“Young master, I will never do anything to harm Eldest Master”Margaret pulled her brows and replied Her heartbeat palpilated nd her palms turned sweaty “You were the one that brought the doctor into this house, right?”Damon asked “Yes, I recommended him to master but I wasn't the one that told him to do what he did. I will never. Eldest master is like a father to me” Margaret's voice trembled as she spoke Damon held her wrist and dragged her into the house “Nathan! Have you gone nuts? What in the world do you think you're doing? Let her go” Orlando followed them and tried to knock some sense into Damon The whole commotion made Oliver go downstairs. Damon dragged her into her room and locked the door. He put the key in his pocket and wanted to go away This was the incident that greeted Oliver “Will there be no peace in the house at all?”“Eldest master, tell Nathan to get Margaret out of the room” Orlando rushed to Oliver “What? What did he do?” Oliver asked “ He locked Marg
“We both heard the same thing, right? That person called Margaret wifey. And that person is likely to be Jeremy. How's that even possible?” Orlando placed his hand on his bandage arms and slightly pressed on it “Why do you look so calm? Am I the only confused one here?” Orlando rested his back “Anyways, we are nor totally sure that it's Jeremy. It's impossible for Margaret and Jeremy to have anything together”“No, it's not” Damon finally spoke up “Huh, what do you mean? That must have been a different person, it can't be Jeremy” Orlando said Damon thought back to the time he saw Margaret sneaking into Jeremy's car and how anxious she looked when he asked of her familyWas it possible that what she has been hiding was her relationship with Jeremy? But if they were indeed married, why did they keep it from the rest of the family? “Is it possible for you to not save your husband's number? The number that called just now was unsaved. Perhaps it was a wrong number. Don't think too mu
They gave each other knowing glances and left the study room to the living room Jeremy, looking as unbothered and collected as usual, was sipping his tea as he read through the newspaper in his hand When he heard the sound of footsteps approaching, he dropped his tea and turned back. His eyes immediately locked on Orlando If one was observant enough, they'd notice the slight clench of his jaw. However, that was only for a brief moment, as though it never happened “Mr Jeremy” Orlando slightly bowed his head in acknowledgement “Orlando! What a surprise to see you here” Jeremy replied with a sly smile on his face. He then turned to Damon “Nathan, good to see you”Damon replied “Uncle, good to see you as well. What brings you here today?”Jeremy dropped the newspaper in his hand and said “I came to check up on grandfather. It is, after all, my responsibility as his child. I can't neglect it”Damon nodded and said to Orlando “Tell the maids to serve dinner and tell Grandfather to come
Jeremy decided to use the fact thy he wasn't aware that he was the real Nathan against him. If he was skilful and threatening enough, he might be able to scare Damon away without having to use forceful approaches But if that didn't work, he would have to use force. Besides, staying in that house might invoke a bit of Nathan's memory in him. So he had to act fast and send him away before that happens “Damon Brooks, that's your full name, right?” Jeremy stood up and went to him. He patted his shoulders and continued “Don't act like you're so pure and innocent. We both know the reason you took the job to come here as Nathan's impostor is so you could get money. You didn't mind deserving a family and the rest of the world for your selfish needs. Who gave you the right to question my decisions then?”Although Damon was slightly taken aback by Jeremy's threat to his life, he still had his composure. Jeremy was gradually shedding his skin and showing his real colours Damon was about to f
Maraget heaved a deep sigh and relaxed her tense shoulders. Perhaps it would be better for everyone to know the truth since it was already brought to light anyway The secret has been a heavy weight pressing on her chest. She wanted to let everything out and be free “Yes” She replied “You're married to my uncle and you both have children together? You kept this from everyone for over twenty years. If I didn't know better, I would have thought you were in this house with evil intent” Damon said and drank water “Nathan, what are you saying? She has her reasons. It's her choice anyway, she can choose not to tell anybody” Orlando walked towards the dining table and folded his arms across his chest “Since you've been here, do you dare to say you've never done anything to this family?” Damon asked again “No! I've never. You all are my family” “Why did you choose to come here as a maid?”“I-I–”“You have been spying on us, haven't you?”“Nathan! Y–” Orlando wanted to speak but Damon rai
“I hate to agree with you, but it's plausible. I also have this hunch but I didn't want to speak up because there's no proof to back it up” Orlando replied after a short pause “If this is the case, we have to be very careful. Although we are not sure of this yet, it will be unreasonable to term him a criminal without any evidence” Damon replied “We have to clear this up. I suggest we get someone to to follow him”“That someone is you” Damon replied blankly Orlando blinked repeatedly. He opened his mouth to speak but before he could, Damon said “I, you, Lucas and Kelvin will follow him. A few minutes ago, when Uncle was still here, I got Lucas to place a monitoring chip under his car. This should help us tail him without putting ourselves out there”Orlando nodded “That's better”Damon turned back to his laptop and tapped rapidly on the keyboard. A map appeared on the screen with a red dot flashing on a part of the map “Apparently, this is where he is”Damon pointed to the red dot a
They both went left to the office with Gary and Wonker guarding then from another car behind Orlando was more like his personal escort, going with him wherever he went. They got to the office in no time Damon met Ian at the door of his office “Good morning sir”Damon nodded and entered the office. Orlando followed still without saying anything. Damon sat on his office chair and went through the things on his table while Orlando stood behind him, with his hands clasped at his back He knew better than to disregard Damon in public Ian knocked and entered the office. He reported all the things that Damon needed to know and left the office. When he left, Orlando left Damon's back and made himself comfortable on the sofa in the officeHe picked up a file from his table and casually flipped through it. Coincidentally, the file contained the charts of top companies in the city. Damon had a copy of this because he wanted to know how far he was progressing and who he needed to look out for
Mrs Evans swallowed back the words she wanted to say. Her fingers that were wagging at Damon suddenly stopped in the airHer eyes widened and her mouth was agape. She looked around the sitting room and then back at Damon in horror Her usually composed demeanour shattered and her eyes were filled with shock and fear“W-What are you talking about?” She stuttered How did he find out? It was so long ago, she made sure she hid it well. “Mr Evans is not Ella's biological father” Damon replied calmly Mrs Evans’s heart fell deeper when she heard him. Her breathing became uneven. This was her deepest secret, her achilles heel. How did Damon come to know about it? “Y-you're saying rubbish. My husband is Ella's biological father. Who else would I have given birth to her for?” She tried to mask her anxiety as she questioned Damon Damon took his seat on the sofa. He crossed a leg over the other and picked up the card “You know exactly well what I'm talking about. I have proof, if you don't
“Reynold Smith? Isn't that Ella's biological father? Who knew he had so much love for his daughter that he can anchor all her crimes. Tsk” Orlando adjusted the shades on his face as he walked next to Damon Damon's face was still. He has accepted his fate. He knew that soon enough, his secret will be out Before that happens, he needs to make sure that Ambrose is safe. He needed to be rest assured that Oliver will be in good health If that happens, he will spend his life in jail in peace, knowing he's laid a path for the ones he care about He pulled a few strings to get some producers and entertainment firms to pay attention to Ambrose. He was confident in her skills and was sure that those firms would try to poach her soon. Even when he's in jail, Ambrose wouldn't have any issue with money “I wasn't aware that he's in the city. His presence here will cause Mrs Evans a lot of headache. That's not my problem anyway. What do you plan to do now, Nathan?”Orlando said “Get a doctor to
At the police station, Ella was placed back in her cell with cuffs in her hand. She was looking down at the floor with her back rested against the wallMr and Mrs Evans dashed into the station and ran to Ella. Earlier, the policemen found her inside the well, took her back to the station and called her parents to inform them Tom, on the other hand, was in hiding. He attempted to fly out of the country but since the borders were closed, he couldn't. So, he went into hiding. The police already termed him wanted “What were you thinking?! I'll never expect this from you in a million years. Do you know how much damage you caused? Look here and answer my questions!” Mr Evas gripped the cell’s gate and glared at her“Honey, calm down. Can't you see how injured she is? At least, show some sympathy”Mrs Evans turned to Ella “Darling, raise your head and look at mummy. What happened? I won't believe all that was said about you until I hear from you. Tell me, what happened!”“It's you that has
Ella tried to push him off but a lady's strength can't compare to a man's strength. Tom mercilessly ravaged on her body, without a care of the situation of things After he was done, he left Ella's naked body on the floor and put his trouser back on. He glanced at her on the floor and said “Now, the deal is over”“You'll regret this, you fool”With pain soaring over her body, she managed to push herself to the corner of the van She wanted Damon and only Damon to have her body. She kept herself all these while for him. Even though she wanted to get back at Damon for putting her in jail, she still didn't want any man to touch her She glared at Tom with hatred bursting through her lungs as she picked up her torn clothes on the floor and tried to cover herself with it Tom didn't pay any attention to her, he picked up his phone and was about to make a call to some of his men when the van stopped Ella became alert. She tried to fasten up the process of wearing her dress but she wasn't fas
Ambrose took a huge gulp as her eyes darted round the corners of the room. Her lips spread into an awkward smile. When she glanced back at her mother, her mother was still looking at her with expectations of answers to her question Ambrose dropped her smile and her shoulders. She heaved a heavy sigh. She had no choice but to tell her mother everything Besides, she's always been a bad liar. And if there's anybody that can easily detect when she isn't telling the truth, it'd be her mother “First, promise to stay calm, okay?”“I won't promise that. I can't stay calm. In fact, as we speak, I'm not calm”“Promise you won't get mad?”“Tell me the truth first”“Okay” Ambrose closed her eyes and opened them “Damon isn't actually Auntie Paula's son. He's actually the grandson of a powerful family” Ambrose couldn't possibly tell her mother the real truth. It would be dangerous for more than two people to walk around with the knowledge of what Damon is really doing. She had to fabricate a li
Ambrose went to set that day, but found out that the movie production was on hold and would probably get cancelled soon. They haven't been able to peacefully shoot for three days streak without a problem arising Just the previous day, Ambrose went missing with no one's knowledge of how it happened. The next day, she returned to set as though nothing happened The recent incident was Ella's arrest and the news shocked everyone. They were even more shocked at the cause of her arrest No matter how much Mr Evans and his wife tried to bury the news and keep it a secret from the world, the news still seeped outCould Ella really be behind Ambrose's disappearance the previous day? Everyone was aware of the bad blood between Ambrose and Ella. But didn't Ella have bad blood with everyone? Carl and Lora were exceptionally happy when they got the news of her arrest and they even went as far as celebrating over a bottle of alcoholAlthough Carl was sad that the movie was on hold, he wouldn't
Mr Evans pulled his brows together and went to the man. He tapped his shoulder When the man turned back, Mr Evans’s brows creased further. Reynold was putting on a cap and a mask which concealed his face Before Mr Evans could say anything, Mrs Evans called out to him “Darling, come over here. Let's ask about how we can get our daughter out of her”She deliberately called Ella their daughter just to assure him that he was her father and whoever came earlier wasn't real. And also, to divert his attention so Reynold could go away Mr Evans looked back at his wife. When he turned back to the man, he was no longer there. He took rapid steps forward and looked left and right, but he didn't see him anymore He returned to the station and said to the policeman “I'm her father. Listen, my daughter was accused of the crime. She's innocent. Surely, for this fact, there should be a bail for her”“Listen here, the man that filed for her arrest is ready to push this matter until she's jailed under
Meanwhile, the previous day, Mrs Evans didn't plan to stay over at the hotel with Reynold. However, when she stood up to leave, Reynold yanked her back onto the bed and pinned her down. He locked the door and didn't allow her to leave He said he wanted to spend more time with his wife. Mrs Evans had no choice but to stay, he's her husband anyway Besides, she would just cook up an excuse to Mr Evans. He trusted her blindly and she was confident that he would believe her When she got a call from him, Reynold’s arms were tightly wrapped around her waist with his head on her chest. He heard everything Mr Evans said and immediately got off the bed “Ella has been arrested?” He asked as he watched Mrs Evans move around in panic to get her things and leave “Yes, you heard what he said. I need to go to see things for myself and get her out of there”Mrs Evans said as she put on her bra and her clothes Reynold got down from the bed and began to get dressed as well “What are you doing?” M
“What?! Get your hands off me! Why am I being arrested? I have done nothing wrong!”Ella yelled as she struggled with the policemen. She tried to wiggle her wrists out of the cuffs, but they were to no avail “You're a suspect for the mastermind behind the kidnapping and attempted rape of Ambrose Kinn. I suggest you cooperate with us and come to the police station” With a hostile face, one of the police men said Ella wasn't having any of it.”Suspect? Mastermind?! I didn't do any of those! I'm innocent. I don't know what you're talking about. Let me go! How dare you handcuff me like a criminal without any proof, this is against the law!” Ella kept sprouting words. How could she, a pampered princess, step into a station. Her dignity would be crushed! She was more scared that she would be exposed. Besides, she was truly guilty of all that they said. But, how did they find out? Did that bastard, Tom, blow her cover? She had been on the edge of her seat since morning, trying to call Tom,
Damon's heart wildly hit against its cage. Is this the end? If he was to run away, where would he go? After all, there's a possibility that he isn't the real Damon. And Ambrose? He didn't want to taint her by allowing her to be with someone that has a bad reputation At that point, he wished he didn't accept Mrs Evans’s offer. He wished he layed low and continue to live his life as before. Then, he would not have had to face everything he was going through. He wouldn't have burdened himself about the awful truth of his past Damon's heart clenched. What should he do? Where should he go? Everything was crumbling It took him a lot of strength to stuff his tears back in. His trembling hands scrolled down the page to see the “evidence” they mentioned To his greatest shock, there were photos of a casket and an old photo of Damon walking along the streets. Damon tapped on the screen and zoomed in on it. They weren't evidences! They were bullshit! All those things didn't prove anything.
