Thomas and Rose's wedding was actually accelerated to the next day without waiting any longer because they were running out of time and chasing an opportunity that would never come back a second time. The news of their expedited wedding spread throughout the country, and it made Teni, who was watching the television, frown in disbelief.
"Rich people are fickle and can go to extremes. They can change a wedding at will when they're supposed to get married tomorrow, but instead, they get married today. It's crazy," Teni said as he drank his coffee.Damian stayed where he was, not far from Teni. He watched Thomas and Rose's wedding broadcast in the media with a crooked smile on his face but did nothing. He just stayed where he was, seeing what would happen and what would happen next."They didn't get married for love either, just for business and company matters. Tsk, will a lifetime be happy if it's just for business? Too childish!"All sorts of nagging from Teni could be heard, making the room not quiet at all. Damian watched the television program in silence before he finally saw that his cousin and the woman who was supposed to be his future wife were already legally husband and wife. His smile grew wider when he saw that, in this country, if you are married, then it will be difficult to divorce. That's why he was happy to see them get married because it could make them suffer and be imprisoned in their respective relationships for a lifetime.Besides, with the power he had, it would be difficult for Thomas and Rose to divorce because he would never allow it. Those two had betrayed him, and he would never let them live happily.Not long after, the sound of Teni's cell phone made Damian look at him without speaking."Yes, hello? What, Mr. Clarke asked me to play gambling? The bet is 5000$. Alright, I'll come over now."Never one to be discouraged, Teni got up from his seat and walked towards the room. Damian smiled slightly, and soon, he saw him coming out of the room with his black bag of gambling money."You have to guard the house! I'm leaving, and I don't know when I'll be back, but when I come back you have to prepare my room. The dinner delivered later must be in a steamer in my room!" he ordered Damian haughtily, to which the man smiled and nodded."Yes, sir. Be careful on the road," he said as Teni walked away.The fat man looked like a very busy man. He made phone calls here and there like he was very important until he finally left in his slightly outdated car. Damian didn't know why the man never wanted to buy a car when he made so much money from gambling. It was just that gamblers would prioritize gambling over buying valuables because they have to have a lot of money to become a bookie.Shortly after Teni left, Damian found an incoming message on his cell phone, and that made him walk towards the room where he usually rested, grabbing a black jacket and putting it on before walking out with his head covered.He locked the door to the house and walked towards the south, where there was a tall, ornamental plant that was arranged like a fence. If someone stood there, it would be invisible, and it was the door where he always met his men, aka Roy."I've made Teni leave and won't be back until tomorrow because there are many people there who will play gambling with him. Master can return like the ultimate ruler, and there will be nothing they can gain by your return there." Roy said politely, making Damian, who was already sitting in the car, smile softly."Have you prepared everything?""I have, sir. I can assure you that if you really do all that today then your Uncle and Aunt won't be able to do anything either. They can be eliminated from the Moorsley household. Your parents will no longer lose anything from it. And for today, you will be able to see your coworkers. It's just that you should pretend not to know and crush them slowly because that would be much better. It's hard to tell which ones are hypocrites and which ones are truly loyal, so you better watch out for them slowly when we arrive." Roy said, making Damian nod.Slowly, the luxury car left the hamlet area where people with bad lives lived. Most of the people who occupied the houses and hamlets some people liked to gamble or owned small nightclubs and used them as improper places. Many of the people living there were even part of drug dealers or the like. The hamlet was a very bad place, but the police never investigated it because most of them worked together.Soon, they had entered a large highway, and cars were passing by. There were many tall buildings, and it made Damian remember more and more about these places. He had amnesia for a few months, and now he was back as the ultimate ruler and successor of the Moorsley company and family.They stopped at one of the buildings and changed clothes. Damian was wearing a shiny black suit, looking dashing and handsome with an aura and authority that could not be denied; for the past few years, no one could openly offend him because he was a highly respected person."Go straight to the building where their wedding is being held. Has the lawyer come there yet?" he asked as he sat in the back seat."He has, sir. Mr. Thomas' family hired a lawyer. They shouldn't get a share because the company was founded purely by the late Great Master, aka your father. It's just that they are greedy and wealthy, so they intend to take over everything."Damian smiled and leaned back casually. His face looked so stern, as if he would not give a chance and ease to anyone who dared to offend him.Soon, they arrived at Thomas and Rose's wedding venue. Several of his men's cars followed behind him, and as soon as he came out, the guests were like seeing a rarely seen angel in their eyes.Damian ignored the whispers from the guests who noticed his arrival. They were surprised to see him return because they hadn't heard from him in months. Even though not many knew that he was missing, many people were still amazed that he came with all the charisma he had.Damian crossed the altar aisle, walked towards a staircase, and climbed up it, walking straight to the room where the newlyweds were resting in front of a lawyer."Then can we really take control of the company and all its assets under the name Damian Moorsley?" asked Theresia enthusiastically; she was Thomas' mother.The lawyer smiled. "Of course-""Of course not, as long as I'm here."Damian interrupted, walking straight into the room and making those there turn to him with shock and bulging eyes."Damian Moorsley?! You're back?!"Rose looked at Damian's face as he walked into the room they were in. The bride's face looked pale because it should have been Damian next to her, not Thomas, because she should be Damian's future wife, not Thomas.It was just that Rose had deliberately betrayed him, making Rose worried about what this man would say to her."You're still alive?"Damian smiled slightly at Thomas' words, the man asking as if he knew Damian was almost dead. The flat look in Damian's eyes made Thomas swallow and get up."Where have you been? We've never found you even though we've been looking for you. Where did you go, brother?" he asked, changing the mood.Damian was back, and he couldn't be blatant about wanting to take over the company. Damian was the heir apparent; he didn't even need anyone else to recognize that he was the heir apparent, as his late father had made him the only son of the Moorsley family and would be the successor to the company and family."I've only been gone for a few months, bu
Thomas rubbed his face in concern. "We all know how Damian acts. You're right; he's releasing us because it's our wedding day. He doesn't even look jealous of you; maybe he'll wait until we're done with this, and then he'll act. He's gone now, but he'll be back," Thomas said, making Rose catch her breath.The bride swallowed; she saw and remembered Damian's gaze on her earlier. Sharp and prey-like, during their relationship, Damian never looked at her like that at all.Rose realized that she had betrayed Damian, and when he wasn't around, she married Thomas and openly betrayed him. That's why he wouldn't talk to her and only glanced at her once."We have to be prepared for whatever he will do after this. Don't let us suffer."***Damian returned to the Moorsley family's main house and met with his mother. The middle-aged woman looked happy to see him and even felt like she was dreaming because her son, who had been missing for almost a year, was back again and in front of her."Your y
Rose was still crying at his words. Damian who is now different from the Damian she used to know, this man can already be sharp-tongued and hurt her heart. "Are you still here? Do you really want to see me do something evil to you?" Damian who opened his eyes looked at Rose's face in surprise. "I didn't know you were still alive that's why I married Thomas. I have a wedding appointment with the Moorsley family, how am I supposed to move while everyone in this town is asking me about everything. What can I do? I'm just a weak woman, I don't have the ability to face them. When Thomas came to me and offered marriage, I could only agree immediately because it was my savior. I had to, Damian." Rose said as she sobbed softly. "You can't do all this to me? You have to look at the situation before you really hate or do something evil to me."Damian sighed. "That means you're not loyal either, if you were loyal to me you wouldn't care about Thomas asking you to marry him. You've been intendi
"Damian, where are you?! Come here immediately!"A young man hurriedly walked up to a middle-aged man who was fat and walking with boxes in his hands."I won the gamble! You get some water and wash my feet! I'm tired!"The man nodded obediently, walked towards the back, and fetched the warm water the man needed. He looked down at his feet, washing the feet of the fat man who had been his boss for the last few months."Do it right! You've been my servant for how long, and you're still not good at cleaning my feet!"No matter where he went wrong, Damian Cerden would always get angry. Even though he had done a good job, his employer would become an arrogant, haughty, and annoying man when he went home victorious."I've done well-""I didn't ask you to reply to me! Don't you remember how I used to pick you out of the trash!" Damian hardened his jaw; every time, that was all his employer, Teni Nord, said to insult him. Little did he know, he alone could destroy this man's home and illicit
"How can you kick us out of here? I've lived in this place for years, and now you're just kicking us out?!"Some arrogant men who had been the most powerful in the place went berserk at being evicted from the housing that they had occupied for years. Today, as soon as they woke up, some black-clad men from nowhere came and chased them away, saying that the houses near that place would have a mansion built for a rich man who would occupy it.Of course, some of the arrogant men didn't accept this and got angry there. But the men in black didn't care and continued to chase them away and even threw away some of the clothes and bags that their families had."Hey! You insolent bastards! We've occupied this place for decades, and why do you come and kick us out!""Go away, this place will soon be built into a large mansion! Our employer has bought this land, and you don't deserve to live here anymore. Ask the landlord for the compensation money as we have already paid there."The whole day w
"Did you see the construction in the White housing estate? Are there many people there?" Teni asked Damian, who had just arrived. "Ah, yes, sir. I saw a lot of heavy equipment destroying buildings and contractors. There could be major construction going on. What's going on there? Is the neighborhood being evicted?" he asked with a serious face.Pretending to be stupid was a lot of fun; Damian felt that this was his other life after he got tired of being the heir, so he could be a poor person like this by being the Damian Carden in Teni's life."I got word from Jerry like that. They said the people evicted them from the Moorsley company. They said they were going to build a house for them, so they were evicted. Do you think I'll get the same thing? Is my house going to be evicted and demolished by them soon?"Damian frowned and then shook his head slowly. "I don't know about that, sir. It's just that as long as you don't cause any further trouble, it won't happen. The white estate is
"Damian has been missing for the past few months, and soon, the Moorsley family and company will fall into my possession because there is no heir but me who deserves it. He's just a stupid man; how could he disappear without any news? Now that the case of his disappearance is being held at the Moorsley family home, there is no crisis and commotion in the company. If not, then the company would have been in chaos by now." Thomas said as he rubbed the head of Rose next to him."He's just a cold and arrogant man. All this time, he never cared about me and was only busy with himself. If you get all this and marry me, will you also become a cold man who doesn't care about me? The Moorsley family's power is huge, and the company is also very influential. You should know that you can get all of that because you're marrying me, so you can't change when I do." Rose said with a scowl on her face.Thomas laughed because he found it funny what his fiancée said. He and Rose were already engaged, a
Damian walks out of the company and straight into the car. He looked at Roy, who was talking to one of the directors, who ushered him to the side door and left quietly.He didn't want anyone to find him yet; he already knew that some people were watching him and were suspicious, so he had to leave quickly to be safe.He still had to keep his current whereabouts a secret until Rose and Thomas got married. Betrayed by his fiancée and cousin w, ho were intent on seizing all his power, how could he show his face to them?After Roy spoke with the director, he hurried into the car and looked at Damian's face, who was quietly sitting there."I received news that Miss Rose and Mr. Thomas are getting married in two days, sir. They are currently preparing the marriage registry. The reception will be in two days, and they will be legal soon. They are intentionally speeding up the wedding because they don't want you to show up suddenly thinking they're starting to see signs of you showing up," Ro
