"If things go well, what would be my reward?" Athena asked as she worked her way around the huge primary system center.Damon turned to look at her in fascination, "What kind of reward do you want, great mind?" He asked, his eyes focused on her.This was the last phase of the mission, once the system got hacked and destroyed, everything in the fortress would be affected because every little device was connected to the primary system center. "How about you organize a party for us? It won't be bad to have our own party. We have a house full of young blood eager for fun, a party would not harm. What do you think?" She asked, her fingers working on the laptop keyboard violently."I'll think about it, just stay focused." He replied and Athena smiled. It might be the last part of the operation but it is extremely difficult too. If they're caught, they'll be done for good. "All done, we're awaiting your order," Electra announced as she halted beside them. "Good, is the communication with
The situation in the big van was exceptionally apprehensive, all eyes were on one device; the laptop in front of them. Damon's eyes were so focused on the laptop that they didn't even blink much, his heart pounded furiously against his ribcage. They'd successfully escaped from the fortress but the virus that was meant to affect the system was yet to be completed. When Athena had told him about the system alert if she introduced the virus to it, he was alarmed. If the system alarms them, they'll be in great danger, and escaping would become a mirage. In order to create another diversion, he'd activated the bomb he and his teammates had planted in some part of the fortress, and that did the magic. Once the bombs began to explode, the soldiers' attention was on it. They would definitely be confused because they'll think that someone was attacking them and hence finding the intruder... As the bombs kept exploding at random, they were able to speed towards the escape route because the
"We've got everything, boss. All the proof that would take them down, I just have one slight worry right now." Athena said as she turned to face Damon who was engrossed in his phone."What do you mean?" Electra asked."There would be many displaced assassins once the exposure is done and many of them would be rendered homeless. What are we going to do about it, especially those that are now termed ‘Machines'? They are very dangerous when it comes to mingling with humans because they're no longer much of a human. We need to do something about them, we want to help them but we should also think about their safety." She explained and Damon sighed softly. It's just a few hours since they got back into the mansion and it's still a tight situation for them, they need to give the evidence to the right people and thanks to Doctor Alec, they found the right person to give it. Once it's morning, their exposure would start... He'd kept them in a tight spot by damaging their system, by morning t
The Villa was bustling with life and preparation, different happy chatters could be heard from every section of the house. "This is going to be a craizzy party!" Electra said with excitement, her eyes roaming around the beautiful decorations. "I know right, it's truly going to be wild. Everyone is so excited but if the party is held here, I think it's gonna be stuffy." Athena agreed, a low yawn escaping her mouth.She was beyond weary, she was just having a good sleep for the first time in a week and she couldn't even sleep for long, her girls kept disturbing her to come down. "It's not gonna be here, the party would be held outside the big vast open air. They are just so excited that they're decorating everywhere, most of your girls turned out to be decorative experts. We don't need to hire any decorative artists, they did all the work and I'm quite impressed." Electra said and Athena just smiled."We used to live in slums but one will never know it's a slum because of how they ta
Athena kept stealing peeks at Damon as he talked to some of the guests. Ever since he told her about their marriage, she'd been disturbed. "A glass of soft drink for you, boss." The girl serving as bartender offered her a glass of juice and Athena broke her fixed gaze on Damon to stare at the girl that just offered her a glass of juice. "Seriously, Leila?" She asked and the girl chuckled."It's mixed." She said and Athena nodded and drank the content immediately."Make it stronger," Athena said, dropping the glass on the counter.She has no idea why she's confused, getting married to Damon was the main reason she came here, she'd agreed to be his wife so they'd get revenge on the family that betrayed them all... Why then was she feeling all absurd when she thought about it? "Fuck!" She mused and took the second shot, "Give me tequila or vodka and make it really strong." She ordered again and the girl looked at her skeptically but she carried out her orders anyway. She needs to dri
Damon was woken up by the sound of the doorbell, his eyes flipped open, body recovering from the deep slumber. He observed his environment and began to wonder how he got to his room. Oh yeah, he'd woken up at his office earlier in the morning and came straight to bed. It looks like his body finally yielded to rest. It feels good to have a good sleep after a long while. He checked his wrist watch and his eyes widened, "Past ten in the morning! How the hell did I sleep like that?!" He muttered the question in awe.He was distracted again by the reason he'd woken up... The doorbell. He reached for the control key near his bed and tapped it, the door opened up. The room was dimly lit so he had no idea who just entered but the smell of coffee did brighten his spirit.What's better than a cup of coffee... Hopefully, it would be the big mug, he's still very weak. What kind of dangerous drink combination did he have at the party last night?!He reached blindly for the light control and pres
"You think it's wise to go in disguise huh?" Athena asked later that evening as they ate in one of the private dining rooms in the Villa."Yeah, for my mission to be possible, I need to go in disguise, that's the best I can think of. Also, it would suit everything perfectly." Damon replied, his eyes fixed on his laptop.Today would be the last day he'll have time to do whatever he pleases, once he gets back to the States, things would get busy for him. "And for how long do you plan to keep up with the disguise?" She asked, sipping her drink."For as long as it takes me to get what I want." He replied."And what do you want exactly?" Damon ignored the question and continued to tap on his laptop. He had no intention of bringing work to dinner but he was totally helpless. "I know you have trust issues but we're in this together and hiding some information from me won't help, I don't even know my role in this whole thing. I'm going to meet my family after so many years and I still don'
Taking in a deep quiet breath, she asked"What exactly did the Carney's family do to you? There's more to this whole vengeance stuff and I'm sure of it." She added and after a few seconds of Damon's gothic glare, he sighed. "You're right darling, there's more and it's that more that's making me bitter. I would have easily moved ahead but I could not, that family tainted my family's name, Mr. Carney rubbished my family name and destroyed it..." He paused and smiled at the shocked-looking woman."I don't have time for that family, especially after their last attempt on my life but after I found out that they were the reason for my lifelong suffering, my family ruination and death... I couldn't help it, I just wanted to ruin the man who was responsible for my family's perils." He added.Damon walked back to his seat and sat down without another word, telling Athena everything wasn't the problem, he'd tried to keep everything in him ever since he found out. In a real sense, he doesn't lik
