Chapter 56
Two weeks later
Erica's POV
We came back from my father's funeral, and there were lots of guest in the house. The funeral reception was held at the beach. There were so many people trooping in and out of the compound.
I was only familiar with a handful of them, most of them came through Damian. All his effort to keep private how rich he was, has been soiled.
Every news paper and magazine house has manage to uncovered more companies that is privately owned by him. They are even recommending him for presidency after his unbiased sentiment at Sophia and Cassandra's trial.
He has recruited more security guards for I and Alex, since I left the hospital. I told him I would like to go back to work after all things said and done. He is still thinking about it.
"Hi Erica or should I say ma'am?" Frank said smiling while walking towards me.
"Frank! So good to see you again" I said, smiling while giving him a warm hug.
My eyes suddenly meets Damian prying eyes, I saw him tighten his jaws and his attention divided from the person he was talking with to Frank and I. I quickly ended the hug, as a bit of laughter escaped my lips.
"Thanks for coming" I said smiling.
"Will be seeing you around" Frank said.
"You bet" I replied. As I watched him blend into the crowd.
I look to see if Damian was still standing where I had seen him earlier, but found he was gone. My eyes wondered through the crowd till I felt his hand around my waist.
"Looking for me?" he asked.
"Hmm..what was that about?" I asked teasingly
"You are giving me more reasons to fire his ass" he said
"Don't you dare" I said laughing.
“You better don't make me” he said.

Later in the evening, When Everyone had gone, and it was just me, Damian, Alex and my mum in the house. There were a few domestic staffs still cleaning up the compound.
Damian mum had also left for her orphanage, she can't seem to trust the other staffs to take care of the orphans when she is not there.
It was getting dark as I sat on a swing bench outside our beach house, watching the sea waves and currents, with the dark clouds that had rays of light flickering through.
The gentle breeze blew through my hair, making it dance to its tune. Nature can be a beautiful sight to get lost and let your emotions free.
I miss my dad a lot, he was always a great support system. He loved me regardless of all the disappointment and shame I brought to him.
My mind flashed back to how he would be the one to take care of Alex as a baby, whenever I was out with mum.
He was a loving father and will always be in my heart.
Many parents would cast their teenage daughters off as soon as they got pregnant, but my parents took me in and provided me with love.
Damian decided that my mum should move in with us with the hope that Alex keeps her on her toes, so she has no room for sad thoughts or depressions.
Alex is back to his bubbly self once more, and he seem to have taken an interest in airplanes, that is all he ever talks about these days.
"Can I join you?" Damian asked as his voice broke into my thoughts.
I looked at him and smiled while patting an empty space beside me. Damian was looking handsome in his white short and unbuttoned white shirt that was moving to the rhythm of the wind.
It's amazing how life brings a total stranger to you and that person becomes irreplaceable.
"What are you thinking about" Damian asked after seating with me for some time.
"My dad, I miss him" I said
"Yeah, I know, I only met him once but I can tell he was an amazing father" he said, pulling me close to him, so I can rest my head on his shoulder.
"Yeah, he was" I said quietly.
After which we both went silent again, as I listened quietly to the rhythm of his heartbeat.
"Erica" he called after some time gently patting my hair.
"Yes?" I answered
"I am sorry for getting married to you without your consent, and if you ever feel that..."
Shhhh... I said, putting my finger across his lips, and cutting him off from whatever he was going to say.
"I don't know of any better man I would like to spend the rest of my life with" I said looking into his eyes.
Thankful for the fact that I crushed on the sexiest man alive who also happens to have a kind and caring heart.
His wealth is just a added bonus.
"So you will marry me? He asked
"I thought we were already married" I asked looking at him. Wondering where this was heading.
"Just say yes or no, will you marry me, wait hold on?" He said as he got down on his kneels with a long box of ring that he seem to have magically brought out from nowhere.
He opened the the jewelry box and I saw five different rings with huge diamonds sparkling through the dark.
“I didn't know which one you would like, so I picked these five because they were my favorite, and they are all yours” he said
I have always wanted a diamond ring.
You know back then in my parents old house, when I was still a teenager, I always loved when I saw popular celebrities engagement rings with huge glittering stones on them.
"Will you marry me?" his tune of voice a bit serious, which made sit up to stare at him straight in the eyes.
"Yes I will marry you Damian Anderson" I said, as I lean in to kiss him, while he slipped one of the rings into my finger.
"She said yes" he screamed after which I saw my mum, Alex, Lucas Beatrice, and a little three years old girl running out from where they were hiding to join us.
Beatrice was heavily pregnant and was been assisted by Lucas, I was so happy to her after all these years.
We all had a nice dinner together that night and had little chitchats before we all went back to our rooms.

Erica POV
I had showered and slipped on a beautiful pink lingerie set Damian got for me and was waiting for him to come in but he was no where in sight.
I didn't want to sleep as I was a bit horny, no scratch that. I was sex starved, can you imagine that since I got back from the hospital, Damian haven't touched me.
He always make up excuses not to be in the room when I am getting ready for bed, and sneaks in when I am sleeping. But, if he thinks he is sneaking up on me again, he is in for a big surprise.
********
Damian's POV.
I was in my little office, doing unnecessary stuff just to get my mind off my cravings. I can't afford to have sex with Erica now, she was in coma for three months. And its just barely two weeks since she got out.
I don't want to rush her into anything that will bring her harm, the doctors had recommended that she dies not get involved in any hard job, so I most times just stay here till she is fully asleep.
I checked to see that the time is already passed twelve midnight, she should be asleep by now, I said as I walked quietly to our bed. I was still having a mini erection, when I got to inside the bed.
The room was dark as I found my way to the bed quietly so I don't wake her up.
“Sneaking up on me again Damian Anderson?" she questioned as she switched the lights on.
she was looking super hot in her lingerie that was not in any way hidden by the house coat she had on. I could feel my little man suddenly become stronger by merely seeing her looking like a super diva.
“Erica what are you doing? You should be sleeping” I said to her after she started walking towards me seductively taking off her coat.
“Trying to seduce my man” she said as she places her hands around my neck making her stand on her toes kissing me on my face.
“Wait, please hold on” I said trying not to give in to the storm of emotions she is trying to awake in me.
“What, am I not attractive enough?” She questioned, a bit of sexual frustration evidence in her voice.
“You will always be attractive to me even in a nun clothing” I said
“So why are you not touching me” she questioned.
“Because I want you to be completely alright” I said trying to convince her.
“And who says I'm not alright?” She said as her hand rested on my bulge which made me unintentionally hiss.
“Don't worry let me be in charge, I will take care of you” she said as she kneels down to take me in her mouth.
With her eyes fixed on mine she was sucking hard on my dick and I could feel all the nerves I have been trying to shut out come to life.
“Erica”
I unconsciously found myself moaning her name, and I knew I had to move things up a bit faster before I reached my peak.
I stood her up and kissed her like my world depended on it, as I toured her succulent body with my hands after which, I carried her to the bed and gently penetrated her sweet tight juicy pussy.
She moaned out of pure passion as I started bouncing my dick in and out of her, going in and out of her in a steady rhythmic flow till I had her pussy clinched around my cock.
She held on tight on me shivering as she came, with her nails slightly piercing my skin. A few seconds later, I came too, releasing all of me inside of her.
"I love you so much" I heard her say, before little rhythmic snores filled the room.
