"What did I choose? Did I choose the cougar? I hope not."
"Never! I can't choose that. I already have nine super gorgeous ladies back in Vegas. I don't want to make any fucking lady cum. If it is any other task, I wouldn't mind. I don't want a cougar!!!""The last thing on the mind of young man who is about to be a father is drilling the hole of some old lady."He started to feel cold breeze and cosiness crawling up his skin. That feeling was familiar with one of the feelings he had back on the island."Help! Help!!!"Suddenly, there came a yelp from behind him."What was that?"He spun around to see where the shout had come from. But immediately he spun around, he lost his balance.Splash! His body in the water!He pushed his head out of the water, breathing heavily, trying to catch his breath.Looking around, he noticed a sort of raft flowing away from him. He deduced immediately. That was what he was standing on. He pushed his body through the water and climbed on the raft."Oh my goodness! I'm in the middle of a blue ocean?"He gasped, looking around.Then, instinctively, he recalled that there was someone who had called him. He turned,"A yacht. The cougar?" He hurled himself against the cosy and fierce breeze of the ocean... deep inside the ocean, he dived.He pushed his body up when he got to the yacht and climbed on it. When he climbed on the yacht, he made sure to appear behind the lady who was still waiting for him.He had his reasons for appearing behind her. He wanted to be sure whom he was dealing with. A cougar or an entrepreneur.OR COULD SHE BE THE MAID OF A REJECTED PRINCE?He chuckled softly, shaking his head.I MUST BE INSANE. SHE IS DRESSED IN A MODERN WAY. THAT IS NOT POSSIBLE. SINCE WHEN DID MAIDS WHERE SUITS?"Where did he go? Did he drown?"He heard the young lady say in a worried tone. Suddenly, the lady turned around at once towards him. Immediately, the lady saw him, she freaked out and almost lost her balance at the edge of the yacht.She fell backwards, off the railing and towards the water..."Ahhh!!!"She screamed."Shit."Damien ran to save her. His distance to her was quite far. But suddenly, he felt a force aid his frame, sweeping him through the air in a crazed zoom. And in the blink of an eye, he was holding on to the lady, preventing her from falling.She pushed her head into his chest, and he balanced the both of them."Oh, thank you."She raised her head to look him in the eyes."It's cool. Now, let's go. What's the matter?"Damien just wanted to be done with this."How did you do that, though?"The young beautiful lady was quite interested in how he had helped her from falling."I mean, you were very far from me.""See, lady. Do you have a problem or not?""I'm sorry. Please come with me."The lady, though offended, couldn't act on it. After all, she needed his help.She led the way into the yacht and then to a particular floor of the yacht. She pushed the door open.Damien was greeted by blinding lights. It was like a hall. And there were so many polished men dressed in suits, extrinsically wealthy, already seated. Waiting for something. For someone?The lady leaned towards him,"You are my boyfriend. You'll figure it out."She smiled at him and walked away in another direction."Hey... hey..."While Damien was trying to call her back, about three hefty guys walked to him, and two of them grabbed both his arms. And with weird smiles in their faces, they led Damien up the podium, which was in the middle of the hall."We'll have your argument now, Mr Coman."A voice called from the left as soon as Alves got to the podium. All eyes were on him.... flashes of camera and...----MR COMAN? WHO THE HELL IS THAT?Damien was confused. There was no one else there but him.AM I MR COMAN? If all eyes were on him, it could only mean that everyone was waiting for him.BUT FOR WHAT? WHY ARE THEY WAITING FOR ME? Suddenly, he recalled what the lady told him,"You are my boyfriend."I COULD RUN AWAY THOUGH. IF I DO, WHO CAN STOP ME?He thought."You must complete the task."He recalled the warning of the lady from the hall.OH SHIT, WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO? I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THE FUCK I OUGHT TO SAY.He noticed the men seated whispering. It was now or never for him.His eyes zoomed through the meeting space. His eyes scurry in search of just one person. His girlfriend?There she was, seated as though nothing was going wrong. There was a soft smile idling in her face. Damien squinted his eyes in rage at her, but she didn’t look like she cared.HOW CAN SOMEONE IN THEIR RIGHT MIND, FIND SOMEONE LOOKING TARDY AND ASK THEM TO COME TO THEIR AID? SOMEONE YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW!Damien looked down at himself. He was still wet and dripping.IS THIS LADY INSANE? WHY AM I EVEN STILL STANDING HERE? I LOOK LIKE A FOOL TO THIS PEOPLE.The more Damien let the thought invade his mind, the vexed he was.FUCK THIS!He wanted to walk away. Suddenly, he noticed something like a pulpit. On the pulpit, there was something that looked like a booklet.WHAT IS THIS? COULD IT BE HELPFUL?He moved closer to the pulpit.READ ME.Was the inscription that was on the cover page of the booklet."Read me?"He raised his head,"Ladies and gentlemen, forgive me for my hesitation. Let's get to business."He started to read from the book,"Judging by the status of events and the economic situation clouding the success and growth of our businesses, it is important that you understand that these points presented by my girlfriend, are not to ridicule your choices but put things in check.""If we give her a few weeks to implement the proposals I tell you, take my words, you'll have nothing to worry about. And if things go south after the time frame, come after me. I will take responsibility for it."LIE! I WON'T TAKE SHIT!His thought process interrupted the speech. He continued immediately,"Though majority of you don't know, but I'm more than a billionaire.""There is no need to squander more words. The flop in the act was chaos caused by the economic crisis, which erupted like a volcano over the week. Time is the best healer."He looked away from the book and nodded at the people.Suddenly, everyone got up on their feet, a rain of applause to drown him in....IS THAT IT?Damien wondered. He didn't even believe any of the words he said. And he felt bored by the task.In the middle of all that, the young lady stood up and started to walk towards him."That's right. Come here and tell me what the fuck that was..."Damien cussed under his breath. As soon as the lady got to him, he raved,"How could you do that to ---"He choked on his words. He felt warm, soft flesh on his lips, then in his lips...When his brain registered, he was stunned to realise what was happening...She was kissing him..."Woo! Woo! Go, Marie!!!"A woop came from the audience, and the roar of applause increased. And Marie went even deeper and more intentionally...Damien snatched his lips, almost pushing her away. She was embarrassed. "What the hell was that? How could you kiss me without my consent?"Damien scolded, ignoring her signals for him to stop. "It's not as if you even know how to kiss. What the hell, chewing my lips as though she found some cow hide."He stomped off. While the lady tried to speak to the dignitaries, "I'm-- I -"She decided to walk away, too, covering her face. Dead stares!"How dare she do that? Who the fuck does she think she is? She must have so much guts to think she could casually do that and get away with it."Damien had walked out and was climbing the stairs, which led to the deck of the yacht. "If it was the other way round, and we were in Vegas, they'd be a myriad of critiques trying to have my throat. But now that I did it, I'd be called cruel and bad."He grunted again. "Fucked up society. I just want to punch everybody."He shut his eyes gritting his teeth. "If it wasn't because of that crazy bitch
Damien was dumbfounded and clueless. He just stared into the empty space. His lips trembling. "So which would it be? The first or the second option?"The feminine voice came again. "You know what you are doing. You already know what I am going to choose. That's why you are messing with me."Damien finally found his voice. "That's not true, Damien. You are quite an interesting male. You have a strong will, so I wouldn't be surprised if you choose the second option."Damien scoffed,"Are you kidding me? Who would want to go back to being a trash? I mean, who would go back to being ridiculed, hated, and wished bad luck even by his own family? Tell me!! Strong will, my ass."Damien's tone was fierce and precise. And because of the silence, which succeeded the agitation, he feared that he had lost the audience with the lady. "Are you still there?"He wanted to make sure. "Seems like you have finally made a choice. We will get to business as soon as possible.""What business is that?"
The emblem was lying face down; the dragon inmprint brushing the earth. Heave! Heave! Then flat again. Push! Push! Then, a little hand was seen pushing the emblem from beneath.As soon as there was enough space between the emblem and the earth, a body rolled from beneath the emblem. Thud! The emblem fell again. Flat! Damien rolled over his back, his face to the empty and blue sky. "God! That was so exhausting."He sighed in relief. Then suddenly, his face grew serious as though something had just occurred to him. "Wait a minute."He jumped on his feet. When he turned to the emblem, he noticed that he was about the same height as the emblem. "What happened to me? What the fuck happened to me? Why am I so little?"He ran to the emblem and tried to lift it up. His two hands beneath the tips of the emblem but he couldn't even lift it. Even when he did lift it, it was just a quarter inch high. He let it drop and jumped to the back; if he had stayed back, the emblem could have fallen
When first Damien opened his eyes, they hurt. Then he opened them again. He was just waking from what seemed like a long sleep. He sat up. Immediately he sat up, he realised that his body felt weird, compared to earlier. "What happened after the crash? Where I am?"He looked quickly around him. There were wooden chairs and a table. It looked like he was inside a manor. Moving one of his hands, his attention fell back on the weirdness he felt on his body earlier. He lifted his hand to his face, then looked down his body, his jaws dropping,"I'm back to my old self?"He jumped up on his feet. He shook his legs and his body. "I'm fully grown. I'm a big man."He quickly reached his hands to his groin and felt it. He chuckled softly, "Oh yeah, it's there.""Where is the emblem?"A sudden voice grew out of the room. He knew who owned the voice. "Oh yes! The Emblem."He wasn't paying any attention to the voice at first. He only felt the need to find the emblem. He turned around, sear
YOU'LL RETURN TO MARIE. The voice was in his head, and it was very loud. But then other loud voices started to come from his side. His eyes flung open. He tried to turn his neck, but he felt pain,"Ow."He groaned. "Gentle man, are you alright?"A little voice came from beside him. There was an old lady seated next to him. Because of the confused state he was in, he couldn't even answer the woman. Instead, he looked to the other side. He was seated next to a window. He looked through. There were a couple of people and planes outside."An airport?"He asked himself. "Ladies and gentlemen, please fasten your seat belt. The flight to Vegas is up in five minutes."He heard the loud speaker. "I'm in a plane. In a plane to Vegas?""Yes, you are, dear. Dreams do come true."The old lady beside him said. Damien had been talking to himself because of how confused he was about where he was. But the old lady seemed to have misconstrued. "You see, the first time I got on a plane, it was as
"What's taking so much time?"The yelled at Damien; Damien had been fumbling through his pockets for a while now. He had agreed to pay the caber forgetting that he had no money on him. "I forgot. I have no cash on me. I only have my card."Damien lied. JUST GO AWAY. PLEASE. "Then take me to an ATM stand and let's withdraw.""What!"Damien didn't expect that. "Oh, you don't want to pay? Is that why you are pretending? You are delaying me because you have no money? Is that right? So, you decided to bring to Boldyville to impress me?"At that point, Damien was lost. He had no idea what the man was talking about. "How can someone dressed like you vist Boldyville? You are one of those wannabes who just love to front, eh? Why did I even take you seriously in the first place? You must have ran away from that lady because you stole something from her. Or was it also because you couldn't pay her?"Damien was speechless."You don't even know me. How could you say those things?"Damien felt
"Twenty years are gone now?""What has changed?""What did these girls do to my estate? What did they do to Boldyville?"Damien looked across the small motel room to the bed. The old man from the pub was snoring so loudly it would be mistaken for a raving motorcycle.He turned to the window and lifted the blind. "The day is bright. How did it happen so fast? It was just as if I took a nap."He stood up, stretching his body. "Where could they be? They are obviously not in the estate. Where are they hiding after stealing what belongs to me?""I never wanted to trust them. I always knew that they were shady and evil. How could I have taken such a ris---"A realisation dawned on him. "It wasn't by choice. If that crazy lady hadn't sent that bastard to take me away to the realm, all this wouldn't have happened. But then how could two days equals decades?"The old man grumbled, almost rolling off the bed. Damien walked to him and helped him lie properly. Tucked him in, then walked towar
"It's you, Elisa, isn't it? You are Elisa."Though it was a voice in his head that had given a clue, yet staring at the lady and analysing the features of her face, Damien was slowly putting together the memories. "You have changed a lot. You have grown into a very beautiful woman."At that few seconds, he was mesmerised by her features and looks. Elisa was more curvy, bustier, and her skin clearer. "But then, what's this that I---""Excuse me, I don't know you. I think you have the wrong person."The woman snapped and turned around at once, walking away. Damien watched as she walked briskly away. She almost lost her balance with the manner at which she stomped. "She is the one. I'm positive."Damien nodded firmly. He hurried to catch her. He grabbed her arm and spun her around. "It's you, Elisa. Why are you lying to me. I know it's you. Though you are fully grown now, yet I couldn't have missed you in a glance."The woman eyes were bulging. She looked stunned and surprised. Then
