Damien opened the door of Joanna’s house and walked in only to find Joanna seated on the couch sleeping in a bad position. He smiled and shook his head. Even after telling her not to wait for him, she still did.He placed a kiss on her forehead and carried her to her room. However, just as he laid her down on the bed, she called out to him with a sleepy voice. “Damien,” she said and Damien hummed lightly. It was only then that she opened her eyes.“You’re back,” she said, pulling him in for a hug. She made him lay down beside her before she asked, “How was it? Did it go well?” Damien nodded. “It did. Dad wants to introduce me to the board and announce me as the new CEO and controller of all Alfredo assets” he told her and Joanna smiled“That is wonderful. See it was not so bad after all” she said and hugged him some more“Can I tell you something, Joanna?” he asked her, with a little uncertainty in his eyes. He was not sure if he had told her about this or not but he knew he needed t

Damien got into the car that his father had specially given to him after signing the necessary document. He drove out of Joanna's house towards Alfredo's company, where he would be meeting the shareholders of the company. They were strong and annoying old men who would do anything in their power to make young lives difficult. Mr Alfredo had one time told Damien all about his experience with these men. They were strong-minded and business-orientated. However, these men can get on the necks of whosoever that is to take over the company. Damien's father had to work very hard to get to the point that he was right now. He had to be tough and quick to make decisions. Most importantly, he had to have ideas to bring the Alfredo company to skyrocket. Most of what he did was have the right people to help publicize the company in various parts of the world. It was a good incentive, but he still needed something more. Damien used the previous day after signing the documents to check what was g

Damien drove into the premises happy about the results that came out of the meeting he attended only a few hours ago. He would have come back on time but he had other things to attend to and at this moment he wanted to be with his girlfriend. He jumped down from the car, opened the back seat of the car then picked up the bouquet he had bought for her. When he walked into the house, he found her on the couch in the living room typing on her laptop with a serious expression on her face. Joanna will then glance at the door. The moment she sees him her eyes will peck up with joy, and she would jump out of the couch rushing over to him and wrapping her hands around his neck. “I've missed you” she confessed “I'm sorry I had to stay back after the meeting to look into some things that were also amiss” he explainedJoanna pulled away with a nod understanding his situation. She was glad that he was now accepted into his family which he was thrown out of. Plus, he no longer had to worry abou

Joanna glanced at Rebecca then returned her gaze to the men who were taking things into their moving truck. “So this is where you live?” Rebecca asked her eyes dating around the huge apartment that she's stood before. She felt jealous then compared the apartment to the house in which she and Alex were living before he was arrested. It was a big house, bigger than Joanna's and she felt she could use that against Joanna. “You know I once lived in a house bigger than this, right?” she asked Joanna did not careShe only gave a nod to Rebecca's words but did not look at her. Joanna could already guess why she was here; to downgrade Damien. It seemed no matter what Rebecca was going to always try to talk down on Damien. The only problem was that there was a time when they professed love to each other and it made Joanna wonder if Rebecca ever loved Damien. She was sure Damien loved Rebecca because of the actions he carried out just to be with her. Rebecca was never rich and she was never

The lady standing before Joanna waved her hands with a smile but unfortunately, Joanna could not smile back because she did not know who she was. After a few seconds of staring at the lady with a confused expression on her face, Joanna managed a small smile and then asked, “Who are you, please?” “I'm Eliza,” the lady introduced while giving her hand to Joanna. Joanna reluctantly took it and gave her a handshake and the lady continued, “Is Damien in? I came to see him?” It was unusual for Joanna to feel jealous or suspicious about anything but she found it odd that someone was looking for Damien because he knew not many people. Moreover, they are new to the environment so surely they could not know someone just from being here for less than a day. She opened her mouth to speak but then Damien's voice came from behind her, “Eliza?” he called, his voice questioning as he did soJoanna moved away from the door while glancing behind her to take a look at Damien who was at the foot of th

Joanna rushed into her car and drove out of the premises with Eliza sitting in the Passenger Seat also feeling scared that her brother might have been really injured from the explosion. A lot of things went to Joanna's mind as she drove through the traffic just to get to the hospital. She did not care about getting a ticket, all she cared about was her boyfriend who was in the hospital at the moment and she was not sure of his current state. She could not ask the nurse before ending the call because her mind was going haywire and all she was thinking about was that she might have lost her boyfriend. When she arrived at the hospital, she did not bother to pack properly and rushed into the reception. “Damien Alfredo. I'm looking for Damien Alfredo” she said to the nurse she saw over the counter“Who are you?” the nurse asked“His girlfriend” Joanna replied“I'm his sister” Eliza also said“Ward fifty-six. Third floor” the nurse replied and then quickly rushed into the elevator heading

Damen always knew that business was a dirty game. Everyone wanted control and failed to understand that not everyone can have that control or there will be chaos. Unfortunately, most people do not understand this and still try as much as possible to get their hands on everything in power even though some may not actually be rightfully theirs. Damien had so far walked in their Alfredo company for two days and he had noticed all that was happening. He knew many people had eyes on the position that he was currently sitting on but in a way, he was naive to think that their greed would not make them try something as huge as wanting to kill him. It was not new information that Alfredos were the one who built Alfredo Oil and Gas Ventures from the ground to the very top where it stood. The CEO position has been passed from Generation to generation to people of the Alfredo family. But as they have seen people would always want that which did not belong to them. “So why did you not whisk all
