"Where are we heading to, Damon?" Athena asked when she could no longer hide her curiosity any longer."We're going to mom's room, she's awake and she demands to speak to me." He answered sharply, hastening his walking steps. Athena nodded and tried to keep up with her husband's walking pace, she had no idea what the text on his phone read but he'd immediately left the office. Immediately he read the message, without a doubt, Athena had guessed that it must be something relating to his mother. The door slid open and Damon walked in, Athena following him in immediately. "Damon." Mrs. Hector called weakly as she saw her son. Damon's heart contracted when he saw his mother's sad face, "Mother... Are you alright?" He asked as he took a seat by the bedside."I am fine dear, I'm just angry and a bit sad..." She paused and gave him a painful smile."That man..." She passed when she noticed Athena standing far off. "Come seat dear, come." She urged and Athena smiled as she moved towards t
"Ahhhhh!!!" Damon screamed in his room, his hands on his head, he was in pain and anger seemed to have become his guest, no matter how hard he tried to control himself, he just couldn't, he was angry at all those people responsible for his agony and sufferings. All those people responsible for his family's perils, everyone who'd caused pain to his family, he shall make all of them pay dearly, they all shall pay and that's an oath. "You need to calm down or should I call the doctor?" The robotic voice rang from his wristwatch but Damon didn't even acknowledge it, his head was in pain and everything in his body was in an insane agony.A dark chuckle escaped his mouth and he took a seat on the bed, his back laying on the bed shortly. His eyes were shut tightly as he tried to control the pain he was feeling, he had to control his emotions, especially his anger, with the way he was feeling now. If he acts based on his instincts, he'll kill and he will not have any ounce of regret in him
"You broke the rules of the ethics by planning an attack on your adversary immediately after your leave from here and that's totally against the rules. You're lucky you're still alive, if I were him, I'll have you crippled already" One of the assassin leaders boomed, his eyes staring at Draco who was in chains along with Sia by his side."Exactly, he's guilty because Damon here has provided all the evidence needed. I won't stand for you because you're the most egoistic and foolish assassin leader I've ever met, you're just stubborn and silly to think that you can eat your cake and have it. Gentlemen and women in power, I think we should let Damon do what he wishes to do with him, he'd broken the rules and that's not welcomed in this association." Another added and Damon just sat there, looking at Draco who was looking lost, his body bleeding and some of his fingers missing.He'd taken out his anger on him last night and he still feels like he's not satisfied with the outcome, once th
"Mom... What are you doing... I mean how come you're here?" Damon stuttered out the question, his eyes fixed on the two women who were standing behind his Mom.If there was a gun, he'd have probably shot some sense into them for bringing his mother who was just recovering from her ailment into this gruesome scene.How the hell was his mother going to react?She was already looking odd… No... She was looking blank, just like him, he could not see the expression on his mother's face and that was very frustrating to him."Boss, I'm sorry, we couldn't stop her... She wanted to come but we didn't intend to bring her, we lost her along the...""Enough honey, you don't have to explain yourself to your husband, I'm sure he'll understand." Mrs. Hector said, cutting her daughter-in-law in. Damon looked towards Athena and made some sort of eye contact with her and she just nodded and agreed to keep quiet while the son and mother had their own time."What are you doing here Mom? You should not b
"Don't you dare talk back at me, you stupid woman, I should have killed you when..."The sound of a gun trigger was heard and ‘BANG!!!’ A shot was made. "Ahhhhhh!!!" A loud howl escaped Draco's mouth as the bullet of Damon's gun pierced through one of his thighs, and blood began to gush out of the hole. "What the... Ahhh, what is... What the hell have I done?!" Draco shouted in a stutter as the pain in his thigh became unbearable."When you're in my territory, learn to speak to a woman with high regard, you don't hang there and use your cursed stupid mouth to insult any woman here, you might have a different rule in your territory which you follow but as long as you're in mine, you have to go by the rules or you can risk running your mouth and getting bullet holes in your body," Damon said coldly to the man who was wriggling in chains because of the pain his left thigh was going through."I'm sorry, get a doctor... I might bleed to death!!!" Draco said in horror and pain while Damo
"Damon, I need a favor from you," Sia said aloud and Damon slowly turned to look at her before asking."What?""Who am I?" She asked and Damon furrowed his brow because of the question. He had no idea what Sia meant by who she was, how the hell was he supposed to know again? "I don't understand what you mean by that. What are you talking about and ain't you supposed to know about your identity?" He asked. Sia sighed and faced Damon squarely, "I know I am demanding for much, I'm not supposed to even ask you questions because of what I've done to you but I still wish to know my root, my identity... You mentioned General Leo being my father, what does that mean? Did you talk in the heat of the moment or what? What exactly were you insinuating?" She asked and Damon raised a knowing brow."Oh that, I thought you knew the general was your father, though he had no idea about it and Doctor Alec didn't know either... I myself got to know about it after the general's demise. I actually thoug
Two months later. "Hey, big bro!" An excited female called and Damon, who was walking towards the convoy waiting for him, halted and turned to see the incoming figure. Damon's smile broadened as he watched his younger sister rushing towards him, "You ain't coming along today sweetie, not a chance." Damon declared and Artemis grinned."Why can't I come along? The girls are coming along with you." Artemis whined and Damon just sighed, here he was again with his younger sister and her annoying pressing personality. "You can't come along because mom won't allow you, plus you're still very young and you have to go to school. Do I still need to tell you more reasons, sugar?" He asked and Artemis frowned. "Artemis, you should not delay your brother, come, I have made some delicious tacos for you, I'm sure you'll like it." Mrs. Hector called from afar and Artemis sighed in defeat."This is not fair." She whined and looked at Athena and Electra who were standing beside her brother."Bye si
THREE DAYS LATER (At the Carneys villa)"What the hell is happening?! How the hell is this happening?!!" Mr. Carney shouted, throwing the phone in his hand away. "Honey, you have to calm down, just take a deep breath, I'm sure we can do something about this, this is an old issue. I don't know how it arises but I'm sure we can sort it out." Mrs. Carney said, trying to calm her husband who was looking extremely infuriated. The televisions in the house were turned off because it seemed like every news channel was talking about the ugly turnout of the situation for the Carney family. "I don't understand, how?! How did an old burned-down issue come up suddenly? Just how? The media had taken it up and no matter who I called for help to take it down, they kept saying they're helpless, what the hell is wrong with everyone?" Mr. Carney asked and began to cough immediately after he finished."Here Daddy, have a glass of water, I'm sure everything will be alright, they'll just make bluster a
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
