The man chuckled and smiled at the younger man seated beside him.

"It wasn’t really hard to find you, you've become popular over night, the whole nation knows you” the man said but Damien wasn't satisfied. He decided he would hold out on the questions first until he gets out.

"I am very grateful for your help out there sir" Damien says appreciating the man kind gesture towards him even if he knew there was a reason behind the help the man had rendered, he was still grateful. The man had saved him from further heart wrecking questioning that he wasn't in the least ready for.

"I am going to stop here" Damien said. He planned to stop here and find a place to rest, then he would find a way and inform his parents about his recent decision.

"Oh! No, I need to take you to a place, you need to see something” the man said stopping Damien from getting out of the car.

"Good morning" Damien responded in a rough voice, he was still laden with sleep. When Damien noticed the person wasn't going away any time soon, he decided to let them in and put his bath and questioning on hold. “Please come in,” Damien called out.

He couldn’t believe he is a Silverio, a name he has held countless times, a name that parts ways for people, he has the blood of a Silverio running through his veins.“I can’t believe this brother, we all thought Jason was dead and he is here in the flesh standing right in front of us” Gabriel said, staring at Damien, observing the uncanny resemblance between the man standing right in front of him and his brother.“I, uhm, I think I have to go

More of the students began to trop out from their dorms to come watch the drama unfolds.“He’s not backing down, is he?”. One of the guys said with a disdain and loathing looks on his face.“He was drove here by a luxurious car. It could be he has already been paid for tarnishing Miss.

Fortunately for him, the beach was free of crowds and he sat there deep in his thoughts.“Should I leave you alone sir Damien?” Charles asked, bringing Damien back to the present.“No, no, Charles, it’s fine. Please take a seat” Damien patted the empty sandy space beside him and Charles who had no choice reluctantly sat down.Charles, who had witnessed the cruelty Damien had gone through, had wanted him to be strong but he began to doubt his wish when he began to see the cold exterior Damien possessed.“You are Don Romano right hand man right?” Damien asked, still staring far ahead into the sea.“Yes” Charles replied, he was confused as to why Damien would ask him such a question, when Damien was fully aware who he was to Don Romano.“Correct me if I am wrong.

The wounds and bruises were almost gone, only a few tiny little scars. At first, he was scared that the scars would never go away.Mrs. Silverio had assured him it would fade away when she had come into his room last night and had spoken to him.“But for it to completely heal, you will need to apply some ointments which I will provide for you,” She had supplied him with almost all the healing herbs she owned. Which made him wonder if she knew he was going to come running back to them.“Stop thinking about all these Damien and focus on the plan”.

Damien grunted under his breath. He was beginning to feel irritated with so many hands working on his body.“Pardon Sir, we will be done in some minutes"A polite voice of one of the lady attendants answered but Damien was sure that was far from being true.After some time, Damien began to feel relaxed as It looked like they were already putting a finishing touch on his face, “Here sir, we are done”.

After all, he was an adult and she couldn’t force him to stay at the mansion. “Of course, there isn’t an issue” she finally said and Damien gave a nod. “Not as if I don’t like it here but I also need to inform them about all these” Damien pointed towards the mansion. He knew if the information had gotten to his adopted parents before he did they would feel bad about it. The day for the party Don Romano had told him was close and he knew it was only a matter of time before his parents would find out. “I understand you Damien,” Agatha said. She tried to conceal the sadness in her eyes but Damien could still see the sadness and pain in her eyes. “It’s getting late and I need to get some rest,” Damien said. “Of course,” Agatha Silverio replied. Damien had no intentions to rest, he was to meet up with Char

Dad, that's what I wanted to let you know. I had to let you meet with my fiance" she said, looking at his face to read his expression.

Where could they have met before? For all he knew, they had never seen face to face except now. And, he had only caught a glimpse of Lesley's father's face in her mobile phone or in a magazine he found among her belongings some weeks back.So, he couldn't get a clear picture as to why his face looked familiar to the older man. It was not like he was a popular person or that he was a son of a rich magnate too who was popular." I don't know why you look familiar to me too." Lesley's father said, still looking straight into Damien's eyes. "I have never met you, neither would I have had the thought of having any business with you let alone think of squeezing a few minutes out of my schedule to have to seat before you now" Mr. Smith said in a hoarse voice which made it o
