The next day, Sasha packed her bags and headed home, her mind still racing with thoughts of what could be wrong. She had always spoken to her mum and she had always sounded happy, but last night's phone call had been different. Her mum's voice was low and sounded empty and she could tell something was off. She tried to push the thoughts aside and focus on the excitement of seeing her parents. As she unlocked the gate to the house. She called out. "Mum! Dad! I'm home!" She checked the living room, expecting to see her parents waiting for her, but they weren't there. "We're at the dining table." Her mum called out. Sasha smiled and dropped her bag, running to the dining room to hug her mum, who smiled back at her. "Hey, dad." She said, going over to her dad, kissing him on the cheek. "I've missed you guys so much." "We missed you more, pumpkin." Her dad said, smiling, but it didn't reach his eyes. The food on the table looked delicious and her stomach growled with hunger. "The foo
Sasha sat on the floor, crying uncontrollably. "Why did I have to confess my feelings to Damson yesterday?" She lamented. It was as if fate was playing a cruel joke on her. Why was it the same day she confessed her feelings to Damson was when she heard she was getting married to a man old enough to be her father. The thought of it made her cry harder.Damson called her over and over again, but she ignored his calls. She couldn't just bring herself to have a conversation with him at the moment. When Damson realized she wasn't picking, he sent her a text. "Hey, Sasha, you're probably asleep, but if you don't mind, can we meet tomorrow and talk about what happened yesterday? Sleep tight." Sasha read the messages over and over, each time feeling a fresh wave of sadness wash over her. She couldn't meet Damson, not now. She couldn't face him. She switched off her phone, and threw it aside and dragged herself to bed, curling up into a ball and crying herself to sleep. Damson stood in fr
"I don't care how you got my address or what right you think you have to be here, but you need to leave right now, if you don't want problems for yourself!" Sasha said, angrily. Damson shook his head. "I'm not leaving Sasha. I'm here to talk about you, about us. You can talk to me about anything. I'm here for you, don't push me away. I know you're not happy."Sasha laughed loudly, a bitter sound. "Here for me? Who do you think you are? You think we have a connection because I said I liked you? Newsflash Damson, I wasn't thinking straight when I said that." "I was feeling sorry for you, that's all. I don't think I can sate or like someone with no prospect or future. We can never be together." "I only started talking to you out of pity. You have no friends and you have a very sad life. I was just doing you a favor. Don't tell me you've gotten attached" She continued, folding her arms. Damson's face fell, but he refused to believe her words. "That's not true, Sasha. I know you're lyi
Damson left Sasha's house angrily. He was hurt by her words but he decided to overlook it as he had an important task at hand. He was glad to find out the name of the useless man that wants to marry Sasha and he will do anything to make sure the marriage doesn't hold. He couldn't imagine her spending the rest of her life unhappy. He could see the sadness in her eyes and it made his heart ache. His mind went to the things she said to him and he wished she never opened her mouth to say such things. He expected her to be the last person to utter such words. In the end, She wasn't so different from everyone else. He was disappointed, angry and hurt. He shook his head, trying not to think about it. He brought out his phone to call Luis. "Hello, young master." Luis greeted. "Have you heard of Mr Baron with the company name Baron industries?" He asked, going straight to the point. "Yes, young master. I know him." Luis replied. "Does he have any attachment to the company? Is he a partn
Damson sighed heavily as he sat on his chair. He wasn't expecting to see Caleb in the lobby. He shook his head as he remembered all the things Caleb said to him. He chuckled to himself. Little did Caleb know that the 'poor miserable Damson' is actually the president of the company and the one calling the shots. He smiled to himself and leaned back on his chair, waiting for Luis to show up. After some minutes of waiting, Luis knocked and came in. "I'm so sorry for what happened, young master. I should have come earlier, but I was stuck in traffic." He said, bowing his head. Damson brushed him off. "It's fine. How were you able to handle Caleb?" "I deceived him by collecting the proposal from him, telling him to come back and I'll check it out and make sure to hand it over to the president." Luis replied. Damson smiled to himself. "I like that. That was very smart of you. This is just the beginning, but Caleb would regret ever messing with me by the time I'm done with him. He doesn
Damson stood in front of Baron industries, it was a moderate looking building. Although it wasn't as big as Stellarcorp. He wondered how he knew nothing about Baron industries until Luis talked about it to him. Mr Baron probably didn't want many eyes on him so he tried to be discreet.,He walked into the lobby with Luis, approaching the receptionist who later referred them to the secretary of Mr Baron. A stern looking lady Damson could tell from a glance would be difficult to talk to. He cleared his throat, so she could know he was standing right in front of her. "Can I help you?" She asked, not bothering to look up from her computer, typing with her long nails that were painted red. Damson wondered how she was able to type with it. "My name is Damson Malcom and here with me is Luis Salvor." The secretary raised an eyebrow. "And who are you here for?" She asked, looking uninterested. "We're here to see Mr Baron. We heard he's willing to help businesses in need and I'm hoping to di
"Would you like a cup of coffee, tea or water." Mr Baron asked as he sat in front of Damson and Luis. "I can ask my secretary to give you anything you want. Just mention it.""Oh, we're fine, we don't need anything." Damson said. We're not going to be here for a long time. We're busy men and we need to get back to the company as soon as possible." "Ah, I see. You want us to quickly talk about the partnership and stamp the deal. I understand, I can't wait too." Baron said, laughing loudly. Damson and Luis also laughed, but theirs was fake. "It is a pleasure having people from the biggest company in the city here in my company. It is a big deal and I can't wait to boast around to my friends. I'm very excited and honored to have you here. I wasn't expecting it. You must think highly of my company and I'm happy you do." Damson laughed. "Our president sends his apologies. He said he's sorry he didn't consider your proposals and we hope you won't take revenge and reject ours this time.
Damson groaned loudly as he loosened his tie. He was exhausted and hadn't eaten all day. He was happy he was able to deal with the situation of Mr Baron and Sasha's father. He didn't want to imagine what would have happened if had waited longer.Sasha's father wouldn't have to depend on Mr Baron before his company would come back up. He already told Luis to send him an email, telling him Stellarcorp is willing to help him get his company back on its feet. He just had to sign some documents. He imagined how happy Sasha would be when she finds out she doesn't have to marry that old bastard but his smile falters whenever he remembers the things she said to him. He had been trying to take his mind off it, but it wasn't working. He didn't expect her to confess to him out of pity, he was excited for nothing. He leaned his head on the window and his stomach growled in hunger. , "Drive me to the nearest restaurant, I'd like to get something to eat. I'm starving." Damson told Luis who wa
