Ella pulled her fingers that were under the table so hard that she didn't realise when she pulled her nails off Damon brutally left her no face! He rejected her but willingly chose Ambrose. It was a hot slap on her face! She was embarrassed! All because of that wrench!! The casts caught the underlying message in Damon's actions but they didn't make it obvious. They acted as though they didn't understand because they didn't want to be caught up in the higher-ups business. They'd rather watch from the side and gossip in private Brandon who felt smug and even happier than Damon twirled the bottle whose head pointed to Damon Damon chose dare and picked a paper from the dare bottle. Brandon collected the paper and read it out loud "Pick a girl and make her blush in three minutes. If you don't succeed, pay the lady a thousand dollars" Ella scratched under the table in agony. Something at the back of her mind told her that she wouldn't get picked and she would, once again, be humiliated
The next day, Damon got up early and got ready for work. Oliver was still in Damon's room with his illness still acting up. Thus, it took Damon a while before he could get ready under Oliver's constant disturbance After he was done, he went down for breakfast and left for work. Unlike the last time when he was dressed casually , he wore a lilac turtle neck and a black blazer over it. A black stud earring sat on his right earlobe. His hair was left in a ruffle while his right hand was dipped in his pocket. His stoic expression and unhurried steps created a barrier between himself and the rest of the world, warning everyone not to approach him for any reasons He didn't stop at the receptionist. Rather, he headed straight to the private elevator which was for Jeremy alone The staff on the floor, although excited to have seen him again, didn't stop their work and gossip like the last time. The last time, Jeremy kept them working over-night and he even termed it "easy punishment" The
"I'm only helping my uncle out by pointing out the flaws I saw in that presentation. Why should I apologise for that? Right, Uncle?" Damon looked at Jeremy "Uncle?" Not only Ian, all the people that didn't recognise Damon were shocked. So far they knew, Jeremy had never mentioned having a nephew. "You think by calling him Uncle, you'll be allowed to go scot free. Our meeting has been delayed by you!" Mr Robbins spat Ian's eyes shifted. Earlier, he also heard Damon call Jeremy his uncle. Was it possible that this man was Nathan Snyder? Had he dug two pits for himself by offending both Nathan and Jeremy? Ian took alternative gazes at both Jeremy and Damon. He shook his head. It was impossible for him to be Jeremy's nephew. There was no slight resemblance between them Jeremy had been quiet all along. The thing he most feared had started to unfold. On the day he received the news that Nathan had returned, he was in country Z to finalise the transfer of all properties of the entire S
Later that day, Jeremy received a call from Tyler, the person he called to investigate to check whether Damon is really Nathan "Sir, I've been trying to investigate, but it seems in the span of twelve years that he was away, he stopped existing. It doesn't make sense, I can't find a single information about him" Jeremy fell into deep thought. A few seconds passed before he replied " Search for what happened to Paula Brooks and her son, Damon Brooks" "Alright sir. Do you have a picture of them?" Tyler asked " I don't. You can try finding out the roots of Damon Brooks from Baron Patel, and then do the rest using your own sources" Jeremy replied " Baron Patel?" "Yes. I'll send his picture" Jeremy was well aware of what took place during Damon's welcome party. The person that told him about Nathan's return also filled him up about all that took place in the hall When he heard of it, his suspicions concerning Damon heightened It would be more than disastrous if everything he put
In the evening of that day, Ambrose went out to get some kitchen supplies when a call from her mother came through "Hello mother, how have you been?" Ambrose excitedly said over the phone. She hadn't heard her mum's voice in a long while. Coupled with the giddiness she felt due to what happened the previous evening, there was clear ecstasy in her voice "I almost thought you'd forgotten your mother" Loretta said over the phone. Although her words were hinted towards anger, her tone of her voice was gentle and caring "I'm sorry mother. A lot has been on my plate lately. I've missed you sooooo much" Ambrose replied, stretching the "so" "A lot that you couldn't even spare time to check up on your mother? Is Damon there? I expected more from him" Loretta shook her head "Uh, Damon is- working?" Ambrose replied. It wasn't a complete lie. He was working, sort of. "Are you sure?Are you lying to me? Are the both of you on good terms?" Loretta asked, she was able to detect the slight chang
He then put the golden bar that had his name on the table. As he was about to take his seat, a knock sounded on the door following the entry of Ian. "Sir, I have with me your schedule for the day" The last thing Ian wanted was to lose his job. He was the breadwinner of his family and had all the accumulated weight on his shoulders alone Besides being paid a huge sum of money as salary, he also enjoyed the privilege of being able to brag to others that he worked in Snyder's corporation Therefore, despite his dissatisfaction towards Damon, he had no choice than to respect him as his bossIan gave Damon the file. As Damon went through the pages, Ian said "There's a business deal we have been trying to seal up with a foreign firm, Dee's enterprise. They sent an email last night to affirm the collaboration. Though, I got news early this morning that another business organisation went to them and tried to propose another deal in an attempt to steal our collaboration with them "Damon pau
Although Jeremy already signed the documents of ownership transfer of the companies Damon gave to him, he didn't plan on visiting any of them. That was paramount to ridicule He used his hands to straighten his tux before he took his keys and left his apartment. He drove towards the outskirts of the city. He soon got to a street where there were no houses, all there were forests. Even after an hour had passed, Jeremy's car didn't slow down. He drove past the desolate street until he reached an abandoned street with old buildings He halted his car in front of an old building that already had mosses growing on it. Jeremy packed his car and went towards the house. He unlocked the door and entered. Dust and cobwebs filled every inch of the house. The pieces of furniture, along with the wall lights and picture frames were all covered with white cloth. Jeremy picked up an old broom by the door side and used it to remove the cobweb on his way as he went up the staircase When he got upst
Meanwhile, “Jeremy, death is better than this torture you're putting us through. Just kill us and put an end to this madness “ Matilda said through her chapped lips. There were heavy chains around her wrists which made it impossible for her to lift her hands. Her supposed pink dress was now brown due to the accumulation of dust on it It was obvious that the place she was in had never been cleaned. Her dried hair was messy and had dust on it. Even her skin had lost all radiance. The outline of her skeleton could be obviously seen Matilda used a sufficient amount of strength to speak those words. Every word that went out of her mouth was akin to a piercing on her throat “ Just take out lives already, you monster “Charles spoke up. He was in no better condition than Matilda. It is safe to say he was in an even worse state. Not only were his wrists bound in chains, but his neck was also confined in a long ring.Even if he wanted to, he couldn't drop his head or look downwards. He was
