“Work?” Audrey asked and her father nodded in response.“Oh, yeah.” She replied and chuckled.“I have been managing the one you got from Charles while your mother has been managing yours, so since you are here, you can go to yours tomorrow.” Her father explained and she nodded.“Yeah, of course.” She replied and continued eating.“I will brief you on how things are going.” Her mother added and she smiled at her.“Just a quick question, how many companies do I have here? I can't really recall them since I have a lot, you know.” She asked nervously and added a short laugh.“It's just three, you sent us a huge money at once to start one and that building is still under construction, then the one you got from Charles and the one you bought and changed the name to yours.” Her mother replied and she giggled.“Of course.” She laughed and gulped down a glass of water.‘Okay, Damien is so fucking weird. He claimed that he was threatening her parents but instead, he has been giving them the bes
“How are... “ She hurriedly ended the call with her heart racing, she closed her eyes and breathe heavily.How did he know that she is with Damien’s phone? What is going on? A part of Audrey expected him to call back but the other part didn't want him to, him being in her life is ruining things with Damien.Damien isn't a monster as she always thought he was, he has really helped her a lot and the least she can do is stay loyal to him, she shouldn't be falling for Derek’s tricks, at least not after what he did at the club days ago. She decided to forget about Derek and focus on work, in two days all of these will be over and Damien will be here to pick her up. Hopefully.They got to the company and Audrey got down, the guards escorted her in and the employees greeted her as she walk past them.She wondered how they knew her or probably because of the guards around her.They escorted her till she got to the last floor where her office was located, she smiled happily as she walked in,
Audrey hurriedly pulled away from the kiss and stood up, she moved away from him and Derek wondered if he did something wrong.“Hey, babe.” He called and stood up.“Stay away from me.” She snapped as he was about to move closer to her, guilt was eating her up and she felt like she was losing her mind. She can't be like this with Derek, not even after what Damien did for her and her family.Even though he abandoned her already, at least he gave her a good life, staying away from Derek is all he ever wanted from her and that is what she would do.“Audrey, what... ““You need to leave Derek.” She cut him off and turned to him maintaining a stern look, he stared at her for a few seconds before chuckling.“You are kicking me out? You don't even want me to leave.” He said and moved closer to her but she moved away.“Can you please just go? I don't want to see you anymore.” She said trying her best to not fall for his charms again.“Why? Is it because of Damien?” He scoffed and Audrey sighed
Audrey stared at him and she sighed, she wasn't sure if she should be happy or sad about his confession, all she wants him to do is just give her a reason and apologize sincerely. Now that he has given her a good reason, all she needs is his sincere apology.“Apologize Damien, apologize for lying to me and leaving me.”“I am sorry, I know I fucked up and I hurt you. I am so sorry.” He apologized and she nodded, she slowly smiled at him and hugged him again.“I thought you were never coming back.” She sighed in his arms and he chuckled.“Sorry.” He muttered and kissed her hair. “Are we leaving for Salado now?” She asked as she pulled away from the hug and Damien nodded in response.“Oh, okay, I will call my parents and come up with something.”“You don't need to, the guards already told them you need to leave urgently and they got your bags already, you can call them later if you wish.” “But my mum called me minutes ago, I guess she wanted to be sure if I was truly leaving.”“Yeah, m
Damien stood up and walked away leaving her in shock, Audrey trembled in fear and Clyde sighed, she realized her mother already ended the call and she dropped the phone.Tears streamed down her eyes and she whimpered, someone died because of her, an innocent person died because of her.“He warned you though.” Clyde shrugged as he continued with his meal.Audrey didn't say a word, all she did was cry, she started to cry out loud and Clyde rolled his eyes.“Will you stop that?” Clyde snapped at her and she flinched, she looked at him surprised and he huffed.“Look, I like you and all but you are starting to mess up. You have just one thing to do, stay away from Derek but anytime he comes back to you, you end yo kissing him. Do you think Damien doesn't know? The night of the theft too?” Clyde asked and her eyes widen in shock. “Yes, he knows. Stop being this way, Damiem likes you so much, don't ruin it because you can't control yourself, you are so lucky you pulled away from him and cha
“It's nothing you have to worry about, never mind.” He replied and stroked her hair, Audrey groaned and frowned.“I deserve to know, at least tell me what your relationship is with him.”“I don't want to talk about it.” He said and kissed her, Audrey kissed him back and he chuckled as he pulled away.“Let’s go out.” He muttered and stood up, he pulled her up and she giggled.“Where?” She asked and he shook his head.“I am not telling you, go get dressed.” Audrey smiled and walked out of his room, she walked into hers and headed to her closet.She thought about what to wear and she finally settled for a jean and a crop top with white sneakers, she got dressed in them and stared at her hair in the mirror.‘Should she go to Damien?’ She thought and bit her lip, her door opened and Damien walked in dressed in casual wear, not a tuxedo this time.“Hey.” He called and walked to her, he ruffled her hair and she giggled.“Sit.” He ordered and she sat in front of the mirror, Damien picked up
“What? I don't want to die!” She yelled as she drove.“Then keep driving and try to keep your head down.” “Damien, I’m scared.”“You shouldn't be, this is normal.” He replied Damien corked the gun, he pressed a button in the car and the rooftop opened.“Why are you opening the roof? They are going to kill us faster.” Audrey yelled as Damien got in the back seat.“Yes but just keep your head down a bit.” Damien replied and shot at the van, he shot their tyres and the van hit a streetlight. “Okay, the van is down, it's just... “ Damien trailed off and groaned in pain as a bullet hit his arm, Audrey screamed as he lay on the seat and they shot at them.She drove faster and Damien sat up.“Are you okay?” “Yes, I’m okay.” Damien replied and turned to the two cars left, he shot at them and they also shot back, luckily they missed this time. He shot the headlights of one of the cars and it suddenly flipped, Audrey screamed in fear as she watched the car flip through the mirror.“It's jus
“That’s bad Damien.” “That is how to survive Audrey.”“But you killed your uncle, your family must have... ““No one knows, just Clyde and you now.” He scoffed and glanced at his injured arm.“So killing that boy was right?” She asked and he nodded in response.“He shot at us with the intention of killing us, he deserves it.” “Okay.” She sighed and relaxed in the chair, Clyde walked back into the room and smiled at them.“Hey, are you okay?” He asked Audrey and she nodded in response.“I thought I would die.” “Oh, what happen to you guys was completely normal, it happens to us all the time.” Clyde shrugged and Audrey rolled her eyes.“I told her, she is overreacting.” Damien scoffed and Audrey gasped dramatically as she turned to him.“Oh my God, I am overreacting? How dare you say I am overreacting?” She yelled at Damien and he flinched.“Audrey.” Clyde called and she turned to him with a glare.“My bad, sorry, carry on.” He said and she turned back to Damien.“We got shot at in a
