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

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

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

    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

    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

    Damion was sweating profusely as he sat down in the police station. His face was bloodied, one of his eyes swollen shut, and he was hurting everywhere, which was the handiwork of some boys at the institution.Before the police arrived, the crowd had surged forward, wanting to take matters into their own hands. And while one of the security guards was trying his best to keep the mob back, four boys had broken from the crowd and had started beating him and the second one just stood and watched the scene without providing any help.Well, that was how things were done anyway but he had hoped the guard would see past his status and help him as a fellow human being. But even that was too much to ask for. Even now in the police station, he was regarded as a filthy animal polluting their station by the officers. He sat patiently, although nervous, hoping someone would attend to him.His right hand was handcuffed to the leg of the table he was sitting at, so he had no means of escape and ther

    “Hey cousin. It’s Damion speaking. I’m in the police station and I need someone to bail me out. Can you please…” Damion had not finished speaking when the call was cut off. It was the beep that sounded in his ears that made him realize that Bella had hung up on him.Devastated, he handed the phone back to the officer. “Well…?” the officer asked him.“She hung up,” he whispered, his voice cracking at the end. He swallowed the tears that threatened to fall as he avoided the officer’s pitiful gaze.“Is there no one else you can call?” Damion just shook his head. He was grateful to the officer because he knew he was helping him. For once, someone was treating him like a human being and his throat swelled with emotions again.The only other person he could call in this kind of situation was his grandfather, but he was sure the old man was listening in on the call.

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

    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

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
