Damon's eyeballs moved as he tried to make sense of what he heard. He came after that boy died. Did that boy die before his mother gave birth to him? “How old should the boy be now, if he were alive?”Damon asked “24 years”“The same age as me. What do you mean I came after he died?” Damon asked Carter closed his eyes and shook his head “Kid, trust me. It's better if you don't know these things. Just keep living your life and pretend you didn't come across that picture”“I won't hesitate to slash your ears off if you don't answer me” Damon's voice was laid with dangerCarter heaved a deep sigh before he said “ Paula is not your biological mother”Gbam!!! Damon felt as though a roofing of glass just shattered on his head. His grip on the knife loosened and the knife fell to the floor Seeing that Damon was discombobulated, Carter pushed him off him and ran away. Damon didn't have the energy to go after him. He sat on the floor with a heart weighing heavy His mother wasn't his biolo
Tom picked the picture and gazed at it. It was a photo of Ambrose in her college. She was smiling and talking to a felllow student “What has such a gorgeous girl done to offend you, princess?” Tom finally asked “That's none of your business. Will you help me with this?”Tom smiled and tapped his shoe on the floor. He twirled the photo in his hand with his eyes lingering on Ella's face “I need more clarity. What exactly do you want me to do to her?”“That's completely up to you. Just make sure she doesn't recover from it for a long time”“Where does she stay?”Ella told Tom all she knew about Ambrose. Where she lived, schooled and where she worksElla knew Tom would help her to do anything she asks for. He has been on her tail for so long, since they were teenagers, wooing her and trying to be in a relationship with her While Damon was away, Ella's mind didn't really drift to having any relationship. She liked her solo life. So long she had money and could look down on others, she w
Margaret pursed her lips together and lowered her eyelashes. She laid back on his chest and asked “I don't understand why you did that, still. But, I trust you”Jeremy's shoulders stiffened when he heard Margaret's latter sentence. Trust? If she knew all the things he had done, would she still trust him? “Father is a good person. And Nathan, he's a good kid. You have a wonderful family. Even master and madam were wonderful people, life is just an irony for letting good people die so quickly” She said Jeremy's entire body felt like rock. His body stiffened. He couldn't move a muscle, even his heartbeat seemed to have reduced its pace He has never really thought of the possibility of Margaret finding out about the things he has done. It doesn't matter anyway, if she finds out, she'd have no choice than to take his side. They're married, he should be her first priority Besides, Jeremy was sure she wouldn't find out. In fact, he was sure nobody would Soon, he'll send Damon to where
“Why are you interested in my matter?” Carter rubbed swallowed the boule of turkey without chewing and raised a brow at Jeremy “Did that kid send you here?”Carter gulped down a glass of water and stood up from the chair “Are you in cohorts with him?”He lifted his legs and wanted to run out the door but Jeremy's words stopped him “Do I look like someone that takes order from anyone?”Carter looked down at Jeremy's shoes. Its shine and quality looked like it had more worth than Carter's entire being It's true. He looked like a wealthy man. Probably even more than Damon. What reason would he have to listen to Damon. Besides, Carter was sure he had never seen Jeremy, so it's impossible for Jeremy to harbour any vengeful intent towards him He returned to his seat and continued from where he was and dug into the leftovers on the table “Do you know who his biological parents are? I mean, that boy that was chasing you” Jeremy asked “I have no clue. How do you want to help me? You see, I
“Alright, mother” Damon responded. Ambrose's mother handed the phone back to Ambrose “Uhm… I-I'll see you tomorrow then” Since Ambrose's mother was unaware of her relationship with Damon, Ambrose didn't know how to talk to Damon in presence of her mother “Mhm. Don't be nervous” As though Damon was able to sense that Ambrose was restless, he tried to calm her “Yes. Good night”The call ended Immediately the call dropped, Brandon's call entered Damon had no intention of picking up. A lot was roaming through his mind and the last thing he wanted was someone to cause him more headache. But, Brandon was persistent. He kept calling. Damon ruffled his hair and connected the call “Nathan! I've got big news for you. But it's not a good one though” Brandon's voice loudly rang through the phone's speaker “Leave it to tomorrow morning”Damon replied “This can't wait. It's about that girl you like, Ambrose”“What happened?”“Earlier today at the set, Ella almost ripped Ambrose's hair off i
But then he remembered that Jeremy promised him a huge sum of money if he successfully get Damon to go back to Dallen Haves with him He stood his ground and replied “Sounds like you're trying to bribe me. You have a choice here, kid. Come back home with me or face backlash from the world”Damon stayed quiet and stared at Carter. He parted his lips to say “Let's talk inside, Uncle”“No, I won't go with you. You've made a very big mistake, kid. And if you don't come back with me, you should be ready to face the consequences” Carter continuedDamon didn't respond. Rather, he signalled to Kelvin and Lucas who were in their car behind Carter Before Carter could utter another statement, his hands got grabbed from behind. “Let me go!”He tried to wave himself off but he couldn't. He turned to Damon “Kid, are these people your men? Tell me to let me go, or else?”“Or else what?” Damon's sharp gaze and heavy words caused Carter's confidence to waver. “Who are you calling kid?”Lucas kicked h
“It's fine, let him go”Damon replied “Jeez, you all better treat me well whenever you see me. I'm like an uncle to your boss” Carter flared his nostrils and pointed at them“Get out of here. I'm like his father. I'm more important to him than you are. You better pay more respect and know where you stand, you hear me?” Orlando pushed Carter out of the way and went into the car “I'm his uncle! I have a better stand in his life!”Carter yelled at Orlando as he entered the car and pointed to his chest. He turned to Damon and said “Can I take a ride in your car? Drop me off at the main road”“Go in the car behind us. There's no space here for you” Orlando replied from inside the car “No, I want to–”Damon cut the rest of his sentence “Go in the other car”He then went into the car Carter wrinkled his nose and marched into Kelvin and Lucas's car. They all dispersed. Damon went to work with Orlando while Carter dropped from the other car when he reached where he would alight When Damon g
Mrs Patel brought out her phone and made a call to her husband, but the phone call wasn't going through “The call is not going through, but don't worry. Relax”“Thank you, mother” Baron said, hugged his mother and went to his room Meanwhile, after Carter got dropped off. He went back to that restaurant where Jeremy took him to the previous day. He didn't know where he lived, or he any way of contacting him “Excuse me” Carter called out to the waiter that attended to them the previous day “Hello sir. How may I help you. If you'd like to make an order, please have your seat, i or any other person will come to attend to you” The waiter replied skillfully and with respect “No, no. I'm not here to make an order. I want to ask you something”“What's it? Please do understand that I must not be seen lazing around and having a chat with someone during work hours, so make it snappy”“Okay, I will” Carter harrumphed and said “Do you remember me? I came here last night with a man, a wealthy m
