Damon's eyes went back to normal and his brows relaxed. If that was the case, he needs to work harder. Ben was declaring war to him in both business and physical world “That's a good name. Ben Carl Snyder!”Oliver smiled and went to sit down. He turned to Willow “What about you princess? What's your name?”“I'm Willow” She replied blandly“Good Good. Willow Snyder. I see you're a lover of jewellery and ornaments”“You don't like them?” Willow replied “No, no. They are okay”Seeing that Ben had taken his usual seat, Damon pulled out a chair two seats away from Jeremy and sat on it “Alright, we're all here. Let's start eating” Oliver looked at everyone with a smile on his face. He rubbed his palms together and picked up a plate. “We're not all here. Where's mother?”Willow asked “Margaret should be here any minute. In the meantime, can you both tell me what you do?”Oliver took a portion of food and put it into his plate “I own a business” Ben turned to look at Damon “Prudent Venture
“She has been here for a very long time. It's time for her to return home, to her family” Jeremy continued The entire table fell into silence. Oliver's lips spread into a little smile “Okay, she can't stay here forever anyway” His tone was bland and one could tell that he felt sad Twenty years is more than enough time to grow attached to someone. She was there when Matilda gave birth to Nathan. She was there for the family when Nathan got missing, when Matilda and Charles lost their lives, she was right there with him On her birthdays and on his birthdays, she was there. She was there when Nathan returned. She took care of the family and was a huge part in sustaining Oliver's health Oliver has counted her, long ago, as part of his family. He treated her like one as well. Countless times, he told Margaret to stop working as a maid and just stay as his daughter, but she refusedEvery inch and corner of the house held a sustainable memory of her. Even the peach dress she was putting
Stephen jolted and almost fell back in fright His hands flew to his chest as both his eyes closed “Why are you acting like you saw a ghost?”Orlando looked at his fearful expression “What were you doing anyway?”Stephen had already calmed himself down by this time. He swallowed the lump in his throat and replied “N-Nothing. I just came to get something” He scurried away in fear that Orlando would ask him more questions Orlando stared at his figure as he rushed away “What's that dude hiding?” He muttered to himself “He said he came to get something, yet he's going back empty handed”Orlando went to where Stephen was coming from and checked everywhere. He couldn't find anything strange “That's weird. Stephen is definitely up to something, I need to watch him closely” Orlando said and left the place In front of the house, the maids already gathered everything into the boot of the car. Jeremy, Maraget and the sibling duo were already positioned in the car Damon stood beside Oliver as
Damon was deep in his thoughts when his phone rang. It was a call from Ambrose “Hello, darling. I missed you soo much” Ambrose's ecstatic soothing voice sounded through the phone's earpiece Damon's raging heart suddenly calmed down as he heard Ambrose's voice. His strained shoulders relaxed as his deep cello voice replied “Mhm. How have you been?”“I'm good! We're already rounding up the semester and I'll soon be a graduate!” Ambrose replied enthusiastically “That's good” Damon replied “It's been lonely over here. I can't wait to get on set tomorrow. At least then, I'll not be stuck in this house” Ambrose took another handful of popcorn and stuffed it into her mouth “What about you, my love? What have you been up to?”Damon loosened the first three buttons of his shirt and replied “I miss you”“I miss you too. I'm watching a romance movie and I suddenly feel jealous of the movie leads” Ambrose said amidst her full mouth and folded her leg on her couch “I'll make it up to you”Damo
Damon placed the phone back on his ear and replied “Yes”The line got silent for a few seconds before Ambrose replied “But, her mother knows you're not really Nathan. Won't she use it against you?”“I have everything under control” Damon replied “Okay. Please, be careful”“Mhm”“Let me leave you to rest then. I'll talk to you later”Ambrose replied Damon hummed and ended the call. He went to his room and went to bed. He could feel a migraine seeping into his head. For a few days now, he had been thinking of several things and different issues have been sprouting That night, he felt unusually weak. Immediately his head hit the bed, he fell straight into slumber When he got deep into sleep, he had a nightmare. There was a woman, her face was stained with a deep layer of blood such that one couldn't see any of her facial features The woman appeared to be in Damon's room. Her hands and feet were bounded with heavy chains She slowly raised her head to look at Damon on the bed. The blo
Jeremy's breathing was erratic. He was like an hungry beast that finally found a prey to feast on. He had been deprived of his cravings for so long. His entire body was on fire, he felt so hot that he could almost not control himself Still with their lips locked, his hands messily reached for the zipper at the back of Margaret's dress. “Jeremy, slow down” Margaret didn't push him away. Although she wasn't eager to sleep with him, she didn't stop him from doing what he wanted. He was a man anyway, and their urges are always stronger than a woman's own“You had no idea how much I long for you”Jeremy breathed out the words. He pulled the dress over her shoulder and tossed it away. Next her bra and her panty. She was bare naked in front of him. Margaret instinctively covered her body with her hands. She had not been with a man for so long, and suddenly standing naked in front of one felt really strange Jeremy's eyes were feasting on her body as he trailed every inch, careful not to mi
Lora released his ear and rested her hands on her waist. She tilted her head to the side and closed her eyes halfway “If you dare speak to me like that again, I'll run to Ambrose and tell her you have a crush on her”“Don't you dare! That's not for you to say” Carl took her hand and pulled her aside “I plan to propose to her in a grand way. You know in a decorated space, just how girls like it”Lora waved her hands and shook her head “Hold up. What if she rejects you after?”“She has no reason to. Before I propose, I'd have gotten a tad bit close to her”“I don't want to sound like I do not wish the best for you. But, I doubt you'll put end up together” Lora stretched her hand to raise his chin up. Carl slapped her hand away. Lora slowly shook her head “I just don't see it happening”Carl suddenly pushed her aside “She's coming over here. Move aside” He dusted his shirt and harrumped as he watched Ambrose approach Ambrose was completely unaware of what was happening. She was about to
“What are you doing here? Did you finally figure out that you're not suitable to be in the fashion line? So you chose to go into acting instead. I don't think you're much of an actress though. You'll probably get replaced after the first shoot” Brandon smirked “Get out of my way” Laura's brows pulled into a frown as she pushed Brandon away. What an annoying human? Who did she offend for her to meet with several annoying people in a single day? Brandon stumbled to the side but steadied himself almost immediately. He hurried his steps to her and said “So, what role are you playing?” “Why must you be so nosy? Mind your own business” Laura fanned her fingers across her ears as though a mosquito was roaming around her ears “You know? You should be happy I'm speaking to you. Most ladies will give anything to have the privilege you are taking advantage of” Laura stopped walking and turned to Brandon “Alright Brandon. Please, stop giving me this privilege. I'm so tired of seeing your fac
“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.
