Damon's cheek burnt due to the intensity of the slap he was given, he had no idea what the general was talking about. Did he expect him to hug and kiss the man who wanted to kill him? He hadn't intended to kill him, everything he did was purely based on self-defense and survival instincts. “Bloody bastard!” The general spat angrily.A few men came and saw the scene in front of them, the general turned to look at them, his eyes blazing with anger.“What's the meaning of this? Who sent Larry into this room?” He asked, but none of the men could answer.“Get rid of the body now and let this be the last time this silly prank should be played in my base. For your punishments, two hundred push-ups in the training ground now!” He ordered, and one of the men immediately picked up Larry's body.Damon noticed the hateful glare they all gave him before they left the room. He had so many questions to ask, but there was no one to ask. Most of his body weight was relaxed on the wall, and he was
A large man lifted Damon and dropped him hard on the boxing ring floor, made a high jump, and landed on his body. A loud deep cheering voices of men could be heard, they were cheering for the bigger man while Damon clutched his stomach that's In a mess. Every part of him was in pain, and he knew more pain would come, that had been the routine now for months, the general would give him an opposition and whenever he wins, he sets him up with bigger ones. The man he's currently facing is Larry's elder brother, the man he'd killed by mistake five months ago, and he's bent on killing him now to avenge his silly dead brother. Larry was General Leo's messenger and secretary, they'd all played a trick on him that night to scare him, but their prank backfired on them when he died. They were punished severely for trying such dirty pranks on the base, and hence Damon already made himself a whole bunch of enemies before he stepped out of his hospital bed. They've not made life easy for him,
Damon's eyes widened when he saw the supposed hideout of the criminals that kidnapped Sia; it was a clubhouse bustling with life and energy. He checked his phone again, and the location given by the general was pointing exactly at that clubhouse. The clubhouse was close to the city, so it wouldn't be that suspicious if he decided to go in. Something in his head whispered, ‘This is a suicide mission’ And he couldn't agree more with the voice, everyone on the base had wished him farewell, some even betting on his life and most people bet on the fact that he won't come back alive. The general had personally dropped him off before he zoomed off to the city, he'd told him he'd wait for him at that same spot in the next four hours, and if he doesn't come out in the next four hours, he'd consider him dead and from the intensity in his voice, he'd meant every word he said. He took a deep breath and began to head towards the clubhouse, he began to wonder what Sia came to do here that led to
The whole club was in disarray, everyone hustled out of the club in abundance, Damon was furious with himself for being sluggish in reaching Sia. He looked for other alternatives to go into the room but there was no success, the club was huge, with different sections but this particular room had no other entrance but the door alone. He uttered profanity angrily and kicked the door violently resulting in it giving in, he was surprised that the door opened, since the door was opened, it only means one thing, it was unlocked moments before it was locked because he'd tried to open it several times before. He looked back to be sure everything was going as planned and began to move inside steadily, he can't kill anyone but that doesn't mean he can't get killed. Darn General Leo for this! If he dies, his blood would be in his hands, not that the general cares, he had hundreds of blood in his hands so it won't matter a bit to him. "Let me go, let me go!!!" A female voice shrieked, her vo
Damon stared at the moving Sia in awe, she just killed two men without any form of remorse, she'd taken two lives in less than a minute and she was walking away without even giving a second glance. He shook off the surprise and began to rush towards her, his mind thinking about a lot of things. He had no idea who Sia was because from what she'd done a few minutes ago, she was more than the shy, lovely, and ever-smiling Sia, right now she looks cold and murderous. "Which way to go, weakling?" She asked, turning to face him once they were out of the room.Damon arched his brow, "What did you just say?" He asked, giving her a blank stare. "I'm just asking you which way to go, no need to give me such looks." She purred and he gave her a scornful look. "Since you're the boss, why don't you lead the way." He said in mockery."Don't play games with me, boy, I could kill you and no one would know." She threatened, dangling the gun in her hand. "Just do it, believe me... I don't give a fu
Damon watched the general stroll away, fury seeping into him from different directions. Rage is the only weapon he has and to make things more deteriorating, he can't act on the anger. Why can't they just authorize him to put a shot in the general's head? Everyone would have a relaxed mind in the base. "Woah! Someone's burning." A voice mocked with a deep chuckle and Damon veered around to give the person a dirty glare. "One more word from you and I'll make you consume your tongue, bloody scoundrel! Why the fuck can't you all mind your business!? Don't you think it's too late to get bloody?" He asked, his glare still locked on the man. He had no idea what his name is but he's sure they've been put against each other before and from that experience alone, he should stay away from him or he'll vent the anger he has in general on him. "Cool it off man and congratulations on your triumphant mission." A calm voice muttered, patting Damon's shoulder. Damon looked back and saw Trevor, "
Damon's eyes were fixed on the general and Sia who are conversing in hushed tones, they appeared so engrossed in the discussion that they seem to have forgotten that he was there. He sighed, sipping on the wine he was given, his mind filled with questions and his body seemed to be in discomfort. He needs to shower but those superiors don't think he requires any form of bath or rest after sending him on a mission. Why would he call him here when in the actual sense, it was Sia he intended to speak with, the man would never cease to amaze and punish him. Despite their hushed discussion, he could still hear some of their sentences, when it comes to sharp hearing, his ears pick sounds. "Damon?" He heard a calm voice call him and he looked up, once he saw the general, he immediately stood up."Yes, general?" "Sit. Don't worry about the rules if you're here in my house." He said with an amused expression.Damon's inside burned with more questions and he wished to have them answered. Th
FOUR MONTHS LATER."My body is demanding a long rest, Sia but I can't consent to the request," Damon muttered, emptying his mug of beer. They're in the army base bar for a drink after a hectic day at work, Damon looks wry while Sia just stares at him with admiration. "You know, you're one strong man, yeah, I know the general meant well for you but fuck! You're getting drained, look at you... You study, train, go on different deadly missions, and still carry out your duty in his office. I'll want to be like you when I grow up." She teased and Damon gave her a smirk. "In a way, I love everything I'm doing but I still feel shitty sometimes. When I'm working or studying, I just wish to give in to laziness and sleep like a baby." He muttered and she chortled.Damon grinned, he still asks himself sometimes how he and Sia get to be so close, he just sees himself warming up to her suddenly, he still has his reserves but they're on good talking time.It turns out Sia was staying in the gene
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
