(A week later)"We have visitors, boss," Electra announced to Damon who was busy talking with his mother. Damon turned to look at Electra and a quick eye communication passed between them. Damon turned to his mother and said, "I need to go now, Mom, I have a business to tend to, we'll talk later in the evening, ma'am." He said with a smile and Mrs. Hector looked at him suspiciously. "Is everything okay, son?" His mother asked, looking at him skeptically, she looked towards Electra who immediately gave her a smile that looked forced. Damon gave her the warmest smile and said, "Don't worry about me Mom, everything is perfectly fine, you should rest once you take your afternoon medicine, the girls...""Don't worry, I'll take care of her, just go." Athena interrupted him and when he looked at her, she gave him a warm smile."Won't you be needed there, darling?" Her mother-in-law asked her and she just shrugged."Don't worry Mom, she can stay with you, if we need her, we'll definitely
Damon looked at the silent Doctor Alec who seems to have gone on a vow of silence, with a cocked brow, he added asked, "What is the wrong doctor, Alec, is everything alright with you?" Doctor Alec, who seems to be in a daze, immediately snapped out of it, "Damon, I don't know how you will fight this battle ahead of you but I'm pretty sure that if you put your whole self in it, everything would be alright." He said, palming his face.Doctor Alec's reply only confused Damon the more and he couldn't help but give Doctor Alec a confused look, "What are you talking about, doctor Alec, you just pause your explanation only to jump into another one, what are you talking about, everything isn't making a suitable sense, whatever you just said seems like some crazy jigsaw and I need you to do an explanation that would put those crazy jigsaws together." Damon complained. He was already getting frustrated by the whole thing and it wasn't getting funny, doctor Alec was confusing him and he hates
The huge door leading into the meeting halls swung open as Damon approached, the guards standing by each side of the door bowed down as he entered. Trevor looked at his boss, his mouth itching to ask him questions but looking at the way his boss was, he decided to keep quiet and observe everything. He wonders how everything would go but something in him told him that the situation was beyond tense. A heavily built man opened the door leading to Damon's office after he bowed. Entering his office, he glanced at the three people sitting but his glance didn't linger for long as he went straight to his seat before facing the people. Electra was already there and Trevor joined her in her standing position, however, Damon indicated that they should sit down and they did without hesitation. "Welcome, Sia, it's been a long time after that ugly departure." Damon began, his dark gaze going towards Sia who looked back at him."Damon, it's been long and you haven't changed much despite the su
"I'm not going against the code and I am sure you and I know why I'm not allowing you to go..." He paused and stood up before he said, "I'm not letting you go because you went against the code by bringing weapons." Immediately the words left Damon's mouth, Electra and Trevor brought out their guns pointing them toward the three people, and within an eye blink, the door opened and many more guns were pointed at the guests. The three people who had guns pointed at them had this shocked expression on their faces that Damon couldn't help but chuckle. "What... What sort of nonsense is this Damon?" Sia asked, her voice uneven and yet angry. "Guns down guys, don't take such serious actions, keep calm everyone, keep calm... Guns down, everyone." Damon said and all other guns went down except for Electra's whose gun was still pointing straight at Draco's head. Damon saw this and grinned, he wasn't expecting less reaction from Electra, the woman was beyond crazy about his safety, "Electra,
Damon let out a deep-throated laughter and said, "You made a big mistake, Draco, you really made a big mistake. This is my country and you can not come to my territory to make rules or create chaos without my permission. You played the wrong game and now that I won, I'll show you what it means to be a master." Sia's eyes bulged open when she realized what was going on, her heartbeat quickened and her legs turned jelly, turning to look at Draco, she asked in a dry whisper, "What the hell have you done, Draco?" Damon grinned and ordered, "Take them away, make sure you make them undergo a tight security check before you dump them in the dungeon." "You can't do this Damon, we've done nothing wrong, what's wrong with you?!" Sia asked, struggling with the guards that had held her captive."You're making a big mistake Damon Hector, you're making a very huge mistake!" Draco huffed and Damon only scoffed at him. "Instead of bragging, why don't you tell your step-sister here your plans to ha
Damon sprinted crazily towards the healthcare wing of the Villa, his mind reeling in different directions, his heart was thumping violently against his chest and it was almost like he was running out of breath because of the speed he was using to run and the fear of what had happened to his mother. Immediately he left the office, he was directed to the hospital, he didn't care to find out what was the matter, all he knew was the fact that his mother was in danger and he wanted to be there by her side. As he neared the hospital wing, he was pointed to the room his mother was admitted to and he was rushing there only to be stopped by Doctor Alec who was coming out of the room. He wanted to shove the doctor away and see his mother but the man was stubbornly standing in the way, he looked the doctor straight in the eyes and ordered, "Move... Right now."Doctor Alec didn't budge, instead, he said, "We need to talk, Damon." Damon looked at him in irritation, "I don't have anything to dis
"Boss..." Electra called and Damon looked in her direction. He cocked his brow seeing the confusion and restlessness on her face. "I have something important to tell you, please, I can't hold it anymore, I've held it for too long." She blurted out hurriedly and Damon sighed.What exactly was going on?What bothers Electra so much? Damon disengaged from the hug and gave Athena his handkerchief to clean her face. He focused on Electra and he could say that for all the time he had been with and known Electra, he'd never seen her so nervous like that before, she was looking restless and everything scared. "What's wrong with you Electra? You're looking like shit girl." Trevor inquired worriedly. It could be seen that he was worried for Electra, in a way, he was scared for Electra, whatever was troubling Electra so much must definitely be wrong. Did she go against the rules?Did she betray the family? Trevor gave Electra a questionable look but the young woman just smiled at him... A
"I'm all ears doctor Alec, what do you wish to talk about?" Damon asked as he relaxed on his seat, his eyes on Doctor Alec who was sitting opposite him. Everyone was present in the office, Trevor was standing at the far corner of the room, his arms folded across his chest while Athena was sitting with Electra who was looking like shits. She was trying everything possible not to cry and thanks to Athena, she was keeping her emotions in check. Electra wasn't the type to lose control of herself, she'd always face her problems with boldness and courage, however, when it comes to Damon, she has no idea why she was losing herself. "First of all, I'd like to sincerely apologize to Electra for making her undergo such a serious emotional battle. It was her duty to tell you any information that might be of help to you but due to my fear, I made her swear not to tell you because I fear that you might not understand and also with the fact that I feel like I owe you an explanation for everything.
Wow. She was really getting a divorce. "Thank you." She mused, unable to look him straight in the face because she didn't want him to see the tears that clouded her eyes.Damon stood up and went closer to her before he sat down again, "I know I wasn't the best partner to you, I keep secrets but I did everything with your safety in mind Athena but still, I'm sorry and I want you to know that if you give me another chance in your life I'll be a better partner than I was when we faked our marriage." He stated and Athena shot her head up. "Wait, what? What are you talking about?" She asked in shock as she blinked back her tears."I'm not asking you to marry me but I want us to be in a relationship, and get to know each other before we walk down the aisle. If you don't like our relationship then you're free to walk out, I promise I'll not force you." He said and Athena's lip parted but no words came out."Say something, I know it's unlikely and believe me, I'm not asking you out because o
"So everything between you guys was faked?" Damon's mother asked in astonishment as Athena finished narrating everything to her. Damon sighed, he wasn't expecting his mother to find out this way. He wasn't even expecting Athena to ask for a divorce in this manner."Yes, Mom, it was all planned, our marriage was just a mere contract. A part of our plan to get me into this house." Damon answered with a sigh. "Wow, this is very surprising, I actually thought there was something deep between you two." Mrs. Hector said and Athena just smiled.She wished what her mother-in-law said was true but everything between her and Damon was a lie and now that everything was over, it was high time they ended everything. It was for the best. "Well, I don't have a say in what you two choose to do because you are all adults but don't you think you both make a compatible couple?" She asked and Damon cocked his brow. Great, here comes another pressure."Don't get me wrong Damon, I know that expression.
THREE WEEKS LATER. (At the Carneys Villa)"Damon, welcome darling, how was the case?" His mother asked as he entered the house, tired and hungry."It was a blast mom, didn't you watch it on TV?" Damon asked as his mother kissed his forehead.That's his mom's little ritual, kissing him on the cheeks or the forehead. He had tried to stop the little tradition because it was weird and for the fact that he was now a Boss but the older woman would have nothing of such, so he was stuck with it. "Welcome Teddy, she didn't watch it on television and she forbids anyone from telling her, she wishes to hear the news from you," Artemis said with a smile and Damon just beamed."Okay, so mom..." Damon began, clearing his throat, "We didn't only win the case, Dad's name is cleared and his company now bears his name, we are cleared Mom, our family name has been vindicated." He added and his mom began to sob and hugged his son. "Gosh! Mom!! Do you always have to cry at the slightest things?" Artemis
(Carneys Villa; same day) "I need an explanation, Damon, I really need an explanation, all this is driving me mad. How could you do that to me, you could have let me know about something, anything." Athena said in frustration as they both decided to retire for the night.Athena just doesn't understand anymore, she knows he doesn't like sharing his plans with anyone and she's not asking him to share any plans with her, all she requested was a brief info about what would happen, that is all she wanted, and nothing more... Nothing more at all. How could he always place her in a tight situation, why can't he just give her a heads-up about what would happen, why?"I'm sorry, I'm sorry alright, I just don't want to mess anything up, I know I should have told you..." "But you didn't! You didn't find it important find fucking tell you. I might not be your real wife but you could have told me because of the fact that I am your friend and I am your fucking partner in this task, don't I hold a
"Just look at you baby, you're a mess, how could you allow those people to bash you so hard?! That man...he's evil, you should not have gotten yourself involved with him, he's a devil, he...he was responsible for your dad's death, he's..." His mother said, breaking into another sob and holding his son tight. "Shhhh, it's okay mom, I'm here now and I'm perfectly fine. Don't worry, everything is fine, please stop crying now, Mom." Damon said and the mother withdrew from the hug, followed by his sister."Mom was so worried about you Teddy, she nearly passed out when she saw you getting bashed up badly by those men and he called that man..." Artemis said pointing at Mr. Carney who was in cuffs, "Evil, he said he's responsible for dad's death and she was hyper when she saw you getting real bashed up, we were so worried, Teddy, despite the fact that Trev told us that you'll be alright, we were still worried." Artemis explained and Damon just smiled."I'm fine now, sugar, just take a deep b
Damon watched Frank rush around, his in-law staring at everything in astonishment and then yawned before giving out the raw command, "Round them up." Immediately the words left his mouth, and the guards swung into action and began to apprehend Frank, Mr. And Mrs. Carney along with the son-in-law.The chains that were used in chaining him were loosened and he stood up, blood dripping from his body. "What's the meaning of this?" Mr. Carney asked angrily as one of the guards held him firmly. The guards provided a towel and water to Damon and he used it to wipe off his face. When he was done, he was feeling pain all over his body but it was definitely worth it. "Nothing, father-in-law, nothing much, all I did was just play a game, just like you had played with my father, though it was one hell of a painful game, the reward was worth it," Damon said, tearing off his blood-soaked cloth and taking another one provided by one of the guards. "No sir, you can not go into the room... Sir...
"Let my husband go!!! You evil man!" Athena shouted in front of the dungeon her husband was kept in.Her father was inside with him, along with Victor Frank and some guards. They were torturing him and without a doubt, they'll kill him soon. "Ahhhh!!!" Damon shouted and Athena dropped to the floor in pain and misery."You should be happy you're not there with him, you are very fortunate sis because if I am father, I'll have you killed too," Celena said with a chuckle."Get away from here you evil incarnate, enough of your stupid drama, you're just evil!" Athena said, crying.They captured Damon last night and they have been torturing him till now, she doesn't know what they want from him but she doesn't know what to do. She can't call anyone for help, she'd followed Damon here and since then they neither allowed her out of the dungeon nor allowed her in to see her husband. "I can't believe that Damon is the son of Hector, like this is so insane, he'd come to the family to destroy al
"I believe I have the solution to all your problems!" A masculine voice announced and all heads turned to see who it was. Heading towards them were Frank and Victor walking side by side. Athena immediately looked towards her husband but she was shocked to see that the man was resting comfortably on the cushion, his eyes closed. Athena stared in awe... Didn't he just hear that there might be a twist in his plans? Everyone stood to their feet upon seeing the new men walking towards them except for Damon who was still very much relaxed in his own seat. "Victor.... Oh, baby, I've missed you so much." Celena said with excitement and went and hugged Victor who hugged him back, "Hello Frank." She said and waved to Frank who replied with just a nod. "What brings you two here tonight?" Mr. Pedro asked as he studied the two men who were now in their midst."I heard you are facing some troubles, I came to be of help and I know you'll definitely need my help," Frank said proudly and Mr. Car
"What I am saying is that our dad once worked with a man called Hector. Fuck! Do you guys ever bother to ask Dad about his adult days because we all know that this isn't generational wealth? Whoever the anonymous person is, he or she has something solid and that's the only reason why the claims?" She answered calmly."And how do you find out about all these claims young lady?" Her father asked as he stared at her suspiciously. "Yeah, sis, how did you find out? Are you by any chance working with this anonymous person to bring your family down on their knees?" Celena asked immediately and Athena frowned.Damon looked at his wife, he couldn't help but wonder how she'd pull herself out of this tangle. Athena looked at everyone in awe, she let out a sarcastic chuckle and asked, "Dad, are you really asking me such questions? You don't expect me to jump into some crises without digging around. Even without digging around, it is known to those who wish to know that the company was founded b
