“The present is all that matters, Harriet.” Damien said, and kissed her, more passionately this time.Harriet gave in to the kiss, letting his taste distract her from her pain. Damien lifted her in his arms and carried her, taking the stairs that led to his room. While they walked, their lips were still connected as all they wanted to do was savor each other’s bodies. ‘It is long overdue.’ Damien thought as he quickly opened the door and placed her softly on his bed. He pulled out of the kiss and stared at her, watching as she struggled to catch her breath.“Let me make love to you.” He said and kissed her forehead tenderly. Words couldn’t describe how Harriet felt, hearing him say those words.It was going to be their first time together. Well, second, but Harriet wasn’t going to count the first because he had no memory of it. Harriet wrapped her hands around his neck, placing a brief kiss on his lips before nodding her head in approval. With a smile on his face, Damien began to un
Damien felt a movement beside him and when he opened his eyes, he was met with Harriet’s sleeping figure, her body snuggled up against him. He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her closer as a faint smile appeared on his lips. Taking a peek at the window, he could tell that it was already morning. A groan left his lips and he shut his eyes, pretending not to have noticed the bright morning sun.He didn’t want his moment with Harriet to end just yet. Ten minutes later, Harriet’s eyes fluttered open but was met by Damien’s bare chest, which was directly in front of her. A blush crept up to her face as she remembered all that happened last time. As a matter of fact, her insides still ached, and she could still feel him inside her. It felt like it was her first time and she found the pain pleasurable. If she didn’t have to go to the office that morning, she would definitely be up for a second round.She managed to raise her head from his chest and was immediately met with a bright
Harriet walked into her office at exactly 10am and, as expected, she got a lot of judgmental stares from some of the workers who interpreted her lateness as a privilege she got for being the chairman’s daughter. Harriet kept her shoulders straight and her chin up, and she walked through the lobby, making her way to the elevator. Just as the doors were about to close, a hand stopped it and, to her surprise, it was Alexa. Releasing a soft breath, Harriet prepared herself for what was to come.“Miss Edward! I see that you have finally decided to show up. For a moment, I thought you would be taking the day off despite staying away from the company for two weeks.” Alexa smiled pretentiously.“I didn’t expect you to worry about me so much, Alexa. I am really touched.” Harriet replied with a matching smile, keeping her head high. She was not going to look like a weakling before Alexa.“Believe me, Harriet, I wasn’t…”“Save it, Alexa. I don’t have the time to exchange words with you today. A
“I didn’t realize this earlier because I didn’t take my time to think and investigate but, Adrian Daniels was Bethany’s boyfriend ten years ago. My guess is that they are still working together.” Tony finished and looked back up at Harriet only to find her staring at him like he was a clown. “Did you hear a thing I said, Harriet?” He asked, wondering why it seemed like she didn’t hear him. A few seconds later, Harriet chuckled and shook her head, taking a sip from her glass of apple juice that was already on the table. “Do you have any evidence, Tony? You see, I totally understand that I have not been a good friend to you since I arrived in New York, which is why I can totally understand your pain. But, you should know that I wouldn’t just believe things like this without proper evidence.” She cleared her throat and straightened her posture. “As someone who was a victim of lies, I cannot do that to another person.” She finished. “I don’t care if you do not believe me, Harriet. I am
Adrian handed an envelope that was filled with cash to a muscular man who had a tattoo that filled his arm and ran up to his neck.“I don’t know, boss. She’s already in prison so it might be a little bit hard to get her out.” The strange man said, taking a puff from his cigarette. “Break into the prison or blow it down, I don’t care. She just needs to get out of there, It’s either that happens or I’m fucked!” He yelled, banging his hands on the steering wheel.The tattooed man who went by the name ‘ Drax ‘ shook his head in defeat. He knew that it would be impossible to get Evelyn out legally, since there was too much evidence against her.But, the last thing he wanted was to incur the wrath of his boss, Adrian. It was a good thing that she hadn’t been proven guilty by the court. Her date was still a week away, which meant that she was in a prison with less security.“Alright, boss. I’ll get her out.” He promised and adjusted his face-cap before walking out of the car. He headed bac
“I want a divorce!” Damien Daniels, her husband towered over her as he yelled. She had just come back from the hospital and was about sharing the good news with him. In her hand was the result of her pregnancy test and as she expected, she was pregnant. It came as a shock to her especially since her and Damien had only spent one night together which was infact a mistake. Not that it mattered to Harriett. To her, this was a way of solidifying their marriage. “W-what are you talking about?” Harriett’s voice broke and her tone was unstable. She couldn’t believe her ears. Why now? Why was he suddenly bringing this up? “You think I wouldn’t know that you’ve been sleeping with my brother?” He says and she staggers, her brows creasing as confusion spread through her face. “Sleeping with Adrian? Why would you even say that?” She denies and he slams a picture on the table for her to see. She hurriedly picks it up only to drop it back with a scream. “This isn’t possible!” She yelled. It was
Harriett clenched the pregnancy test result in her hand, ruining the paper. She wasn’t going to tell him about it anymore. Not after he had hurt her. She knew so well that Damien didn’t love her but they were friends. They had been for a long time so how could he kick her out so heartlessly? What hurt her the most were his words ‘ None of that matters, Harriett. I don’t love you.’ How could be so cruel to someone he spent most of his life with? If he didn’t even like her, why did he make her feel like they were friends? Why put up with her for all these years?She ridiculed herself as she sat on the floor, chuckling like a mad woman. ‘I guess I’ll always be a second option.’ She muttered to herself. But, she had always known this. Damien didn’t love her, he never even really liked her. She was just someone he was forced to put up with. Harriett looked around and discovered that the maids were beginning to whisper amongst themselves as they passed by, probably mocking her terrible
Outside Damien’s home, Harriett’s car was already waiting. One by one, she packed all her boxes into the car with the help of Mrs Jane. She turned around to look at the house one last time, a tear slipping out of her eyes as she remembered how happy she was when she entered this same house. She came with a smile only to leave with tears. How pitiful! Without even going to her father’s house, she drove straight to the court after dropping Mrs Jane and filed for a divorce, waited for the papers to be ready before leaving. She was going to make things easier for him, just like she had always done. For the entire three years of their marriage, she always put his feelings before hers and even now that it was about to end, she was going to do just that. He wanted her gone, so she was going to leave. She checked her phone and saw that she had nine missed calls from Adrian. She had been ignoring his call since the incident with Damien happened. He hadn’t wronged her in any way but she did
