Damien

It took me an hour to pack everything up. Loading everything into my car, I picked up a sleeping Ryan in my arms and strode out of my home for an indefinite period. With Sebastián Welch involved, I wasn’t risking our lives here.

After an hour, I was on my way to New York City. Alex had already offered me a place to hide for the next few months. It was the apartment opposite his, and I readily agreed. With a reliable security system, it was the ideal place for Ryan and me. With Serenity

  • A Deal With The Devil   Book 4: Chapter Forty-Seven – Damien Again?

    Elena“Sleeping in class, Lena?” Damien’s presence beside me caused goosebumps to erupt on my skin. Why did he use that nickname if he hated me so much?My heart thumped wildly as I raised my head slowly to look at him. It wasn’t a prank or a hallucination. Damien Sylvester was really here right beside me. What was he doing here? Did Alex give me away? Mad fury coursed through my body. I remembered every word he had hurled at me that night. “Fu*k off. It’s none of your business.”His unwavering gaze held me captive. “It is my business. I’ll always be concerned about my classmate.”I trembled, furious at his fake show of concern. “There are twenty-five others. Why don’t you check on them? I don’t need your fake concern.”Liz sat like a statue, embarrassed to witness our verbal battle.“I’m heading to the cafeteria. All yours.” She rose and grinned at Damien, vacating her chair for him.“Thanks!” Damien gave her a mock salute and occupied the chair she vacated.“Treat me, dude!” She wav

    Elena“Are you free after classes today?” Liz joined me the moment I stepped into the classroom.“No, I have a duty at the admin office. Why?” I walked towards a vacant seat.“I wanted to hang out with you at the mall. I have a few things to buy for my cousin’s wedding.” Liz grinned, slumping into the adjacent seat.“I can join you only after my duty hours. Maybe at 6?”She groaned and nodded. “Fine. Why do you work so hard when money isn’t an issue with you?”I didn’t answer her. Money was definitely not an issue with me. My family sponsored my education, my stay, and all my expenses. My bank account had more than I needed after my stint at the office in the last two months.But I needed to keep myself occupied. And the only way was to work my ass off. At least I wouldn’t have to face my demons at night. I would be so exhausted that I would drop off to sleep. It was a tried and tested method that worked for all broken people like me.But not for me, maybe. Despite being busy, I could

  • A Deal With The Devil   Book 4: Chapter Forty-Five – Why Rochester? 

    Damien“Why? Shouldn’t you have asked me at least? I wasn’t thinking of going back to Rochester with Ryan.” I felt upset with Alex. He should have consulted me before taking admission into Rochester University again for me. I was planning on introducing Ryan to my family and moving in with them. I would have joined the family business and pursued an MBA at the same time. But now, all my plans were destroyed. My hopes were dashed. “Not with Ryan. You’ll go to Rochester alone to get yourself educated. Ryan can stay with us in the meantime. It’s sorted, Damien. Don’t be an ass.” The signal changed, and he drove on. “What’s sorted? I’m not leaving Ryan here and going away to Rochester.” He grunted with annoyance. “I’ve paid the full amount, man. There’s no way I’ll let you drop out. You will go, and that’s final.” We fought like cats and dogs all the way to his house. I didn’t want to, but Alex left me with no choice. He was the most stubborn guy on Earth! But why he was hell-bent on

  • A Deal With The Devil   Book 4: Chapter Forty-Four - Everly’s Revenge

    DamienAfter Alex left, I couldn’t relax. The news of Everly and Sebastián’s arrival in New York City had me worried. Why were they here? Did they follow me here? I repented not having listened to Alex’s warning earlier. Now, how would I save Ryan? I was protected in this facility. But Ryan wasn’t. How would Alex protect Ryan if they attacked him? The thought had me so agitated that the nurse was worried about another attack. “Please discharge me, or I’ll go crazy here. My son’s life is under threat.” But she turned a deaf ear to my pleading. “Doctor won’t release you for a week, Mr. Sylvester. If you don’t keep calm, your reports will show. Then the discharge date will be postponed further.”I felt helpless. With no news from the police, I felt even more agitated as the day progressed. Dominic arrived in the evening. He wasn’t happy with my lack of progress. “What are you doing, Damien? They won’t release you if you get worked up all the time.” I sighed, unable to tell him the ac

  • A Deal With The Devil   Book 4: Chapter Forty-Three – My Mom’s Forgiveness 

    Damien“It’s fine, Doctor. I’m his mother. Can I talk to my son alone for a few minutes? I can handle this.” Mom sat beside me and stroked my head lovingly. “He needs medical intervention, ma’am. Acute and prolonged PTSD can be fatal if left untreated.” “Five minutes is all I ask for. I’ll call for help if things get out of hand. Please?” I watched her in a dazed state. Did she know about my condition? Did she know what had caused it? I tried hard to breathe, to keep myself from losing my mind. I would have to face her now. There was no escape this time. “Fine, five minutes is all you have with the patient before we step in.” They left my room, leaving me alone with Mom. She turned towards me, her eyes brimming with love. “I love you, Damien. You know that. I can’t see you this way, sweetheart. For the last fifteen years, you’ve been avoiding me, Dominic, and your home. I tried to give you time and space. But things have gone too far this time. I can’t afford to lose you, son.”

  • A Deal With The Devil   Book 4: Chapter Forty-Two – Back To The Rehab

    Damien “Shit! That was a narrow escape, Alex. I’m sure it wasn’t an ordinary fire. It was Everly and her new benefactor, Sebastián Welch’s, handiwork. I was expecting her to attack us.” My heart sank as I considered other ways she could harm us. Nothing was impossible for Welch. His reach was wide. “Welch? Do you mean the illegal arms dealer who has escaped the law for the last five years?” Alex’s eyes widened in horror. “Yes, the same. He seems to be obsessed with Everly these days. He was the one who rescued her from police custody.” Alec sighed and handed me my phone. “There are missed calls from the police and also a few from Everly herself. I didn’t want you to get worked up.” I was too stressed to check. If I did, my stress levels would rise again. Yet I couldn’t control myself. I had to know if Elena had contacted me even once. However, my heart sank with disappointment to see no messages or calls from her. Why would she reach out to me after I pushed her away? “You shou
