite of Damian. Because all he does is hurt her day by day.


    It¡¯s so rare to find a woman just like Myra and to me, she is like a blessinging from above that I will never want to lose. I know one of these days he¡¯ll regret the way he treated her, and if I am so lucky the universe will bring her my way.


    Seeing her made me realize I was and still am madly in love with Myra and I love her with every cell of my body and it still feels like back then in college. I sat opposite her and couldn¡¯t focus on the meeting, all my attention was on her. I kept gazing at and admiring her.  She¡¯s truly a beauty to behold and a true description of the goddess of love and beauty.


    If I can¡¯t be with her then no other person will be able to fill that deep hole in my heart.

 Chapter seventeen- Lustystrip club

    Damien¡¯s POV


    I walked into the Lusty strip club and stood a few walks from the door with my protective agents, and my eyes were scanning around the bar. I was dressed in a ck and white zed color shirt with the sleeves rolled to the elbows and ck denim pants and an expensive wristwatch on my left wrist, whichplimented my rich look. I looked quite gorgeous as I stood by the doorpost, scanning the entire room with my eyes. I loved to stop at Lusty Strip Club asionally because it helps me unfold and rx when needed. In an actual sense, there was nothing rxing about the club. It was too loud for anyone to clear their heads, let alone ponder. I alwayse here when I need to escape from my troubles by saturating myself in the noise of other people¡¯s happiness.


    The lusty strip club was the biggest in town, it has a clubhouse and a strippers stage in it. It was busy as ever, with colored fluorescent lights illuminating the inside, making it a bit difficult to see the faces of people inside. Slow sensual music sted through the speakers as the strippers proceeded with putting men through sexual misery.


    ¡°Care for a drink, handsome?¡± one of the waitresses asked, interrupting my thoughts.


    I red at her and she fled.


    Just then Jim ck the owner of the club came running with a huge smile visible on his face


    ¡± This way to the VIP section Boss¡± He weed me and tried to lead me to my regr section. I was a regr VIP customer at the bar, and every time I came around, I usually waited for Jack to lead me upstairs.


    Hold on, I¡¯ll grab a quick drink at the bar and I walk over to the bar still scanning the club.


    Soft gasps escaped the lips of people who were in the club. While some women were winking and rolling their tongues seductively, some were unting their boobs and ass more like they were trying to get my attention and men watched me with both admiration and jealousy visibly shown on their faces.


    Seeing that made me smile inwardly and I got to the bar.


    ¡°A shot of Ley tequ diamante¡± I requested and settled down on the high bar stool counter. I let my eyes wander around the club, it was extremely full, and some people were dancing drastically, guess it was from the effect of the alcohol, some came to grab drinks, and others to meet up with the stripers.


    ¡°Here¡± the barman ced the shot in front of me and shed me a smile. I picked up the shot and drank it all in one gulp, letting the drink burn down my dry throat.


    ¡± This is an absolute way to start the journey of forgetting about my wife and that jerk cheesiness¡±


    I walked back to them and we maneuvered through the sea of bodies and finally arrived at the VIP section, only the finest drinks were served by the finest waitresses. I plunked down on the protracted ck sofa and stared at Jim.


    ¡± You kept me waiting, and I thought you would never show up¡± I questioned him


    ¡± I am so sorry Boss, it is an honor to be in your presence after so long and you didn¡¯t inform me of your arrival ¡± he replied while trying to hide his trembling hands and


    ¡°I sighed dramatically and patted his shoulder, I¡¯m not here to scare you ¡± I need someone I can drink with at the moment¡± Can you be that person for me¡± I stated


    ¡± Yes Boss I¡¯m always at your beck and call he replied


    And I motioned for him to sit and rx then signaled to my security guards to secure outside the VIP entrance, it was going to be a long night of levity.


    Just then twodies walked in, dressed in only matching redcy bras and thongs, each carrying a bottle of champagne and a wine reflector. They ced the tray in front of each of them and my jaw dropped when one of thedies leaned toward me, her exposed cleavage in front of my face


    ¡± What a beautiful view ¡± I chuckled and stared deeply into her eyes, and smirked.


    ¡± Would you be needing anything else?¡± She asked seductively.


    ¡± Not at the moment,¡± I answered and stared deeply into her eyes. She stood erect, and they both sashayed out of the VIP section. My eyes followed her until she was out of sight.


    ¡± You know you could always pick one of them,¡± Jim said, noticing my prolonged stare towards the girls. I contemted leaving him on the seat and going over to meet the beautifuldies but thought against it.


    ¡± No, I¡¯m fine,¡± I answered him


    ¡°Are you sure about that?? If you will be needing somepanions tonight, I can arrange that if you want,¡± Jim stated and poured himself a ss of champagne. I didn¡¯t bother with a reply, and we both sipped our champagne for a while, without saying a word to each other.


    I broke the stillness  ¡± I think I am in the mood for some tequ,¡± I dered unexpectedly


    Jim¡¯s hands stopped midway. ¡± What about a sexy brte to relieve that stress off you Boss,¡± he asked in a profound tone


    I shot him a yful re. And he grinned ¡± I can always get the finest of them to please you, Boss, you know the women here are perfect¡± he stated with a smallugh that revealed his cheek dimples


    I peered at the contents of my ss and asked  ¡± Do you want to have the tequ or not?¡±


    Jim got to his feet almost immediately


    ¡± Of course I do,¡± he dered and began walking toward the door. Jim suddenly turned with a grin on his face and said ¡± At this point, I cannot tell if it is the tequ you want or the girl with the ample bosom.


    I  shrugged and shook my head ¡± Can¡¯t a man have the best of both worlds?¡± I said


    He chuckled and walked to the entry  ¡± Your finest tequ¡±


    And he walked back to his seat and sat down saying, ¡± Hopefully this will relieve your stress.¡±


    Just then thedies returned with the tequ and served them, they hung around but I waved them off. Jim looks surprised when I  waved off the waitress, he kept turning to the girls and then back to me when he couldn¡¯t hold it any longer he blurted out


    ¡± Do you have anyone, in particr, you want for the night Boss?¡± I can always arrange a sulent and juicy one for you.


    I shot him a look and said let¡¯s do a shot together, raising a shot ss, we clicked sses


    ¡± Cheers¡±


    And we both downed the contents of the ss.Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.


    I kept scanning the club, mostly at the entrance, hoping that the blonde-haired striper with weird green eyes would show up tonight. Why didn¡¯t I ask for her name after that night of pleasure? Is she not a regr here?


    The memories of the way she knelt on her knees and her head thrown back, an ecstatic expression on her face as she closed her mouth around my huge and veiny length and sucked my dick, swallowing and licking me hard while I thrust hard into her mouth making her throat gag.


    ¡°GOSH,¡± I need someone to fuck hard and fast, someone to fuck and quench this feeling of irritation, someone I can furiously fuck her brains out, someone that can withstand my strength, and that bitch fits every damn description. She has proved herself to be a tigress in bed. I fuck without attaching feelings, I don¡¯t do lovemaking, to me it¡¯s just in sex, somewhere to plug my shaft and smash. My dick had strained so hard in my pants that I had to immediately fold my legs not to allow it to be noticed, see how it stood in attention begging to be set free.


    Just maybe she will soon be here, a Lil patience man, I reassured myself.


    Noticing my difort from the way my eyes kept ncing at the entrance Jim asked whether I was expecting someone.


    I grinned and nodded my head and started giving him the description of her, concentrating mainly on the weird-colored eyes, Jim smiled and said


    ¡± Your description matches that of Meghan one of the regr strippers in the club, I can call for her if that¡¯s what you want  Boss¡±


    Uhm¡­ Sure you can invite her over


    Immediately he took out his phone and dialed a number then he spoke in three words


    ¡± Send Meghan in¡±  I was impressed by the way he handles his business and the women smoothly.


    ¡°Ohhh!!!¡± the weird eyes bitch¡¯s name is Meghan. ¡± Interesting¡±


    Not too long the blonde-haired bitch arrived wearing a red transparent v-neck crop top and ck ripped bum shorts that disyed her body and her hair was twirled around the tips.


    ¡°Wait a minute ¡± She was not wearing a bra, which made her big nipples on disy. She sure knows how to draw attention to herself. The way men were drooling around her and it was so obvious that she was enjoying the attention.


    What a she-devil¡­.


    I watched her intently not bothering to even blink as she sauntered to the VIP section beaming with smiles, immediately she entered our eyes met, and she held my gaze, her eyes were caressing my dick, and there is something about the way she is staring at me like she won¡¯t mind if I take her there immediately. Her top neckline was hanging downward, giving me a tantalizing view of those big boobs. My eyes roamed her body lingering on her curves and she winked at me and licked her lips slowly.


    Then Jim excused us and left while Meghan continued with his drink and scrutinized me while making some sultry moves. I know she wanted me so bad,


    Huh!!!


    She wanted my money and the enjoyment thates with spending time with me. Thest time she pleasured me, I paid her off well.


    I¡¯m a generous giver once you y your part and satisfy my sexual urge perfectly, especially when you¡¯re good with different positions andst longer in bed then I will return the favor by paying an enormous amount.


    Looking up I noticed that she was using the tip of her tongue to roll around the wine ss, and at that moment caressing her boobs and making subtle moans. I nced at my wristwatch and took my ss and drowned thest drop of the remaining tequ, and signaled to one of my guards to call Jim.


    When he came I settled the bills and also tipped him which he dly epted and then we left the club building to the garage and into my ck Mercedes AMG CLS 53 the chauffeur kicked the engine to life and drove out while security guards followed behind.


    We walked into the hotel and took the elevator to my private suite. I informed the security guards that I wish not to be disturbed.


    We got in and she went into the washroom. I got seated on the couch and quickly returned some missed calls and replied to some messages. She came out of the washroom wearing a silk transparent robe and stood by the door staring at me. That gaze was seductive and trespassing. She was obviously scanning my body. I found this intriguing and my body seemed to be responding to her presence because my dick hardened and it was quite obvious.


    I got up from the couch gracefully and walked up to her slowly building the anticipation


    I undid her robe, as slowly as possible, and there she was standing in her naked form before me


    ¡± Get down on your knees and please me¡±


    Obediently she knelt on her robe and took off my belt, undid my zip, and took off my pants. And my shaft was begging for freedom from my underpants.


    She set free my erect manhood and massaged it gently on her hand and I hurled my head back a little.


    I guided my shaft to her mouth, making her taste my precum. My dick wasrge and she could not amodate all of me in her mouth, so she took in the amount that she can, in and out sucking, licking, and kissing my shaft.


    I decided to take the lead and was fucking her mouth crazily, she was almost gagging and I didn¡¯t care one bit. I kept taking my dick to her throat and she tried to pull away but instead, I held her head in position and came in her mouth.  I pulled out of her mouth still hard and slid a finger into her forming wetness, she let out a moan, and with my other free hand I grabbed her breast and fondled them, and I then moved my hungry lips to her breast and sucked on them interchangeably.


    I added another finger to my already working finger in her clit, sliding it deeper and in and out of her honeypot.  I removed my mouth from her breast and moved to her lips and kissed her hungrily and my hands were all over her body. I noticed her body was vibrating, I spanked her ass gently and carried her to the bed, and spread her legs wide, I slid a Durex on my hard shaft, then lifted her legs and ced them on my shoulders then thrust into her, making her moan loudly.


    I flipped her over, her knees on the bed, her ass in the air and I slid into her from behind then thrust at a slow pace then I went faster then slow again then fast and hard, my dick was hitting all those hidden parts of her.


    I felt her orgasm building up and increased my pace and the intensity with which I was stroking her. I was so close with a few more hard strokes and we both exploded.

 Chapter eighteen- Unbearable Pain

    Myra¡¯s POV


    When I arrived home I went straight to my room. While changing my clothes, I consciously spot our picture frame attached to the wall. Blithe was so visible on my face in that portrait that I was super duper happy as a new wife that just finished exchanging marital vows with the love of her life. Meanwhile, my husband¡¯s face showed a manifestation of irritation.


    I smiled bitterly, reminiscing about our nuptial day. I felt overjoyed on that day knowing I¡¯ll be intertwined with the man I love, I was once dreaming of having a loving husband and a happy family


    Nevertheless, fate was cruel and brutal, the total opposite of what I desired in my marriage. Beads of sweat formed on my forehead and I felt like I was being engulfed in the darkness, no matter how I tried, there was simply no escape.


    Feeling really tired, I sat down and closed my eyes as I rested my pounding head on the couch. I gently rubbed small circles over my temple to ease the rising headache, but it looked like the headache was inevitable.


    It¡¯s been almost a year since I got intimate with my husband. My first andst night of intimacy with him was on our wedding night. Which resulted in Aria¡¯s pregnancy.


    ¡± Does he no longer find me attractive or he only wanted to get me pregnant?¡±


    ¡°How could he be so goddamn perfect yet vicious ¡±


    I don¡¯t know what¡¯s wrong with me but I can¡¯t stop yearning for him, I have tried to fight the urge, tried to forget it but each time I remember how his touch felt, his tender kisses, and the way he held and adore my body that night like I¡¯m some precious gem, I can¡¯t help but love him more. I took in lungfuls of air as I tried to calm my heart that was galloping with the speed of a hundred thousand horses.


    ¡°What do I do?¡± I said close to tearing up as I facepalm myself


    ¡°I thought that since he was the one that took my virginity it will make him cherish and adore me but why does he look at me with disgust as if my presence irritates him¡±


    ¡± Guess true lovees with a lot of pain¡±


    ¡± When heplimented me in the elevator his eyes were filled with some kind of emotions and desire hard to decipher unlike the cold stares I¡¯m used to, he has neverplimented my looks before, and the way he was staring at me sealed my breath away making my heartbeat reverberate.¡±


    I was tired, my hopes were shattered, and I thought he has changed, that finally, he will love and adore me like his wife. I must have been a fool to take hispliment to heart.


    ¡± Does he not care about my feelings, how can he talk down to me in front of his client, it¡¯s so obvious he doesn¡¯t regard me as his wife¡± I mumbled slowly with tears brimming my eyes.


    His words were so hurting, so heartbreaking that for the first time, I questioned my feelings. Damn, I have been suffering from a tender age. All I wanted was for him to love me right to make up for all those years I went through hell.


    ¡± Why can¡¯t the universe favor me, how long will I keep on wallowing in pain,¡± I whispered, my unbearable pain wasn¡¯t allowing my voice toe out.


    My heart has been smashed to pieces, and my hopes have been shattered. The pain was unbearable, it crushed me in a million parts leaving me incapable of everything. The tears won¡¯t roll down, and the screams won¡¯t escape past my quivering lips.


    What was I thinking that a man of his rank would ever love a destitute orphan like me, I might be his wife on the paper but not his heart. I doubt if he¡¯s capable of falling in love.


    The thing is even though we are living together on the same roof, we¡¯re still strangers. We don¡¯t even share the same bedroom as married couples.


    ¡± Why does he hate me so much that he can¡¯t even stay close to me?¡±And if staying away is what he wanted, then why did he marry me? I sighed knowing the answer to thatst question. How can I possibly care so much for someone that hates everything about me?


    I don¡¯t know how it happened but he already had me wrapped up in his fingers. I can¡¯t even leave even if I want to, because I am already helplessly in love with him


    Yes¡­ I know it¡¯s crazy but that¡¯s the real truth, I¡¯ve fallen so hard that I can¡¯t even imagine not being a part of his life. That will be scary.


    I coiled myself in a bun and cried till I couldn¡¯t cry anymore. My tears had dried up as the only thing I could do was hup, it was already 11. 30 pm and he was not yet home. I was getting worried, I know I was angry with him but that does not mean I want to see him in danger.


    I searched for my phone in my purse and then remembered I left it on top of the kitchen cab, I hurriedly went downstairs when I got to the kitchen I noticed that the chef was still tidying up and I instructed her to prepare a fresh orange juice while I grab my phone and move to the dining section.


    I dialed Damian¡¯s number but he didn¡¯t pick on the first ring. When I tried it again I noticed he had turned off his phone. Then I decided to call his secretary Jack to find out his whereabouts but I was sad when I called and it went to a voicemail asking me to leave a message. I sighed and ended the call and the chef came and served me the juice and I thanked her and then took a sip.


    Just then my phone rang and I noticed it was an unknown caller, I picked up immediately thinking it was Damian or Jack calling but I was disappointed when I heard the voice and it wasn¡¯t a familiar one.


    ¡± Hello beautiful¡± came the voice from the other end


    ¡± Hello who¡¯s this¡± I inquired


    ¡± It¡¯s me, Marcus I know you are surprised¡± and he chuckled


    ¡± Ohhh!!! Yeah but I thought it was someone else¡± I said


    ¡± Smiles¡± Are you expecting anyone?? Ohh!! What about your hubby is he not home?¡± he asked


    ¡± Not yet but he will soon be back,¡± I said wishing my lies turns into a reality


    ¡± Does he stay out thatte? And have you tried calling¡± he asked


    ¡± Not really, he only stays outte when he¡¯s workingte in the office but he will soon be back.¡± I have already spoken with him. I lied again but why is he interested in Damien was that why he called, it¡¯s more like he¡¯s interrogating me. I murmured


    As if he felt my difort he sighed and changed the topic and said the reason why he called was to check on me and find out if I¡¯m okay.


    ¡± That¡¯s very sweet of you, thank you I¡¯m fine¡± I answered cheerfully


    ¡± Myra, I want to invite you to a dinner date. There is a new restaurant in town, and they make the best roasted spicy shrimp. Please don¡¯t say no and it will also be the best chance for me to meet your daughter.¡± he implored


    ¡± Uhmm, should I go or not, fidgeting with my fingers and not sure of the right answer, I have not gone out on a dinner date with someone else, it has always been my best friend Sonia.


    It¡¯s a friendly date so it¡¯s not bad if I decide to go right, but what if Damian finds out?¡±


    ¡± I¡¯m waiting¡± came a subtle voice from the other end


    ¡± What if Damian finds out, I don¡¯t want to enrage him at the same time I can¡¯t continue being scared of him¡±


    ¡± Fine!! Okay!! I¡¯m in, just text me the name of the restaurant and time then I will meet you up¡± I replied


    ¡°Great!!! But you won¡¯t be driving, you¡¯reing with an infant so I will send my chauffeur to your ce and we can go together¡±  he said heartily


    ¡°Together,¡± I inquired what if Damian misunderstands


    ¡°Yeah, it¡¯s safe that way so I will be sure you got home safely after dinner, and it¡¯s the best thing to do since baby Aria will be joining us, Myra, I want to be sure you guys are safe that¡¯s my priority.¡±


    ¡± Mmm¡± I muttered why I do have a weird feeling about this dinner date


    ¡± Okay beautiful¡± See you tomorrow by 7. 00 pm


    ¡± Beautiful¡± please Marcus I¡¯m notfy with the endearing names, Myra will do just fine okay,¡± I said


    ¡± Okay¡± See you tomorrow then he chuckled before ceasing the call.Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org.


    Could it be possible, he still has feelings for me?? I shook my head. It¡¯s not possible, maybe he was just being friendly. How did he get my digit? I recalled attaching my number to the file I gave his secretary in case they wanted to inquire about anything from the meeting.


    How did hee to know about Aria and even mentioned her name? What¡¯s happening?


    Is it possible that Marcus has been stalking me¡­ I rubbed my forehead, tomorrow I will definitely find out the truth.


    I nced at my phone, it was past midnight and I had to get some sleep so I stood up from the chair and headed to my bedroom.


    ¡°What a day¡±!!!

 Chapter nineteen- Blind date

    Marcus POV


    I walked out of the house towards my ck Lamborghini that was parked outside the parking space. I pressed the button on the key and the car beeped, unlocked. I have 20 minutes to arrive at the location of the blind date, which my mum has already nned.


    I drove off and arrived twenty-five minutes already five minuteste at the 3 Michelin star restaurant. It¡¯s one of the most expensive and ssy restaurants that offers the best dining experience. I got out and closed the door then tossed the keys to the valet. Stepping into the restaurant I readjusted my already well-ironed suit and walked swiftly to the reception hostess


    ¡± Good evening sir, do you have a reservation? The hostess purred, eyeing me like I was thest drink of water in a hot desert.


    ¡± Yeah I have a reservation table 6 ¡± I responded


    ¡± Right this way please.¡± She gave me her attempt at a sultry smile, and I mentally rolled my eyes.


    I was used to this, women have been chasing after me for years trying to lock me down, but I was never interested. All I know is I¡¯m not letting Myra go, ever. She¡¯s the one for me.


    I was led to the back of the restaurant, next to the floor to the awning windows that would offer a spectacr view during the day. Seated on the banquet chair was my date tonight actually my mum¡¯s matchmaking date She Harrington with her styled highlighted blonde hair and brown eyes. She was dressed in long ck heels and a short white gown that stopped mid-thigh and hugged her body perfectly and her dress was tight around her chest area, making her boobs pop out through the deep V-neckline of her gown. She wore wild makeup that could draw attention to her even from afar making her look like a night worker.


    ¡± Sorry for keeping you waiting,¡± I said, making my presence known to her.


    she raised her head from her phone and smiled sweetly at me but I didn¡¯t return the smile I just stared at her.


    ¡± No problem, I just arrived not too long¡± She replied


    I pulled out the seat in front of her and sat down, I looked up at the hostess who was standing a little too close forfort and eye fucking me.


    ¡± If you ever need anything, please don¡¯t hesitate to ask. I¡¯ll be happy to fulfill all your needs¡± She ced a hand on my shoulder but I shrugged it off


    ¡± Please refrain from touching me, and stop all the innuendos. I¡¯m not interested and I find it highly disrespectful that you¡¯re acting in this manner¡± I said sternly, making the hostess pale and step back. Her face turned cherry red as she mumbled apologies before scurrying away.


    I looked at She who was sitting and observing the whole thing and smiling


    ¡± Does she smile all the time or maybe she is just putting up a facade¡± I mentally scoffed


    ¡± I have always wanted to meet you as I have always been your secret admirer, I didn¡¯t believe it when your mum reached out to my dad asking him if it would be okay for us to go out on a date and if everything works out perfectly we can tie the knot. I was super delighted and couldn¡¯t wait for the fixed day to arrive, it felt like ages but atst, I¡¯m here with you. It¡¯s more like a dreame true.¡±   She kept babbling like an excited kid.


    I wasn¡¯t paying attention to her words, I was not drawn to her instead, I found myselfparing her with Myra, her voice was not as soothing as Myra¡¯s.


    Her hair color was too basic and the manner she was openly professing her feelings is a turnoff and not ady-like attitude.


    But with Myra, things are way different, in her case, I¡¯m the one chasing after her and she¡¯s the one being hunted.


    And I must say, I love being the chaser.


    There is something about her that makes the chasing even morepelling.


    ¡± You seem distracted and stressed, I can relieve you of whatever thing you feel that¡¯s if you let me,¡± She spoke out bringing me back to the unwanted date conversation. She bit her lips seductively at me before cing her hands on my hands and rubbing them slowly while maintaining eye contact with me.


    ¡± Why is she making an obvious attempt to woo me, Myra was just the opposite. I found myselfparing again. I would be lying if I say I find her intriguing, this whole date stuff is getting on my nerves and the more I try to feign interest the more vapid it¡¯s¡­ I nced at my wristwatch and decided to ce an order for our dinner since it was gettingte already and I am quite famished. Also, it will be a good moment for her to stop chattering.


    ¡± Can we ce an order, please I¡¯m famished¡± I said softly


    She nodded hesitantly and picked up the menu, then shed one of those seductive smiles and said you can order for me, anything you choose is perfectly satisfactory for me.


    I was perplexed with her decision but I smiled and nodded my head.


    ¡± Good. I¡¯ll order for both of us.¡± I gave her a grin, and set our menus on the side


    I signaled a waitress toe take our order, a waitress emerged, greeting the both of us with a polite smile.


    ¡± Good night, Can I start you two off with a drink,¡± the waitress asked


    ¡°Yeah, we¡¯d like a bottle of Petrus wine,¡± I said


    ¡± Okay. Would you like to order now as well?¡±


    ¡°Yeah, we¡¯ll have the tenderloin with roasted potatoes, green beans, and mushrooms.¡±


    ¡°And chicken torti casserole,¡± She chipped in


    She wrote down our order, before leaving us.


    ¡± Do youe here to eat often?¡± She asked


    ¡± Yes, I do. My friends own this restaurant.¡±


    She hummed, looking around the restaurant, and said


    ¡± Are you not going to inquire about personal info about me, or you don¡¯t find me attractive enough because you have not said anything to me since you got here.¡±


    I leaned back into the seat, just as the waitress came back with our bottle of red wine


    She poured two sses, before excusing herself. I watched as She took a huge gulp before I took a sip myself.


    ¡°So¡­ tell me about yourself, She,¡±  I asked not really curious to know


    ¡± What do you want to know?¡± She asked while blushing and pouting her lips


    ¡± You can start from somewhere¡± I gave her a devastating grin and she blushed harder while biting her lip seductively.


    ¡± She Harrington. I¡¯m 25 years old. I¡¯m the managing executive in my dad¡¯s club. I love having fun, good food, having sex, and watching movies. My favorite color is purple and my favorite sex position is lotus.¡± I think that should cover anything you want to know, she said shamelessly in a tone that I considered cringe.


    I was shocked though I didn¡¯t show it ¡°That¡¯s one hell of a prelude, thanks She for those tidbits of information. I said slowly, gazing at her and she grinned.


    Our food came out a short while after and we ate infortable silence. Though it¡¯s obvious she wasn¡¯t pleased with the quietness buh has no other option than toply. After we finished eating I ordered dessert a chocteva cake with ice cream.


    ¡± I want to go back to what we were talking about earlier before the food came. Marcus, I love you so much though I have always admired you from a distance, and your mum helped out by arranging this date at least it saved me from going through the trouble of pursuing you. I have incredible intentions for us¡±. She said


    ¡± And what are your intentions, She?¡± I inquired


    ¡± I think I¡¯ve more than made my intentions clear since you arrived but since you can¡¯t seem to wrap your head around the idea, let me make it a bit clearer.


    I want you, one look at you and I want you forever by my side, I¡¯m sorry no I¡¯m not sorry that¡¯s the way I feel about you and I¡¯m d we¡¯re having this date. Do you understand now?¡± Her eyes zed with heat and lust


    I wasn¡¯t ready to dwell on that now, so I decided to turn the tables on her


    ¡± You should finish your dessert, the ice cream is dissolving ¡±


    She looked at me with wide eyes and said softly ¡± You¡¯re more momentous than the dessert.¡±


    I didn¡¯t want to hurt her feelings but at the same time, I detest pretense. I can¡¯t lead her on when I know nothing meaningful will evere out of the rtionship and I can never care or treat her endearingly.  It¡¯s all Mum¡¯s idea and I agreed to this date just to make her happy.


    ¡± I know I¡¯m asking a lot of you Marcus. But I need you to give me a chance and trust me. Give me a chance to prove to you that I¡¯m here for the long haul. I have loved you as a teenager and now as an adult, I still love you so much she murmured while running a finger across her lip.


    I studied her for a bit, her eyes showing a trace of hurt, and I shook my head and cleared my voice


    ¡± This Is going to hurt her feelings but it¡¯s for the best,¡± my conscience said to me


    She, I¡¯m sorry I have no intention of keeping you as my girlfriend. This date is Mum¡¯s idea and not mine. I would have called it off when she told me but it was toote because she had already set up the n with you before informing me. I understand you have had a crush on me for a long time, but trust me I feel nothing for you and never will¡­ I dered


    ¡°Listen, Marcus, we can make this work and I promise to put in my best behavior,¡± She said in a pleading tone


    I pulled back, looking at the fogged look on her face, before calling the waitress over for the check.


    She held my hand after I finished paying for our meal and I gently pulled out my hand.


    ¡± Marcus, please don¡¯t do this to me¡±


    ¡°Are you that desperate?¡± I asked looking at her sternly


    ¡± No¡­no¡­ Marcus, how could you even say that?¡±


    ¡°Because that¡¯s what you¡¯re depicting now, you¡¯re clingy and possessive of someone that has not even asked you out, you should carry yourself with dignity, you¡¯re a woman. Stop hurling yourself at a man. I said and stood up to leave but she held my hand saying


    ¡± How about us finishing off the date night together on your bed¡± she suggested seductively


    I shook my head and red at her ¡± Stop trying, you¡¯re not my type and can never be.¡± I said in a toneced with dark humor. With that, I walked out of the restaurant without sparing her a second nce.


    I got to the parking lot and entered my car then picked up my phone to call my cousin Frank. I need to clear my head. All I want to do at the moment is to hang out with him and drown myself in some liquor.


    Immediately he picked up and started with his sillyughter and spoofs.


    ¡± Hey buddy, Are you done with your date¡± he teased while chuckling


    ¡± Hey Man, not in the mood for that, I wanted to find out if you¡¯re free so we can hang out together and have a drink.


    ¡°Woah!!! Slow down buddy was the date that bad or maybe you¡¯re still having Myra¡¯s syndrome¡±


    ¡± Are you in or out?¡± I asked hastily


    ¡°Okay, I¡¯m in, where is the spot,¡± He asked though still attempting to stop chuckling


    ¡°See you in the Lustystrip Club and don¡¯te asking questions about the date, we¡¯re going to have fun,¡± I said more like I was cautioning him.


    ¡°Okay!! Fine, see you in a jiffy man, and he ended the call.


    Plunging the phone into my cubby hole I drove off to the Lustystrip club. Getting to the club and still no sign of Frank¡¯s car I decided to stay in the car and wait for him to arrive so we could enter the club together. Looking around the club I caught a glimpse of a  Mercedes AMG CLS 53 with Graham boldly written on the license te. Still contemting what Damian, a married man, will be doing in the club by this time of the night.


    I got the shock of my life when Damian came out of the club holding ady on the waist, it was apparent that the woman wasn¡¯t Myra.


    The woman in question was chubby and petite while Myra was the opposite of her.


    I tried to convince myself just maybe she is one of his business associates but thedy¡¯s next action of kissing Damian was enough to confirm my doubts about them being fuck buddies


    ¡± Damian is cheating on Myra and why will he do that,¡± I asked no one in particr


    I stepped out of the car and hid in one of the cars parked in the garage so I could get a clearer view of the mysterious woman. Immediately she turned towards the ce I was hiding, I got the tremendous shock of my lifeContent from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.


    ¡°Meghan¡±

 Chapter twenty- Gold digger

    I stepped out of the car and hid in one of the cars parked in the garage so I could get a clearer view of the mysterious woman. Immediately she turned towards the ce I was hiding, I got the tremendous shock of my life


    ¡°Meghan¡±


    ¡± what the hell is she doing here,¡± I asked myself


    ¡°How did she get entangled with Damian? I have always known that she loathed Myra but I thought it all ceased in college.


    ¡± Could it be that she doesn¡¯t know Damian is married?¡± I shook my head that¡¯s not possible, for her to be fucking a man of his status means she must have done her research on him.


    ¡± The Meghan I know is cruel and malicious and her heart is like the angry sea of Poseidon¡±


    ¡± Gosh,¡± I remember vividly how she always wants to befriend every dude thates from a wealthy background. She is a gold digger that pursues and forms a rtionship with any affluent person while her sole aim is your money. Even if it means gracing your bed. She is a greedy slut.


    I couldn¡¯t wrap my head around what was going on. I just stood motionless staring at them till they got into the car and drove off.


    I finally regained my sanity and decided to trail them. I had to get proper evidence, and I hurried to my car to follow them but I was caught off by Frank who had arrived at the club and was waiting for me in front of my car.


    ¡± Wrong timing¡± I decided to text my private detective to track down reasonable information about them. Then I made a mental note to call my private detective muchter since I was with Frank and I didn¡¯t want him to find out what was going on. At that moment I lost interest in having fun. All I wanted to do was talk to Myra and pacify her. Just maybe hearing her voice will change my mood. If I¡¯m feeling this way, how then will Myra be feeling?


    ¡°Poor Myra¡±  I sighed indistinctly


    I couldn¡¯t concentrate but Frank wasn¡¯t buying my idea of us going back home after bringing him out of his space then I wanted to nk him out. He wasn¡¯t having it  and I decided to indulge him


    We walked into the bar with the urge to get tipsy that night, Pushing our way through the mob of already drunk and non-drunk people that were blocking the entrance. We made our way to the VIP section of the club. Low sensual music was ying in the background as the dim multi-colored light blinked frequently, nting my eyesight.


    I took a seat on one of therge empty couches and Frank sat beside me while we ordered three bottles of Don Julio tequ, the first step of drowning ourselves in liquor. I sat and watched the strippers dance on the pole. Two scantily dressed strippers approached Frank and sat with him, one of them wanted to make a move towards me but I waved her off.  They started caressing their hands all over him, Frank was relishing the moment, I know the feeling this is something I always do to relieve stress but tonight is different. I wasn¡¯t in the mood to be pleased. All I felt at the moment was rage. Watching them pleasuring themselves it felt like my anger was slowly building up and the only way to calm myself down at the moment was to look away from them and focus on something else. The drinks soon arrived and I started drinking. I opened the first bottle of tequ and gulped it down directly from the bottle as I gaped angrily at the many people that filled the club. Everything about today seems to be unpleasant. I woke up this morning in high spirits, went to the office, had a bit of a busy day after working my ass off, came back home napped a little before I woke up, and realized I had a dinner date and quickly dressed up for it.


    Getting to the restaurant She was not close to what I imagined from her obscene dress and her wild makeup was a turn-off for me. And the way she was shamelessly trying to woo and have sex with me it was disgusting. I am angry with Mum for setting me up on a date with her, the fact that she is from a reputable family doesn¡¯t mean she is disciplined.


    ¡± She is a real description of uncouth and tacky¡±


    When I left her in the restaurant I nned toe to the club and drown myself in liquor and probably get a girl and getid after the nerve-racking stress of the date. Till I got the shock of my life not quite long which changed all the initial ns I had.


    I finished my first bottle of tequ and dropped the empty bottle on the table at the same thing ady walked up to me. She¡¯s one of the strippers that was performing on the stage earlier with her feral makeup and her mesh transparent dress that reveals her matching bra and panties. She sat beside me biting her lips seductively at me before cing her hands on my chest and caressing it slowly while maintaining eye contact. I grabbed the second tequ and opened it and drank from the bottle while staring at the stripper.


    She noticed my attention was on her and that encouraged her to explore more, she raised her leg and ced it on me, roosting me gently. I watched her every action with interest before she was now fully settled on me. Towing her closer I grabbed her boobs, fondling them gently.  Then she ced her second leg on me and climbed me, Now sitting on my legs, She drew her head closer in an attempt to kiss me.


    Just like a sh, the thoughts of Myra crammed my mind, and whatever alcohol that got me intoxicated left me immediately and my sober self took control of the moment and I shoved her out of my body. I felt bad more like I betrayed Myra, I should be feeling bad after what I saw but instead, I was selfish to allow my urge to take control of me.


    I turned and yelled at Frank but he was too engrossed in the act of forey he was having with the strippers, I watched as he kept finger fucking one of the strippers while sucking and hand-fondling the boobs of the other one. And they were moaning loudly forgetting they were not in the hotel room. I groaned and cursed lowly when I saw I couldn¡¯t get his attention and I closed my eyes in annoyance just then an idea struck my mind and I decided to try out the trick and know whether it will work.


    I tapped him fiercely on the head and luckily I was able to get his attention. Looking up and noticing I was the one that cut short his delightful moment. I could tell that he was annoyed by the interruption.


    ¡± You know you just interrupted something intense right now?¡± he inquired, gritting his teeth in anger before facing the strippers who looked at him with wants in their eyes.


    ¡± You know you could always pick one of them¡± Frank muttered, noticing my prolonged stare.


    ¡°Sorry bro, I¡¯m leaving. Can you finish up quickly so we can go together?¡± I pleaded


    ¡± Nope cuz, I¡¯m not leaving till I have a taste of their honey pots, besides we didn¡¯te together, I can always find my way home.¡± He said


    ¡± Fine,¡± I muttered lowly and I picked up the second bottle of tequ I was drinking and headed to the entrance. Taking onest nce at Frank I shook my head and left the club.


    On a normal regr day, I would have been in one of the private suites, fucking the brains out of any of the sluts here, but today my thoughts were clouded by Myra.


    I heaved a sigh as fresh air hit me as I strode outside the club. Inside the club smelled of sweat and alcohol and I was delighted to breathe fresh air again. I took a big gulp from my bottle and walked towards the car. I removed my suit jacket and threw the jacket and the bottle into the car before entering inside and driving off.


    ¡± It¡¯s been one hell of a night,¡± I mutteredContent from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.


    The ride back to my house was slower than usual. I spent my time thinking about everything that happened today. I finally arrived at my gate and took out my gate remote controller and opened the gate before entering. I packed my car in the garage and took out my jacket and the bottle of tequ locked the car and made my way inside the house.


    My house is quiet as usual, it¡¯ste already and the domestic workers have gone to bed. I have instructed them to always go to bed early and not stay up waiting for me.


    I opened my front door and made my way inside, switching on the lights inside. I noticed that the chef had left my food on the dining table. I walked up to the dining table and opened the dishes, noticing he made pasta with pesto, feta cheese, pine nuts, and spiced shrimp, one of my favorite grubs. But I wasn¡¯t hungry. Or shall I say, my present mood made me lose my appetite? Closing back the tes I left the dining room and went upstairs to my bedroom.


    I entered my bedroom and stripped naked before entering thevatory. I walked in and heated the water on the jacuzzi and added thevender shower gel before entering inside and rxing in it. I closed my eyes slowly as my body rxed under the moisture.


    My shoulder dropped down as I began bathing myself under the soapy water. I finished bathing and brushed my mouth to avoid the lingering smell of alcohol.


    I stepped out of the bathroom into my closet where I picked out an off-white colored pajamas. I finished dressing and walked out of the bedroom to the study room.


    I got to my study room and picked up myptop from the table and went to the couch to reply to some emails. But first things first I need to call Myra and check on her.


    I dialed her number and she didn¡¯t pick up on the first ring, I assumed maybe she had gone to bed but I decided to call again the second time just maybe luck will smile on me. After a few mins, her soothing voice came up, I introduced myself and we started talking though I noticed she wasn¡¯tfortable having Damian as the topic of the discussion.


    So I stopped querying her and invited her out for dinner which she reluctantly epted. I was so excited when she said


    ¡°Yes¡±


    It will also be a chance for me to meet her daughter Aria, I have always wanted to find out if she took after Myra or Damian in looks. I will be deceiving myself if I say I wasn¡¯t looking forward to seeing the mini version of Myra. I couldn¡¯t help but smile to myself


    ¡± Finally I will be having a secluded moment with Myra,¡± Yippie!!!


    I couldn¡¯t even focus on the emails I wanted to reply to, the joy I felt at that moment was inexplicable. I closed back theptop and dropped it back on the couch. Then I connected my phone to the music Bluetooth speaker and  Selena Gomez¡¯s Song ¡°The heart wants what it wants¡± came on. I sat back on the couch listening to the music, it felt as if the music was speaking to my soul, about my present situation and I couldn¡¯t help but reminisce back to how I have turned down many women because of  ¡°Her¡±

 Chapter twenty one- Drama queen

    Marcus POV


    Sun rays slipped into the room through the slightly parted curtains and fell directly on my face. I sizzled and stirred from the bed. I nced at the bedside clock and it was a few minutes after seven in the morning.


    I yawned and sighed, I had workedte in the night and went to bed at midnight. I wanted to clear up any pending work and emails because I didn¡¯t want anything that would interrupt my dinner date with Myra.  I took off my sleeping mask and wore my flip-flops thaty on the floor beside the bed and made my way to the bathroom, I took a quick brush and came out of the bathroom, I decided to call my secretary and notify her that I would bete to the office but I can¡¯t seem to find my phone, I    made my way downstairs to the lounge just maybe I left it therest night.


    I walked into the lounge and noticed that I had forgotten to turn off the music, I turned it off and grabbed my phone from the table. I noticed I had missed calls from Mum and she even sent a text asking me to call that it was urgent.


    I dialed the number of my secretary and immediately she picked up


    ¡± Good morning Sir.¡±


    ¡± Good morning, send a copy of my schedule for today in my email, I will check itter,¡± I ordered her and ended the call.


    I walked into the dining room and picked up my cup of steaming brown coffee from the table. It was the number one rule I had made with my domestic staff, especially my chef. My coffee should be ready and on the table before I leave for the office.


    I finished drinking the coffee and threw the empty cup inside the trash and went back to my room to call Mum. I got to my room and prayed silently hoping that she wasn¡¯t calling because of Dad¡¯s illness.


    I dialed her line and she picked up immediately, without wasting time and I chuckled at her action.


    ¡± Marcus Lawson, what¡¯s your problem?¡± she asked between sobbing


    I was surprised at her action but one thing I know is that she only calls me by my full name when she¡¯s angry. But why is she sobbing? I clenched my arms and tried to pacify her to find out the problem.


    ¡± What¡¯s the problem, Mum? Why are you crying? Please talk to me, so sorry I missed your calls. I was sleeping and I left my phone in the lounge.¡± I exined


    ¡± What happenedst night?¡± She asked


    ¡± Last night!¡± I tried to recall any of the incidents from yesterday but the only thing that shed through my mind was the incident that happened in the club.


    ¡± Mum, nothing happenedst night, okay? How¡¯s Dad? I answered her


    ¡± What happened between you and She?¡±


    ¡± Ohh! That!¡± I chuckled loudly and my mum hissed and told me she wasn¡¯t ying and that I should better start exining why I decided to treat her that way.


    ¡± Mum, she¡¯s not my type of woman, and I can¡¯t even imagine myself spending the rest of my life with her. No Mum, It won¡¯t  work between me and her.¡± I said in a serious tone


    ¡± Why do you always have an excuse for all thedies I have arranged for you, or is there something you¡¯re not telling me?


    ¡± Mum, you know I would never hide anything from you just that I have not seen that woman that appeals to me.¡± Except for Myra though I didn¡¯t say it out loud.


    ¡± Are you trying to tell me that out of the twelve dates I have arranged for you, none of thedies has captured your heart, Marcus? My instincts were right about you all this while. She started sobbing again this time around more loudly, I waited for her to calm down but it seems like I would wait forever if I don¡¯t say anything.


    ¡± What¡¯s the problem, mum, what are you thinking?¡± I asked, getting tired of her drama


    ¡± Why put me through all that trouble of getting a good girl for you, you should have just told me that you don¡¯t swing that way.¡± She said in a disapproving tone


    ¡± Swing that way?¡± I don¡¯t understand what you meant


    ¡± Like you¡¯re not attracted to women.¡± She replied


    ¡°What! How could you say, such mum? I¡¯m very much attracted to women.¡± I let out deep-throatyughter, I know Mum is a drama queen but how could she think that I¡¯m not attracted to women?


    ¡°Gosh! This woman always seems to amaze me. How can shee up with such an outrageous thought?


    I sighed and cleared my voice and was about to speak but she cut me off saying


    ¡± Marcus, prove it to me, bring your girlfriend to the house, introduce her to us. I¡¯m giving you till the end of the month to do that.¡± And she ended the call without saying goodbye.


    ¡± phew!¡± I¡¯m d that¡¯s all over. I scratched my head and wondered how Dad coped with her dramas, I chuckled again remembering her words. I shook my head. Thest thing I want is anything that would change my mood, not today.


    I picked up my phone and made a Vip reservation at the restaurant for a romantic dinner. I want to make sure everything is perfect, it¡¯s going to be a memorable night and I didn¡¯t want to disappoint Myra. After making the reservation, I noticed a notification popped up on my phone, and opened it. It was an email from my secretary about my schedule.


    ¡± Meeting with the board members ¨C 11:00 am


    ¡± Meeting with Daniel Patterson Company ¨C 2:00 pm


    ¡± Inspecting of the new site corporation ¨C 4:30 pm


    Looking at my schedule for the day, I doubt if I would have the patience to go through it so I called back my secretary and she picked up immediately


    ¡± Hello, Sir.¡±


    ¡± Alyson, handle all my schedule for today, please I don¡¯t think I would being to the office today.¡±


    ¡°And one more thing, I don¡¯t want to be disturbed.¡±Belongs to ? n0velDrama.Org.


    ¡± But Sir, The¡­¡­.


    ¡± No but, Alyson, I¡¯ll pay you double for this.¡± I ended the call.


    I made my way out of the house, towards one of my cars in the parking lot. I pressed the key on the remote control of the GLK and the locks opened. I hopped in, and I decided to stop over in one of the beauty bars and have my hair trimmed and also do my facials before going over to the restaurants to inspect the deco.
