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 on her hair.
Lily was shocked, he wasn't smelling bad at all. He still had his fresh smell, he looked alright to her. She let go of everything and melted into the hug, that's what she need right now.
Someone coughed, interrupting their little moment. Lily got angry. It was Elliot.
"What do you want here Elliot, if it is to remind me that I need to go, I know. But," she said as she took bold steps towards him
Elliot stood still. His aunty just told him of the encounter between Damien and Mrs Elisa Turner yesterday.
He decides to keep calm and maintain peace and order not to be beaten to a pulp by this psychopath right here.
"I need to see Celine Baker," Lily asked in a very commanding voice. Elliot stared at her like someone who is out of her mind.
Damien focused on packing and arranging everything, he had to start taking actions. Now is the time, he can't delay any longer.
"You want to see Celine Baker," Elliot jeered at Lily," Celine wouldn't even recognize you to start with, and by the way you are no longer a BAKER! you are a Steel now!" He said as he laughed out loud.
Damien growled.
Hearing Damien growl made Elliot keep shut immediately. He took a step back as Damien walked to where they were standing. He took Lily's arm, roughly.
"I have a better house that we can stay in, it's better than this place we are, come with me," Damien said.
Obviously the looks on their faces showed him that they didn't believe him.
"W, w-h-a-t do — mean? Where do you have to go?" Lily asked as her head spun in confusion.
How can a mentally ill person know quality of anything. Elliot stopped laughing, he was expecting Damien to beat him up, Damien just glanced at the cousin and focused on Lily.
In order not to take chances, in a Lilyash Elliot took their things and threw them outside through the balcony.
"Just go!!!" Elliot barked. As he shoved Lily away.
"Where's Mom and Dad?" Lily asked, the tears were threatening to fall, as she looked at Elliot in disbelief.
"They left already," Elliot answered. Not even sparing her a glance.
Elliot was feeling guilty already, he couldn't even look at Lily's face. He is acting based on orders too.
He didn't want to die, he didn't want his parents to die, but he had to follow her orders.
Damien had gone downstairs to gather their things and make plans for their movement.
He couldn't stay there any longer, he couldn't stand Elliot's arrogance and looked Lily's broken face. He didn't want to cause more harm by beating up Elliot.
As Lily came down the stairs in slow motion, she started having Lilyashbacks into the good old days.
When they used to be a happy family, before her Dad became filled with greed.
It all started with him attending dinners with the rich people and well known Mafia Lord's.
He started brewing hatred against Mr Steel, but there was one thing she hoped for.
She hoped that he was not involved in the death of Damien's parent family. If he were, she thought. She won't think twice to go against him
Outside the compound, Lily saw Damien on his phone and wondered what he was doing, was he being affected by one of his mental breakdown. Damien saw we coming towards him and smiled.
Lily was taken aback, why the sudden gesture of happiness and joy. She was surprised. She didn't know how to deal with a psycho like her husband.
A taxi pulled up right in front of where they were standing. Lily was confused, how can
Damien call a taxi with his state of mind.
"14 Avenue, greystone view, '' Damien told the man.
What! Lily thought. That's one of the richest avenues in the states. It's the Mafia environment.
While in the car Damien just stared outside the window, thinking of how to break things to Lily. He glanced at her, she was asleep. She must be really tired.
Lily woke up immediately and they reached the huge mansion. Why would Damien take her to someone else's house, does he want to sell her ?
The house looked too exquisite for a man of his state of mind.
"Would you just stare at the house while sitting in the car, when you can have a view of what is inside." Damien spoke to Lily.
"Damien, what are you doing? Let's leave this place, you must not be seen in this area" Lily worriedly screamed.
Damien said nothing, he went to the front door, pulled out the keys and opened the house, using his other hand to welcome Lily in.
Lily was shocked.
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
Damien drove them to the hospital. The nurses and doctors in the hospital were all in panic.Lily was severely injured. They took her to a room to examine her but they found out that irrespective of her severe injury she wasn't bleeding, which was unusual.The doctor came out to speak to Damien concerning that."Mr Steel, we have carried out a comprehensive inspection of the lady, and her situation …. is unusual,"Damien locked eyes with Alexia, who gave him a knowing smile. Damien just looked confused."What I'm trying to say is, her condition is stable , there are no bleeds or serious injuries. It just needs some stitches and she's good," The doctor told Damien."Thank you doctor," Damien thanked the doctor, feeling relieved that at least Lily won't die. He gave Alexia a tight smile.The other nurses wheeled Lily to the emergency Ward to stitch her injuries."Did any help you before coming here?" The doctor suddenly asked Damien.They were all standing in front of the emergency warc
They took him to their war room. A large space where his men used to rehearse. It wasn't standard to compare with the old man's training room for his men. He freed himself off the chain. He flexed and eased his muscles of every tension. He was excited and thrilled to beat some asses. His plan is going on just fine. The men came in whispering to each other. "What is going on?" "Why are we here?" "Is Damien being assassinated?" And a lot of side comments. Damien just stared with the most stoic face he could muster. "Damien Steel in here would challenge each of you one after the other, and the person that beats him up badly would be rewarded," The men cracked their necks and their knuckles. The first man came up, Damien practiced the four Taoist steps taught by the old man and the man came crashing on the floor with a huge thud. His leg was broken. The second came rolling a huge stick, Damien dodged the attacks. The man seemed a little bit rough and razzed in attacks. Damien di
He could not believe that his family would be betrayed by the baker's family. They were considered family to them.Mr C Cowell felt satisfied on seeing Damien's face, grinning like he had won a jackpot.Damien was mad with anger. Once could literally feel the heat of his anger from afar off. He overthrew the men holding him. He gave one a nose cracking blow and kicked the other on his balls.While they were still groaning he grabbed their hairs and smashed their heads off the wall. He gave them blows, slaps, kicks until they were both unconscious.He used the back of hand to wipe the blood off his mouth. He wasn't exhausted. Weeks of secret training and strategy, they are all coming into play.He walked towards Mr C Cowell with a death glare. Mr C. Cowell knew he was done for, there was no escape for him."Funny this world is filled with greedy betrayals like you and the other families huh?" Damien asked him sarcastically.Glaring at him eyes to eye."Back off psycho, one step closer
