Pheona cried and pleaded with Gary not to go on with the decision he has taken as it will shatter their family. Damien walked towards his parents' room as he heard sobs coming from there. He got there and to his surprise, he saw his father shouting at his mother looking pissed. "I'm marrying Nora whether you like it or not. It's not like I need your approval to do anything"Gary spat. Damien was beyond shocked when he heard his father's confession. He has always known that Nora was up to no good the first time he saw her with his dad. "Dad!!!", Tell me it's a joke" Damien yelled.

Damien stood behind the door crying uncontrollably, Gracie called both Gabriel and Queenster to the hospital. Minutes later, Queenster got to the hospital already crying. Gracie explained to them from when she left home to the market, and she came to meet her lying on the floor. They tried to call Mr. Smith, but he wasn't answering, they gave up and just waited outside. Suddenly they saw a stretcher move past them speedily with Gabriel lying on it covered in blood. They rushed to stop the nurses and inquired what is happening. " A truck run into him" the nurses explained and rushed him into the operation theater. They lost all hope and could do nothing but wait for feedback. Pheona was given shocks, but it was too late, and she couldn't make it.

***Five years later*** A man dressed in all black is standing in an office that almost looked like a room considering how it has been endowed. He was staring at the scenery of the city since his office is made of glass and as such he's privileged to see everything going on outside. He was lost in his thoughts staring outside with this cold aura that's always around wherever he's present. "Sir, you called for me." Marisa, his assistant said. "What's my schedule for the day?" he asked coldly. "You have a meeting with the board members, another meeting with the Smiths cooperation and the chairwoman of the Smiths Cooperation invited you for a dinner. That's all Sir" she replied, stealing glances at him now and then. She had a crush on her boss the very day she stepped foot in the Dream company. She has tried to make him notice her but all her efforts went down the drain. She wonders if he is made of stone, and he never shows any emotion, he's always looking cold and expressionless.

***Damien's residence*** "Damien, are you not going to work today?" Gracie knocked on his door. He grumpily woke up and opened the door for her. "Don't tell me you've been sleeping all along" she scolded "Good morning" he greeted. Gracie nodded her head and began putting the place in order. He went into the bathroom and did his business, he came out and dressed for work. He went downstairs and met his breakfast already served, he ate and kissed her goodbye. Gracie sighed as she watched his car drive off, she missed the once jovial Damien she knew. She hoped one day she will see him smile genuinely and do away with the scary look he puts on always. ***Smiths Cooperation*** In Nora's office, Lawrence is seated with her as they planned on how to go about the deal and the profit share each company is going to gain. They concluded everything and just as Lawrence made to leave, she insisted on seeing him off. "You stood me up last night, Mr. Lawrence," she said calmly "I had other

"Hey man, what's up?"Lawrence paused as he saw tears in his eyes coming into Damien's office. He gently closed the door and pulled a chair to sit on. "Damien, what's wrong? Did something happen? Why are you like this all of a sudden?"Lawrence said with a concerned look"Lawrence, I feel empty right now I don't know how to express myself at this point," he said smiling sadly, as tears of joy kept running down his cheeks."Are you feeling sick? Do you want me to take you to the hospital? Talk to me, you're making me feel restless with you looking like this" Lawrence said looking worried"I'm fine Lawrence, stop nagging like a pregnant woman" Damien chuckled, wiping the traces of tears on his face. Lawrence just stared at him with a confused look. Damien burst into laughter when he saw the look on Lawrence's face which shocked Lawrence because Damien he knows hardly laughs. When Damien's laugh subsided, Lawrence glared at him giving him the"start talking" kind of look. Damien raised hi
Darkness Overruling This is getting too much
***Dream company***Damien is sitting in his office, with loads of files piled on his table. He is seriously working on the important files so as not to leave loads of work behind as he's preparing to go to the States.He had a look of exhaustion visible on his face but he kept working on the files one after the other, sipping on the coffee on his table from time to time. Lawrence walked in and looked at Damien with pity, he looked at the half-dead man sitting in the CEO's seat who still had a determined expression on his face."Com'on Damien, do you want to die young? Why are you choking yourself with so much work? " Lawrence said concerned about his friend's state. Damien almost looked pale, as though he had been sick for weeks."I've got to finish this little work today. I don't want any office work distracting me while I'm away." Damien muttered tiredly"That doesn't imply you kill yourself with work. You call this mountain you have on your table a little work? I bet even before

***Dream company***Damien just finished working on the files, he ordered his lunch to be brought to his office just like always. He has never been to the cafeteria in the company before, he always eats in his office and only one person is allowed to do so, his assistant, Marissa."Sir, please your food is here" Marissa knocked"Bring it in," Damien said in his usual cold voiceMarissa went in and dropped the food, she looked at tired looking Damien and felt sorry for him. She wished she could do something to relieve him, but this scary Boss of hers is making it hard to even allow her to try for once.Damien felt her eyes still on him and looked up from the food he is eating. "Why are you still here?" he snapped"Nothing Sir, I'm sorry," she said embarrassed by her act, and left the office immediatelyShe didn't realize she had been staring too much, and like always she embarrassed herself in front of him once again. She stomped her feet on the floor angrily and left for the cafeteri

Damien packed all the files and dropped them in his drawer, he cleared his table and put the place in order. He left his office, locked it, and headed outside the company. He got to his car and met Lawrence leaning on his car with a long face."What is the problem? Why the long face?"Damien asked"Why would you make that shameless thing in charge during your absence," Lawrence said with a frownHe was not in support of Damien putting Marissa in charge of the company, he felt this temporal position will get into her head and she'll begin to start misbehaving and treating her colleagues badly."Is that why you are wearing that long face? Who did you expect me to hand the place to? She's my assistant, Lawrence and I can't do anything about it." Damien said"I understand she's your assistant, but that lady is full of wickedness" Lawrence scoffed"Lawrence are you sure this is not about something else? Because you're taking this too far, or did she do anything to you?" Damien asked since h

Flight FR 6574 now boarding at gate 16," The announcement came again for the fifth time.

He opened it and everybody was eager to know what it is. Damien brought out a diamond bracelet from it, and everyone's eyes widen in shock, wondering how a little girl like her got such an expensive bracelet"Where did you get this from Noelle?" Damien asked when he recovered from the shock"Tell me did you like my farewell gift too?" She asked happily"I do, though there was no need for it but I can't refuse it since it's from you. But tell me where did you get it from?" Damien said"It was a special request I made from my father's brother, Uncle Grey, on my birthday.

What you just did get the little girl scared, although she is scared yet, she still thinks about you. She doesn't like you getting mad at all, just see her actions as childish and forgive her" Damien said"I'm not mad at her, I just don't want to make any mistake of losing her for any reason.

She is all I have got, that's why I want to make sure she is always fine" Dennis said as more tears kept rolling down his face"I don't know much about parenting but the little time I spent with my mom got me to understand the undying love your parents have for your

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.
