Damon POV

I glanced at my wristwatch, it was 7am. I walked into the bathroom to brush my teeth and freshen up…

I changed into my gym clothing and headed downstair

“ Good morning son”. My dad greeted

“ morning dad”. I greeted back

“ Are you feeling nervous?”. he asked

“Why will I?”. I replied

“You just need to make a speech and…..

“ dad, I know what to do”. I replied cutting him short

“ That is my son”. he praised me.”

I scoffed and headed to the gym…….

.

.

I was surprised to see Donald and Mikel in the gym house

“ really guys , when did you get here?”. I asked

“6am”. Donald replied

“ you mean you came over to my house without checking on me?”. I asked

“ sorry man, we thought you were still sleeping”. Mikel replied

I looked at them and smirk

“ you guys are impossible “

“ are we all going together to the dinner party?”. Mikel asked

“ No,I need to go pick my date”. I replied

“ cool”. he replied

I thought about Nora, I really missed her ………

Noami Sis POV

.

.

I really can’t wait to see Damon, I really can’t wait to feel his hands around me

I glanced at the time and smiled, just few hours left to meet Damon

.

.

Nora POV

.

I glanced at the time, it was already 5pm. I quickly jumped up from the bed and rushed into the bathroom to bath. I returned to the room with my towel wrapped around me, I walked towards the wardrobe and pulled out five beautiful gowns

“ choose the most beautiful gown?”.I asked Zara who was quietly watching me all through

“ The blue, no the red or should I say the pink”. She replied confusedly

“ what are you saying?”. I asked her

“ The gowns are all beautiful?”. She replied, I can’t choose

I looked at the five gowns in front of me and sighed

“ just put on the red one “.she said

“ really?”. I asked

“ yes, it will have give you a fitting when you wear it”. She replied

“ Thanks sis”. I said flashing her a smile

.

I stared at myself in the mirror with my eyes widened in surprise

“ wow, is this really me?”. I muttered

“ you look like an angel”.Zara complimented

“ Thanks”. I said

The gown was just perfect, it gave me a close fitting and brought out my shape in a very attractive way

I plaited my long hair is a loosed bun

“ why can’t you let it fall”. Zara suggested

“ My hair is too long “. I said

“ that will make it perfect”. She said

I looked at her and smiled

“ how do you know so much about fashion?”. I asked her

“ just do as I say”. She said ignoring my question

“ fine”. I said as I let my hair fall

“ perfect”. I heard her muttered

I brought out my make up box and applied little

“ is it okay?”. I asked facing her

“Make use of a pink lipstick”. She suggested

“ why?”. I asked

“ your lip colour is pink , you don’t need to change it, you just need to make it brighter”. She explained

Alright”. I nodded

I cleaned off the red lipstick and applied a pink one…

I stared at my reflection in the mirror and could not believe the lady staring at me was me .

.

.

I heard the sound of a car driving into the compound

“ I think Damon is around”. Zara said running out to confirm if it was Damon

“ Damon”. I heard her screamed and I smiled

“ Zara”. She called , Damon is here

I stared at the beautiful shoes in front of me

“ which one do I put on?how I wish Zara was here

I settled for the black heels and grabbed a red purse

Black goes with anything”. I thought

.

.

I headed outside and gasped in surprise when I saw Damon

“ he was looking like a demi- god in his all white outfit . His face lit up when he saw me

“ Nora,you look beautiful “. he complimented staring at me, I never knew you hair was this long

“ Thanks”. I replied blushing

“ it looks good on you”. he remarked

“ Thanks”. I muttered looking at Zara who gave me “ I told you” look

“ what of your mother?”. he asked

“ She went over to the shop”. Zara replied

“ Good”. he nodded

“ I want to go with you”. Zara said whining

“ you can’t”. I said eyeing her and I looked on in surprise as Damon bent to her size and whispered something to her and immediately her face lit up

“ Bye”. She waved at both of us , make sure you both have fun”. She said as she winked at me

.

.

“ what did you whisper to her?”. I asked Damon on our way

“ I just made a promise to her”. he replied

“ what promise?”. I asked

“ it is between Zara and I”. He replied with a smirk

We remained silent throughout the drive . I stared at him and he appeared to be lost in thought

He soon parked in front of the huge Adams hotel. I stared at the hotel and shivered as I thought about the short time I spent with Mr Parker

“ Are you all alright?”. Damon asked

“ I am fine”.i replied forcing a fake smile

He got out of the car and quickly rushed to help me open the car door

“Why did you open the door for me?”. I asked him

“ you are my date”. He replied

He took my hands into his and held it tightly and immediately the reporters rushed towards us

“ who is the lady with you Mr Adams?”a woman asked

“ how do you feel being the ceo of Adams corporate at a young age”. Another asked

Damon ignored all of them as we walked inside

“ i really need to make use of bodyguard”. he muttered

I felt all eyes on us as we walked in

“ Come this way sir”. a lady ushered us, I looked at her and immediately looked away when I recognised her as the painted Barbie receptionist

“ ma’am you look very familiar”. She said smiling at me, have we met before?”

“ No”. I lied

“ but…………

“ can you just let me be?”. I yelled at her

“ I am sorry ma’am”. She apologised and immediately backed off

I looked at Damon and met his gaze, it was a blank gaze

.

.

I stared in awe as we got into the hall, it was really grand, spacious and beautiful

We were ushered to the vip section and I gasped in surprise when I saw the president and some important persons in the country present

“Are you alright?”. Damon asked as we sat down

“ sure”. I nodded

I saw Tonia walked in with her parent and she gave me an evil glare when her gaze met mine

“ b—h”. I muttered

.

.

.

I watched Damon gave his speech brilliantly

“ is this same guy who kissed me”. I thought staring at him proudly

.

“ Thanks to my dad and my friends that stayed by me despite odd times”, Thanks to my late mum that made me who I am today, Thanks to Petra for holding my hands when I was down, Thanks to Zara a little kid that gave me words of encouragement just this morning “.he paused and looked at me and Thanks to a special friend of mine that made me see reasons to move on when I met her “.he said appreciating and the whole guest clapped

“I promise to do my best and make Adams corporate expand to the whole world, Thank you”. He said with a bow

.

.

“ you did great”. I whispered to him as he sat down beside me

“ Thanks” he muttered squeezing my hands

I watched and smiled as most of the guest came over to greet him and gasped in shock when I saw a familiar face. Mr Parker

“ Congratulations Damon”. he greeted

“ Thanks Parker”. Damon said staring at me

Why is he staring at me”. I thought

Mr Parker looked at me and smiled

“ Helo Nora”. he greeted, it has been long

“ yes em re tr Parker”. I stammered

“See you later”. he said to Damon and flashed me a smile before leaving.

“ do you know him?”. Damon asked gazing intently at me

“Not really”. I replied

“Really, but he seems to know you well”. he said

“ yes, em er he is kind of a stranger”.i replied

“ A stranger that paid your fees”. He said

“ what!!!!”. I exclaimed in shock

he looked around to make sure no one was eavesdropping

“Did he f–k You?”. he asked

“ Damon”. I called with tears flowing down my eyes

“Did he f–k You?”. he asked again calmly

“ I don’t know what you are talking about”. I tried acting confused

“ really?”. he asked

I nodded

“D–n you and your lies”. He cursed and left the hall in anger

“ Damon”. I called but it was already late………

Damon POV

.

.

I rushed outside in anger , I bit my lips trying to control the pain

I felt betrayed.

“ she even lied when the truth was in front of her “

I held my heart because it was hurting

“ Nora what did you do to me”. I yelled and suddenly stopped when I heard someone called me name

I turned to look back and gasp in shock

“ Annabella”. I called

“ Damon”. She called back

“What the hell is going on here?”……..
