Bang!
The air seemed to grow thick as a presence strode into the room.
Gerald grunted and groaned as he lay on the floor, writhing in pains.
"What the hell?", he demanded angrily.
Hr wondered how ue had suddenly been thrown off the bed when he was about to have his moment of a lifetime.
Elena breathed heavily as she watched the seemingly foggy air dissipate, and Damien strode into the room.
"D-Damien", she barely muttered as her body raked with her sobbing.
General Damien was irritated at the sight before him. The man lay butt naked on the ground, struggling to get up.
Carlos, who trailed behind him, was bewildered at the scene.
"Who the hell are you? Don't you know this is a private room?!"
Damien felt a rage course through him at the man's words, but he felt an even greater tornado rise in him at the sight of Elena.
The bastard was going to take advantage of his wife in exchange for money!
He would be taught a painful lesson.
He walked over to Elena, who could barely look up in shame, shielding her from Carlos' view, and he took off his jacket.
Elena looked into his eyes, shivering as he placed it over her naked body.
He picked her up and walked out of the room.
"Hold him down", Damien ordered, and with immediate effect, Carlos had pinned him down.
Elena could only look down at her fingers as he walked with her to his car.
Her perception of him changed.
She could feel his muscular body beneath the suit, and he seemed to have this aura of utter control and power.
Could he have become successful and powerful?
Why was he so confident? Why did his presence have that aura of authority?She shook her head at the thought.
She was probably imagining things. The Damien she remembered was a poor worker at her father's company and could barely survive without their salary.
She was probably hallucinating.
****
A few minutes later.
Gerald was perplexed.
"What the hell? Are you crazy? Do you know who I am? How dare you invade my privacy?", he screamed at Carlos, who remained unmoved.
He was still yelling when Damien strode back into the room, his presence commanding utter silence.
Gerald became mute for a moment.
"Guards?!!", he screamed frantically. "Max! Stephen!"
He got no response and suddenly became frightened.
"Who the hell are you? I said you should let me go! You will regret this. I will make sure I destroy you. I promise you!"
Damien smirked at him coldly.
A glint of recognition flashed across Gerald's face, and he suddenly laughed in scorn.
"Damien?", he called with a hint of mockery in his voice.
Damien raised a brow at him.
"You wretched fool. I thought you were dead, but I guess you're still alive and wretched as you were before. You can do nothing to me. You are, and you will always remain the poor worker at Elena's father's company, which has gone down anyway", he spat in disdain.
Damien face gave away no expression to the annoyance of Gerald.
"You can't do anything to me, Damien. Not you and not this servant of yours here"
Carlos pressed him down more, and he groaned in pain.
Damien suddenly brought out a pen knife and tossed it to Gerald.
Gerald looked at it in confusion and then looked back to him.
"What am I supposed to do with this?", he snapped.
"Cut it", Damien replied vaguely.
"What?"
Damien smirked coldly. "The thing you were going to use to harass my wife. Cut it"
Gerald's eyes widened. "W-W-What?! W-what are you t-t-talking ab-bout?"
"You know wgat I'm talking about. Or should I come and show you?", he asked coldly. "If I have to come over to you, not just your life but that of your whole family will be at stake,"
Gerald looked shocked for a moment and then burst into laughter.
"Ha ha ha!! What makes you think I'd do that?", he asked scornfully.
Why did Damien think he would cut off his sick because of his stupid aura of pride and confidence and the leech that was by his side?
Who did he think he was?
Wasn't he the cleaner of Elena's parent's company, who dared not even talk back to him?
"I would never," he spat.
Crack!
A punch suddenly landed on his jaw, causing a loud crack to be heard, and Carlos suddenly had his neck in a choke hold, threatening to snap it and end his life, but he remained defiant.
"You're useless, Damien. You, Elena, and that wretched daughter of yours are all useless", he snarled painfully.
Damien's eyes were hard as he stared down at him.
Suddenly, a figure familiar to Gerald entered the room.
It was his father!
Gerald was shocked to see him there.
"Dad. What are you doing here?", he asked in a rush, but the old man bowed reverently to General Damien, causing Gerald's eyes to widen and his lips to quiver.
"Great General, sir", Gerald's father greeted, his head still bowed till Jacob ordered him to rise.
Cold sweat broke out on Gerald's face.
"You're such a fool, Gerald", he snapped in utter disdain and disappointment.
"What are you saying, dad? Why did you bow to this infidel? He is a useless cleaner who once worked with the George's companies. He is nothing"
His father, embarrassed by his son's ignorant words, rushed over to him and slapped him hard.
"Are you really so dumb?!"
He kicked him in anger and pulled him by the ears.
"He is the great General, you dimwit!"
Who doesn’t know the great general?!
Gerald was in denial.
"That is not possible. It can't be", he argued, but his father slapped his head in frustration.
"Are you really that dumb to not know the great general of our country?"
"It can't be Damien. He is a damned cleaner. He even wiped my shoes once. He can never-"
He trailed off at the sight of the badges that graced Damien's outfit.
Realisation suddenly dawned upon him, and he began to cry.
He refused to believe it.
"What if he is pretending, dad? I used to know him. "
His father could not believe the height of his stupidity.
"Cut your damned dick yourself, or I'd come over there and chop it into tiny bits myself," he said with a hard voice that made Gerald freeze. "If you don't, I will make sure to destroy your family and generations!"Gerald shivered, but Damien was not done.
To prove that he meant every word, he took out his phone.
"Do it now," he spoke hardly.
Gerald stared at him pitifully when he got a call from his manager.
He informed him of the crashion of one of his businesses.
"Ah!!!!"
Gerald screamed in shock and almost fainted as he was feeling dizzy.
At this moment, he didn’t dare to argue anymore, and he knew that Damien meant business.
But he couldn’t cut his manhood?!
How would he cut it?
"Make it quick!", Carlos snapped at him harshly, making him recoil. "Or I would have to do it myself,"
His father could only watch, knowing it was his foolish son fault.
Gerald gritted his teeth, shaking his head in refusal.
"I won't", he cried.
"Okay. Have it your way then"
Damien made a call, and instantly, Gerald got a notification from his manager who was confused as well.
Three of his businesses had gone down at once.
Gerald almost collapsed and started sobbing loudly.
"Please. I'll do anything", he shouted loudly.
At that moment, he felt intende regret for ever crossing paths with Elena.
She Elena was definitely a curse!
"Please!", he cried so loudly.
Damien looked at him with steel eyes and directed his eyes to the knife.
With no choice, Gerald took the knife and raised it, his face turning white as he awaited his fate of ruining himself!
"Ahh!!"Gerald's screams echoed through the private room and the hallways as he placed the knife against his manhood and sliced through it.His father could only watch with pity and shake his head.He knew that his son's arrogance and selfishness would cost him something precious someday. "No!!"He screamed again as he watched himself bleed.Damien kept a blank, cold expression as he watched the gruesome sight.He had seen worse, so he was not moved by Gerald's screams or pleas as he writhed in pain, cutting his manhood into bits.Gerald could not be more regretful.He wished he had never known Elena or had anything to do with her.His brain shut down when the pain became unbearable, and he passed out from the pain."Clean up, Carlos, and make sure things are taken care of," Damien's stern voice ordered, and Carlos nodded."Yes, great general,"He walked out of the room to his car, emotionless.The rage in his heart seemed to melt away by the sight of Elena, who sat clueless in his c
"Look who has the guts to show up for the engagement," Tanya's mother spoke up, breaking the pindrop silence.Laughter erupted from the hall."Elena and Damien. What an unpleasant surprise to see you", an uncle's voice rang out."So the cleaner who knocked you up still has the guts to come back after all these years," another aunt chipped in, her lips tilting in a mocking smile."Elena's parents' company has gone bankrupt in case you're planning to come back to work," someone added, and they all laughed.Elena shifted uncomfortably under the intense mocking stares of her family and other guests of the wedding.She was not surprised at their mockery.Her hand was lifted by Damien's as he entwined their fingers together. She turned to face him and saw that he was also unfazed at their actions.Together, they walked to her parents' table in the hall."Mother, please just let us back. We would not have done. We're your children. You can't just throw us out of your life", Elena's mothers v
"Daddy!"General Damien pulled the device from his left ear as a crisp but frail voice rang out loudly! Daddy?His brows creased seriously, feeling confounded, his lips pressed into a thin cold line as the air tore thin! He was the great general known across the world, who had built a vast empire of extra ordinary army and was even respected and worshipped by some! As the sole commander and god of the Central city, he protected the three borders from foreign invaders and enemies. Just within five years, he made a strong reputation out for himself after he was saved by his mysterious master when he almost lost his life totally. Now, he was been unexpectedly summoned by a strange little girl?Right in the middle of a fierce war?And he was even called daddy?He felt a mild tug at his heart as he heard her scream."Daddy, please save me!!""Little one, I think you have me mistaken for someone else. It seems you dialed the wrong number.""No! You're my daddy! Please save me. My mummy w
As Peter's knife trailed Lily's arm to her throat, she sobbed quietly. "Won't you beg me, little rat?", he yelled angrily! She had a defiant expression on her small face, and he roared angrily, lifting the knife to plunge it into her body when he felt a dark pressure hitting his back coldly! Instantly, Peter’s body tensed and his back was drenched with hot sweats as if he was been boiled! However, he was swift to conceal himself. General Damien's eyes took in the scene, and he felt the larva of his anger bubbling.He saw the little girl whose face had an uncanny similar to his, tied to the place she was been tortured."Are you my daddy?", her weak voice asked, and he nodded, his heart warming at the thin child."Who the hell are you?", the Mr. Peter snapped at Damien, who had a murderous glint in his eyes.He took predatory steps towards the robust man."I should ask you that? Who the hell are you to hurt my daughter? Do you know who I am?"His red eyes and fierce demeanou
Elena had a crease on her face as she stared at Gerald, who had a look of anticipation on his face.What choice did she have, really?A million thoughts danced around her mind as she tried to think of a better solution than the one she was seeking presently.She literally had no one who could help her except Gerald.If her parents were not so selfish to have killed the father of her daughter, she would have had someone to share the responsibility with!If only Lily had not been born with leukaemia! Well, it was not the little angel's fault."Tick Tock. Tick Tock!", Gerald said with a low, dark chuckle. "I don't have all day, my Elena."She suppressed a scowl as she stared at his ugly face."I..."She could not bring herself to finish her statement.She could not for the life of herself imagine getting married to someone as selfish and wicked as him. She pressed her lips into a thin line, and her frown deepened, deliberating about his character.He had no care for anyone, and she kn
"I'm sorry", the doctor muttered and walked to his office "Ha!"A loud gasp escaped Elena's lips as she heard the words of the doctor, and she slumped, unconscious.Some nurses rushed over to her and wheeled her to the emergency room.Carlos's face was as white as sheet, as he heard the information shared by the doctor. He looked to his master worriedly.General Damien lowered his head as he hid his emotions beneath dark eyes.The damned asshole who hurt his daughter will pay!His fingers curled into a fist as he thought about Peter and the things he would do to him when he saw him.Now was not the time to think about that bastard. Lily needed the best possible help, and he was ready to pull down the heavens to make sure she was alright."Great General-""No, Carlos'", his voice came out hard and cold as he silenced his surbordinate from saying words of comfort."Sir, do we suspend the war against the trespassing enemies?"He was aware of the complexity of the situation.Gen
"Let me go, you bastard!", Peter screamed from the chair he was tied to.He looked battered, and he was covered with dried blood, but he still kept a brave front.Damien had a devilish smirk on his face as he walked towards the man, who was roaring like a lion without teeth. "Who do you think you are to tie me up like this and torture me? Huh? You think you're strong and brave. I'm not afraid of you! You're nothing but a coward and a bastard!"He spat when he saw Damien stand directly in front of him, but he managed to keep his face straight."Trust me. When I get out of here, you would know you messed with the wrong person. I will deal with you and teach you a lesson you and that bastard daughter of yours will never forget. Mark my words!"Damien was unfazed by his malicious words. He stared down at him through hooded eyes, but the heat of his building rage could be felt by Peter as he stood beside him, not saying a word.He had a mocking sneer on his face as he stared at the ti
