"And it's because of the way you run your mouth like tap water made you look ugly more than a gorilla." She insulted before the men could descend on her.
*********
But she was able to run out before they could get to her side.
"F*ck! Those stupid people that Sir Damien called business partners." She groaned and removed her heels to start walking on barefoot.
She almost at her hotel room when she heard two men speaking.
"Okay, are you sure the goods are going to work? What if he check them before leaving?" One of the men said while Kimberly hid herself well from them and continued to hear their conversation.
Someone she was engrossed and she sensed that they must be talking about her boss. And it was finally confirmed when she heard one of them say,
"Damien can't check those goods. We will have to do our best for him not to open it. Anyways, when you guys are sharing the goods, the one with cocaines is at the left.
Be the first to choose the one at the right, okay? And you're going to pay me a huge amount of money for it. I don't know your hatred towards him but I'm happy to be part of this."
"That's okay for now. Who knows someone might hear us. I actually want his business down completely but slowly. He's kind of smart and might play tricks." The man who seem to be the Canadian boss Damien had been waiting for.
"Yeah, let's go back to the meeting. I'm sure he must be dying to see me." The boss laughed and they both walked away.
Kimberly appeared instantly and was about to walk away too but she was called back by them.
She flinched but turned anyway.
"Yes, how may I help you?" She tried not to stammer.
"Uhm, are you one of the staffs here?" One of them asked as he flashed his set of teeth to her.
"No, I'm not. I came with someone for business." She answered.
"Ohh! I mistook you for a staff here. Bye. You look beautiful too. Do you mind if I have your number?"
'F*ck! What's wrong with this man?' She said to herself.
"No! I need to go. My boss need me." She quickly turned to leave.
Kimberly got to her room and sat down on the bed without hesitating.
She looked around with a smile but it ended with a scream when she saw Damien standing in between the curtains.
"What the hell are you doing in my room....Sir Damien?" She shrieked at his sight.
What's he thinking? Did he enter the room by mistake or what? That's not it. His room was different from hers.
Damien kept quiet and sat down on the sofa with his legs crossed.
"You shouldn't be in my room sir." Kimberly tried to gain his attention again but he wasn't looking. She continued, "Me and you in the same room is really awkward." She added.
"Are you afraid that I might rape you?" He finally spoke.
"What!?! You won't even dare.....I mean that can't happen sir. I know you're not a rapist." She calmed herself down.
Damien didn't answer her instead, he put his head on the table and slept off.
Kimberly wondered why he'd be here but since she won't be getting an answer, she slept off in her bed.
It was 6pm, Kimberly woke up but couldn't find Damien in the room again.
'Maybe he's back to his room' She thought.
But she was wrong when Damien came out from the bathroom with his wet hair but thank God he has his bathrobe on with a towel around his neck.
"S..sir, are you trying to seduce me in my own room?" Kimberly asked amused that he had a bath in her own hotel room.
Damien frowned at her question but he answered her. "I don't seduce ladies rather they seduce me to sleep with them or date them."
"Why are you really In my room?"
"Well, some workers are in there to fix the mess in the room. Especially, the bathroom. I was told they will fix the room while they fix the bathroom tomorrow and there's no way I can't sleep without taking a bath! Then, I remembered that I have a crazy secretary that can let me use hers." He answered.
"And you stayed hours in this room......."
"Don't you dare ask any questions again!!" He fired immediately. "No more word from you till we leave fool. We are leaving soon. I canceled my plans to stay longer." He breathed out and that was when they heard a knock.
"Come in." Kimberly ordered.
A staff came in and turned to Damien immediately, "Your room is fixed and we manage to do the bathroom together." She spoke and left with a bow.
"See you tomorrow, Secretary Kim. We are leaving tomorrow." Damien walked out not wanting to her reply.
***********************
The next day, Kimberly was ready to leave with his boss when she remembered that she has to tell him what that supplier and Canadian boss said about him.
As soon as she got outside her room. She met her boss too.
"Good morning, Sir." She greeted.
"Save the greeting, Kimberly. There's nothing good about this morning. Anyway, let's go to the business partners maybe they must have come back to their senses."
He walked away from her.
Oh! She's going to face those creepy fools again.
******************
Luckily, Damien met the Canadian boss whose name was Fred Bryan. Gosh! Kimberly could notice his fake smile at her boss. She kept looking and focusing on the supplier who look innocent as ever.
'What a pretense!' She scoffed.
"I'm sorry about yesterday. My workers told me everything and it's too surprising that she's your secretary." Fred pointed to Kimberly before giving her a seductive smile.
"Good to know that. I'm leaving today and I will like to say I'm no longer interested in the goods again. Maybe next time."
"You're no longer what!?" Fred exclaimed.
"Are you that surprised? You shouldn't be. You were supposed to be present yesterday and you know I don't take sh*t! Whatever you're going to say, I don't give a f*ck!" He gave him a scornful look and left Fred to himself.
Kimberly smirked and ran to catch up with him.
"I was about to say something about them. I heard them saying they put some cocaines in some of the goods they'd be giving you."
Damien stopped at Kimberly's word and turned to her.
"What did you just say?" He arched his brows.
But it seems Kimberly has been carried away. She was staring at the man from afar who was holding a pregnant woman's waist.
"Nathan?" She said in shock.
The man she has been looking for.
But it seems Kimberly has been carried away. She was staring at the man from afar who was holding a pregnant woman's waist."Nathan?" She said in shock.The man she has been looking for.********************Damien looked at the direction she was looking at."Who's Nathan?" He asked, facing her."My fiance. We are getting married in two weeks time." Kimberly explained."Married?!" Damien shrieked. He didnt even know why."You're getting married? Wow! I never thought you'd be getting married at that young age." He scoffed."Sir! I'm twenty-three! I'm old enough to get married." She frowned."I need to check if that's him or not. He can't possibly be with another when he should be preparing for our wedding. Or maybe the woman is Nathan' sister.""Don't be dumb. He's holding the woman's waist and can
Damien looked down, his hands was covered with blood and he realized that Kimberly had released his shirt. She wasn't moving at all.He raised his head to the girls and said, "Call the ambulance immediately" They obeyed.******************The ambulance arrived and took Kimberly away."That son of a b*tch!" Damien growled before entering his car and drove out of the church.Anita and Chloe had followed the ambulance.The doctors kept treating Kimberly till few hours passed and one of them came out before the another one came out with two nurses."How's she, doctor?" Anita stood up immediately the doctors came and ran to one of them while Chloe followed her."The surgery went well. But she's still unconscious. In the next two hours, I'm sure she will wake up."The doctor explained and left.
"No! Don't involve any police. She's just going through emotional stress or something. I will find her." Damien spoke and left the room.'I shouldn't involve myself into this. But I can't stay and watch my secretary dying.' Damien thought.Damien sighed as soon as he got out of the hospital.Where did his secretary go to? Where is he going to find her?He took out his phone and dialed one of her friend's number which he'd collected hours ago. Both Chloe amd Anita's number."Is this Anita?" He knitted his brows waiting for an answer."Yes. This is Anita. Who am I speaking with?" She drawled. Her voice sounds like a tired one."It's Damien. Kimberly's Boss.""Oh my! The hot angel....sorry, I know you're looking for Kimberly but I don't think she's in her right mind to see anyone." She responded.
He'd wanted to go to that beach but he just can't.His phone rang and he checked the caller.It was Clara.At first, he didn't want to pick it but he finally did."What the hell did you want again? I thought I told you to stay away from me.""Damien, calm down, will you? I just wanted to ask how you're doing." Clara answered."Okay. I'm doing good okay? Now, can you leave me alone? I need to rest my ass out right now and I don't need any disturbance." He rolled his eyes."Fine. I will hang up. But please, take care of yourself, huh? And get enough rest too. I love you, Damien." Her voice sound so soft at the last part.Somehow, it made Damien cool down."Thank you. Good night and sleep well too." He replied calmly and unknowingly he'd put a smile on her face because of those words he said to h
Damien flew up to catch Kimberly but she ran away. And that was when they heard a knock.The pizza man is here."Who's there?" Kimberly asked as she walked to the door and opened it."Ohh! The pizza and coke. Boss, the man is here." She told her boss.Damien came and paid for the pizza then shut the door before turning to Kimberly."Sir, you're not going to beat me right? I'm too old to receive a beating from someone." She pouted."I wasn't going to do that. I was only looking at you so you could hand me the pizza." He stretched his hand out to receive the pizza while she held the coke."You can join me if you want.""I ate not too long. I don't want to get fat by eating too much." She answered and opened the coke to drink."I didn't give you permission to drink that!" Damien uttered.He got up and grabb
At Night,Damien looked at Kimberly sleeping on the small couch peacefully. But she seems to be uncomfortable on it.She had slept off while they were watching movie.'Should I take her inside or leave her in this uncomfortable manner?' He asked himself.What's this sudden connection between him and her? Whatever it is, it's too fast. Too sudden.He bent down to carry her bit he stopped again.Why's he here in the first place? To the extent of staying with his secretary till night.And he will be sleeping in this house?He scoffed with a smile. "First time! Really first time in years that you're going to sleep in someone's house instead of your own house or hotel. What's wrong with you Damien?"Kimberly moaned from her sleep distracting Damien's thought.He looked at her one more time and carried her to hee bedroom th
Damien left Kimberly's house at 11:30am. He got home removed his sweater then shoes before landing on the bed."I slept this late?!" He asked. This is still shocking to him.He even slept soundly without nightmares. That's great! Really great.He even lost his flight which was supposed to take off at 7am and the Demo construction company by 10am.That silly secretary spoiled everything.His phone rang and he removed it from the pocket and answered the phone."What is it, again?" He groaned at the caller. Claire."Am I disturbing you this morning?" She replied with her soft voice."Kind of." He rolled his eyes."I'm sorry. I came to your house yesterday and couldn't find you. Even this morning. You're neither at home or at work? What happened? Did you go somewhere?" She as
"Ste......Steven? How...did..yo....." She stuttered.How did he know she's in Germany? How did he find her? How?"Did you miss me, step sis?" Steven's smirk was replaced with a grin, offering his hand out to help her up."Don't be afraid, darling. I'm not here to harm you." He added with sincerity in his eyes.Kimberly still can't trust him even with those sincere eyes. He had done that many times without number when she was still leaving with the fool and his father. With those eyes, he'd beat her badly, slam her to the wall or even throw her to the bed and would nearly rape her but his father did come to his rescue and tell him to calm down.It was a wish come true when she escaped from the wrath of her wicked stepfather and brother. That was the first time she had happiness, joy and relief since her mother died.Kimberly got up by hersel
Daniel brought Emily to Alexandro and turned to leave.Alex grabbed Emily by her hair and made hr face him. He grinned at the swollen face of the girl."You must be enjoying you stay here." Her uncle grinned at her and pulled her hair the more.Emily feared her hair will be out of her head soon."I hate you, Aren't you shameless? Doing this to your own niece?" Emily spat"I love doing this. And it is better you shut your damn mouth or i will have to do that for you. I will make sure i collect every damn property that belongs me from your brother. You two don't deserve to live anyway. I will make hell for you two.""No damn property of ours belongs to you. Why are you this greedy that you had to make your own daughter and son suffer like this?""Hey, don't try to be pitiful here. You or Damien are never my children. I don't even see you as one." Alex frowned and eventually released her hair.Emily breathed out and glared at him. "No wonder you
"Alright, but don't close your eyes okay? If you do I will be scared to death. Don't just do this to me and keep breathing." If they could check on Damien's heart rate, if possible it could have gone to 200%.He looked at the glass and saw a man with a long gun trying to aim again at their direction.Who sent this man? What's he doing? Why did he want to kill him and even his Secretary?He could clearly see the red dot on his chest too. The man in black was about to shoot him too.Damien quickly got up with Kimberly in his hands and tried to rush to the door. Before he could do that, he was shot on his arm instead of the chest.He almost dropped Kimberly on the floor but he stood his ground and carried her more properly.He would protect this innocent girl from any harm. These people are after him and now they included his Secretary.Damien felt the pain in his arm that he was using the remaining strength in him to carry Kimberly and run away from
The lady raised her head and it was Clara. Kimberly gulped down and forced out a smile. She dropped the cake in her hands and stepped back."H..How did you know it my birthday today?" Damien asked. He didn't stop staring at her."Mr Ben told me it going to be your birthday today." Kimberly answered. "I..I..I have to go now. I can see you have visitor. I shouldn't have bothered myself to come." She said again and ran out of the office.Immediately, she closed the door behind her, Kimberly sighed and dropped herself to the ground."I shouldn't have come to the office. And me thinking he's going to be alone and I will be the one to stay by his side all night. You're such a silly girl."She had the thought whether to go back home or stay. It already getting late. She carried herself up and walked to her small table then sat down."Maybe I shou
"I will advise we take things easy, Sir Damien.""Take what things easy?" Damien scoffed. "All i need is to be careful and find every fucking way to get my sister from that monster and put him and his damn men into jail."Kimberly nodded and got up from her seat, prepared to leave but Damien stopped her."Are you recieving any threats from your stepfather?" He glanced at her.He still care and asked about how she's fairing?"No. I did not recieve any." She answered."J..just needed to ask. If he trys anything stupid, do not hesitate to tell me. Call me Mr Ben. There will be three days holiday starting from Tuesday. Inform all staffs about this." Damien told her."Why sudden three days holiday?" Kimberly was surprised to hear that. What's he planning to do? Why the sudden holiday?
Kimberly rushed into the ward Steven was receiving treatment and ran to him. She'd heard about the news from Damien. Steven had ask Damien to call Kimberly to come see her. Damien hesitated at first but later, he'd call Kimberly. "Oh my God! Who did this to you?" Kimberly winced as if she was the one who got hurt. "Some assassins. The doctors said I will be fine soon. I just came out of surgery two days ago." Steven answered her. "You mean you've been shot few days ago and you didn't bother to call me? Or was my boss hesitating to tell me?" "No, I called him yesterday. Could you get my cloth in my car?" He asked. "What if I didn't come?" "I was going to send the nurse." Steven smiled. "Alright." Kimberly agreed. "When I come back, you will tell me wh
Gerald sighed and shook his head before sipping another wine from his glass. "I should have know that he's a bastard all along" He mumbled.He thought of what happened earlier at Dam-Ton Company. The two seems to be close to each other. Probably be in a relationship or something. No, it doesn't look like they are in a relationship.But whatever it is, he still own Kimberly no matter what.*********************Damien paid for the food and helped Kimberly up from her seat. Seeing her like this, she can't go home alone. And who says he's going to let her go home by herself.What if some boy tries to do something awful to her?What's this feeling? Why did he Carr for her so much than anyone he knew around him? Not even Mr Ben or Clara receive so much care like this from him."I can go home myself, thank you for today." Kimberly interrupted h
"Are you feeling any better or we should just go somewhere else? Do you like this place?" Damien asked, seeing the way Kimberly wasn't relaxed.Maybe she didn't like the place. He won't hesitate to take her to another place."No, Sir Damien. I'm fine. I'm just nervous." Kimberly answered."Nervous about what? That you're going to eat with me? This isn't the first time you will be eating with me." Damien frowned before he chuckled and stopped the waiter passing.He ordered for the both of them and continue talking."I'll be canceling the contract. The one I had with your stepfather." He said.Kimberly snapped her head up and looked at him."Uhm...Sir, you don't have to do that. I mean it was my brother that brought the contract not him. Don't cancel the contract. Just make it look like it's my brother you signed the contract with." Kimberl
Chapter Thirty ThreeGerald watched in awe as Damien patted his stepdaughter's head.What the fûck is going on? Are the two dating or....He scoffed seeing them and rolled his eyes.Steven at the other end was a little surprised. The cocky boss hugging a secretary? There must be something behind that but Steven ignored that for now and faced his father.How could he be so stupid to act like that in oublicr and now, they just lose the contract they've been pursuing for a year and half months."Why are you looking at me like that?" Gerald glared at his son."You just behave like an impotent man, dad." Steven spat and walked out of the reception.He was careful not to lose this deal with Dam-Ton Company but his father ruined everything upon setting his eyes and laying his filthy hand on Kimberly."Are you still here or you want me to call the
Thirty TwoSteven heaved as he walked behind his father. Why is he even trying to hide his stepsister from his father? Like he said to here the other day, he isn't like his father even though he did joined his dad in maltreating her.He shook his head and adjusted his tie. He didn't want to go there now."Are you really keeping something away from me? I know the boss is in there but why did you had.....""He isn't there. He went out." Stevn cut him off. His father is really a suspicious person."How did you know? You told me you're meeting him at this time. Ah! I forgotthe kind of person he is." Gerald scoffed and walked faster to the car packed outside the company."Sir! Sir! Are you done with the meeting already with the secretary?" Mr Ben said, coming out of his car too to meet them."There's no meeting. I didn't even meet the secretary or the boss.
