9PM

Damian drove around the metropolis, his eyes fixed on the phone in front of him. This was not part of the plan but he was willing to do some preliminary work before the game started. The map on the phone directed him and he followed suit.

After a few minutes, he arrived at his destination. He looked around and as expected, the place was desolate. Of course it would be, it was the road leading to Arthur's estate. The old geezer would ensure that everywhere was secured. Damian could bet that security personnel and hunks lined the road leading to the gate and also lined the road leading to the main estate.

He did not blame the magnate, he had a treasure in his hands. Even he, was a treasure that needed protection.

Damian was dressed like an assassin, black boots and gloves, black face cap to conceal his identity, black shirt and a black cargo trouser neatly tucked in the boots. He plugged in his earplugs, and connected to a spy that he had planted in the house. Following direc

  • High stakes payback: Ex wife becomes a CEO   Chapter Twenty Seven

    Time stood still as Damian gazed at his ex wife. She looked astonishingly beautiful, like a goddess from the past. Her hair fell to her waist, and he could tell that it was well taken care of considering how sheen it looked. Her face was the prettiest he had seen in a long while, lips remained as cherry as they were when she was in his house, and her nose-though in the air, was a lucky one. He remained rooted to the spot just the way she froze in her stance. He wanted to be close to her, to beg for forgiveness and wait for his punishment. He wanted her to stab him wherever she desired, to slap and punch him till he was beaten to a pulp, he wanted her to yell at him and fall into his arms. But was that ever going to happen? The look of surprise on Olivia's face slowly morphed into something unreadable, and then, it turned into a controlled rage. She was boiling in anger and he could see it, her eyes which were white and glassy had turned into the color of her lips. He could imagine

    Lance. It must be him. He probably knew that she was here with Darian. Hell, he knew from the start that she accepted Olivia's offer to work at Arthur's group. He most probably also knew that she slept in the Arthur's estate the night before. Rosie felt her blood freeze with fright. Cold chills ran through her as she thought back to the fire outage in Darian's room. Could he be the perpetrator of the havoc in room 124? Rosie slowly turned to Darian, who had a questioning look on his face. He had seen her turn pale with terror the moment she stared at her phone. He could see the way she gripped the phone, so much that the whites of her knuckles became evident, and he didn't have to wonder for long. Something was definitely wrong, and he wasn't going to ask her. People like her hid things the most, they would bear all their brunt while wallowing in misery... Just like he did from childhood. He cared about Rosie too much to allow that to happen, or maybe he doesn't. "What's the

    Darian stared down at a petrified looking Rosie Adams. Her lips were slightly opened, and her chest rose and fell with each breath she took. He shut his eyes and released a soft sigh that depicted frustration. "What..." She opened her mouth to speak but was interrupted by Darian. "There was a fire outage in my room. It's late and I can't go about looking for a place to spend the night." 'And you decided to come here?' the little voice in her head asked in incredulity. Rosie did all she could to stop the chuckle that threatened to escape her mouth. Nah, she can't laugh. She needed to be sympathetic. That was the word for it. They held gazes, each one expecting the other to suggest him sleeping over in her room. "Sorry, but you can't sleep here if that's what you want." Rosie's curt voice broke the tension hanging in the hair, right before she slammed the door in his face. She stalked back to her bed and gingerly sat on it, tucking a stray red hair to the back and wondering what

    Damian took a few bold steps closer to his mother, and she instinctively moved back, wondering what went on in his mind. What has come over her son? Where was the boy she nurtured from birth, groomed to be able to fit into the Brown's family? How did he get out of her hold without her realizing it? What has that insolent Olivia witch done to her precious boy? Cecilia looked up at his towering figure, and she saw it. No trace of emotion, just a bland face that connoted shame and disappointment. He was ashamed to call her his mother. Instead of feeling remorse, Cecilia's zeal was reinforced. Her son deserves nothing but the best, and Laurie was the best! "Don't you dare look at me in such a condescending manner, boy. I birthed you, groomed you to be the perfect business man that you are today and-" "Perfect, huh?" Damian chirped in, a brow raising in search for a valid answer to his question. "You actually did groom me to be the perfect business man, and you," He pointed at her "De

    NEXT MORNINGOlivia's mouth was set in a tight line as she remained seated stoically on her executive seat. She was facing a number of 23 executives and Amelia Cobbs, the blonde haired auditing assistant, an intern who luckily got into the organization, was standing in front of the dogged Board of Executives. Everyone dreaded having to stand in the presence of the board for one mistake or the other, as they would be meticulously scrutinized. The slightest idea that a worker is guilty as charged is all Ivan Arthur needed to put the worker in their place. He was absent today, since he just got back from a trip. Olivia commanded silence and the hall that was earlier dominated by hush voices that suggested rebuke and disgust became as quiet as a graveyard. "Amelia Cobbs, did you mess with Miss Rosie Adams' tires in the basement yesterday?" "No, I didn't." Amelia curtly replied, keeping a straight face on. Anyone could have thought she was innocent unless they looked behind her, wh
