LOGINIf Damien loses this case, his career is over!You've ruined his life, and all his mistake was just loving you!He is not what you're accusing him of, and you know it!Isla turned her head to her left and right on her pillow, her face twisting as she struggled to sleep. Amanda's voice kept ringing in her head over and over again like a cruel echo, worsening her headache. When she couldn't take it anymore, she jolted awake, sitting up on her bed and panting.By her side, Gareth was nowhere to be found. In the past, she would have felt an empty ache in her chest, but all she felt now was relief. She got off the bed, then checked the time on the wall clock. It was just 4 a.m. She sighed and shook her head. She had slept late, by 2:30, and all she had since then were nightmares. In fact, these past days had been nothing but a nightmare. If not for makeup, everyone would have noticed the dark circles under her eyes.She bent over the bed and pulled out a dusty folder. Ever since she got th
The courtroom was too quiet; it was deafening. The sharp exchange of gazes between the seated opponents was sharp enough to cut a throat.The judge shuffled a paper that sounded like thunder, thanks to the silence of the room. He cleared his throat and hit the hammer on the table.“Attorney Reed and his client may begin,” the judge ordered.“Thank you, Judge,” Attorney Reed started, standing up. “My client, Mr. Damien Da Silva, the CEO of Blue Flame Stones, was once a collaborator with the CEO of Khan’s Empire. They worked on a project called The Blue Empire, as stated in the file,” Reed explained to the judge.“My client and Khan’s Empire came to an agreement on the shares for both parties. The receipts are attached in the file as evidence,” Attorney Reed continued. “Now, Mrs. Isla Khan, the former CEO of Khan’s Empire, has accused Mr. Damien Da Silva of being a fraud publicly, causing a huge blow to his image.”The judge carefully went through the files.“Attorney Reed, thank you,”
A soft knock sounded on the door of Gareth’s office, and Ayden stepped in. He nodded at Isla, silently greeting her as she sat beside Gareth.“This just arrived for you,” he said, stretching the envelope toward Gareth. But Gareth tilted his head toward Isla, signaling Ayden to hand it to his wife.Ayden obeyed and passed the envelope to Isla. The return address read “From the Blue Flame Stones.” Isla blinked once and carefully opened the envelope, revealing a formal letter.“CEO of The Blue Flame Stones, Damien Da Silva, has filed a five-billion-dollar defamation and business libel lawsuit against the Khan Empire,” the news report began, and once again, social media erupted.“Damien Da Silva claims the Khans slandered him, firing back with a five-billion-dollar lawsuit.”“Did the Khan Empire really slander the CEO of Blue Flame Stones, or is the company just being dramatic?”Headlines were already flooding the internet in the blink of an eye.“That bastard,” Gareth muttered, shaking h
Is Damien Da Silva a Fraud?Hot topic for today: The Blue Flame Stone was one of the best companies that produced different luxury stones. They found rare stones better than diamonds, sapphires, opals, and onyx, but no one ever knew their source. Now that CEO Damien is being exposed for fraud and abruptly dropped by the Khans, could it be that his mining sites and collections were fake?Awful comments were left under the post. The internet had already given him a nickname.“Scamien Da Silva,” a user commented.“The Blue Flame Stone (wrong). The Fake Stone King (right),” someone else wrote.“I’ve been following the Khans for years, and they don’t make irrational decisions for no reason. I’ve always had a strong feeling about the Blue Flame Stones. From being extremely private to suddenly coming out and taking the top spot as the world’s biggest mining company, it never sat right with me. I can't wait to uncover more of his deceit,” another user commented.“He seriously made us believe
A black Lexus sped down the highway along with other cars. The vehicle rolled to a stop in front of a metallic building, and the door opened for a pair of solid Tom Ford shoes to step down, followed by straight dark suit pants, a white shirt free of about three buttons, and no tie, exposing a little of his hard chest.Damien shut his car door, looking directly at the building before bracing himself and walking in. Almost all the employees were dressed in black; you could barely see their faces through their dark shades or high face caps. Damien followed the two men who had called him earlier. They stopped at an elevator and pressed the last floor, but instead of going up, the elevator went down inside.Anyone who wasn’t new to this movement wouldn’t have screamed their lungs out, but for Damien and the other two men, they were so casual. They finally arrived at the last floor, and as the upper floors looked metallic and dark, this one looked even worse. You could barely see a thing if
Ding dong.The sound of the doorbell echoed around the decorated room. Joel, wearing a triangle-shaped plastic birthday hat, jumped down from the stool he sat on and moved his tiny feet towards the door. As the door opened, the big bright beam on the little boy’s face slowly drifted into disappointment.“Happy birthday, Joel. I’m happy to see you too,” Hugo said, stretching a wrapped box towards his face.“Who cares? You’re not Mr Hero Man!” Joel scoffed and stomped back to his chair.“That’s very rude, Jo. When someone gives you a gift, you say thank you and accept it,” Amanda said as she walked past Joel to Hugo.She flashed him a light smile as she accepted the gift on Joel’s behalf. “Thank you, Hugo. Joel appreciates this, he just doesn’t know how to say it.”“It’s okay,” Hugo kindly dismissed earlier.The doorbell rang again, and Joel jumped from his chair. This time around, he wasn’t disappointed. Damien stood tall at the doorstep with his hands behind his back.“Mr Hero Man!!!”
