Chapter Seventy-Four

There was shocked silence for some seconds as those words left Damien's mouth. All three of them were shocked.

Lana and Diego could not believe he'd actually apologized to her. This was not the Damien Romero they knew, and Lana did not know how to react to this new side of Damien.

She shifted uncomfortably on her feet, as he still held her firmly by the wrists.

Her bottom lip found its way between her teeth as a slight frown crossed her face. Her mind played back his exact words that he'd said to her a few minutes ago,

"I'm sorry, Lana! I don't know what came over me when I said those senseless words but I did not mean them. Believe me when I say, I don't think of you as a gold digger!"

"He did not think of me as a gold digger" she thought to herself, scoffing slightly, unsure if she should believe his words.

This was the same man who'd not wanted to be in the same breathing space with her five years ago. She knew it'd been wrong for his grandmother, Laura, to for

    Chapter Seventy-FiveIt was quite late in the night when the Benz finally pulled up at the Romero Villa. It was located in the heart of the city, and was a sight to behold.The driveway which led up to the house was dotted with beautiful lights and different varieties of flowers, which filled the entire area with their exotic and pleasing scents.The car stopped directly in front of the house, beside a small fountain. A statue in the figure of a baby angel with wings, stood on the raised platform, the flowing water pouring out of its upturned vase. The reflection of the moon and stars up ahead could be seen in the water and they shimmered, giving the water a sparkling surface.Before Damien could get out of the car and go round to help her, Lana was already outside the car, staring appreciatively at the building in front of her.His jaw clenched with irritation at this, but he quickly clamped down on it.At least, she was here with him. Lana had eventually agreed to stay at the Romero

    Chapter Seventy-SixLana's eyes flew open at the sound of Damien's voice behind her. Startled, she turned in the water to find him staring down at her.She blinked away her drowsiness and widened her eyes at him in shock. Lana became acutely aware of the state she was in and she swallowed hard in trepidation, desperately hoping that he would not be able to see anything through the water.But that might just be wishful thinking. The water was as clear as crystal."What the hell do you think you're doing?!" She gasped at him, taking care to make sure that her entire upper body was still submerged in water. Her cheeks became flamed with heat as her eyes flashed with anger, "Get out!"Damien made no move as though he did not hear what she said. He was leaning against the door, with arms crossed over his chest. He had taken off his tie and his white button down was opened at the throat, revealing his bronzed pecs underneath. He tilted his head and continued watching her, his eyes darkening

    Chapter Seventy-SevenDamien watched Yvette lead Lana up the stairs to her room, and let out a breath he did not know he had been holding. He still felt nervous, afraid that she'd still leave but then he hoped she got settled in and banish any thoughts of leaving from her head.He looked around and realized he was the only one still standing at the base of the staircase, watching Lana go up the stairs until she disappeared from his sight.The other maids had gone off into the house, one leading Diego to his own room.He was tempted to follow Yvette and Lana upstairs, to see how she'd like her room but he decided against it.That's enough clinging for the day.Instead, he walked over the room to sit on one of the two matching armchairs to wait for them to come back down. The two armchairs were facing a wall made of wall to ceiling windows. From the windows, it could be seen that the house overlooked a lake, although that was not very visible from the point where he was sitting. This w

Damien held her firmly to himself, until she was able to regain her footing. His eyes roved over her startled face, which was swiftly becoming red, due to the color flooding her cheeks.He arched an eyebrow at her, "Are you okay?" He asked, tentatively and Lana quickly nodded."I'm fine, thank you," she muttered breathlessly. She was suddenly aware of the fact that the only barrier between their bodies, was the thin towel which she'd wrapped around herself before leaving the bathroom.She bit her lips in regret and averted her gaze, "Shit, I should have just worn the bathrobe instead." She thought, then cleared her throat, tr

Anger coursed through her veins at his dominating tone, but she remained calm.She could feel the heat radiating from his body which was inches apart from hers. She felt trapped with her back up against the door and he, glaring down at her. She gritted her teeth in rage, blaming herself for coming with him to the Romero Villa in the first place.No wonder he dared to talk to her in that manner, all because she was in his house.But hold up...Lana's eyes flashed with realization as she suddenly remembered something.He had given her the house!That was the only reason she had agreed to come here in the first place. And now, he dared to order her around, in her own house?!This realization gave her the courage to glare up at him. She scoffed, a sly smirk on her lips, "An order?! Are you freaking kidding me?" She pushed herself away from the door, making him step back involuntarily.His eyes narrowed at her

She groaned loudly as she clutched her hair tightly, not minding the pain that zapped across her skull, as she pulled the hair from the roots."You tricked me and you'll pay for it!"Shame and embarrassment coursed through her as her earlier words flashed through her mind. How could she forget she'd not yet signed the papers that handed over the rights to the house to her?She'd mentioned it earlier, and he'd promised to get the papers ready when they got to the house.Lana groaned again , and thumped her head with her bunched fists. She'd been so sure that hed tricked her.No, She'd merely been blinded by her anger. Anger at him and at herself, for allowing her body react that way to him. She cringed at her uncultured behaivour, as she wondered how she was going to make remedies."Oh well," she mutte

She admonished herself, cringing internally as his eyes bored into hers intently, "you were supposed to just apologize and get this over with. What's with the clinging unto him?"Damien tilted his head, unsure of what he'd heard, "What did you say?" He asked tentatively. He wanted to hear the words from her mouth again. It was like music to his ears, but he did not quite understand why she'd say those words to him. What did she mean by, "please, don't go."Was she scared of the dark or was there something deeper than that going on here?He swallowed hard at that thought and watched her, staring at him with huge round eyes."What did you say, Lana?" He repeated softly and Lana started."Hmm...What? What did I say?" Lana repeated, giving him

Damien would never do such!"Rina was sitting across from Vera, wearing a tearful and dejected look. She was hunched in a sofa, looking miserable.She'd hurried over to Vera's mansion, as soon as she returned home and poured all her grievances on her ears, telling Vera of everything that happened that day in the office.Her eyes were puffed from too much crying and her nostrils red.Occasionally, she'd reach and wipe at her nose with a pice of tissue, which she yanked out of a tissue box by her side. But bitter tears still cascaded down her cheeks, glistening under the light of the chandelier which hung above them.She had been crying for two hours now, since she got back from work. She was tired, but she knew she can't stop now. She had to continue playing the victim fully before Vera, so she knew rhe severity of the case..Sh

The other employees in that office stood behind their desks, nervously clutching their hands and giving each other side looks.Their gazes flitted from the Regional Head to Noah and back to each other. The tension in the office was palpable and they could not wait to get past the suffocating mome

He said, a tiny smirk curving his lips, "You don't scare me and neither does he! I'm calling his bluff."Maya laughed in disbelief, then slowly blinked in confusion as Gary puffed out his chest, tucking his hands deep in his pockets.He was really serious!Her jaw twitching with anger, she jabbed a finger in his shoulder, "Don't say I did not warn you," she snarled, "I'd like to see you so smug when you're six feet under."She stormed off, and Gary watched her, his ey

These little details will be brought to light when the Regional Manager sets the auditing team to work."When I noticed a pattern of weight discrepancies as well as other inconsistencies in the record, I had to check for myself."

She cried out in agony, "Let me go. At once!""Not until you explain what you mean by that little statement which you just uttered," Gary fired back heatedly."I meant exactly what I said, you piece of trash, " Maya said as she mustered her energy and stomped on his toe with her heeled foot."Ahh!"

He let go of her hair at once and doubled over in pain, trying to hold his throbbing toe but it was much too painful.Maya, seeing as she was free from his hold, turned back and stared at him in disdain, "You think I won't take protective measures for myself?

The Regional Head repeated in puzzlement, "What could that be?"Maya's heart slammed in her chest as she heard Noah say those words.

They knew that, yet he was still asked to prepare the reports in such a short time.Although he did not have much chance of defending himself, since he was a lower level employee, yet the Regional head was known to be fair to others not on his level.He hated any sort of unfair practice and he would definitely side with Noah if he revealed he had been pressured into making the reports.Yet, Noah had come out boldly, as if he was ready to take the fall, the consequences of making such sloppy reports."He's done for," Greg sighed in despair, watching Noah with pitiful eyes."He really is just a golden haired dumbass," Jason agreed
