HIS DESIRE

DAMIEN

Damien Stood gallantly, staring at his reflection from the mirror. Dressed in black suit and pants.

He admired his handsome features but one thing was missing. He has lost his smiling face.

He had lost that one for a long time now. That incident, that happened, some years back is like a yesterday to him. He still had that memory in his brains. Memory of when he lost Ella. Ella was supposed to become his wife if she hadn't died. They would have been together by now, as he promised her, little did he know that she already had stage 4 cancer. She hid this from him for a very long time until she was at the brink of death. Damien loved Ella all this while even if he was still very young, He vowed to love her till the end. Then, They were young lovers, even his father the Coastal city King liked the fact that he was in love with the woman of his choice. Everyone admired Ella. They wanted to be like her. She was an artiste. A popular one infact. She was the first young artiste to become popular at the age of 19. Everyone marked her records. Her album was a blast. He always feels that she sings in way that captures the heart. Through her, He was lured into the music world as a sponsor because he was wealthy. A very wealthy one. The Royal families in Coastal city including his brothers are not excluded. Apart from being a Royal, He is an entrepreneur. He is the owner of DACO ENTERPRISES.

DACO has been in existence since he was 20 years old. He wanted make his father proud. And that he wasn't useless at all. Well, he achieved that.

He had to live in this city because of the feelings he had for Ella is lingering this place. He has stayed away from home for a long that he wasn't aware his father died recently. May his soul rest in perfect peace, He shrugged his shoulders.

Now he have to go back home. He is to become the new king of Coastal city in few days. He have to drop every past memories of this city here. But She'll forever be his heart. He sighed softly, and left the room.

His house keeper, Jake, took his suitcase and followed his boss behind.

"Heard from Adrian?"

"He told me he had something urgent to attend to

Adrian was his closet friend and business partner. He was the only one that he can trust for the main time, because he has faced a lot of break down from his family. Adrian stood by him all through.

His family conflicts his another thing that made him stay away from home. His brothers, step-brothers , hate him to the ground. He cared less about what they feel about him. Right now he has a huge task to attend to. And that's taking his father's place. Adrian agreed to be with him all the way down to Coastal city,and also manage the business at the same time. He is very grateful for that.

Jake opened the door of the car and Damien entered. He close the door of the car and bowed, while the car drive away in full speed.

"Thank you" Ariel said to the customer that left the store in a hurry. She worked as a shop attendant in the afternoons. Most of the time, she has freedom to do whatever she wants because the owner of the shop isn't always around to scold her like Mrs Rachel, their restaurant boss.

She played the song she created with Chelsea on her phone. Thanks to Justin, he helped them get a popular Producer to assist them. She'd thought that Justin was like other Music producers that want to lay with them before anything. She was so grateful for his assistance. It was more than a Thank you he should've received from them.

She believed that this time their music will hit the top.

A message notification popped up on her phone. It was Chelsea.

"Justin told us to meet him by 5pm. He has a little surprise for us."

Hearts studio.

Chelsea ♥️

She prayed it was all for good.

When it's was 5, she locked the shop and left for the studio where, Chelsea had described for her in the text.

Hearts. Hearts ...

"Ariel" Chelsea waved at her happily "Over here!"

" Yo! Girl. What's up?"

"A lot babe" she beamed. "Guess what?"

" I can't and you know" Ariel shook her head. They entered the building of Hearts studio. Chelsea stood in front of Ariel blocking her path. "Tristan!" She whispered in her ear.

"Tristan?"

Chelsea nodded. "He's interested in our song. He's here with Justin. He'd like to meet us. Let's go" She dragged her along with her.

Ariel was too shocked to reply. Tristan?. He was a popular Rapper that everyone knows in this country!. Saying he's interested in their song like a child's play or a joke!!!.

True to Chelsea's words, Tristan was right here listening to their song with their music producer.

"Chels?" Justin called. Chelsea went to meet him.

" What did Tristan say?" She whisper loudly

Justin gave them a thumbs up in reply.

"Chelsea?" Ariel pouted her lips "Pinch me"

"Wake up girl"

"You both did a nice job. It was so perfect that I couldn't reject Tristan's offer to features with you both" Justin told them. " He really liked it"

" Thanks a lot Justin" Ariel bowed. "I'm sorry for disregarding you in the first place."

" I understand you Ariel." He said to her. " I knew you both had a great talent that's why I decided to help."

" Thanks, ,once again" Ariel held his hand in gratitude.

Chelsea hugged Ariel from behind. The giggled in excitement.

Tristan called Justin to attention. He whispered something to him and Justin nodded in agreement.

"Ariel?, Chelsea?" He called. " Are you ready for business?" He smiled at them. They nodded at the same time returning his smile....
