Chapter 29 – Nadine’s Case File
I woke up to the loud ringing tone of my phone and I groaned, rubbing my eyes.
“Make it stop!” I mumbled in Damon’s arms.
Damon grabbed the phone and mumbled into it, “She’s asleep.”
“Damon Sterling, you will put my daughter on the phone right now!” the loud voice of my father sounded over the receiver.
My eyes shot open as I jumped from the bed and grabbed the phone from Damon who was now fully awake.
“Daddy, hi,” I said immediately.
“Lilian, where the hell have you been for two days?!” he snapped.
I froze, “Wait… two days?”
“Yes, two days!” my father snapped again.
My mind went back immediately as I recalled waking up this afternoon in Damon’s arms and then we ended up eating, going through Nadine’s files, plotting, and having sex, then falling asleep.
‘Lily?” my father’s voice snapped me back to reality.
‘Dad, I wasn’t gone for two days. I just didn’t come home last night,” I stated.
‘Then you forgot to call to say you’re sleeping over at Damon’s house and staying till tonight,” my mother’s voice sounded over the phone.
‘I’m sorry, Mom, we’ve been busy,” I said, blushing.
‘Was it good?” my mom asked.
‘Mom!”
‘Caro!”
My father and I yelled simultaneously.
‘What? I’m just curious,” my mother innocently answered.
stared at the time and groaned, “Mom, I’ve got to go. We’re crashing a party, I’ll see you soon. Bye dad, love you guys.”
‘Love you, Princess, be careful,” they said and hung up.
I turned to stare at Damon who was staring at me like I was a snack.
“So, was it good?” he asked me with a smirk.
I blushed furiously, “I don’t know, Mr. Sterling, maybe I need a little reminder.”
“With pleasure, Princess,” Damon smirked.
I giggled as he carried me into the bathroom and we went another round before taking our bath.
When we came out of the bathroom we were squeaky clean. I realized one little problem.
“I have nothing to wear,” I groaned.
“I took the liberty of getting you a dress earlier today,” Damon said.
I smiled as he handed me the package. I opened it and saw a stunning pink dress. I wore it and the dress flowed out at the bottom like a ballgown. It was stunning.
“I love it,” I smiled.
“I knew you would,” he grinned.
Damon dressed up in black pants and a chiffon shirt. He grabbed the file and held my hands. “Let’s go end this, Princess.”
As we stepped out, Grandpa was in the sitting room. He snorted when he saw us.
“Boy, you locked her up for twenty-four hours. What’s going to happen on your honeymoon night?
I vote for staying indoors for a week, I need a little great-grandson running around this house,” Grandpa said.
My cheeks reddened and Damon groaned.
“Do you ever stop, Grandpa?” he groaned.
Grandpa smirked, “Nope, and neither do you.”
This got me laughing as we entered the elevator. Damon led me to his car and we drove off. We arrived at Nadine’s family house and it was buzzing with life.
There were fairy lights everywhere on the porch. Guests trooped in and out of the house, holding champagne. Soft music blasted from the speaker upstairs.
“Are you ready?” Damon asked me and I nodded.
The police had already arrived and were outside waiting for our signal.
We marched inside the house but were stopped by security who asked us for an invite.
We didn’t have one but they had sent an invite to Damon Sterling, hottest bachelor and CEO of Sterling Corporation and they didn’t know he was the one so Damon presented it.
We got in easier but were immediately spotted by Nadine whose eyes widened in shock to see us together.
She marched over to us, her eyes shining with anger..
“What the fuck are you both low lives doing here?” she snapped.
“We have an invite. Damon was invited, I’m his plus one,” I grinned.
“You have some nerve after the shit you pulled at the boutique. This is my house. I didn’t know you were now comfortable eating my leftovers. You’re dating Damon, the stalker guy who was obsessed with me and tried to rape me? I expected better from you, Lily,” Nadine sneered. “Now, Nadine, we both know the rape story is a cuckold tale. You lied,” I said.
She smirked, “Even so no one here will believe you. He’s a man and I’m just an innocent woman who he once tried to rape.”
“Oh darling, your evil will die here with you today,” I said.
Damon remained silent at my side, his hands firmly wrapped around my waist. “Security, throw this trash out, they don’t have an invite!” she yelled, attracting attention. Her family gathered and other people including Jacob and Peter who were glaring at me.
The security arrived ready to escort us out when Damon finally spoke.
“Hold on, we have an invite,” he said, handing them the invitation.
Everyone gasped as he brought out the gold-plated invitation.
“There was only one invitation card like this and it was specially made for the CEO of Sterling Corporation,” Nadine’s grandfather said.
Damon smirked, “Damon Sterling, CEO of Sterling Corporation, I wish I could say it’s a pleasure but I bring sad news which my fiancee would share with you now.”
Everyone’s mouth hung open in shock including Nadine who looked like she was about to speak but I cut her short.
“Nadine is a criminal. She orchestrated an attack to kill me, kidnap me, had me stabbed and shoved out of a moving car. But that wasn’t all, she kidnapped an innocent woman and a young girl. Forced a doctor to perform an IVF on the kidnapped woman, got her pregnant and stole her child when she gave birth and claimed to be the baby’s mother!” I dropped the bomb.
The crowd went silent with shock as Nadine burst into delirious laughter.
“You’re crazy making things up to ruin my name and my family,” Nadine snapped.
“You think because you’ve ruined Jacob’s company you can do the same to us?” her fathe yelled.
“Yeah, where is your proof?” her mother demanded.
I grinned, “I’m glad you’ve asked for proof.”
The doors opened as the crowd parted to see a man, a woman, and a young girl walking toward
Us.
Nadine stumbled back, her eyes wide with horror.
“No… no… how did you… No, this can’t be.”
