Shadows of Desire A Night With Him

"Mummy!!" Damien was the first to snap out of the shock.

He ran right into her arms..

Irene followed and Harold just stood, smiling happily.

Damn!

This is so great.

Their embrace was so touching and he wouldn't like to interrupt them.

"It must have been so long they saw their mum on her feet" Doc Fern smiled.

"Of course, I'm so happy but hey,you could have simply picked our calls or reply our messages, we were worried, i was extra worried thinking something had gone wrong" Harold said to Fern.

"I thought a little surprise will help" Fern chuckled.

"It did...it really did" Harold smiled.

"And i shouldn't forget. Doc Sunil and Shreedah sent their greetings" Doc Fern said.

"Ohh...great" Harold smiled.

"Did you inform the cops about their kidnap yet?" Doc Fern asked.

"No"

"Why? You should"

"We can't, Shreedah's daughter life is at stake here, they'll go after her if we dare go to the cops and i definitely don't want that. She can't loose her child just because we want justice."

"Oh...Damn! Those badass will surely get meet their match soon" Doc Fern said.

"I hope so too"

"Seems they are done" Fern said and Harold walked up to them.

"Good day Mrs Neave" Harold said bowing a bit.

He adjusted his face cap as he raised his head.

"Thank you so much" Was the first word Mrs Neave said to him before pulling him into a hug.

"It's fine" Harold smiled.

"I wouldn't be on my feet if not for you,i won't have to live with the sadness of dieing anytime soon anymore. Thank you so much Mr Harold" Mrs Neave said,still embracing him.

"I'm glad you're fine now, I'm so happy to see you back on your feet looking as energetic as ever" Harold smiled.

"All thanks to you" Mrs Neave smiled too as she released him from her embrace.

"Enough of the 'thank you' ma'am" Harold said.

"I have to thank you cause im so grateful, you did more than enough to ensure my health is back to normal. We may not have enough to pay you back but i promise we'll do every little thing we can to make you happy too"

"Yes" Irene said.

"We're really grateful" Damien said.

"It's being so long i saw you looking this fit, you look great Mum" Irene smiled.

"I feel great also" Mrs Neave smiled.

"You saw lots of Indians right?" Damien asked.

"Lots of them, i would have loved to go on a tour but i couldn't wait to see you guys"

"Doc Fern had all us worried, we never knew he was cooking up something delicious" Irene said.

"You can now call me world best surprise planner" Doc Fern said and they laughed.

"So,we can go home with her now right?" Damien asked.

"No, she's gonna be in the hospital for some days to complete her treatment" Doc Fern said.

"Really?" Damien asked.

"Yeah"

"That's better then, it's gonna give me more time for the apartment hunting"

"Apartment hunting?" Mrs Neave asked.

"Yeah, we won't be staying in that apartment anymore, we'll be getting a better and safer apartment" Damien grinned and anyone would think he's the one going to pay for the apartment.

"Let's go to your ward to continue our discussion, i don't want cameras on Harold anytime soon" Irene said.

"Ohh...yeah"

___🍂🍂

"This is better and wider!" Damien said to Irene as they both checked pictures of apartment put up for sale on her phone"

They were back home after spending much time their mum.

Ivory and Nola will be going with them tomorrow to check on Mrs Neave.

"Didn't you see the price?" Irene asked.

"Ohh" Damien raised his brow.

"Let's continue searching" Damien said and they did.

*

"This is so tiring!" Damien laid on Irene's bed.

They were yet to find an apartment they can afford.

"Are you okay Miss Irene?" One of her bodyguards asked through the door.

"Yes i am" Irene shouted and Damien laughed.

"Your bodyguards are so funny" He said.

"Sometimes i do forget i even have bodyguards, i feel so uncomfortable with them" Irene sighed.

"That's because you're not used to having them around" Damien said.

"Wow! Come check this apartment Dam" Irene smiled.

"Great! We finally found a perfect one with a perfect price"

"And the location is not so far from here, we're gonna go check it out tomorrow after leaving the hospital"

"And then we move in when?" Damien asked.

"Let's go check it out first" Irene said.

"I'm so gonna miss this place" Damien said sadly.

"Man! We haven't even paid for the new apartment yet" Irene rolled her eyes.

"I know right" Damien laughed.

"May i come in?" Harold asked through the door.

"Yes" Irene said.

He walked in and closed the door behind him.

"What's up?" He asked, settling on the chair.

"We found an apartment" Damien said.

"Yeah and we'll be checking it out tomorrow" Irene said.

"Ohh...great, i hope the price isn't too high?"

"It isn't and even if it is, i can afford it. Im a wealthy woman yunno" Irene said dramatically and they laughed.

"The price isn't too high, it's affordable" Irene smiled.

"Ohh..okay" Harold said.

"Damien,how would it feel to resume Ivy Royals high school on Monday?" Harold asked.

"Huh?" Damien asked,sure he had heard wrong.

"What!" Irene exclaimed under her breath.

Ivy Royals?

One of the top schools in San Francisco?

He has only seen the school's picture once and he had skipped after seeing the manificence and the wealth lavished on it, he knew he wouldn't even dare dream being a cleaner in the school not to talk of being a student.

The grandeur is so different from every school's.

They always come first in every freaking thing.

It was also said that their teachers all graduated from the best universities across the states with the highest GPS.

Ivy Royals is a school of the rich, it's not even affordable for middle class,not to mention the poor.

Their school fees isn't revealed to the public but it is said that they do pay huge amount of money.

"I..i don't un.. understand" Damien stammered.

"Well...ive wanted to change your school since the first time we discussed but i felt it'd be better if your mum survives first and I'm glad she did. I'm sorry i didn't informed you beforehand but you'll be resuming Ivy Royals high school on Monday as a student, your school wears will be delivered to you today" Harold said and Damien was left dumbfounded.

He held Irene who was also speechless from the piece of news to keep him stable.

"Mr Harold..." Damien said tearily before hugging him tight.

"I..i..." Damien was saying.

"You don't have to say anything Damien" Harold smiled, knowing he can't find the right words to say.

He's being so emotional right now and he perfectly understands.

"I'm so grateful" Damien sniffed back tears.

"But..wait...I'll be resuming Ivy Royals?" Damien asked waiting for the last confirmation.

"Yes" Harold nodded and Damien's scream of excitement echoed through the whole building .

🌷***Next Day***🌷

"You'll be resuming Ivy Royals high school tomorrow? Mrs Neave asked in disbelief.

"Yes Mum" Damien smiled.

"My school wears has been delivered already" He added .

Ivory and Nola left just now and Irene walked them to the car.

Ivory agreed to leave after Mrs Neave promised to knit more beautiful sweaters for her.

She's going to make for Nola too.

They all enjoyed one another's company and they chatted like families.

"The school of the rich...how?" Mrs Neave asked in surprise.

"Mr Harold is going to be sponsoring me" Damien said.

"Oh..my! Wow! I really need to thank him, why isn't he here today though?"

"I think he has an urgent meeting to attend. I didn't sleep a wink last night, i was up checking more informations about the school online and I'm so amazed, i still can't believe I'll step into that...school tomorrow" Harold sighed happily.

"You're sure gonna miss your friends"

"Friends? You know i don't have a friend in my present school, the guys don't ever want to talk to me cause i can have their girls with just a wink and of course because of my brains" Damien said with pride.

"You don't ever stop talking about girls" Mrs Neave dragged his cheek painfully.

"Ouch.. Mum!" He pouted, rubbing his cheek.

Mrs Neave laughed.. "I'm sorry about that"

"Your apology isn't accepted" Damien frowned.

"I guess you need more cheek dragging then.."

"No...no" Damien stood up from her bed and walked to the chair.

Mrs Neave laughed heartily "Com'on".

"So..how are you gonna cope there? You know it's far different from your present school" She said.

"I know but trust me I'm gonna cope" Damien said.

"I know you will"

"You need to see the activities performed in that school, their garden.." Damien was saying.

"Enough of the school talk already Mr Ivy Royals" Irene said walking into the ward.

"Have you told mum we've found an apartment ?" She asked.

"Really?"

"Yes Mum, we'll be going to check it out after we leave here" Irene said.

"Ohh... okay. And i must say you stay with amazing people, they are as nice as Harold"

"Yes! They are" Irene smiled.

"I would never have believed if i was told I'll ever meet Harold Marshall. Everything happened so fast" Damien said.

"Yes, so fast" Mrs Neave agreed.

"And i wouldn't have believed if i was told I'll attend Ivy Royals high school" Damien grinned.

"Arrrgh!" Irene sighed.

**

"We shouldn't take long in checking out the apartment, i need to go get ready for SCHOOL tomorrow" Damien smiled.

"Geez!" Irene groaned and he laughed.
