Sitting behind the mahogany table in the interrogation room was Damien who was drumming his fingers against the wood as he racked his brain, hoping to come up with a picture of the orchestrator of the attack.

Recently, he had no beef whatsoever with anyone, this made his thinking more tedious and when he couldn't handle it anymore, he grabbed the bottle of whiskey on his table and then began to drink directly from it.

“Sir.” Armani called when he arrived with the limping man.

Raising his head up, he received the flashdrive Armani was pushing towards him and immediately, he connected the device to his laptop.

“Brady Monty, twenty five year old, single, america native… who employed you?” He asked, raising his face from the screen of his laptop.

“No one did.” He replied immediately, his gaze fixed on that of Damien.

“I see.” He nodded in rhythm. Snapping his head upwards, he said, “Get me the largest box in the warehouse and a gardening shears, a bottle of iodine, three

    “Do you realize what he just brought this to me? '' Anne roared in outrage, sending the box on the table flying across the room. No one dared make a sound. To Anne, it was obvious that her son had decided to wage a combat against her. And she wasn't going to back down from the battle!“ Mother, you have to calm down. He’ll come around, I promise.” Luciano muttered, keeping his voice low, he didn't want to catch up on his mother’s rage; He knew the outcome of Damien’s madness tonight. Despite knowing his mother was wrong, he couldn't dare to support his brother. “ Did you see that? Why aren't you saying anything about it! “ Anne Spun towards her husband in a rage. “ What do you want to do, Anne? Let him be; he's all grown up now; he can make decisions for himself. And besides, you crossed the line when you asked Fabio to go against Damien. Fabio! That fool should have known that he was going into the lion's Den” Damien's father mumbled to himself, gulping down the glass of whiskey

    Armani! Armani!” Damien squealed in outrage as he walked into the mansion with Scarlet, trying so hard to meet with his steps. Armani knew better than to ignore Damien’s calls; from the look of things, it seemed the dinner meeting didn't end well. “ Boss,” Armani replied, making his way towards him. “ Is there any information about Fabio yet?” Damien asked, taking a cigarette out of his pouch and letting go of Scarlet's hand. Armani gaze traveled from Scarlet, back to his boss, and then muttered in a low voice. “ Not yet, boss; from the little information I compiled, it seems Fabio is on the run. We were also able to know that your mother contacted him, shortly after you left. “ A venomous smile appeared on Damien’s lips, as he veered towards Scarlet, signaling her to go upstairs, Scarlet hesitated for a while, but after seeing what happened today at Damien's father's mansion, she knew better not to disobey Damien any further, she would rather not incur wrath, and end up being b

    **A WEEK LATER…**Scarlet had been trying hard to avoid Damien, which was difficult since they lived in the same mansion and had breakfast together every morning. However, today felt different; for reasons only known to her, she was happy. She rushed downstairs and took a seat at the opposite end of the table to enjoy her breakfast. She had drafted her plans for the day and hoped to persuade Damien to let her leave the mansion, at least just this once.As they continued their breakfast in silence, Scarlet noticed Damien was focused more on his meal. Seizing the opportunity, she decided to start a conversation."Can I have a word with you?" she asked calmly, striving to be as polite as possible. She didn’t want Damien to reconsider, so she hoped that once she explained her intention, he would quickly grant her request."Hm," Damien replied without sparing her a glance."I would like to go back to my apartment. I have some important documents to pick up, and besides, it's been over thre

    "Isla.” Scarlett yelled, her purse making contact with the floor. Scrabbling to the other side of the bed, Isla, wearing a frightened look, began to put on her clothes hurriedly, mouthing, “It's not what you think.” “Even you Xavier.” Scarlett mumbled, her eyes stinging with tears as she watched both of them putting on their clothes hurriedly. “I can explain.” Xavier said, trying to hold her hands but instead, she slapped him off, grabbed her purse and then banged the door shut on his face. Grasping her purse with both hands, she began to walk through the hallway slowly, since her vision was blinded with tears. It was the thought of Xavier coming after her that made her start running through the hallway of Coutin Hotel, tears streaming down her cheeks. Heels clinking against the tiled floor, she continued her hurried movement, trying to forget the scene she had greeted with on her arrival some minutes ago. Xavier, her boyfriend, birthday is today and so she and her best friend,

    Scarlett shut her eyes tightly, only to snap them open moments later. Clutching the document as if her life depended on it, she asked, “What the hell is this?” “You must be literate. Even if you dropped out at the basic class, you were taught how to read, write and understand.” He said, his gaze fixed on the screen of his phone. Armani was giving him updates about the shipment he had gone to receive from the port. Since he was unable to make it to the port himself, Armani was going to join him when he was done to give a comprehensive report. “That's not the point here, mister. I asked what the hell is this? A marriage contract out of the blue? Are you even thinking?” She yelled, grabbing the edge of the bed rail. The mumble in the ward from his men was enough to make her shut her mouth, but instead, it fueled her anger. “I asked a question, are you thinking? I bet you aren't.” She snapped. Hitting her palms, she said,“For the record, you are the offender here. Running over me wi

    With Armani by his side, Damien made his way out of the hospital and then got into his car. From the rear mirror, he watched as his men pulled a struggling Scarlett into the car that was behind the one he was occupying and with a smirk, he said, “Let's see how long you can put up the act.” “Sir, can I turn on the engine?” Aramni asked, he had taken over from the driver who was handling the steering wheel of the other car. “Go ahead.” Came his response. It wasn't up to a minute that the engine roared into life and after scattering dust in the air, the car was sent into motion. Scarlett, thinking she could bypass the hefty guards, continued struggling but it was all to no avail. In fact, her struggles came to an end when she became sandwiched between two of the men. Bemoaning her fate, she began to tug her hair, not minding the pains she was feeling and at the same time, biting her lips in frustration. Yelling was the only viable option but after a second thought, she pinned her

    The guards continued pulling Scarlett until they got to the last room in the hallway, only then did they let go of her arms. “Finally.” She muttered, rubbing her aching arm and neck. This time around, she wasn't bothered about her current situation, she just wanted to rest her aching head. “You can leave her now.” Armani's voice came through. “Yes boss.” One of the men said and the next few minutes, Armani and Scarlett were the only ones left in the hallway. Pushing the door in, Armani stepped in and then gestured to her to do the same and without a word, she did so. “I think you should sign the papers before he comes around.” Aramni said, pulling the document out of the envelope. “I'm not signing anything, you can tell that to him.” She snapped. “How long will you keep this act up? No matter what you do, you're still going to sign this so go ahead and sign it.” He said, pushing the document towards her with a pen attached. “I'm not signing.” She said with an air of fina

    “$25 million, a new house in my choice place, a job…” she filtered off, rubbing the beads of perspiration off her forehead. “There's nothing to lose if I sign the contract, rather my life would be way more better than how I started off.” She mumbled. After reviewing the contract three more times, she picked up the pen and then signed it hurriedly. Grateful she did, she exhaled deeply, pushing the document back inside the envelope before setting it on the vintage table. Tying her hair up in a bun, she made her way into the bathroom and after discarding the hospital robe into the laundry basket, she stepped under the shower. As the cold water cascaded down her skin, it soothed her nerves and even helped to reduce the ache that was ravaging her whole body. “After six months, I'm going to live in a house similar to this one with everything at my beck and call.” She muttered, drying her hair with the dryer that was lying on the counter - she had just finished taking her bath.

    The knock came again the second time and with intentional footsteps, Damien made his way to the door, his gun dangling in his hand. Walk on your tiptoe, the bad guys will know someone is in the room — Scarlett yelled in her head, though she wanted to spew it out but couldn't because of fear.The gunshot came again and this time around, she buried her head inside the pillow only to raise it when the door flung open. “We are being attacked.” Aramani's voice came through. It was then only then she relaxed but her heart started racing again when the gun battle wouldn't stop. “I know. Got any idea on the intruders?” He asked casually, heightening Scarlett's fears. Not wanting to pass out, she quickly slid under the duvet as she muttered prayers to her maker for help. “They aren't part of any organization but they are professional.” “Number?” “Three dozen but our men have outsmarted them, they are currently dealing with the backups that arrived a few minutes ago.” He said. Nodding,

    Two weeks later…The golden rays of the sun seeped into the room, causing Scarlett's eyes to flutter open. For the next few minutes or so, she remained on the bed, hands on her hair as she thought about the recent happenings in her life. She was still in this position when her phone buzzed on the bedside table. Reaching out for it, she discovered it was a message from her service provider. “I was even thinking it was someone important.” She mumbled, throwing her legs off the bed. Still wearing a little frown, she made her way to the bathroom and after a warm bath, dressed up and then went downstairs for breakfast. A week ago, Damien had given her his credit card and together with Armani, they had gone to purchase a lot of clothes she would be using for the duration of the six months. “Hey, come over here. I made pancakes today, you need to see the golden little darlings.” The chef, whom she had grown fond of and was her friend called out with a merry voice when she joined him in
