"Oh, no darling. I came here for two things." He announced grabbing the attention of Celena Victor."Huh?" Celena whispered in a daze. "You heard me right. Once you're done signing those papers, I'm getting married again. I thought it best I move ahead like you." Damon replied with sarcasm.Celena and Victor exchange glances and begin to laugh. "Oh Lord, which woman in her right senses would want to marry a pathetic poor man like you? Who's your bride Damon and where is she?" Celena asked, still laughing. Athena cursed inwardly, interlocking her arm with Damon's, "Me sister, I'm his bride and I'm standing right here beside him, where I belong." She said proudly and Celena and Victor's smile froze. Damon ravished the shocked expression on the face of Celena, she'd always had the ability to conceal her expression but right now, she could not, she was practically in a state of shock. "What's wrong little sis, are you jealous that I'm gonna have your man?" Athena teased chuckling and
"Tatiana! How can you say such a despicable thing from your mouth?! Do you wish me dead, when did you become so cold-hearted?" Mrs. Carney asked in awe.Athena rolled her eyes, "It's surprising that you people have no idea that you turned me into whatever I am today. You guys ruined me for your precious princess here because you thought she was the best." Athena said with a bitter giggle, her head flooding with memories of the past. When her mother heard what she said, she began to cry more loudly. Damon sighed softly, this family and drama... Mrs. Carney is doing all this because there are cameras everywhere. She's playing the emotional mother who just found her long-lost daughter. Gawd! That family is just impossible! She began to sob again, "I'm your mother!" She said aloud, trying to reach her. "A big mistake on your path. Now stop with the silly drama or I'll start shouting aloud too accusing you of all the things you've done to me. All the trauma I've been through because o
"TATIANA'S WEDDING SHALL NOT HAPPEN." Mr. Carney declared, his eyes furious and filled with hatred as he stared at Damon. "MY WEDDING SHALL TAKE PLACE OR THINGS WILL GO WRONG." Athena asserted, her eyes boring into that of her father's."What has come over you?!" Celena asked, moving to face her sister squarely, anger burning every part of her. "I don't understand your questions, darling. Since when do you care about what has come over me? Since when do you care, Celena because as long as I remember, you never cared about my existence, so why would you care now?!" Athena fired angrily, her arm still interlocked with Damon's. "Oh Lord! Are you hearing yourself speak? Why would you think we don't care about what you do with your life? Do you have the slightest idea about what Mom and Dad went through after you left?!" Celena asked angrily."Are you hearing yourself lie? I don't care what anyone says about my choice but I'd like all of you to know that Damon is my choice and he'll alw
Mr. Carney looked at the eyes scrutinizing them with curiosity from afar and sighed. It's best if he ends this now, delaying would only damage his reputation and his reputation means everything to him. He doesn't want a stain in his name because he had plans regarding the state and for the plan to succeed, he'll need a clean chit. Nothing should stain his white. He'd sacrifice a lot, kill, and do all ungodly things to get to where he is today. He won't allow a pile of rubbish from nowhere and his delusional daughter to ruin everything for him. "I have nothing against you coming back, you are always welcome to stay baby but that thing beside you won't come with you. You're my daughter and you have an equal right just like Celena but you won't come back with that trash by your side, he won't step into my home again." Mr. Carney declared and Athena just scoffed. Damon was getting tired of this unnecessary drama, he didn't come here to be involved in so much drama. With a little sigh,
The situation in the Carney family Villa was a very tense one, everyone sat down quietly waiting for the unwelcomed newlyweds to come home. The atmosphere reeks of fear, anger, and regret. The four people sitting in the sitting room were in deep thoughts on how to handle the present problem that had come into their lives because they knew that if nothing was done about it, the problem would become a gigantic cataclysm. Damon is a catastrophe and his new wife is a disruption and the Carneys have no space in their life for both of them. "Mom, we should not have allowed that wedding, I just hope we don't repent for this drastic decision we made today," Celena said, palming her face in frustration."Baby, you need to calm down about this, we'll take care of it," Victor assured his worried-looking wife.Celena looked up and gave him a venomous look, "Don't just tell me to calm down okay, you're the whole reason this is happening. First, your silly boys made the mistake of not ending him
"Dad, you don't know Damon. I know him and I know he's up to something. His coming back along with Tatiana is not just ordinary and did you see the kind of authority she'd talked to us? That's not her talking but Damon, Damon might look calm and all but he can be an evil jerk if he's messed with. We can't just give them a free hand or ignore them...""Celena, you're thinking too deep into this, there's nothing Damon can do to us. Do you know who we are? We're the elites of this country, the world knows us... They can't do anything, I'm sure of it." Victor said, cutting Celena in. "Just shut up Victor, I know Damon, not you. None of you here knows Damon, he's a crook, I won't be enjoying some God-forsaken honeymoon and watching him destroy this family. I will stay here and that's final." She said with a note of finality and sat down again. "Oh God! What's wrong with you?!" Victor asked angrily, looking at his wife in awe."Nothing is wrong with me, I'm just trying to protect my famil
It was almost dusk, a taxi halted in front of the Carneys Villa. "Well, nothing has changed much around here," Athena said with a loud yawn as she stepped out of the taxi holding some filled shopping bags. "You sure, wifey? It's been a long time since you left here, baby." Damon asked as he handed some wards of dollars to the taxi driver who immediately zoomed away. "Oh please, as long as the inhabitants haven't changed, I don't see the villa changing." She replies honestly and Damon chuckles."Let me help you with that." Damon offered, stretching his hands towards his new bride. "Nah, I'm good, you can help Electra, she's holding more bags than me." Athena refused, gesturing towards Electra whose eagle eyes were observing her new environment. An assassin's blood would never leave Electra, Athena smiled and called, "Electra, Damon wishes to help you with holding some bags." Electra looked towards the two and smiled, "I'm fine, don't worry bos..."Damon cleared his throat to cut
"Hey, Ayden. Don't worry, you're seeing clearly." Damon teased upon seeing his brother-in-law's reaction upon seeing him. "Oh, God! Not again!!" He bewailed. Athena chuckled and said, "Ayden really hates you.""Yeah baby, he sure does," Damon replied, his eyes zeroing in on Ayden whose face was contoured with nothing but fear.Ayden still could not comprehend what was going on, his sister was happily grinning with her ex-husband... Did Damon become some kind of an evil monster and hypnotize Celena? Celena was supposed to get married today, she should be with Victor, smiling with Victor, and not with this loser. Is Damon even human? How's he still alive and what has he come back for? He'd come back to the family that would not hesitate to kill him again if they got the chance. Ayden couldn't find questions to his answers and the three people in front of him were looking at home as if he'd gone crazy. Left with no choice, he did what he should have done since, he turned around and w
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
