Thanks to Jah Nesta for the review. Waiting for the rest... on the homepage of the book. Not the chapter. Thanks for reading.
Damien should feel elated and bold because of the sudden change of the two Batsquatches who were left. The only meaning he could read to it was the fact that they couldn't bear to stand before him again. They probably were scared because of what he did to his recent kill. [Ping! Host should be ready for a wild impact. Double attacks.]"What!"Damien's jaws dropped. "They are not scared of me? They are getting ready? How could that be?"He knew he didn't have the time to argue with the system or his instinct. All he had to do was seize the moment and not be caught off guard. He couldn't afford to let his guard down. "Even if they would attack... wait a minute, I mean they are supposed to attack one after the other. Isn't that what the system said... or, was I the one who was thinking too much?"He found himself asking so many questions which he was reluctant to give answers to. "On the bright side, that's a good thing. If they come at me at once, it'll be a once-and-for-all thing.
Damien flipped the window system out. He took it down again. He looked around him. The only thing he could see was the transplanted shades of his red eyes on the trunk of the tall tress. He sighed. He knew he couldn't keep walking in the dark. He would attract several wild animals. He wasn't scared of any of the animals, he just didn't want anything to do with striving. Not at that moment. That was the moment for him to think of going back to Vegas. It was a beautiful feeling and thing to know that he wouldn't have to worry about traveling in full speed across the ocean. He had the teleport function. Though he had never used it before, he was reluctant to bring it out. There was usually one way to use a teleport portal. He didn't need to be told that. He had been wanting it all his life and there it was. But it was strange that when he finally got to use the telepprt function, he was no longer excited. He had thought that he would feel on top of the world if he was able to lay his
"Jada, check this out. How do I look?"Evelyn was dressed in a beautiful red gown, to-mactched with heels and a bag that connects fashionably with the heels. "Nah... that red is too flashy. Get another one whose tone is quite deep. That would suit your skin. You don't want to look like an octopus in a fish bowl."Some of the girls laughed at Jada's joke. Everyone had learned to make her feel comfortable. She was the most fragile of the group at that moment. No one would want to get her sad or mad. Except just one person,"Bullshit, Jada. Bullshit. I'm not in support of this idea of making her choose what looks good on us. You said that would be an emotional support for her, which would help the baby. But to me, this is emotional blackmail. To us."Yes you are right. It's Claire. None of the girls saw that coming, which left all of their jaws dropped. While some glared at Claire, some couldn't choose which reaction to nurse. "Tomorrow is a big deal for us. And whatever we choose thi
"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
