“What the hell do you mean?” Damien's furious voice echoed in his office as his secretary quivered in fear. “This is a court summon, King is suing us.” She said one more time. What does that mean? Why? Did Kayden discover anything? That is not possible as his plan was fool-proof. Did Marie get discovered? Did she turn on him? He scratched his head in frustration. He had out all of his money into this. He had to bring Kayden down. “The reason?” Damien asked his shivering secretary. “Business contempt” She answered shakily “When is the hearing?” Damien asked as he slammed his palm on his desk with force. “In 2 hours sir” the secretary said “What? That's so quick. He's not giving me any time to figure something out, is he?” Dameien looked at his secretary for a sign of hope, as she just shook her head. Damien called his partner in crime, Toji Hama. “Damien, what the fuck did you do?” Hama barked out immediately. Damien was taken aback, as he did nothi
Damien got to the processor's office as cameras flashed on him.“How do you feel about the situation” a reporter asked “Damien, do you feel you would win?” Another reporter asked hastingly as Damien hurriedly walked inside the building.The security personnel blocked the entrance as Damien and his team entered.Damien saw Marie, who was with other members of the King Corporation, and he sighed in relief.The fact she was still with them meant that they hadn't caught her, so he could definitely worm his way out of this.“We would start a private hearing between the two parties and their attorneys. Please come in.” A woman said curtly.She was exhausted from reviewing the documents, and she looked at Damien. Her fierce eyes looked at him.She saw no remorse, just a cocky bastard who has committed a huge legal crime trying to destroy his nation because of his petty jealousy.He really doesn't know what's in store for him. He would certainly rue the day he was born after today.The legal
Every media in the country were possibly present. Kayden and his team walked out. The reporters present immediately went into a frenzy trying to get to Kayden. “Sir, can you give us a statement?” a reporter asked. “After the court hearing tomorrow.” Kayden said as he left them with the help of his team. Gemma had to stay back to settle things, as she requested to have Damien and his allies punished to the max. Gemma sat down, rubbing her now throbbing head as the prosecutor lady passed her a bottle of water. “Can't believe I met the power couple of the century today” The lady chuckled as she drank her water, trying to ease Gemma's mind. “Stop teasing me Nat” Gemma said as she drank the water. “Do you think Kayden would let Damien get a death penalty?” Gemma asked worriedly. “It's not about Kayden, it's about the country and how Damien almost caused a war. It's a war crime and the country would be prosecuting him.” Natalie said as Gemma took deep breaths. The whole situation
Being trapped in the cold cell just reminds me of my past. “Cruel bastard!” An officer spat out bitterly as he glared at me. It has always been like this, everyone hating on me because of Kayden. Is he the only one allowed to be happy? It has always been perfect Kayden and ordinary Damien ever since debut days. He has always been everyone's favourite, and I am forgotten even when we finally made it in the industry. Thinking about how I have been second my whole life makes me upset, it's burdening. I don't like it I also don't like this cell. It's too cold, just like my life. “I don't like this cell.” I said out loud for the officers to hear. The one who had glared at me earlier did the same again, but this time worse. He looked at me like I was dirt. Like I was a scum not worth his time or attention. “I don't like you glaring at me either.” I said, irritated at his looks. Officers present scoffed, visibly repulsed by my sight. Nothing new! “Can you im
Gemma rushed inside Kayden's mansion.The head maid, after seeing Gemma, sighed in relief.“What's going on Naomi” Gemma asked worriedly.“His meals are untouched.” She said to Gemma.“ When did it start?" Gemma asked.“3 days ago, he hadn't left his room.” Naomi said.“What really happened?” Gemma asked worriedly. She has been busy with documents concerning Kayden as she could not represent him in court as she was his girlfriend.She didn't want her judgement to be questioned, so she gave her assistant Phelps.Phelps did a fantastic job representing Kayden. He was brutal, and other atrocities Damien committed were further exposed.After the trial, Kayden had left her with an excuse of how tired he was.She couldn't follow him as she had a mountain of workload to attend to.Yesterday was the day the law dealt with Damien.He was killed by lethal injection, which was a verdict from the court.He was found guilty of high treason, attempted murder, money laundering, stock manipulation, f
“He's been like this for two days. Shouldn't we take him to the hospital?” Ava said worriedly.Ava immediately came running when Gemma had called her frantically.“The doctor checked him already.” Amon said as he rubbed her shoulders soothingly.“Curse that vermin” Ava said angrily.Ava pulled Gemma for a warm hug.“I thought things would be easier if I had a job and.....” “Damien is out of our lives, thank God, so things would go smoothly from here onwards.” Ava assured Gemma.Gemma basked in the warmth of her dearest best friend.Ava was her comfort for all her struggles, and she was grateful for it.“Madam, Sir is finally awake.” A maid called out excitedly.Gemma, Ava, and Amon quickly rushed to the room where Kayden laid.Kayden was sitting on the bed with IVs strapped in his body.He looked so helpless.The greatest of the King's right now is a helpless 28 years old.“Throne, you look so thin” He said immediately he saw Gemma.Tears welled up in Gemma's eyes again for what seem
Kayden smelt a lot better after a long shower.He grabbed his phone as he saw messages from numerous people.Most people sympathized with him, and others were being people.He had told everyone that he would start working again from next week, and Gemma was in charge.Gemma is his lucky charm. She is so perfect that it hurts.“I should marry her soon” He muttered to himself.He thinks the time is finally right to get married to Gemma.He has been waiting for a long time. It's time she becomes his and his only.Amon sent a video from today's meeting.Gemma exudes elegance in a stunning white and black ensemble. Her skirt, a luxurious silk pencil design, falls just above the knee, with a subtle slit at the back. The fitted white blouse features intricate black lace trim along the neckline and cuffs, adding a touch of sophistication. Her hair is styled in a sleek, high bun, showcasing her flawless makeup: subtle smoky eyes, defined brows, and a soft pink lip colour.On her feet, Gemma
Gemma came down from her car as she saw Kayden with a bouquet of flowers.She walked to him, where she embraced him sweetly.She was the talk of the town as she had attended trade con on behalf of Kayden. It was like telling everyone that they are for life.Kayden returned the hug. It's been about a week.Gemma has been playing the role of the boss of Kings Corporation, a job she was perfect at that he didn't want to work he just wanted to leave everything to her.“Welcome back boss” Kayden teased Gemma, who fell weakly in his arms.“You look better now, I am glad.” Gemma said in his neck.“I've been on bed rest thanks to a certain someone.” Kayden said.Gemma chuckled, it's good to have this Kayden back she thought she had lost him.“Are you hungry?”Kayden asked. “I ate well, I just want to sleep. I am so tired.” Gemma muttered.Kayden immediately held Gemma hands, leading her upstairs to the room.“You can freshen up and rest” Kayden smiled sweetly.Gemma immediately attacked his l
