Damon sipped his drink as he checked his wristwatch, it was a few minutes past nine and he would have to leave here immediately it was ten, he'll be traveling in the next two days and he had so much to do before he traveled. Many of his mates had come to either say hi or mock him all in the name of greetings, however, he'd not been offended, he's cool with whatever trash they're saying about him. He's used to it and nothing is new to him. Alan had left the party due to his sister's call and he was all alone now, he saw the girls occasionally before disappearing into the crowds again. "God, I want to go home." A familiar voice said and Damon turned to look in the direction of the voice. "I told you not to eat too much, now look at you, you were already sleepy when the party had just begun," Athena said with a chuckle and Electra just scoffed. "Hey girls, ready to go home?" He asked and Electra let out a loud yawn."Just give me a minute, I wanna relax, dang! Their food was awesome
"If you won't come up, I'll regret making an enemy of my two best friends just to invite you over to the party, come Damon, just come up!" Frank called and Damon just sighed, looked at the different pairs of eyes staring at him, and decided to go. As he stood up from his seat, he couldn't help but smile, something in him told him that Frank had other plans and he couldn't agree less. No matter the plan Frank has in store for him, he'll make him regret and that's a promise. Damon walked through the crowds to climb the stage and Frank had this devilish gleam on his face that further confirmed the suspicion of Damon, he knew Frank had a plan, he just couldn't wait to find out. If he thinks he can trap him then, he should think again. "Thank you so much for coming on stage Damon, however, before you choose a chit to determine if you're a lucky winner, I'd like to give a little speech, should I go ahead?" He asked politely and Damon just nodded. "Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, I'm su
A devilish smirk appeared on Frank's face and in the pretense of getting up, he pulled the wire so hard that Damon staggered badly and pushed the table containing the imported expensive drinks, leading to the bottles dropping from the table on stage down to the floor and making a sound as they smash and break. Damon immediately steadied himself and watched the expensive wines falling from the tables and breaking. He smirks in his head and turns to look at Frank who looks really thrilled by his handiwork. Damon knew Frank had pulled the wire intentionally, however, apart from him, he doubted if anyone else saw what happened. Frank walked up to him and muttered to him, "Beg me and I shall help you pay for this, or else, you might go to jail because of this, I know the manager of this hotel and he's a very vile man."A loud gasp escaped from people's mouths as they watched the bottle of alcohol fall on the floor, breaking and spilling its contents on the floor. Damon turned to look a
"You will pay? Did I just hear you tell such a terrible lie, you're yet to pay for the two that you bought, how will you pay for over thirty drinks, you broke idiotic fool?!" Lisa asked angrily, pushing the surprised Frank. The students began to laugh upon hearing what Lisa said and Frank burned in embarrassment. "What is going on here?" A masculine voice asked and all eyes turned on him. Damon turned to look at the man and he cocked his brow when he saw a familiar face and immediately turned away slightly to avoid being spotted. "Good evening, sir." Lisa immediately greeted the man, rushing down to meet the man who was giving them a questionable glare. "What's going on here, why the hell is everywhere looking so messed up? This is a five-star hotel for goodness sake, what's going on here Lisa? Why have you turned my hotel into a dustbin?" The man asked and Lisa immediately brought his hands together in pleas. "I'm so sorry sir, I have no idea that you'll be coming in today, plea
"I can only say one thing to you Frank and that's the plain fact that you're a big fool. You still haven't learned your lesson it seems, but don't worry, as long as you're still stupid, it's my duty to make sure you get some Iota of sense. I'm relentless to teach you a lesson as you're relentless not to learn..." He paused and lowered his head and added, "And believe me, you'll definitely learn.""You... You don't scare me, you... You don't fucking scare me." Frank stuttered, as he moved away from Damon, whose dark eyes seemed to be penetrating every inch of him. "I am not interested in scaring you, you're not worth scaring, you're already a scardy cat," Damon said with a scoff."I hate you, Damon, I detest you so much," Frank said angrily, clenching his fist. "Your hate is nothing new, you hated me from the day Celena chose me over you, I know where your hate story starts from, however I am not interested in ending it, keep hating me, I kinda feel good about it," Damon said with a c
Damon turned and he was faced with the very surprised Draco, "Well, well... Who do we have here?" He asked with a smile and all Damon could do was just grin. "Hey, Draco... Wasn't expecting to see you here." Damon said with a grin.As Draco drew him in for a brotherly hug, he knew his game might either be over or it might just be getting better. Everyone gasped and watched in awe as Draco hugged Damon. Different whispers filled the air and some people went as far as rubbing their eyes to check if what their eyes were seeing was real. How can a multi-millionaire like Draco be hugging a pathetic low-life like Damon? "Unbelievable! This looks so unreal?" A male voice said and the people around him could not help but to agree with him. "Oh God! What the hell are you doing here?" Draco asked immediately they ended the hug. Damon just smiled and shrugged his shoulders, "Nothing much, I just came to attend my school get-together, it's been years." He replied and Draco smiled."I never kn
Draco smiled and put a hand on Frank's shoulder, "You're very right Mr. Frank, someone will definitely pay for the broken drinks and I know who that person is." He said with a grin and Frank gave a sly smile to Damon. "Yes sir, someone would have to pay for the damaged drinks, I totally support it because these drinks cost a lot and you're not some charity organization that you'll be giving alms to beggars like him, it was his sluggish attitude that made him fall and break those bottles." Frank supported looking at Damon who just smiled and stepped forward. "You know Frank, I have no problem paying for the drinks but you and I know very well who made me fall, stop running your mouths, and let's end this matter here. I have things to deal with and you were never part of my today's schedule and you'll never be." Damon said and Frank just laughed."Just shut up your poverty-stricken mouth and stop putting the blame of your stupidity on me, you're just trying to frame me for a crime you
At that exact moment, Draco looked up from the laptop and turned towards them, only to see Frank's eyes on him. A devilish smirk appeared on Draco's face as he began to head towards Frank. Once he became one with Frank, he asked sarcastically, "Well, well, well... Who do we have here? A guilty man or an Innocent man pretending to be the victim?"Frank began to shiver all of a sudden, the shudder he'd been trying to suppress ever since he felt the game he was playing was not in his favor in any way. He had no idea how things suddenly went wrong, he'd planned everything perfectly but things suddenly went wrong. How could things go wrong when he'd planned everything so right? "Were you saying something, Frank?" Draco asked sarcastically, an evil grin on his face. Damon watched Frank shivering at normal room temperature and it took every part of him not to burst into a spurt of rowdy laughter. He never knew things would get so funny, he can't help but think about what would have happ
Wow. She was really getting a divorce. "Thank you." She mused, unable to look him straight in the face because she didn't want him to see the tears that clouded her eyes.Damon stood up and went closer to her before he sat down again, "I know I wasn't the best partner to you, I keep secrets but I did everything with your safety in mind Athena but still, I'm sorry and I want you to know that if you give me another chance in your life I'll be a better partner than I was when we faked our marriage." He stated and Athena shot her head up. "Wait, what? What are you talking about?" She asked in shock as she blinked back her tears."I'm not asking you to marry me but I want us to be in a relationship, and get to know each other before we walk down the aisle. If you don't like our relationship then you're free to walk out, I promise I'll not force you." He said and Athena's lip parted but no words came out."Say something, I know it's unlikely and believe me, I'm not asking you out because o
"So everything between you guys was faked?" Damon's mother asked in astonishment as Athena finished narrating everything to her. Damon sighed, he wasn't expecting his mother to find out this way. He wasn't even expecting Athena to ask for a divorce in this manner."Yes, Mom, it was all planned, our marriage was just a mere contract. A part of our plan to get me into this house." Damon answered with a sigh. "Wow, this is very surprising, I actually thought there was something deep between you two." Mrs. Hector said and Athena just smiled.She wished what her mother-in-law said was true but everything between her and Damon was a lie and now that everything was over, it was high time they ended everything. It was for the best. "Well, I don't have a say in what you two choose to do because you are all adults but don't you think you both make a compatible couple?" She asked and Damon cocked his brow. Great, here comes another pressure."Don't get me wrong Damon, I know that expression.
THREE WEEKS LATER. (At the Carneys Villa)"Damon, welcome darling, how was the case?" His mother asked as he entered the house, tired and hungry."It was a blast mom, didn't you watch it on TV?" Damon asked as his mother kissed his forehead.That's his mom's little ritual, kissing him on the cheeks or the forehead. He had tried to stop the little tradition because it was weird and for the fact that he was now a Boss but the older woman would have nothing of such, so he was stuck with it. "Welcome Teddy, she didn't watch it on television and she forbids anyone from telling her, she wishes to hear the news from you," Artemis said with a smile and Damon just beamed."Okay, so mom..." Damon began, clearing his throat, "We didn't only win the case, Dad's name is cleared and his company now bears his name, we are cleared Mom, our family name has been vindicated." He added and his mom began to sob and hugged his son. "Gosh! Mom!! Do you always have to cry at the slightest things?" Artemis
(Carneys Villa; same day) "I need an explanation, Damon, I really need an explanation, all this is driving me mad. How could you do that to me, you could have let me know about something, anything." Athena said in frustration as they both decided to retire for the night.Athena just doesn't understand anymore, she knows he doesn't like sharing his plans with anyone and she's not asking him to share any plans with her, all she requested was a brief info about what would happen, that is all she wanted, and nothing more... Nothing more at all. How could he always place her in a tight situation, why can't he just give her a heads-up about what would happen, why?"I'm sorry, I'm sorry alright, I just don't want to mess anything up, I know I should have told you..." "But you didn't! You didn't find it important find fucking tell you. I might not be your real wife but you could have told me because of the fact that I am your friend and I am your fucking partner in this task, don't I hold a
"Just look at you baby, you're a mess, how could you allow those people to bash you so hard?! That man...he's evil, you should not have gotten yourself involved with him, he's a devil, he...he was responsible for your dad's death, he's..." His mother said, breaking into another sob and holding his son tight. "Shhhh, it's okay mom, I'm here now and I'm perfectly fine. Don't worry, everything is fine, please stop crying now, Mom." Damon said and the mother withdrew from the hug, followed by his sister."Mom was so worried about you Teddy, she nearly passed out when she saw you getting bashed up badly by those men and he called that man..." Artemis said pointing at Mr. Carney who was in cuffs, "Evil, he said he's responsible for dad's death and she was hyper when she saw you getting real bashed up, we were so worried, Teddy, despite the fact that Trev told us that you'll be alright, we were still worried." Artemis explained and Damon just smiled."I'm fine now, sugar, just take a deep b
Damon watched Frank rush around, his in-law staring at everything in astonishment and then yawned before giving out the raw command, "Round them up." Immediately the words left his mouth, and the guards swung into action and began to apprehend Frank, Mr. And Mrs. Carney along with the son-in-law.The chains that were used in chaining him were loosened and he stood up, blood dripping from his body. "What's the meaning of this?" Mr. Carney asked angrily as one of the guards held him firmly. The guards provided a towel and water to Damon and he used it to wipe off his face. When he was done, he was feeling pain all over his body but it was definitely worth it. "Nothing, father-in-law, nothing much, all I did was just play a game, just like you had played with my father, though it was one hell of a painful game, the reward was worth it," Damon said, tearing off his blood-soaked cloth and taking another one provided by one of the guards. "No sir, you can not go into the room... Sir...
"Let my husband go!!! You evil man!" Athena shouted in front of the dungeon her husband was kept in.Her father was inside with him, along with Victor Frank and some guards. They were torturing him and without a doubt, they'll kill him soon. "Ahhhh!!!" Damon shouted and Athena dropped to the floor in pain and misery."You should be happy you're not there with him, you are very fortunate sis because if I am father, I'll have you killed too," Celena said with a chuckle."Get away from here you evil incarnate, enough of your stupid drama, you're just evil!" Athena said, crying.They captured Damon last night and they have been torturing him till now, she doesn't know what they want from him but she doesn't know what to do. She can't call anyone for help, she'd followed Damon here and since then they neither allowed her out of the dungeon nor allowed her in to see her husband. "I can't believe that Damon is the son of Hector, like this is so insane, he'd come to the family to destroy al
"I believe I have the solution to all your problems!" A masculine voice announced and all heads turned to see who it was. Heading towards them were Frank and Victor walking side by side. Athena immediately looked towards her husband but she was shocked to see that the man was resting comfortably on the cushion, his eyes closed. Athena stared in awe... Didn't he just hear that there might be a twist in his plans? Everyone stood to their feet upon seeing the new men walking towards them except for Damon who was still very much relaxed in his own seat. "Victor.... Oh, baby, I've missed you so much." Celena said with excitement and went and hugged Victor who hugged him back, "Hello Frank." She said and waved to Frank who replied with just a nod. "What brings you two here tonight?" Mr. Pedro asked as he studied the two men who were now in their midst."I heard you are facing some troubles, I came to be of help and I know you'll definitely need my help," Frank said proudly and Mr. Car
"What I am saying is that our dad once worked with a man called Hector. Fuck! Do you guys ever bother to ask Dad about his adult days because we all know that this isn't generational wealth? Whoever the anonymous person is, he or she has something solid and that's the only reason why the claims?" She answered calmly."And how do you find out about all these claims young lady?" Her father asked as he stared at her suspiciously. "Yeah, sis, how did you find out? Are you by any chance working with this anonymous person to bring your family down on their knees?" Celena asked immediately and Athena frowned.Damon looked at his wife, he couldn't help but wonder how she'd pull herself out of this tangle. Athena looked at everyone in awe, she let out a sarcastic chuckle and asked, "Dad, are you really asking me such questions? You don't expect me to jump into some crises without digging around. Even without digging around, it is known to those who wish to know that the company was founded b
