“Do you have a problem with that, young man?” Ivan raised a brow and leaned forward when Darian continue staring speechlessly at him “I’ll take your silence to mean a ‘Yes’,”

Darian snapped out of his state of shock and breathlessly replied “Why, Yes sir! I will be more than honored to work in your company, alongside Olivia.”

He could not explain the surreal feeling of happiness that laced his whole form as he clasped his hands together on the table, hope glimmering in his eyes.

Finally, someone saw through him and recognized his worth. He was flabbergasted that he did not have to go through any special processes before landing at the position. Darian knew damn well that the position that Ivan had mentioned was no joke. It was like placing him as the second in command after his niece, a feat that he has been unable to attain at his own family’s company.

“Talking of Olivia,” Ivan piped, stroking his chin masterfully. “You know very well what she has to endure in the ruthless hand

    She paused upon hearing her name and raised her head. "Sir...?" "There is... You're crying," Ivan's tone softened down a notch "Is anything the matter?" "I am?" She touched her cheek swiftly and felt the tear "Oh... It happens sometimes" "You just cry without reason?" Ivan frowned, a bit confused. "Y-yes sir," She admitted, embarrassment scarletting her tender features. "I can be quite sensitive, so the gust of air against my face may have initiated the tears." "Oh," Ivan nodded, trying to understand how the wind could make her cry. It was a chilly evening, but there was no unnecessary breeze. He stared at her in concern, that of a boss to his subordinate. "I'm done sir, I'll be off now." She told him, against the slight quivering of her lips. He nodded, still wondering what was going on. •~•~•~•~•~•~•~• Darian stared at his phone as it continually buzzed on the glass table in his room. It was Jenny, and she had been calling nonstop for the past twenty

  • High stakes payback: Ex wife becomes a CEO   Chapter Sixty

    Damian, who had been busy sipping wine like he had not just started a verbal war a while ago, suddenly stood up and walked off, not sparing a single glance at Stefan. He quietly opened the door to the restroom, and stepped inside. Unlike what he had envisaged, Olivia stood by the wall in the innermost part, and her clenched hand was on her chest, as though she was trying to calm herself down. Damian's hardened gaze instantly softened at her small vulnerable form. She was inhaling and exhaling softly, as if to steady her respiratory rate or something of that nature. He could see her pain through all that glam and softness reeling around her. He suddenly felt like he did not deserve to make her life harder than he had made it. He shouldn't be here, he shouldn't stand in her presence and cause more pain to her. His feet remained rooted to the ground, not moving towards her or away from her. He was still staring at her when he heard her voice, firm and stinging. "What are you doing

  • High stakes payback: Ex wife becomes a CEO   Chapter Fifty Nine

    Silence dominated the region again, everyone left to their thoughts. Olivia only blinked at her meal, abashed to lift her head and look at Stefan. She had not envisaged the evening to go in this manner, with Damian poke-nosing and exchanging words with him. She realized Damian's intentions, and a deadly smile cracked on her lip. It was all a game, and she would play accordingly. "Sorry, do we know you?" Stefan finally asked him, having stomached enough bullshit from the obstinate but powerful looking man almost seated next to Olivia. He should be angry, because he was finally having dinner with a lady he admires and Damian was trying to sabotage it, but he was not. He was calm and poised, knowing that nothing gets solved with anger. It only complicates matters. "We?" Damian spat as though it was a forbidden word "I guess you both are a 'thing' now?" "Prospective." Olivia muttered coolly and sipped her wine in the most satisfying way ever. "I normally don't do this but I'll advi

  • High stakes payback: Ex wife becomes a CEO   Chapter Fifty Eight

    As overwhelmed as Damian was with jealousy, he still managed to keep his expression on point. Bland, unreadable, indifferent. Like he was not watching Olivia laughing heartily with someone else. What had he said to her to make her laugh that much? Was he that funny? Damian almost scoffed at the thought of going to join them, maybe he could share in their joy. He felt a tick in his jaw as Laurie called his name. "Damian? What's the matter? You look lost," He forced a smile and that was when the waitress returned with their order, trays of meals on a fucking golden dumbwaiter. Holy shit, he could not let her offload them here. "Here are your orders, ma'am." "There's a problem with the chair I'm sitting on," Damian deadpanned, and Laurie turned to him in concern while the waitress started assessing it, scared that he may get angry and maybe, cost her job with it. She had heard of the legendary Damian Brown, the Ladies prince charming that was as sizzling hot as hell, but the rumo

    Damian straightened up, and shot a bland stare at Laurie. She then cleared her throat and stared at her phone, feigning shock. "Oh, I didn't realize that I was taking pictures all this while. Must be some glitch or something." "Just shut the fuck up," He muttered under his breath and glanced at Olivia one more time before looking away. Laurie did not hear him as she busied herself with the pictures, adoring each detail that carried Damian. He looked like he was in a photoshoot for some influential magazine cover. "Uhmm..." Laurie hummed, completely unaware of Damian's diverted attention. "Where should we sit?" She asked, looking up at him, undecided. "There." He gestured, tipping his face in the direction of a table. It was adjacent to Olivia's, a good spot where he could watch her from where he was without Laurie suspecting a thing. She could also see him from there. "Okay babe," Laurie responded, feeling fly at each passing minute. There was nothing more than having a goo

    As soon as the designated car drove into the venue of Olivia's date, Damian picked the telescope and leaned forward on the window of the dilapidated building that he was in. He had earlier ordered a telescope, knowing that he might be needing them for missions like this. He squinted his eyes, and finally could see as she came down from the car. She was as beautiful as a goddess. His heart thumped just as his jaw clenched. She probably threw in her best to look this good just over meals with Stefan? Is she attracted to him? The thumping increased so much that he could hear it. Who the fuck is this guy? The name was foreign, he had looked him up on getting home from the event and all indications pointed that he did business elsewhere, definitely not in Manhattan. So what brought him here? Damian's left eye twitched as he thought of Ivan and his profound hatred for him. Has he called in Stefan and his father so that they could give out Olivia in marriage to them? Damian could feel
