THE CEO WHO SAVED ME by Becca

CHAPTER TEN.

Like it is said, no matter how we try to run away from our past, it always comes to haunt us. This is exactly what is happening to Amy, day after day, the past comes back to haunt her.båven to live with the scar for two years was something she didn't know she could do and now she is ready to take a new step in Life and put everything back to place. If Kathleen and her daughters loved playing games, then she was the queen.

"What are you thinking about?" Damian asked, he noticed she spaced out while having breakfast and he was worried.

"Will you be back early today?" She asked, purposely ignoring his question.

"Yes, why?".

"I have something to tell you when you get back," she replied, sounding more distant than usual.

"Okay then" he replied, after a while, je kissed her goodbye and headed for work. Alot was bothering him too because of the information Rubby found out, about her and her past lover. He wanted to ask her but because she didn't bring it up, he felt he should keep it to himself a bit longer. "If only she can trust me" he muttered under his breath as he massaged his forehead.

"Don't be nervous Amy, it's just to tell him. If he doesn't accept you then you can just move on "she tried to console herself as the clock ticked, Damian would be home soon and she had to tell him everything. Still deep in thought, sitting alone in the garden, it was not until she heard her name that she noticed he was around.

"When did you come?" She asked.

"I have been sitting here for close to ten minutes and you didn't notice me, what are you thinking about Amy?".

"Damian", she started slowly," I want to tell you something and I need you to listen to me before you say anything please".

"Okay am all ears".

"You have really helped me all in these two years together, right from taking care of me during my hospital days and letting me stay in your house, and even with my therapy to be able to walk again.i really appreciate everything you have done for me Damian".

He could feel her voice already cracking and he knew she was about to say something that hurt her. Part of him wanted to just stop her from talking and hug her but he really wanted to know what she was going to say." Damian, on that day at the cliff, I didn't fall" she finally said, something she has been keeping for two years, she finally said it. "What?, then what happened?" He was truly surprised to hear it. This information that he couldn't get his hands on no matter how he tried,

She closed her eyes and cleared her throat. Opening it, she began to narrate everything that happened to him, right from the issue of Delvin to her family. She didn't leave any detail

behind and when she was done, her face was wet with tears. Tears of pain and agony that has been embedded in her heart for so long "So this is what you have been hiding from me?" He asked. He could see pain in her eyes and he drew her to a hug. The betrayal was too much for her to bear, the betrayal of her fiance and her family was just too much. "I am really sorry that you had to face all this Amy,I really am". The look on his face then was deadly. He wanted to get his hands on those people and make them suffer for what they did to her.

"Let's get married Amy" he finally spoke up, after several minutes.

"What?" She asked in an alarmed tone.

"Let's get married," he replied again.

She scoffed, "I know my situation is pitiful Damian, but don't do this out of pity okay". "Am not kidding Amy, let's get married, you want to take revenge on all of them right?, Let's do it together. Even if this didn't happen, I would have still asked you to marry me, so let's do it now".

She wanted to reply but there was a look of uncertainty in her eyes. What Delvin did to her was still evident but she knew Damian was not like that but feelings are feelings. "There is no need to rush things Damian......."

He interrupted her," from now on Amy, I will not let anyone bully you. No matter who it is, I will crush them to pieces. Who dares to bully you, I will make all of them pay". The aura around him was not pleasant at all and she had to shift a little farther away from him, at this point, he was like a ticking time bomb ready to explode anytime.

"You don't need to get involved, I can handle them myself". She really didn't want him to get entangled in her situation.

"Look Amy, anything that is your problem is mine and any decision you make, I will surely support you and I will make sure all of them pay for what they did to you, I promise".

She finally let the tears out, this was the only man that understood her in this whole wide world. The only man ready to throw everything away just for her, the man she loved with the whole of her being "Thank you Damian, thank you so much for all you do for me" she replied amidst sobs.

"I will do anything for you baby, let's just get married and you will see what I will do Amy, you will see" he muttered under his breath, but loud enough for her to hear. This couple perfectly understood each other, they both understood the words that their hearts were saying to each other. The coming days were going to be different. She climbed out of the car, it was the day of their wedding. Damian had asked her to meet him at the marriage bureau office so they could just get a certificate and have a party later. Dressed in a pair of white flay skirt and top which was neatly tucked in, her hair was tied in a high ponytail and her make up was just simple yet alluring. Her whole being was screaming elegance. "Ready?" He asked as she walked up to him. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

"Yes" she answered and smiled. They both walked into the office with Rubby as their witness, and an hour later, they were out of the bureau office with the marriage certificate in their hands. They were finally married.

She was feeling nervous at first but seeing the certificate in her hands and the man standing beside her, the nervousness was replaced with immense joy.

"Congratulations boss" Rubby chipped in happily, at least now he would be free from him for a while.

"Are you happy? He asked, looking at her and he could see the smile on her face, that was the answer he needed.

"I am happy," she replied.

"I have a surprise for you," he said with a hint of mischief in his eyes.

"Where is it?" She asked.

"You have to wait to get it", turning towards Rubby, he had a serious look on his face," no one must know I got married today Rubby". Yes boss".

"We will be off now" saying that, he grabbed her hand and they made their way to the latest version of the Ferrari car packed a few meters away. "Enjoy your honeymoon boss" Rubby called after them and she blushed.

"Where are we going?" She asked, after securing her belt, he ignited the engine and zoomed

off.

"You might want to take a nap, wife, it's a long journey".

"Wife" she thought deep within herself. She loved the sound of that. Unconsciously she smiled which didn't escape his eyes. "Why are you smiling, wife?" He asked.

"Why are you suddenly calling me wife?" She asked, looking away. She didn't want him to see the color on her face and how the name affected her.

"We are married now so it's okay if I call you that, now rest, I will wake you up when we get there". She nodded and closed her eyes. If only she knew the surprise awaiting her.
