"Who could this be? Why did he suddenly ask to meet me? How did he get my number? And my father? What does he know about him?"Charles was standing across the road from the location which he had received from the unknown number."NOBODY has ever talked to me about my father. Aside from my grandma and her friend, no one else knows about him. Who could this person be?"He was nervous and trying to be cautious, too. He didn't want to walk into a trap. "Or could this be one of Ari's witless tricks?"Since he couldn't arrive at a conclusion only by himself, he crossed the road and headed towards the restaurant. When he entered, he looked around. Then his phone started to buzz again. Receiving the call,"Look up."The voice over the speaker said. When he looked up, there was a man dressed in a long grey coat seated at the rear corner of the restaurant. Charles walked to the man. The man was in his early fifties. He had stylish black hair with the hint of grey. Though middle-aged, it coul
"I shot him!"Ayisha claimed, pacing the room. "And then what? You shot him, then what? He is he dead?"Allison was impatient and pissed. She was just a merrier version of the rest of the ladies who were boiling in rage. "No, he is not dead. But he won't survive it. I aimed for his head, but he was at the door, so I missed and hit his shoulder."The nine ladies were all scattered around the large hall of the meeting. Unlike the previous moments when they would gather around the table, this time around, it was obvious that they were all worried. "In other words, he is not dead. I can only imagine what has happened to you these past years."Lisa scorned. "Didn't you say you were the best at this? How could you even miss it? Did you do it intentionally? Don't tell me that you already developed feelings for him!""Lisa, that's going too far. Let's not do that to each other."Mira called Lisa's attention, but Lisa didn't look like she felt remorseful. "Why didn't you go ahead and do i
"Hey, look!"One of the four girls called the attention of the rest. Two looked at once, but Mara and the other were busy with something on T!ktok. "Could that be him?""Mara, look. Look!""What's the matter, is ---"None of the girls needed to take a guess anymore. The young man who had a mask on was walking towards them. It must surely be the person they had been waiting for. The billionaire gifter from tiktok. "Hey ladies."Damien said in a husky and deep voice when he got to them. "Oh God, his voice is so hot."One of the girls whispered to the other. "Hi..."Mara sounded very nervous as she got up on her feet. The rest of the girls were jumpy out of excitement, too. "Are you KV from Tiktok?"Mara asked. "Yes, I am. May I sit?""Of course, please sit."Mara offered, and Damien settled down. He found himself seated in the middle of two of the girls. They were seated around a big table. "Hope you didn't have a hard time locating this place?"Mara asked, settling down too. "N
JUVE was one of the most popular places in Vegas. It was neither a restaurant nor a store. It was just an enclosure for privileged people who wanted to be left alone from the normal hustling and bustling of each day. On the inside, the building was divided into outlets, where two people could meet in their own outlet or closet, which was demarcated. It wasn't hard for Damien to find Leroy, who was already there. "I was just about to call you? How did you find me here?"Leroy couldn't hide how surprised he was. There were about seventy outlets in the building, and Damien found him in a short period of time?! How possible!!!"Were you hanging around the neighbourhood? How did you get here so fast?"Damien flipped the coin. Leroy could take the initiative that Damien didn't want to answer his question. And he wasn't the type to force words out of his Young Master. "I had a business not far away from here. Your call came in while I was about to leave. Hence, my punctuality."Damien no
"Young Master."Leroy was quick to act when he saw the ladies walking with their heads high towards Damien. "Go to the car."Damien said to him, but Leroy didn't budge. Damien was about to scold him for refusing instruction when he was interrupted,"It's you, Damien, isn't it?"Lisa sneered. "I heard that you changed your name too. Who were you trying to fool? Did you really think that we would really fall for that?"Allison added."Don't y'all find it strange though, this good for nothing scumbag is actually dressed in a tux. Did you steal it or what?"Evelyn scorned. And the rest of the girls laughed. "Are you nuts?"Leroy stepped forward and slapped Evelyn across the face. Damien was a little surprised by the sudden action of Leroy. Leroy was a man of principle. He had devoted his life to looking for Damien all his life. And now that he finally found him, wouldn't he do everything in his power to protect him from further oppression Damien had experienced in his previous years?
Damien drove into the Boldyville Estate. "Hey guys, how have you been?"He called at the two security men. "Welcome back, Boss.""We miss you."The two men said as they watched the car drive off. "Where has he been, though?""How am I supposed to know? Did I ever leave my post?"Damien drove towards the seamless garage, which paved right in front of him. He drove in. He walked to the door of the tower and put his palm for recognition. The door opened to the blasting of music, which was at its highest volume. Damien was a little taken aback by that. The nine girls were dancing, jumping around and laughing in the centre of the living room. Blasting music. While he was standing at the door, before he opened it, he couldn't hear a thing, not even a faint sound. He remembered that the walls of the tower were soundproof. When the girls saw him, they stopped dancing, but they didn't show any sense of responsibility or remorse. "Hey, who are you, and what are you doing here?"One of t
Elisa and Jada walked into a big jewellery store. It was one of the biggest jewellery stores in Vegas. It was very spacious and had rare ornaments and precious stones. There were diamonds, silvers, and golden necklaces. Each ornament was locked away in safe glasses but up for display. "Is anyone looking at us weirdly?"Elisa asked Jada. Jada looked around for a while. It didn't seem as though anyone around gave a fuck about them. Naturally, the store was rarely visited because its customers were the first class citizens of Vegas. Mostly, these top-tier customers would have the manager of the store send a sales guide to deliver their packages. It was a good thing altogether for the two ladies. Even if there was a customer, it would be someone who didn't really care much about the status of the BMX."We are good. I'm glad that he helped us out. If not, we wouldn't be here now. That crazy Damien! We will surely make him pay!"Elisa cussed. "But then, it seems as if he is not Damien.
"Damien?""Kevin?"Both of the ladies said different names. But the only thing they had in common was the shock crawling up their faces. "What is he doing here?""How am I supposed to know?"Damien walked to them and halted at the front of the manager. The manager was a little surprised by the sudden offer of Damien. "I will take the necklace. We don't have to make a scene here."He said to the manager, hardly looking at either of the ladies. The manager looked at him from his head to toe. He cleared his throat,"I don't mean to be cocky, sir, but only members can shop with us here. I mean, before you can shop with us here, we'll need your membership card."The manager explained. When Jada and Elisa saw the sudden direction the discourse was taking, they suddenly forgot about their own predicament. It was Elisa who spoke first in a high tone,"There are some places where you should not be, Damien or Kevin. Whatever your name is.""And how dare you just walk in and say that you woul
Damien felt the scale fall of his eyes like a pair of glasses. He was on one knee, and his other knee pushed up. The position he was assuming was as though he was taking a sort of bow. When the realisation of recent events hit him, he quickly raised his head. He could feel no pain at all. He found himself in an empty white hall. The opulence and brightness of the hall was second to known. He couldn't really be sure what he had to take from this current state. But one thing that he knew for sure was the fact that he was no longer on the island. There was no part of the island that looked this way. Deep inside of him, he could feel that this hall felt like a familiar place. It was as though a remote part of him was trying so hard to reach a conclusion. Suddenly, he heard a sound behind him. It was a wheezing sound which was followed by a sequence of laboured breathing. He turned around at once. He wanted to be cautious. Though he recalled that he had beaten and defeated the Samurai
Damien's eyes popped out when he saw the Samurai. He shook his head and blinked a couple of times. He wasn't satisfied with that, so he closed his eyes for a while, then opened it again. He did that several times. He wanted to be sure that he was in his right mind and was not seeing things. There were a whole lot of things which he had just learnt just now. Things which he had been a fool believing the wrong context in the first place. Perhaps because he was overthinking things, that's why he was beginning to see things. But then he saw the Samurai smiling at him amidst the cannibals. There were so many reasons for Damien to be very surprised. As it seemed, the cannibals didn't know that the Samurai was in their midst. Damien quickly looked around the stadium. None of the people could see the Samurai, too. He was the only one seeing the Samurai!This got Damien quite confused and worried. He started to question his own sanity. He started to question the fact that whether or not al
Damien felt dumbfounded as he stared at the man who had just made the announcement. Perhaps his ears were playing some tricks on him, and he couldn't make the appropriate meaning of what the man had said. But immediately the man finished saying those words, the man fell on his knees in a heartfelt bow. In the blink of an eye, all the people in the stadium suddenly went on their knees in bows, too. Damien was so speechless that his head was blank. Why did things keep taking a different route every time he thinks he got things figured out?He tried to recall what the man had said about him. The man had addressed him with so many titles. There were so many titles he was already acquainted with, but he didn't know that quite a number of people were accessible. There were so many questions that arose in his mind. From where did this ocean of people come? He didn't remember reading in the news that people from Vegas would come to the island to celebrate the party. He didn't know what to
It was morning. Damien was lying in bed. His eyes slowly opened. He shut them and then opened them again. He felt a certain change in his body. He felt very light and refreshed. He felt like a newborn baby. He tried to recall what had happened before he fell asleep. The last memory that raced through his mind was when he was bitting at a nipple as he felt his body go into a state of shock. He recalled that he felt relieved after a flood of juice poured from the cap of his D. He smiled at the memory. He had never felt that better in a while."They were like Jada into five places." He muttered. Suddenly, something occurred to him. He sat up at once. He sniffed for a while. "Why is there no smell? Why does everywhere smell like nothing happened at all?" He became suddenly alert. He picked up his phone and checked. 12P.M."Oh shit." He jumped off the bed. It was 12 pm! Why was he still in bed? He shouldn't be in bed at this time of the day. "Today is the party! I shouldn't be her
Damien didn't react in a weird way. It's been a while since he had sex. Whenever he felt horny he would jerk off occasionally. It wouldn't be a bad idea if he just let himself go for this one time. After all, he would need his head clear for what he wants to do tomorrow. The five ladies rubbed their warm body on him, but he couldn't feel much because he was still putting on clothes. It was warm bodies to his hard suit. "Come with us." The ladies urged. One lady held the left arm, another the right arm, two at the front and one at the back. For a sheer second, he almost mistook the ladies for bodyguards instead of workers. He used the palmprint, and the door was pushed open. He was led straight to the room. With just one finger, he was pushed into the king-sized comfy bed. "Just relax, cutie. You don't have to do anything. Just stay relaxed." One of the ladies said. He wasn't planning to struggle with them in the first place. There were a whole lot of ways to have fun, but he had
About an hour later, Damien was sitting in the adorned chair in the meeting hall. It was time for the meeting. There were distinguished men settled at the table with him. The men looked quite excited to see him. He, on the other hand, was worried about a number of things. ONLY IF I HAD THE MAP, ONLY IF I DO. He couldn't help but ponder this over and over again. "If you will, Mr Kevin. We will start the meeting now." A man said, leaning forward to the mic. Damien nodded at the man. He looked at each corner of the table. There was a generous number of men present. But he wasn't interested in counting them. "Forgive us for not asking about your experience while coming to the island. I know that you are a wealthy man who loves to travel a lot. You must have seen a lot of things, yet it would be lovely to know what your experience was." The man said, smiling at Damien. Looking at as many faces as he could, Damien could tell that the men were pleased with him. They were acting like d
Damien couldn't think of what to say. What was stunning was the fact that the men were right there!!! How did they find him? Did they put a tail on him to track him in case he left his suite?Damien didn't really know what to make of this. But what was more important was the fact that he had just been discovered by the organisers. "It's you, Mr Kevin." One of the men stepped forward. Damien didn't find any reason to hold back anymore. He closed the pace. "What are you doing here, though? We thought that you would be in your suite?" Another man asked. Damien knew that he couldn't tell them the truth. And even if he wanted to tell them a lie, he would have to be quite sophisticated with it. "Well, I was just curious about all of this. When I was escorted by that lad, I didn't have the opportunity to look around. The lad was quite impatient with his duty. I guess the beauty of this space could not keep me in one place. Hence, I came looking around." Damien defended. He wasn't sure
No matter how hard Damien thought about this, it didn't make any sense to him. He was trying so hard to recall the last time that he visited the island. The last time he was here was when he was with Ari. How many months has it been that he was gone from this island to bring such a drastic and mouth-watering change?If Vegas was a country founded on the concept of magical realism, he wouldn't have had to worry much. If Vegas had the spiritual roots like the Nether realm where places could be transformed in the blink of an eye. Where virtual locations could be created and made to replace the old scenes. If those were the cases, Damien wouldn't have been this alarmed. He wasn't only shocked by these changes. He was crushed by awe. He couldn't see through the window of the car. The glasses were tinted. He didn't make a fuss about it. Not long after, the car came to a stop. The young man stepped out to get the door for him. The young man was different from the driver. The man got the
[Ping! Restoring system's activities.][Ping! Yacht-driving skill was exchanged with Map function.]Damien stared at the notifications pop-up of the system that was hanging in the air right in front of his eyes. He didn't know what to feel in precise. "The map function?" He quizzed. The map function was equally as important as the ZOOM function. He knew this, so it was quite hard for him to choose the perfect relation to this. What he had in mind while coming to the island this early was to first locate the cannibals before going to join the organisers of the party events. He didn't think that would be anyway possible anymore. How was he supposed to find them now that he didn't have the map of the system?He sighed. "Such a useless bitch!" He grunted, taking the window down. When he raised his head, he saw a set of few ladies standing at the opening of the island. He squinted his eyes to be sure whether or not he would be able to make a mental judgement of who the ladies were.
