But then he remembered that Jeremy promised him a huge sum of money if he successfully get Damon to go back to Dallen Haves with him He stood his ground and replied “Sounds like you're trying to bribe me. You have a choice here, kid. Come back home with me or face backlash from the world”Damon stayed quiet and stared at Carter. He parted his lips to say “Let's talk inside, Uncle”“No, I won't go with you. You've made a very big mistake, kid. And if you don't come back with me, you should be ready to face the consequences” Carter continuedDamon didn't respond. Rather, he signalled to Kelvin and Lucas who were in their car behind Carter Before Carter could utter another statement, his hands got grabbed from behind. “Let me go!”He tried to wave himself off but he couldn't. He turned to Damon “Kid, are these people your men? Tell me to let me go, or else?”“Or else what?” Damon's sharp gaze and heavy words caused Carter's confidence to waver. “Who are you calling kid?”Lucas kicked h
“It's fine, let him go”Damon replied “Jeez, you all better treat me well whenever you see me. I'm like an uncle to your boss” Carter flared his nostrils and pointed at them“Get out of here. I'm like his father. I'm more important to him than you are. You better pay more respect and know where you stand, you hear me?” Orlando pushed Carter out of the way and went into the car “I'm his uncle! I have a better stand in his life!”Carter yelled at Orlando as he entered the car and pointed to his chest. He turned to Damon and said “Can I take a ride in your car? Drop me off at the main road”“Go in the car behind us. There's no space here for you” Orlando replied from inside the car “No, I want to–”Damon cut the rest of his sentence “Go in the other car”He then went into the car Carter wrinkled his nose and marched into Kelvin and Lucas's car. They all dispersed. Damon went to work with Orlando while Carter dropped from the other car when he reached where he would alight When Damon g
Mrs Patel brought out her phone and made a call to her husband, but the phone call wasn't going through “The call is not going through, but don't worry. Relax”“Thank you, mother” Baron said, hugged his mother and went to his room Meanwhile, after Carter got dropped off. He went back to that restaurant where Jeremy took him to the previous day. He didn't know where he lived, or he any way of contacting him “Excuse me” Carter called out to the waiter that attended to them the previous day “Hello sir. How may I help you. If you'd like to make an order, please have your seat, i or any other person will come to attend to you” The waiter replied skillfully and with respect “No, no. I'm not here to make an order. I want to ask you something”“What's it? Please do understand that I must not be seen lazing around and having a chat with someone during work hours, so make it snappy”“Okay, I will” Carter harrumphed and said “Do you remember me? I came here last night with a man, a wealthy m
“Why do you need me to pretend to be your girlfriend?” Laura raised a brow Nobody knew, but for the past few days, Brandon's mother had been choking him with complaints. Always telling him to bring home a girl He had no woman in his life at that moment. In fact, Brandon had cut down from his playboy lifestyle. And the only way he could think of was to get someone to pretend to be his partner The only person he could think of was Laura “My mother has been yapping about bringing a girl home to her “ Brandon replied “I don't agree. There are other millions of girls to choose from”“Laura, don't be so harsh. If I had other choices, I wouldn't have come to you”“Exactly! You came to me only because I was your only option, not because I'm the right person for it. You always mention and show how poorly I act and dress, if that's the case, I'm sure your mother wouldn't be impressed either”She closed the tab and placed it into her bag “No, my mother certainly will be impressed. She's not
“You? What are you doing here? And why are you calling him your young master?” Ambrose's mother got up from the couch and went to stand in front of Orlando “Because I work for him. What are you doing here? When did you move to the city?” Orlando asked “Well, I'm here to see my daughter. And well, he's my child too. Who knew you'll ever lower yourself to work under my son. Remember back then in Dallen Haves, I begged you to help me fix my electricity, but you acted aloof”Ambrose's mother smiled smugly and wrapped her hands together “Your son? Young master is your son? Ohh, wait, are you his girlfriend's mother?” Orlando immediately wrapped his head around the whole thing He turned to the side when he felt a sharp gaze on him. Damon was shooting daggers at him with his eyes and he could feel his stare boring holes inside him. Orlando didn't even feel fear. He raised a brow as though asking “Why are you looking at me that way?”“Which girlfriend?”Before Orlando could say anything,
“Tell him to wait, I'll be there in a bit”Damon replied. It seemed Carter had already done what was asked of him. Some of his questions would be answered that night. He was sitting at the edge of his seat and was curious and nervous to know about his past A few seconds after, Ambrose and her mother returned to the dining room. “Damon, join us. The food is ready”Ambrose's mother called out Damon went to the dining and joined them. He picked up a napkin and neatly spread it on his thighs. All his actions were noticed by Ambrose Damon didn't even notice, but he had changed a lot. He now looked and acted like an aristocrat. If one said that he was given birth to in wealth, no one would doubt Even his choice of words and reasoning had changed. A good type of change “Won't you call Larry in to join us?”“No, he's okay outside”Damon replied and dug into his food The dinner began. They ate and spoke about a scope of things. Well, Ambrose and her mother did most of the talking. Damon ju
Damon lifted his leg and hit it against his chest again. Thrice. Repeatedly! Carter coughed and opened his mouth as he tried to gasp in the air. Damon took the briefcase and threw it roughly on his chest “Get out of here before my anger takes the best of me” Damon was mad! He was angry! What was the man that brought him to Paula. What could a twelve year old have done to offend anyone?! So all along, he had been walking around with someone else's memory, living someone else's life, calling someone eks s family his own. What tragedy! What about his real family? Were they missing him? Were they looking for him? Who are they? At that moment, Damon felt like a stray human. Someone without direction and purpose. He felt as though all his life was a lieCarter picked up the briefcase, hurriedly got up from the floor and ran towards the door. When he got to the door, he turned back to Damon and said “Some things are better left unknown, kid. Don't find out more about this and just keep
“He's a business partner. He came to see me. Don't worry honey, go on and continue with what you're doing” Mr Evans rushed to her husband and cooked up an excuse “A business partner? He doesn't look like one? Are you sure he's capable enough?” Mr Evans looked up and down at Reynold. He was wearing a simple shirt and trouser. They were not of low quality. But Mrs Evans liked to partner only with people that flashed their wealth Mrs Evans bit the inside of her cheeks in nervousness. She looked down at her feet and said “Honey, look. My feet are hurting”Mr Evans looked down at her feet and there was a smudge of blood there. It was the part that a glass pierced “Oh honey. How did this happen?” He bent down and held her feet “It's nothing. I'll just clean the blood up and put a bandage, that should be enough. Honey, can you go upstairs and bring down the first aid box?”“Okay, I'll be right back”Mr Evans nodded and went upstairs When Mrs Evans was sure he had gone, she held Reynold b
