“Mr Nathan, this is the drug I usually give to your grandfather to help stabilise his condition. This helps for a only a few days, so I have to renew it every now and then” The doctor replied as he gently flicked the needle of the syringe “Yes, Nathan. It's my regular injection. Don't fret”. Oliver replied as he rolled up the sleeve of his clothDamon's gaze focused on the yellow substance as he asked “What's its name?”The doctor felt as though a hammer was being hit against his chest when he heard the question, but he maintained his composure and replied skillfully “This is a newly developed antidote that helps to suppress the effect of any type of pressure on the brain. A name hasn't been coined for it yet” Damon raised his right brow and stared at the doctor. The doctor tried to maintain his stance but he couldn't fight against his nervous system. A layer of sweat slid from his forehead down to his chin The doctor wanted to proceed with injecting Oliver, but Damon kicked his ha
She wasn't sure why, but she felt like she had done Damon a lot of wrong She went into the room and stood by the door side Oliver cooperated with the doctor as he did the necessary checkup and took a small portion of his blood “The result of the test will be ready early tomorrow morning. I'll have to come back then”The doctor replied as he placed his instrument back into his bag “Is there no way of getting the results today?” Damon who was already in the room folded his arms across his chest and asked The doctor, Mr Edward, opened his mouth, but no words came out. He didn't know what to respond with. Lucas was a good friend of his and he so much respected him. While he was coming, Lucas told him he was coming into the Snyder's mansionAlthough he wasn't really a social media person, he had still heard of Nathan Snyder. He didn't have to guess much to figure out who Nathan was, especially with the aura that surrounded him He had been working since morning, and he wanted to go hom
Dallen Haves was not too far from city B, so it took Damon less than an hour to arrive there. He drove through the familiar streets and a wave of memories came crashing on him The coconut trees, palm trees and the river were the first things that welcomed people to Dallen Haves. The colour symphony that came from the flowery plants behind the palm trees carried a fresh scent Coupled with the cool morning breeze, there was a calm atmosphere that made anyone feel at home. Dallen Haves was a small town, slightly bigger than a village and smaller than a city. It wasn't developed, thus the roads were bumpy. Damon drove slowly but halted when he got to a particular palm tree. There were two small handprints on it He stared at the handprints as his mind took him back to when he was fifteen. Ambrose was only twelve that time. It was very late at night when they both snuck out of their houses. Most times, it was always Ambrose that instigated Damon in doing such things Ambrose first snuck
While on their way back to City B, Damon asked Orlando “Why did you go away after my parents passed away? Did something happen? Or were you running away from something?”Orlando wiggled himself on the chair to find a comfortable spot before he replied “You're right, your parents’ deaths was someone's intention. That day, when master and madam were going to meet that person, master instructed me to follow him from a distance, just in case anything was needed. Two cars zoomed to block master's car in the front and then a set of people got down from that car and went to master's car”Orlando took a pause to try to gather his words “I couldn't properly see what happened after because a set of people surrounded both cars. I couldn't see through them. But, I do know that, immediately after those people left, master and madams car blew up”Damon gritted his teeth as he drove “Can you recognise any of the people you saw there?”“Not really. They were all wearing sunglasses. After master and m
“I have work to attend to. Go on your own” Damon harshly rejected her. Even Lucas and Kelvin felt embarrassed for her. “But we haven't gone out together in a while” She held his hand and complained “I want to spend time with you”Damon glanced at her before he nodded rigidly. After all, he had a lot on his plate already and didn't want Mrs Evans to kidnap Ambrose again or do anything of that sortElla's smile spread as she said to him “Go up and get ready. I'll wait for you here”Damon went up the stairs while Ella dropped her bag on the couch and went to the kitchen The maids bowed their heads when they saw her. Margaret greeted her “Miss Ella, what are you doing here? You can get yourself dirty”Ella took an apron behind the door and draped it over her neck “I want to make breakfast for Nathan”“That's very nice of you. But, you don't have to. That's our job and that's what we're here for” Margaret replied nicely Ella wrinkled her nose and glared at her “I said I want to do this.
Ella didn't bother Damon again till they got to her shoot location. She grabbed onto his hand and entered the studio “Miss Ella, splendid morning” Freya then turned to Damon and almost popped her eyes out. Was that Nathan Snyder? He looked even better than in the photos she had seen “G–Good morning, Mr Nathan”Ella noticed how Freya was looking at Damon. She moved her out of the way and proceeded to go into the makeup room. When the director of the shoot saw her, he ran to her to welcome her “You're here! Good, good. The makeup and hair stylist is waiting for you in the dressing room” The director then glanced at Damon. His reaction was worse than Freya’sHis mouth hung open as he pointed at him “M-Mr N–Nathan, you're here as well. What are you doing here?”“Close your mouth” Ella said to him “He's here to accompany me for my shoot” Ella took his hand and continued walking Freya ran to their front and directed them to the waiting room. The waiting room was neatly organised, without
“What do you think about the shoot?” She asked as she stuffed her things to Freya “Good” Damon replied. Just then, a white car zoomed in and halted in front of Damon “I got someone to bring your car over. You can use it to return home. I have somewhere to be”Although dissatisfied, Ella had no choice but to part with him. She turned to Freya and said “Go inside the car and wait for me”After Freya left, Ella stood on her toes and stole a kiss from Damon. She didn't even wait to see what his expression was before she scurried into the car Damon's brows pulled together as he wiped the spot on his lips where she kissed The paparazzi from earlier was still lurking around that area. His eyes were glued on the entrance of the studio, waiting for when Damon and Ella would come out There were photos of Ella all over the Internet, but there were minimal photos of Damon and even fewer ones of both of them together The paparazzi had his camera in place when he saw Damon outside and was luck
“Are you tired of this job? Don't you know who they are? Mr Nathan is the owner of this hotel, you fool!”One of the men blasted The man who spoke up had been working in Nans Hotel since the day Charles established the hotel. He was the first set of workers. After the news of Charles's death broke, the manager, Mr Wilson was the one that had been running the hotel. Oliver put him in that position It was not a secret to everyone in the hotel that the receptionist and the manager were having an affair. This made the receptionist grow wings and made her feel superior to everyone else “You really expect me to believe that? Even though Nathan Snyder is a great and renowned man, this is not a place for him to flaunt your greatness” The receptionist rolled her eyes and played with her fingers She continued “Everyone is aware that Mr Charles Snyder was the owner of this hotel” Her eyes widened when she realised what was happening “Oh my God. Nathan Snyder, Charles Snyder. He is your father
“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.
