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
"I'm willing to give you a blank check and one of my companies in Africa but in return, you should divorce Tatiana and leave her for good." Mr. Carney's deep voice interrupted his thought and he shot his head towards his direction, feigning shock.The shocked expression on his face gave Mr. Carney hope, so he asked, "Deal or no deal, Damon?"Athena huffed and rushed towards her father, "What's the meaning of this Mr. Carney? Do you always have to show off your wealth at the slightest opportunity given? Damon is my husband and I would not allow you or anyone to intimidate him." She blurted out, her eyes throwing daggers at her father."Watch how you talk to me young lady, I am your father!" Mr. Carney warned."Mind your tongue when you talk about my husband! I would not allow you to belittle him, he's my husband and the earlier all of you get that fact, the better for all of us. Plus, the last time I remembered, I didn't have a father. My father is dead to me." She countered."What is w
A low yawn escaped Damon's mouth as he woke up, his body felt tired but he was still very much relieved and there was a lot of energy to begin another day. He felt a movement beside him and he turned to Athena's sleeping face. The woman had done so much for him and he wished there was something more he could do to help her. She'd stand up to her crazy annoying parents for him, disregard her family for him though the Carneys family doesn't deserve any form of regard and he'll show them where they belong soon enough. "Stop staring at me like that or I'll think you've fallen in love with me," Athena murmured in a sleepy voice and opened her eyes to reveal those enchanting and bewitching blue."You look beautiful." He commented with a smile, "And I don't mind falling in love with you." He added with a smirk and Athena raised her middle finger to his face. "Fuck you dude, that felt so real." She said with a laugh, taking a sitting position on the bed. "Fuck you too, wifey." He said wi
"What in the name of the good Lord! Who the hell am I seeing?!" O'l James exclaimed aloud upon sighting Damon from afar.Damon smiled as he walked up to the man he'd first considered a father in the slums."O'l James, it's me, in flesh and blood," Damon said with a grin upon noticing the broad smile the man was giving him. "God! I thought we lost you to riches, my man! Those them evil rich ass holes didn't succeed in ending your story I see." O'l James said, tapping Damon's shoulder in welcome. "They couldn't, they're too slow..." Damon paused and turned to Athena and Electra who were standing and watching the whole scenario."Come girls, meet O'l James, you can call him James though, he never likes to be called old," Damon said, introducing the man who's all smiles."Hello, James. I'm Athena, Damon's wife." Athena introduced herself, offering him a handshake.O'l James took the hand and shook it warmly with a smile, "You two did make a great comeback yesterday, the media is raining
"I had always hated suits, I love to be in free clothes, I feel suffocated right now." Athena complained, trying to adjust her clothes as she stared at herself in the mirror."You'll be fine, bae, you'll soon get used to it," Damon said, stepping out of the dressing room."I doubt, I've never liked it and I don't think I'll start now, I don't mind wearing my night dress to work, this is so uncomfortable." She whined and Damon sighed."We'll go shopping for corporate boxy suites once we're done with today's work, how about that?" He asked."Yeah please, I won't survive in this for long... I wish we could skip today and resume tomorrow." She said with a groan. "You're not the boss baby and as long as my brain serves me right, we were to resume work today. Now stop whining and put on that bold fierce face for me." "Fine, I'm doing this..."She got cut in by the sound of the doorbell, "Who's that?" She inquired."Your worst nightmare bae." Electra's voice rang from outside.With a smile
Deep whispers welcomed Damon and Athena immediately as they entered the main company's building.They went to register their name and the deep whisperers increased the more. Athena could hear some of their talks and she was trying hard to ignore it but she knew that she'd probably snap soon because the trash they were saying was too much. "He's a greedy one, just imagine how shameless he'd become, after he married the first one and when he didn't get what he bargained for, he went for another. What a man!" A female voice said."I don't know how a lowlife like him gets a chance with such a beautiful and wealthy woman. He's lucky in everything except wealth, you'll see, she would soon get tired of him too. Celena got tired, it would only be a matter of time before she did too." Another chipped in. "No matter how good he looks and how much of a great fucker he is, things would go wrong. We'll be here to witness another sad and dramatic divorce." A male voice added and Athena turned.H
A Month Later. (In the Carneys Empire; The Conference Room)"Good day ladies and gentlemen, I'm sure you all know why we're gathered here today." Mr. Carney declared, his eyes scanning everyone sitting.There were a total of eleven people sitting around the huge glass table. They were either shareholders or an important part of the Carneys Empire. "Dad, I don't think it would be possible to get a share in the new company, the company is founded by elites all over the world, powerful people who would not even take a glance at our company. I don't think this is a good idea, Dad." Celena said, her fingers tapping the huge glass table."We can't just give up without trying, our empire is a reputable empire and it's among the first five best in the corporate world, I strongly think that we should give it a trial, you never knew, things might get in our favor and I'm sure you know how good this will be for our business, getting a partnership with them would mean a lot, our Empire can fina
