“I have a question for you. Do you still want to cancel our engagement?” Damion asked after a while. Bianca thought about it for a while and sighed heavily. It wasn’t like she wanted to cancel the engagement earlier, it was just the anger that made her do it. She liked Damion more than she would admit to him but she didn’t want him bound to her just because of a silly betrothal made by their guardians without their consent.Marrying a man out of obligation rather than love was something she had never wanted for herself and she wouldn’t start wanting it now.“Honestly, yes.” Damion tried to hide his disappointment but Bianca noticed it anyway.She held out her hand and rested it on his thighs, causing his attention to shift to her face. “I really like you Damion and I could see myself marrying you, but I don’t want you to feel obligated to marry me. I have always wanted to fall madly in love with the man I’m going to marry and I want the same for you too,” she told him in a soft voi
Damion walked into the office he saw Bianca disappear and he found her on a queue wanting to pay for the rides. He walked up to her and pulled her away.“What are you doing? You just made all my hard work amount to nothing, now I’ll have to queue at the end of the line all over again.” she whined as she crossed her arms over her chest and when she was done talking, her lips pursed into a pout.“Come on. I saw an arena where we could watch the racers on the other end, and if you don’t mind I'd really love to watch a race or two before getting the tickets,” Damion remarked, pulling her as he stalked to the other end of the establishment.She snatched her hand away from his, and squinted her eyes at him.“You’re not using this as a tactic to avoid competing with me, are you?” Damion laughed as if she just said the most ridiculous thing. “Come on, why would I do that?”“Well, because you know I would beat you,” she replied, so confident in her skills. “Babe, even if I was to compete with
“Please add this gentleman’s drink to my bill,” he told the bartender. When he was done paying, he slid the card back into his pocket and grabbed the drinks in each hand. He then extended his elbow so Bianca could hook her hand which she did with her regal confidence. Damion then turned back to the man and looked at him in disdain, “Never ever talk to my woman again. That will serve both as a warning and a threat.”The man gulped audibly in fear and Damion walked away in satisfaction. That was his first attempt at intimidating anybody and it seemed like it had worked. He looked at Bianca as she latched onto his arm, standing tall and proud by his side, the gaze she gave him was one of complete adoration; Damion knew he had done the right thing. They found a vacant window near the stage where they were racing and sat there. The sun had already gone down but the race course was illuminated by a lot of stadium lights that it even looked brighter than day. Damion directed his focus bac
Bianca got to the register before him and sat down on a stool, turning to look at him with a superior look in her eyes.Damion looked at her skeptically, debating if he should question the look in her eyes or just leave her be. “What is that look you’re giving me?”“Well, I got here before you. I feel like that's an omen, signifying how the race will go.” Bianca stated, feeling proud of herself and Damion shook his head.“That doesn’t mean anything, I honestly doubt you could beat me even if you tried with all you’ve got. Besides, I thought we were a team competing against the other guys,” He asked, raising an eyebrow to challenge her. “Of course we are a team. I was just saying, you know.” She turned towards the register, and Damion knew that was the end of the conversation.He moved towards the register and purchased their tickets, after which they were led into the changing room. Daimon watched Bianca breeze through the clothes in the hangar as she ignored them and headed towards
Damion bent until he was eye level with her before saying, “You are the first woman I’ve seen ride a bike and you challenged that man out there. Believe me, he’ll never forget that he was almost bested by a woman; the same way I’ll never forget that the woman that challenged three men and came out third is my woman.”Calling her his woman seemed to do the trick as Bianca looked up at him as if she was just seeing him for the first time. Damion then stood to his full height and cupped her cheeks gently.She watched his face with apprehension and realized his intentions when his face started getting closer. She didn;’t pull back this time around, instead, she stood on tiptoes and grabbed the back of his neck as she pressed their lips together.Damion groaned at the confidence she displayed when she yanked him forward by the neck to access his lips better. Her lips were soft and everything he dreamed of, and words could not describe the way his emotions went out of control.He grabbed he
Damion didn’t want to leave her alone but he needed to get home as soon as possible. He had planned to go to the Lance Mansion to update both Bella and grandfather about the progression of the situation.Bianca opened the passenger side door and climbed down as Damion removed his seat belt and came down after her. She was already halfway to the garage door when he caught up with her. “Bianca baby, come on. Don’t be like that, please…” He grabbed her by the arm and turned her to look at him. There were tears in her eyes and Damion was already feeling tired from the amount of times she had cried today.Is this what happens when a girl has feelings for you? She just cries all the time or what is happening? So many confusing thoughts passed through his mind as she clutched at his shirt and sobbed.“I don’t want to leave you either but you know we can’t be together tonight. It’s just not possible.” If Bianca heard anything Damion said, she didn’t show any indication of it. Damion sighed
Bianca's heart raced as she made her way to their usual meeting spot in the school garden the next morning. She clutched the strap of her bag tightly, her mind swirling with a mixture of excitement and fear. Today was the day she would tell Damion about her decision to pursue her modeling career overseas. As she approached the garden, the scent of blooming flowers filled the air, mingling with the soft murmur of the wind rustling through the leaves. She spotted Damion sitting on an old wooden bench beneath the shade of a giant oak tree, his eyes fixed on the ground as he absentmindedly twirled a blade of grass between his fingers.Taking a deep breath, Bianca walked over to him, her footsteps echoing softly on the gravel path. Damion looked up at the sound, his eyes lighting up with a mixture of love and happiness as he saw her approaching."Bianca," he said, rising to his feet and pulling her into a warm embrace. "I've missed you, and I’m sorry for how we ended things last night."B
The morning sun streamed through the window of Damion's room, casting a warm glow over his cluttered desk and rumpled sheets. But despite the brightness of the day outside, Damion felt a heavy weight pressing down on his chest as he dragged himself out of bed.Bianca should be getting to Paris now, he thought as he sighed.His heart felt heavy with sorrow as he went through the motions of getting ready for his lecture. Every step felt like a struggle, every breath an effort to push back the overwhelming feeling of sadness that threatened to consume him.As he made his way across campus, Damion couldn't shake the feeling of hopelessness that squeezed his heart of all happiness. Thoughts of Bianca filled his mind, her laughter echoing in his ears as he remembered their conversations and most especially, their shared moments.Although he knew that Bianca's decision to pursue her modeling career overseas was the right one, that didn't make it any easier to accept.Lost in his thoughts, Da
It was funny how time flies. Within a twinkle of an eye Damion's much-anticipated wedding was here, this was going to be a wedding that would be talked about for generations to come. Although, right now, many were confused as to which of the weddings they would be attending, this was due to how close the venue of Damion and Wes' wedding was. Of Course, given that Wes was the CEO of W&S holdings, everyone would prefer to attend his wedding instead of that of a common man like Damion. Most people thought that the only reason Damion's wedding was promoted and popular was due to Bianca's status as one of the most popular models in all of Gold City. Right now the whole venue was flooded with people, different people from different places around Gold City, they had all come for Wes and Malika's wedding. The wedding was to be held at the largest event center in the city. While that of Damion was in the second largest, which was just a stone's throw from that of Wes. At the venue
It's been over two months since the incident at the Lance Towers, Gerard has been sentenced to prison together with Mr Smith who was guilty of being an accomplice. Although his father was found as an accomplice, this has not affected Wes's status; he had resigned from the Lance Medical Hospital and decided to begin work as the CEO of W&S holdings. The bitterness in Wes' heart was still there, and since his father was in prison, he decided to ruin Damion's life, although he knew that harming Damon was out of it as he didn't want to end up like his father. However, he vowed that he would make sure he embarrassed Damion in public, belittling him to the point where he would see himself as a low-life pauper with no place in the affairs of the rich. Bella was already well and strong, she had already resumed her acting career which seemed to be soaring higher with the help of Scott. The two had become the talk of the town as their movies broke the internet, any movie they acted tog
Damion watched as the police huddled the already paralyzed Gerard into their vehicle together with the Anslem soldier who was just regaining consciousness. “Dr Damion, we meet again" Detective Reeves commented as he approached Damion, stretching out his hands for a handshake. “You are here just in time detective" Damion replied as he shook the man's hand. “Just in time? Doesn't look like it” Detective Reeves answered. “How did you know about this?" Damion inquired out of curiosity. “Jack called, he also sent a text, summarizing all that was happening, all about the bug and all that" Detective Reeves revealed "I see, this is all Jack's doing," Damion smiled. “Why didn't you report this to the police earlier?" Reeves questioned. “The reason is best known to me" Damion smiled as he turned around and began to walk away, leaving the detective standing with his gaze on Damion. A vehicle suddenly pulled up in front of Damion. “Need a ride?" A voice came from the vehicle and
Immediately the shit was fired, the whole place went into a frenzy and some of the Anslem soldiers rushed to protect their leader, gunshots sounded everywhere. “Are you ok sir?" One of the Anslem soldiers asked Mr Gerard as he helped him back to his feet. “Get the van ready” the man instructed another soldier who quickly ran into the van and started the engine. All this while Damion still had his eyes locked on Gerard, he wouldn't let the man out of his sight, never, he wasn't done with him yet. Damion was about to attack again when fleets of cop cars drove into the place, and as the doors opened, Detective Reeves together with his partner Helen and other police officers stepped out. This was the handiwork of Jack, the person whom he had spoken to on the phone a while ago was none other than Detective Reeves, after the call, he had texted me Reeves, explaining every single detail of what was happening, although it was a summary, it was still enough for reeves to comprehend.
It came as a huge surprise to Mr Lance, to see Bella held captive by Gerard, Mr Lance hadn't thought of this at all, it had never crossed his mind that Bella wouldn't be safe. As Mr Lance stood there, eyes wide open staring at his granddaughter rough-handled and tied to a chair by this animal of a man named Gerard, Mr Lance gritted his teeth. Now he understood clearly what Scott meant when he said his dad would do things they weren't expecting at all. This was one of Mr Lance's fears, getting his family involved in things like this, Bella was the only family he had left before he found Damion, and now that he found Damion they were the only two family members he had left. His hand trembled as he swallowed hard, his mind calculating and thinking of the next course of action to take. Mr Lance knew that he needed to be careful as one little mistake might be the end of everything. The Anslem group soldiers weren't that much anymore, most of them had died, and some fled while o
As Davina lay there on the ground, she could feel the excruciating pains from her face, a part of her hair and shirt was already stained from her blood. Her breath was heavy and she blinked her eyes slowly, staring above, she could feel the energy in her body sipping out of her, and slowly she was beginning to lose consciousness. No matter how Davina tried to blink rapidly, in an attempt to stay awake, it seemed not to be working at all as her eyes felt heavy and the energy drainage on her body wasn't helping. A lone tear streamed down the side of her face down to her ears, and her eyes finally went shut, her mind went blank, and everywhere was dark. On the other hand, Nelly could be seen staggering towards the gun which was far away in the distance. It was funny how the two women had fought to the extent that they had pushed each other far away from the location of the gun. Nelly could already see the weapon, she couldn't walk faster than the way she was walking right
Back inside the lance towers, just outside the vault, Davina could be seen pacing around, her mind occupied, Jack had just confessed his feelings to her. It was something she wasn't expecting at all, although one part of her was very excited about this, the other part was a mixture of anger and fear. She couldn't help but frown deeply. “Why would he do that now, why would he tell me he loves me and run out to die like that just after telling me, what does he take me for, huh” Davina murmured angrily as she paced around. The gunshot sounds coming from outside the building weren't helping at all as they made her angry and scared at the same time. She cared so much for Jack and now that he had confessed his feelings to her, she wanted him back alone more than ever. “Please be safe” she muttered as she pressed her palms together and gritted her teeth. Davina's eyes traveled to the last place where she had seen the administrative assistant, Nelly. Davina frowned as the la
Mr Lance had expected this, he knew the Anslem group wouldn't stop without putting up a fight, it looked more like history was repeating itself. The Lance family had been in a fight like this with the Anslem group years back, it was in that fight that Mr Lance lost his son who turned out to be Damion's father. Damion's father was killed by the Anslem group, his death didn't happen in battle, it happened outside the battlefield, he was murdered alongside his wife, but that would be a story to tell another day.As the call ended, Mr Lance frowned, his eyes darted to the black man who was standing not too far from him. “Seal the doors and windows” Mr Lance ordered and the man nodded in affirmation as he got to work, sealing the windows. “What do we do about this?” Jack asked as he approached Mr Lance together with Davina and Jeremy. The call had been on loudspeaker so they had heard the message that was being passed to Mr lance. “They came for a fight and a fight is what we would g
Damion had never been so happy to see Jack and Davina, Just when he thought that all hope was lost, Jack and Davina came running to the rescue. While in the vehicle which had driven past the able-bodied men after them, splashing a pool of dirty water on them which was lodged by the side of the road, Damion couldn't help but wonder how Jack and Davina had came to know about this, or rather about his whereabouts or what he is up to. If he could remember correctly, he never told them about his visit to Scott and also his trip to the underground city for the second time, talking more about kidnapping Hakim and taking him to the Lance towers. Damion couldn't hold back the curiosity burning inside of him “Jack, I must say I have never been this happy to see you and Davina around, this was indeed a perfect timing.” Damion paused.“But I must ask” Damion continued “how did you get to know about this?, I mean how did you get to know what I wa
