The plane landed and Damien tapped Lawrence who had been sleeping all this while, he had been talking non-stop ever since they got on the plane, and he was relieved when he saw him sleeping at last** At the airport, in the States***"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. We have landed at JFK airport in the States where the local time is 18:30 and the temperature is 76º. We hope you have enjoyed your flight with Italy Airlines this evening and wish you a very safe journey to your final destination."The final announcement for the landing of the plane came, as the passengers began descending one after the other. Damien and Lawrence were part of the numerous people who got down, they took their luggage and headed out of the airport.Damien brought out his phone and called Gracie but there was no answer, he kept calling till he got tired, he then decided to leave a message for his safe landing in the States.They got a cab which took them to a hotel where they lodged for the time being.
The ringing of his phone woke him up from his sleep. He sluggishly woke up and picked up the call "Hello dear, how are you?" Gracie spoke from the other end "I'm fine, how about you? Have been taking good care of yourself?" Damien asked "Yes, I have. You don't need to worry about me" Gracie assured "Why didn't you pick up when I called yesterday? Where were you?" Damien asked "I left my phone in my room when I was in the kitchen" Gracie lied "I was just informing you I've gotten here safely," Damien said "Okay, how far has your search gotten? Any news about her?" Gracie asked eagerly "Yeah, I saw the woman she came with. Lawrence and I are going to see the woman tomorrow" Damien explained "That's a good thing, at least you have a lead," Gracie said excitedly " I've to go I'll talk to you later," Damien said and with that, he ended the call He stood up from the bed and got into the shower, he kept thinking about the lady from the restaurant. He hurriedly took his bath and d
"I'm so sorry sweetheart, my car broke down and I had to fix it. You forgive mummy, right?" A lady said, hugging the little girl Damien met earlier. "It's okay mummy let's go home, I'm hungry," the little girl said They walked hand in hand to the car, as the little girl was getting into the car, the woman noticed she was holding something and stopped to look at it clearly " Noelle? What is that in your hands?" the lady asked the kid "Oh, it's a chocolate bar," Noelle said excitedly "Where did you get that?" the lady asked "Mr. Handsome gave it to me when I was sitting here all alone waiting for you" Noelle smiled remembering how caring Damien looked when he spoke to her. She wished she could meet him again "Mr. Handsome? Who is Mr handsome? And haven't I warned you not to accept gifts from strangers?" the lady said with a frown "You know I personally hate strangers, but he is different. He looked harmless to me. Please let me keep this Mum, please" Noelle shrugged "Fine, you
Laura began to panic when she learned Damien is a brother to Queenster, she thought Nora said she had gotten rid of Queenster's brother too if she remembers correctly."Queenster's brother is...dead so how come you are claiming to be Queenster's brother" Laura stuttered, trying to appear bold" Oh really, I guess that's what your so-called cousin Nora told you right? But I guess she never told you we were three siblings, Gabriel, Queenster, and finally I, making what three. So if you feel you got rid of everyone, then I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but you didn't. You left out the most dangerous one of the three siblings" Damien laughed evilyLaura began moving back when Damien started walking towards her, laughing so loud, giving him a devilish look. All this while, Lawrence had set his camera, recording every of their conversation. He made sure Damien didn't appear in the video, just Laura." Please don't harm me. I'm a changed person now and I have no connection with Nora anymore
Damien and Lawrence got back to the hotel, they went straight to Damien's room. Damien leaned on the wall with his head up, while Lawrence just sat on the bed studying Damien for a while. The room was so silent, the two young men in the room were thinking about the whole situation at hand now."Did you mean it when you said you will ruin her family if she doesn't provide for your sister?" Lawrence broke the silenceDamien turned his attention to Lawrence with an expressionless face"Was I laughing when I said that? Did you think I'm joking? " Damien askedLawrence studied Damien's face for any sign of emotion but there was none. "Why do you want to involve the innocent family in this issue? You are no different from Nora and Laura if you go on with that" Lawrence asked"Really, did you just say innocent family? My family too was innocent when she connived with that Jezebel to ruin us. My mother did nothing to them, I don't know of their past life though. Even if my mother wronged the
** States~Seattle****Next morning***Damien and Lawrence set out to Laura's house after they finished eating their breakfast. They got a cab and went straight to Laura's home. They got there after a short period, just as Laura was taking Noelle to board her school bus which was waiting in front of their house"Hey there Mr. Handsome," Noelle waved at Damien, sighting him from afarLaura turned sharply to behold Damien walking towards them with the same guy he came with yesterday, Lawrence if she remembers correctlyDamien waved back at Noelle since she was getting into her bus"Be a good girl at school okay?" Damien saidNoelle nodded and went on to enter the busLaura stood there watching Damien and Lawrence as they walked to her"Hello, Mrs. Laura Jones" Damien greeted sarcasticallyLawrence just smirked as Laura became restless once again. She had planned on leaving the house right after Noelle had taken her bus, little did she know the duo was going to come so early in the mornin
They all turned to the doorway to look at the owner of the voice. Laura's eyes widen in shock as she saw the person standing there with tears, the look in his eyes was one she had never wished to see, the look of disappointment. "How could you be this wicked and heartless? I would have never believed it if anyone had told me the woman I'm married to was this evil" Dennis said, as tears of disappointment kept running down his face The person who happened to be standing in the doorway was Dennis, Laura's husband. He had forgotten some files in the house and he decided to come and pick them up quickly and leave for work. In a hurry and not to bother the security too much, he packed his car outside the house and came in instead, which is why they didn't notice his presence. He had been standing outside listening to all their conversation as he happen to have heard the part where she had connived with Nora to bring Queenster to the States, he paused and decided to listen to everything. N
Noelle kept giggling as she raced up the stairs, her father chasing her. She missed a step and rolled down the stairs"Noelle...." Dennis screamedEverybody turned their attention to the father and daughter little play but was shocked to see little Noelle rolling down the stairs while her father was standing halfway on the stairs on the other side. The stairs were two, one on the left and another on the right. Noelle was fast enough to climb the right stairs which were the closest while Dennis chased her. She was already on the other staircase on the left when Dennis tried catching her on the right staircase. Due to the excitement of running around, she missed a step when she tried to look back at her father."My baby!!!!" Laura screamed in agonyEverybody rushed to the stairs but Damien was faster, he picked Noelle up and headed out immediately. He dropped her in Dennis's car and they all got in boozing off to the hospital. ***At the hospital**Laura couldn't stop crying since Noelle
