“Drop the act, Nadia.”Without waiting for her to reply, Damien stood up, his figure towering over Nadia.“Before you waste time with games, you can check this out. There are several copies and I can also have them upload the information to Allen.”As he pushed the flash over, he gently slid the laptop that was on the table with his hands so that it was directly in front of Nadia.Although she had come here full of confidence at swaying Damien, seeing his expression, Nadia was able to read the room that it won’t be as easy as her just saying a few words.Glancing at him one more time, she inserted the flash and operated the computer.In less than five minutes, her face, despite the layers of makeup on it seemed significantly paler while her hands that were resting on the table was tightly clenched together.“D…Damien… why do you have all these?” Nadia finally managed to ask, her voice trembling.Chuckling gently, Damien finally sat opposite her. His eyes boring into hers.“Back then,
“Damien, Nadia is on the screen again!” Cedric hollered from the resting space of the laboratory.As for Damien, the one that was being talked to, his ears were covered with the laboratory ear flaps, and he couldn’t even hear anything.Just as he poured in the last substance, he moved to the side where several computers were set up.“Allen, analyze the final chemical needed for the composition.”After about five minutes, the third and smallest computer beeped up, and then very quickly, lines and lines of chemistry evaluation were displayed on the screen.However, there was not a single hand on the keyboard.“Cedric! It worked!” Damien shouted even though he could hardly hear himself.Cedric’s gaze was fixed on the television as he watched every action of the figure on the stage.The lady on the stage was holding an award and gave a short speech acknowledging all the people she said were a part of her success.“Even after so many years, she still never gives Damien any recognition,” Ce
Finding Nadia Sparks was not such a hard thing. Her news was everywhere.The newest Movie Queen.More importantly, Damien knew her apartment. Like most geniuses, Damien had a stubborn and wild personality. He found it hard to work with others, so early on in college, he picked up stock trading.However, although he earned money, if his expenses were counted, like getting Nadia a high-end apartment, his laboratory, and everything they needed for research, he barely had anything left to his name.As he got down from the cab, he gave the cab man a tip and then rushed into the building.“Sir, guests are not allowed in.”Damien paused, his brows raising at the security’s action.Even though he wasn’t here that often, the security here still knew him.To call him a guest now and then say he was not allowed in was a little out of line.“Tell Nadia that I’m here.”“Miss Nadia's manager instructed us not to let you in.”Being this specific, Damien could already tell that something was wrong.P
Life is always bittersweet.Some days, you are having the best day of your life but someone out there is having the worst. For Damien, he was having the best and the worst at the same time.His eyes moved from the paper that Nadia was holding in her hand to Nadia’s cold and unfeeling eyes.“You want a divorce?” He finally asked.His voice was dry and a little rough. Conveying all his emotions.“If you want me to give you some money to help you tide over, it’s not impossible. However, you must sign another additional contract where you are not allowed to ever mention that we knew each other.”Damien’s fists clenched tightly.“Is anyone forcing you to do this?”They had known each other since high school. How could she be so eager to cut things off with him?However, Nadia threw her head back in laughter.“Force?” When she met his gaze again, there was a sneer dancing on her lips.“You still think so highly of yourself, Damien.”“Do you think you are still some high school prince? Even
As he got back to the fourth floor, the security that had denied Damien entrance the previous time seemed to have been waiting at the grand door for him.“If you had taken some more time, we would have come to make sure that you weren’t crawling around the place,” the man said with ridicule.Damien’s brows furrowed slightly as he planned to ignore him. However, the man suddenly walked to stand in front of him, his eyes gleaming with a weird type of excitement.“In the future, you won’t be allowed here as Miss Nadia now belongs to different caliber of men.”Damien took the empty space left behind by the man and walked off, however, the last part of his words were replaying in his mind.Was it a mistake that he said men instead of using man?As though his trip here had been made public in a type of way, the van that had dropped Nadia off suddenly opened and two women jumped out of the van.“Hey, you!” One of them barked, her hands folded across her chest as she stared down at Damien.Se
Three years later.Three years was a short time for many things to change. But for a person like Damien that was born to shine, three years was a long time.“President, you have an interview with StarSpot. We would leave in thirty minutes.”Damien nodded and then raised a finger up, a sign that allowed his assistant, Simon to know that he was in a meeting.After what seemed like five minutes, he finally looked up again.“Tell Cedric that the deal with Arnold Group is sealed…”Before he could finish his words, the door burst open and Cedric rushed in.“Damn man, why didn’t you tell me you were meeting with Arnold? I already told you I needed to score some points with him so he would let me be with…”“And you know that I don’t miss business and pleasure” Damien interjected, cutting him off.Tactfully, Simon withdrew from the room.“You haven’t even tried to get his daughter to like you, yet you want to impress her father.”“Set your priorities straight.”Although his words were stern, h
Very quickly, the team at StarSpot came and directed him to the top floor.Although he wasn’t some big-shot celebrity, the entire world had been curious about the groundbreaking Damien Storm.Allen had taken the world by storm with breakthrough technology and within three years rose to a billion-dollar company.For a person like that, they couldn’t interview him on the same floor as celebrities and led him to the top floor.“Damien!” A lady squealed as she rushed forward to shake him.Although not used to this kind of reaction, Damien gave her a warm smile in return.“I don’t think the world would expect that you are this good-looking,” Susan teased as she settled on the couch opposite Damien.Damien had gotten in just on time and as he settled in too, the cameras and light came on.“In the last two years, many assumptions have been made and many people have even tried to make Allen imagine your face for them,” Susan continued.Damien chuckled gently at her teasing. “At a point, I had
“You have the wrong person.”Hearing his words, Nadia’s mouth pulled into a pout and she had a pitiful look on her face. She looked like she could cry any minute.However, in front of Damien, her every actions were simply ridiculous.“Damien, these last three years, I have done everything possible to find you, could it be that you were deliberately avoiding me?”In truth, Nadia knew deep down that her actions were shameless. However, she was also already accustomed to dictating how things went between them.When she was interested in him, she used him to pass exams and settle some matters, while always reminded him that she deserved better.By the time she felt he wasn’t deserving of her and had no future, she had cleanly cut things off with him.Now that she saw the live video, she was at first shocked. After all, she had dumped him because she felt that he had no more potential but now he was the same man that has been causing a storm lately.One had to know that his net worth was n
