Harvey

I turn back very fast I almost get whiplash to see who's voice it really is! Then I see who just spoke. I quickly motion a camera man and ask him,

"Who is that standing next to Andrea?" I ask him

"That's Gary her assistant" he tells me and my mouth drops open in shock.

"Are you sure?" I ask him.
He nods in affirmation.

I go inside and sit at the open glass French windows which open out to the yard where they were taking photos of her.
She was posing in all kinds of clothes and shoes.

I sat and contemplated everything. That exposing Damien stunt had really hurt him though we never spoke of it. It hurt me to have to do that but the blackmailer- who I now know is Gary said he had evidence to discredit me and Damien before the judge at our hearing and I would loose the custody of Ashton! I wasn't ready for it so I had to do whatever I could.

Should i tell Damien?

I knew Andrea was a hateful woman but to actually blackmail me and put Ashton at risk was crossing the line!

I feel arms wrapping around me and I smile and tighten his arms around me. I had come so close to loosing this man months back. What if the judge hadn't  ordered us to live together?

"Hey" he whispers

"Hey yourself" I say lifting my lips up for a kiss

He kisses my lips softly and hugs me tighter

"What are you doing out here?" He asks sitting in the chair next to me.

"Just thinking" I tell him running my hands through his hair.

"Oh no!" He says dramatically

"Damien! " I admonish him laughingly

"Much as I would like to stay here and cuddle, I need to make arrangements for our evening" he says

"What arrangements?" I ask
Weren't we just going to a premier?

"Our security detail, which car to take and what not. Usually I let my staff handle it, but baby, it's your first premier event and our first red carpet as a couple" he explains

I pounce on him and shower his face with kisses while he laughs not trying to push me off at all.

"I'll be sure to take you to more events if this is the thanks I get" he says kissing me and getting up to go.

Then a realisation hits me and my heart begins beating at an abnormal rate..
I love this man...
I don't know how or why it happened but this man melted my heart. Despite being rich and famous and incredibly handsome, he was so generous and loving. He gave his all and protected those he cared about. He was a blessing in disguise.

Should I tell him? How do I go about it? Is it okay to just spring it on him? Wait, I know who to call.
I get my phone and dial my number one girl...Bella.

"What's up Andrate?" She asks.

I missed her and Jake so much because of our colliding schedules and commitments. We did weekends whenever we could.

"Can you not call me by my last name" I say

"Why? Cause your rich now?" She says

I burst out laughing. That's Bella, always straight to the point.

"I missed you, now I need to talk and I need advice" I tell her

"Order champagne Andrate, I'll see you the day after tomorrow" she says

"Thanks a lot Bella, grab Jake for me too" I tell her.
After she promises to bring Jake and utilise the Andrate mansion when she comes, I remember that Andrea is here and I immediately knew trouble was going to brew here.

~~****

"Harvey! Hurry up and let's go!" Damien says impatiently

"Coming!" I yell back spraying Cologne and grabbing my phone

"Is that a new cologne?" He asks

"Yeah" I tell him

"Love it! Our security is here, let's get going" he says taking my hand in his and we go to the car opened by a body guard.

We arrive at the event and its alot to take in? Photographers everywhere, assistants, hair and make up people, reporters everywhere!
It got worse when they saw Damien! Frantic yells for a photo and interviews on top of his fans yelling and taking photos of him.
I knew he was a famous actor but I had never really comprehended how much till today!

After all the red carpet saga, we are finally led inside and we watch Damien's new movie. It is stunning and I am not just saying it cause he's my husband. He was good at his job.
When the screening came to an end, we mingled with the guests and took photos, then we went off to an after party.
It was at an exclusive club and it was actually fun. Damien loved dancing. After a while, we sat down to rest and then there was a commotion at the door way.
Guess who the culprit was? Andrea Garcia! Dressed liked she was going for the met gala yet everyone had changed into more comfortable clothes. We were in a club for crying out loud.

After diverting the attention to herself and doing a few interviews, she beelines straight to us and knowing everyone is watching, she pulls Damien to the dance floor and clings to him like a leech as they snap their photos.

I get up determined and go to them.

"If you don't mind, may I have my husband back?" I tell her

"No!" She says giving me a vicious look but turning back to smile sweetly at Damien

"Excuse me? What did you just say " Damien asks her

I smirk at her ...

"I was teasing Harvey, your welcome to take him" she says walking away

"I was just about to come for you" he says

"Congratulations on your movie, it's going to be a success"I tell him

"That means a lot coming from you" he says

"Can we leave?" I ask him

"Sure" he says calling the body guard and driver. Then they escort us to the parking lot and we get in the car and go home.
As soon as we reach, we go and check on Ashton and then fall into bed exhausted.

*~~~

The next day, I was so excited that Bella and Jake were coming I got Bella's champagne ready and  asked the chef to make them delicious treats and food.
I carry Ashton and sit waiting for them. Damien wasn't at home today. He was on the set of a movie. He'd be back in the evening.

I see a car coming up the drive way and hurry to welcome them. As soon as Bella sees Ashton, she hurries to carry and embrace him and he squeals delightedly at seeing her.

"Ella! Ella!" He keeps says

"Oh my God! He's starting to talk" she gushes over him as Jake comes and gives me a bro hug.

"Come inside " I tell them leading them to the living room as the house help serves them juice and cupcakes.

"Living like a king!" Bella exclaims

We laugh and Ashton squirms to be put down and he goes off to play. I call his nanny

"Watch him" I tell her.

After chatting and catching up, they all look at me questioningly wanting to know what I wanted to tell them.

I explain the blackmail issue and tell them about Andrea and her antics. They all keep getting angrier as I tell them about her assistant.

"That vicious bitch! Where is she? Am going to tear her eyes out! Bella says getting up

" She came in late last night, don't do anything crazy Bella, promise me" I tell her

"Fine!" She snaps angrily

"You could have lost Ashton or Damien could have hated you forever, what is that Andrea up to!" Jake says

"I don't know" I tell them

"Have you told Damien?" They ask me

"Not yet" I say as they all shout at me angry

"I'll tell him today, promise" I say

After having lunch, We were supposed to go for a movie but Bella declines claiming a headache. So Jake, me and Ashton go. That headache story I didn't really believe. With the way she ate and drunk champagne! If only I had known!

Two hours later

My phone rings and I pick it up, it's our security guy at home.  As soon as I answer, he immediately says,

"Sir, please hurry home" he screams into the phone and I tell Jake and we get Ashton and drive home.

What could the matter be? Did we have an intruder? Paparazzi or what?

As soon as we arrive at home, I see two body guards restraining Bella and  the other one trying to protect Andrea who has been beaten up she has a bloody lip. Chunks of her hair are missing and her night gown tattered!
On the other hand, Bella just had scratches on her arms and a few bruises. It was quite obvious who did the beating!

"Let me go! Am not done beating that whoremonger !" Bella screams

"Am going to sue you!" Andrea screams wiping her bloody lip.

"Shut up!" I assert "What happened I ask?"

"You didn't actually think I was going to  let her be, did you? She had it coming. It doesn't bother me and I am so not sorry!" She says challenging us to contradict her.

"Bella! " I exclaim

"What? You know me Harvey, I am Pisces, the revenge thing is our speciality! Better watch your back Garcia!" She says

"Stupid bitch, call the emergency room! Look what you did to my hair" She says

"Your hair? I wasn't done giving to a plucking haircut" Bella seethes

"You'll pay for it!" Andrea screams back

"Over my dead body! I would rather kiss Harvey" she says and I burst out laughing while Andrea glares at me.

I tell the body guards to let her and Bella go.

"I'll call the doctor to come home, we don't need this getting out" I say as Andrea storms away past me.

Bella turns back and winks at me and I smile secretly.

In the evening, Damien comes back and asks,

"What the hell happened here? I heard about hair tearing, clothes being torn, nail biting, face clawing and a fight.

I burst out laughing at his tone because I guess his head of security briefed him already.

Its time to tell him
