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

He had an idea and needed to find a way to execute it. He eventually got a way and gently laid Joanna at his side so he could stand up. He began dialing as he left the bedroom.

“How do I look?” Joanna twirled before Damien, whose eyes glided from her face to the hem of her dress.Joanna was more than beautiful in a sight. No matter what she wore she always looked extremely beautiful. He did not mind if her hair wasn't combed or if she wore sweatpants and a big T-shirt. She was beautiful. With a grin on his face, he walked closer to her then wrapped his hand around her waist. “Why aren't part of the models we would be looking at today?” he asked and Joanna shook her head with a blush“Because I'm not a model” she replied and Damien raised s brow“Who said you were not? You are my model which is good as I will be the only one to look at you as long as I wanted” he said and Joanna blushed.Between his sexy voice and his compliments, she could fall a million times for him. Joanna glanced at the time, then turned to him. “We need to leave before we miss the entire event” Joanna said, quickly pulling away from Damien and rushing over to complete her dressing. “R

Damien at that very moment knew what was going on. For his assistant to call him in quickly, something must have happened. At this time, he needed to be very attentive when it came to the company. The people who were planning on bringing down had not been eliminated yet. So everything the company was trying to do, or he was trying to do, needed to be watched 24/7. Yes, he could not do it himself, but he has signed someone to do so.His assistant was just to go there and ensure everything was in order. So him saying there's an emergency means something has happened. Damien quickly sent a text to Gray before hopping into his car.“Factory” was the only thing he said to the driver, and immediately the engine was turned on. In minutes they were approaching the factory. Just by looking at it from afar, the main could already tell what had gone wrong. His heart was pounding in his chest because he knew how much effort he put into the factory.The board members had thought he was not going

Damien worked into the office with a stern expression on his face. Every staff knew not to mess with him at this very moment or else they stand a chance to get fired.Just by mere looking at him, they knew something was up. Those who feared and did not fear him before now did. He was in no mood to play with anyone. Even Joanna tried to cheer him up, but he was really upset. She only successfully cheered him up when she was around. But from the moment he stepped out of the house heading for the office, the frown he had kept aside reappeared. Most people thought Damien was soft, but he was not.Yes, for a while he has been away from the business, but that does not mean he does not know how to play his cards very well.
