Stella is surprised to learn Anna's father was humiliated at a party held by Damien.She didn't even know that Damien had started his revenge on them. And now his action is planting fear in her father's heart."I'm losing hope here. Should I sell the company out to raise back the money?""Father, don't. You won't be selling anything.""Then how will I pay those that I'm owing? I had so many plans for that money, and now I don't know what or where to start from," He said, feeling down.Unable to bear her father's pain, Stella suggested, " Go ahead with the business proposal with D. F company. I'm sure you'll be accepted."Mr McCardy looked at his daughter and saw nothing but assurance written all over her."Just give it a try father. I know you'll get in. Just stay positive," She said, encouraging the petrified man.Having his daughter's support, Mr McCardy decided to do as she said."Okay, I will send in my proposal this night. Thank you, my dear, " He appreciated, hugging Stella."Yo
That night, Stella made dinner for both her father and herself. She didn't allow the maid to do it but felt like making her father's favorite meal to calm his worried heart, by herself.Stella came to tell her father, who was staring at his phone in the living room with fear, to tell him dinner was ready. "I'm coming dear. Just give me some minutes," He said, checking his mail."Father, their response won't just come in with speed. Just put that aside and have your dinner, " She said, walking up to him and taking his phone away."What if it comes in while I'm eating? I don't want to receive a heartbreaking response that'll send me choking on my food.""Father, please put that aside. You won't be holding your phone while eating because it'll be with me. Now come along," Stella said, pulling her father along with her to the dining room.Just as they were about to enter the dining room, Mr McCardy spotted someone familiar at the entrance of their home."Oh, Damien," He called.Stella,
Mr Blackwood managed to put the embarrassment from the party, way behind him.He was at his company preparing for a meeting with his coworkers, when he got a call from his friend, Mr McCardy, saying he had good news to share with him.He didn't want to listen to him but soon allowed his friend to come over and share with him the good news. "It should help me forget about my worries, " He believed, preparing for his friend.Mr McCardy came over and the two got to talk about some things, before Blackwood reminded him, " You said you have good news to share with me.""Oh yes, I do. This news is massive, " He said, sitting right."Waw, massive you say? I'm curious to hear this, " He chuckled."It's big my friend. You are looking at one of D. F company's partners," McCardy shared with Blackwood, who looked at his friend like one who was joking."Are you pulling my leg? I know you well McCardy. You are afraid to even lift your phone and text the company. How did you...""I'm not lying my f
Oh Damien, this isn’t right. Exacting revenge on the Blackwoods doesn’t make you any less than them, Stella thought.“You seem lost in your thoughts Stella. What are you thinking about?” Damien said, handing her phone back to her.“No, nothing.”“I know that you’re worried about the bet. You don’t need to worry about me. It is them you need to worry about because when I’m done with them….” Damien shook his head in anger. “Leave it Stella. C’mon let’s head back home.Damien took Stella to the parking spot he had parked his car.“Here you go, my lady,” Damien opened the car door for Stella and they both giggled.Damien drove Stella to his mansion..“Good evening, Sir,” Hillary, Damien’s servant, dressed in black tuxedo greeted Damien as he opened the car door for him.Hilary rushed and opened the car door for Stella. “Good evening, ma’am.”Stella gazed at the mansion in amazement. Truly it was a mansion fit for a trilionaire. Damien had his name printed on the gate of the house. In the
Chapter 12“No, Dad, I want to take the first step in punishing that incompetent fool called Damien,” Anna said furiously.“No no, babe. I think your father’s right. Which story of what Damien had done to us was the saddest? It is definitely his, so—”“What do you mean by that? Are you trying to say that my husband was seriously humiliated and can’t stand in front of society because of that?” Mrs Blackwood roared in anger.“No, Mrs Blackwood. I’m not saying any of that. All I’m saying is that if Anna was to go and explain what happened at the show, he wouldn’t believe her because she wouldn’t have the full detail. Now tell me, who is better to tell a story than who it happened to?” Ken said with a slight grin.“You’re right, Ken. Dad will go and narrate is sad story of torture to the CEO and I’m sure he will sympathize with you and punish that street dog, Damien. Tomorrow, we strike,” Anna said with a serious look on her face..“Good morning, Sir,” the security guard greeted Mr Black
“And how do you intend on doing that, Anna?” Ken asked with a puzzled look on his face.“I don’t have a plan yet but what I want to say is that everyone will participate in bringing down Damien. We all have to split up into two teams and attack Damien from different angles. When we’re through with him, he will return back to the streets where he belongs,” Anna smiled. “Mum, Dad, you both are on the same team now. While Ken and I are in the same team.”“Listen up, Ken,” Anna pointed her finger at him with eagerness in her eyes. “We will strike tomorrow. May the best team rejoice most in Damien's suffering!”.He turned to one side of the bed and felt uncomfortable. He turned to the other side of the bed and had the same exact feeling. He yanked off the bed sheets from the bed because he was feeling hot. He shifted to one side of the bed and the temperature remained the same. He has been going at this for the past four hours. Thus, he slept at eleven o’clock. “Why am I finding it diffic
Chapter 14“And how do you think we’re going to get the address of the CEO of D. F company. I mean m, he’s the CEO of D. F company. He’s a ducking trillionaire. It’s not like we could just walk up to one of his security guards and ask him,” Ken scoffed.“You know, that’s actually a brilliant idea. Who would be better to ask that type of information if not his security guard?” Anna nodded happily to her well thought out plan.The couple left their meeting spot and headed for D. F company to exact their plan.“Good day, Ma’am. Good day, sir,” A security guard standing outside the company replied to the couple. The security guard was clearly the only person on duty because his partner had fallen sick the day before.“Good morning to you too,” the couple chorused, wearing a smile on their face.“How may I help you?” The security guard asked with a puzzled look on his face.“It may seem like we’re asking for too much. Anyways, please, we need to know where the CEO of this company lives. Uh
Chapter 15“Hmm,” Damien scoffed. “Who do those Blackwoods think they are? They think if they sent the letter directly to the CEO that I wouldn’t find out. But they don’t know that I am the CEO. This game I’m playing with them is such a one sided. I’ve been winning and they’ve been losing.”He kept his briefcase on the truck of his car while gently sorting out some files.“The only choice they have is to kneel and beg for my forgiveness and that is what they’ll—”Damien felt a hand touch his back. He quickly turned around and saw three men standing before him. They all looked like thugs.“What do you want?” Damien asked as he walked back.“What’s in that briefcase, gentleman?” One of the thugs asked.“None of your business. I’ll give you a free advice. Leave here peacefully,” Damien t and returned to his paper works.“Hey look guys! The gentleman dressed in suit has warned us not to mess with him. He’s really busy. C’mon guys, I don’t think we should be bothering such a gentleman,” an
