Chapter 15 🌹
~ Damon ~
.
She has a daughter?
She glanced at me then back at the little girl.
“honey, why did you barge in like that ” she asked.
“didn’t you know mommy was in an important meeting ” she asked and the girl glanced at me.
She studied my face for quite a while that I started to look around if anyone noticed how she was looking at me.
“I just missed you mom ” she blurted out.
“Miss Wendy, you do know this is a board room for business, not for chit-chats ” I blurted out and she rolled her eyes at me.
“can I excuse myself, Mr Prize ” she asked and John nodded.
“common honey, let’s go out” she took the little girls hand and walked out.
I can’t believe she has a daughter .
That means she remarried.
Gosh!
“so what’s your decision, Mr Saltzman ” John asked and I glared at him.
“till next week ” I blurted out.
“that’s too long, I didn’t come to NY to stay you know ” he seethed.
“then let’s end the contract since you don’t want it “I said and he sighed.
“till next week then ” he said between gritted teeth and walked out.
This is the only way I can keep Katharine in NY.
I’m gonna del@ythis contract like forever until I win Katharine back.
I don’t care if she remarried cause she’s mine.
I won’t hesitate to kill anyone who comes between us.
Katharine is my life and no one would take her from me.
I brou-ght out my phone and stared at Katharine’s ph0to that was on my phone..
She’s a beauty and she’s full of charisma.
She’s a a beauty but so unforgiving.
She finds it ha-rd to let go of the past.
I’ll have to make it up to her.
I got up and went out.
I met Katharine, Olivia, John and that little girl outside the boardroom.
Olivia saw me and she tried suppressing her smile but failed miserably cause she grinned wi-dely.
Olivia tapped the little and turned her to face me.
She pointed at me but Katharine quic-kly took the little girl from her hold.
Katherine glanced at me then back at Olivia.
She held her daughter’s hand and stormed out of the building.
Great!
I really nee-d to talk to Olivia.
John and Olivia followed Katharine out too.
I went to my office and plumped down on my couch.
.
~ Katharine ~
We stood outside the boardroom, talking.
Olivia turned Allie away from me and I heard her say.
“you see that man there ” I looked at her and noticed what she was trying to do.
I yanked Allie from her and held her to myself.
I can’t believe she wanted to tell Allie that Damon is her father.
I took Allie’s hand and stormed out of the building and they followed.
We boarded the car and drove off.
Allie ran to the balcony and Olivia and I went to my room.
“I can’t believe you ” I yelled and she sighed.
“look Kathy, I’ve never opposed your decisions before and I’m not saying I’m gonna do that but Damon deserves to know he has a daughter ” she blurted out and I rolled my eyes.
“that decision is mine to make not yours ” I stated.
“I know but you’re too busy sulking over the past that you can’t see reality ” she yelled.
OK this is the first time she has yelled at me.
“Allie has the right to know her father, regardless of what happened in the past ” she blurted out.
“I’ve always supported your every decision and I’m not saying go back to Damon but plea-se give him a chance to know his daughter at least ” she yelled and I was alre-ady getting pissed.
I turned my back on her as she continued saying non s-en-se.
She c@m£ to my front and took my hand in hers.
“Kathy I know you’re hurt and I un-derstand you, trust me. But think about Allie too, she nee-ds a father ” she said softly and wiped the tears that were alre-ady streaming down my cheeks.
She pu-ll-ed me into a hvg and gently patted my back.
“let go of the past, Kathy ” she whispered.
She dis£ngaged from the hvg and wiped my tears.
“just remember that any decisions you make, will either build up Allie’s future or ruin her future ” she said.
She turned to leave but st©pped when we saw Allie at the door.
She walked to me and hvgged my th!ghs.
“mommy, is daddy a bad person ” she asked and I glanced at Olivia.
I smiled and ca-ressed her hair.
“no honey, he isn’t ” I said and she smiled.
“so you’ll take me to go see him ” she asked and I looked up at Olivia.
She nodded at me, telling me to say yes.
“yes sweetie ” I said and she jumped up.
“Yaay mom, you’re best ” she said and turned to leave.
Alre-ady at the door, she c@m£ back and told me to squat and I did.
“thanks mom ” she pe-cked my cheek and ran out.
“you see how happy she is ” Olivia asked and I nodded.
“she was very happy ” I said.
“so will you take her to go see Damon ” Olivia asked and I put on a contemplating face.
“common ” she urged.
“yes. I won’t come between them but that doesn’t mean I’ll go back to him” I blurted out and she chuckled.
“Kathy is now so matured ” she tea-sed and I laughed.
“well, I like that you’re strong now. You aren’t even scared of the rain again ” she said and we busted out laughing.
I remembered how Olivia made me st©p my fear for rain.
She left and I freshened up.
I tidied up Allie too and we had dinner.
We all sat in the sitting room, watching a movie when John’s phone rang.
He excused himself and left the siting room.

My phone rang and I excused myself when I saw it was Damon.
I picked it up and he told me to come meet him at his house.
I went out, boarded my car and drove off to his place.
.
~ Damon ~
.
I alre-ady made a decision and I just hope John agrees.
That’s if he truly wants my company’s p@rtnersh!p.
I’ll tell him that, for us to agree to p@rtner with them, I’ll take Katharine as my PA for a month.
Don’t blame me, I just wanna spend time with Katharine.
The doorbell rang and I smiled.
I opened the door and let him in.
“sit ” I offered…. More like ordered.
“I’ve decided to p@rtner with your company ” I blurted out and his eyes lit up.
“wow, that’s good ” he said.
“but on one condition ” I said and his expression dropped.
“your secretary will be my secretary for a month ” I blurted out and he stared at me in awe.
“OK Damon, I’ve known for the first day you saw Wendy that you lvst for her and that was why you put on that show that she’s your wife ” he blurted out and I sm-irked.
“is it a deal or not ” I asked.
“to hell with this contract, I love Wendy and I’m not gonna let anyone take her from me ” he blurted out and I j£rked him up by his collar.
“Katharine’s mine, mine alone “I growled and pushed him to the ground.
“she’s my wife and I’m gonna take her back. So, Mr Prize, know your limits ” I said between gritted teeth.
“Katharine’s my wife and I won’t tolerate any one going close to her ” I said sternly.
He gave me a blunt look then left he house.
I have to get Katharine back, anyhow.
.
~ John ~
.
I drove back home, pissed off with Damon.
I can’t believe he wants to exchange Wendy with business.
I love Wendy and I won’t exchange her for anything.
To hell with this contract.
Wendy has to tell me the truth today.
There’s one thing I noticed in Damon’s eyes today, truth.
He was saying the truth.
I arrived and alighted.
I went in to meet only Wendy, pacing back and forth.
“you’re here, I was waiting for you ” she said and I nodded.
“Wendy ” I called and she looked up at me.
“are you Katharine ” I asked and she was taken aback.
She stared at me with guilt and her gaze slowly drifted off me.
She is indeed Katharine, Damon’s wife.
Her silence says it all.
“why didn’t you tell me ” I asked softly.
“I’m sorry ” she said, alre-ady in tears.
Seeing her cry weakens my soul.
“you don’t have to cry Wendy, you must have a good reason for all you did ” I said and gently cu-mpped her face.
I wiped her tears with my thumb and k!$$£d her forehead.
I hvgged her and gently ca-ressed her hair.
“ssh, it’s okay” I cooed.
Wendy or should I say Katharine, left to her room and I went to mine.
I can’t believe she’s Damon’s wife.
But she doesn’t want Damon anymore and that means I stand a chance of getting her.
I won’t let her go.
.
~ Katharine ~
.
I woke up the next day and tidied up.
Now Allie has to go to school on Monday.
I thought that idiot would finally accept our proposal but he postponed it to next week.
I can’t let Allie stay at home even if it’s for a short period of time.
I bathed her and dressed her up.
“are we leaving now ” she asked and I arched an eyebrow.
“you said you’d take me to go see dad ” she blurted out and I sighed.
“look honey, mommy’s busy so another time ” I said and her facial expression dropped.
“common honey, don’t put on a sad face, you know it breaks mommy’s heart to see you like this ” I said and she f0rç£d a smile.
“try un-derstanding mommy okay ” I said and she smiled wi-dely.
I k!$$£d her forehead and told her to go have breakfast.
I’ve changed my mind, I won’t take Allie to go see Damon.
What if he takes her away from me?
What if he demands for her custody?
No no no, I can’t let that happen.
It’s better to keep it a secret from him.
I know what he’s capable of and I don’t wanna do anything that I’ll regret later on.
I went downstairs and joined them for breakfast.
Olivia and John kept glancing at me and I know why.
John’s still surprised that I’m actually Katharine and that Damon was right.
And Olivia, she keeps glancing at me because Allie must have told her that I wasn’t taking her to see her dad.
Olivia took me aside after breakfast and I sighed, knowing well what she wants to say.
“what is wrong with you Kathy ” she yelled and I rolled my eyes.
“Olivia I can’t, what if he takes her away from me ” I asked and she sighed and hit her forehead.
“how dumb are you? He won’t do that cause he wouldn’t want to hurt you ” she blurted out and I turned away.
“you don’t know him and it’s my decision to make so no, I’m not telling Allie about him but maybe one day, I will” I said and left her.
.
~ Olivia ~
.
I nee-d to see Damon.
I brou-ght out my phone and called him.
He was surprised, I mean shocked that I called him.
I told him to come meet me at a restaurant and he obliged.
I left the house after telling Kathe I had some important things to do.
I arrived and sighed sighted Damon at the far end of the restaurant and I chuckled.
He didn’t waste any sec.
I went over to him and sat opposite him.
“who’s the father of that little girl? Is it John ” he asked and I sighed.
“I didn’t come here to answer your questions, Mr Saltzman. I c@m£ here to talk to you ” I remarked.
“do you love Kathy ” I asked.
“of course, I love her a lot” he blurted out.
“are you sure ”
“look Olivia, I know I’m not perfect and I’ve made lots of mistakes but I regret it all ” he said and he was sincere cause I could see it in his eyes.
“good! ” I commented.
“well, I just wanna tell you that you shouldn’t give up on Kathy cause she still loves you ” I said and his eyes lit up.
“really ” he asked and I nodded with a smile.
“she just finds it ha-rd to let go of the past and she’s acting stubborn ” I said an she nodded.
“but she remarried ” he blurted out.
“did she ” I asked and he arched an eyebrow.
“if she didn’t remarry then how the fv¢k did she have a daughter ” he asked and I gave him a blunt look.
He studied my expression and his eyes wi-de-ned.
“she’s my daughter ?” he asked and I shrugged.
“I don’t know, why don’t you find out yourself ” I said and left.
.
~ Damon ~
.
My head is aching from all these.
It’s possible she’s my daughter cause Katharine left 6 years ago and if I’m correct, that little girl would be 5.
And it’s also possible that she’s not my daughter cause 6 years is a very long time and anything could have happened.
I nee-d answers.
I picked up my car keys and left he restaurant.
I boarded my car and drove to John’s suite.
The gate was opened to me by a man I presumed to be the gate man.
I drove in and alighted.
I rang the doorbell and Kathy opened it for me.
She froze when she saw me.

She froze when she saw me.
“what…what are you doing here ” she asked.
I said nothing as I walked inside.
“why? Aren’t I welcomed here ” I asked, looking from Katharine to John.
“as far as I know, I have the right cause my wife leaves here ” I blurted and Katharine rolled her eyes.
Katharine’s daughter ran out but st©pped when she saw me.
She stared at me for a while as if examining me.
She c@m£ to my front and looked up at me.
“are you Damon ” she asked and I glanced at Katharine.
She held a surprise expression.
“yes ” I nodded.
She went to her mom and hvgged her.
Now that I’m looking at her, she has the same color of my hair and she has blue eyes just like me but she looks just like Katharine.
“isn’t there any special welcome ” I asked, taking a seat.
If couldn’t help but notice Katharine’s daughter’s stare.
She keeps staring at me and I wonder why.
Do I look strange?
“come here ” I said to the little girl.
She looked up at Katharine and she got the looks Kathy gave her……. Not to come to me.
“oh Katharine, loos£n up, I’m not gonna bite her ” I blurted out and went close to the little girl.
Kathy hid the little girl behind her in a protective way.
“OK Mr Saltzman, tell us why you c@m£ here and st©p being pokey ” she said and I glared at her.
“I just c@m£ to see you ” I blurted out.
“baby, go to your room ” she told the little girl.
“why should she? I wanna take her out and spend some time with her ” I said and she flared up.
“no way ” she seethed and I chuckled.
“well I am taking her out ” I insisted.
“oh common Katharine, Damon’s not gonna bite her, he just wants to take her out ” Olivia said.
“but.. ”
“no buts, just let her go ” Olivia cut her short.
She glanced at John and he gave her an approving nod.
Well John knows me quite well so, he’s telling Kathy that her daughter would be safe with me.
“what’s your name, pretty ” I asked.
“Allie ” she said in a tiny voice.
“come, I’ll take you out to have fun ” I said.
“mommy, do you want me to go? If you don’t then I won’t ” she blurted out.
Kathy smiled and ruffled her hair.
“it’s okay, go have fun ” she said with a faux smile then pe-cked her forehead.
I smiled at Allie and took her out.
We boarded the car and drove out of the suite.
“so where do you want us to go ” I asked.
“I don’t know ” she blurted out and I glanced at her.
“I mean, I don’t know cause I c@m£ to NY few days ago ” she added and I smiled.
What a smarty!
I drove to a restaurant and we alighted.
We went in and took a table.
“so what do you want ” I asked, taking the menu from her.
She took it back and gave me a blunt look.
“I can re-ad ” she blurted out as if re-ading my mind.
Wow, she’s more crazier than Katharine.
She dropped it back on the table and sighed.
“I’m not hungry so I’ll just have some vanilla ice cream ” she said and I nodded.
I ordered vanilla ice cream too and they brou-ght it for us.
“so Allie, how old are you ” I asked.
She looked at me, put a spoon full of ice cream in her mouth before replying.
“I’m 5 ” she said, not looking at me.
“OK ” I said.
“and who’s your dad ” I asked and she stared up at me.
The way she stared at me gave me goosebu-mps all over my b©dy.
“have you ever seen him ” I asked.
“Yeah and I’ve even talked to him ” she blurted out.
Great! It means I’m not her dad.
“and what’s your dad’s name ” I asked.
“that for me to know and for you to dot dot ” she blurted out and I was taken aback.
She’s more smart than I think.
I mean, which kid use those words?
“oh OK ” I said simply with a faux smile.
“are you done ” I asked and she nodded.
“OK, let’s get you home before mom worries about you ” I said and she nodded.
I ruffled her hair and got a strand from it.
It won’t hurt to run a DNA test, right?
We left the restaurant and I drove her back home.
“I’ll come another time, okay ” I said and she nodded.
I smiled at Kathy and left.
I’m one step closer to winning her back.
I went straight to the hospital and had doctor Mike do DNA test.
He’ll bring it to my house once it’s out.
I drove back home and freshened up.
I did alre-ady work at home and went to sleep.
.

.
When Damon took Allie out, I wasn’t at rest .
She c@m£ back and I couldn’t be more glad.
Damon left and I took Allie to freshen her up.
I asked how the day went and she said good.
I really have to st©p letting my past rule me.
Allie deserves to know her father.
I can’t come between them cause of my past.
She has nothing to do with it so I won’t let her suffer it.
We had dinner and went to be-d.
.
~ Olivia ~
.
I think Kathy is loos£ning up.
She even let Allie go with Damon.
She’ll soon spit out the truth.
.
~ Damon ~
.
I’m so pissed right now.
How dare Kathy hide the truth from me?
The DNA results c@m£ this morning and Allie is my daughter.
I’ve made mistakes, yeah but I regret them.
If John and Olivia hasn’t been there yesterday, then she’d not even let me take my own daughter.
I dressed up, boarded my car and drove to John’s suite.
Allie’s my daughter and I have the right to see her.
I arrived and alighted.
I rang the door bell and Olivia opened it.
“Allie’s my daughter ” I blurted out and she smiled.
“took you that long to know ” she tea-sed and I rolled my eyes.
“where’s she ” I asked.
“upstairs to your left, the second room ” she said and I nodded.
“thank God, John isn’t home ” I heard her mutter.
I went up to the room and there she was, pla-ying with Allie.
“Allie ” I called and their head snapped to me.
“you can’t take her today, we have plans ” Katharine blurted out.
“I didn’t come to take her, I c@m£ for you ” I blurted out.
“baby, go pl@yout with aunt ” she said and Allie sluggishly left the room.
I closed the door and sprung to her.
“why didn’t you tell me she’s my daughter “I asked and she was taken aback.
“what? Are you shocked that I know huh” I asked.
I was really pissed now.
I’ve been suffering for years cause she left me and she’s planning on hiding my daughter from me.
“why Huh? You think you could hide the truth forever ” I asked, moving closer to her.
The more I moved forward, the more she moved backward.
I gr@bb£d her arms and she g@sped.
She looked so scared and shaken from the way I looked.
“why didn’t you tell me ” I yelled and she flin-ched.
Tears streamed down her cheek and I let go of her arm.
I can’t bear to see her in tears.
I cursed and walked out of the room.
I went to the balcony and let out all my frustrations.
.
~ Katharine ~
.
He knows. He knows now.
What’s he gonna do next?
He’s gonna taker her away from me.
He’s gonna take me to court and…. And take her from me.
No no no.
I slumped to the ground and cried.
“mommy ” Allie called from being and I tried suppressing my tears but failed miserably.
“mommy, why are you crying ” she asked.
“Allie, just go to your room, leave ” I ordered and I heard the door slam.
.
~ Damon ~
.
I was still at the balcony, trying to calm myself.
“Damon ” I heard a tiny voice yell my name.
I turned to see Allie, coming to me with an angry face.
OK she looks scary with a face like that.
“why did you make my mom cry ” she asked.
Her hands were folded in a fist.
Did she plan on hitting me?
“she hid the truth from me ” I said in a defensive voice.
“that’s not a reason to make her cry ” she seethed.
“really ” I asked, getting fond of her.
“yes! Her tears are too expensive ” she blurted out and I chuckled.
“yes they are and I didn’t mean to make her cry but I was just upset ” I defended.
“She kept me in the dark and I’m sure she did that to you too ” I said and she nodded.
“I’m your father” I said softly.
“I know ” she blurted out and I was taken aback.
She knows?
Oh God! Kill me!
