The billionaire's passion for revenge

　　PROLOGUE　　Twenty years ago.　　"Damien honey, go to the closet and stay there for a while, I'll come to get you out of there soon Ok?" said Lilith to her 10-year-old son.　　"No mum, I hate it there, you always make me do this. Please mum, don't make me go in there" he cried.　　Lilith was torn, she hated this also, but there was no way, absolutely no way she was going to do what she was about to do in front of her son.　　No! I will not think about him, Lilith shook her head and turned to her son at that moment with a stern look on her face.　　"Now listen to me, young man, don't make this harder for me, you will go into that closet, you will remain there and wait until I get you. Is that clear?"　　Lilith watched as her son shook his head in affirmation and headed towards the closet. Oh! How she hated it when she was this way with him, but then she was left with no choice.　　Damien could see his mother through the peephole of the closet. He watched as she went to open the door. There we

　　"You can run but you can't hide son," Mr Scarface said mockingly. Damien cursed under his breath as he approached him. "What do you want from me? Leave me alone, please " Damien said. He was scared to death but didn't want to show it. He clenched his fist ready to defend himself. Mr Scarface pointed the revolver towards him and said "Ladybird says Adios" he pulled the trigger and Damien fell flat to the ground.　　Damien jolted out of bed sweating profusely. He had had a nightmare. It wouldn't be the first time. Having nightmares were normal for him. It had been this way since the death of his mother.　　He sighed.　　He turned to check the time. It was past seven already. "I hate Mondays" he muttered as he sluggishly stepped out of his bedroom. He stopped at the kitchen for a glass of water and he noticed his housekeeper Mrs Harper was already there.　　"Good morning Damien" she greeted with a smile on her face.　　"Good Morning Mrs Harper, you're here early. How are you?" Damien asked　

　　Damien Reed stepped into the living room of his penthouse looking stressed. He just returned from a business meeting with a client, he saw these business meetings himself. Although he started his company as a one-man business, Steel Cedar Inc. has grown over the years and is recently the No 1 Architecture firm. His rival company Ross Empire which had always remained on the top chart was now No 2 and he wanted it to remain that way.　　It must remain that way, he thought grimly.　　He was never one to accept being second place, hence the hard work and efforts which has eventually paid off.　　After undressing himself, he proceeded to the bathroom for a soak in his bathtub. He felt his body relax as soon as he was in the tub and he left a sigh of relief.　　His mind flashed back to the package he had received at the office the previous day. Not like it was the first time he ever received a package, but it was his first time receiving a life-threatening package.　　The package had the image

　　Days ran into weeks and weeks into months. Life hasn't been pleasant for Annie but she continued to push. She was able to foot the bill for Angie's surgery and soon her sister would have her surgery, and everything will be fine.　　She missed her family a lot. She wished for a vacation so she could go visit them, but she had overheard a rumour from the employees that the CEO never allowed them to go on vacation, so she knew it wasn't going to be possible.　　"Douchebag!" she muttered under her breath and sighed. She had worked for him for about six months now, she had gotten used to him and his tantrums. His words meant nothing to her anymore.　　She thought back to those awful moments when he had humiliated and embarrassed her. Annie had learned to block out everything during those moments. She would just stand with her head bowed waiting for when he was done screaming and hurling insults at her and when he was done, he would ask her to leave his presence. But she was only human, wasn'

　　It was the beginning of a new week. Annie was full of life and super excited. Spending the weekend with her friend Naomi had been the best idea.　　Annie got to work earlier than usual. She had a full desk and needed to finish up before her boss arrived.　　She was working on a file her boss needed for a business deal with a potential client when her phone rang. She picked it up without checking who the caller was.　　” Hello”　　“Good morning. Am I speaking with Miss Anna Gilbert?” a female voice said.　　“This is Annie Gilbert” she corrected as she sighed. This wasn’t the first time someone referred to her as Anna.　　“How may I help you?” she added　　“I am Dr West’s Assistant and I’m calling on his behalf, your result is ready and the doctor will like to know if you can come down to the hospital to discuss things,” the voice said.　　Annie frowned as she wondered what could be the issue. Knowing her boss, she knew she wouldn’t be able to rush down to the hospital.　　“I don’t think I can
