Lily didn’t sleep well at all as she kept on tossing on her bed thinking about Damien. This couldn’t be a prank anymore. Damien was definitely in trouble. She had waited hoping to get a phonecall or a text from Damien that would explain everything but her phone was dead silent. Felicia wasn’t around, she heard her leave earlier. Probably she had gone to Damien’s office to get started with the excess work that was being compiled. Saying her prayers silently, she wiped the little tears from her eyes as she made her way to the bathroom and took her bathe before coming out. And then she changed into a loose outfit and walked downstairs to the big empty house and made breakfast for herself. She sat down and ate, wishing that Damien would just knock on the door and surprise her so that she could hold him and shake him till his teeth shook. Her mind then wandered back to the disfigured man and his daughter for a few seconds. She had never seen that man before but he felt familiar to her s

"Do you know, Lily?" Lily's father started the conversation. His words broke the silence that had been created. Lily immediately rolled her eyes, and she sat quietly on a chair in their living room as she listened to her father. "Didn't you ever realize that Damien was so embarrassed by you?" Her father started Lily's eyes widened at her father's words because she was so shocked to know that. "Embarrassed?" Lily asked in her heart. She frowned as she felt confused. As long as she gets married to Damien, she has never heard that he was ashamed of her. She only knows that Damien loves her so much with all of his heart, and Damien makes Lily the only woman that he loves. "Dear!" Her mother tried to cut off her father's words and sat beside Lily, who was still in shock. "Why, Honey? Listen to me first! "I've not finished my words yet, but you already called me!" Lily's father grumbled. His face turned red. "Don't say that to Lily! Poor ,Lily! I'm not sure if Lily is ready to accept i

"Damien," Mr. Dale starts. "Sir, I think you should allow me to go home, I can't spend the rest of the month recovering here. I need to be with Lily," Damien says immediately, feeling nervous. "No you don't, Damien, you dont." Mr. Dale counters. "This is exactly the reason why I need to leave, Lily could be in danger right now," Damien argues. "Danger? From whom? And what danger would Lily herself be in while you're gone?" Mr. Dale asks, raising his eyebrows. "From someone who wants to kill her," Damien says, staring straight into Mr. Dale's eyes. "Someone who wants to kill both of us." "Young man," Mr. Dale sighs, "Have you not realized that this woman you love so much is in danger because of you?" Mr. Dale asks. "Because of me? That's ridiculous!" "Is it though? This girl, Lily, has done nothing to you other than be herself." Mr. Dale continues. Damien's eyes widen slightly. His blood ran cold and his breath became heavy. How could he forget that the only way to cure her i

The next day at the meeting, Xavier's family and Turner's family continued to influence every investor. They wanted investors to take their shares of Damien's company, which would drop the company's shares. The two of them seemed to show a triumphant smile for having carried out such a huge mission. They were very confident that they would succeed. But then their plan was thwarted when Damien arrived. The Xaviers and the Turners were shocked to see that. Their eyes immediately bulged. "Huh? What? Why does he come? How can?" asked Xavier in his heart. Their eyes glanced at each other while frowning as if to ask, "How did Damien come?" Who told Damien? Those were the things that they thought. At that time, Xavier and Turner were afraid that the investors there would no longer trust them and would instead trust Damien. At that time, investors immediately wanted to take their shares. "I want to take my shares from your company!" "Me, too!" Damien threatened the investors and asked t

Hearing Turner's family's apology did not necessarily make Damien forgive him easily. Damien knew that they were only pretending to be forgiven; they are good playwrights. When he heard the apology, Damien could only roll his eyes in laziness. He had no intention of not forgiving them because he was too hurt. "You're really funny, Turner." "You defended Xavier earlier, and now you're apologizing to me," Damien laughed at Turner. Hearing Damien's words, the investors laughed out loud. They could not understand Turner's unconsistent attitude. At that time, some investors whispered gossip about Turner's family and Xavier's family's behavior. "I agree with you, Mister Damien! "He is very funny," commented one of the investors. "Yes. I agree too," said another investor. At that moment, Turner could not do anything but remain silent. He was just silent, with everyone in the room laughing at him. "I'm sorry. I don't know, and I don't expect that Xavier's family will do like that," Turn
