Chapter 30

I woke up the following morning to find Damian still sleeping. as I was about getting up, I noticed there was someone standing by the door staring at us. On a closer look, I discovered it was Sophia shooting dagger stares at us.

After a while she walked out slamming the door behind her. I couldn't help think about what Sophia was capable of, especially now that she has seen Damian and I in bed together.

I should probably just start making my last wishes. Damian woke up as his hand searches the bed for me.

"Good morning." I said trying to fake a smile.

"Good morning" he replied. Using his right hand to pull me closer to himself, as he serenades me with kisses "where do u think you are going?" he asked circling my nipple with the tip of his finger.

"I have to go get ready for the party, remember?" I said trying to sound as normal as possible so he doesn't notice the building tension in my voice.

"Something is off, are you alright?" He asked bringing my face closer to himself, his eyes steadily on mine. I looked at him and all the insecurities I was having earlier just kind of disappeared. Its amazing how he makes me feel loved and protected.

"Sophia walked in moment ago and saw us together" I said. Unable to hid the fact that I was worried by Sophia presence in the house.

"Why are you scared of her?" He asked. his eyes searching mine for answers. I took a deep breath and figured it would better I just tell him about the Sophia incident, perhaps he could talk with her.

"I didn't want to tell you Damian," I said searching his eyes, to ascertain if he was ready to hear the bitter truth about his evil step sister.

"Sophia was the one that tried to kill me weeks ago" I said not really sure if I wanted to disclose that he was the reason behind her actions. He didnt look surprised, he only took in a deep breath as he spoke.

"I know, she told me." He said letting out a deep breath. I was surprised, trying to understand why he never brought up the issue.

"It was when I went to pick her up to come visit you in the hospital, that was when she told me. But don't worry, she can't hurt you anymore, OK? after the party tonight, we will talk." He said. His voice calm and reassuring.

I smiled placing a kiss on his lips as I looked into his eyes. Its amazing how a total stranger can become part of your life, and suddenly you can't seem to do without them.

"I love you" I said smiling and overwhelmed by the feelings I have when I am around him.

"I loved you first" he replied as he took over my lips with his, it felt so good. I knew this was to to get more intense if I didn't break it immediately.

" I have to good" I said as I broke free from his hold and ran into the bathroom before he could stop me.

We arrived the party a bit late, no thanks to the makeup artiste that took all the time in the whole to make myself and Beatrice glamorously beautiful. As soon as we entered the hall, heads started turning towards our direction.

Lucas came to usher us to our seat. Damian had called earlier that he will be coming a bit late which was actually one if the reason I didn't hurry up the makeup artiste. But I was hoping he should have been around by now, as I searched through the crowd to see if I could get a glimpse of him.

"He will join us soon, please don't lose your next before he comes " Lucas said teasingly. Sensing my anxiety. Beatrice started laughing and making fun of me. Just then, there were whispers and a bit of phone camera light flashes.

I turned to see Damian and Sophia walk into the hall, holding hands and smiling. Damian was looking exceptionally handsome in is all black tuxedo.

Sophia wore a beautiful white evening dress, now that's a first. It seems lady in red as suddenly turned to lady in white.

I was kinda jealous for him to be holding her hands like that.

Siblings goal, duh!

They walked over to our table, where he pulled a chair for her to sit down, after which he walked over to where I was seated, and pulled me to stand on my foot.

"You look amazing" he said as his lips took over mine. There were a few awns and wows.

"We will continue this, right after the party" he said as he help me adjust my chair for me to sit. Immediately I sat down I felt Damian's hand come to my thighs, which made me gasped.

I looked at him as he just smiled backed and continued discussing with Lucas. his hand moved further up and started teasing my clitoris with his thumb. I hissed a little, not loud enough for others to hear me. They all seem occupied with what they were doing.

I picked a sweet ball snack on the table and thrown it into my mouth. "Yes" I moaned as I felt one of his fingers inside my folds the same time.

Making everyone turn to look at me. This snack is so moist, I said pretending the balls snack were the best I have ever had, when in reality my mum balls snack taste a million times better. It was a good lie, because everyone actually believed what I said and they all giggled.

I looked at Damian as I tried pleading with him to stop, he just drew closer to my ear "consider this as a payback for been naughty the other day at the hotel when I was on phone." He said as he added another digits inside my pussy.

I started laughing, pretending whatever he was saying to my ears was too damn funny. "cum in my hands Erica" he said as he increases the pace. I found myself reaching my peak as he came closer and hugged me saying "I love you so much" he said.

holding tight on me as I tried to catch my breath.

"I love you too" I said smiling and feeling great about everything.

"You guys should get a room" Beatrice said making everyone at the table giggle.

I watched as Sophia seemed to be enjoying the night, she looked very happy and even smiled to some of my jokes.

She would a make a good sister in-law.

The now happy tiny voice in my heard said. Just then Damian phone rang, he picked his phone to answer the caller, his face turned all serious as he spoke with the caller.

When the call ended, he turned to me. "is everything OK?" I questioned wondering what the caller might have said that made him lost all his happy mood.

"I am fine, I will be back soon, OK?" He said kissing my forehead. After which, he stood up and went over to where Lucas was seated. They both spoke for a few seconds and off he went and blended into the crowd.

After some time I excused myself from those at the table with me, as I needed to use the rest room. I was told the restroom was at the other side of the hall.

I got to the ladies and was glad to find it completely empty. I looked at my now pinkish face on the mirror and hoped no one noticed what happened out there.

I put on the tap to wash my hands, thereafter, picked up a tissue towel to wipe my hand and reached for my purse to do a quick touch up on my makeup. I looked into the mirror to apply my lipstick, I saw Sophia standing by the door.

Her face was void of any emotions. Looking at her now, she looked scary, how could I have not seen this monster side of her, all this time. how did I miss this her monstrous look, same look she had when she made an attempt on my life.

I quickly round up what I was doing so I could get far away from her. She smirked and started working towards me

She started walking towards me, "what's the rush Erica?, no one is coming here till we are finished" she said. I just kept quiet and pretended not to be moved by her words, when in actual sense she was freaking the hell out of me.

My purse fell down from all the rush I was in so I bent down to pick up the spilled items. I found a little piece of metal I thought I had seen from somewhere before.

"That's not yours,its mine" Sophia said with a smirk. which made me drop the object. As soon as it hits the floor a small knife pooped out.

Sophia bent down to pick it up, I became very scared but was still trying to act all bold. I was not going to beg her for loving and been loved back.

"I heard Damian say I can't hurt you, but what failed to tell you is that, you could rot behind bars for the rest of your miserable life for hurting me."

she said looking at the knife she was holding, after which she made a cut on her hand.

"what are you doing Sophia?" I screamed as the blood started flowing from her cut.

"I'm not doing anything Erica, you are" she said with an evil grin.

"I don't understand" I said still confuse with what what going on.

"I'm begging you Erica, please don't kill me, with that she cut herself again in a different place. I rush over to her in panicked trying to take away the knife from her. She looked at me smiling.

"I have you where I wanted you to be."

she said said and before I could process what she meant. She drove the knife into her stomach as she screamed "somebody help me!!" people came in as she let go of my hand and fell on the floor.

I just stood there speechless and scared to death, blood stains all over me.

A few seconds within, sounds from police siren started buzzing from outside the hall. Cops pointing guns towards the me from all directions.

"put your hands up where we can see them"

one of the the police office said. I step aside from Sophia's unconscious body as I put up my hands.

The medical team made their way into to the restroom and few minutes later, brought out Sophia's unconscious body in a stretcher.

A female police came to put handcuffs on me, while I was still dazed by what was happening.

Maybe its a dream Erica, maybe its a dream.

I told myself as the police ushered me into the police car and drove off.
