Chapter Sixty-Nine

As the Maybach rolled away from the restaurant with a satisfying purr, Lana let out the ragged breath she didn't know she was holding.

She leaned back on the leather seats and closed her eyes, inhaling deeply and exhaling slowly, but it did nothing to calm the inferno that was raging within her.

It was a mistake coming back here.

She should have thrown Lana's letter and parcel to the blazes, the minute she got them.

Her heart clenched with guilt as she thought of that, and she quickly shook her head to clear out the thoughts.

She laughed cynically as she leaned back with her eyes closed, resting her head on the headrest behind her. Laura had asked her to help and protect her grandson, but she'd sooner kill him than do any of that.

She could not believe that he still had such opinions of her. Worse, the fact that his words still hurt her this much was enough for Lana to punch the seats beside her in anger and disgust.

"Ugh...that crazy bastard! I swear to God, I'll

    Chapter SeventyZaire could barely control his anger as he watched Lana walk out of the restaurant with Damien.Who the hell did that bastard think he was? Storming in here and claiming his woman.His fingers bunched into fists at his side, as he muttered through gritted teeth, "And she went right out with him."This was the main reason why he'd not tried to stop her from leaving. She'd had no choice but to follow Damien but she did not try to stay either.The dark look Lana had given him before she left, had left him short of words but he knew he was to blame for that.He groaned silently, raking his hand through his hair in frustration. He knew he'd messed up big time, losing control like that and lashing out at her.He was very content with showing her the part of him that she was used to. He knew that way, he'd be able to get her eventually, one way or the other.But he'd slip up.And now a single mistake might upset every of the pieces which he'd been carefully putting in place

    Chapter Seventy-One"You've got to be freaking kidding me!""I beg your...pardon?"The receptionist looked stunned. Her brows were furrowed with puzzlement as she stared at Lana, and the smile on her face faltered. The gorgeous red-haired woman in front of her, placed her hand on the counter and closed her eyes, blowing out a breath in frustration. She looked like she was counting to one hundred, in order to calm down. The lobby of the hotel was filled with people and guests. Some were travellers, while some were business people and vacationers. True, it was that time of the year, where the city would be flooded with tourists, gushing over its beauty. Diego stood beside her, his shoulders slumped with exhaustion. His expression mirrored that of his mistress when he heard what the receptionist had said.When Lana spoke again, her voice was ragged and it sounded like her temper was hanging by a thread."So you're saying I can't book the penthouse?"The receptionist did a double take,

    Chapter Seventy-Two"What the hell do you think you're doing, Lana?!"Damien growled as he marched towards his ex-wife. Somewhere in his brain, common sense trashed about, trying to get ahold of him but he was too angry to listen to it.He knew he shouldn't sound so harsh.He wasn't supposed to sound harsh at all, but goddammit! , the woman was just too infuriating.After he'd driven off from the SK Restaurant earlier that afternoon, Damien had set to chase down Lana, but a call from his assistant Liam pulled him out of that decision."Sir, the investors from Mauritania is here." Liam had said as soon as he picked up the call, "When do you think you'll be able to make it?""Reschedule the meeting." came the terse reply from Damien. He was trying to focus on the road and also on his dashboard, where he could track the location of Lana's car on a panel there. Liam swore silently, rolling his eyes upward, "We can't reschedule the meeting. This people flew seventeen hours to get here tod

Neither did the anger in his eyes or his handsome face which was darkened by a huge frown."Welcome to the club, baby" she muttered under her breath, making sure her own expression matched his furious one.He had the audacity to be angry, after acting like a pest towards her for the whole day?!What a joke!She wrenched her eyes away from his as he approached, and made to brush past him towards the direction of her car.In an instant, Damien's hand shot out and gripped her arm, stopping her from moving further."Ow! Let go, you brute!" She yelled angrily, jerking back her arm furiously but Damien's grip was too tight.Damien leaned down so his face was in hers, "Do not walk out on me!" He said fiercely, his breath fanning her face, "I asked you a question!"Lana punched on his arm hand angrily, tears of anger shimmering in her eyes "Alright, I heard you! Just let go already!"Damien cont

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.

    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

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

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

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!" Gary cried out in anguish as pain exploded in his foot. 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?

Maya seemed to say with her eyes, glaring at Gary and making motions with her head towards Noah.She was so agitated that she could not stand still. She had been so eager to want to leave this place earlier but now she wouldn't leave for all the world.She had to stay to hear what Noah had to say to the Regional Head.Quick as flash, Gary stepped in between the Regional Head and Noah.Smiling nervously, he started speaking, "Regional Head sir, why don't you allow the Senior sales manager to take you to his office, while you wait for the reports on the audit?"

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

He yelled, "Enough of this!"Gary was stunned but in the next minute he burst into a ridiculous laughter at Noah's audacity.

Wow, you must have some guts now because of what you discovered, right?"At that moment, Noah leaned forward to say in his ears, "Yea, that's exactly what's up."As those words left Noah's lips, Gary froze on the spot.
