A Deal With The Billionaire CEO 193
DamienAs I sat in my study, the weight of the day's events pressing down on me like a suffocating blanket, my mind raced with a thousand thoughts and worries. Isabella and I had paid a visit to her father, Emilio, seeking answers about his past involvement as the Puppeteer behind Renaissance. But what should have been a straightforward conversation had quickly devolved into chaos, with Emilio's uncouth behavior casting a shadow of unease over our already tumultuous lives.I couldn't shake the feeling of apprehension that gnawed at me from within, a sense of foreboding that whispered of danger lurking just beyond the horizon. Enemies were emerging from the shadows, their motives murky and their intentions sinister. And as the walls closed in around us, I knew that I had to confront the looming threat head-on, to protect my family at all costs.Emilio was a man haunted by his past, his secrets a heavy burden that weighed him down like chains. And if he was not careful, that chain would

Isabella 194.I sat across from Natalia in my mother-in-law's dining room, my heart pounding with anticipation as she began to speak. There was a tension in the air, thick and palpable, as she prepared to reveal the secrets of her sordid past – a past that was inexplicably intertwined with my own."Isabella, darling," Natalia began, her voice low and measured. "There are things about your father that you need to know."My breath caught in my throat at her words, a sense of dread washing over me like a tidal wave. Emilio, my long-estranged father, was a mystery wrapped in an enigma, a man whose secrets ran deeper than I could ever have imagined."What do you mean?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.Natalia sighed, her gaze flickering with a mixture of sadness and regret."Your father and I... we were involved in some... unsavory activities together," she admitted, her words heavy with the weight of confession.I felt a surge of disbelief wash over me at her revelation, the piec

Damien 195.As I stepped out of Emilio's house, the weight of his words hung heavy on my shoulders like a suffocating shroud. The revelation of his true nature, as the mastermind behind the criminal activities plaguing our lives, left me reeling with a sense of dread and despair. How could I have been so blind to the darkness lurking within my wife's own father?Each step I took away from that house felt like a march towards an uncertain future, one fraught with danger and uncertainty. The image of Emilio, his cold gaze fixed upon me with a hint of malice, burned into my mind like a brand, a constant reminder of the sinister forces at play.As I climbed into my car and started the engine, the sound of its roar drowned out by the cacophony of thoughts swirling in my head. My hands gripped the steering wheel with white-knuckled intensity, the familiar comfort of the leather providing little solace in the face of the chaos raging within me.I drove home in silence, the road stretching out

Damien 196.As I pulled out of the driveway, the weight of the day's events hung heavy on my shoulders. The encounter with Emilio had left me shaken, my mind swirling with questions and doubts. But I pushed aside the turmoil brewing within me, focusing instead on the task at hand – reaching my mother's house safely.Suddenly, my senses went on high alert as I noticed a car tailing me, its darkened windows obscuring the identity of its occupants. My heart raced as I considered the possibility that it could be Monroe or one of his cohorts, lying in wait to ambush me.I tightened my grip on the steering wheel, my mind racing with possibilities. Should I confront them head-on, or try to lose them in the maze of streets? But before I could make a decision, the car peeled off onto a side street, disappearing from view as quickly as it had appeared.Relief washed over me as I realized that I had narrowly escaped whatever danger lurked behind the tinted windows. But the sense of unease remain

Isabella 197."You know what?" Ava asked us excitedly. She had been giddy ever since her son came to pay her a visit. Due to the turbulence at work, Damien came here after a long day."What?" I asked."Let's go on a family trip just the three of us, let us just get away from everything, we can clear our heads that way," She replied in an excited manner.It was not a bad idea. I was a stay at home wife so I had all the time in the world. Plus I was also carrying his child so maybe a vacation was the next best thing."Damien? Would it be possible to have you all to myself for a few days?" I jokingly asked my husband."Yes, he would love to," Ava answered for him. Damien had on a huge grin."When do we leave?" Damien asked. I turned to him, puzzled."You want us to go now?" I asked just to be sure that I heard him correctly."Why wait? Besides, Renaissance can wait to kill me another day," He said with a shrug."That was not funny, Damien," Ava said."My apologies," He jokingly replied.

Damien 198.It was just the way that I envisioned it. Me, my wife and my mother, happy and relaxing. Nothing else mattered in the world to me except this moment and I would cherish it for a long time.While the women had been putting their feet up and having a good time, I was busy stacking up the fireplace with dry wood so I could light it up and keep the whole cabin warm when it gets cold at night.We watched the shores and waves and told old dad jokes. However, towards the evening time, I noticed that Isabella looked angry and troubled. Her mood changed after she had received a phone call.Before I even realized it, my mind was already going through her contact list and I was trying to analyze who the person on the other end of the line could be.I only had three guesses and they were Emilio, Natalia or Camilla. I tried to stay calm and thought nothing of it but it was of no use. My wife was distressed about something and I wanted to know who was behind it.

Damien 199.As I sat at my desk in the bustling chaos of the office, my mind buzzed with anticipation and unease. Camilla Valdez, the enigmatic figure who had mysteriously inserted herself into my life, was due to arrive any moment now, and I couldn't shake the feeling that her presence heralded trouble.I glanced at the clock, the seconds ticking by agonizingly slow as I waited for her arrival.

Damien My gaze never wavered from Vito's face as I listened to my arch nemesis. The gravity of the situation got more and more deadlier as the night wore on. The papers were still in Vito's hand as I kept the phone to my hear.My father had an inquisitive look on his face as he watched me closely. The line went dead and I put the phone back into my pocket. I collected the the contract and without breaking eye contact, slowly tore it up right in front of him.Vito's eyes widened in shock and utter disbelief. "What the fuck are you doing?" He yelled maniacally as he knelt on the floor trying in vain to join the piece of paper together in a futile attempt.For the first time in my life, I saw him for what he was. An empty barrel of a man, a pathetic and sorry excuse for a husband to my mother and a fucking dead beat piece of shit of a father. I felt nothing but contempt and disgust as I watched him scrambled across the whole floor."Do you know what you have done?!" He yelled at me as h

She stumbled slightly, her eyes wide with shock and confusion, but when she saw me, her expression softened with a mixture of relief and concern."Isabella, darling, are you alright?" she asked, her voice trembling with emotion as she hurried to my side.I reached out to her, my hands shaking as I clutched hers tightly, drawing strength from her presence despite the terror that still gripped me. "I'm scared, Ava," I admitted, my voice barely above a whisper. "I don't know what's going to happen to us."Ava's eyes filled with tears as she wrapped her arms around me, holding me close in a comforting embrace. "We'll get through this together, sweetheart," she said, her voice choked with emotion.

Damien As I strode through the familiar corridors of the office building, my mind raced with thoughts and plans. Natalia's brazen attempts to undermine me only fueled my determination. I had come too far to let her or anyone else stand in my way.But it wasn't just about me anymore. My family – Isabella, Ava, our unborn child – they were my driving force.

Damien I was watchful during the conference meeting. I took my time to really look at the board members sitting at the table to see if I could see a member of the Founder's Association but none were seated at this conference. Even Rose St Dumas was not present. Maybe she was preparing her cronies of corrupt businessmen and women for the final show down.Camilla Valdez was also not present but Natalia was. I could not tell what was going on in her head as she gazed at me. If her mother was one of them, did that not make her automatically part of tht fold? Was I over reaching? If the plan with the detective worked, it meant that a lot of people will inevitably get hurt. "What is the profit margin for today?" I asked as I got down to business. "Eight percent since last year," Natalia said in a professional manner. "That's lower than last two years," I said with a frown. "That was due to the Al Vegas controversy," One of the board members said. "You mean the embezzlement," I replied

Behind their friendly facades, I couldn't help but wonder who among them could be trusted, and who might be secretly wo
