"You're indeed a fortunate man! Fuck!! You survived so many attempts on your life?!" Athena questioned in awe as Damon finished his narration. A deep throaty chuckle escaped Damon's mouth seeing the surprised look on the woman's face, he'd narrated his story to her, but it wasn't all; he had excluded the part that has to do with his family, he might tell her in the future but not yet, this wasn't the right time to tell her. "Yeah, I survived, lucky me but I don't think they'll be so lucky when it comes to them, they've run out of luck and I'm extremely sure of that." He muttered. "What evidence do you have against the family though? Whatever you have against them that made them fear you so much to such an extent that they allowed you to stay in the house must be something big. I know that family, I've spent twenty-three years of my life with them." She explained, her eyes peering deep into that of Damon's."I'll tell you everything, how about I hear some of your bitter stories? Wha
TWO MONTHS LATER. "Any information about the mission yet?" Damon asked as he tapped furiously on the laptop in front of him."Not yet boss but according to some rumors...""Enough Electra, I don't want rumors!! I want facts!!! That's what I want, I don't want any assumptions or tales, just let me know what needs to be done, we don't have time for this, people go missing every now and then. Police complaints are being registered but nothing, no action is being taken, they're been looked down upon because they're poor, those rich bastards think they can do and undo... I want to prove them wrong and for that to be attainable, I need a fucking proof and I shall get it, I have to get it." He thundered furiously and refocused his attention back on the laptop.Electra watched her boss tapping furiously on the poor laptops, it would be a matter of time before he bang or probably fling the poor device away due to his fierce anger right now. It had taken her every ounce of pleading to keep him
"You're going back to the United States?! That's extremely dangerous boss." Electra exclaimed, looking at the man sitting. "I'm still a married man, remember and there's no way I'm gonna get married when I haven't divorced the first one, that's illegal," Damon said calmly, his eyes focused on the newspaper he was reading.He was in no disposition to deal with Electra now, he had so much to think, so much to do and he was a bit happy that one of his plans was finally making a little headway.There were different ways to go against the Carneys but none was as good and pleasurable as marrying Athena. Using their own blood to destroy them was his hit plan and he'll slam them hard with it, they won't see what's coming, even if by chance or luck they happen to see it, they would not be able to avert it. "He did have a point, Electra. There's no way he would be able to get married to Spitfire without divorcing her sister. His wife might even take him to court for that and I'm sure that fro
A slow satisfied smile spread across Damon's face as he dropped the file he was studying, the Carneys Empire was growing rapidly over the years, it had somehow made its way to the top ten. There are family businesses in the United States that are doing awesomely well and the Carneys is among the businesses. He's still a bit confused about how to kick off his plans once he grants Celena the divorce she'd always wanted. She'll definitely be surprised regarding his survival but that wasn't the main point, he'd pretend like nothing of the sort even happened. He'd fulfill her wish and once he was done with her, he would start his plans.Two months ago, he was clueless about what to do. He wanted revenge against his number one enemy but he didn't know how to go about it. Then Athena entered his life and the idea of buying her shares to join his own popped into his head but it wasn't really a promising plan because her shares would not give him any sort of power considering the way she'd
"What do you do for pleasure?" Athena asked Damon who was focused on his laptop. It was a beautiful afternoon and they were both sitting comfortably in the big garden. Damon came here for some relaxation, to receive some fresh air, and relish some old memories he once had with the general. He'd truly missed the General, though he doesn't acknowledge the fact every time, deep down, he missed him terribly. General Leo was a father figure to him, he never spent much time with his father because of the unfortunate circumstances that surrounded his childhood. Though they didn't start on a good note, he'd trained him to be what he is now, back then, it was like pure torturer but now, he's benefiting greatly from all his teachings, things are still formidable but with time, he's sure that everything will be alright... Everything just needs time. "Damon, I'm asking you a question. Why are you being such a snub anyway?" The irritated Athena asked and Damon let out a low breathy sigh."I'm
"Hey new buddy, wanna go to the party with me tonight? It would be fun!" Athena asked the man whose eyes were focused on the laptop that was in front of him. Damon wanted to burst into rips or maybe shout, perhaps the woman would let him be. It was totally a bad idea to accept being her friend. Bad, bad, and extremely terrible idea. He calmed himself, putting on the best smile he could summon, and looked up at the woman who was smiling from ear to ear. How in the name of the Lord was she able to be so happy?! "I'm sorry Athena but as you can see, I'm extremely busy today, maybe some other times. How do you see that?" He asked but the woman gave him a blank look. "Why do you choose to live such a boring life anyway? You're always too serious, doing one thing or the other? Sweetheart, you only live once you know? Learn to live, don't let life live you without you living life." She detailed as she waited for answers. Damon's jaw tightened, "My life isn't boring darling, I'm not com
Damon stepped out of his room with the intention to see Doctor Alec and have a little discussion with him or maybe seek an advice or two, a frown appeared on his face when he saw Electra standing near the door. "What do you want Electra?" He grunted out the question and one can tell that he was in not in the mood to talk to anyone but Electra being Electra would not hear of it, she was here to talk to him and there was no way she's gonna leave because he made her feel unwelcomed. "Can I have a few minutes of your time, please?" She asked in a pleading voice and Damon knew immediately without a doubt that the woman was here in relation to a topic he doesn't wish to discuss."Let me guess, have you come to lecture me about my boring lifestyle too?" He asked and stared at the woman with indifference."Uhmmm, not really. I came here to ask if all is well with you and your fianceé, she's behaving oddly and it all started after she left your place a few hours ago. I thought her mood would
The crowd roared with excitement, the door to the training room swung and more people poured into the room. Soon, it was a house full. Damon looked around and he felt this little spark of happiness that he couldn't describe, he'd been feeling gloomy for a long time, the burden on his shoulders had chased away any form of happiness he could feel. He knew that happiness is temporary but it was all a cracking craziness when he could not feel it, even if it was just a little, it was scary how his life is turning but he was not complaining, he doesn't have a choice; complaining isn't a choice, he just have to deal with things as they come. "Okay, okay... All of you should quiet down, there's no way this fight would start if you keep shouting like some animals! I know we're all animals but we should all behave for now." Electra's voice rang in the air from the speaker. "You idiots! You all should behave or I'll send you out, don't forget the fact that I'll also indict you." She warned an
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
