sex-me boss.

-What did you want to tell me, Damon?

-I understand what you’re feeling right now because I’d feel the same way if someone tried to separate me from Olivia, so I’m sorry and I promise you that from now on, I won’t do anything to separate you from him. But my relationship with him will take longer because it’s still difficult, but I promise you I’ll make an effort.

Yolanda looked at her son with tears in her eyes. She hadn’t expected him to apologize at all, and if there was one thing she was sure of, it was that the apology hadn’t come directly from her son. Damon was a very rancorous person to dare apologize when he didn’t hold Richard in his heart.

-Why are you doing this Damon because I’m not fooled, I know it’s not coming from you, unless you’re just trying to fool me.

He couldn’t let this plan go wrong or he’d disappoint Olivia, so he had to make his mother believe that this was what he wanted, even if it wasn’t coming from him. He had to let her trust him, even if just for once.

-I know, Mom, and you’re absolutely right, I can’t wake up one morning and tell you that everything’s fine when in reality it’s not fine at all, but I promise you that I want to make an effort for you. It was Olivia who asked me to come and ask your forgiveness and even though I didn’t want to, she reasoned with me and I’m here now, so please know that it’s not against my will but that I want to make an effort for you, to see you happy.

Yolanda helped her son to his feet and took him in her arms. She was happy to hear him talk like that, and she was also proud to have Olivia as her daughter-in-law.

-I’m glad you’ve stumbled upon a gem, Damon, this girl really is the best, you know.All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

-Yes, Mom, I know, she’s the best, and I like her that way. So I don’t think we’ll be long, we’ll have to get some breakfast.

Yolanda took a few steps backwards, frowning. She didn’t know if what her son had just said was serious, and if it was, she couldn’t see herself going to the table and letting down the man who had supported her for years. Damon saw his mother’s reluctance and took her hand without taking his eyes off her.

-You know perfectly well that I’ve told you I’m ready to make sacrifices for you, so if I say we’re going to have breakfast together, it’s because I’d like the man who makes you happy to be there, so let’s go.

Yolanda was so happy that she placed a furtive kiss on her son’s cheek as they both left the room. He wondered what Olivia had gotten him into, because at this rate, it was going to be really hard to pretend seriously. Damon huffed, knowing for a fact that Richard was either just pretending to be worried about his mother, or was afraid Damon would turn Yolanda against him. When he saw them, he walked quickly over to Yolanda and started inspecting her as if he thought his own son was going to hurt her. Damon couldn’t stand the scene a second longer.

-Fine, I’ll call Olivia.

they paid him no attention and he left. when his figure disappeared completely, Richard pulled Yolanda into his arms and began kissing her as if his life depended on it. he wanted to tame Yolanda’s mind first before asking her what her son had said to her, something he knew would work very well given how crazy Yolanda was about him.

-Well, my love, what did he say to you? I hope you didn’t believe what he told you, because I know your son doesn’t love me and I don’t see anything that could change that.

-Don’t be so hard on yourself Richard, Damon’s made an effort thanks to Olivia because she’s the one who suggested he come and ask me for forgiveness so we can try to be a family, so I’d like you to make an effort too since Damon’s promised to make an effort of his own, please, just a little.

Richard didn’t know what to think. After what he’d proposed to Olivia, she’d offered to tell Damon to go and ask his mother’s forgiveness and, above all, to accept Richard as the man who shared Yolanda’s life. He wondered whether Damon knew what he’d done to Olivia or not. He was intrigued and had to find out what was going on or turn Yolanda against them.

-I’m not necessarily talking about Damon, but about his fiancee. I don’t trust that Olivia at all, and I’ve seen the looks she’s given me. I don’t think she’s a serious woman who deserves your son.

-What’s the matter with you, Richard? I’ve never heard you talk like this. Olivia is Damon’s fiancee and they love each other. I think she’s a very good girl because she found it better to ask Damon to make an effort so that we could be a family, you’re not going to tell me you’re going to spoil that, are you?

No, he couldn’t afford to spoil it when he had things to do in this family. He just had to keep his cool and find the best way to get Olivia out of the way, and once that was done, he could destroy Damon to his heart’s content.

When he was in the garden, he saw his beautiful fiancee pacing back and forth as if something was bothering her. he walked up behind her and embraced her, burying his head in her neck. she was the only person who could help him forget his life’s little problems.

-So how did it go?

-I know he’s going to try something and I don’t know what. My mother’s expecting us for breakfast but I think I’ll be able to stand the man so…

You’re going to make the effort. Just as you apologized to your mother and told her you’d ignore this man for his happiness, you’re going to do the same thing once we’re at the table, except you’ll have to strike up a conversation with Richard, and in the meantime, I’ll keep your mother busy with a bit of woman-to-woman communication. You’re going to do it, Damon, otherwise what you’d have done would have been for nothing.

He let go of her with a huff. All because he didn’t want his mother to find out about his marriage through the press, otherwise he’d never have set foot in Texas and would have stayed in New Orleans.
