Cassandra raised an eyebrow as she deciphered what Damian was thinking about, but all his emotions were concealed by the smirk on his face. But she was curious what secret Damian was talking about, so she had already given the card.
“If he tries to run, beat him up!” Cassandra commanded, and his men obliged as they became more attentive.
“You have a lot of trust issues, don’t you?” Damian said, smirking, as he took the card from Cassandra’s hand. “I won’t run and hide. I don’t have any reasons to do that.”
Everyone’s gaze was fixated on Damian, curious about the secret he was about to show them. So, Damian did not waste any more time as he immediately took something at the bottom side of the card. Under the barcode is a gold chip.
“Well…It depends whether I’ll believe you or not.” Cassandra crossed her arms, smirking. “But yeah, let’s see what kind of a lame excuse you will give me right now.”The side of Damian’s lips rose as he pulled the card from his pocket. “No. I will not say it.” He raised his hand, and his fingers gripped the card's side. “I will show it.”What Damian did shocked everyone in the accounting office. He pulled the card to the side, revealing that the black color was only a cover, and it showed what color Damian’s card was.“A gold card!” some of the students exclaimed in shock.The black card was only a facade as the card’s color was shiny gold. Based on its appearance, it looked
“Why are you raising your voice at me? Did you forget that you’re the one who asked me a favor about this, huh?” said Cassandra in a threatening tone, looking at her surroundings to ensure that no one was eavesdropping on them. “This is your fault. When you talked to me earlier, you were sure that Damian stole the money!”“Because it’s true. He couldn’t get even one thousand dollars just by saving. There must be something!” Ava persisted in her hunch. She even stopped doing her make-up for a moment because of how intense her conversation with Cassandra was.“Yeah, there is,” Cassandra said, sighing in frustration. “He gambled in the lottery, and he won.”“Lottery?” Ava asked as her forehead creased. “What lottery?”<
IN A DARK, cold room, in the middle of a queen-sized bed, Cassandra was naked on all fours, while two men were on both her sides. The one was thrusting from behind and holding her waist properly, while the other one was in front, thrusting in Cassandra’s mouth.“Whose whore are you?” the man in the front asked, but Cassandra could only moan as an answer. “Answer me, Cassandra Thayers. Whose whore are you?”Cassandra removed the c.ock from her mouth temporarily as she groaned in pleasure. “I am yours! Yours! I’m only for the two of you—Ugh!”“Shit!” Cassandra immediately stopped the video and deleted it from her email. Her hands were shaking badly, but she still managed to call Sienna, who answered after just a few rings as if she expected Cassandra to call her back.“Did you see how slutty you are, huh?” Sienna asked in a mocking tone. “We fed you, took care of you, and even made you study at Medivien University, yet you’re fucking guys around behind our backs?”“Who sent you this?”
“Thank you for defending me earlier, and for this handkerchief, too,” the woman, who turned out to be the cashier at the accounting office earlier, handed Damian the white handkerchief. ‘I am sorry if I disturbed your lunch. I just want to give this back. Don’t worry, I hand-washed it earlier.”“Sorry for being rude, too. I thought you were another student who would make fun of me,” Damian answered in a stern yet polite tone.“You don’t need to give it back, but thank you.” He took the handkerchief from the woman’s hand.“Handkerchiefs were used to wipe tears, so it is not a good gift to give to someone, especially to your romantic partner. Take that from me.” She smiled.Damian did the s
“YES. This time, it was longer and vivid…” Damian remembered Sabrina’s face again, smiling at him. “That memory was warm and peaceful, unlike the first one.” Suddenly, Damian remembered the difference between Sabrina’s appearance and those two memories. In the first memory, Sabrina looked elegant and at peace, while in that car accident, she looked abused and exhausted. “We are taking your medication slowly. As much as we want you to remember everything, we also need to ensure that it will not cause other complications,” Caroline explained while looking at Damian intently. “But seeing how you resurface a memory of the past frequently, something might have happened…” “Like what?” Damian asked, his brows furrowing. Caroline looked at him and asked, “Did you encounter s
“HELLO, ma’am Ava? I am already here at Heaven Island’s airport, and I can see Damian in front of me talking to a receptionist,” a brunette woman in her mid-20s said as she pulled her luggage while talking to someone. “I cannot take the same room in his hotel, so I checked in at a nearby hotel.”“Why? Is the money I gave you still not enough?” Ava asked, raising an eyebrow. “It is already fifty thousand dollars. Are you using my money for some things that aren’t a part of the errand I gave you?”“No, Ma’am. I have the official receipts of my expenses here, and I will give them to you once I come back,” the brunette woman replied, being attentive in following Damian. So far, Damian has not noticed her yet. “Heaven Island may look ordinary, but things here are so expensive. Even the hotel room costs $30,000 for two days already. I cannot use it all as I need some money to spare.”“$30,000 for two days? What is their room made of? A gold?” Ava couldn’t help but snort. “For a dirty, cheap
THEY STARTED the conversation afterward. Damian was the first one to tell things about himself. He tells Ava everything from his amnesia to Ava’s sudden engagement with Carson, but he purposely leaves out that he is the real heir of the Ferremento family.“That witch? She dumped you because she thought you’re a hidden heir from a rich family?” Anya asked as her eyes widened in shock. “Hah! I never thought she still had high ambitions despite their family being in the top five rankings.” She snorted.“If it was you, wouldn’t you do the same?” asked Damian in a casual tone, but the disappointment was still evident in his voice.Anya raised a brow, looking at Damian intently. “Are you insulting me?”“No…” Damian immediately waved his hands, realizing how someone could misinterpret his question badly. “I just mean that I have nothing to offer. What Ava did was wrong, but somehow, I realized the reason behind her decision. Her family had a public image to uphold.”“Being rich doesn’t mean
“NO,” Damian answered without even having a second thought.“What? Hey, how can you reject me just like that?” the brunette woman asked, her eyes widened and her jaws almost fell to the floor. “Do you know who I am? I am Jennifer Sage, one of the highest-paid girls in various bars!”It was the truth. Jennifer Sage was known to be the ultimate seductress, which gave her the advantage of charging more dollars to those men and even women who wanted to book a night with her. It was also the reason why Ava personally hired her to follow Damian.Ava wanted something to happen between Damian and Jennifer. And when it happens? She could now frame Damian as a jerk who assaults someone like Jennifer because he didn’t have the money to pay her. That was the story she had in mind.

THE hostage-taking Carter did in the warehouse spread in various news channels like wildfire. Everyone was shocked because of his sudden escape from prison, making the residents afraid for their safety, knowing that the management wasn’t doing their job properly to monitor the prisoners.With that, the warden and his apprentices, who were also under Carter’s authority, were fired from their jobs. They were replaced by a management who cared about their citizens, removing the patronage system in the prison, and bringing back justice at the same time.Due to Carter’s crimes being in high intensity, he was transferred to a high-security prison. Carter could only laugh as his mind was still in the past, thinking how rich and powerful he was, even though that wasn’t the case now.Carter had already gone insane, but it was only the beginning of his suffering.“At last, you finally arrived,” Catelyn, who was waiting in Carter’s cell, greeted. “Did you miss me?”“What are you doing here?” Cart
THE lights were flickering, adding tension in the air, as Damian entered the warehouse alone. He doesn’t have any guns or other weapons with him, nor he didn’t call anyone like Carter instructed.Damian was on high alert as he continued walking when suddenly, two men wearing full black clothes started to approach him with their guns.‘Fuck,’ cursed Damian at the back of his mind, seeing how helpless he was right now.Especially after seeing Ava tied to the chair, his mouth gagged, while Catela is sleeping in the crib beside her.Despite the situation, he couldn’t give up. Damian needed to save himself along with Ava and Catela and end this fight with Carter so it wouldn’t repeat.The two men tied Damian’s hands and feet to the chair, but unlike Ava, they didn’t gag him.“It is so unusual to see how obedient you are. I never thought you could do it,” Carter, who appeared from the shadows, smirked upon seeing Damian being helpless. “That’s right. They will always be safe as long as you
“That was not enough for all the bullshit you did to me before. But for now, let’s call it even," Damian said.Carson only shook his head as he wiped the blood on his lips before leaving the house. And the only thing that was running through his mind was how strong Damian’s punch was… before until now.THE NEXT morning, Carson didn’t just confess what he did to the board members, but he conducted a press conference to publicly apologize to Damian. He knew that Damian deserved to clear his name and regain his reputation, and although his public apology wasn’t enough, he still did it to show his sincerity.“Starting today, Carson Ferremento is now terminated as the CEO, and will face two years of suspension because of him ruining the Ferremento Corporation’s reputation,” Piper announced, her tone colder than usual. “The position will go back to Damian Giovanni Ferremento.”Carson smiled sadly, but he knew he needed to accept the consequences of his actions.However, since Damian had a
“That bastard. He told you that even though you have a husband?” Carson asked, his teeth gritting.“Well, this is just an arranged marriage, and he knows it.” Ava shrugged. “To be honest, I would marry a man like him although he isn’t the richest, than stay with a puppet like you, who only knows how to follow someone else—”“Here,” Carson interjected, giving Ava the signed papers. “I will let you take Catela because I need to deal with something, but I will take her away from you once I'm done.”“Hah. As if I will let you do that.” Ava scoffed and rolled her eyes. “Thank you for this, Carson. Catela will benefit so much from this.”And as if Ava was waiting for this to happen, when she went again to their bedroom to take Catela, she already had her luggage with her and was talking to someone.“Yes, he already signed the divorce paper, and I’m all set…” Ava said, smiling from ear to ear. “Oh, your bodyguard is outside the house already? Alright. I will let him in.”Ignoring Carson, Ava
After Carter went out of the house unnoticed, that was the only time Carson could breathe properly. He didn’t even realize he was suppressing his breath because of fear.‘Is that really the brother I used to be with ever since I was a child?’ Carson thought, his heart racing, as he leaned into a tree. ‘We are family. Why would he threaten me like that? Is the company and the organization more important to him than me?’And upon asking himself that question, Carson got his answer. Carter wouldn’t mind killing everyone who would be a hindrance to his plans, and he is not an exemption.His gaze went to the house—Something he had because of Carter. Everything he had was him, not giving Carson any chance to carve out his own identity. He was only known for his surname, and for all his careless actions when he was in teenager days.The only thing he had that wasn’t connected with Carter was Dollie, whom he took for granted, and now his family; Ava, his wife, and Catela, their child.“Ava,”
Realizing that Damian needs him right now, Veron took his phone and called a number. It was someone he thought he would never talk with again.“Veron,” Charlie Wiles, the CEO of the Legion Mercenaries, called. “It has been a long time, huh? What do you need this time?”“I have to ask you for a favor,” Veron replied.“A favor?” Charlie raised an eyebrow. “If it is about our operations, I’m sorry, but I need to decline. You know that we can’t take clients in other countries other than Colossia, right?”“I know that. You are not taking me as a dumb person, aren’t you?” Veron shot back, his voice laced with irritation now. “I need someone I trust to do this task for me, and I’m willing to pay any amount you want for it.”“Any amount, huh? Talking to rich people is different.” Charlie chuckled on the other line, yet he became serious afterward. “But alright, deal. What is it that you want me to do?”“I want you to find Correl Ferremento’s location and kill him,” Veron commanded, his tone s
“Carson,” Damian called as his eyes darkened in anger. “It is you, isn’t it?”“If you are asking about the new CEO of this company, yes. It’s me,” Carson answered, smirking, as he placed the documents he brought to the table. “Why? Are you surprised that a person who was once a happy-go-lucky like me would be chosen to replace you?”“Why would I be surprised if you planned everything for this to happen?” Damian shot back, the annoyance evident in his tone. “Seeing you in front of me now just strengthens my hunch. It was you who messed up with the data. How could you?”Carson’s smirk widened. He didn’t answer. Instead, he stood proudly in the middle with his arms folded.“I’m not here because of the shitty things you accuse me of, but because I have given the board of directors a proposal strategy that you can’t provide.” Carson slid the document in front of Damian. “Here. Look at this.”Damian didn’t move at first, but a few seconds later, he took the folder and looked at its contents
“Young master,” James, whom Damian called, answered on the other line. “Young master Carson is still doing his old routine; working in his office the whole day and going home afterward.”“How certain are you?” Damian asked.James’ brows furrowed, but he still answered in a polite tone, “I’m always monitoring him, young master. I didn’t even let him out of my sight.”“I know, but something might have happened that slipped your notice,” Damian said, his tone low and serious. “The Ferremento Corporation is in chaos right now, and I’m sure Carson is involved with it. I need you to think carefully.”James obliged. The tip of his brows pressed harder on each other upon recalling the surveillance, and his lips widened as he remembered something.“There was one incident. A few days ago, Miss Ava Medivien bumped into me and caused a commotion. For a moment, I lost sight of young master Carson’s office,” confessed James. “But it was only for a few seconds.”“And that is the only amount of time t
