Chapter Forty-five

"We are here, CEO," Diego said as he quietly manuevered the sleek Bentley in front of the remarkable skycraper that housed the offices of MAGIC.

He turned off the engine, and sat in silence watching Lana who was staring at the building with an impassive expression.

"Ma'am, if you don't want to do this, there's no need for you to," he said, his words laced with concern.

Lana turned her dead eye stare on him. The fact that he thought she was hesitating, because she did not want to work with MAGIC made her bristle with annoyance.

He was so far from the truth

She was only hesitating, because of the anger coursing through her veins, and also because she wears admiring the building that she knows would come to be hers later.

She grabbed her purse on the seat beside her and pushed the car door open, saying tersely, "Come out and stop saying rubbish." Diego nodded, making a mental note to keep his mouth shut concerning matters like this in the future.

They moved briskly to

    Chapter Forty-SixFrom his desk inside his own station, in Damien's office, Liam could hear the conversation going on between his boss and his Ex-wife. He raised his eyebrows, and whistled quietly, as the words Lana had said floated to him.Fifty percent of MAGIC'S shares?!That was a lot. It was like taking ownership of MAGIC. Although, there was nothing left of MAGIC. If Miss Fernandez was really the CEO of ALLURE, and even recommended by Pierre, then she'd really be able to turn things around for MAGIC.Liam wondered how his boss was going to extricate himself out of this. He wished Damien would call him, so he would be able to go in there and read the room properly, but for now, he waited patiently, straining his ears and watching the intercom for any call.Damien stared at Lana, his brows furrowed slightly, "you've got to be kidding me." He said, tightly."I don't play games, Mr Romero," Lana replied coolly, as she leaned back on her chair, "it's like you don't know the situatio

He had a smug expression on his face as he continued, "ALLURE is the only company to have contracted Muse. I'll give you that fifty percent shares if you get her to design for MAGIC too."Lana blinked in amusement. Her lips twitched as laughter bubbled up inside her but she quickly composed herself, trying hard to keep a straight face.She squared her chin, and nodded in agreement, "Fine, you'll also get the services of Muse." Diego snorted in laughter behind her and he quickly started coughing to cover it up, as Lana gave him a quelling look.She cleared her throat, and smiled tightly at Damien, who was watching them, an eyebrow arched suspiciously.He found Diego's behavior odd, and Lana had agreed a bit too fast to his condition. Even though Muse had worked with ALLURE, that was thre

    Chapter Forty-EightRina ran onto the circular driveway right in front of the building, just in time to see the Bentley driving away, leaving clouds of dust in its wake."Arrghh!" She screamed in outrage and stomped a heeled foot on the concrete floor in anger. "Lana, you freaking bitch!" She screeched through gritted teeth, watching the car drive further away from her sight, it's tail lights blinking in what seemed like a mockery of her inability to catch up with them.She was trembling visibly with anger as she turned to go back into the building. She paused, then snarled when she saw some of the employees staring out at her, through the glass walls of the building.Their gazes were mocking and she could see them snickering, while whispering to each other."Those brainless idiots! Haven't they got anything better to do?!" Rina thought furiously as she matched right into the building, yelling, "What the hell are you looking at, huh?!" The employees scurried away out of her sight, wh

    Chapter Forty-NineWhen the call ended, Rina collapsed to the ground in fear and relief. She gripped the phone tightly, tears of anger burning in her eyes."How dare he treat me like this?!" She muttered bitterly. She felt powerless, like a pawn in his game, and she hated it.She was not supposed to be here, living life like this, driven by revenge and anger. She deserved so much better and she'd been so close.So close that she could feel it, touch it and even taste it. Every calculated step had produced result which pushed them closer to their goals. She'd gotten the man and was so close to getting the Empire too.But it had all crashed down, without her knowing how. Now, she was cowering on a rooftop, afraid of her own partner blowing her brains out from an unknown location."How? How on Earth had things go wrong?!" Rina hit the concrete floor repeatedly in anger, and frustration, until her knuckles bled.She closed her eyes, and drew in a deep breath. "I don't know how things wen

    Chapter Fifty"Are you really going to go ahead with the contract sir, if Miss Fernandez gets Muse's approval?," Liam asked a few days later as he drove them to the Romero headquarters.Due to the state of MAGIC, and the investors impatience, any update on any improvement was to be shared with the investors immediately, so as to pacify them.Which was why they were currently on their way to Romero Headquarters for a meeting. Liam manuevered the sleek Maybach through the traffic, keeping his eyes on the road as he waited for Damien's answer.Seeing that the answer was not forthcoming as quickly as he thought, he glanced quickly at Damien through the rearview mirror, then returned his gaze hastily to the road.Damien was sitting very straight backed on the leather seats behind, one hand crossed across his chest. He rested his other elbow on it, and held his head in his hand. His eyes were closed, seemingly in deep thought.Liam wondered if he'd even heard his question, and decided to n

    Chapter Fifty-oneThere was a general murmur at these words, as the shareholders all turned to stare at the person who spoke.It was a burly middle aged man, named Mr Alan, who sat to the far end of the table. Mr Alan was one of the very shareholders who was with MAGIC when it started.He was an avid supporter of Laura and was one of the shareholders that was glad MAGIC was in such situation.He relaxed in his chair after speaking. There was a smug expression on his face and a taunting look in his eyes, as he stared at Damien. Many of the other shareholders were amazed at his audacity. Even though he was a loyal supporter of Laura, he had sounded extremely rude, and dared to go against Damien, even with his temper.Damien's temper was not to be trifled with. He was not feared across the city for nothing. His stoic expression and steel grey eyes normally brought wrath on anyone who dared to go against him. Mr Alan must have lost his mind, thinking he could challenge Damien just becaus

They all had a surprised and puzzled expression on their faces, as they did not know who the young woman was, that she'd strode in so boldly into the boardroom.Without another moments hesitation, Lana turned on her heels and walked down the hall towards where Damien sat.Damien was silent as he watched her approach, mesmerized by the sight before him.Lana was wearing a short black gown which hugged her amazing slim, curvy figure in all the right places. The gown stopped a few inches above her knees, showing just a glimpse of her slim thighs, before this scrumptious sight was caught off by high-heeled boots, which was knee high.Her flaming red hair was let down over her shoulders , a sharp contrast to the black dress she was wearing and she'd only applied minimal makeup, making her as exquisitely beautiful as possible.The shareholders were not just stunned by her beauty only but al

He had managed to grow seeds of doubts in the minds of the other shareholders.This was something he could not condone."Mr Alan, you seem to have a problem with the CEO of ALLURE working with us," he said icily, asking the odious man so he could be sure of what to do next.Mr Alan shrugged nonchalantly. There was a triumphant glint in his eyes as he felt he'd succeeded in making the CEO falter."I do not have a problem with the CEO of ALLURE working with MAGIC," he answered smugly, the cast a direct stare at Lana, "I have a problem working with impostors like this so called CEO!"He finished this sentence, making quotation marks in the air when he said the word "CEO". He was clearly mocking Lana.Lana scoffed, as a small smirk curved her lip, "Your shareholders are really sensible," she muttered, her tone dripping with sarcasm.

Pushing the bed aside from the wall, Damien ran his hands all over the wall the way he had seen Lana do in the footage.He let out an erratic breath as the wall opened up in front of him and Paul. It even seemed more ominous than it had in the footage.Takong out his cellphone, he activated his flashlight, illuminating the whole of the passageway."Mother of pearls." Paul muttered in astonishment as they stared into the long dark space.It was a freaking passageway.Why had Lana walked into the wall? No matter how much Paul thought about it, he thought it was extremely brave of the young miss, especially since she did not know what was on the other side of this passageway.Without further ado, Damien bounded into the wall."Romero!" Paul called out after him but Damien did not stop. He kept running down the passageway, till he turned a corner and went out of sight.This was becoming more crazy, Paul th

    Chapter One Hundred And Eighty-SixDamien stood in the middle of the white little room and looked around in quiet disgust.The fact that Lana had been in this place all along had filled him with so much fury that he felt like tearing the walls down with his fists.That thought was fueled by the fact that she was nowhere to be found. They had arrived Monero a little over six hours ago. Monero was only accessible through a port and when the men had arrived there, it was already quiet late.Rina had finally revealed the locations of Zaire's villa in Moreno and even though it irked Damien to grant her anything in return, he had to fulfill her request for Lana's sake."Your little informant had better be correct, Romero." Paul had said earlier on the boat, "The Young Miss had better be in Monero when we get there or you will face Fernandez's wrath."Damien had been silent, even though impatience hummed in his blood.He knew she was in Moreno.She had to be in Monero.He wondered what he w

Anila said urgently as she walked into the corridor and pressed the button on the wall, watching with bated breath until the shelf slid back into place.She turned to Adrian then, "What about the young Miss?" She asked as she walked past him, "Is she okay?""Screw the young miss." Adrian spat out loudly in anger as they both entered the small room, "What the hell is going on? Who the hell were those men?!"Adrian was clearly frustrated. He did not mean to yell and rarely lost his cool, but he was pissed with what just happened a few moments ago in his own house.Anila sighed, "if you will only let me explain, then I will. Stop yelling at me." She reprimanded him as she walked over to Lana.Lana was huddled on the bed, cowering under the bed covers in fear. She and Adrian had stayed back in the room when Anila had gone out.She had been trembling and whimpering in fear as they heard the men ransacked the room, while Adrian pace

Another yell came and this time it was accompanied by a solid thump, like a vicious kick to the door."What the hell? Who knocks like that?" Adrian said, frowning in annoyance. He was about to walk towards the door when Anila stopped him."No Adrian! Don't go." She called out to him, holding out a hand to stop him.Adrian looked from the door to his mother, "What?" He asked, his confusion becoming more apparent. Lana exchanged a frightened glance with Anila, who was calmer actually.She patted Lana's hand then stood up and walked towards the door."I will go out and meet them" She said calmly to Adrian."Excuse me?" Adrian asked, arching an eyebrow at that state

The next instant, they widened with joy and relief."You're awake! Oh thank heavens!" She said as she rushed towards Lana and took both of her hands in hers, "I knew you'd come around! Bless the heavens!"She turned to look at the red haired man, who went about his watering as calmly as before."Look Adrian, I told you she'll be fine." She said as she beamed up at Lana, because she was clearly four inches shorter than her."I know mother," The red haired guy, Adrian replied drily, "I treated her."Lana stared at him, "Treated?" She asked, eyeing the guy in surprise.He was a doctor?The middle aged woman nodded, "Adrian had found you in the forest when he went for his morning walk." She explained

    Chapter One Hundred And Eighty-TwoShe was in the forest, running with her hands stretched out in front of her as she stumbled over fallen tree logs. Her dress was torn and her knees were scraped. She was limping due to the cuts under the sole of her feet, which the cool damp earth of the forest did nothing to soothe.Yet, Lana ran.She was blinded by a film of tears and terrified gasps came out of her mouth as she stumbled through the dark forest."LANA!"He was close!He would get her and throw her back into that suffocating place. Taking control of her whole life."No, never..." Lana muttered breathlessly as she ran. The moon was hidden behind the huge rain clouds filling the sky now. Now, and then, lightening cracked through the sky, sending a flash of white through the forest.The rumbling of thunder will follow soon after and it made Lana shriek and shudder in terror as she ran.No! No! Stay away, please!Suddenly, a hand shot out from before her and grabbed her throat tightly,

    Chapter One Hundred And Eighty-One.Lana turned sharply and looked into the darkness behind her. It seemed as though she'd heard something scream. Or was it her imagination?Imagination or not, it was definitely the cue she needed to open the fucking trapdoor. Luckily, the trapdoor wasn't locked and opened up easily before her to reveal another darkness below.Lana swallowed hard as a sudden rush of cold air hit her face. She shivered uncontrollably and willed her beating heart to calm down.This was just the same as walking into the passageway, she reminded herself, Everything will be fine. There are no snakes waiting down there.The way the wind whistled from below made her wonder how far the drop was.She laid down the trapdoor, and peered down into the hole with her torchlight. The beam flashed on a slab of wood below her, then another and another all connected with a rope.A ladder!She allowed the light of the torch to travel down until she finally saw the ground.It was not ve

    Chapter One Hundred And Eighty Zaire was still in his study with Aryan, who was making numerous calls.It really seemed like Romero was on his way to Moreno, due to the tip off that Rina had given them.Zaire regretted ever revealing this place to Rina. He had brought her here as well and a bitter taste filled his mouth, as he realized how her presence must have tainted his precious sanctuary."I really should have killed her a long time ago." He thought to himself as he downed the contents of his second glass of whiskey.Well, there was still time.He could still kill her and also give the same treatment to his beloved half-brother. A slight smile curved his lips as he relished the thought of Damien coming to challenge him on his own turf.He'd be able to come in easily but to go out will not be so easy.He also regretted the fact that he'd brought Lana to Moreno. He could have easily taken her to Italy or Cuba, but he figured they were too far away and he needed to still be able to

She expected it to open up at any moment and Zaire would walk in.She'd get caught before she even started anything and faced with more torment than she could imagine."There's no time to waste." She reminded herself as she edged closer to the wall, "Let's get out of here, Lana."Slowly, she reached out her hand to the wall and pushed it. The wall did not budge.Lana swallowed hard as her heart started beating faster once again.What the hell? Why isn't the wall opening up now?She pushed the wall again with all her might and still nothing."Okay Lana." She took in a deep breath and exhaled slowly, "Remain calm and think. We have to open this wall."She closed her eyes and tried to remember how she'd had managed to open the wall earlier that day.Her memory was fuzzy w
