Cold water cascaded down Damon's body, he'd come to the room to think but the annoying thing was that he couldn't think. He couldn't even rest a bit... He knew rest was far from him as long as his body and mind were concerned. Until he finds a way, he won't have any rest of mind. The doctor had told him to rest but how would he rest when there's so many problems with him... With much more accumulating. Just when he'd thought he found a way, it was blocked entirely. He doesn't know where to turn to, everything seems to be after him. His life was a bit simpler when he had nothing, it was a pathetic life, and he had nothing to show or be proud of. Now, he has everything... Power, money, connections, and all but still no peace of mind. Was he cursed not to have serenity?! The water was relaxing his body but nothing could relax his racing mind right now. He is just a set of jigsaws and he wondered when he would be put together. "Message from Electra." His AI announced. "Play it."

A low yawn escaped Damon's mouth as he made his way out of his room. He'd not only slept late, he could not get a good sleep too. Whenever he closes his eyes, the thoughts bothering his mind would not allow him a single form of rest. He could not help but wish to just shut down for a few minutes, he was as tired as one could be but sleep refused to claim him. If he's able to sleep well, perhaps he'd be able to get some form of physical rest but as his body would have it, it can not rest. How's the whole thing fair?!. "Good morning boss, hope you slept well. Electra asked as she saw him coming towards the elevator.Damon gave her a blank stare and nodded his head. They both stepped into the elevator. After their discussion last night, he'd stayed out in the cold for more hours, thinking about everything she'd told him. She was right and she still is, having Athena here is like winning a jackpot and he should be happy but he has no idea why he wasn't. He does not wish to compromise

"You could have told me you have flower allergies, I'm so sorry Athena. I meant no harm." Trevor apologized to the woman sitting on her bed. "You really don't have to apologize, I love flowers and you brought them with so much affection, how could I reject it? I thought I'd get discharged earlier but it turns out that the doctor was out on a business meeting which was why I was still in the hospital bed." She said with a smile. "Well, all is good now, you got the comfort of your room. I'm glad you're well now, you got all of us scared... Especially him." Electra said, pointing towards Damon. Damon heard what Electra said but chose to ignore it, after Athena's allergic reaction, he'd phoned Doctor Alec asking if Athena could be discharged and he'd affirmed it. He'd brought her to her room to rest but she insisted on him staying saying that she wanted to clear all misunderstandings. He wanted to clear up all the misinterpretations too, so he stayed. "Awww, I never knew I'd captured

The phone was ringing. Damon's eyes were closed, he cussed in the state of subconsciousness at the intruder that was disturbing his sleep. He'd labored for that sleep before it finally took him in its weak slumber. The phone continues to ring but he chooses to ignore it, the caller will either get tired of calling and stop or get frustrated. Simple and plain. He's not compromising his rest for anything, he'd finally gotten the little rest he deserved after a very long time. The ringing stopped only to resume again, well... The caller has a strong resolution. He brought his wrist close to his mouth and muttered, "AI, block that fucking call." "Call blocked." The robotic voice announced and a smug graced his sleepy face."It's already 8:50 in the morning." It disclosed but Damon chose to ignore it. Having the AI is a blessing and a curse for him.Damon tried to sleep again but he could not, the call had definitely chased away the little sleep in his eyes. Opening his eyes, he l

TWO WEEKS LATER. "What are we going to do boss? I'm going wild right now." Electra asked, pacing around in the tenth they'd set up for the night. "Why are you so restless? Hold your horses, Electra." Trevor conveyed. Electra stopped pacing, turned to look at him, and frowned, "We've not heard from Athena for the past two days we camped here and you want me to hold my horses? You have to be kidding me." She said in frustration and sat down on the nearest chair."Okay, keep up with the worry, Let's see if that would bring her back." Trevor huffed and turned back to start working on his laptop. Damon sighed, maybe it was truly a bad idea to send Athena into that fortress, he should not have agreed when she suggested it. Some of the assassins they had sent for the past few months came back with some useful information; they could not gather evidence because the security in the fortress was extraordinarily elevated. Before one would get in, there'd be so many scans and checkups by dif
