"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
"Mr. Carney, are all the accusations leveled against you true? What do you have to say about this new development?" One of the journalists asked Mr. Carney who was coming out of his company. The guards immediately began to guide him and his wife towards the car, Celena and Ayden were following them closely and the journalist didn't spare them when it came to throwing questions at them. The family entered the car and it zoomed off. "I can get used to this," Athena said with a chuckle as she stared at the scenario from the window of her office."I'm glad you're having fun, wifey," Damon said and Athena turned to look at him with a smile.She never knew what he was planning but everything was beginning to make sense to her though not really much, she had questions she dearly wished to ask him but she had decided to keep mute, however, she knew she couldn't do it for long.Damon noticed the uneasy expression on Athena's face and asked, "What is going on in that shrewd mind of yours?"
"I was raped Damon, my innocence was taken away by... by...." She stuttered and burst into tears. Damon's gut tightened and his body tensed, "By who, baby? " He asked coldly, his voice deep and low. "By my own father." She said at last and Damon's chest contracted painfully. "What?!" Damon exclaimed in shock and Athena nodded with a sad smile. How was she supposed to put the whole thing without having to sound so graceless, without it sounding bizarre? Everything about her is weird and sour, nothing about her life is good, nothing at all. "Oh dear... I'm... Fuck!!!" Damon cursed angrily and palmed his face, he just couldn't believe this.He had heard stories about shits like this, who would have thought that his own wife was a victim of such absurdity."I'm... I'm so sorry Athena, I don't know what to say but I am truly sorry." Damon said in a sad voice as he turned to look at Athena who just smiled and nodded."It's been a long time but after that experience, things went from bad
"That's insane like you two are out of your sanities, what makes you think that we can get an anonymous person? You are either simply too dumb or you are mentally imbalanced." Celena said loudly in the meeting for the family to hold and tackle their current predicament.Damon looked at Celena angrily, the woman just loves making unnecessary noise and throwing baseless accusations."Do you have a better suggestion, sister?" Athena asked, turning to look at her sister who was looking furious and insanely mad. "Don't give me that crabby question, you and I know that your suggestion is trash and the idea is just useless. Are you hearing yourself talk about a solution, it's more like a plan to get us hooked in another mess." Celena defended and Athena just smiled. She's right in every way but there was no way she could prove anything. Celena is smart in her own ways and perhaps she could have used her smartness to help herself had she not been too focused on bringing others down."You kno
"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
"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
