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
“Wow! Perfecto!” Anna said as she scoffed and mockingly clapped her hands above her head.“Well done Mr lover boy, always showing up on time…congratulations the hero of the day” she said scornfully to Damien.“I don't blame you, if you had something good to do for this miserable God forsaken life, I'm sure you won't always be here in time to rescue this bitch!” Anna said cursing.Damien ignored her as he parted Stella's hair aside and keenly staring at her face like he was searching for something missing. He gently turned her arm observing every part of it, checking her face again to be sure. He did all these ignoring the presence of Anna and her boyfriend, ken.Stella gazed at Damien with a stunned look, as she got confused to why he is acting that way, she wondered what it is he is looking for.“Hey! Damien” she chuckled“What is it? What are you looking for?” She asked.“ I hope these fools didn't hurt you? Are you okay?” Damien asked, concerned“Look at this wretched beggar acting
“You see what you've caused?”. Sarah said as she angrily poked her index finger on his forehead, making his head tilt backwards a bit.“I warned you against this revenge but you would listen, now just take a look at how we were all embarrassed”, she continued“I even had to play along to cover my shame. Ouch” she said as she hid her palm on her forehead frustratedI have said I am sorry, I since didn't know they will harass you, I don't even know if they knew we were here” Damien apologized with sincerity in his eyes.“You apologize like you will ever change your mind, but no! You are just too stubborn to listen”. Stella said, as she gave up on trying to talk Damien to stop with his plansHe smiled at her as she looked frustrated yet adorable, he moved closer to her, wrapped his right arm around her waist, from her side and gently moved her to where the chairs are.He adjusted the chair backward as he gestured at her to sit. He then beckoned on the waitress to serve them.“What will
