chapter 135
-Damon, honestly, we’re your friends and we want to know what’s going on. I called that girl crazy when she came into my office and told me you’d kidnapped her friend.
-her name is Olivia Turner, she’s every man’s dream woman, sweet, smiling, kind and above all with that little something that I don’t know but that attracts me so much to her. we’ve been seeing each other for a few months and after a few nights together, I offered her a job at the company as she worked at Le Bourget, I told her it belonged to a friend and that’s how I kept looking at her without ever telling her it was me.
-You’d like to say that she didn’t recognize you, but it’s weird. Does she have a problem with her eyesight?Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
-No, she has a problem with dimmed lights, so there you have it.
amazement could be read on both their faces, and who wouldn’t be amazed to hear Damon Dixon talking like that? it was like nothing they’d ever seen before, seriously, and they’d even lost their voices. they wanted to know how the whole thing had started, and above all why he’d kept it from them.
-I’d thought one night would be enough, but instead it fueled my desire to see her every night. Since she’d been at the company, I couldn’t see her anymore, so that’s why I threw this party at my place when I never did. she learned the truth the hard way and we parted in the worst way.
He was at his wits’ end and you could see how much he was suffering. Damon had never been devastated by a woman, his friends kept thinking, but they didn’t want to make that remark, since he was already in so much pain.
-You’re in love with her. Considering what a fucking man you are, I don’t think it’s simple desire that’s making you suffer like this; you’ve got this girl under your skin and you should tell her everything.
-I’m not in love and I never will be. Maybe it’s my ego that’s suffering because she’s the one who ended it and not me, it’s always a possibility you know.
It could be a possibility, as he said, but it would never have hurt him so much, so it was something else. he felt things for her even if he didn’t want to admit it.
-Do you have any idea who’s behind this?
-I threatened Martin, but I don’t think he’d have the guts.
Slumped on her sofa for only a few minutes, Olivia didn’t know what she was going to do. she’d spent days trying to forget him, but it was just impossible. it was time she admitted that she’d fallen in love with him, with her mysterious stranger, and not with Damon Dixon. it hurt so much not to know how he was, not to hear from him. she’d cut herself off from the whole world, thinking it would help, but no, it was hurting even more than it should.
She grabbed the remote control and switched on her television, turning the volume down and moving closer to it. She didn’t want anyone to know she was at home, because every time she went to see someone, she’d start crying.
all she did was flick on and off without really knowing what she was looking for; she hated the news, yet that was all that was on almost every channel. when she came to another one ready to flick on and off, she saw a photo of someone she seemed to know; Damon Dixon. she turned up the volume.
“A few hours ago, the more reputable businessman Damon Dixon was arrested for kidnapping. Olivia Turner, a young girl who worked for him, has disappeared and so far he remains the only suspect, according to the testimony of her neighbors.
Damon Dixon accused of kidnapping her, she didn’t believe it, but who could have filed a complaint against him? certainly Maggie Soyer and no one else.
