CHAPTER NINETEEN

TAMARA

A woman was straddling Damien kissing him while he had his hand up her top or was it a gown, she was probably his secretary since she wasn't at her desk. They were so engrossed with each other that they didn't even notice I was standing there. What if it had been someone else that walked in? What if it was his grandfather that walked in? His whole perfect plan would have been ruined, not that I care if he was caught cheating.
"Excuse me, but could you two give me a minute of your time before you continue whatever this is, I have better things to do" I said and watched how the woman immediately got off him as she hurried to fix her clothes which was actually a gown not a top, seeing as how it was really short it could have passed for a top, that had ridden up and when she was finally decent she looked up to glare at me before speaking.
"Who are you and who gave you the authority to come in, didn't you see the do not disturb sign on the door" the woman asked while Damien just stood there watching me with a stupid grin on his face. Seeing as he wasn't the least bit fazed by my presence meant he was actually expecting me to walk in on them kissing, but why did he go through all this trouble? Did he think I would actually care that he was cheating on me.
"Hello Tamara, welcome, I didn't expect you to arrive so early, I would like to introduce you to Tina, my secretary. Now that you are both acquainted, Tina would you excuse us, I would like to attend to my guest" Damien said as the woman walked out of the room still glaring at me, only if she knew he was engaged and will soon be married or did she know already and just doesn't care that she us the other woman.
But seriously, out of all the women he could pick to have an affair with, he picked his secretary, his fucking secretary.
"So why did you tell me to come to your office, you could've told me what ever you wanted to say by text" I asked my gaze never leaving his, I wasn't going to be intimidated by his overwhelming presence.
"For a woman who just caught her fiancée with another woman you're quite calm Tamara" Damien said his left brow raised, I knew it he had planned all this.
"What you do with your free time is none of my business, so back to my previous question, why did you call me here?" I asked again and due to my lack of reaction his expression changed. His previous smug expression was gone and was replaced with anger, he was definitely bipolar or was he just delusional? Did he really think I would play the wife card and run out betrayed because I caught him cheating, the thought of it made me what to laugh my ass off.
"We have a dress fitting in a few days, I want you to make time out of your busy schedule" Damien said as he stood to his feet to fix his shirt and tie making emphasis on the busy schedule like I had nothing better to do than be at his beck and call.
"I don't have time and I'm not interested on going for the fitting, so if we have nothing else to talk about, can I leave?"
"What do you mean you are not going for the fitting, you have to wear a wedding dress for the wedding it's in the contract"
"I know but I'm wearing one I designed myself you need not spend money on some million dollar gown that I don't even want to wear" I shrugged causing his eyes to darken.
"Must you fight me on everything I tell you to do Tamara,why can't you just be obedient?" Damien said, running his hand through his hair in frustration.
"It wasn't stated in the contract that you were going to choose what I wear for the wedding, it just said I had to wear a wedding gown"
"We are getting you a dress and that is final"
"Mr Kingston, you really don't get it do you, I want nothing to do with you or your money, I can afford to make my own wedding dress," I said in frustration, why can't he just let it go, I'm tired and not in the mood to fight with him.
"I doubt you can afford anything with the money you make off designing clothes, Miss Sanders," Damien scoffed as he approached me, his gaze fixed on me daring me to go against him once again but I will not be intimidated by him I already have one sexist asshole in my life I don't need another one.
"What I make is enough and I'm proud of what I do, no matter how you try to intimidate me I'm still not getting the dress you want, so spend that money on something else, maybe on your mistress Tina, I'm sure she would love a new gown"
"What would people think If I allowed you wear trash to the wedding, my mother would definitely have my head, my reputation would be ridiculed"
"First my designs are not trash and second You really think you have a say in what I do and do not do Mr Kingston, let me just make it clear, you don't and once again i don't care for your reputation and I'm sure your mother would understand that I wanted to wear something I design to my own wedding even if its a sham, she is not has material like you"
"You met my mother once and you think you know her better than her own son" Damien said he now a feet away from me his eyes burning with rage, he was to close for comfort and is scaring me but I don't show my fear.
"Whatever, I have better things to do and I have someone waiting for me, so it's best I live now" I said taking a step back to widen the distance between us.
"Who might this person be?, that is more important than your fiancé, more important than the man that has your family's company in his hands" Damien threatened.
"You are resulting to threats now, Mr Kingston how typical of you, let me tell you something, you don't scare me,"
"Who is this person that is waiting for you Tamara, is it that boy you call your friend or the cop I met the other day"
"Whoever is waiting for me is none of your damn business Mr Kingston," I said, my voice slightly raised shocking him, "if we are done here I'm leaving" I announced and when I was about to open his office door, he close the gap between us and slammed the slightly opened door shut pushing me against it.
"I asked you a question, who are you meeting Tamara, I swear if it's any of those men you won't like the consequences"
"So you get to see other people but I don't, isn't that you being an hypocrite Mr Kingston, this isn't a real marriage after all, I'm nothing to you so back off while I'm asking nicely" I didn't know why I was insinuating that I was seeing other men, but seeing him like this made me feel something but I couldn’t say what this feeling was.
"You belong to me and no man can have you" Damien yelled in anger, you could tell he was pissed.
"I belong to no one now let me go Mr Kingston" I said, pushing him off and my hand connected with his face immediately when I was free of his hold, "this is the last time I will repeat this, never touch me like that again Mr Kingston" I said running out the door before he could react to the slap I had given him.
When I was finally out of the Kingston building, I was able to calm my nerves, I wasn't even cheating on him I just implied that I was and he got that angry, what would he have done to retaliate?, Would he have hit me if I stayed longer?.
I hailed a taxi and got in after giving him the address to my home. He was off. I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't notice the car had come to a stop, I paid the driver and got out of the car and headed for the house.
Instead of Delia, my father was the one who opened the door and he wasn't happy. Did I do anything to piss him off or did Damien call him and tell him what had happened between us a few minutes ago?
"Hello father" I greeted as he moved out of the way for me to walk in.
"What did you tell Mr Kingston?" my father asked.
"Tell Mr Kingston, father I'm confused, I didn't tell him anything, we just talked about my wedding dress that's all"
"So why was he insisting that you move into his house by the end of the week"
"He said what!" I asked again hoping that I had heard wrong.
