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

    Chapter Seventy-ThreeLana was not fazed by the way Damien stormed towards her like an angry bull. 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

    Chapter Seventy-FourThere 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

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 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

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?

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?"

Fred asked as he stepped closer to the Regional Head."But that's inpossible," Gary uttered through gritted teeth, "He has no qualifications.

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

Gary screamed as he flung all the reports to the ground in one swift move of fury.Noah bounded to his feet in anger, "Gary!" He yelled, "Enough of this!"Gary was stunned but in the next minute he burst into a ridiculous laughter at Noah's audacity. "Look at him," he laughed, pointing at Noah's enraged face, "he's yelling at me! 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.
