"Roses are red, Violets are blue. Faces like ours belong in the zoo. Don't be mad, I am there too. Not in the cage. But laughing at you,"The elderly man sang this rhyme. Everyone laughed when he used rhymes.
One individual, however, was not amused. On his face, there was NOT A SINGLE LIP OF A SMILE.
As he thought back on the previous night, his heart was racing. When his mother passed away, he held her in his arms. His father and younger brother were both on the ground, covered in blood.
He wished to pass away alongside them, but he is unable to. Not until he exacts his retribution and until he discovers the treasure's mystery.
Why did they kill the whole family, exactly?
One of the wealthier families in the city, his family was not easy to murder all in one night.
His mother's last words before passing away were, "You have to save yourself, save our family history, as we promise to your great grandfather."
Damien also promised his mother that he would preserve the heritage and treasure.
One of the patients asked, "You silly duckling, why are you not laughing," as he sucked his thumb. and bringing Damien out of his thoughts and back into reality.
Damien imitated a duck and uttered "quack, quack" in a fake laugh.
"Let's go for a run," the old man said, winking towards Damien, like indicating something as a hint.
>>>>
After 3years.
DAMIEN and the old man kept running around the hospital like lunatics. They acted like psychos.
Two nurses stood by their points. Finding it odd yet intrigued at the two men that were exercising.
“The young one became like this when he knew all his family were dead,” one of The nurses with blonde hair whispered, giving Damien a sympathetic look.
“What about the almost aged man?” The other brunette asked.
“No one knows, but one thing for sure; he’s spooky.” The other nurse answered, “even as a psycho” she frowned.
Damien and the Strange man stopped at the two nurse points, to catch their breath.
“I can remember doing this years back, when I owned over ten world-class companies, that Worth’s billions and trillions,” The old man said loudly. He smiled fondly, as if remembering the good old days.
As Everyone heard him they broke into laughter.
“For a psycho, you do have big ambitions” another nurse said.
Damien smiled, and decided to play along.
“Boo, can you give me one billion dollars to buy some candies, I haven’t had some in a while” Damien said, kneeling down in front of the strange man.
And everyone laughed at the show. After all they were psycho’s, right?
As they were laughing, a woman entered and beside her was a girl. Her whole body was filled with scars and bruises.
As Damien saw her his eyes widened in realization.
LILY!! Why is she here? Why in the world is his fucking best friend here with bruises all over her body? He felt like giving the woman beside her a good nose crack and whoever made her like this.
He recognized the woman beside him. She was from a very wealthy and inLilyuential family in the states.
All these inLilyuential families and meddling into dirty businesses.
Seeing Lily there made him feel guilty again. He knew the woman there was responsible for Lily's appearance,but he was more intrigued to why they were here.
He was in pain. But he had to pretend to be peaceful. The woman walked towards the nurse point.
“How can I help you today ma’am?” Nurse Ruth asked the woman who came with the girl.
“Oh, I came here for some reasons though,” The woman answered slyly with a smug smile on her face as her eyes locked with Damien's eyes.
“I came to sympathize with that young man over there, I can feel his pain from afar off,” The woman said as she pointed at Damien.
Damien kept snapping his fingers quietly, to keep calm.
The woman suddenly pushed Lily forward. The girl groaned in pain, that was all she could do anyways.
Snap.
“I would like this trash to get married to that unfortunate idiot over there” she said to the nurse as she gestured towards Lily and Damien.
Snap.
The nurses just looked on in confusion as they glanced at each other, passing weird information through their eyes.
“Lily here was too beautiful for this animalistic being over here, so I made her look like him, right Lily?” The woman asked in a mocking tone.
Snap.
Damien kept snapping his fingers with full force trying to calm himself down. He didn’t care about the status of the woman, all he wanted was to launch an attack on her.
“I want them to get married this instant. Ugly and wretched would make a good couple,”
"But ma, this is not a church or a court, we don't join couples here" A hold nurse, already irritated by the woman's attitude blurted out.
"Silly me, I came to take Damien to his beloved wife. Guess building tombstones would put food on their table" She sneered.
"Haha," she laughed,
Snap.
“Just look at how perfect you area, ugly monster and a silly monkey,”
“NO!”
The nurses shouted
At the same time, the woman was terrified because Damien lost it. He launched at the woman and punched her face.
Everywhere was dead silent. Damien was breathing hard, the woman held her face in agony and pain. The punch punched out some of her teeths and blood spilled on her clothes. She screamed. But as she glanced at Damien, she doubted if he truly had mental issues. Then she saw saliva dripping from Damien's mouth. She smiled inwardly, this coward can't be normal she concluded."What did you do that for, idiot?" She violently asked Damien, she couldn't go near him because he stinks, coupled with the saliva dripping from his mouth."He doesn't like being called 'silly' he gets really violent when he hears that '' A nurse explained to her. She decided to not lose track of why she came here. She didn't have time, she would deal with him later.She saw Lily feeling sad and downcasted upon seeing Damien's situation. She laughed at the poor girl and pretended to pet her."Sad at your lover's state of health?" She drawled as she asked Lily who was focused on Damien's face. It took Lily all the se
Third Person POV Lily fell on the bed. Devastated. Broken. She was a mess. "How can I cope with this, if someone had told me I would be in this state now I would have probably killed the person, but now here I am." She loved Damien, no doubt. But how would she cope with him out of his mind, and her parents unsupportive. She cried. Damienlooked at her, but coul to do anything. Like his hands were tied. He left to make medicine for her. Lily cried hard! Her future life, her dreams, her goals, all is down the drain already. What made her really sad was her parents reaction to the she issue. She didn't get pregnant out of wedlock, she didn't kill anyone, she just helped her best friend build a tombstone for his parents for his parents and siblings. But she was still asking one question. And that is, who is responsible for the murder of the steels family. Lily has known the steel's almost all her life. "They were not the type to cause trouble, or engage in dirty acts, that's why I
As they packed out, Lily was desperate and furious. Desperate because she didn't know where they were going. Her husband was literally a psycho, how can he find a place for them to stay, and she didn't have any money with her. And she couldn't ask her parents for that. She sneaked a glance at Damien as he packed his things, his face was stone cold and too straight. She knew even in his psychic mind, he still missed his parents and everyone that used to surround them. She knew he would miss his younger brother. She missed him too. She missed all of them, Mrs Steel, Mr steel. She felt emotional again. She didn't know when the tears were falling from her face, she tried hiding it but Damien had seen it already."Hey, are you fine?" He asked her, looking really concerned. Lily's heart felt warm,she still had a place in his mind. She nodded, affirming that she was fine. Damien gave her,'i'm not buying that' look.Before look could say anything, Damien pulled her into a hug and sniffed
Damien saw the disbelief look on Lily's face. He couldn't blame her, it's abnormal for a psycho to have or get connections to this time of villa.It was given to him by the old man in the hospital. The old man virtually put Damien in charge of his villa and to head the organization.Lily couldn't believe this, but she had to. She stared at Damien disbelievingly. It was obvious, he had stolen the keys. What if they were caught ? What if Mrs Elisa Turner came back?"Where did you get this key from Damien, how did you get to know about this exquisite house in your state, answer me!!" She literally screamed. She was in a confused state.He understood where her worries and concerns were coming from. He knew she didn't want another issue happening and he understood that.He couldn't find it in him to fully open up to her, she will have to be patient , when the right time comes she would know."Aye! I met an old man in the hospital, he gave me this key. He told me when I get out of the hospi
It has been one week since the 'take off your clothes' incident. Damien knew she was shy and self conscious. No man had very seen her naked before, of course who would?He wasn't protective or that shit! He just knew that even Lily won't let that happen.When she pulled off her clothes, it took all the control in him not to touch her the way he wanted.It was hard already just staring at her there, clothes down full blown naked.He went to the bathroom to cook off then he came back.He was sure Lily didn't know her effect on him, on normal circumstances he would have grabbed her and fuck the hell out of here given the current situation, now isn't the time for that.He quickly applied the bandage and the ointments on her body. That's how his week went, changing bandages and applying ointments.He was grateful to the old man he met at the hospital. After giving him the Keys to the house he gave him contacts of a few people he had left.Damien was amazed at the raw talent of the particu
Her anger was justified. But one question she continued asking herself was, 𝘪𝘴 𝘋𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘭𝘺 𝘢 𝘱𝘴𝘺𝘤𝘩𝘰?She wants to believe so. She wants to believe that he is recovering but the week's event shows otherwise.Right from getting the huge mansion, to helping her get her skin glow back, to making dinners he used to make before things changed, now , receiving strange phone calls and calling out from her trip home.She couldn't place her hand, but something was off. Damien is hiding something from her. She heaved a worried sigh, she hoped all this ended well. ******Damien stared at Lily till she entered the car and the car was out of sight. He hadn't meant to call off his promise by following her home, but he had to do the needful.Receiving the call made him nervous, scared and at the same time happy that he had finally found the evidence he had been looking for.The woman who he expected would be here any moment from now. He is forever indebted to the old man and his
It was Lily. She was obviously calling to apologize for what she said to him. He actually didn't blame her, he would make it to her. But for now, he's a heavier matter.He picked the phone,"Hello, am I on to Mr steel," Damien's heart stopped when he heard the voice.Why is a man with Lily's phone, who was he and what connection does he have with her? He had lots of questions on his mind."I'm the head of operations at a hospital near the villa estate,""Get straight to the a point,""A lady who's name is Lily had an accident ,she was rushed to her. I decided to call the person's on her emergency list,"Damien's face paled. What could have happened to her? It's not been two hours since she had left the house, and she is already involved in an accident."Where is she now? He asked as he stood up."She still here at the accident scene,"Alexia looked at him with a questioning look.Damien dropped the phone on the table. Why does everyone in his life get hurt at the end of the day? He wo
Damien looked around, he made sure no one was in sight. Just him and the guardians. He smirked. He was about to kick some asses.The guardians were all masked so he couldn't recognise who they truly were. There was no hope of knowing where they came from.The first guardian jumped from the back aiming to hit Damien with his iron rod.Damien bent sideways, grabbed his hand, twisted it to the back and gave him a head knock. Two guardians came up holding long irons, Damien dodged all their hits easily. He used a nearby wood to smash their heads, they were left groaning on the Lilyoor.Three guardians came at once. He stood calm and just practiced the eagle move he was taught, part of the strange exercises the man at the hospital taught him.They all missed their shots and fell on each other. Damien picked two up by their hair and used his leg to kick the third one, throwing the two on his hands where he pleased.He was left with one, which seemed like the head of guardians. He caught hi
