2024-10-29 19:42:56Damion stared at the old man in bemusement, more than a little taken aback by the man's familiarity with him. He took a step back from the old man.
The man arched his brow, letting his hand drop in disappointment. He looked sad for some reason.
Damion looked around the room, finally taking notice of a girl, a few years older than him, standing by the old man's desk. He remembered he'd been brought there to meet his supposed “grandfather”. He laughed.
"Are you people alright in the head?" Damion blurted out.
"Excuse me?" The young girl spoke up, arching a well carved brow in a show of arrogance that was second skin to those filthy rich people Damion always saw in the movies.
“Why send me that ridiculous amount of money and then you,” he pointed at the man, “even call me your grandson?" Damion continued, completely ignoring the girl and glaring daggers at the man.
"We are your family, Damion." The old man answered, taking a step closer to him.
"No, you are not." Damion replied.
"I am your grandfather, Damion. You have to believe me. Everything is complicated, but I will be sure to explain to you in time." The old man said, almost pleading.
Damion let out a mocking laugh.
"You have got to be joking. There is no way that I am your grandson." Damion said, looking at the old man as if he were insane. Was this perhaps the price the man had paid for being so ridiculously wealthy?
“I am your grandfather. There is a reason why you were separated from me." The old man replied.
Damion ran his hand through his hair. This was insane and completely wild. He needed to find a way out of there.
"You must have me mistaken for someone else, old man. Now if you'll please tell your people to explain the money in my account and tell me why you're playing this joke on me." Damion said.
Damion noticed the girl giving him a curious look, up and down. He didn't care what she was thinking, in her black and dashing, designer suit, she looked as much of a predator as the old man sounded.
“Nat…"
"Do not call me. I don't know you. How do you guys even know who I am and what my name is? This is the first time I have ever seen you. Let me leave." Damion said, anger seeping into his voice.
"DNA test." The girl said, stepping forward.
"What are you saying, Bella?" The old man asked turning around.
"We should have a DNA test carried out. This is funny, but he is the first one to immediately react this way, even with all the money involved.”
Damion's face tightened in disbelief. Why the hell should he want anything at all to do with a bunch of strangers who were spewing the wildest lies?
He was an orphan, he'd grown up in an orphanage. But then what did the chairman of Lance Towers have to gain from lying to him? From deceiving him?
From claiming a lowlife, pauper who had barely finished highschool as his grandson?
“You're the only one who's reacted this way, even after seeing all the wealth.” She said coming to stand beside the old man.
"Bella…you have seen the childhood pictures of Damion, you must know that he is the boy we are looking for." The old man said to Bella.
Damion was stunned. So they'd done a thorough background check on him?
"I know what I saw, grandfather. He may look like him but he could also not be his grandson." Bella replied coldly, looking right at Damion.
Damion looked the girl up and down again, thinking that it must be nice having the richest man in the city and probably one of the ten richest in the world, as an uncle.
"I would like to leave. I couldn't care less about your stupid DNA test." Damion said, turning to leave.
"You will be well compensated for your time." Bella called after him.
"I don't need your money." Damion said stiffly.
"Something else, then?" She said taunting him.
"Stop, Bella." The old man snapped at her and she nodded.
Damion rubbed his brow in a mixture of frustration and tiredness. Today was a really long, really weird day for him. And to be honest, he did need the money.
"If this DNA test is done and it says that I am in no way related to you, you will leave me alone. Forever." Damion said, directing his words at the old man.
"You have my word." The man replied.
The old man pointed to a luxurious looking coffee brown sofa that looked plush and soft and felt even plusher underneath Damion's ass when he sat down on it.
Damion tried not to be obvious about his astonishment at the place still, taking in the ornate pieces which included ancient looking vases and art in corners of the room.
He guessed that just one probably cost more than he could probably make with his lifetime salary, working his current job.
A few minutes later a man, who carried a suitcase and looked like a doctor, was brought in by the same lady from before who had kept calling him young master.
He observed her curiously. He wasn't sure what the hell was going on.
Damion said nothing to the old man who walked back to his desk.
The old man motioned for Bella to sit on the couch and Bella did so.
Apparently, everyone took orders from the old man.
The doctor came forth, wearing gloves and holding cotton wool, he dabbed the cotton wool in antiseptic before running it around in small, tight circles in Damion's wrists.
A minute later a syringe appeared and the doctor extracted some of his blood for tests.
Damion barely flinched when the syringe sank into his wrist and soon enough the doctor packed up and left with his blood samples.
Damion rubbed at the spot. The doctor had wiped off the dots of blood and placed a cotton swab over the spot, covering it with a square plaster.
“So? What now?” Damion asked.
The old man sat behind his heavy oak desk, eyes fixed on Damion. His eyes held an ecstatic look in them. “He's going to compare your blood samples to mine and that of my niece here, your cousin.” He motioned to the lady.
Damion held back from releasing a loud burst of laughter. The man made saying ridiculous things seem easy.
“Just wait a little while, I'm sure it won't take long.” Bella muttered, crossing her right leg over the left.
Damion sighed, rubbing at his sore cheek.
“What happened to your face? How did you get the bruises?” The old man suddenly asked.
Damion had forgotten all about the bruises on his face from his accident. He was so used to feeling rough and looking even rougher. He shifted on the sofa, uncomfortable with the sudden scrutiny from both the man and Bella.
He cleared his throat. “Just a minor accident. Nothing serious.” No way in hell was he going to relay the humiliation he had passed through at his girlfriend's hands that had led him to foolishly get himself into an accident to another soul.
Maliya and her new man would get what was coming to them.
The old man stood up from his desk, and crossed to his door. He pulled it open, and from Damion's position, he could see the buff bodyguards outside the door.
He conversed with them and then returned to his chair behind the desk. He faced Damion again. “Would you like to have anything as we wait for the DNA results, Damion?”
Damion frowned. The man called his name with a familiarity that was upsetting. “No, I'm good.”
Bella chuckled softly from the sofa opposite Damion.
Damion glanced at her, wondering what was funny.
She looked up to find his eyes, her eyes bold. “You're a weird one. We've got so many people eager to agree to being my cousin, but you can't wait to leave.”
Damion didn't reply to her. It wasn't as if he could get away with pretending to be the one they were looking for anyway. They'd catch him if he tried, not that he'd ever planned to try.
He wasn't interested in being a fake heir.
A couple of hours passed, and the door was opened by one of the bodyguards, revealing the doctor.
The man had grey hair, and wore tiny round glasses that perched on his nose.
His white coat over his suit looked pristine and Damion knew this was no ordinary doctor, like the ones he always saw at the local hospital, who couldn't even stand him.
He walked up to the old man's desk and handed him a file.
Bella stood up, walking to the side of the desk, and peeking into the files as the old man flipped through the few pages.
Bella's lips pulled into a round o, and the old man got out of his seat with a boisterous shout.
He rushed to Damion and drew him into his chest, hugging him.
Damion held himself stiffly upright.
“You really are my grandson!”
Damion shot the doctor a startled look but the man just nodded, smiling at him.
When the old man finally freed him, he gripped his shoulders, “We've searched for you for such a long time, Damion, I had almost lost all hope of finding you.”
“It’s really you! My one and only grandson.”
Damion could only stare at the man.
The lady in red, Bella spoke up again. “You're the only grandson of your father, Damion.”
“The only sole heir of Lance Towers.”

“Wait a minute,” Damion shifted back, his hands running over his face in jerky motions. “I can't be your grandson. I was raised in an orphanage and I grew up with nothing. I have never before heard anything about a family of my own. I don't even know how I came to be in that orphanage. I've never…I've never had a family.” Damion stuttered out, his heart stuttering, because did they really mean that he had a family? The lady smiled for the first time, also moving closer to Damion. “That's because we lost you. Uncle can explain everything to you later…cousin.”Damion laughed then, shaking his head in disbelief. “This can't be true.”Sensing Damion's frustrated disbelief, the doctor took the files from the desk and crossed to Damion's side, handing them to him a little too respectfully. Damion's eyes read the words slowly, over and over again.A 99.9 percent match to Lance Ericson.That was the old man. They were saying that man was Damion's father and it sounded like something out of

Damion jumped off the couch where he was sitting. He massaged his forehead as he paced around his grandfather’s office. He was so in a hurry this morning to get out of the house and come to Lance Towers because of his curiosity that he had forgotten about the most pressing issue in his life at the moment.As he paced around, his cousin approached and tapped him on the shoulder, mouthing ‘what happened?’ to him but he just shook his head and walked out of the office.He was glad he finally had a family, people that will care for him no matter what. It felt nice actually but he didn’t want them all up in his business. At least, they hadn’t reached that stage yet.“I’ll be right there, Daniel. Thanks for calling to notify me,” he finally replied to his friend on the phone and hung up.He walked back to the office and just when he was about to open the door, he sighed. This whole situation felt like a fairytale and he still felt awkward and out of place around them.At the moment, he was

Immediately his alarm rang, alerting him to start preparing for the day, he panicked thinking he slept in late and jumped off his mattress.Panicking, he huried to take his bath and get to work but as he observed the disarray of his room, his mind went back to the time he paid his landlord for his rent and how the landlord had helped him pack some of his stuff back inside.

Early the next morning, a driver arrived for Damion from his grandfather's side.The driver got down and opened the door, bowing his head as Damion got close to the car. Shocked and afraid of anyone seeing the driver, Damion immediately hurried inside and closed the door.As they sped off, he decided to make small talks with the driver and address the issue. “Excuse me sir. Can I ask a few questions?” He started.“Sure. You can ask me anything you want, young master.”“You can call me Damion, please. That's my name,” Damion felt uncomfortable with the way the driver was addressing him.“I know your name, young master.” The driver was clearly not going to stop addressing him as young master, so Damion decided to let it go.He would talk with his grandfather about the issue when they meet.For now, he was curious about the driver. “What's your name?” “Louis.”Damion proceeded to ask about the man's family and learnt that he was married with two children.They made small talks until

Damion walked out of the room and followed the servant to the dining area on the left side of the yacht. Bella and Ericson were already seated when he got there and Bella gestured for him to come sit beside her.He obliged and nodded to his grandfather once before observing the table. The table was full of food and he was sure they would not be able to finish the food. What will then happen to the leftovers? But he removed that thought from his mind and decided to focus on eating to his fill. Bella and Ericson were engaged in a conversation about the business world and other stuff he was not interested in, nor could he contribute even if he was interested, so he let his mind wander as he watched a maid serve some food on his plate.He had never sat at a table this full before but he had seen this kind of setting, and he had always wondered what happened to the leftovers after the meal.In fact, there was a point in his life where he had wished to be given those leftovers. He was sudd
Damion Lancaster is Secretly The Trillionaire Boss CHAPTER 13. The Decisions We Make.
It had been two weeks after the yacht cruise and Damion was now very comfortable with his family. He spoke with Bella over the phone every night after studying and his grandfather was not left out either. The old man doted on his grandson more than his health. It seemed like he was determined to make up for the 19 years he had missed in Damion’s life by spoiling him silly, not like Damion had any issue with that anyway. Damion was on his way to deliver a pizza on his new bike when he saw Maliya and her new boyfriend coming out from a restaurant ahead of him. He immediately looked forward and tried to pedal away to avoid them but Maliya had already seen him.She moved to the front of the bike and he had no choice but to stop. He had been so caught up with the revelation of his newfound family and studying for his exams that he had not thought about her for a while.But now that she stood in front of him, blocking his path, it triggered a memory that made his heart ache violently in h
Damion Lancaster is Secretly The Trillionaire Boss CHAPTER 14. Trying Out New Things.
The overhead neon lights almost blinded Damion as he walked into the club. He had to close his eyes for a second so that he could adjust to the lighting.His senses felt like they were going into overdrive. The sound from the speakers were booming in his head and he felt like he was one with the music–in a bad way though. Also, the smell of sweat mingled with cigarettes and weed made him want to puke and he immediately regretted not taking up Bella’s offer of a VIP lounge. He looked up and saw Bella far ahead in the crowd, and he fought his way forward, trying to get to her.“Hey, you enjoying yourself?” Bella shouted over the music. “Actually, no. How do you even get to enjoy a place as noisy as this?” A dull ache had began to form in the back of his head and he just wanted to go home and sleep the night off.They finally passed the dance floor and arrived at the bar. He saw as Bella comfortably flopped herself on one of the bar stools and he followed suit.Bella ordered a Scotch

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.

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.

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.

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.

Chapter 153: It is not over
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

Chapter 152: Hakim's trick
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.

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.

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.

Chapter 150: Under attack
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
