"Get your flthy hands off me. You're arresting the wrong person. This snitch should be the one getting handcuffed" Baron tried to wiggle himself away from the policemen but he was already handcuffed and couldn't do much "Damon! Tell them the truth and stop playing them!" Baron yelled as he got taken away Damon felt a tinge of guilt inside of him. Everything Baron said was precise. He was fooling everyone! But asides guilt, he felt honoured. He didn't even have to raise a finger. Oliver and Brandon stood up for him. He felt fulfilled.Even though he knew who the real mastermind was. Mrs Evans. He wasn't sure how she was aware that Baron was planning something. But she handled it well. " We're sorry for the intrusion. Please, carry on with the celebration" Oliver said out loud The guests went on and acted like nothing happened. Of course, the only reason what happened at the club the previous day didn't spread was because no one dared to speak of what happened. Just like today, no o
The party, along with the media and the guests helped spread the news of Nathan's return. The news reached the top ten hottest news in the country. And was even broadcasted on TV. Soon enough, everyone in the country heard of the news, which was Oliver's intent and was the main reason he threw a party He wanted everyone to know his grandson had returned. The news spread like wildfire, until it reached Jeremy's ears who was in a neighbouring country at that time. In a duplex in Country Z, Jeremy squeezed the phone in his hand as he listened to the other person over the phone. His jaws were clenched and his teeth were tightly gritted. "Nathan has returned sir. News of it is everywhere. I have sent the link of the news to you" The person over the phone said circumspectly, careful not to anger Jeremy with the news "When did he return?" Jeremy asked "According to the news, he returned three days ago. But it wasn't officially announced until last night when Mr Oliver Snyder threw a p
The people in the company were still chattering and gossiping about Damon. Even the receptionist left her work to join in the gossipThis was the atmosphere that welcomed Jeremy. His presence wasn't even noticed until he harrumphed and said "I don't pay all of you to chatter" The floor immediately fell into silence as everyone went back to their work. Everyone gulped internally and prayed Jeremy wouldn't make a mountain out of a molehill. No one was expecting him to return to the country so early. Thus, they were relaxed, and weren't alarmed when they were gossiping Jeremy ruled with an iron fist. He didn't have the tolerance for any kind of slack. His features were soft and delicate, which made him appear gentle. Deep inside, he was neither gentle nor delicate. " What could be the reason for all of you to leave your work to chit-chat instead?" Jeremy dipped one of his hands in his pocket and walked towards the receptionist " S-Sir. Mr Nathan was here earlier. So, we got a little
After Mr Patel left the golf place, he went back into his car and instructed his driver to go to the police station where Baron was confined. While on the way, Mr Patel wore a face mask and a face cap to conceal his identity When he arrived at the police station, he asked to see Baron. He was led into Baron's cell. "Father, what took you so long? Doesn't matter, so far you're here now. Let's get out of here. The night I spent here was hectic. If I stay here another hour, the next place you'll visit me is in the hospital" Baron immediately stood up from the wooden cranky bed when he saw his father. He dusted his trouser, held the metal door and shook it slightly "Where's the officer that'll open this door?" "Foolish child!!" Mr Patel erupted in anger. His forehead creased and his eyebrows scrunched together " Do you know the level of damage you've caused. Perhaps it will be better for you to spend a few more nights in jail" " What damage? All I did was try to tear that snake's mask
Throughout the rest of the day, Damon spent his time researching and working on his knowledge. He was cooped up in his study room and didn't even realise when the day fell dark until Margaret called him to come out for dinner He concluded what he was working on and went to the dining area. There, he met Oliver sipping his ginger tea with a smile on his face. He happily stuffed a spoonful of food into his mouth "Grandfather, are you expecting someone?" Damon asked as he took his seat. Next to Oliver, there was a clean set of plate and cutlery positioned on the table "Oh yes! Your uncle has returned to the country. He called earlier to tell me he would visit tonight. That lad almost never comes home" Oliver replied Without any clear reason, at the mention of Nathan's uncle, Jeremy, a chill ran down Damon's spine. The air on his skin stood and his heartbeat palpitated. " How was your first day at the company? Did you find anything too difficult to handle?" Oliver asked, cutting Damo
The next day, Ambrose sprawled over her bed. The blanket that was meant to cover her laid messily on the floor. Her hair was spread over her pillow as she slept in a star position The golden sunlight seeped from her window and rested on her face. Her phone beamed indicating a message came inAmbrose rubbed her eyes and groggily reached for her phone. The slumber she felt flew outside the window when she saw the headings of the message It was an email stating that she was picked to enrol in the movie she auditioned for. However, when she scrolled further down, her brows creasedShe was given the role of the second female lead instead. It was better than nothing. The earlier smile found its way back to her face. She took a screenshot of the email and forwarded it to Damon with a caption "Honey, look, I made it!" A reply came in within seconds " Expected. You did well" Ambrose's smile was so wide it almost reached her ears, she immediately typed a reply "What's my reward for gettin
" There's a need. I'll be her friend first and then put a few good words in for you, so she'll know what a good person you are. I've taken it upon myself not to let you die a lone man" Brandon said the last sentence with more seriousness " Fine, do what you want " Damon replied and ended the call. He went back into the house and ate his breakfast. He didn't meet Oliver at the dining area Damon was halfway through his meal when an image flashed through his mind He saw a small boy, seated on the same spot he was, eating his food and next to the little boy was another boy at his right and a girl at his left. The boy and girl were arguing, the little boy in the middle ignored them and ate as though nothing was going on around him The flash of image in Damon's head came with an ache in his head. He quickly downed a glass of water and massaged his forehead. As he was doing this, a man came into the hose. He was holding a suitcase and was wearing a labcoat One didn't have to think much
Baron took a few steps closer to Damon. He had been restless the past few days. How was Damon able to climb the ladder so quickly? The feeling of restlessness grew inside him which was the reason he went to visit Damon's house He had been going since they released him from the hospital. He was sure Damon would, one day, visit the place and he was right Damon glanced at him before he properly closed the door and advanced to leave " It'll shake tables if I were to take a photo of you coming out of this house and then send it to Mr Oliver" Baron folded his arms across his chest and lifted a corner of his lips"Are you threatening me?" Damon stopped in his tracks and asked " No, not a threat. I'm just saying, I can easily put an end to your shenanigans. Don't go around thinking you're above me, just because you've borrowed someone else's name. You're still nothing! Mr Oliver would show you no mercy when he finds about your lies " Baron said Damon gave Baron a small smile" Go ahead an
“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.
