Chapter Eighty-Two

"You mean to tell me, Damien gave your position to Lana?!" Vera asked, her eyes wide in disbelief as she stared at Rina, "That's impossible. Damien would never do such!"

Rina was sitting across from Vera, wearing a tearful and dejected look. She was hunched in a sofa, looking miserable.

She'd hurried over to Vera's mansion, as soon as she returned home and poured all her grievances on her ears, telling Vera of everything that happened that day in the office.

Her eyes were puffed from too much crying and her nostrils red.

Occasionally, she'd reach and wipe at her nose with a pice of tissue, which she yanked out of a tissue box by her side. But bitter tears still cascaded down her cheeks, glistening under the light of the chandelier which hung above them.

She had been crying for two hours now, since she got back from work. She was tired, but she knew she can't stop now. She had to continue playing the victim fully before Vera, so she knew rhe severity of the case..

    Chapter Eighty ThreeVera jolted as those words escaped Bella's mouth. She'd been expecting to hear Lana's name, which made her suspect she must be hearing things. It was her own ears playing tricks on her, and she'd not heard Bella well."Did you just say...Lana?" She decided to ask once more to be doubly sure. At the mention of Lana's name, Rina looked up at Vera sharply. She frowned and stood up to walk over to where Vera was sitting."Yes ma'am. He brought the Miss Lana home," Bella confirmed, "And from what I've heard, it seems like she will be staying here for a long time."Vera was infuriated. She rose to her feet, her face red with anger, "What?! Stay for a long time?!" She screeched, "Damien must be out of his mind!""What is it, Vera? What is it?" Rina asked, by her side, curiosity written all over her face.Who would be staying a long time and where? Was it Lana? She looked up at Vera impatiently, but Vera was still listening intently to the person on the other side of

    Chapter Eighty-FourThe next morning, Lana was getting ready for work when a tentative knock came on her door. "Miss, are you awake?" Yvette's soft voice came "I'm coming in."She opened the door, and was surprised to see Lana already dressed. She quickly bowed in greeting.Lana looked superb in a three-piece pink suit, with pencil tailored trousers and a white button down inner shirt. She had diamond studs on her ears and a diamond bracelet on her wrist. Her red hair was swept to the side of her face, and it complemented the suit. She had on minimal makeup, which gave her amazing features a dewy, natural look. A white channel bag was sitting on the vanity table beside the bed, which completed the look."Good morning, Yvette." Lana greeted, giving the maid a cool look."Good morning, Miss Lana," The maid replied, unnerved by Lana's expression and she averted her eyes.She was quite shy with looking Lana in the eyes after what she witnessed in the hallway last night. She knew she wa

    Chapter Eighty-FiveThere was an awkward silence at the table for a few minutes, with Lana wondering why he'd not take his mother's call.But that's none of her business now, was it?"Aren't you eating?" Damien's asked. His brows was furrowed slightly in worry, "Why? It's not to your taste?""No, no." Lana replied, shaking her head, "I've not tasted it, but I'm sure it tastes superb." As she spoke, she looked down at her plate and her mouth made a round "o", when she saw the food.Beef cutlets with a side of roasted vegetables and pasta. "Impressive." She mumbled as she took a bite of a juicy, crispy beef cutlet. They were actually her favorite, and she wondered how Damien had known about it.He was watching her now, eagerly anticipating her reaction, "Well, do you like it?" He asked, softly."It's really good," Lana replied, nodding her head in appreciation, at the rich flavour of chewy meat and vegetables that burst in her mouth with every bite she took, "Yvette's cooking is real

And so what?"She was breathing hard and trembling with fear and anger at her ruined plans, but she decided to forge on anyway."Yes, I set someone to keep tabs on you!"she continued, her words coming out in a rush, "But that's because you chose to keep yourself far away from the rest of the famiky and your fiancee! Do you know how heartbroken Rina was everyday, at your absence? Just knowing that you were fine was enough for her, which was why I did it!""Who is it? Your minion?" Damien asked, ignoring her outburst. If Rina died every night and woke up every day at his absence, it was none of his business. She was the one reason he'd left the main estate in the first place. She should deal with it. However, Vera ignored his question as well, "But it's a good thing I did, right?" She went on with a vehemence in her tone, "if I hadn't, then I wouldn't have known you disgraced our family by bringing back that sc

She calmed herself down, "He's just trying to get on your nerves."She was certain now, that Damien was playing tricks with her. 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.

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?!"

"What the..." she started saying as she turned in anger to look at the person that would dare to hold her hand back. Her eyes widened in shock when her eyes met Lana's face."Y..you.." she retorted, trying to sound firm, "What do you think you're doing?""Are you out of your freaking mind?!" Lana growled, baring her teeth at the older woman, who was stunned at her audacity."Let go of me this instant!" 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?!" She said to Vera, fiercely. The employees gathered around, all gasped at Lana's audacity. They wondered if she knew she was talking to the mother of the CEO.Vera's mo

They shuddered, even as Vera tried to stand firm."I won't let you get away with this, Lana!" she retorted, "I won't!""Oh right!" 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.

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

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

Zaire snarled as he pulled the door to Lana's room close behind him, "He accessed our base? How the fuck was he able to do that with his weak system?!"Aryan swallowed hard as he spoke carefully, "It seems he had help from Fernandez." He informed Zaire, "The email which we sent to Miss Vermont was the key to the base, sir."Zaire immediately gripped the collars of Aryan's shirt, fiercely and drew him to him, "You said there was no way they'd be able to trace it!" Zaire said harshly, baring his teeth at Aryan, "What is the meaning of this sloppy work?!"Aryan averted his gaze from Zaire, even as the strain of his collars being gripped was making it difficult for him to breath."I'm sorry, sir." He uttered in a small voice, looking more than a trifle apologetic, "I made sure I looked through it all but Fernandez has one of the best IT teams and system i

Zaire does not usually come to check up on her at nights, but the bastard was changing.He was getting bolder, climbing into bed with her. It was only a matter of time before he convinced her they were lovers, and there was nothing wrong with them being intimate.She had only managed to put him off for so long using the fact that she did not know him so well.Zaire had been decent all along, patiently waiting but she guessed his patience ran out with this little act of his now.The words he'd s

Oh, Zaire was back?Lana kept her eyes closed and pretended to look like someone in a sound sleep.The thought of sleeping, while two dangerous men looked down in her filled her with fear. It sent shivers down her spine, and Lana tried very hard not to shudder.Aryan stepped back from the bed, with his fists clenched. His faxe was hard as he was trying to not show how pissed he was."Its still daytime." He said, his voice a low growl. "We should wake her the fuck up and get her to sign the documents so we can leave here!"Documents?What documents?Lana's ears were fully on alert taking in every detail of their conversation. What the hell did they want her to sign on?

Walls don't just open up in front of people.Why did the wall in the room suddenly open up and most importantly, what was on the other side?Lana peered tentatively inside the wall, her eyes wild with fear.The cold air emanating from inside the gaping hole, filled the room and she shivered uncontrollably.Was this some kind of passage way? A secret passageway? On the second floor?!As the idea of a secret passageway flashed through her mind, Lana's heart started beating loudly once more.She bit her lips in uncertainty and fisted her white dress in fear as she walked closer to check out the wall.Tentatively, she climbed onto the bed an

    Chapter One Hundred And Seventy-FourRina inhaled deeply and then let out a ragged breath of despair. All her previous bravado had seemed to disappear as soon as Damien had mentioned how unsafe she was behind the prison walls.She seemed to shrink half in size into the chair, with fear boldly written on every of her features."Alright." She said in a small voice, "I'll tell you what I know about Zaire's location."Damien leaned back in his chair and straightened his jacket, pretending he was not relieved with Rina's decision. He suppressed the desire not to punch the air in victory, and instead schooled his expression into one of blankness as he nodded calmly at her, "Spill it.""But still..." Rina croaked uncertainly, "You have to tell me how you're going to help me with my sentence first before I say anything."She glanced up at him then and saw the flash of anger in his eyes. The muscle in his jaw twitched violently as he pushed back his chair and stood up.Seeing his action, the

She looked worse for wear with her huge black circles under her eyes, and sunken cheeks.Her black hair was pulled back from her face in a loose ponytail, and her face was guant.Damien was sitting on a metal chair in the middle of the room in a designated spot. Sitting beside him was a bespectacled middle aged man, who looked respectable in a sharp custom made suit.He was the head of Romero's legal team, and he had accompanied Damien on this trip to see Rina. Behind them, Liam stood rigid, with his hands clasped behind him like a soldier at alert.Rina's lips curved into a dry, little smile as her eyes fell on the men the room."To what do I owe this unp
