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
"I don't think you'll treat me better, you'll end up just like them, so leave my scenery this instant!" Electra warned but the four men surrounding her only laughed."And how did your ex-lovers end up, love?" The masculine voice asked again."Dead," Danom let out coldly and the four men along with Electra turned towards him.Athena cocked her brow upon sighting Frank with some guys, she knew she'd heard that voice before, but she could not just place it, well, the evening would be another round of entertainment again, there's no boring moment with Damon around ever since she came here."Damon?" Frank called in almost a whisper, his eyes unable to conceal the shock of seeing him there, the shock later turned to anger when he remembered the last encounter he had with him. Just because of him, his father has cut off all sources of his income, his account has been blocked, and he now has a very low position in his own company just because of Damon and his wife! "Hello, Frank, it feels ni
"Athena..." Mr. Carney called immediately Athena and Damon stepped into the Villa.A low frown appeared on Damon's face and the same action goes for Athena. "Good evening, Dad." She said, stepping down the steps."Where the hell did you disappear to, you were supposed to have dinner with one of the clients, why did you leave without informing me?" He asked and Athena cocked her brow. "I told you before Dad that I would not be able to make it, I am not interested in having any sort of dinner with anyone and if he wants to discuss anything meaningful, he can always come to my office and we can talk about it, I don't think it's necessary to have dinner with him." She explained."What is wrong with you, Athena, do you know how embarrassing it was for Dad to make dinner plans in your name and you end up ruining everything?! We could have lost a good client because of you." Celena huffed and rolled her eyes at her sister."Since you knew it was so important, you could have done a great jo
"Boss, you have to come home soon, we need you here and I am not quipping," Trevor said through a video call and Damon nodded with a smile. "I'll be home soon, Trev, I'm almost done with what I came here for, how's everyone doing?" Damon asked. "We're good, we just want our boss back, it's not funny anymore, you can't leave your empire here and go over there only to be treated like trash. I am trying my best to keep the videos that were been shot of you daily away from our family. Just imagine how they'll react once they find out. You need to end this whole thing. I'm getting tired of it, for real. " Trevor complained bitterly and Damon just smiled at him."It will soon be over, Trevor and that's a promise, also about the videos, don't worry about it, I'll handle it, I'll have them taken down soon, I know I'm taking time but that's because I don't want to do anything wrong, keep calm Trev. How's the Empire treating you?" He asked, trying to divert the topic, if he gives Trevor an op
