Between two hearts

“ I'm sorry Miss but you can't go in there. Mr. Wilson is having a very important meeting” The maid called out as a silhouette walked past ignoring her completely with a straight face.

 Layla Jones was very upset about the news she heard this morning. Her stepmom had told her she was getting married to Damian Wilson in a few days and although Layla did not have a boyfriend she was not ready to get married at nineteen.

 Damian is the only son of her late dad’s friend Mr. Wilson.

 Layla has known Damian since she was a kid, Damian was older than her by six years and back then anytime Layla came around to play with Kendra, Damian’s sister, He usually hides in his room because of his body. Most kids in his school back then do call him “ fatty” Damian was a plus size back then and was always ashamed to associate with others but it all came to a halt when he traveled abroad to further his education.

Damian came back looking like a hot celebrity and his physical features were like that of a model.

 She pushed the door and froze instantly, the courage and boldness she had summoned to confront Damian seem to have left her immediately her eyes met his gaze.

Damian who lost his father two weeks ago was having a very important meeting with the board members and his lawyer in his private sitting room at home.

 He has not gotten over his father's death and was not ready to resume work either but this meeting seems to be a very important one thus he asked his board members to meet him at home.

 “ I told you, Miss, you can't come in” The maid walked up to her, and Layla’s face was covered in sweat and her cheeks were changing from different shades of pink to red at the same time.

 “ Did I not tell you I do not want any form of disturbance?” Damian asked the maid angrily, ignoring Layla who looked like a lost puppy now.

 His rich and sophisticated voice made Layla lose the little confidence she had left in her and she could only wish she never came here in the first place.

 “ I'm sorry Mr. Damian I tried to stop her but she wouldn't listen” Grace the maid replied to Damian with her head bowed to the ground and she cursed Layla for not listening to her in the first place.

 “ Get her out of my sight this instance” Damian spat coldly ignoring Layla’s presence.

 “ I'm very sorry for the rude interruption, can we continue, please” he added but this time referring to his board members.

 Layla did not move an inch even when Grace the housemaid gestured for her to, she stood still staring at Damian with disgust, “Is this the reason he acted cold when he saw her on the day of his dad’s funeral?” She asked herself in her mind.
