"Yes, Samuel... Did they get it? I mean they didn't mention any contract to us." Mr. Carney inquired."You all never gave us a chance to speak, sir," Damon said and the shocked-looking Mr. Carney who was trying to hide his surprise nodded in affirmation and smiled. Damon clenched his fist and smiled back. He wishes to see that smile disappear and he'll do it soon. "Enough of the blah blah blah, stop explaining to them, just show them already," Abigail said, went towards the television, and turned it on. Abigail was about to change the channel when Ayden shouted, "Holy shit!!!" All eyes turned towards his direction, Ayden's eyes were focused on his phone, mouth slightly agape."What's wrong, Ayden?" His mother asked, moving towards the young man who looked up at them, and opened his mouth to talk but could not."Mother... You won't believe this... God! How?!" He asked, turning to look at Damon and then back at Athena who was just looking blankly at him. "What's wrong, honey?" Mr.
Damon sighed, took in a deep breath, and let Victor go with a shove. "Don't ever do that, if you hold my collars again or do anything that you know you shouldn't, it won't be good for you. Don't ever try such shits." Damon warned, his eyes blazing into Victor who was looking at his hurt wrists."So, how are we going to celebrate this great news? This is the best news and I'm sure you all have plans for it. The world needs to know that the Carney family is back and we're back for real this time and it's all thanks to Athena and her husband." Abigail said excitedly. Damon sighed, turned to his wife, and said, "I think we should go in, you need your rest, it has been a hectic day for you." "Yeah, we should rest." Athena agreed, she was beginning to get tired of the drama too. They couldn't even celebrate good news without any form of drama.She moved towards her dad and handed her some files she was holding, "Here's the contract papers, they entail everything you need to know. They inf
"Congratulations, you did great Tatiana." One of Athena's maternal aunts congratulated her. "Thank you, Aunt Mellie, my name's now Athena and not Tatiana, if you call me Tatiana again, I might not respond," Athena said with a forced smile.Her aunt nodded to the correction, they've all been ordered not to make the young lady angry because Athena does lots of shits when angry. Damon observed the huge party venue, everything about the place screams wealth and more wealth. The Carneys left no stone unturned when it came to the party, they spent recklessly and it was worth the money. Everything about the party was beautiful and unique. His eagle eyes scanned everyone present, he was getting bored of the party already and when he looked at his watch, he knew that the party had merely started. Many of the guests were bringing loads of gifts to Mr and Mrs. Carney for their anniversary and Athena was receiving hundreds and hundreds of congratulations from different directions.She looks tir
However, instead of Mario taking her handshake, he said aloud, "Oh Lord, Electra!" Electra who had been observing the scene gave Mario a bored smile and looked at her boss. Damon sighed... Another trouble.What the hell is Mario doing here? Mario recognizes Electra... Then he'll definitely recognize his boss. Damon knows immediately that his identity is at stake, just one greeting tradition in the Mafia would ruin everything because Mario can not see the boss and not do the traditional greeting. ‘Fuck!’ Damon cussed internally, he wanted to cancel that silly tradition. How the hell did he forget? "Hey, Mario. Long time, what's up with you?" Electra said with a half smile.The surprised Mario went closer to her and gave her a playful punch, "I've been good, you just vanished like that. Since you're here, I'm sure the boss must be around, where the hell has he been, I've been trying to get through to him." Mario asked and Electra swallowed hard. This wasn't such a good place to me
"Damon, are you already scared of meeting my friend?" Victor asked and Damon sighed. ‘Victor is indeed stupid.’ The inner voice in his head concluded. He decided to do what he didn't want to do, there wasn't much of a choice anyway... With that resolution in mind, he turned around to face Mario, it looked like his game might end there because his secret identity would be exposed. Mario's eyes widened as he saw his boss looking at him blankly, he was lost in so much daze staring deep into his eyes. How was this possible? Mario immediately lowered his eyes, it was like a sin to look into the Don's eyes, despite Damon having no regard for the rule, it was a rule most couldn't disregard. Athena didn't know what to do as she saw the scene in front of her, it was like her brain had stopped functioning at that moment. In a matter of seconds, Mario would definitely say and do the traditional greetings and that would ruin the whole plan. "Bo..." "Oh God!!!" Athena screamed and interru
"You think I'm joking huh?" He asked angrily. "No, I don't think you're joking, I just think you lack the sense to think I'll be afraid of him or anyone you'll bring. Go fuck yourself, Victor." Damon said and was about to move away when Victor blocked his way. "And where did you think you're going, you fool?" Victor asked and Damon cocked his brow. "Move away from him, Victor or the consequences will be dire." A deep male voice ordered and due to chills and familiarity of the voice, he looked around and saw Mario's burning eyes. There was nothing but pure shock on Victor's face. Did he hear him wrong or was he just imagining things? The look Mario was giving him was enough to end someone's life, maybe, just maybe, he wasn't giving him the looks, maybe he was giving the looks to Damon. Victor turned around to face Damon again but the man was looking expressionless as usual, he looked at Athena and she wore that silly smirk of hers that he'd grown to hate. "You didn't hear me, di
Damon smirk faded and his dark eyes looked deep into Celena's light blues, "I'm not after you, Celena Victor, if I am to be after you, you'll not be here right now. So stop playing the victim card here because you and I know very well who the victim of this game is." He said, giving her looks that seemed to penetrate her soul. Seeing the dark looks Damon was giving her, she took a few steps backward. How did her life get jinxed with a man as demonic and evil as Damon and how would she get rid of him? She knew Damon would destroy her if she didn't destroy him soon. "What's going on? Hello, Mr. Mario, are you experiencing any discomfort here?" Mr. Carney asked, smiling broadly at Mario whose eyes seemed to want to burn Victor down. "Dad, your son-in-law is the only problem here, can you believe that he disobeyed you?!" Athena said dramatically and Damon wished to sit and enjoy the drama but could not.Mr. Carney looked at his two sons-in-law and asked, "What are you talking about Ath
Athena sighed, looked at Damon who only gave her a blank stare, and then looked at Victor who smiled at her. She sighed again and began to move towards the stage saying, "I think I have an announcement to make. It's high time I put an end to all this." "Athena! What's wrong with you?" Abigail asked, drawing her back."What do you mean, I just want to make an announcement, is it bad?" She questioned, her eyes boring into Abigail's own. "Don't tell me you allowed whatever shit this stupid man said to get into your head. Damon might be just a commoner but you'll never find a better man than him, Celena made the mistake once and I know deep down that he's regretting everything right now, you should not make that same mistake too, sweet love." Abigail advised and Celena who'd been quiet the whole time flared up. "What the hell are you talking about, what made you think I'll regret divorcing trash like him? I would never and shall never regret it, I don't care what any of you think but D
