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 playing 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 the last 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 could come 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 will come 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 already late. 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 started compiling my CV on the laptop. If everything works out fine after speaking with Damian then I have to also plead with him to employ Sonia in the company. 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 to compile the CV and other requirements. I needed to take a break. I have been so stressed lately. 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 splashing soapy water, and her angelic voice was filled with laughter, 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 formula. 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 dinette, 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 available so I waved off the thought.
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 declared
” c’mon say it ”
I tried my best to avoid his burning gaze because looking at those beautiful green eyes and those long lashes 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 to come out so we could talk about the so-called important discussion. I wasn’t expecting her to come out of the lavatory looking so alluring. The way her towel was hanging loosely on her body and her cleavage was on display, 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 it comes 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 place in my heart.
I watched her come 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.
“Explain 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 are competent 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 my lawfully 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 accept 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.
