She has the most beautiful blue eyes.
Behind those beautiful eyes lay secrets deeper and darker than the mysterious sea.
Some secrets are better left hidden.
The question you need to ask here… does two wrongs make a right.
There used to be a big international company that sold off-the-shelf software. During a very bad economic recession stocks dropped and they lost a lot of money. Not being able to stand the pressure anymore, they decided to sell. They were approached by a potential buyer that told them their company was worth nearly nothing, so they sold it for mere thousands.
The very next week they were approached by another potential buyer that told them they are worth millions. He even went as far and showed them the article in a business magazine. The buyer whom they sold to made headlines for scooping up this company for nearly nothing.
The company was Davis International, the company that Skye’s parents owned. The buyer… my father… today it is Hamilton Enterprises.
I have just asked Skye what happened to her parents but of course I know, I guess I would just like if it came from her. What do I do if she lies, well let’s see.
Skye ~”Well you know that company that they owned.”
Damon ~”Yes Davis International.”
Skye ~”Yes.”
She tells me exactly the same story that I know about the crooked buyer that took her family for millions.
Damon ~”I am so sorry my bunny. It must have been hard for your family.”
Skye ~”My dad was never the same afterwards. It was really tough. Both of them had to go look for jobs. It’s difficult having your own company and then having to go work for someone. The money they made went straight into the house and into mine and Amber’s college fees.”
Damon ~”How did your dad take it? Did he not go after this guy?”
Of course I know he did, he phoned my father every day and my dad just shut him off. He never gave up until one day it just stopped.
Skye ~”He tried for months and months until he eventually he just gave up. First he stopped eating, then the drinking started and with the drinking came the arguments. I saw my father disappear in front of me every day.”
Damon ~”When did you and Amber leave?”
Skye ~”About a year before it all happened. We could not take it anymore, it was starting to affect Amber’s grades.”
Damon ~”What happened then?”
Skye ~”Well it depends who you ask.”
Damon ~”What do you mean?”
Skye ~”If you ask my aunt, my mom’s sister, she will tell you it was a car accident. But if you ask my dad’s sister, she will tell you it was a house fire.”
I can see it is starting to get hard for her, I hate that I am pretending that I do not know. I do not know the full story how it all ended though.
Skye ~”The thing is my dad really lost it in the end and my mom soon gave up too. They were like a train rushing to collide. They were pretty wasted the one night and then got in an argument. My mom, completely out of her mind stupid drunk went and got the gun and tried to shoot my dad. My dad tried to take it away, they got wrestling for it and it went off.”
Damon ~”Did your mom accidentally shot your father?”
Skye ~”No my father shot my mom.”
Damon ~”But where is your father then?”
Skye ~”He is in jail. The police did not want to believe him and he could not get a good lawyer to fight the case. I have not seen him in years. Me and Amber stopped going after a while, it’s just too horrible there. It is sad that he is there, it was an accident, he would never hurt my mother.”
Damon ~”Did you never try and go look for this man yourself?’
Skye ~”No, Amber and I did not know who it is.”
And this is the idea that my father has in his head. He reckons that Skye knows it is him and now she is taking her revenge out on him through me by taking my company away. Well he is sadly mistaken. I need to tell her the truth.
Damon ~”Bunny I need to tell you something.”
Skye ~”What is wrong?”
Damon ~”I know who that man is.”
Skye ~”How do you know who it is?”
Damon ~”Because I know the story, I have heard it before, in fact I have heard it a couple of times too many.”
Skye ~”Then why did you not stop me?”
Damon ~”Cause it is not my story to tell and I wanted to hear your side of it.”
Skye ~”Who is it?”
Damon ~”My father.”
Skye ~”Your….. father?! Your father did this to my family? It’s your father’s fault my mom is dead?”
Damon ~”Yes my father was that crooked man. Davis International is now Hamilton Enterprises.”
She goes absolutely dead quiet.
Damon ~”Skye?”
Skye ~”…..”
Damon ~”My bunny.”
Skye ~”…..”
She stays quiet, she does not move. Her hands are shaking and her breathing sounds erratic. She is dead quiet for the next ten minutes. Then she speaks. I am preparing myself for a full blow out.
Skye ~”How much of your dad and how much of Giselle’s fault is it? Giselle I can understand but not your father or maybe I just have the wrong impression of him.”
Damon ~”I don’t really know, like I said she told my dad she wants the company for Brody.”
Skye ~”When you met me, did you know it was me? Did you know then it was my parents who your father screwed over?”
Damon ~”No I promise you, only tonight when you said the name of the company.”
Skye ~”And your dad?.”
Damon ~”Everyone at the table only found out it is your family tonight.”
Skye ~”What did your dad say when he went into the house?”
Damon ~”He wants to talk to me.”
Skye ~”Does he think that you will tell me?”
Damon ~”No, he thinks that I would lie to you.”
Skye ~”I should be mad at you but I am not. I don’t know why I am not fighting with you. I know it’s not your fault your dad is an asshole.”
Damon ~”You are taking it a lot better than I thought you would. I thought you’d be out the door by now.”
Skye ~”Baby what is the use of getting upset and us fighting over it. Itis our parent’s that did this.”
Damon ~”What do you want to do?”
Skye ~”I want to be there when your dad speaks to you.”
Damon ~”And your dad?”
Damon ~”I at least owe him an apology.”
Skye ~”Your father does, not you. As for Giselle, she and her fake tits must fuck off.”
Damon ~”Hahaha I am glad you can joke about it because this is really fucked up.”
Skye ~”Fuck, if ever there is a thing that we were destined to meet then this is it.”
Damon ~”Are you ever going to visit your father again?”
Skye ~”I have to, he does not know that Amber is dead.”
Damon ~”Fuck Skye. When do you want to go? I will come with you.”
Skye ~”Hahaha I guess he must meet my future husband too.”
Damon ~”We are surely doing this the backwards way around.”
Skye ~”Why be normal when you can be completely fucked up.”
Damon ~”What you say we go tomorrow?”
Skye ~”Don’t you need to schedule a visit first?”
Damon ~”I will make it happen.”
Skye ~”Thanks baby.”
Damon ~”Now what do you say we go to bed, all Giselle’s whining has made me tired.”
Skye ~”God then she wants to arrange my wedding.”
Damon ~”Hahaha good luck with that.”
Skye ~Hey you supposed to help me here.”
Damon ~”Not when it comes to girl stuff.”
We both head upstairs to bed with Bella and Max following behind us.
I am up early the next morning, I make a pot of coffee, fill up my mug and head into the study to make a few calls. First I phone the warden to arrange that we can see her father today then I phone my dad.
Richard ~”Morning Damon.”
Damon ~”Morning dad.”
Richard ~”I don’t want to discuss this over the phone.”
Damon ~”It’s fine, we will come past after we have been to see her dad.”
Richard ~”Her dad?”
Damon ~”Yes her dad, the one you fucked over. And then we both are coming to hear what you want to talk about.”
Richard ~”You both?”
Damon ~”Am I mumbling or is there an echo? She knows everything, she wants to talk to you.”
Richard ~”Why the fuck did you tell her everything?”
Damon ~”I am not going to lie to my wife. I will let you know when we are on our way.”
I drop the call. Only then do I see her standing in the door.
Damon ~”Morning bunny.”
Skye ~”Hey baby. So you reckon I am your wife?”
Damon ~”Technically not on paper yet but to me yes.”
She is so goddamn beautiful just standing there in that tiny bits of lingerie. All I can think of is bending her over this table and devouring every inch of her body.
Damon ~”Come sit here by me.”
She moves around the table and come sits on my lap.
Skye ~”So what did your dad say?”
Damon ~”We will go see him after we been to your dad.”
Skye ~”Really? How did you manage to get us in?”
Damon ~”I made the warden an offer he could not refuse.”
Skye ~”Thank you baby! You are the best!”
Damon ~”Anything for you bunny.”
She throws her arms around my neck.
Skye ~”I love you so much.”
Damon ~”I love you even much more than that.”
I lower my head to hers and our lips touch. The tip of my tongue slides through her lips, past her teeth and into her mouth. Her mouth is warm and soft. My tongue stroke the insides of her cheeks. I consume her with patient hunger. The kiss is gentle, as the passion grows it turns more fiery and demanding. When we finally break apart for air, I rest my forehead against hers and whisper in her ear.
Damon ~”You are mine Mrs Chase.”
Skye ~”Well Mr Chase, let’s sort this shit out so we can get married.”
After breakfast, we have a quick shower and get ready to go.
Damon ~”Do you want to drive there and I drive back?”
Skye ~”Oh hell yes.”
She slides into the driver sear, with one push of the button, the car grumbles to life, with screeching tires we are off on a roar.
Damon ~”I think you had too much coffee.”
Skye ~”Hahaha your ass, I just love your car.”
Damon ~”I assume you know where you going?”
Skye ~”You assume correct.”
Damon ~”Then I am going to have a nap.”
Skye ~”Oh no you are not.”
Damon ~”Hahaha you get bored with your own company?”
Skye ~”No, I don’t want to hear you snore.”
Damon ~”Your ass I don’t snore.”
Skye ~”Hahaha then what is those whiney noises you make?”
Damon ~”Your imagination.”
Skye ~”Yes keep telling yourself that.”
Damon ~”Honey bunny.”
Skye ~”Really? Now? We in the middle of nowhere in the car.”
Damon ~”Hahaha no man, I don’t want sex but now that you mentioned it.”
Skye ~”Damon!”
Damon ~”What I wanted to know is why your father never appealed his case or found a better lawyer.”
Skye ~”Baby my dad had nothing, lawyers don’t do things for free. And between me and Amber we tried to but just did not have the means.”
Damon ~”But you do now.”
Skye ~”What do you mean?”
Damon ~”You own half of a multi-billion company.”
Skye ~”I can’t use your money to get my dad out of jail.”
Damon ~”It’s your half, your money, I can’t tell you what to do with it.”
Skye ~”It’s ours and we both decide what to do with it.”
Damon ~”So why don’t we try to get him out? Maybe he can even walk you down the aisle. What do you think?”
Skye ~”That would be awesome if he could but we need to speak to him first before we do anything.”
Damon ~”You know that he is going to know who I am?”
Skye ~”Yes, I can’t even tell you how he is going to react. Lucky he can’t punch you.”
Damon ~”Thanks bunny that is so reassuring.”
Skye ~”Hahaha let’s see what happens.”
It takes us about two hours’ drive to get to the prison. Skye has been quiet for the past half hour, I know she is playing it off in her head how she is going to tell her father about Amber.
We park the car but before she climbs out, I stop her.
Damon ~”Bunny, I will wait so you can tell your dad about Amber first and then I will come sit there. I will just tell the warden your dad is going to get upset, we don’t know how he will react.”
Skye ~”Thank you baby, I really appreciate it.”
We get to the entrance and is shown to the warden’s office where we tell him the situation. Skye is taken first to see him while I wait at the guard’s office.
Then all of a sudden, as clear as if he was standing next to me, do I hear Skye’s father shout and a chair goes flying against a wall. Just as soon as it happens, it goes quiet. I am now worried about Skye, after about twenty minutes she comes into the office. She runs into my arms and I hold her until her body stops shaking.
Damon ~”Is he okay?”
Skye ~”He is quiet now but you can come.”
Damon ~”Did you tell him who I am?”
Skye ~”No not yet.”
Now this is the other part that we told the warden about, that I might get punched and if I do, then they should let him punch me. I know, it’s stupid, I mean who wants to get punched but if it makes her dad feel better then he must but as long as it is only once.
We walk into the visitation area where her dad is waiting. Now his head is bowed down so he does not see me coming.
Skye ~”Daddy this is…”
Her father looks up.
Matthew ~”Damon Chase, eldest son of Richard Chase.”
Damon ~”Hi Mr Davis.”
Matthew ~”Whose idea of a sick joke is this?”
Skye ~”Daddy Damon is…”
Matthew ~”Damon is what? Here to take the last thing I have left away from me too?”
Skye ~”No daddy.”
Damon ~”Mr Davis I am nothing like my father. I am not here to takeaway anything from you.”
Matthew ~”If I recall your father said something similar to me when he took me and my family’s future away. Was a joke to him. We were little ants that he just crushed. I was at the top, I know what men like you and your father are like.”
Skye ~”Daddy Damon stood up for us against his father.”
Matthew ~”And why would he do that? Is he after your coffee shop? That is the only thing you have that means the world to you, they like taking your dreams away.”
Damon ~”Mr Davis your daughter actually owns half of Chase Enterprises, on paper.”
Matthew ~”What? Why?”
Damon ~”Because I gave it to her.”
Matthew ~”Why? I don’t understand?”
Damon ~”Mr Davis I want to marry your daughter and like I said, I am nothing like my father. I am here for Skye not for him.”
Well at least he has not punched me yet and at this stage it does not seem like he is going to.
Matthew ~”So you are here to tell me my one daughter is dead and that you want the other one.”
Damon ~”I don’t own your daughter Mr Davis, I want her to be my wife because I love her.”
Matthew ~”And if I say yes then your dead beat father walks her down the aisle.”
Skye ~”Well there is something we wanted to talk to you about daddy.”
Matthew ~”Skye, pumpkin, that man will not walk you down the aisle.”
Skye ~”Daddy I don’t want him to walk me down the aisle.”
Damon ~”Mr Davis please just hear us out.”
Skye ~”Daddy, like Damon told me on the way here, half of Chase is mine, it is my money, I can do what I want with it. Please daddy, I want to get you out of here.”
Damon ~”We can hire a new lawyer and get them to reopen the case.”
Matthew ~”Why?”
Damon ~”Cause accidents happen. Life is not fair on people that don’t deserve it. Everybody deserves to get a second chance.”
Skye ~”Daddy will you let us help you?”
