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
"I'm gonna be needing a tremendous dress, I am in need of a fashionable dress, the latest and the most beautiful, Athena, you've got to help me, please." Electra pleaded in the car and Athena exchanged looks with Damon.Damon pulled over at the car park as Electra kept whining to Athena, they'd come to the biggest fashion house in the city to select good clothes. They'd left the house very early in the morning but everything got delayed because of Electra. It's still morning; just a few minutes to twelve."You bet with Trevor, right?." Damon asked Electra as he stepped out of the car and the woman shot her head towards Damon. "How did you know, was it your idea?" Electra asked suspiciously and Athena chuckled."Why would he get involved with you two? I'm sure he just made a lucky guess, right Damon ?" Athena asked and the young man just shrugged. "I did not guess, I am pretty sure she made a bet with Trevor. Electra isn't the type to care about her dressing, I know her and her natur
"What, Damon?" She questioned her husband, eyes filled with tears that threatened to fall and it was at this point that Damon knew that his wife was hurt and that's a sin. "You shall shop here, dear." He said coldly and Athena cocked her brow. "That's not necessarily again honey, we can always shop elsewhere, I can't tolerate this rude woman." Athena huffed, looking at Linda who was staring angrily at her."If you don't like her, she'll be the one to leave and not you." He declared, turning to Linda who looked somewhat surprised."And how do you intend to do that, Damon?" A familiar feminine voice asked and they all turned to see Celena heading towards them. Athena cursed inwardly and immediately blinked back the tears in her eyes. She's not crying because of her own pain but because of the humiliation, her husband was going through. "Mr. Damon, it's like you're hallucinating, I am an important part of this organization and I don't think you can do anything about my position, kin
