Damon's Odyssey (Journey To The Top)

Chapter 06.

"And what's that?" He asked, giving him a blank expression.

"Just sign the divorce papers and I'll get you a job in any company of your choice." He replied with a serious note.

Damon let out a deep throaty chuckle. Never expect an easy condition from anyone; especially a rich spoiled brat. He's not going to divorce his wife no matter what anyone says, he loves Celena and he'd prove himself worthy of her love.

"The offer is really tempting but I'm not interested and I never will and if you don't stay off this issue, I'll create problems for you tonight itself." He muttered the reply giving him a venomous look.

Ayden immediately went quiet looking at Damon with nothing but disdain in his eyes. He knew Damon could destroy him with the evidence he has against him so it's best to save his ass and stay clear of the couple's issue but he'll get that evidence from him and that day would be the end of him.

Damon glanced at everyone before heading upstairs, tears running down his eyes. He'd not give them the privilege of seeing him in tears,they want to crush his soul but it takes a lot more than divorce papers to break him.

He entered the small sized room that had served as his room for the past two years plus and shut the door with a bang.

Divorce?

How can he divorce his wife?

He loves Celena more than life itself, she'd come into his life and give it meaning. How can she just stand there and offer him a divorce paper like it's the easiest thing to do?

He let out a savage shout, kicking against the table next to him.

Why's life being so unfair to him?

Life made him an orphan at a young age, made him grow faster than his age because the orphanage can't afford to care for everyone so he'd hit the streets at the early age of seven trying to fend for himself.

How can life take the only person that his whole world revolves around?

No. He won't let life win again because he's going to win this time.

Something in him keeps telling him that whatever Celena said was true but the heart that loves her so much believes that everything she'd said was due to anger and frustration.

He'd been jobless for two years and that was bound to frustrate her. He'll leave this country and travel somewhere he'd get a job, once he's settled there, he'll come for her

Yes.

That's the best thing to do right now, he'll leave this city of bad luck and seek a new life somewhere else. It hurts that he's going away from his wife but that's the best thing to do now but he'll be back.

Damon Hector would be back because he's not a cursed or useless live-in son-in-law.

With the new resolution, he wiped his tears, grabbed his bag, packed a few clothes and his wedding picture...taking a good look at his small abode, a small grin appeared on his lips as he left the room.

He saw the family in a heated discussion as he came down and they all stopped to stare at him, there were questions etched on their faces as they saw him with the small bag.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" His wife asked when she saw the bag in his hand.

"I'm leaving Celena, I think I'm getting too comfortable in your big mansion that I forgot there are lots of countries that can offer me a better job. I'll start from the scratch and make enough money for me and you. You're right wifey, there's probably a curse but I'm not the cursed one but this country is." He said moving closer to her.

"Don't worry about me, I'll come back for you when I've made enough money." He muttered to the baffled looking woman.

"Ohhh, don't stress about where I'm going to go or stay...remember, I'm from the streets. I'll always survive no matter the situation I find myself in." He added, giving her a peck.

"Bloody bastard. What about the divorce? And what the fuck is up with you huh? Do you think it's easy to make money? You'll get yourself killed out there, you've lived all your life in this country, you're just wasting your energy Damon. Grant me the divorce and you'll get the job you want here." Celena advised but that only earned her a short snort.

"Thanks for the offer once again but I'm leaving to prove myself. Don't miss me too much sweetheart, I'll be back before you know it." He emphasized on every sentence as he began to make his way out.

"If you don't grant me the divorce, I'll consider myself single the moment you step out of that door." The wife threatened and that got him to halt.

"I'm warning you all, if you push this divorce shits too much, I'll expose your family's little secret and I'm sure you know the damage that would cause to your family business and reputation. I was quiet because I love you. If you make any mistake or create a mess about our marriage, I'll create a mess for you and your family." Damon threatened with indifference without bothering to turn back.

Ms. Carney gritted her teeths in anger and held her daughter's hand indicating that she should be quiet and Celena listened without protest besides there's always a back up plan.

The whole house was silent and in the absence of any word, Damon gave a shrewd smile and headed out without a second glance.

Every powerful family has dark secrets and he happened to uncover one of Carney's family's own and he'd use it against them. He'd never use it to hurt his wife's family but he has to use it to threaten them if he wants his wife to still remain his when he returns because he'll definitely return.

"Darn! I hate that man! How could I think that marrying him would benefit me!?" Celena shouted in frustration, flinging the divorce papers on the floor and head upstairs angrily tapping his phone.

"Excuse me mom." Ayden muttered, placing his phone on his ear.

He won't allow a nameless pathetic orphan ruin his life.
