"What are you saying, Mario... We've come too far for this. You can't allow him..." He said pointing to Damon who was looking at him with zero amusement," You can't allow him to separate us. You can't allow him to create a feud between us, we just can't allow this, Mario, we've been through tough times together." Victor said, his voice low and pleading."We've been through tough times, Victor, and I'm not disputing that fact but you should know that some relationships run deeper than anything and when it comes to Mr. Damon here, there's nothing that would ever make me go against him, nothing at all, not even you, Victor, not even you." He maintained, his voice cold as his eyes. "I can't believe you are doing this to our friend...""Just shut up, shut your trap. Just do what you need to do and stop wasting our time. You went into this bet with your whole senses and now that you have lost the bet, you're unwilling to take punishment, you won't escape this one Victor, we won't allow it
All eyes turned to Athena and then Victor whose eyes were on the verge of dropping on the floor. How's he so damned?! "And I mean every word I've said, I have nothing to lose in any way, you guys never valued me, I can always sell my idea to other empires and I'm pretty sure they are more than willing to buy." She added, staring at her father whose back was turned to her. Mr. Carney turned to look at her daughter in awe, it was like Athena had just said something abominable. Something that was despicable and should not be heard but he heard it and hence turned to make sure he heard it right. Maybe he misheard everything because this isn't possible, how dare she say such words. "What are you saying, Athena?" Her father asked coldly, his eyes filled with anger."You heard me right, Dad. You're supporting what's wrong, you all are supporting what's wrong. Had it been my husband, you all would raise hell but because Victor is rich and powerful, you want me to keep quiet and watch him g
"YOU SHALL DO IT SON OR YOUR YOUNGER BROTHER WILL BE THE NEW HEIR." A loud voice said boldly and Victor's body shook. He knew that he'd been defeated because he recognized the male voice that had penetrated the crowd. All eyes followed the voice except for Damon who smiled and looked for a seat to relax and enjoy the new entrance. There's no escape route for Victor now. He wanted to laugh like a maniac but he didn't, he just crossed his legs, took a glass of wine, relaxed his back on the seat, and was ready to watch the final episode of the night's drama. "Mr. Mario, it's a pleasure to have you here, it's been a long time since we saw each other." Mr. Danien, Victor's father said with a wide smile as he brought forth his hand towards Mario for a handshake. Mario took the hand and shook it, then smiled... Damon watched the sinister smile Mario was giving Mr. Damien. People might consider the smile to be genuine but Damon knew there was nothing genuine about that crook smile. "It's
Victor cursed inwardly, he would not apologize to Damon, he would never do that, however, he was not ready to lose his inheritance, so without giving himself a chance to create fear in his mind, he moved towards Athena, grabbed the papers from her hand, took a deep breath and lowered his head to cut the papers to eat. "Gotcha!" Damon said with a chuckle and Victor gave him a venomous look as he chewed on the paper slowly, face burning in rage as the cameras in the room turned fully on him. Damon watched in delight, his face gleaming with a devilish twinkle that only seemed to make Victor angry as he chewed on the papers. He's not even halfway through the first paper and he seems to want to pass out, everyone present could see that the whole thing was not only a humiliation to Victor but a huge slap to his face and pride, plus a punishment."Do you want wine or water? It sure is a tasty meal." Abigail asked with a chuckle and Victor threw her a deadly glare. "Enough with the empty
The next few days had been quite a dramatic one for the Carney family, the media were bustling with the drama that took place a few days ago at the party and different memes were being made about Victor's humiliation.Back at the company, Mr. Carney is all over the moon because of the contract he'd just signed and the media visits them from time to time to get an interview from them in relation to the contract and the son-in-law's embarrassing moments at the party. Damon had been quite busy with his own Empire workload, not being there in person had its disadvantages but he's here for a course and he's happy that he's making a major headway when it comes to it. A light knock on the door made him tear his eyes away from the laptop to the door, his office wasn't as big as the office back in Italy. His current office is so small that if it were added together to get the one in Italy, one would need to add like seven of it but he's not complaining, he's perfectly comfortable because he
With the loud click of his cabinet, Damon stood up with a loud yawn and looked at his wristwatch, it read a few minutes past four and a low sigh escaped his mouth. There is still a lot of work to be done, it's not in relation to the company but his own empire. Doctor Alec is unwilling to make some major decisions without him being there and no matter how much he persuades him, he would never accept. "Tiring day and it's gonna be a tiring night, when do I get to rest, even if it's for a while." He mused to himself and began to pack the files to take home. Once he's home, he'll sort out all the work that's pending in relation to his empire.Being a leader isn't easy and it would never be easy, one wrong decision from him and many would be affected and that's what he'd been trying to avoid. He knows mistakes are not avoidable but he's giving his all to avoid them as much as he can. The door clicked open and Damon's eyes shot towards the direction. He smiled when he saw the very tired A
Damon opened the car door for Athena and she stepped out with a broad smile, "It's such a beautiful evening over here in the slum." Athena observed and Damon nodded in agreement.The evening here is always beautiful around this time of the year and no one could know better than Damon, he'd lived his childhood and teenage life in the slum, "Yeah, it sure is, however, you would not want to step out into this area around seven in the evening." He broadcasted and Athena looked up at him in question."Why? Are there evil spirits possessing the body around that time?" She asked with a humor-filled voice."Nope, there is nothing as such, the thing is that you'll be robbed blind if you dare come out, people living over here are super smart because they had to grow up at a very young age. Celena came here once to look for me because I was absent from lectures and my phone wasn't reachable, they rubbed her so badly that she cried for days till I got everything they stole from her." He narrated
"Wow, this place is so cool!" Electra chipped excitedly immediately as they stepped out of the car, her eyes roving all over the restaurant Damon had brought them. "Yeah, it is. " Athena agreed, looking around the place. "It's a beautiful place, simple and unique, I know you'll like it," Damon muttered as he shut the car door. Athena nodded with a half smile and moved towards Electra who was already taking pictures of the beautiful environment they found themselves in. She's trying hard not to get annoyed over what Damon had said but no matter how hard she tries, she can't. Something in her told her that the whole thing was just Damon being Damon but there's still a stubborn babyish side of her that will not agree. Damon cocked his brow, wondering what was up with Athena, she'd been behaving oddly ever since, the drive here was almost a silent one if not for Electra that brings up a topic every now and then. Maybe she's still provoked over the little issues they had a few minutes
