Damien's POV
"And that is supposed to...what? Interest me?" I tilted my head in sarcasm and chuckled as I sat comfortably in my seat. "You have a death wish?"
The man shivered with fear. I let out a calm breath.
"This is the third time you've wasted my time. You know that if you irritate me…" I left it at that because I knew my smirk was enough to complete the sentence.
He had visible fear on his face. "I--I-am sorry, boss," he stuttered. "I-I will make this right—"
I took out my gun and pointed it at him. His eyes widened and he took a few shaky steps back from my desk. "B-boss---"
"You stupid pitiful fools," I chuckled and got up. "You don't even know when to shut up, do you?"
He looked down and continued taking deep breaths. I turned off the safety of my gun and he squinted his eyes.
"Last words?"
He didn't beg. Well, I'll give that to my people - silent deaths are their thing.
"I want--"
I shot him before he could complete his sentence. His body fell to the floor with a thud and I let out an exasperated sigh. "As if," I whispered to myself and then called one of my men to clean up the mess.
…
I am Damien Wright. 24 years into this dark world has opened my mind to the emptiness of an already perfectly nothingness. Some say I haven't seen much, I'm still young to know anything - well, I make sure those people don't get to see anything anymore.
I am the one and only person who has the right to judge me because I am the only one who knows what I've gone through. I hate entitlement - unless, of course - I'm the one being entitled.
“Not again.”
I heard a sigh and looked at the man walking inside my cabin.
Well, he can judge me too. However, he doesn’t.
“What?” I raised one of my eyebrows and took out some paperwork. He came further inside.
“Who was he?”
Trevor Hall is my best friend. He has been in my life for as long as I remember and that’s why he’s alive even after being so irritating.
“Do you want the beautiful details?” I smirked and he rolled his eyes.
“I didn’t ask that.”
He has always been the softer one. I couldn’t be as soft as him and still survive - maybe he had found something in this world that I didn’t.
“One of our people. He kept irritating me for no reason, so he had it coming.” I shrugged casually and signed one of the documents. “Can’t you do this paperwork?”
Trev wasn’t in the best mood. “When you stop killing people for fun, call me.”
I sighed and he left the cabin. After flowing my hand through my hair in frustration, I continued with the boring work.
My guys came and cleaned up the place. There were too many people working for us and that’s why we don’t really know every single one – that’s the reason Trev was unaware.
My phone’s ringtone resounded in the room and I took it out of my pocket.
‘Amelia.’Of course. She can’t stop calling me.
I picked it up, completely annoyed. “What do you want?”
“Oh, are you having a bad day, Damien? I can make some food—”“Let’s just cut to the chase, alright? I asked, what do you want?”“Oh, no need to be so rude. I am still Trevor’s fiancee.”
Yeah, you heard it right.
“Exactly. So, stop calling me.” I hung up the call.
She has always been out of line. I’ve tried to tell Trev about her intentions but even after being so heartless, I can’t bring myself to break his heart. He loves her so much. Maybe things could change after they get married.
I drowned myself in work again.
Damien’s POVI was just finishing up my documents when someone knocked on the door.“Come in,” I said without looking up.“Oh, Damien. Always working!”I looked up, irritated. “Why are you here?”“Don’t be such a jerk, Damien.” She walked toward me and leaned over on the table, showing her cleavage. I looked sideways and then down at my paper, shattering her intentions.“Stop working!” She said excitedly so and was about to take my document away when I caught her hand in between. “You should walk out of here,” I said with a dark voice.“You know I get really tingly when you use your threatening tone. It is so… sexy.”I was reaching my level of frustration with her.“You want to seduce me, don’t you?&rdq
Damien’s POV“The work is done, boss,” Michael — one of my people — informed me. I nodded and he left the room.I rubbed my forehead and sighed. Things have been difficult without Trevor. He wasn’t just a business partner, he was my best friend. Now, he had just… disappeared for three days.I can’t find him. I don’t even know if I should.Anyway, the work was done, so it was time to go home. I got up and as I left the cabin, my eyes fell on a woman standing near the door. I raised my eyebrow.“Do I know you?”She looked at me and gasped. “Ah— no, no sir. I–I was, uh, just…”“Calm down,” I said as I sensed how scared she was.She took a deep breath.“Y-yeah. Uh, I was… um, appointed by Mr. Trevor Hall to assist you in
Damien’s POVI let out a shaky breath at the person I saw.“You?” I asked with resentment in my voice, “how did you get in?”The man laughed with pleasure and let out a fake-warm smile. “Oh, son. I still have the key to this house because… why? Oh! Because this is my fucking house!”I chuckled. “Yours? Seriously?” I took a dominating step toward him. “Do you have the papers to prove that?”“Oh, you’re so naive. Always involving lawyers, and… police… and judges… courts… These are family matters, my son.”“First of all, I am not your fucking son,” I said, “Second, this is not a family matter.”“Oh don’t worry, I don’t need your house. I came here bearing gifts!”
Damien’s POVIt was 4 AM when I returned back to my bedroom. The drinks couldn’t get me high, but I was okay with it. After all, I had to go to work.I took some rest and woke up at 6 AM, got ready by 6:30, and then reached my office by 7:30. I knew Evie must be coming soon, but I was reluctant to tell her what I wanted.Well, not wanted.It was 8:15 when she finally came up to the door and knocked. It was a transparent door, so I nodded and she came in.“Goodmorning, boss. I, um, will report to you regarding all the meetings in ten minutes. A lot of people—”I cut her in between. “I need to ask you something.”She stopped and some worry lines appeared on her forehead.“Y-yes, boss?”“If there was a demand, a not… normal demand from me, would you listen?”
Evie’s POV“Who is she?” I heard Mr. Trevor Hall say to Damien with a shocked and worried expression.“You know her. You hired her, so you don’t need to act like you don’t know her,” Damien was rather cold and I felt as if I was between two icebergs.Shit, the titanic couldn’t take one iceberg.Trevor smirked. “Well, I guess you forgot the rules. No strangers.”“She is not a stranger,” he looked at me and I grew more nervous. Suddenly, he took my hand in his, and I stared widely at our connection. “She is my wife-to-be.”That didn’t go well because Trevor squinted his eyes and looked at him with disgrace. “You’re setting up your happy after with the person I hired after you ruined mine?”“Well, life is ironic.” He shrugged. “Do
DamienIt was weird having someone with me at the house, but I guess, everything will change someday.“Which room should I take?” I heard Evie as she entered the house.“Your choice,” I said, knowing that it was impossible she would choose the one I stay in out of the sixty others.“Well.” She sighed deeply. “You live alone?”“The servants are gone, so yeah, I am alone right now,” I smirked and said in a tone that made her face red.She looked down. “I-I will find some room now.”I smiled as I watched her move toward one of the rooms.“By the way, I would suggest looking through all the rooms and choosing the one you like!” I shouted because she was a little far away.She looked back and nodded slowly. I smirked and went to my room, which was on the second floor.&nb
Damien“Where did you find Evie?” I asked him. He looked at me with suspicion.“How does that matter?”“Well, she was the only one new—”“So you brought her to our secret base and let her hear our conversation without trusting her?”“You know there is no one we can trust!” I shouted. “We can never be sure!”“No. No, that is not true. I trusted you and you failed our plan.”I scoffed. “You want to pin that on me?”“Yes, actually.” He got up. “I should’ve never called you.”“And I should've never accepted someone you hired.”“And I should’ve never told you about my fiancee because you are so fucking jealous of everything.”I chuckled. “What?”“Yes. That’s what it
EvieIt was hell living with him.“You know you can’t go out.” He chuckled as I was completely prepared to go and buy some new clothes for myself.“I thought protecting someone meant giving them bodyguards and stuff. It doesn’t mean keeping them captive!” I exclaimed and sighed.He shrugged. “Should’ve thought about it before working with Lucifer.”“As if I had a choice,” I murmured.“Well go ahead but don’t bother me if Trevor finds you and kills you.”“Isn’t he your friend? Why can’t you explain to him?”The question was obviously ignored by him as he continued working on his laptop. I sat down on the couch, tired from being in the house all the time.It has been two days since I am locked here and God knows when I will get to
Evie I was taken aback by his sweet gesture. We had been close for a while but things were getting better day by day, and my hopes were starting to touch the sky. Maybe he could actually be my soulmate. The one who’ll love me as much as I would love him. Maybe it didn’t have to be just a business marriage. He smiled. “Now, you should take a shower. I mean unless you want to stare at me for the rest of the time.” I blushed and sneaked a glance at his bare chest, blushing even more. He was so sexy, and he was actually… good. He made me feel safe and secure. Even after what happened with Lucifer and almost the betrayal, he thought he had, he trusted me again and I knew in my heart that I wouldn’t ever betray him. “No, I-I will shower.” I stepped back and with a smile, took my dress and went into the bathroom. I could feel his gaze on me all the while until I locked the door. ___________ Damien My fingers went through the pile of congratulatory cards in my hand. The wedding hadn’t
EvieI looked at him.“I mean,” his voice was suddenly deep. “How long do you think you can control yourself around me?”I took a deep breath, trying to calm my overwhelming desire to give in.“F-Forever,” I whispered and looked away. I picked up a lamp kept on a small table to avoid his gaze but he came closer and took the lamp.“So, you have no problem if I do this.”“Do what?” I was compelled to look at him.He smirked and pulled me closer. Before I could react, he kissed me and we fell onto the bed. I kissed him back and he devoured my mouth with his tongue, making my senses go wild.His kiss was like feathers. Not only soft but so beautiful, so mesmerizing… that I was completely lost.He parted and looked into my eyes. We both breathed heavily before he kissed the side of my mouth and then kissed the nape of my neck.“Damien…” I whispered.His rasped breathing was more evident than mine. He stopped kissing me and joined our foreheads — something that made me feel that his feeling
Damien We reached the airport in a few minutes and sat down in our private plane. I looked over to her and she was quite amazed. “What? Never seen a private plane before?” I couldn’t help but ask, smirking. She rolled her eyes before looking around again, her beautiful eyes glistening with amazement. “Not really.” “Well, you should get used to this. Now that you’re going to be Mrs. Wright.” Her eyes flickered for a second and she looked at me, thinking about something. I could share the same emotions because the same feelings erupted inside me. Mrs. Wright. My wife. I smiled to myself. Even though the consequences leading up to right now weren’t pretty, I couldn't think how this could be anything bad. I didn’t have any problems with her — and for some reason, I thought that it was only good since I might never find someone like her again. Her sarcasm.Her cute smile.Her eye-rolls.Her comebacks.Mostly, her carefree yet caring nature. Who else could fit the description of be
Evie I looked at Damien. “What?” I asked.“Nothing. Just no one has ever said that to me.” He looked away again. I sighed. Should I be happy that I was the first one to say that or be sad that so many people get fooled by his facade? “Well. So, you’re going to see your mom?”“I can’t leave you alone.” He sighed and looked at me. “So, go downstairs and sit down quietly. I have some work to do.” “I can take care of myself. You should go.”He ignored my words and left for his room anyway. I sighed and went downstairs. I remembered that I saw his password one time when he used it to open his phone. I wasn’t trying to steal his personal information — but I have the right to confirm that I am the only one he kidnaps. Ha! I smiled to myself thinking about all those moments. He is just so cute; I can’t believe that I am actually here with him. I mean… What do I have that is so special? I guess I will never know. “I’ll just work here,” I heard him say while he brought his laptop downst
Evie“Who was she?” I asked as I sat down on the bed.He looked at me with confusion. “What do you care about?”“Well, I am getting married to you.”He smirked. “I thought this was, and I will quote ‘kidnapping with permission’?”I rolled my eyes. “It sure is. I just want to make sure I am the only one you kidnap.”He chuckled. “Wow, you’re interesting.”“I know right. And I am so damn beautiful. Ain’t I, Damien?”His gaze shifted to my lips for a second, as if reminiscing our last encounter, and then he looked away. “Yeah, beautiful chicks dig me.”I raised my eyebrow. “Why is that plural?”“Why are you jealous?” He looked at me again and I sighed.Well
Evie“But I guess you have to get ready to call me Damien.”I looked at him as my thoughts went all over the future. I was ready to be married to him — after all, that was the condition in exchange for my safety. But I didn’t imagine anything else than marriage.I didn’t imagine the thrill. I failed to think what I would be going through if I do that — how hard would it be to not fall for this bastard.He sighed and took a step back. “I’ve thought about it for a while but all the plans I made seem to fail.”I looked at him.“I don’t think I have much of a choice anymore. I will set the wedding day soon. All the preparations will be done. To avoid any backlashes, the wedding will be done as a grand one.”I slowly nodded my head. “But—”
