Chapter Twenty-two.

At the instruction from Zaire's assistant, Diego steered the car around the dome to the second entrance which was behind it.

This was so she could avoid the press and the crowd. Lana thought that was quite okay.

She did not want to meet with the press. They could take pictures all they want when she's on the runway.

The crowd watched the limousine roll down the road and drive past them. They could not see the occupants of the car but apparently, no one thought to follow it.

Lana breathed a sigh of relief at that

"My God, the place is so full!" Clarissa said, her eyes wide with wonder "What's this, Broadway?! SERENE never had this much audience before."

"Pierre Evans be doing wonders" Lana whistled as she also stared in awe.

She could not help but feel her chest puff up with pride. She was going to be wearing a dress designed by the man who could pull such a crowd.

That was freaking awesome!

The next instant, her palms became sweaty, and her breathing ragged. She in

    Chapter Twenty-ThreeWhen Pierre Evans finished his speech, Damien was glad to see that he was in good health. He had feared the man would not want to venture into fashion designing again after so many years.But again, he had designed for SERENE, so there was no harm in trying to get him to design for other companies.When the show started, he was immediately amazed by the outfits just like everyone else."Thank God, we came out for the show. I can't believe I was going to miss this!" Vera exclaimed, her mouth open as she watched the models."Exactly, Mother. I can feel my senses tingling. I don't think I've ever seen such exquisite designs before!" Rina breathed by her side, her eyes wide as she took in every detail of the outfits being paraded by the models on the runway.Surreptitiously, she brought out her iPhone and took a few pictures, as the models went by. She caught Damien glaring at her when she looked up, and gave him a nervous smile. "Thank you so much for bringing us ou

The occupants of the huge room stared at him, their eyes wide with surprise.They wondered why the C.E.O of MAGIC was there yelling for a certain Lana.Wait, who was Lana?"Lana!" Damien yelled again, his eyes scanning every inch of the room but she was nowhere to be found.But she literally just walked in here, dammit, he thought in frustration, his hand raking his hair.How did she disappear so soon?"I must find her!" Damien was breathing hard as his head swam with those thoughts. His fingers were clenching and unclenching as he stood helpless, in the middle of the back room, with everyone else stealing surreptitious looks at him.A woman walked up to him smiling nervously. "Hello, sir". Mira said tentatively "do you perhaps need help? Maybe I can do something?""The woman in the finale dress tonight. Where is she?!" Damien asked, staring at her directly in the eyes and Mira blinked.S

Why would I want the attention of my Ex who is nothing to me?!" She said, her voice calm and mocking. She was totally enjoying seeing Rina lose control like she was currently. The little fool still thought she had feelings for Damien. "Damien can rot for all I care," she said those words staring at Damien directly and Vera snapped. "Shut up, you whore! Rina is right about everything!" She yelled, wagging a manicured finger at her "you must have planned this with the C.E.O of SERENE to embarrass my son!" "Mother, Enough!" Damien growled, his eyes closed in frustration. "Damien! What is this nonsense?!" Vera hissed, as she walked closer to him, her long black dress swishing the floor, threatening to trip her. She looked around at the crowd and spoke loudly "you're really doing this over this golddigger and lowlife?!" Damien's jaw tensed an

Even with Zaire's jacket draped over her shoulders, she was shaking terribly from the night cold and from what had just happened.Standing by the side of the tarred road, they were almost blinded by the headlights from Lana's Limo, as it rounded the corner and drove towards them.The car came to a stop in front of them and Diego jumped out of it, and went round to the owners spot to open the door.Clarissa walked in to the car and scooted over to the other side, before settling down comfortably. She bent her head and stared out at Lana, wondering why she wasn't coming in yet.Shrugging out of his suit jacket, Lana turned and handed it back to Zaire "Well then, this is it. Thanks a lot for tonight, Zaire."He looked at her sheepishly, his green eyes boring into hers "I'm sorry about what happened tonight, Lana.

Diego and Lana cried out in unison.Lana grabbed Clarissa's phone from her hands, her brows furrowed as she scrolled down reading the comments that were on the various posts.They were bashing her online, calling her a homewrecker and a troublemaker, as well as an attention whore."I bet she slept her way to wearing that finale gown!""She's not even that pretty. Rina is better than her.""Poor Rina. She's so strong. I hope she overcomes this.""I detest girls like this. I bet they are not even that interested in her. She's the one throwing herself at them!""She'd better not come between our power couple. All homewreckers should be jailed!"Lana's teeth gritted in anger as she read those comments. She was being bashed online while the real homewrecker was being pitied and praised.Ironically, nothing was said about the men who had actually been involved in the scuffle, Lana realised as a bitter taste crept into her mouth.She continued scrolling on comme

    Chapter Twenty-EightDamien stood outside the Greenville Hospital, his hands tucked deep in his pocket while the cool night air played with his golden hair.They had rushed Rina to the hospital and called the family doctor, who owned the hospital. Rina had cried in pain all along and asked Damien to stay by her side all through her treatment.It was a very tearful performance and she had refused for any treatment unless Damien held her hand.Damien had obliged her, holding her hands even though it filled him with distaste and partly because his mother was on his neck to do so.Besides, Rina looked so pale, so fragile, so helpless...She was the sister of his best friend and he'd charged him with taking care of her. This had been no problem when he'd been madly in love with her, but now it irked him when she wanted to get close to him.He wondered how he'd fallen out of love with her so quickly. She was once his everything but one of the things he hates the most was a two-faced person.

    Chapter Twenty-Nine "The Parcel...where's the parcel, Diego?!" Lana asked, her breath ragged. "It's here. It's in the car." Diego answered, his head and voice lowered. "Right on the passenger seat." Lana extricated herself from Clarissa and walked to the car. She yanked open the door of the passenger side, just as a shrill sound split air. It was the sound of her phone ringing. "Uhh.. Lana."Clarissa who was with the phone said, as she glanced at the caller ID. Lana ignored it. It was probably her dad. She'll talk to him later and besides, she was already on her way home. She reached down and picked up the box on the passenger seat with trembling hands. It was small and was a lightweight, Lana thought as she shook the box. It made a rustling sound, like papers but she couldn't really determine it. She reached for the purple band round it, when Clarrissa's voice stopped her again. "Lana!" She called urgently as the phone started ringing once more. It had rang out once. "Rissa,

Then he fell to his knees, still feeling remorseful."Oh get up, you idiot!" Clarissa snarled at him but he didn't move. Slowly, he raised reddened eyes to look at Lana, who was glaring hard at him."Do you want people to think of me as someone who maltreats their employees?" She said through clenched teeth "this is a public place. What the hell are you kneeling down for?"Immediately, he sprang to his feet, but still kept his eyes on the floor. His hands were clasped together in front of him and he looked so pitiful that Lana rolled her eyes.She stared at the black Lacquer box in front of her. It had a purple ribbon around it. Lana stared at the box for what seemed to be the longest of minutes.What was in it? What had Laura left for her?The box was small, only about a foot long and it felt light. Lana sho

His presence as well as that of Paul's, dominated the entire office. Samuel Fernandez was a big man, and when he spoke, his voice boomed across the office, bouncing off the walls."You wish to keep my daughter hostage?!" He barked, pointing a stubby finger at Damien, "Just like you did eight years ago?!""Uhm...Dad, we were married. I married him," Lana said in a small voice, "I was not exactly held hostage..." she trailed off and lowered her gaze, when her dad gave her a level look.Damien gave her an appreciative glance, then faced the chairman. "I don't wish to hold Lana hostage, nor have I ever held her hostage." He said firmly, giving the chairman a square look, "I only wish sh

She was wheezing, almost doubled over, as she made for her camry, digging in her bag for her keys. Suddenly, the screeching of car tires could be heard and Rina held her hand over her eyes, before she was blinded by the headlights of the oncoming vehicle. She jumped out of the way as well, when it seemed as though the van was after her life."Ow!" She cried out as she hit the floor hard.The van swerved to the side and came to a stop with a screech. The driver looked out his window and yelled at her."Get in!"Rina blinked in shock as she realized it was her henchman, Carlos!About time the bitch showed up!Joy lit her face and she winced in pain, trying to get up from the floor. The sound of Liam kicking the door to the parking lot open, gave her the energy and galvanized her into action.Her eyes met with his angry ones and Liam bared his teeth teeth at her, as he

The head of IT department sounded very excited.After all, a major part of the crisis had just been evaded.Yes!Damien wanted to punch the air in victory, as relief surged through him once again. Relief so powerful that it almost sent him sprawling to his knees. The others noted his change in attitude and stared at him, confused."What? What is it?" Lana asked, her voice tinged with confusion and concern, "Is everything okay?"However, Damien's lighthearted mood faded as his eyes met with that of Paul. Suspicion clouded his brows and he placed the phone back to his ear."Hold on. How did that happen?" He asked tentatively, "How were you able to recover the data?""Well sir, we could suddenly gain access to it." T

She went pale, as she realized she'd probably said more than she was supposed to.Lana stepped forward, her brows arched in suspicion, "You said you won't stop until Romero becomes like your so called Carter family." She asked, then scoffed in disbelief, "Did you have a hand in this attack, Rina?"Everyone faced Rina immediately and the woman felt attacked. She swallowed hard, feeling none of the bravado she'd had felt earlier, when she was giving her passionate speech.She should not have said what she had said, but Vera had so annoyed her, that Rina just let it all out.She sighed inwardly, as her stomach churned with fear.Zaire was going to kill her, when he discovered this."Seriously?" Vera's shrill voice broke the silence, as she pointed an accusing finger at Rina, "you are behind the attack against us?! How dare you do that?!""I..I...I don't know what you're talking abou

Do you wish to see us go down?"She glanced at Lana with a tight smile, then leaned in to whisper fiercely in her son's ears, "Just take it now that the Fernandez Empire are being nice."Damien's face hardened and he glared at Liam, "Get the guards and have them escort Mother home." He ordered grimly, and Vera's eyes widened in alarm."No!" The obnoxious woman yelled, looking prepared to dig her feet into the ground if necessary, than to allow herself dragged out like before."I will not endure such ridicule again!" She thought to herself in despair, then quickly grabbed Lana's hand."Lana dear." She called in a beseeching tone, "Please, do not listen to whatever Damien's saying. You can go ahead and ask your father to send the money."Lana yanked her hand away Vera's hold, irked by by the woman's pleading, "Please, do not touch me." She uttered st

She had to do this just in front of Paul, who was watching them with a curious and amused gleam in his eyes. But Vera didn't seem to care or know the effect she was producing She shook her head vigorously, "There's no way I will just sit and watch our company go down the drain." She cried out, then glared at him, "You can't keep me cooped up forever, Damien!"She broke down then, weeping copiously.

Instead, his eyes watched every of Paul's movement, as the tall man relaxed fully on the chair, looking right at home. The words Paul had just spoken resounded in his head once more."You want money. We'll give you money.""What do you mean by you'll give us money?" Liam asked tentatively, unsure if he had heard well."It means exactly what it means, Mr Dantes." Paul replied, drily, ignoring the subtle arch of Liam's eyebrow at the mention of his last name. He fixed the assistant a cool look, "Romero is in a tight spot right now, isn't it?"The other man, who had been quiet all along, finally drew out a sheaf of papers from his suitcase, "The Fernandez Empire is willing to give the Romero Empire five trillion dollars to get out of this crisis." He placed the papers on Damien's desk and drew back, a satisfied look on his face, "You can just sign where indicated and its all yours."Liam looked ba

Samuel Fernandez said in a greatly displeased tone, "Why do I have to give my money to something as worthless as Romero?! And you dare to ask it of me?""I know, Dad. I'm sorry." Lana said apologetically, biting her bottom lip but still her face was alight with joy and relief.He was going to do it, she was sure.He would definitely do it.It was the only thing she could do from her end here.Damien had left his breakfast hurriedly that morning after recieving a call from Liam. His face had darkened immediately, and his hands clenched into fists so tight, his knuckles went white."I'm on my way." He said, soon after and stood up from the table, grabbing his suit jacket from off his chair."I have to go, Lana." That was the only answer he gave her, at her insistent questions.When she'd arrived at the office with Damien that morning, she was met with chaos. The entire office was in a frenzy,

He was breathing hard as he raked his hand through his head, trying to process the news Liam had just told him.This was the first real emotion he'd shown since they arrived at the office that morning, and realized they were neck deep in crisis.A series of attack had hit Romero that morning. Hackers had infiltrated their systems and stolen sensitive data, trade secrets, financial records...Some of these data were placed on the dark web, while the others were still inaccessible, with the hackers demanding for a ransom of up to four hundred and fifty billion.Typical ramsomeware, but it had to come at this particular time.Some investors and customers had already gotten wind of what was happening in Romero, and how sensitive information
