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
Chapter 16“I’ll make sure they pay dearly for what they had just done to me-Argh!” Damien held his hurting stomach and and dragged his body. He managed to cross to the other side of the road.He tried stopping some of the vehicles that was passing by but they all ignored him and drove like they didn’t see him.Damien managed to stop a taxi.“Hey mister, please take me to Maddison estate, will you?” Damien asked while breathing heavily.“Sure I can,” the taxi man said while looking at Damien from head to toe. “Wait Mister.”“What’s wrong?” Damien asked with a puzzled look on his face.“Why do you look like you were tossed and beaten up? Are you sure you have money to pay me?” The taxi driver fixed a hard scowl.“I was actually beaten up and I don’t have money to give you because my wallet was stolen but I promise that I’ll give you a job that would change your life. I promise,” Damien promised but the driver was reluctant on offering his service to Damien.“Mister, if you don’t have m
Chapter 17Damien woke up on the bad side of the bed today. He didn’t wake up on his own accord but to the pain of his right eye. He hopped out of his bed, holding his right eye.“Argh!” He cried from the immense pain that he felt.“The never! The nerve that those people have to send thugs after me. This pain would always remind me how much seriousness I have to put in taking revenge on them.”Damien had organized the time for the picnic with Stella. He made sure Stella’s boss granted her a day off. He was to meet with Stella by eleven o’clock. The young trillionaire had sent one of his servants out to go get him a drug that’ll help with his stomach ache.Damien took his shower and came out of the bathroom. He looked at himself in the mirror, gently examining his black eye with his hand.“It’s time to pay those Blackwoods a visit they won’t expect. Those people will have to pay for what they have done to me. I won’t just let this slide. This time, I’d round up my aim of revenge in one
Chapter 18Damien finally arrived at the garden. He was wearing a face cap and sunglasses. He wore casual clothing to suit the occasion.“Stella!” Damien waved from afar.Stella blushed and waved back to Damien. Damien quickly spotted her. He rushed to where she was seated and joined her. He sat on the thick fur-like mat in which Stella had placed for the picnic.“I’ve been waiting for you, Damien. Where have you been?” Stella asked.“I’ve been…uhm, handling some important work,” Damien grinned widely. “What about you? What have you been up to?”“Nothing really. But aren’t you surprised to see me here all of a sudden? My boss called out of nowhere today and gave me a day off without me asking. Isn’t that surprising?” She asked.“Yes. It sure is surprising,” Damien winked at her.“Oh…..! You asked my boss to give me a day off, didn’t you?” Stella asked, suspiciously laughing. “No need to ask because I know you're the only person that could get me a day off.”Damien took off his face c
Chapter 19“Who does Damien think he is? And how dare him barge into my house like that?” Mr Blackwood paced angrily up and down the house.“Calm down, Mr Blackwood. That beggar isn’t worth anything, let alone our anger. He doesn’t deserve to get our anger out of us like this. We have to stay calm,” Ken said.“You’re right, Babe. Damien is just a beggar. And we can’t simply get annoyed from what a street beggar like Damien says. We all know that we weren’t the ones that tried to rob him—”“Rob him?” Ken cut in. “I don’t think that phony was robbed at all. I think this is all part of his scheme.”“Yes!” Mrs Blackwood echoed. “You’re right, Ken, I also feel like he’s faking.”“This must be one of his many trump cards. That beggar wants to ruin our name in the city by filing a complaint against us for robbery. That beggar knows what he’s doing but I won’t let him go through this devious plan of his,” Anna said.“What if he actually got robbed?” Mr Blackwood asked.“That wouldn’t bother u
