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 would have not let her go.
"Um Alexia, I'll call you later I have an issue on ground you can get going now," he said quickly.
"I can be of help Mr Steel, just tell me what's wrong,"
"My wife had been involved in an accident, and she is till fucking there!! Bleeding to death.," he said, almost pulling his hair out.
Alexia's eyes opened in shock.
"Let's go, no time to sit around. "
Damien led her out of the office and the mansion to a car packed in the garage. He couldn't overcome the guilt he felt right now, he would have followed her.
"Mr Steel, you can't drive like this. Sit down. I'll take the wheels," Alexia sort of ordered.
Damien has no time to resist. He was torn. He let his family down and now he couldn't even protect his wife.
He sat at the back seat, praying that she would be fine. He watched as Alexia Maneuvered the car on the car.
She had superb skills. She drives with amounts of expertise.
Getting to the accident scene, Damien jumped out. It was truly a drastic one.
The car was turned upside down and the doors were all opened, which might have allowed the victims to escape the accident.
He thought wrong, because not quite long
he saw a man's corpse on the Lilyow, he must have bled to death. Where is Lily, where is she?
"Where is she?!!!!" Damieb growled at the officers.
"In the car?" The officer replied.
"And you are fucking here, and a person is at the verge of losing her life," Damien shoved him real hard that he fell down with a huge this.
He tried entering the car but it was impossible. He saw her. He saw Lily. Her eyes shut tight, her dress drenched in blood. She was hanging upside down.
His tears were falling now, he couldn't leave them anymore.
"Let me help," Alexia went to the other side, opened the car door and started bringing Lily out.
Damien hastily went to carry her, he took her and ran to the car. She was bleeding badly and he didn't have any equipment to save her.
The only option he had was to run to the hospital.
With that he and Alexia were gone. Alexia drove at full speed. She understood how Mr, Steel felt and she could not make the mistake she made before.
Getting to the hospital. Adjusting Lily's body in the back seat with his steadying him, he tore his shirt and tried blocking the Lilyow of blood from her forehead but he couldn't.
The blood soaked the shirt and was pouring off.
"Just keep her stable we are almost there,"
He could just nod. He couldn't bring himself to say anything. Lily's face shut him up.
He shouldn't have let her go.
They got to the crossway and met a doom.
Guardians were everywhere, he didn't know where they were from, but they looked ruthless.
Alexia horned again, so they could move. They made no move. Damien was getting irritated and angry.
Alexia went down, he saw her shouting at them but they paid no need to her.
"Clear our way now, Mr. Steel's wife is badly injured we have to reach hospital quickly." She said in one breath and tried to get out them from their way.
But they were thick fat skin people who weren't affected by Lily's injury. They didn't moved a inch from their place.
"We don't give a damn if she dies away." One of the men snorts.
Alexia clenched her teeth and wanted to punch that man. But she dont want to things to be turned worst.
"Mr Steel they are not turning up," She said as she came back.
He didn't say anything. He used the seat belt to hold Lily's body to the seat.
"Take her to the hospital, I'll come after you."
When the guardians noticed Damien, to walk out of the car. Some men walked towards the car moving, they tried to stop the car but it did not work because Alexia Maneuvered through them.
They attacked Damien.
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
Lily's mouth was agape. She couldn't believe her ears. Damien had fooled her. He had taken advantage of her broken state and used her the way he wants. He made her believe he loved her and wanted to take care of her. Everything had been a lie. Damien's recovery from the sickness was all a lie. Tears stung in her eyes, the evidence was clear now. She let the tears out. She wanted to scream out loud. "Lily, who helped you remove your scars?" Her mother asked suddenly. With her eyes shut tight, she answered. "I thought it was Damien, but it had been Xavier all along." She said. It took all the self control in her not to break down. She didn't want Damien to see her weak and broken. All her sympathy and care for Damien were all gone and replaced with anger and disappointment. Everywhere was silent. The information they just heard from the nurse were digested in different forms for the different people in the room. Lily made up her mind. She was done with him and his sorry ass, sh
Damien was livid with anger as he left the room. His hair was dishevelled due to pulling. "Damien, Damien" Alexia called waving frantically from the back. Damien stopped on his tracks, as he turned to her. "Hey, okay?" Alexia asked. "I don't know, honestly. I don't know how I feel or what to feel." He told her. Alexia felt for him, she didn't know how to comfort him, or a plan to act. But they have to act fast, before the situation gets out of hand. Yes! She had the perfect idea! "You need to see him, now!" She told Damien with all seriousness. "Uh, how would that help the current situation?" "He started this with you, he would have the perfect idea or solution to the problem " "I don't want to be a liability to him, I mean he is still undergoing treatment," "Says who, don't judge from afar. Go!" She shooed him away. Damien left, but not before giving her a signal to watch over Lily. He sped to James Hopkins hospital. When he entered the hospital everyone was astonished to
