Chapter 23 Mistake and guilt
(Mistake and guilt)
Abby headed for her office, intentionally avoiding Fred's questions about the dinner at the Blacks mansion. She just don't want to believe it that she'll soon be married to Damien, the man who finds delights in taunting her.
Taking a deep breath, she opened her office and sat down to begin her work.
No matter how hard she tried to focus on her work, her mind kept drifting to the mysterious girl in Damien's life.
Who is this girl? Is he using her as a substitute because she looks like that girl?
Those thoughts alone gave her a migraine with an immense displeasure, not to mention her marriage to Damien in 3 days time.
How's she gonna explain this to her parents, shit! everything is just getting worst and worst.
Finally she was done with the documents, actually she's to deliver this herself to avoid disclosure of different affairs in the company.
Abby took the elevator to the CEO's office only for her to bump into Daisy who spilled wine on her
"Oops, should I be sorry?" Daisy scoffed as she glared at Abby who frowned.
She's aware that Daisy did that on purpose but she won't want to get into a fight with the daughter of one of the richest families in the country.
"Really? You're just gonna walk away after stealing my man? Abby jones isn't it? You will surely regret ever seducing Damien, I should warn you one more time.
Stay. Away. From Damien, he's mine, only mine and I'll take down anyone who dares stand between us."
Daisy warned with a dangerous glare
Without being told, Abby could tell that Daisy is a crazy lover and a dangerous one that will do anything for Damien.
Abby sighed and walked towards Daisy
"Are you done blabbing?" She asked without a hint of fear making Daisy bit her lip in anger
"You should also talk to Damien course I don't delight any pleasure from this." Abby said and walked away, leaving Daisy whose heart boiled in rage.
Abby informed the CEO of her presence as the door swung open, she walked in with the documents
"Sorry sir, I tried to..." She stopped in her tracks when she lifted her head only for her eyes to meet Henry sitting opposite Damien.
"Abby... What are you doing here? I mean.. You work here?" Henry looked so surprised himself but his eyes never left Abby as guilt filled him.
She look so gorgeous like a queen who should be commanding and ruling her country
"Sorry... Um, sir the f.files.." Abby placed the documents on the desk.
Her eyes met the most handsome set of eyes, he looks so hot and handsome as he sat on his swivel chair and his eyes drifted from her to Henry.
"You know him honey?" He asked
Abby felt suffocated, yes, she loves the way he referred to her as honey but Henry was present here.
He was once her world, he was once the man she wanted to spend her life with and here's Damien, the only man who could make her dance to his tunes with just the movement of his hands.
"Y..yes, he's my ex I told you a.about." she stuttered nervously, she looked deep into Damien's eyes as she spoke.
He flashed her a cute smile and stared at her for a while, she knew he was up to no good.
"Okay, well.. Mr. Smith, we can't continue the contact then, you were my fiancee's boyfriend so I can't partner with you anymore." Damien spoke fiercely
"What? Fi..fiancee? How can you say that? Abby? Is it true?" Henry was confused
"Yes, my fiance, I'm gonna be a married woman soon. How's Tessa and the baby doing?" Abby asked with a smile as she walked towards Damien and sat on his laps.
"Who told you about the ba..baby?" He looked surprised
He made sure the news of the newborn was kept secret but guess his secret was already licked out.
"I have my ways dear." Abby answered
"You trust him? You moved on that easily?" Henry asked with a hint of regret in his voice.
"Of course, she should, are you trying to insinuate something Mr. Smith." Damien spat angrily with a frightening tone.
"She's mine, Abby belongs to me we're betrothed to each other!" Henry yelled angrily as Damien stood up and walked towards Henry who fumed angrily
"She's no longer yours, the earlier you know, the better for you." Damien informed as Henry angrily walked away
Abby immediately stood up and stretched her skirt as she glared at Damien who chuckled.
"Why'd you bring him here!" She angrily lasted out
"Cool down wifey, he's a business associate, you don't expect me to reject my business proposals because of you." He pointed out
"I can't believe you, how could you?" Abby was pissed off as she slammed the documents on the desk and angrily walked away.
Damien watched her retarding figure as she angrily walked away.
Every passing day became a torment to him, he knew something was wrong with him because he can't stop thinking about her.
Those feelings years ago stirred within him, Abby is mesmerizing his senses, he just wants her by his side and he will do whatever it takes to make her his.
At that thought, a grin escaped his lips. He went through the documents and files on his desk and set to work.
"Good day boss." Fred greeted as he entered Damien's office with a smile.
"Okay, what's up?" Damien asked his gaze still on the file
"You have a business project at japan. For 3 days, a business proposal from the Maccaull groups, and about t meetings to attend." Fred announced.
"Cancel the Japan project." Damien concluded
"But.. Boss, this project is worth billions." Fred reminded
"I can't miss my wedding dummy." Damien informed
"You know grandpa won't appreciate this idea."
Fred walked to the bar and turned himself a glass of whisky.
"I won't miss my wedding." Damien insisted
"But you missed the first wedding." Fred reminded
"That's why I won't make same mistake."
Damien said with guilt as he face palmed himself
"C'mon man, it's not your fault, besides they said she's alive." Fred offered him a glass of whisky which he quickly gulped in one go.
