Ash and the others waited patiently in the airport for Damien and the others to come. The girl was hopeful as it had been all over the news that the Parliament had suddenly declared to revoke their positions after a decade of sitting in the throne. She still didn’t know how he was able to pull it off.“Their plane has arrived. They just called.” Noel told them as he approached them. “Yuri is with them as well.”Aleksei and Ash gave a breath of relief and hopefully looked at one another before smiling. They all waited at the entrance anxiously until a group of black-coated men finally emerged. Several cameras immediately flash as Damien Blackwell finally arrives back in the country. He spanned his eyes around and saw his family waving at him. Beside him were Sherlock, Shireen and Yuri. Yuri was slouching, and his eyes were lifeless. He had tons of bandages around his body, but nevertheless, one could not explain why Yuri remained to look so dashing even with so many scars.They say it
The ride home was exhausting. Ash and the others in the truck were all fast asleep. “Look at these siblings. When they’re asleep, they look so innocent, but when they’re awake, they’re so devilish.” Noel commented as he leaves the car. Damien chuckled. “I suppose we all look vulnerable and gullible when we’re not awake.” Damien was the most exhausted from everyone. He had not had proper rest for two days. The maids of the manor immediately approached him as he descended from his car. The matron of the maids, who had been serving the Blackwells since the very start, was the first to greet Damien. “Welcome home, Master. We are so glad to see that you’re home safe and sound. Congratulations for the victory.” “Thank you.” Damien forced a smile even if he was so exhausted. “Have you prepared the room for Yuri that I told you to?”“Of course.” The maids nodded. “We knew you were going to win and bringing him home so we prepared it almost immediately.”“Thank you for your faith.”“Howeve
“Easy, brother.” Aleksei handed a glass of water to Yuri and smacked his back repeatedly. Yuri consumes all of it in one gulp and slams the glass back onto the table, causing the plates to jump for a short second. He gave Damien a strict and then it turned into horror when he looked at Ash.“Are you actually being serious right now? You’re not tripping me?”“Having a baby should have been more surprising that Damien and I getting married.” Ash sighed. “So you don’t consent?”“I just think it’s too fast.” Yuri palmed his face and shook his head repeatedly. “If if they postpone it, there won’t be any time.” His brother whispered to him. “They’re both adults, they have known each other for the longest time, and Ash knows Damien more than anyone else does since she protected him when he was still serving in the orphanage.”“And besides…” he then pointed at Ash’s stomach. “…the baby’s about to be born.”“There still nine months—”“Six.” Ash corrected him. “Six months until my child is born
She stood before a mirror, wearing a long white dress and three maids bringing her hair into a small braid. She held her breath as she stared at her reflection in the mirror. “Look at how pretty you are.” Lilian smiled at her while giving final touches to her veil. “We’ve known each other since we were kids, never hung out I know, but… you were always dressed in something rowdy. I always knew you were beautiful, however.” Ash chuckled. “Ash, you’ll start wearing pretty dresses from now on.” “I’m not very used to them though I’ve worn them on occasions with Damien.” She told her. “God, this feels surreal.” “If you weren’t so rowdy with your attitude, perhaps you’d wear the same white dress.” Eloise entered the room to see her daughter and her daughter-in-law. “Feeling comfortable?” “Not really.” Ash honestly replied to her. “It’s a little itchy… and errr… heavy?” They all chuckled. Eloise pulled a stool and helped Ash with her dress. She stared at the girl’s blue eyes and sigh
Damien was in the front, eyes on the altar. He could hear his chest beating from his ear. He had been waiting for this day his entire life, and if truth were to be told, he never really expected it would happen.For all the dangers and responsibilities he was equipped with. He thought he’d never have the chance to settle a life afar and away from all the others.Damien’s environment was muted to him. Even the priest’s introduction became mere mumbling to him. He could only hear his heart through his head. Suddenly, the big doors opened. He felt Lilian’s hands wrap around his arm. He lowered his head and looked at her, and Lilian smiled at him sweetly, then urged him to pivot his head onto the door. Damien mustered his being to look, as his eyelids opened to a blink, he witnessed the most beautiful woman in his life, wearing a blooming white dress escorted by two of her male siblings, Yuri on the right and Aleksei on the left. A pristine, net-like veil wrapped her, concealing her myste
THREE YEARS AFTER "Your child has been going in and out of the classroom lately, Mrs. Blackwell, we've asked him what's wrong and he doesn't seem to tell us." In a small teacher's office, a young boy no older than 3 years old sat on a small chair with his mother beside him. The boy had a raven colored hair and big, bright blue eyes, which gazed deeply at his mother beside her who donned the same hue of irises. The boy's mother cradled him close and sighed. "When has this been going on?" "Since last week when Tyrion came to school." the teacher worriedly told her. "He's normally a very well-behaved and soft spoken boy. Tyrion has always been calm, but never that distant. I've been noticing him getting a little panicky lately." "Is this true, darling?" Ash asked her only son, Tyrion and brushed the boy's hair with her fingers. "Is someone bothering you at school?" It has officially been three years since Ash had left the mafia business with Damien. Now, she had become used to her
It was Tyrion’s birthday, and Damien decided to bring the family into the amusement park. He hired the amusement for that day specifically for his son to enjoy. Now, he doesn’t usually go to such lengths to hire an entire park, but it was necessary for his son’s safety and enjoyment. They arrived there with a line of bodyguards. Tyrion was a bright boy., he knew that when the tall men dressed in black, it meant that they were about to go to a place where he should be cautious. “I’ll behave.” He told his mom, which made her smile.“Daddy didn’t have to rent the entire park all to yourself, right?” Ash crouched and pinched her son’s cheeks.He nodded hesitantly. “Eh? You actually want to go to the park?”“I told you so.” Damien crossed his arms and smiled. “He’s just shaking his head because he feels pressured. Now, then, Ty, what should we ride first?”The boy excitedly points to the huge octopus ride, and off they went with his father. Ash only sighed and shook her head while chuckli
Ash started to have a bad feeling when Damien was not answering his phone. All of a sudden, she gets a call from Noel.“Noel! Damien won’t answer his phone!”“I called him earlier to tell him there’s an impostor amongst the staff in the amusement park. I don’t know how he exactly got in. Damien went to the bathroom with Tyrion but that’s also the last I have heard from him.”Gritting her teeth, Ash also ended her call and gave the phone to Damien’s other secretary. “Where are you going, Mistress?” “I have to find Damien.” Ash then sprinted towards the bathroom of the amusement. There were plenty. However, she immediately knew it was the right one because of the other staff that had gathered in behind the building. It seemed like there was a commotion. Ash ran towards them and saw Damien lying on the floor with blood all over him. He was knocked out.The secretary finally caught up, she gasped for air. “Please don’t run like that, Mistress! I can’t keep up. Wait, is that Master Damien
