Chapter 50
Damon fished his phone out of his pocket and starts to type a message. He glanced at Hestia and smiled when his sweetheart avoided his eyes. When he received a reply, he quickly read it. The message said that it was his cousin's lackey who was following them.
Damon scowled and he tightly gripped his phone. 'His cousin is such a fool to fight against him.' He evilly smiled. He again typed a message and pressed the send b.u.t.ton. 'Let's see what you can do dear cousin. No one can ever be my rival.'
Hestia observed Damon through the corners of her eye. She saw him scowl when he read a text message then he smiled. She s.h.i.+vered when he saw how evil it was, whoever made Damon smile like that have her condolences. The chilling atmosphere inside the car vanished when Hestia held his hand.
"Is something wrong?"
Damon melted when he saw how concerned Hestia was. "No need to worry sweetheart, there's just a minor problem at the company."
Hestia still look skeptical. "Are you sure?"
Damon nod his head. He then pulled Hestia close to him and kissed her forehead.
Hestia sighed. "Why don't you dropped me first at the apartment and you go handle the problem." She doesn't want to take Damon's working time because she knew that he carries a huge responsibilty on his shoulder.
"I'll dropped you off once I put a ring on your finger."
Hestia's eyes bulged out. "Are you serious?" She thought Damon was just teasing her.
Damon took a small box out of his suit jacket. "I've been carrying this ring since we landed on the island and I planned to propose to you right after my parents anniversary but that d.a.m.n cousin of mine ruined it all." His eyes darkened when he remembered how arrogant his insolent cousin was at the party.
Hestia covered her mouth with her hand, she was too overwhelmed by her emotions. She looked at Damon with unshed tears. "But it wasn't even a month when we met."
Damon softly caressed her cheek. "It doesn't matter if we only knew each other for a week or longer because we have our lifetime to spend knowing each other and I can't wait no more to start our lives together with our son Ichigo."
"Will you marry me Hestia Tharros and be mine forever?"
"Yes! Yes!" Hestia happily hugged Damon who felt extremely relieved and happy.
"Thank you sweetheart." Damon hugged Hestia tightly and buried his head at the crook of Hestia's neck.
Hestia shaked her head. "No Damon, thank you for loving me and my son!" They looked at each other's eyes and Hestia gently pulled Damon for a kiss. Damon was surprised because it was the first time that Hestia initiated a kiss. The kiss was slow and sweet. The kiss was so pure that ypu can almost hear angels sing. Hestia gave her all in that kiss and Damon accepted all of her feelings. They were catching their breaths when the kiss ended.
Hestia shyly smiled and wiped some of the lip gloss on Damon's lips.
Damon grinned and leaned his head for another kiss but then they heard someone cough. Damon glared at
"Sorry to interrupt but we've arrived."
Hestia blushed. 'How can they forget about Elliot?'
Damon smooths his hair and fixed his suit. He opened the door and stepped out like a king.
"What took you so long?!" A booming voice greeted Damon.
"Traffic." Damon said, he then carefully a.s.sisted Hestia out of the car.
Hestia looked at the woman beside Elliot.
The said woman snorted when she saw how Damon delicately treats Hestia. "Honey will the world end soon? Look at your friend acting all mushy, this must be a sign that the end is near!"
Elliot laughed at how comical his wife was acting.
"Shut it Midget." Damon squint his eyes at Elliot's wife if she wasn't pregnant he'll flick her head hard.
Ebony pouts her pinkish lips. "Honey, go teach your boss a lesson!"
Elliot scratched his forehead. "Do you want your honey to be beaten? Please honey have mercy on me."
"No honey! I won't let Damon beat your handsome face only I can do that to you."
Hestia giggled at how cute the couple were.
Ebony looked at the woman who Damon fell in love with. She circled her like a meat inspector.
Hestia felt a bit embarra.s.sed and awkward at how Ebony stares at her whole body.
"Stop it midget. You're scaring my wife." Damon pulled Hestia behind his back.
"Hmph! I'm just checking her out to see if the dress I brought fit her perfectly."
Damon crossed his hand over his chest. "Any clothe will be perfect for my sweetheart."
"Yeah, yeah! I heard you lover boy." Ebony then pulled Hestia's hand towards the City Hall.
Damon quickly followed. "Where are you taking Hestia."
Ebony abruptly stopped. "Duh! Of course to make your wife beautiful for her shot gun wedding."
"Umm.. I wasn't forced to marry Damon." Hestia defended Damon.
Ebony looked shocked. "Are you sure darling? He didn't force you to sign any contract because his family needed an heir or because his inheritance is in jeopardy, right?"
Hestia shaked her head.
Damon ma.s.saged his temple. "You read too much novels."
Ebony made a peace sign.
"I'll let you off this time because this is my day so be glad." Damon's daunting voice made Ebony gulped. She unconsciously caressed her neck.
"Damon don't be mad, we should thank-" Hestia smiled at Ebony.
" Ebony." Ebony smiled. She was grateful that Hestia can tame the dragon.
"We should thank Ebony for bringing a dress in such a short notice specially in her condition."
"That's right Damon, listen to your wife." Ebony hid behind Hestia when Damon glared at her.
Damon looked at Hestia and sighed. "Thanks mid- Ebony."
Hestia kissed Damon's cheek. "Thanks hubby!"
Damon looked at Hestia with wide eyes. "What did you just called me?"
"Hubby, don't you like it?" Hestia was not sure if Damon wanted to be called in such a way.
Damon smiled widely, it was almost on the goofy side. "Call me hubby from now on!"
Hestia giggled.
Ebony rolled her eyes. 'This two love birds is making her a diabetic. "Okay lovebirds that's enough. Hestia come on let us go, I'm excited to do my magic on you!" Ebony excitedly entered a room which was actually an office but it was temporarily emptied for Hestia to use as a changing room.
Elliot approached Damon after parking the car.
"Boss your order has been done, they will bring them after you tie the knot."
Damon smirked. "Good." They then went to the wedding hall.
Ebony can't helped but stare at Hestia's beautiful face. She was immune at seeing gorgeous and beautiful people because of her work as a famous designer but Hestia's beauty is on another level. At first sight you may think that she's just average looking but the longer you stare at her the more you appreciate her simplistic beauty. Her beauty makes you want to just look at her all day for the rest of your life. Hestia's aura also adds to her charm. Her warm and elegant air gives everyone a fuzzy warm feeling. It was like your being cared by a loving mother hen.
"Ebony can we start already?" Hestia fidgets at her seat. Her nerves started to kick in. 'Is this what they call wedding jitters?'
Ebony awoke from her trance. "Oh yes! Umm Hestia can you model for one of my dress? You're the perfect match for my master piece." Her eyes glimmer with so much excitement. She was worried that no one can bring the beauty of her master piece but now she knew Hestia can pull it off. Ebony have found the right owner of her most beloved work.
"Are you sure?" Hestia hesitated. She was not confident enough to wear any works of Ebony who was declared by many as a genius in the fas.h.i.+on world.
"I'm gazillion times sure about my offer. Only you can wear my beloved work!"
Hestia blushed. "But I don't think I can pull it off."
Ebony pats Hestia's shoulder. "Don't doubt your beauty. Just think about it, you bewitched Damon with your G.o.ddess look. Damon and I are immuned at seeing gorgeous and beautiful women but you stand out above the rest. Damon is so gaga over you so please don't belittle yourself."
Hestia gratefully accepted Ebony's encouragement. "If you think I'm good enough then I'll glady accept your offer."
"Your more than enough darling!" Ebony smiled widely. "Now let us make Damon crazy in love with you!"
Hestia chuckled and she let Ebony do her magic.
