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

    Chapter Fifty-twoLana stood and looked around at the startled shareholders, with blazing green eyes. 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

    Chapters Fifty-ThreeDamien relaxed fully in his chair and glared fiercely at Mr Alan. 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. A muscle twitched in Damien's jaw as he heard what she'd said but he ig

    Chapter Fifty-Four"Why'd you do that?" Lana asked puzzedly after some time.They were alone in the boardroom, waiting for Liam to be done with some paperwork. The shareholders were already gone and Lana already signed the contract. The fact that she was getting fifty percent shares of MAGIC was only known to Damien and Liam.The other shareholders were oblivious to this. If they'd known that Damien had easily given out fifty of his sixty percent of shares of MAGIC, they'd try to get it from her in every possible way, like a pack of bloodthirsty hounds."Do what?" Damien asked, fixing Lana an innocent stare."Kick out one of your top shareholders!" Lana retorted, exasperated at the situation.Hell, MAGIC needs all the investments that it could get at the moment, and he was kicking a shareholder out impulsively?While it felt good that he'd done that for her, it was still a stupid thing to do, and she told him so.Damien shrugged, nonchalantly, his broad shoulders rippling beneath his

That red haired bitch had appeared again!"This piece of news caused Rina to scowl fiercely at the masseuse, who was working on her body at that moment.The poor woman quickly removed her hand from her body and shied away from her in fright as Rina sat up on the massage table, her cell phone clutched tightly to her ear.A red haired bitch? There was only one that would come to mind, who had the ability to ignite her murderous instincts and that was Lana.She had appeared again? Did Damien already sign the contract with her?She listened to Claudia rant on about the woman the CEO had brought in, and who was now the new head of their design team.Rage boiled through her as she ended the call, "Get me my clothes!" She screamed at the cowering masseuse, who jumped and scurried out of the room to carry out her order."That little bitch, I won't let her get

He muttered to himself, "There's so much to be done, Damien. Focus." He could not help losing focus as his mind always inadvertently went to one person: Lana The fact that she was right here in his company at such a close range made him giddy with joy, and he could not sit still.He frowned, as he wondered if it'd be too much to have her desk moved close to his own office, perhaps right outside his own, so he could see her anytime he wanted."No, she'd probably just give me that dead eye stare, and ask me to fuck off," he muttered, angry with himself for thinking such, "Let's just take things slow for now."He was seriously contemplating this, when the door to his office opened and Liam strode right in."We replaced Miss Fernandez des

That was not what she should be concerned with for now.Right now, she was concerned with what had just happened back inside the design team office.Something was wrong.Something was definitely wrong.Something about the way Lana had whispered in her ears. It held an ominous tone that she could not shake off. It almost sounded like Lana knew something.But that was literally impossible.If she knew about the plan to take over Ludovic, then she'd not still be with...Rina took a deep breath, trying to calm her nerves.

    Chapter Fifty-EightThe shrill sound of the phone echoed on the rooftop, and Rina hesitated, biting her bottom lip in anger.She did not want to pick up his call. She was definitely not in the mood for some ass chewing.Her finger hovered above the answer icon, her mood becoming sour at the thought of hearing his insults once more.Why was he calling anyway?He had his sources and already knew what was happening in MAGIC. Yet, he called her at any opportunity to remind her of her incapability.This thought made her grit her teeth in fury, as the phone continued ringing, its ringing tone, a shrill reminder of the derision to come.However, the thought that he was watching her through the hole of a sniper rifle, made her jolt back to her senses and she quickly swiped on the icon."What?" She snarled into the phone, already trembling with fear and annoyance, but she still managed to keep the tremors out of her voice."You were demoted?" The voice asked calmly."Wait what?

She replied, in a lowered voice, "I need some alone time. I want to be by myself for some time."Vera sighed, "Alright then, go on." She saod and Rina climbed out of the car with great relief. As she walked towards the entrance of the house, Vera lowered the window pane and called out to her, "Don't even think about getting funny ideas, dear. I'll call at the house later this evening, okay?"Rina gave her a warm smile and waved her along, "Okay Vera, I'll see you soon." She uttered softly, and as the car drove away with a cloud of dust, Rina's smile slowly faded away, and in its place, came a nasty scowl. "Ugh, she's so annoying, geez." She uttered, shuddering dram

She cracked, suddenly apprehensive. She swallowed hard and looked at Vera once more, "It's just that you've never asked about my family, so..."She trailed off, giving Vera a knowing look and Vera laughed lightly, "No dear. I never asked about them because I didn't want you to be uncomfortable." She replied Rina, "And besides, Damien liked you despite your family's influence, that's why I decided to just let things lie low."Rina also laughed nervously and nodded her head, "Oh ok. Well, that's okay, Mother." She said, trying to reassure the older woman, "Just continue to keep things lying low."Vera shook her head to Rina's chagrin, "No dear. Now is

Soon, the driver brought Vera's car round to the entrance of the lobby, and only then did the security guards let go of the women."Let go of me," Madam Vera struggled one last time, just as they let go of them. She turned to glare at the security guards who still stood behind them, waiting for the woman to get into their cars.Vera stretched back her hands and gave them both slaps across their faces. The men did not flinch and their grave expression remained the same, even with the red welt marks on their cheeks."Please, get into the car, ma'am." A body guard said, giving Vera a serious look. The other glanced at the driver, who came round to open the car door for them."Lowlife bastards," Vera swore under her breath, glaring at the security guards with hate.

The fact that she had such influence to the extent that, she'd gotten Rina fired was still mindblowing.No one would dare to cross her from now on, especially now that they knew the CEO was solidly behind her. He even escorted his mother out of the premises for her.Lana sat behind her desk and only then did she ask them to sit with a curt nod of her head. The employees sat down clumsily, shifting uncomfortably under Lana's scrutinizing gaze.Claudia and the rest of Rina's minions felt the most uncomfortable. They could not even raise their heads to look at Lana. Instead, they fiddled with their keyboards or thumbs or bag straps or the pile of papers on their desks.All the while praying that Lana does not call them out. Even though they hated her, they still loved their jobs and wanted to keep it. Rina was gone, so there was no use acting up in front of Lana.L

She struggled fiercely once more, and managed to wrench herself free from the men, who were a bit surprised by her strength. They had let her go, because it seemed like Vera would hurt herself any moment with the way she was struggling.She stood arms akimbo and faced Lana, "You bitch, what are you saying?! You want Rina fired, after everything she's done for MAGIC?!" She yelled at her, "Do you think I don't know what's going on? You're trying to throw out the rightful owner and take Rina's glory!" She then turned to face Damien, saying fiercely, "How long are you going to believe her? Can't you see how evil she is?!"Damien was silent, ignoring his mother's outburst.

Lana said suddenly as she walked back to Diego, and examined his face once more. The sight of his bleeding lips made her grit her teeth in anger. She turned back to Vera and said coldly, "I won't let you get away with this too, Vera."Vera eyed her in annoyance, "What?!""This is assault." Lana said, simply, "You dared to hit a person to the extent that you left a mark on their skin." She smiled tightly, "You have to pay for that."Vera scoffed, "You must be out of your mind!" She spat out, unable to believe what she was hearing. She sniffed haughtily and looked down her nose at Lana, "I was only teaching your lowlife assistant a lesson.

Mada Vera shrieked in a tremulous voice, "Don't you know who you're talking to?!"Lana was trembling with rage. She looked from Diego's reddened cheek and bleeding lips, and it only seemed to add more fuel to the inferno that was raging within her."You nasty old hag, how dare you touch him?!"

The question she'd asked him rang in his ears over and over again "Is CEO Damien your boss that you take orders from him?"He was sure he'd heard some traces of hurt in her voice. Diego groaned at that possibility. He could not believe he was such a coward in front of the person who had treated his mistress so badly when she was in RomeroIt was just that Damien's aura was too domineering and Diego still feared him.If it weren't for Miss Lana being in the Romero Villa, Diego wasn't sure he'd ever have gotten the opportunity to look Damien in the face.That was how high up he was.The elevator dinged behind him and he turned to it sharply, his eyes lit with hope, "Miss Lana?!"

If not, why all these delay in signing the papers?"You said you had the papers here." She said, giving him a right smile, "Why trouble ourselves and take it to the office?"Damien shrugged, "So we can meet my lawyer there," he replied and walked past her to grab his jacket which was on the chair next to where he'd been sitting, and draped it over his shoulders, "He can be our witness as well."He finished buttoning the jacket and gave her a cocky smile, as she watched him puzzledly.What he'd said made sense .Perhaps, he was not playing tricks after all?"I can only know that when I sign the papers," she reminded herself, then raised her nose haughtily at him, before saying outloud.
