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
Darkness Overruling A wonderful sight to behold
***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
Darkness Overruling Please stay with him always
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
Darkness Overruling A trip to find his sister
Gracie prepared to go visit Gary as usual, although he had not been so good to them in the past, she still had some pity for him when she learned about his illness. She got ready and left the house for the hospital. ** At the airport** Damien and Lawrence walked in and sat down waiting for the departure of the plane. "Good morning. This is an announcement for all passengers traveling on the 9:30 flight TOM 1223 to the States. This flight is delayed by 5 minutes due to some inconvenience" They heard someone announce, Lawrence, laughed lightly as he studied Damien's face when the announcement was made. Damien looked disturbed by all the waiting they are doing. "Would all passengers traveling to the States on flight FR3421 please have your boarding passes and passports ready for boarding. Flight FR3421 now boarding at gate 21." The announcement came again and Damien sighed in relief "This is the final boarding call for passengers Gemma and Ryan Grey flying to Athens on flight EZ9

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.
Darkness Overruling And you are?
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
Darkness Overruling Who exactly are you?
"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
Darkness Overruling You left out the most dangerous one
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

We can't keep her from her past forever, and besides her brother needs her as much as we do too," Mr Banks said trying to reason with her.The doorbell rang interrupting their conversation.

Mrs Banks announced, drawing Mr Banks' attention."Oh Williams, you are here. We were not expecting you today. I don't remember calling for you either or did you?"

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. You are a special person that's why I'm giving it to you as a f

Besides kids don't know what we go through just to make them feel happy. She pulled that stunt on you guys just for fun, she never meant for it to go this far, you don't have to get worked up with her actions all the time. 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 very dear to me, whenever she does such a thing, it gets my heart racing. 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. "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.
