Ashley, Damian's Mom, cried in pain in her study. Earlier, she couldn't hold back her tears after seeing how her son was cruelly killed. It felt like thousands of arrows pierced through her heart. She had done her best to protect him ever since he was Ten, but he still died. Before his Dad died fifteen years ago, he put his younger brother, who is Damian's Uncle, in charge of his company and instructed him to hand it over to his son when he was twenty-five. He trusted his brother, but his brother became greedy and wanted to have everything to himself. He wanted his own family to own the company, and there was one way to achieve that, if only Damian, his nephew, was dead. Ashley, who also trusted him back then, began to keep her son away from him when a maid, who had been working for the family for a long time, confessed to Ashley that she had been ordered to poison Damian's food or else her own family would be killed. "An ordinary delivery guy couldn't have killed my son. It's someo

His eyes opened slowly and all he could see was white. He rolled his eyes, wondering where he was. The room door opened, and he could hear footsteps coming towards him. "Damian, are you awake?" A voice called out "Damian? I think you are making a mistake, I'm Javier" he corrected inwardly. "Do you think he is okay?" The feminine voice asked again. He tried to sit up to see the people around him, but he felt a sharp pain in his neck and he groaned painfully. "You should lie back. You shouldn't stress yourself for now", Ashley said, as she tried to help him lie on his back. "Do you remember my face?" Ashley asked calmly, and the memories of what had happened flooded his mind. "You almost killed me!" He yelled immediately, ignoring the pain he was feeling. "I'm sorry, but I did what I had to do. Everyone already believed that if Damian was alive, he would have a scar on his neck. I can't let my plan get ruined because of a sloppy job" Javier sighed heavily. Then he remembered R

Javier knew what he was in for and how important it was for him to do what Ashley said in order to be safe. In two weeks, he started boxing, learned how to speak like Damian and how to walk just like him. He also got used to being called Damian, but the name 'Javier' that his parents named him was engraved in his heart. Mrs Stevenson's secretary, referred to as Thomas, came to his room to drop the suit Ashley had chosen for him to wear since it was the day he would be appearing before the board of directors. "Everything will be fine" Thomas said after sensing his nervousness. "Mrs Stevenson wants you to wear this, there will be a driver waiting for you when you are done." "Thank you, Thomas" he replied calmly. —---------- —---------- Since Mathew didn't succeed in killing Damian, he knew Ashley would be able to bring him before the Board of Directors, which makes his blood boil in anger. In no time, his seat in the company would be taken away by his sworn enemy. "During the la

“But then, where on earth is Javier?” Ruby asked herself randomly as she dressed up for work. “Oh shit! I'm running late!” She exclaimed immediately as her eyes wandered to the wall clock. Knowing fully well that Damian wasn't very nice to her, getting to work late was a way to ask for trouble. She immediately put some finishing touches to her outfit and grabbed her car keys. She decided to be a good secretary and get coffee on her way for Damian. Maybe, just maybe, it would melt his heart. “Hi, can I get an Americano to take away please?” She placed her order after entering a coffee shop closer to the company. She wore a smile immediately as she entered the office lobby, and she smiled at everyone who greeted her. She hastened her pace when she caught a glimpse of Damian waiting for the elevator. She was glad that he also came late to work, so she wouldn't be scolded. By the time she got to the elevator, it was about to close, but she was fast enough to stop it with her leg,

"Why are you here?” He asked curiously as he got out of his car. “I called Thomas, and I was told you weren't at home yet, so I decided to wait for you out here”, Ruby said, and walked closer to him. “That still doesn't answer my question”, he folded his arms across his chest and waited for her to speak. “When I became your Assistant, I was told to assist you in areas you find difficulty and to also put you through, but I don't think there will ever be a chance for me to work properly if I don't address this particular issue” She paused briefly to be sure he was still with her. “You are being too harsh on me that your sight scares me. I understand that our first meeting wasn't so great, but that doesn't mean I'm incapable or dumb!” “Okay….?”. “It is either you stop being harsh on me or I quit! You don't even try to see the good side of me. All you do is to complain and vent. Now Mr Stevenson, if you really want me to remain your Assistant, I would advise you to do something about
