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
"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.
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
"I'm sorry, Mr. Damon but you're not what we're looking for, please use the door."The secretary sitting comfortably in her beautiful office announced to Damon who just stood rooted to one spot. He can't understand one thing, he'd just got here to conduct an interview that was supposed to be held today and without even interviewing him, they've all decided that he's not what they are looking for.Are these people infected with madness, what's wrong with them? The questing ring in his head as he stared at the secretary that was tapping furiously at the computer in front of her. "What do you mean, ma'am? I've not even taken any interviews. How then did you or your company conclude that I'm not worthy enough for the position I applied for? If this is a joke, then I'm not finding it funny." He said with utmost body composure, with the way he was boiling inside, he could rip someone apart right now. Something in him told him that no one was joking but he wished to give it a benefit of d
An odd smell wafted through the air as Damon got closer to the fleets of cars packed. Some hulk-like-looking men immediately blocked him when he was advancing toward the big boss's car. "Restricted area, leave." One of the mean-looking guys ordered but Damon wasn't a bit intimidated by their sizes."I'm here to see your boss." He said simply looking at the giants right in the eyes, they can't use heights to intimidate him, he's blessed with height and the rough life on the streets had made him strong and very fit. "Go into the office and wait. He can not attend to you now!" The other one with a face that resembled an angry Godzilla almost shouted at him. The door to the car opened and he saw his course mate, he couldn't describe the feeling of joy and dread that was playing at the pit of his stomach but he decided to stay positive. The security men weren't allowing him access and that really got him frustrated, he could struggle his way through but that might result in some punch
"Take your filthy words back you son of a bitch!" Damon roared at Frank who was gasping for air.Frank's men began to pull Damon but it only worsened the situation because as they pulled Damon, he pulled Frank along with him.Video recordings were on and some were doing live streams but none of that matters to Damon, Frank has to take back his words.A huge punch landed on Damon's stomach and his hold on Frank loosened but he didn't leave him completely."Punch him!" A sharp order came from one of the men and several punches began to land on Damon's body. With his hold on Frank's neck loosened, he was pulled away forcefully from him and they began to beat him to the ground.Legs were used on him as he struggled on the floor to stand up, he made a grab for two different legs, pulled them down resulting in two security guards landing on the floor with a big thud.The punches and kicks decreased with time and he knew it was old James and some of his street buds working in the company tha
The door slid open as he got closer to it, with hesitant steps, he walked in slowly expecting to hear a mocking laughter but nothing happened.His body was aching all over due to pain and with each step he took in pain, he cussed inwardly and wished to humiliate and deliver some blows to Frank for the ill-treatment he'd meant out on him."Oh my goodness!" A female voice exclaimed, with a frown, Damon looked towards the side the voice came from and he wasn't surprised to see his mother in-law heading towards him hurriedly with a worried look on her face; now the worried look is definitely surprising."What the hell happened to you? You look like shits and smell like shits." She mocked and shrieked away immediately she came close enough to perceive the odd smell oozing from him.Damon rolled his eyes, looking at his mother in-law who seemed disgusted by the appearance of her son in-law. She has no idea what her daughter sees in him."Good evening ma'am." Damon greeted the lost looking w
"Divorce papers. Can't you read again or has poverty created another miracle by blinding your eyes?" Celena asked with a snort, giving her husband a look of disdain."What for?" He asked, dropping the papers on the table."To wrap tacos." Ayden replied sarcastically with a laugh.Damon shot him a deadly glare, "if you make another sound from that wretched mouth of yours ever again, I'll use this knife and slice you wide open like thanksgiving turkey."With his venomous warning, everything went static, like a still-shot in a magazine. Ayden tried to protest but his mother held him back. Damon is extremely angry right now and if anyone provokes him more, he'll do as he'd threatened.Ms. Carney knew that behind that calm and composed man is a savage beast that destroys without mercy when pushed to the limits, she'd seen that beast once but never again. She just wants Damon to grant the divorce without any drama and she won't risk anything that would turn the angry looking Damon into a D
