Twenty minutes earlier. Damien had been searching for a perfect store to buy the gadgets he needed. If he wanted to get an IOS product and an android product, he doubted if he would find them in the same store. So, to save himself the stress of going to several places, he had gone through the stress of searching for a perfect store.He halted at the front of a store. "Multi Store."He muttered, looking at the inscription at the top of the door post. "This must be it."He walked into the store. He walked straight to some of the people wearing a uniformed t-shirt, which had the name of the store on it. "Welcome."There was a lady smiling at him. "Hey. I need an iMac laptop and Samasung Galaxy S38.""Okay, sir. Please come with me."As soon as the lady offered to attend to him, Damien followed her. But when he turned, he saw a man staring weirdly at him. The man had contempt in his face. And the man was wearing the same t-shirt the lady was wearing. WHAT A WEIRDO. Damien didn't th
"Where do you think you are going?"He could distinguish the voice of the elderly man from Dave's. Before he could walk into the corner that separated the security post from the main gate, he felt a body zoom past him and a hand on his shoulder. He shut his eyes and sighed. The elderly man had spun him around, and Dave was standing behind him. "Are you really a punching bag or what? You didn't learn your lesson the last time? Do you want me to break your bones before you stop coming here?""I'll ask you just once, leave at once."Dave seconded the elderly man. Damien opened his eyes, then puffed. "Is this how you treat every of your customers?""This spithead. Did you just say customer? I'm not sure you understand what that word means."The elderly man snapped. "Perhaps you were not listening! So, I'm going to repeat myself."Damien paused for a while. "Which of your penthouses is the costliest? I want to make a purchase right away."Damien staked. Dave burst out laughing. "You
Damien decided to put the call on loudspeaker."Please forgive me, Sir. I'll call him right away. Please do not leave yet. He will come to his senses."Not only were Dave and Viera stunned, but sweat was starting to pool at the corners of the temple of the man in the car. The call was hung and the phone of the man started to ring. "Marcus. Marcus! Are you out of your mind? Do you want to die? I don't think you have any idea who that man is. I swear to God, if you are unable to bring him to my office in the next twenty minutes. I'll skin you alive and make sure that you remain a bum for the rest of your life!!!"Marcus, the man in the car, started to shiver in fear. The general manager had just dropped the call, but Marcus was reluctant to drop the phone. When he got a grip, he suddenly pushed the door open, ran, and fell at Damien's feet. "Please, punish me, Sir. I was not in my right mind. I had no idea what got over me. I had no idea what suddenly possessed me. I don't deserve t
"Elisa, what are you doing?"Ceballos called when he saw the laptop drop off Elisa's hands. But when he saw the reaction of Elisa, he was more interested yet confused. Before he could ask any further questions,"Damien!"Elisa exclaimed, calling his name so loudly. Damien kept a stare at her for a while. "What are you doing here, Damien?"She proceeded to ask. Ceballos seemed to be the only who was confused amongst the group. "Damien? Who is Damien?"Ceballos asked, looking from Elisa to Damien. "Are you sure that you are not high or something? This is Mr Kevin. Damien? Maybe you are mistaking him for someone else."Ceballos tried to explain to Elisa, based on his knowledge. "I was going to ask the same question."Damien took a glance at Ceballos and slowly looked back to Elisa. "Hi, Miss. Have you seen someone who looks like me? Someone who goes by that name? I mean, you wouldn't be the first person who calls me that. A few people had called me by that name in the past few days
"Damien! Don't leave yet!!"Elisa hurried to catch up with him. She almost tripped and fell because of the haste; she was wearing heels. "What did you think you were doing? Huh? Is this some sort of prank, or do you really think I am foolish?"Elisa accused, staring him dead in the eyes. "For a moment, I almost fell for the tricks. What do you think I am? A toddler? An infant or a gullible teenager?"She scoffed, trying to catch her breath. "I guess I now understand why the rest of the girls are mad. You would never admit that they have grown. You still believe that they were still about twenty and would fall for your little pranks.""I really don't understand what happened there with you and my boss, the general manager. I have no idea why he was bowing to you and kneeling. I have no idea what you said to him or what you made him believe. But you should know that I know all your tricks. You didn't really think that would work on me? Did you?"She started to fan herself with her ha
For a sheer second, Damien stood up and walked to the door and opened it with a fingerprint. He turned to Marcus, who was gasping for air, because of how magnificent the living room looked,"Go outside for a while. I need to be left alone.""Huh?"Marcus turned to him. When he saw how serious Damien was, he couldn't dispute, let alone say another word. He nodded and walked to the door. As soon as he stepped out, Damien walked back to the couch, and the door shut itself behind him. Point in time, he settled back down on the couch. A young lady who looked to be in her early twenties walked to a seat on a chair in the T!ktok Live video. "Hey guys! I'm back again. I was a little busy today. Got something to go around with my mom's. She broke some funny news to me and I got mad at her. So, I've been in a bad mood since then. But then y'all know that I will always make myself available for all of you."Damien watched as the love emoji filled the screen. "She's just like her mother. Alway
A couple miles away from the tower and the whole of Boldyville Estate, there was a huge mansion. An opulent mansion which had a breathtaking interior, but nothing close to the utopian of the tower. Inside one of the rooms of the Mansion, there was a girl in her early twenties seated on a chair and leaning forward to the screen of her laptop. Her jaws were dropped and her beautiful blue eyes bulging at the sockets.Her eyes traced one of the notifications at the top of her live video which read,[Ping! KV cannot gift aeroplanes anymore today.]She just kept staring at the screen. It was as though she was having a hard time understanding what was happening or what was right there in front of her. Comments started to flood in on the screen. [I'd be fucking damned.][This cannot be possible.][Bro, what the hell is happening?][Is this even real?][Darren?][Darren - I lost count.][Must be a billion or so][Woop! Woop! That's the sound of the fucking FBI.]Though the messages kept flo
"What the fuck? The FBI?"Damien couldn't believe his eyes. While he was thinking of impressing his daughter, he never thought of the possibility of such an outcome. "What do I do?"He stared for a while. He was no longer interested in the live video anymore. "Mario sent a friend request. Mr Shou sent another. And the FBI too -"His eyes widened when he noticed something he had missed. "Not a request. It was actually a message. How come the rest sent a request, but they sent a message?"His confusion had faded off suddenly, and rage was beginning to get the best of him. He opened the message. [FBI - Hi, Mr KV. I'm sure by now you know who we are. Our name is well spelt out. We noticed some sort of transaction done by you on this platform about a couple of minutes ago. With no offence triggered, do you mind if we come to you or would you come to us? We would need to ask you a couple of questions in person.]After reading the message, Damien waited for a while. Then he started to t
