"What I am saying is that our dad once worked with a man called Hector. Fuck! Do you guys ever bother to ask Dad about his adult days because we all know that this isn't generational wealth? Whoever the anonymous person is, he or she has something solid and that's the only reason why the claims?" She answered calmly."And how do you find out about all these claims young lady?" Her father asked as he stared at her suspiciously. "Yeah, sis, how did you find out? Are you by any chance working with this anonymous person to bring your family down on their knees?" Celena asked immediately and Athena frowned.Damon looked at his wife, he couldn't help but wonder how she'd pull herself out of this tangle. Athena looked at everyone in awe, she let out a sarcastic chuckle and asked, "Dad, are you really asking me such questions? You don't expect me to jump into some crises without digging around. Even without digging around, it is known to those who wish to know that the company was founded b

"Let my husband go!!! You evil man!" Athena shouted in front of the dungeon her husband was kept in.Her father was inside with him, along with Victor Frank and some guards. They were torturing him and without a doubt, they'll kill him soon. "Ahhhh!!!" Damon shouted and Athena dropped to the floor in pain and misery."You should be happy you're not there with him, you are very fortunate sis because if I am father, I'll have you killed too," Celena said with a chuckle."Get away from here you evil incarnate, enough of your stupid drama, you're just evil!" Athena said, crying.They captured Damon last night and they have been torturing him till now, she doesn't know what they want from him but she doesn't know what to do. She can't call anyone for help, she'd followed Damon here and since then they neither allowed her out of the dungeon nor allowed her in to see her husband. "I can't believe that Damon is the son of Hector, like this is so insane, he'd come to the family to destroy al

"Just look at you baby, you're a mess, how could you allow those people to bash you so hard?! That man...he's evil, you should not have gotten yourself involved with him, he's a devil, he...he was responsible for your dad's death, he's..." His mother said, breaking into another sob and holding his son tight. "Shhhh, it's okay mom, I'm here now and I'm perfectly fine. Don't worry, everything is fine, please stop crying now, Mom." Damon said and the mother withdrew from the hug, followed by his sister."Mom was so worried about you Teddy, she nearly passed out when she saw you getting bashed up badly by those men and he called that man..." Artemis said pointing at Mr. Carney who was in cuffs, "Evil, he said he's responsible for dad's death and she was hyper when she saw you getting real bashed up, we were so worried, Teddy, despite the fact that Trev told us that you'll be alright, we were still worried." Artemis explained and Damon just smiled."I'm fine now, sugar, just take a deep b

THREE WEEKS LATER. (At the Carneys Villa)"Damon, welcome darling, how was the case?" His mother asked as he entered the house, tired and hungry."It was a blast mom, didn't you watch it on TV?" Damon asked as his mother kissed his forehead.That's his mom's little ritual, kissing him on the cheeks or the forehead. He had tried to stop the little tradition because it was weird and for the fact that he was now a Boss but the older woman would have nothing of such, so he was stuck with it. "Welcome Teddy, she didn't watch it on television and she forbids anyone from telling her, she wishes to hear the news from you," Artemis said with a smile and Damon just beamed."Okay, so mom..." Damon began, clearing his throat, "We didn't only win the case, Dad's name is cleared and his company now bears his name, we are cleared Mom, our family name has been vindicated." He added and his mom began to sob and hugged his son. "Gosh! Mom!! Do you always have to cry at the slightest things?" Artemis

Wow. She was really getting a divorce. "Thank you." She mused, unable to look him straight in the face because she didn't want him to see the tears that clouded her eyes.Damon stood up and went closer to her before he sat down again, "I know I wasn't the best partner to you, I keep secrets but I did everything with your safety in mind Athena but still, I'm sorry and I want you to know that if you give me another chance in your life I'll be a better partner than I was when we faked our marriage." He stated and Athena shot her head up. "Wait, what? What are you talking about?" She asked in shock as she blinked back her tears."I'm not asking you to marry me but I want us to be in a relationship, and get to know each other before we walk down the aisle. If you don't like our relationship then you're free to walk out, I promise I'll not force you." He said and Athena's lip parted but no words came out."Say something, I know it's unlikely and believe me, I'm not asking you out because o
