“Renee, get over here now!” Angela roared, grabbing Renee’s arm.“What? Why are you being so pushy all of a sudden?”Angela’s response was to try and shove her under the hospital bed.“Angela, what the hell? Is he making you do this?” she glared at Damien.“You shouldn’t have come,” Damien said grimly.Renee was going to tell him that he couldn’t tell her what to do but his tone made her pause. And the way Angela was acting… “Angela what’s going on?”The thundering footsteps were getting closer. A loud commotion erupted outside the room; a bad omen. Angela frantically glanced around the room, looking for soemthing she could use as a weapon. Renee’s question didn’t even register. Damien hid behind the door, ready to strike down the first man that entered. “Why are you guys acting like you’re on drugs?” Renee blared. This was getting frustrating for her. Despite hating Damien’s guts, she’d turned up at the hospital for her sister’s sake only for her to try and shove her under a bed and

Courtney tried to speak but her words caught in her throat. Fear gripped her like a vice.“I asked you a question!” Saul bellowedOne of his spies had told him that Damien was hospitalised and he had personally come to gloat. The last person he’d expected to see was Courtney.“I… I…,” Courtney stammered.“Spit it out!”Courtney was shaking. Saul was a dangerous man and he saw Damien as his rival. How could she explain that she was trying to win her ex-husband back without repercussion. Saul was the type to destroy her families company and even hurt her badly if he suspected she was stepping out on him.“It was the hospital,” she blurted out. “Damien still has me as his emergency contact.”She held her breath waiting for Saul’s reaction, praying she hadn’t signed her death warrant.Saul suddenly burst into laughter, making her more confused than scared.“Are you really that desperate to win her back? How pathetic.”Courtney let out a nervous laugh. “Right? He must have faked it to get m

“What the hell are you doing here?”“The hospital called me. Oh my God, Damien!”“Back off!”It was the scream that made his eyes snap open. And as soon as it did, he was blinded by white lights and his nose stung from the smell of disinfectant.“Where am I,” he muttered, mouth dryer than the Sahara.“Damien!” Angela blurted, rushing to his side. She had been at the door keeping Courtney from coming in. Why did the hospital have to call her. She would have a word with the matron once Damien was ok.“How are you feeling?”Before he could answer, Courtney was at his side playing the devoted ex-wife role. She had deliberately worn a lowcut dress that showed 90% of her cleavage and hugged her hourglass figure. Of course she was as cunning as ever!“Damien, I came as soon as they called me. Are you okay? What happened? Did you get into a fight…” Courtney shot him question after question but as he stared blankly at her, only one thing was on his mind.“You better have a good reason for show
Chapter 46
Daniel levelled a glare and Arthur. “Control your grandbrat!” Arthur shrugged a smug smile on his face. He had stopped the last fight between the two young men too soon and knew Garth was eager to get his revenge. “They are men. Let them settle their issues between themselves. And it is suspicious how he seemed to find it so quickly, isn’t it? I’m sure you must have helped him.” “I did not. He is a capable young man. How long did your grandson take to find him again?” Daniel asked, now wearing his own smug smile. The news that Damien had found his Celladona in a month had spread around the society like wildfire. Daniel himself was shocked beyond belief. He knew that Damien was proficient – he was his blood after all – but even he had been surprised. Arthur’s frown made Daniel even more proud of his grandson. “You helped him. Stop lying,” Arthur seethed. “It’s not against any laws to do that but he can’t go around claiming merit for something he didn’t do. Own up!” “Ask him your

Daniel knew what that bastard Arthur was doing. Entice Damien with insane strength so he would forgo the medical secret. To be honest, Daniel wouldn’t blame Damien if he went with either of the other two options. He was a young man once and he definitely understood the allure.Garth too was anticipating Damien’s answer. He always knew Damien was a selfish scumbag. Him falling for Arthur’s trick would only confirm that notion.By now, it was pretty obvious to everyone that Damien was going to go with either a martial arts secret or a Mystic art secret. How could he not? It hadn’t been a hard decision for them at all. It shouldn’t have been for him either but then Arthur had pulled out all the stops and had a demonstration done for him. A ripple of mocking snickers came from the crowd; he must have been feeling stupid now for choosing a medical secret.“I’m confident that I can fulfill any tasks you throw at me in record time, so the other secrets are within my reach anyway. Give me a m

A week had gone by and Damien was getting ready for his secret ceremony. He could hardly hide his eagerness, as he restlessly paced the house on the eve of his ceremony.“You know, this won’t make it come any faster,” Angela said, getting distracted from her work by his constant pacing.She was right but he couldn’t bring himself to settle down. “Do you realize what’s going to happen tomorrow?” He asked, confused by how casually she was taking the whole thing.Angela rolled her eyes. “Yes. You’re having a cult meeting.”“Sure, but seriously. I’m getting a secret. I’m leveling up. Do you understand that?”“You’re already pretty great as you are,” Angela muttered shyly, glancing away so he wouldn’t meet her gaze.He stared at her, wanting to say something but the anticipation of what was to come was at the forefront of his mind.“The Aston is fueled right?” he asked, changing the subject.“Always,” Angela replied, grateful for the tension release but a little hurt that he didn’t acknow
