"What am I supposed to do? He is nowhere to be found. I have been trying to put a call through but the call has been falling through, declining even before it could beep."Mathew couldn't take his eyes off the face of Elisa. It was so obvious that she was frustrated as well as concerned.There was a great deal of fear in her eyes, and she wasn't trying to hide it anymore. It was as though her life was on the line. Mathew sighed. Himself was clueless, he had no idea what to do.He had been trying to reach out to Damien but the call wasn't going through either."I can't call off the party. If it was yesterday's night, it would have been easy. But it's the D-day. The girls are waiting, the board members are converging too. It is a matter of time before the invited guests get here. I'm so scared for my life."Mathew's eyes widened at that. He wanted to get up and walk to her, to comfort and assure her. But then he realised that they didn't have such relationship. For the fact, they were m
Damien felt a shadow towering over him. His eyes were shut, covered by the weary lids. He was still in a sleep state, though in the shallow sense. His brain was wide awake but his eyes were indifferent. The silhouette which was specifically hovering over his face was another condition to consider. He flipped his eyes open. When he did, he saw two red eyes staring dead at him in the eyes. He grunted and pushed his head to the side. "How long did it take you?"He wanted to push his body up from the soft bed but he felt claws in his chest. The force which pushed him back into the bed. ~ now what? Will you apologise right now or should I rip your face open?~Damien looked back at the creepy red eyes of the wolf which was supposed to scare him. He who no longer knew what the word 'fear' meant. He had forgotten how to be scared. "What kept you all night? Were you keeping a watch? You should have been done with it if you think you are up to the task."~ you silly cocky fool...~The wolf
"No, this can't be true."Mira was the first to break the silence after the announcement of the name of Damien. All the girls were astonished, bedazzled, stunned and swept off their feet. None of them could had seen it coming. Who had could had of it? The former cleaner and help boy of the group is now the owner? The owner of the most respected beauty group across the world?"It must be a prank.""How... Damien is the... how?""When... How..."They couldn't take their eyes off him. It was as though he was some god on whose good side everyone wants to be. Then suddenly came the resounding of claps from every corner of the hall. All the people present, including the dignitaries and board members and CEO's roared a sound of applause to celebrate the new owner of the BMX group. The girls who were still stunned had no choice but to join in in the formality. Some of them couldn't close their mouths. They didn't care that they were supposed to be the center of attraction. What was right t
"That's not part of the agenda. What is he saying?"Elisa wanted to stand up but Der growled at her and she sat back down. Damien and her were seated in a position where all eyes could see them.For Elisa, it wasn't really a good thing. There was already the rumor that she was dating her boss. If the media gets hold of something like this, it would even be more fatal. "Do you have any gifts to give them sir? I'll go find some right now. It won't take more than ten minutes. For those ten minutes, the girls could keep parading getting comments and pass from the --""I have gifts."Damien cut her short. He looked away from her at once to the nine girls. Their lips were moving, chatting in gentle voices. They were quite far from where he was, but he could hear them clearly. His hearing ability must have been updated too."That's not part of it...""None of the owners had ever given us gifts.""Is this his idea?""You fools get up and put up a smile."One of the girls scolded the rest. Th
Laurette arched her head to look at Damien. Her face had confusion seeped in it. Her fingers going up to touch the balls of red gold connected together by a long thin of gold rope. Damien didn't for once look back at her. He was done with her already and was standing before the next person. Mira. He got to her and dipped his hand in his pocket as usual. He brought out the necklace and put it around her neck. "How Damien?"He heard her ask. He took a quick glance at her and looked away immediately as though he didn't hear her question. He was acting so cold towards them. He leaned forward on her. She thought he wanted to hug her but he whispered into her ears. "Mira, sell this and make a living living. I do not owe you anything.""Huh?"Mira was equally stunned. Damien moved from one girl to the another, saying the same thing. None of the girls could really reflect what was going on in their minds. It was just too much for then to process. None of them, even if they stood on the
"Perhaps I was wrong about him. That lad is so rude. He is leaving us here while he walks away? What degree of insult is this!"One of the three men seemed to had lost his cool. "Did you hear that... Did you?"The other guy had his eyes bulging at his socket as his turned to his mate, almost pointing in the direction of Damien who was about to walk out of the VIP exit. "What? Why are you so worked up...""Didn't you hear him? He said, MY GIRLS. He called the girls his... waah, this lad is really something. How bold... he seems too cocky for his age."The eldest of the three who had been keeping track of how Evelyn and few of the girls gazed desperately at the leaving Damien, as though they wanted to do all they could to make him stay. "This is getting interesting."The eldest chuckled. "Now shall we proceed with the agenda of the meeting?"Even though Matthew had no idea what else to say, he wanted to carry it out. He knew that the party couldn't come to an end so abruptly.He had
Damien kept a close watch, looking at the way Laurette and Mira performed. They had really beautiful voices and the song was sensational. The riffs, cadence, high pitches, head voices and whistles were on point. If it was the natural case, the girls should had lost their voices after the trouble they had been through. But the fact that they still had it meant that it was a raw talent. He couldn't imagine what they would become if they train their voices to the best of their abilities. If talent and hardwork meets. Then he noticed that they were still faulting with modulations and their pitch was not strong enough. Though they sounded good on the pitch, but he could tell that the pitch wasn't stable. If there was a cord of a piano being picked at that moment, their flaws would had been conspicuous. Even to the audience. WAIT A SECOND. Damien looked away from the hanging window before him. He looked to this side then to that side. There was a sudden and funny realisation which had j
When he jumped up, he realised that something rolled off his shoulder but he didn't care. He wanted to hurry out of the office at once but realised that if he left that way, Elisa would remain on the floor. He couldn't had imagined that the careful and classy Elisa could be such a dead log at the state of sleep. He did what he could quickly and created a portal. He stepped into it and found himself at the front of the VIP door which leads into the multipurpose Hall. He didn't know if what he was doing was right or wrong. He didn't know if he should do it, but he didn't care. He couldn't think of any other thing. The only thing he could think of was MY BABY. The baby Jada was carrying was all that he was worried about. That was exactly what had set his actions rolling. The door opened before him and he walked like he was zooming towards the stage. Not many people saw him come in. Majority of them had their attentions on the fallen girl. "Step aside."He called and the rest of the
