Damon sighs in relief, some of the confusion would get cleared now because he doesn't think he can tolerate those men and their daily melodramatic scenes. "Welcome Doctor Alec, it's good to have you here at last." Damom welcomed the incoming man with the best smile that he could because it's been a long time since he had had any reason to smile."Hello Damon, how are you doing?" Dr. Alec asked, sitting on the space being offered by Trevor."Good. I'm good, how was the journey." Damon replied, taking a seat opposite him."Been on the run but I'm glad I could make it here. Hello, young men, please have a seat and I'll explain everything, as soon as I'm done, I'll be on my way." Dr Alec addressed the men standing and staring at him, he could see the suspicious look on their faces but he chose to ignore them. They're all bound to be suspicious of him, it's normal. "Trevor, please sit." Dr. Alec muttered and Trev sat down near Damon, eager to hear everything the doctor had to say. Antho
"Damon Hector, General Leo had considered you worthy to take over his Empire." Doctor Alec announced, looking at the man whose name he'd just mentioned sitting with all calm and composure... As usual one can not read his expression because it was blank.There was a few seconds of silence as everyone tried to ingest and digest the information Doctor Alec just passed. Damon couldn't think, he doesn't even know what to say or do. The questions in his mind stilled and the new information overwhelmed him so much that he felt weird all of a sudden. His deep throaty chuckle broke the silent atmosphere and all heads turned towards Damon wondering what was wrong with him. "Are you alright, Damon?" Trevor asked and Damon just smiled."I don't know what to say Trev, can't you hear what Doctor Alec just said or was I hallucinating?" Damon asked, his eyes trailing to Doctor Alec who smiled at him. "You need to keep calm and I'll explain everything to you." Doctor Alec said calmly. "You expect
Everyone stared at the man walking away, Trevor moved to stop him but Doctor Alec held him back. "Just give him some time to himself, he'll be back." Doctor Alec muttered and Trevor grunted. Immediately Damon entered the elevator, Trevor turned to the men. "Look, if any one of you wants to go back to that hell, feel free to leave now because if anyone says trash again about the late General or his Will, I'm not sure what I'm gonna do. I know you all don't value your life but just as a warning, I won't hesitate to kill anyone here if the person says any trash again. If you're not okay with the new boss, then fucking leave because I won't tolerate what happened here again today." Trevor said venomously and stormed out of the place. Doctor Alec cleared his throat and turned towards the baffled-looking men, he could see that some of them were angry but the best thing about the whole thing is, they can not act on their anger. What could be more fun? "Hey!" Doctor Alec called and Anthon
"You'll need to sign a few documents before I can officially affirm your approval." The AI stated and Damon palmed his face. Is he doing the right thing?The question arose in his mind and he couldn't help but answer it, however, the problem is that he doesn't have an appropriate answer. It was a yes or no question but he can't give such an answer because he seems to be torn between the two. General Leo had given him a chance to clear his father's name, a chance to fulfill the dream that his late father had always dreamt of, a chance to have vengeance against those who had wronged him and his family, a chance to lead, a chance to be powerful and the most important of all, a chance to meet his family again, to find his family. But... In all these CHANCES, dangers creep around every part of it, taking the chance means embracing all forms of dangers, embracing a new gush of enemies. Would he be able to handle it? Can he? Would he meet the General's expectations or would he flunk fl
"Sorry, Anthony." He muttered and pulled the trigger. The sound bang was the next thing everyone heard and they stood frozen.Damon looked at the gun that had just fired a bullet, mist dancing at the muzzle of the gun and he inhaled it. God, he's getting addicted to the smell. He looked in the direction Anthony was kneeling with a frown on his face, Anthony's expression radiates shock and fear at the same time and that's what he loves to see. He looked down at the hole his bullet had created just a few inches from where Anthony was kneeling. Damon's eyes trail from the shocked Anthony to the men standing a few feet away from him and there could be nothing better or satisfying seeing the confused expression on their faces. A goal well attained. Killing Anthony would give him the ruthless image he needs but not killing him gives him something much greater and that's what he desires. He doesn't want the men to only fear him, he wants their respect as well and he shall earn it. Th
"What the fuck is wrong with you Damon! How could you shoot him just like that!?" Trevor demanded angrily moving towards the bleeding Zach on the floor."Don't you dare touch him, Trev or I'll kill him without giving him a chance to explain himself." Damon's voice boomed angrily and Trevor halted on his track wondering what was going on. Everyone there was shocked, in deep shock and some were angry seeing one of their own on the floor bleeding from the thigh. "Anthony, go and clean up, I want you in the meeting hall in the next twenty minutes, if you hinder for a second, I'll punch some sense into you." He instructed the shocked-looking Anthony. "Yes, boss." Anthony saluted and left quickly. "Jerry, take Zach to the meeting hall and make sure he's chained to something." He ordered Jerry and glare at the man on the floor groaning in pain, blood oozing out of the hole created by the bullet. "Who the hell are you to order me? You have a lot of explanation to do, why the fuck did you
Damon woke up feeling relaxed... Relaxed? It was a positive and negative feeling, his body is relaxed because it got the desired rest, he'd not been able to sleep well for some days now but he was able to have a good rest today, however, his mind isn't at rest, the mind is teetering with different thoughts and he just couldn't help it. It is true when they say a man never truly rests till he dies. He's not ready to die yet, they're so many things to do, and so many people to subjugate... There are people he wants to beg for mercy and he shall not grant it to them. Mercy, forgiveness, love, trust, and compassion aren't in his dictionary anymore, he'd created a new dictionary, especially for his odyssey, a new man that would seek nothing but vengeance against those that wronged him and make his family suffer... He shall not forgive, he's not as big-hearted as God, he's a mere mortal, he'd been pushed to the limits and he'd had enough of all the bull shits, he'd had enough. Damon Hect
The door slid open and a woman stepped into the hall, her eyes darting around in suspicion. Damon's heart began to beat furiously as his eyes beheld the woman who'd just walked into his new Empire. "Mother?" He murmured, his eyes fixed on the woman that was still looking at everyone present in the room mistrustfully.Trevor noticed Damon's sudden change in expression and ordered everyone out except Doctor Alec and Electra. The woman's eyes were fixed on Damon curiously, her brain giving rise to different questions but she couldn't talk, she's just a servant here and they're not given a chance to talk or say anything. Damon went closer to the woman with mixed emotions, the abandonment, his cries, his pain and suffering, he'd been in darkness because of her and he's still in darkness with no hope of coming out just because of that night she didn't take him along. He was willing to suffer with her, do everything with her. He just wants one thing, her presence by his side, when he's
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
