Damien's pov 

I pulled over in the driveway of my villa bug not without hitting away the trash can by the way. I tightened my hand on the steering wheel, recalling what had happened at the police station. 

How could she do this to me? How was it so easy for Abigail to betray me this much? She decided on me, made me fall in love with her and in the end, hurt me so badly. 

I grunted and punched the steering wheel so hard that it horned. "Fuck you, Abigail!" I was going to make her pay in the worst way. She made me lose my child and betrayed me this much. She wouldn't go unpunished and I will make sure of it.

I will make Milkyne City a terrible place for her. She will surely come back with her knees on the floor. 

The knock on the car window brought back my attention to where I still was. I looked out and my rage went to a higher level, but I put my control to work. There was no need I be angry with Jenna anyway. She is the victim too.

I let out a deep breath and came out of the car. "Damien, are you alright? I heard the chaos happening here and had to run out. Are you hurt?"

"Jenna, I just need some rest. Stop pestering me with so many questions." I pleaded, making my way to the building.

"I have to ask. I am worried about you. You drove in as if you wanted to pull down the building and then, you honked so loud. What is the problem?"

I abruptly turned and faced her, holding up my hand. "I need some quiet, please Jenna. Let me be on peace."

"Peace? You haven't said anything to me since I came back. You haven't asked how I am faring or what happened to me. You have been so quiet and turning away from me like I was some plague that should be avoided."

"There is so much going on right now, Jenna and you are the least of my worries."

"Least of your worry? I was kidnapped and I lost my child all because of that stupid girl, Abigail."

"Don't you dare call her name again!" I snapped, letting go of the rage I tried to keep in. I had lost that control and couldn't help raising my voice at her. I watched as she moved back, trying to prevent me from letting out my rage on her. I don't plan to and will never do that. I just needed something or someone to help calm me down and Jenna wasn't helping.

"It's all because of her, right? You are so angry because of her?"

Not eating to listen to any more nag, I walked away, completely ignoring her. I know I was being harsh on her but he shouldn't have pestered me so much. 

I walked back in and met Mother and Rose, seated in the living room both holding their glasses of wine. 

"You are here, Damien."

I rolled my eyes and made to leave but halted when I heard a whisper. "Finally, we have gotten rid of that girl. I thought she wouldn't leave. She was a pain in the neck." Mother whispered to Rose, who laughed but quickly covered her mouth. 

She nudged Mother to inform her I was staring at them and the two immediately kept quiet.

"Can no one talk about her again in this house? I don't want to hear it anymore?"

"Why?" Rose inquired and crossed her legs. "Shouldn't you be the most happy one making us? I mean, you have always hated her and were trying to look for Jenna. Jenna is back now and Abigail is gone. Doesn't it call for a celebration?"

"Rose is right." Mother stood up with a glass of wine and got to me. "You should join us. We've gotten the victory we have always wanted which includes a contract with the Conner's Empire." He informed with a huge grin playing across her face.

A contract with the Conner's Empire? They got my attention. I drew my brows together and climbed down the stairs. "A contract with the Conner's Empire? What do you mean? When did it happen?"

She laughed and patted my shoulder, "Ever since That bad luck left our house, things seem to be falling into place. With the Conner's Empire by our side, we will be able to pay our debts and become inevitable."

My coming has been facing so many backdowns and I feared its ruination would come sooner than later. The Conner's Empire was our only hope of redemption as a partnership with them would mean the debts getting paid for. 

Mother brought out her phone and showed me an email message. It was a confirmation of their plans to give my company a try. It was so unbelievable that I couldn't contain the happiness surging through me. Finally, I needed to calm down, and for that moment, I forgot about what happened at the police station. 

"Things are finally walking in our favor. Everything is coming into place and soon you will get married to Jenna and live the life you have always wanted." She further announced but I ignored them, only focused on the contract being accepted by the conglomerate. 

I was still living over the moon when a new message came into my mother's phone. She tapped on it and the smile she had on her face slowly faded, being replaced by surprise. 

"This can't be." She muttered ceiling up but whatever she was reading, wasn't good news. She finally lifted her gaze and shook her head. "Something happened?"

I collected the phone from her and went through the message, going almost through the same reaction as she did. My happiness was cut short just as it started. 

Was there a mistake made? It has to be a mistake. 

"What happened, Damien?" I heard Jenna ask.

I read through the message again, this time, taking in word by word, 'This is to inform you that your contract with the Connor Empire has been terminated.....' it wrote.
