"Do I have to attend the Goddamn anniversary party?! I mean it's totally uncalled for." Damon let out a frustrated grunt and dropped the tablet he was holding on his bed."That's how rich fellas are, they celebrate little things, they just find one reason to squander and show off their wealth, I know it's annoying but they enjoyed doing it, that's what they are. You should be used to it, you're wealthy too." Athena chipped in and carried her bottle of soft drink and gulped some liquid down.Damon looked at her and frowned, he sighed, there was no use getting angry with her or trying to correct some of her wrong statements. He owes no one an explanation about his sudden wealth. "Boss, you have to go. You're their leader and it is important that you go there, it won't be that bad, I'm sure you'll enjoy yourself." Electra tried to convince him but the frustrated man palmed his face.Going to the party was not the problem but the publicity the party would get is what posed a danger to hi
"All set?" Damon asked the girls without looking away from the laptop he was holding."Yes, baby. We're waiting for you." Athena replied, her finger playing with her hair. "I told you guys more than a week ago that I don't want to go shopping with you two. Don't think you can convince me this time, I'm not going and that's it." He announced without breaking eye contact with his device.Athena looked towards Electra for help but the woman shrugged and gave her a look of ‘I told you so.’ "Trevor, get me all the tenders that were submitted yesterday for the new biogas project." He ordered and Trevor nodded and stood up to leave."Hey, Trev. What should we get for you?" Athena asked with a smile."Nothing, thank you, the boss got everything I needed already." He replied with an appreciative smile and left."Ohh, you already have what you need. You could have got something for us too, you know." Athena hinted and a low grunt escaped Damon's mouth. He was extremely happy when the girls
Damon was skimming through his phone vigorously when the doorbell to his room rang, he looked at the time read on his phone and sighed. It wasn't yet time for the party, why would they be disturbing him? He'd specially warned everyone not to disturb him till it was time for the party, they'd intended to go when the party was fully on, he doesn't want to go into some shabby boring introduction with anyone. It's already seven thirty- eight in the evening, they'll leave the villa once it's eight thirty, and they'll be thirty minutes late to the party. He ignored the doorbell hoping that whoever it was would leave once he didn't answer the door but the person seemed to have a strong resolve also because the next time the doorbell rang, it was immediately followed by a heavy loud knock. A low grunt escaped his mouth, he already knew who it was, the only human that could dare knock on his door as vigorously as that would be none other than his fianceé. The woman seems to have sworn no
"Well, well, well... I'm glad I'm not the only one in sneakers!" Athena said immediately Electra stepped out of the elevator with a grin on her face. "I'm not much of a heels fan, I tend to always prepare myself for action and my job doesn't require so many fascinating things," Electra said and sat beside Athena."So you can not fight while on heels?" Trevor asked, taking a puff of his cigarette. "Of course I can, heels have advantages too, especially ones with pointy soles, it's a great weapon," Electra replied and Athena nodded in agreement.Athena relaxed her head on the chair, waiting for the boss to arrive, they were all waiting for him. The elevator dinged and she shot her head up to look at the man whose enigmatic presence brought a smile to her face. "Don't you think you're falling in love with the boss?" Electra asked when she saw how Athena was staring fondly at the man heading towards them. "Not gonna deny it nor will I accept that accusation but your boss is truly hot
He'd personally notified Mr. Alfredo that he shall not remove his mask at the party but it looks like the man wants to dare him. Well, he'll see the outcome soon, he means no harm to anyone but if anyone wishes him harm, destruction shall be the end product. He's not in the mood for games but if Alfredo wants to play, he'll be honored to show him how the rules work. "This is bad, I hate that man!" Electra cussed under her breath but Damon looked at her with a reassuring smile.The drama he doesn't wish to create had already begun, there were cameras fixed on him and to make things more annoying, he's standing at the entrance of a party that he never wanted to attend.He was burning inside however, he'd decided to keep his cool and watch the drama unfold, he couldn't help it any longer. He could decide to turn around and go back home, if any of the members dare to accuse him, he'll let them know that he'd personally messaged Alfredo and told him that he shall not remove his mask for
"Nothing is fine boss, Words alone aren't enough, he must prove that he's sorry, that's the rule," Harry said and Damon sighed.He'd planned for a short calm evening at the party, he wasn't expecting such a dramatic welcome or a crazy scenario. What would Alfredo do to show that he's sorry? That's not even the question that should bother him right now. Alfredo is extremely stubborn and pompous. The question should be; Would he agree to do it? One thing he'd observed about his mafia members was the crazy fact that they were the most stubborn set of people he'd ever met. "Guys, let's go in, We shouldn't create a scene here, we can always sort this out some other time." Damon insinuated, his eyes fixed on Alfredo. The look on the man was enough to make him wanna kill him, he might think that he's saved because of the fact that he's waving the member's suggestion away but he's not, he's in a lot of heftier trouble."As you wish, boss." Harry agreed and Damon gave him a nod. Damon
The dance floor was filled with some invited guests, they moved swiftly and yet gently with the tune of the melodious music that was being played. Damon's eyes were fixed on his phone, he'd gone to the dance floor with Athena but the young woman had excused herself suddenly to go use the ladies. He was glad because he was getting tired of the slow music, it seemed like some sort of lullaby to his ears which made him wanna drop on the floor and sleep. It's ironic to him though because the lullaby had never worked on him back at the orphanage. There was a kind woman back at his orphanage who used to sing melodious lullabies to them, however, instead of making him sleep back then, it made him fully awake because, to him, it was a total disturbance to his ears. He raised his head and a half smile formed on her face when he saw Electra and Trevor dancing together. It was a hilarious scene considering the fact that just a few minutes ago, they wanted to tear each other apart because Athe
Damon's eagle eyes scan through the crowd as soon as he steps out of the corridor, his woman by his side. He saw Electra and Trevor heading towards them, they looked sick with worry. "Where the hell were you guys? We've been looking for you." Electra asked and Damon just shrugged."We might probably get attacked tonight, so ready your horses and your strategies because we're on the fewer side here," Damon announced calmly and Electra's eyes bulged open in surprise. "How? I mean who wants to attack us?" Trevor asked, surprise evident in his voice. It looks like he too wasn't expecting such a thing to happen.Damon gave them a half smile, he totally understood their plight. They've all left their home to come to a party which would probably be their burial party. The party was intended to be fun but since Alfredo has no idea what fun is, he'll show him a bloody kind of fun. He'll definitely love it, he's a lover of blood since he was willing to risk killing him in the guise of inviti
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
