Chapter 19

Damien


Damien shared the link of July novels to the website of group, with family and colleagues.

Damien read all the novels written by Ibiso Bob-Manuel (July) and in each of them, he voted, shared to friends on his different social media accounts and commented. He created an incognito Wattpad account thus no one could recognize him as the user.

July and Rachael were surprise that in a month July's latest novel climbs up to three thousand reads (3k) and four thousand comments added by two thousand votes (2k).

July squeals happily in the pet clinic at the top of her voice and immediately a notification on the Wattpad site pops in.

"Congratulations July"

"Tomorrow made it to the paid stories"

"Our experts will contact you soon on your next agenda"

"But share with friends and start living richer"

July and Rachael read the notification in unison facing each other speechlessly.

"Ah!!!" July and Rachael screams loudly in the pet clinic clinging into each other tightly.

"My hard work has finally paid off"

"I will inform my mother right now" July said impulsively taking her phone from the table.

"Congratulations baby"

"Now all you need are followers" Rachael said politely with a bright smile.

Days later, July informs Damien of her latest success he encourages and compliments her lovingly. Damien invites July for the second time to visit his parent but this time as real couples.

"I hope they won't reject me" July mutters sadly to Damien in the car.

"They agree or not I will never leave you for the second time" Damien said lovingly.

Damien and July faces each other emotionally staring deeply into each other's eyes thus they kiss romantically and passionately as the tinted screen automatically covers the passengers' seat, the driver swallows nervously while driving smoothly.

As usual Mr. Victor Gerber, Mrs. Julliana Victor and Rose were already eating when Damien walks into the dining room with July.

"July!" Rose calls excited as she stands up from her seat approaching July, they embrace ach other tightly though July stayed stunned by her reaction.

"Good day mother and father"

"Good day"

July and Damien sits gradually on the empty seats while Mr. Victor and Mrs. Julliana Victor nods their head slowly in acceptance of his greeting.

"Why did you bring her here again?" Mrs. Victor Gerber scoffs annoyingly.

"Mum" Rose calls as if annoyed, Damien smirks.

"Mother, this is the bride I have chosen" Damien said bluntly with a bright smile and July roll her eyes lovingly.

"It's not possible son" Mr. Victor clears his throat unacceptably.

"If you don't love Diana, we can choose another lady for you" Mr. Victor added skeptically.

"What does she have?" Mrs. Victor asks slyly rolling her black slated eyes nervously.

"Do you want to disgrace our family's reputation?" Mrs. Victor asks annoyingly.

"I'm sorry babe" Damien said softly in a low tone squeezing her hand gently under the table.

"It's nothing" July whispers lovingly with a small smile.

"Dad, please stop treating July so bad" Rose pleads sadly with a mischievous frown.

"I already take her as family" Roses added happily with a bright smile.

"Damien if you are desperate on getting a bride" Mrs. Victor pauses with a small beam thus everyone faces her with keen interest.

"I can introduce LadyLy on Wattpad to you, she is a nice author and judging by her write ups she will be a romantic partner" Mrs. Victor informs cryptically with a bright smile. July, Rose and Damien laughs loudly to the one that fits facing each other in curiosity.

"Do they know the person?" July wonders in tense.

"Do you know her?" July stares at Damien and Rose anxiously.

"Do you mean LadyLy that dedicated a chapter to Damien in her novel?" Rose asks sarcastically with an anxious grin.

"You read the novel too?" Mrs. Victor becomes anxious as she faces Rose roughly.

"Yes mum"

"Damien also joined her novel as a rule in the company that all staff should support her novels" Rose explains briefly with a wide smile, Mrs. Victor quietly nods her head in agreement while July faces Damien in astonishment staring at his eyes in admiration.

"Should I give you the next shocking news mum?" Rose asks her mother bluntly sending a hideous flirtatious wink to July.

"Go on" Mrs. Victor replies desperately as she faces her husband and turns back to Rose in anxiety.

"LadyLy is July" Rose informs apathetically rattling out Mrs. Victor with a bright smile.

"Impossible" Mrs. Victor rebukes immediately shaking her head in disbelief.

"Chapter 11: Fallen Already" July said confidently with a soft smile as her small blue blur dovey eyes curves graciously, they faces her out of curiosity including Mr. Victor Gerber.

"His surprise for her was taking her to the aquarium; she runs back and forth admiring the beautiful ocean animals that swims freely in the water"

"'I love this babe' she screams with her hand on the walls of the transparent glass"

"The title of that novel must be Tomorrow" July said courageously, Damien winks at her loving and her cheeks flusters with hot blush while Mrs. Victor approaches July in shame, astonishment and happiness.

"Don't judge a book by its cover... you know" Rose said sarcastically as she watches her mother stagger backward and forward approaching July.

The days roll by and successfully July has been accepted by Damien's parents. July supports Rachael on planning her upcoming wedding at her apartment.

Bing! Her laptop makes a loud sound thus she leaves Rachael on the armchair and approaches her laptop which was on the living room table.

It's a new message on her email, July carefully click unto the tab making the message to pop up with the header NETFLIX STUDIO all written boldly. July inhales and exhales fearfully as she returns to the page reading the body of the letter with keen attention.

"Greetings, Great Author"

"Your marvelous work caught our attention"

"We will love to sign a contract with you"

"Developing your novel into a wonderful movie"

"Please contact us for more details"

These were the texts July read repeatedly on her email.

"Oh my god!" July squeals loudly at the top of her alto voice in great astonishment and Rachael hurries into the living room impatiently with a fearful stare.

"What is it?" Rachael asks panting pitifully.

"I got a contract with Netflix!" July squeals again raising her both hands up in jubilation, Rachael scrolls on the laptop reading faster.

"This is surreal"

"You made it again July" Rachael chants meticulously with wide smile, July let out a toothy smile reading the message consistently and Rachael laughs smirking mockingly finally July exhales deeply.

Rachael Dylan all dressed up in a beautiful long white wedding gown holding a bunch of daisies and rose flowers placing it closer to her lower stomach, she graciously walks on the red carpet approaching Tony Stewart who is standing closer to the pries on the lower platform.

Tony is dressed on a neatly tailored blue suit with a black sparkling Louis XIV product (shoe), he stands upright at the lower platform wearing a wide smile as he watches his beautiful wife-to-be approach him majestically.

"Do you take Tony Stewart to be your lovely wedded husband in sickness and in health, in poorer and richer till death does its part?" The priest asks politely looking holistic and reserved.

Behind the scene, Damien tickles July playfully and she continuously laughs awkwardly on her seat ashamed of attracting eyes to them.
