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 particular lady that mixed this ointment. He remembered sitting down at the basement watching her move gracefully, mixing one chemical one after the other.
On Lily's part, she was so happy at the intimacy and close relationship she had built with Damien for the last one week. She never thought her and Damien would be this close.
Present time!
Damien was anxious as he went to her room. Would the ointment he applied for her take effect? Would it become worse?
Entering the room he saw Lily sitting on the bed waiting for him to remove the bandages. They would see the outcome of the ointment over the past one week.
As he removed the bandage layer upon layer he locked eyes with Lily all the time. All he saw was hope. She believed him, he wouldn't fail her.
The sight of her skin brought excitement to Lily. Her skin was brighter and smoother than before. All her scars were gone
She squealed loud and hugged Damien so tight, letting out a free laugh
Damien was shocked. He didn't expect it to work this perfectly. He smiled as he watched Lily dance around the room, happy and free.
Happy and free. That's what she was, that's what they were, and that's what he'll make sure they will be forever.
"Oh my God Damien!! This is exciting, I can finally go and see my parents," she blurted.
Damien's mood was suddenly soiled. He couldn't believe that after what happened between Lily and her parents she still wanted to go back to them.
Had she suffered enough disgrace, he wouldn't have let her go.
"No you can't go Lily, didn't you see the way you were kicked out? You want to go back to be a shameless and broken life"
Lily's excitement calmed down.
"Whatever they did was because of my skin and the way I looked, now I'm fine I am sure they would accept me back" She said proudly.
Naive and stupid! Damien thought. He loved Lily, but she was too naive.
"Like I said you are going nowhere Lily, freshen up. I'll make breakfast"
She grabbed his hand, with a pleading look in her eyes.
"I need to go Damien, I really need to see them. I need to explain things to them," She was crying now.
That was what did the trick, Damien never wanted to see Lily cry he pulled her up and cleaned her face.
"What about I go with you?"
"You saw the way my parents reacted to you the last time, I don't want you facing any sort of troubles." She said against her wish. She really wanted Damien to follow her back but she couldn't risk it. The chances were slim.
"I don't care about what they say, my priority is your safety and your well-being, pack up we would leave soon," with that he went to make breakfast for the both of them.
Lily just stared at the door where Daniel passed, she felt happy and worried at the same time. She couldn't place her hand on it, but something tragic would happen. She couldn't stop the feeling.

Damien prepared a lot. He prepared Bacon, pancakes, chicken and waLilyilyes. He served them all in the dining room.
Lily came down glowing and radiating beauty, Damien was happy for her. She was his glow.
"Damien! You didn't have to do all these," she said as she patted his back jokingly.
"Anything for my lady," he replied grinning.
They both laughed. And he wanted it to be like that for now. He wanted to forget and drop all the weights and everything off his mind and enjoy the moment.
"I can remember eating these the last time you made them at your house," Lily said, enjoying and moaning in delight as she ate.
Damien's mood changed. He had not gone to his house after that night. He couldn't bring himself to go there. Those memories were haunting.
Lily noticed his face fall and used are palm to wrap his fisted arms on the table.
"Hey, don't think of it, everything would be fine, I'm here for you always for you," She assured him as she smiled
Damien's ringtone cut them off. He looked at the caller's ID and was tense.
"I'm sorry I need to take this," he said and went out. Lily looked at him suspiciously. She was beginning to doubt if he was sick at all.

It was from a person in the old man organization.
"Hello Damien Steel, we have gotten the informations of the inLilyuential families that murdered your family,"
"That's nice, when can you come to see me,"
"Tomorrow "
"Settled, Adios."
He used force to get the information he wanted, now he had gotten it.
The trip with Lily can't work. He went back inside.
"What's the problem?" Lily asked if I saw his face.
"I can't follow you home, pack up the car that'll take you will be here any time from now," He dropped the bombshell.
Lily couldn't believe him.
"You are truly a psycho, Damien."
And with that she was off.
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
Mrs Elisa Turner went berserk when she heard that Lily was not dead. She wants Lily to be killed before Xavier gets her. She did not approve of the marriage between Lily and Xavier. It was bound to cause trouble and war if they get "How incompetent of you to spit this rubbish to me," She barked at the man that came to report to her."I'm sorry ma! I'm sorry ma!" He apologized hastily and quickly, his head touching her feet and raising it up again."Oh sorry?" She laughed. "Your sorry is useless the same way you are useless to me,"She slapped him. She was so angry."Why was it so hard to kill her, a lady with no superpowers is too hard for a full grown man to kill ?" She mocked the man."Damien saved her!" Those three words alone made Mrs Elisa Turner face the man with a questioning look on her face."Don't use a psycho to cover up for your weakness and incompetence!" She shut him up."Ma'am, Damien beat up all the expert martial artist you sent without losing more than a sweat.""Wh
Everywhere was pin drop silence. Xavier looked at Damien with wide eyes. Alexia and the doctor sat at a corner watching the scene unfold. Xavier slowly dropped Lily's arm he was caressing. Mr and Mrs Baker took steps backward, they were afraid that Damien was still a psycho and would hurt them. "Alexia what is going on?" He asked her as he came into the room. "Sir, this man here claimed to have saved Lily from death, after the accident and he wants to take her as his wife," Alexia told him. "Sir? Why are you referring to him that way,?" Xavier asked her, but she ignored him. Damien head almost snapped out. The anger in his eyes could melt any amount of ice. He glared at everyone, from the bodyguards to the, Doctor that came with Xavier, and then his eyes landed on Mr and Mrs Baker. "What are they doing here, why are you all here at the same time ?" Damien said loudky, slightly frustrated at everyone's silence. "Let me save you the stress, don't go any more psycho mode here," X
