Damien As I paced back and forth in my dimly lit office, my mind swirled with a mix of emotions and thoughts. Anger surged through my veins, igniting a fire within me. "Why in the world did you just call me out here?" I demanded, my voice dripping with intensity. "Calm down... we're doing our best to take down the news," Eros muttered, but I brushed off his words, my anger boiling inside me. "Working on it, but it feels like the news is everywhere, damn it!" I growled through clenched teeth. The frustration flooded through my veins, fueling my anger. “I know but you have to calm down first, Damien,” "DON'T YOU DARE!" I exclaimed, my body freezing in place as I whipped my head towards him. My chest rose and fell rapidly, anger burning in my eyes. "My contract with GadgetGeeks company is on the line here... We have to protect them," I emphasized, before releasing a frustrated breath and running my hand through my hair. Eros let out a sigh, while Pasito remained engrossed in a ph

OliviaWith a smile on my face, I parked my car and made my way towards the house. As I walked, a warm feeling spread through my heart, grateful for the little stunt I had just pulled off.The internet is damn on fire! You know, finding someone to do the work for you isn't too difficult when money is involved. People can be quite motivated by a little cash incentive.Opening the door, I walked inside, the wicked smile still not leaving my lips. As I walked into the living room, a wave of tension hung in the air. There sat my father, sipping his coffee, and my mother, sitting beside him. They were close physically, but it was clear that something was missing between them. No chemistry, no bond. It was as if they were two strangers sharing a couch. This always makes me wonder if he actually loves my mom.It's always been interesting how he never fails to remind us of our place in his life, even though he never says it outright. But his actions speak volumes. Since the very first day,

"No way, Olivia! I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw what you pulled out there," Mason exclaims, his jaw-dropping in utter disbelief.Swaying my hips in sing-song steps, I can't help but let out a triumphant laugh as I plop down on the couch. "The internet is going wild! All it takes is some cash," I say, shrugging nonchalantly as I sink into the cushions.“How?” He shakes his head, still in shock. "How in the world did you manage to pull it off? And where on earth did you get the money? I know it must have cost a fortune," he asks, joining me on the couch.I give him a quick wink, my face lighting up with a big grin. "You won't believe it, but the person actually hacked her Instagram account," I reveal, earning a sharp gasp from Mason. He chuckles before shaking his head in disbelief, but my expression turns somber as I gaze into the empty space. "And the payment came from my own pocket," I say, nervously chewing on my inner lip. “From your money,” Mason muttered before his gaze

Damien Sitting across the office table, I couldn't help but glance at my wristwatch. Frustration bubbled up inside me as I ran my hand through my hair. "If I could count, you must've checked your wristwatch more than five times. Gotta relax, bro?" Pasito let out a weary sigh. He seemed exhausted as he slouched back on the couch.Eros casually propped his elbow on the armchair, scrolling through his phone, lost in thought. The room buzzed with anticipation after Lucas spilled the details. While a part of me felt a surge of relief knowing Ashley wasn't involved but I couldn't help but keep checking my wristwatch. I can't wait for 8:46 pm when I'll head to La Rosa Nera club and show that idiot what happens when they mess with my name. Though a huge amount was paid to bring down the news I couldn't wait to latch out on that bitch and also find out who is behind her. “Wait!” Eros's sudden outburst caught us off guard, and our heads snapped in his direction. "What's going on now?" I

“Look, Damien, please don't try anything stupid in there,” “No matter what, she is still your wife's sister,” “Is obvious they are not on speaking terms but we don't know the cause. What if it is a minor issue and those are sisters? They can still reconcile and then what happens if you hurt her? Think about your wife,” I'm sitting in the backseat, gritting my teeth, as Eros just keeps going on and on with his non-stop blabbering words as he drives us down to the club. I mean, seriously, it feels like he's got an endless supply of words stored up in there! I can't help but roll my eyes and wonder if we'll ever arrive at our destination with all this unnecessary chatter going on. He cast a glance at me through the rearview mirror before asking, "Hey, bro, do you understand me?"I couldn't help but roll my eyes at him, my fists clenched so tight, that I thought I might burst. The anger inside me was simmering, ready to explode. With a hiss escaping my lips, we made the next

She forcefully yanked her wrist from my grip, and I watched as she quickly moved away from me, creating a small but noticeable distance between us. I snarled, my eyes fixed on her as she poured the wine into the glass tumbler on the table. Her seductive gaze met mine, intensifying the tension in the room. Holding the glass, she sauntered towards me, her perfectly slender legs on full display. Ignoring the palpable tension in the air, she stopped right in front of me, a seductive grin playing on her lips. Her eyes sparkled as she extended the glass towards me. Glaring at her with a mix of anger and frustration, I couldn't stand her misplaced confidence any longer. In a fit of fury, I forcefully knocked the glass out of her hand, the sound of it shattering against the floor echoing through the room. Without hesitation, I grabbed her chin, my grip tight and commanding. But to my disbelief, she let out a seductive triumph, her voice dripping with desire. "Come, Damien, I love my men r

I felt restless, and immediately the car stopped, without hesitation, I hopped out. My gaze scanned the area, observing my men as they moved about. As I neared the half-burnt building, my anger surged, boiling within me. The sight that unfolded before my eyes was haunting, sending shivers down my spine.The charred remnants stood as a somber reminder of the destructive force that had engulfed it. The thick smell of smoke swirls around the place, creating an unsettling atmosphere. Damn it….. This is one of my profitable warehouses!I clenched my teeth as I glanced at the building. The once majestic structure now wore the scars of fire, its walls blackened and crumbling, its windows shattered and empty. "I got the news late," Pasito said as he came to stand beside me, his right hand gently resting on my shoulder."What happened here?" I managed to form my words, my voice laced with anger as I fought to contain it. "This didn't just start burning," I turned to face him, my eyes narr

Ashley I've been pacing around the room since morning after Damien left, and I can't shake this restless feeling. It's a mix of fear and confusion that's been consuming me. My mind keeps searching for answers, but nothing seems to make sense.Who hacked my account? How am I going to explain this mess to Damien when it's clear that I was the only one who knew about the announcement, besides his friends?Is it his friends? Holy shit…… not possible!I rubbed my palms nervously, what about my father? Has he seen the news? Damn! I could feel the anxiety building up with each step I took. A sigh escaped my lips as I heard a faint knock at the door. "Aurora, just go!" I screamed, not caring to see who it was. "I've already told you that I'm not hungry... Take your lunch away," the words rolled out in a muffled tone as I sobbed uncontrollably, my hand instinctively covering my mouth to stifle the sound. “Is Emily, ma,” “Dinner is ready,” she announced behind the closed door.My heart

Sitting beside me is Mrs. Albrecht, carrying my three years old son, Ryan, in her arms. He is just the cardboard copy of his father, Damien. The only thing he took from me is just my deep blue ocean eyes, other features are just like that of Damien. Damien rubbed my right hand, and perked it before intertwining them in his. I looked at him and smiled, he didn’t lie when he said that he will make things right again. He had been incredibly sweet, easy going, jovial and

Ashley Time flies and before I knew it it was morning already. I spoke with Sebastian yesterday and he told me that he will be coming with a surprise package. Knock. Knock“I am coming," I shouted and perked Mrs. Catherina in the cheeks and hurried to open the door. “Hey Sebastian," I greeted with a warm smile and he smiled back. “How have you been?" “Just there," I replied, my eyes curiously trailing all over him for any present or anything but he came empty handed. Where is the surprise package?" Hey, you said that you have something that will cheer me up,” I pouted and he laughed while walking in." Yeah, I did," he replied but just then, Mrs. Catherina walked in. “Hey Sebastian." “Wow!" He went in to give her a warm hug, though I noticed they exchanged a strange look. What was that for? I opened my mouth to ask, but Sebastian beat me to it, “So, Ash, how's my little nephew?” He plopped down on the couch, and Mrs. Catherina returned to her cooking, humming a tune in the k

Damien The room is dark, with a smell of alcohol lingering in the air. I sat on the ground with another bottle of alcohol and leaned my head against the wall. It has been four good months that I haven’t seen Ashley. I have tried to reach her, to explain things but it was all a futile mission. She doesn’t want to see me. She had blocked me on all the social media platforms from reaching her. Since her absence, life has been hard and bitter on my side. I had to give up her father’s company and resigned as the owner but still she doesn’t want me. I know I wronged her but I am ready to fix things. To show her the sweet, jovial, and easy going side of me.But I guess it is all too late now. I pulled my hair and took another huge sip from the drink. For the past few months, I have regretted the life I had lived. How I had neglected her. I blamed myself day and night for not being so serious in finding her then after that night.I hated myself more…. More for the constant abuses,

It's been three months since I left Los Angeles, and I must admit, I miss Damien every single day. He's tried every possible way to reach me, bombarding me with countless apologies and calls, desperate to make things right. Yet, despite the ache in my heart, I still yearn for him. But the painful realization runs too deep, and I just can't bring myself to go back to him. My heart and mind are at war, torn between the love I still feel and the hurt I thought I'd never overcome.I felt utterly betrayed, so I blocked Damien on all social media platforms. Since then, the only people I've been in contact with are Sebastian and Jessica. Though I've also heard through the grapevine that Damien has relinquished control of my father's company and resigned as owner. But I couldn't care less, my father is already dead. As I sat on the couch, staring blankly at the TV in front of me, my mind wandered, not even concentrating on the news. When suddenly, the doorbell rang, signaling that someone

AshleyThe airport is full of people leaving and entering from arriving flights. I sat down on the bench there waiting patiently for my flight, when suddenly the airport's public address system crackled to life. The air traffic control personnel announce, their voice echoing through the terminal..."Attention all passengers and airport personnels, due to severe weather conditions, all flight departures are currently suspended. Please check with your airline for further updates and instructions.""What?!" I gasped, shocked. Which weather? I thought, glancing up at the small opening up there to see the sky but to my surprise, it was clear. Not a cloud in sight, no sign of rain or even a hint of turbulence.What are they now talking about? I wasn't the only one perplexed, my fellow passengers exchanged confused glances, and a low murmur and noises started rising and that’s when my phone beeped. I pulled it out from my pocket and it was Sebastian. "Hey, Sebastian," I answered, steppi

amien. Swirling my office chair around, my mind kept drafting to different directions. I won’t deny the fact that I am kind of scared about the abortion that Ashley is about to go through but then again… . I rubbed my face, and let out a deep sigh. What if I lose her? God forbid! I don’t think I will survive that, picking out my phone to dial Ashley’s number when suddenly the door to my office opened and Lucas walked in. "Good evening, boss," he said, but I just raised an eyebrow in response. Noticing my expression, he added, "Someone is here to see you, boss."Someone is here to see me? Who? I am not expecting anyone.“Who?" I asked, eyeing him up suspiciously. He gulped hard and scratched his neck nervously, “I think is best to see him," Him?Giving him a suspicious glare, I leaned back in my chair and nodded for him to let the person in. He nodded and went back to the door. My curiosity widened as the door opened, and I readjust to see the person but to my surprise, Seba

Tears were rushing down my face as I hurried down stairs. All my world seemed to be crumbling before me for real this time. My heart was full of pain, and hurt.I haven’t felt this broken before all through my life. It feels like I am suffocating. I held my chest, feeling a painful tug against my heart. So all the time I have been living with that monster from that very night. He was the reason that my life was full of pain, bruises, suffering and trauma. I was almost downstairs, when a hand suddenly grabbed me from behind and pulled me into an empty corridor in the restaurant. "Ash, please calm down, let's talk," Sebastian whispered urgently beside me. But I shook my head, tears streaming down my face. "No! No!" I exclaimed, my voice cracking. "He broke me!" I wailed, and Sebastian pulled me in a tight, comforting hug. I continued to sob, screaming, and venting all my anger and frustration until exhaustion took over.**** ***** Sitting across the table alone with Sebastian

“And how is this related to the stranger?" I turned to Sebastian but Layla was quick to answer. “I just wanted to tell you how everything happened,” she said, attempting to look pitiful But I am not buying those cheap looks on her face. She had betrayed me, and I wasn't about to forget it. " Then be fast, I don’t have all day,” I snapped, my patience wearing thin. Sebastian patted my hand to calm down. "After I caught them, I threatened to tell you," Layla said, tears streaming down her face. "Honestly, I wanted to tell you, but they used my grandma's condition against me." She sobbed, but I raised an eyebrow at her. "He offered to treat her for free if I kept quiet and went along with their plan. I was devastated...," she trailed off, sniffling. Sebastian handed her a tissue across the table, and she took it, turning to face me. "They threatened to kick my grandma out if I didn't cooperate. You know how much I love her; she's my only living relative. So, I agreed to play a

My ringing tone pulled me out of my sleep, and I yawned, stretching out my hand to grab the phone from the nightstand beside the bed. Again, Damien hadn't slept here last night. My head pounded as I tried to sit up straight in bed. I picked up the call without checking the caller ID and placed the phone to my ear. "Yes?" I sounded drowsy, my voice husky from sleep."Are you just waking up?" Sebastian chuckled from the other end of the line. Startled, I pulled the phone away and checked the caller ID. "Fuck," I hissed under my breath. "It's still morning," I said, yawning. I heard him chuckle again before saying, "When you're done, come to the eatery at Street 10 by the roadside." "Why?" I asked, my curiosity piqued. "It's about our last discussion," he replied. My gaze widened, and I instantly sat up straight in bed, my heart racing."Did you find anything?" I asked, clinging to the duvet in fear. I heard Sebastian sigh before saying, "Just come out, at least by 10 o'clock.
