Damon's Odyssey (Journey To The Top) Chapter 40.
Damon's eyes trail back to the picture again, he has no idea what to think and what not to think. Different thoughts swirl in his mind but he couldn't grasp a single one, all the thoughts seemed to be coming in all at once and hence his inability to grasp or hold onto a single one. His father-in-law was a good friend of his father, not only was he a good friend, he was more like a brother to him.He stared hard at the picture, three powerful men laughing in a picture... What went awry? Damon raised his head from the photo album and stared at General Leo, their eyes locked and one could see that Damon's eyes hold thousands of questions and confusion while that of the general depicts fear and sadness. "What happened? How come you all went separate and where is my family? If truly I had a happy family, what happened to them? How come you're here, all alone? How come you and my father-in-law..." He paused in his endless questions to rephrase the name. Calling him father-in-law seems st

"He was set up, the truth was manipulated and all the blame for what happened was levied on your father. Your father was trapped so badly that there was no way out for him." He added and Damon's body tensed. "How? Who trapped him? I don't understand..." Damon questioned and General Leo sat down again, his heart beating furiously against his ribcage. "Your father was not just different among the brotherhood, he was the promising one. He's honest in his ways and he was the brain in our group. He had a little bit of political intentions but your mother never allowed him to go deep into it because of dangers. Your father can be cunning when he wants but he's mostly cunning to do good for the benefit of those in need. It was your father's dream to see the children on the streets have a good home, education, and food but it was his quest that got him killed because along the line, he made so many enemies as well as friends but he made powerful enemies including his business partners and b

Damon let out a low chuckle and stared at the General, the man he'd loved as a family, he had no idea what he was feeling.Anger?Nope. He's not angry, his feelings are so weird, so complicated... He's feeling so much complication that he doesn't know what he felt. He just felt empty, this emptiness that he doesn't know what would fill. "Why?" Damon asked, his voice a whisper, eyes locked with that of General Leo, he wanted to ask so many questions but that was the only one that came from his mouth, that single word was what came out. Why did he betray his father? How could he do that to him? "Why? What did my father do to you? I just don't understand, General, my father... I mean he was like a brother to you. I don't fucking know him but from the story you just told me, you three were more than brothers." He asked calmly, his eyes focused on the man whose eyes were lowered. All this was just too much for him to take in, the man he'd grown so fond of was responsible for the dea

Damon left the General's room feeling dejected, sorrows piercing every single cell of his body, his mind fogged when nothing but confusion, and anger rushed into him from distinct directions. He's feeling different emotions at the same time and that's driving him insane, he just wants to feel some ease, some sort of solitude no matter how little it might be. It was at this time that he wished the darkness would claim him, it was at this time that he wished not to feel any form of emotion, he just wanted to be engulfed in darkness... Darkness is always the best way to leave one's sorrows for a while and not alcohol. Many people have said that drowning one's sorrows in alcohol is the best way to forget it but it was an entirely different situation for him. When he's in pain, he doesn't wish for a bottle of wine that would mess up with his sense of reasoning, he just wishes for darkness. The darkness creates the best form of solitude for him, the best way to escape his sorrows is to c

Damon felt extremely uneasy, he was trying to think but the fear in him would not allow him, he can not seem to think straight and it seems like the more he tries to think, the more his brain becomes impassive. He picked up a stone and fling it into the sea, the stone created ripples before finally sinking deep into the sea. He watched the calm sea, the bright full moon illumination and he took in a deep breath of the fresh air. His mood discrepancies directly with the sea"Why?" He asked and he knew no one would answer but he still wants to ask, he wishes to ask that question. To ask why his life was in so much jeopardy, why nothing in his life ever seems normal.Nothing about him is typical, nothing about him is calm... All his life, he has always been from one trouble to another, from a deep crisis to a deeper one. Why can't everything be normal with him? He just wants a simple lifestyle, a happy one... he's not asking for much, and he's not wishing for much, he merely wants a

"Now, let's not prolong this matter, just tell me where the X-SPOT is and I'll spare your life, I promise." She muttered and came to stand in front of him with a heavily loaded gun ready to send him to join the general in heaven or hell... Only time would tell. Damon's brain declined to comprehend whatever was happening, maybe he understood what was happening but vetoed to accept it. "Sia... You killed the General?" He asked, his voice sounding so low and filled with astonishment.The woman in front of him just rolled her eyes, "It's normal to kill, killing ain't some big deal for me, and besides, General Leo could have died since but you came in the way, I couldn't complete my mission just because of you and do you know how degrading that is, especially for my career. I'm an assassin but I allow lust to stop me from doing my job, that's a big stain on my career and it's gonna take a lot of hard work to get that stubborn stain off." She said casually and Damon gave her a questioning

Damon strode out of the room Sia had been retained in since four A.M in the morning, looking red, he looked at the men standing before him, the urge to blow the traitor's head off was becoming enthusiastic but the only thing stopping him was the fact that he didn't know who the traitor was. "I'm not gonna ask who helped her escape but that person should know that the day I found out he's the one, that would be the day that person would take in his last oxygen on earth." He said with gritted teeth, his body vibrating with every structure of anger. He couldn't control what he was feeling, the feeling was so intense that punishing the guilty person would be the only thing that would bring him little solitude."Fuck!" He spat angrily, left the men standing in awe, and began to descend the stairs angrily, his feet were making a loud noise as he went down and soon the men watching him also followed him down. Damon began to pace to and fro, his mind filled with different thoughts. "Damon,

Damon gazed at the briefcase in front of him, an uncomfortable feeling welcomed him again. He'd retrieved the briefcase from the X-SPOT, General Leo had kept the box hidden there, and the place he'd hidden it was in his room. The X-SPOT was in no other place than Damon's room.General Leo had once come to Damon's room and pointed to a particular wall as an X-SPOT, he'd told Damon that he'd kept something extremely important there and no matter what, he should not disclose it to anyone. General Leo had shown him the X-SPOT before he traveled to meet his wife back in the United States of America. The burial had been done in an honorable way a few days ago, some infamous people showed up and some of the men claimed to have known some of them so, Damon had no say on who to attend the burial and who not to, it's just that as long as he's concerned, everyone is a suspect to him and would always be. Trusting someone wasn't something that was in him, that trait in him was shaken after his

EPILOGUE.
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
