"Have you heard about the island party of the elites who have had influence on the BMX group?"Damien started, retaining the new position which he had just assumed. When he had gotten on his feet, Mr Colton had assumed that he was going to walk straight to him and hurt him or do something close to that. But to see him stand there was quite a relief to the stressed man.Meanwhile, the henchman who had been thrown was beginning to get back on his feet. It was only his right and duty to always get back on his feet as long as he has the consciousness. His sole duty was to protect his master. "I'll skin you alive..."They heard the labored words of the henchman trying to catch up with the indifferent Damien. "Just let it go. Let it go!"Mr Colton called amgrily at the man. It was as though himself had finally gotten a hold of himself. He didn't look as scared as he was about few seconds ago. Perhaps because Damien didn't pose any threat."Leave."Mr Colton ordered and the henchman stagg
Elisa was lying on the couch in her office. It was night. About 8pm. She was spread on the couch, her eyes shut, and one of her hands over her forehead. It was obvious that she was in a sleep state. But not in a deep one. Suddenly, she felt a shadow hovering over her. For a moment, she thought she was caught up in a dream or something close to that. But then she recalled that she was very much conscious about things that were happening around her. Though her eyes were shut, yet her mind was quite active and relatively vibrant. She was so conscious that, if someone had opened the door, she would had known immediately. That was why she was baffled. Baffled about the supposed silhouette hovering over her face. Though the office was well lit, making it look like it was a daybreak inside the office, yet she could distinguished when an obstruction was made in the stream of light directed by the rays of the white led light hanging in the ceiling of the office. She wanted to dismiss the u
"Not to sound rude, but are you sure about this?"Elisa asked as they got to the front of the restaurant. It was the same restaurant where Damien had sacked the acting manager. The acting manager whose daughter he had hit on. "You don't like it here?"Damien wanted to be sure before making a decision. She turned to him, her eyes widening. "I don't like what? Are you kidding me? Do you know for how long I have wishing I could eat here?"It was quite strange to see Elisa excited. And now, not only was she excited, she couldn't hide it. She didn't mind about her ego or pretend. This must really mean a lot to her. I GUESS I MADE THE RIGHT CHOICE. He smiled at her. "Then let's go in."Damien said. "Seriously?"She asked again. There was joy seeped in her face. Such joy he hadn't seen on her since he had been with her. "Oh thank God."She hugged him and kissed him without warning. At this point in time, it was Damien who was stunned. He didn't expect it. He didn't see it coming; she
"What did you just say?"It was only natural for Elisa to be confused. She had just been knocked out of one heavy mood to the other. It was quite a wild yet brief hurl. "Will you be able to do it?"Damien asked, carrying on the discourse, as though there was nothing much to worry about. It was at that moment that Elisa realised that he meant whatever he had said. He was not joking around. She knew too well also that she couldn't talk him out of it. His eyes were cold and unamused. The usual expression he would wear whenever he was not backing down. She felt thirsty at oncd. She wanted to drink something. She needed something to distract her for a while... or perhaps wash her throat. She couldn't ask him to order something yet. She had no idea why they had not ordered anything yet. She looked back at him. He was obviously waiting for her to say something. He had asked her a question, it was only right that she provide an answer. "Why would you kick them out all of a sudden? I mean
"Was it love at first sight?"Damien muttered the question. He wanted an answer so bad, yet he couldn't lay his hands on it. He could bring up the Nether camera function and rewind to the past. He could bring up what happened that day. But he didn't find the urgent need to do that. Though he was curious, yet he wasn't impatient. What she mentioned about the unholy errand brought back so many memories to mind. He recalled how recklessly he was treated by the girls. He didn't want to think about the severity of their cruelty. Even though he had grown to look to the other side, yet he couldn't forget about all the experiences. Who would?And to think about what happened between himself and Elisa that day would do nothing but bring the memories. It was a dilemma of a sort. "There's in no point digging to the past."He dismissed. He had come to a conclusion finally. "Whatever happens henceforth would be at the mercy of the time."He shut his eyes for a sheer moment. There were a couple
She walked briskly past him, almost knocking him out of the way. She didn't stop for a moment, nor look him in the eyes. She got into the elevator and pushed at the button of the floor she was headed to. He was still standing in the hallway, his back to her. She didn't seem to care. The elevator kept descending for a while till it got to the floor. The door dinged and was opened before her. When the door opened, she saw a man standing before her, his back to her. She didn't need to be told who that was. She should be stunned that he had travelled to that place without using the elevator, but she wasn't. It was as though she had really grown used to the magical attributes that Damien would exude. She stomped out of the elevator, flinging her body towards her office. She didn't for once turn to him. She didn't hear him come behind her. She didn't care either. She walked into her office and edged straight to her workspace. She got her bag and looked around for the last time. When she
"How do you feel?"She was sitting across the space, on another couch, but opposite him. Damien's eyes were were back to normal, and his face chilled. He didn't look neither happy nor sad. He wore a filtered gaze that couldn't be seen through. He didn't answer her question. There was a stool next to that part of the couch where he was seated. On the stool were bottles of water and wine. He had hardly taken either of the two. "Talk to me, Damien."She pushed a little bit further. Though she had a lot of questions to ask him, yet she was trying to be diplomatic as well as reasonable. The obvious fact was that she had never seen him act in such a manner. She had never seen him lose it and go out of control... unable to control his own body and wills. Of course she had seen him mad and pissed off. She had seen him do some certain things, but not this. She should be worried about the unconscious body of her ex which was in the guest room, but there was no point getting worried. Damie
"Is this good or bad?"Damien couldn't tell which of the answers to choose. It was hard for him to come to a conclusion. He was pacing her living room. It was already late in the night. And she had been gone from the living room since about twenty minutes ago. He had no idea what she might be up to. He didn't seem to worry about that much. He was only worried about himself. Worried about how he was going to handle this. "Should I feel happy or sad?"He wove the questions, hunting at the same idea. He didn't seem to arrive at the answer that he so wanted. He stopped pacing. "Why now? Why now that things are beginning to go out of hand? Would I be able to protect her?"He shut the doors of his eyes. To think that he was doubting himself was a slap across his own face. Yet he couldn't help but nurse it. He was being frank and realistic. "Can I be there for her when she needs me?"He asked another question spawned off the first. "It's already trouble enough being there for Jada. Now t
