Many eyes gazed at the two moving figures that seem to be in a deep conversation, it was a wonder to them that the general had taken a fondness to the new man when he had entered the base, no one thought he'd become the general's favorite because the general has no favorite, he treated his soldiers equally but everything changed ever since Damon came into their base. Everyone had thought that General Leo despised Damon because of how brutal he was towards him, how he thrusts him forward in diverse dangerous challenges, and whenever he emerged victorious, he pushed him deeper into dangerous life-threatening ones. It was a shocker to most of them but it doesn't surprise some because the general is a man that's unpredictable and Damon seems to be following his unpredictable nature when it comes to his dealings though he has his distinctive traits. It was rumored that the general must have known him from the past or perhaps he was part of his past but no one dared say it out of fear of
Everything was peaceful in the base for the past few weeks, everyone go about their normal routine without any fuss, there had been a little fight over here and there but it was a normal thing around the Base. The Base cafeteria is huge and beautiful but Damon hardly uses it, he's so used to eating Sia's meal that he doesn't like the taste of the food being prepared in the cafeteria. "Why's your face looking so unpleasant?" Joe asked, puffing on his cigarette."Nothing, just don't like the taste of the food, it's bland, dude." He replied, pushing the tray forward.Joe chuckled and took another puff of his cigarette, "The food tastes fine, Damon. You're just too used to taking Sia's delicious food that you forgot how the food over here tastes like." Joe grinned, offering him a cigarette which he refused immediately. The general would punish him if he finds out that he smokes so early in the morning. It had become Joe's habit and most of the other soldiers but the general had strictl
"Damon...I love you, I love you so much and nothing would ever change that. I don't care what my family says about you, I don't give a fuck, all that matters is that we love each other." A female voice breathed out the confession to Damon who was all smiles. Just by looking at his face, one could tell that he was feeling on top of the world, the only woman that ever mattered to him, wants him as much as he wants her, loves him as much as he loves her. For the first time in years, he didn't curse the wrenched world, he didn't blame God or life... He was feeling content and fulfilled to have her, as long as she was by his side, he'd conquer the world. "I love you too Celena, I love you so much and I don't want to live without you by my side. I promise, I'll prove myself to you and your family, once we graduate, I believe I'll get the best job ever and take care of you like the queen you are." He assured her and the happy woman engulfed him in a deep hug. ********
"What's up, man?" Sia waved with a smile, coming towards Damon whose eyes were closed, head resting on the chair."I don't wanna talk to anyone Sia, let me be, will you?" He asked without moving an inch, his eyes still closed.Sia chuckled and sat next to him, there was no way she's gonna leave him. He'd been introverted ever since the casualty that happened two weeks ago, he didn't come out to do anything and she was surprised that General Leo let him stay in all day without doing anything."C'mom Damon, you need to get off this gloomy mood, it doesn't suit you, believe me. Wanna go to town and have some little fun?" She asked but the man sitting next to her didn't make a sound."Shit! You're becoming a boring person. I told you, you'll get your memories back soon but that doesn't mean you should sit idle at home. Everyone is asking about you, let's go to the Base club." She suggested and he opened his eyes lazily and sat upright, his hands palming his face. "I don't think anyone in
His eyes opened widely, angry fire reflected in his eyes…. "No.." He breathed out the phrase when he saw the mansion he'd left a few minutes ago lit up in furious fire and… and General Leo was still inside! The debris of the explosion decorated the atmosphere, soldiers came running towards the mansion that was blazing in an angry fire that threatened to burn anything down to ashes if neared. "Where's the fire squad!?" Sia asked angrily when there seemed to be no response from the department."All the water in reserve has been destroyed, nothing is left! We have no idea how the pipes got broken but we're trying our best to set everything up. They'll be here soon." A deep male voice replied and Damon's eyes flared in anger. This isn't ordinary, something is up but this is no time to think about such, "He can not die, he should not die." He mumbled to himself, his eyes trying to locate something in the burning mansion.He knew the general won't give up on his life, he'd fight, and wa
"Good. We're gonna have to jump then." He announced and took in some fresh air mixed with smoke. A terrible way to die but definitely better than getting burnt alive. "It was nice knowing you, sir," Damon muttered, looking towards the general to give him one final salute. "We're not dying so soon, Mr. Damon," He declared and Damon stared at him in awe. He doesn't have any plan apart from jumping out of the window, he has no plans at all, all he wanted was to save the general and it looks like even he himself requires saving. "I don't know if this is gonna work but we'll try it, there's a deep pool down there, we might jump into the pool, and due to the force of our fall, we might break a body part or parts or even hit our head on something concrete and die instantly but luck might decide to leave us and we'll land on the floor and die an agonizing death." General Leo explained, shifting his weight to his other leg and Damon just stared at him. He'd thought the general had a bette
As they made the jump, falling and the heated air wafting through them, they heard the sound of the helicopter, Damon cussed under his breath as he fell, those darn rescue teams always come at the wrong time! If he dies in the process of this fall, if there's anything like phantoms or if they ever existed, he'll turn into one and hunt those assholes for life. Bloody rascals! The fall was lengthy but somehow quick, he knew their chances of survival were slim, probably tinier than twenty percent, but he still hopes to survive even if the chance is by one percent, his mind went numb, his body too weak and he felt dizziness overcoming him but he strives to stay awake till he makes contact with the water. He would try to hit the water head to minimize his body surface area that would take the brunt of the water force impact, he stretched like a pencil and when he turned, he saw the general was in the same style, he hoped they would land on their feet... Well... Here goes nothing. Imme
TWO MONTHS LATER. After a hectic day at work, Damon dropped on his bed immediately as he entered his room. Weary was a word too small to describe how he was feeling, General Leo's industry in Italy was something that was exhausting, incorporated with his mafia, he also runs an empire that had different tributaries in some parts of the world that are involved in diverse businesses.Working as his assistant is draining, he'd been exposed to different infamous people, he'd met villains and heroes of the people. He doesn't want to get involved in the underworld shits much and the general understands him perfectly. The door opened and he knew exactly who it was, "Hi Sia, you won't perish if you knock." He muttered, looking towards the incoming woman."Get your lazy ass up, your big brother is arriving home tonight," Sia announced, dropping onto the bed by his side. "Are you serious!? Why the fuck didn't you tell me before? He didn't find it important to tell me either." He accused and s
