LOGINChapter Two
Rina. "Y..you?" Her hands shook with rage as she took a step closer to the bed "what's going on? What the hell are you doing in my husband's room?!" Her fists clenched as she glared at Rina and remembered how Laura had admonished her to keep Rina away from her grandson. And now, Damien had gone and brought her into their home. She had failed Laura. Rina stared at Lana mischievously, her rosy pink lips curving into a smirk. Lana's palm itched to wipe that smirk off her face. She looked around the room, taking in the sight, slowly. The room was dimly lit from the chandelier above, which cast a faint glow around the room. Rina's hair looked disheveled and her complexion was flushed. There were clothes strewn about the floor of the room and a faint musty smell hung in the air. As Lana tried to make her brain understand whatever it is that was going on, Damien walked out of the bathroom. His golden locks, was wet and stuck to his forehead. He stopped when he saw Lana and his face darkened with a huge frown "What the hell do you think you're doing in here?" He growled and immediately Rina heard his voice, she ran to him and gave him a tight embrace, her entire body shaking, seemingly from fear. "Dami, I'm scared!" Lana felt like vomiting as she watched Damien's arms go round Rina in a tight embrace. He looked down into her face as he mumbled softly, "It's okay, I'm here. Don't be scared" he kissed the top of her head and the smile disappeared from his face as he glanced up back at Lana. He failed to see the sinister smile which Rina was giving Lana as she rubbed her cheeks against his hard chest. "Damien" Lana closed her eyes, in an effort to remain calm but it was very hard "What's she doing here?." "That's none of your fricking business! Get out of my room!" Damien still held on to Rina as though she was a little child, scared of the noise. "I want her out of my house this instant!" Lana retaliated, her voice shaking with emotion as she took another step forward " I will not have your little mistress under my roof!." Something flashed before her eyes and before she could realize it, Damien's hard palm had landed on her face. Twang! Lana reeled from the force of the slap and she landed on the floor, stunned. She reached to touch her reddened cheeks with trembling hands, and her eyes stung with unshed tears as she looked up at Damien who was glaring at her on the floor. His chest was heaving as he tried to calm down. "Don't you dare call her that, you conniving bitch!" He pointed a finger at her and almost spat at her "I've had enough of you. Your face makes me sick. You disgust me, Lana, just fricking go to hell!." Lana could see Rina standing behind him, her hands over her mouth seemingly in shock but her eyes were filled with glee. She was definitely enjoying the show and the look on her face was enough for Lana. She shakily stood up, determined never to back down in front of them. "Hell?! I'll make you see hell if you don't get that bitch out of my house!" She fired back, standing her ground although she was trembling all over from the emotions which were choking her Damien smirked, and his beautiful eyes glittered with disdain. "What are you going to do?" He walked back to Rina and gently led her to the bed. She continued hugging him, even though they were sitting. "Run to my grandma? To deceive her all the more?! Too bad she's out of the country. At least she won't get to see your conniving and hateful face!" "What are you talking about?" Lana was shaking with anger and she could not fathom what Damien was saying. She also could not stand Lana caressing her husband's chest. 'I said, get this bitch out!" At this, Damien stood up and walked to his desk and pressed a button. Soon, a guard appeared. "Ma'am, please come with me" The guard's eyes were apologetic as he held on to Lana's arm trying to lead her out but she shrugged out of his grip. "I said, get out!" She walked towards Rina and grabbed her arm, ready to throw her out. Rina shrieked, calling out to Damien, and Damien immediately pushed Lana to the floor again, cradling Rina in his arms. Lana fell to the floor, her abdomen suddenly on fire. She clutched her stomach and gasped loudly. "Get her out of my house! I do not want to see her face!" Damien thundered at the guard who immediately sprang into action, and roughly dragged Lana outside. Lana was limp with the pain and when the guard unceremoniously dumped her in front of the house, she called for her driver immediately. "Diego...to the hospital, quick" Lana gasped as the driver immediately placed her in the car, before hurrying to start the engine. She could not let anything happen to her baby. Lana's whole body was engulfed with pain but it was not like the aching in her heart. Her eyes stung with tears which spilled over and rolled down her cheeks She wailed, unmindful of the driver who looked at her in distress. "Ma'am, please stop crying, everything would be o...oh shit!" Diego yelled suddenly as a huge dump truck came at the car from a side road. He swerved sharply to avoid an impact and the car was thrown off the road and it careened straight into a tree by the side of the road. And then, there was a deafening silence. Before the car crashed into the tree, Lana was already unconscious, her head on the headrest in front of her. Slowly, blood trickled down her legs, staining her white dress and the seat which she sat on.Chapter Five Hundred And Fifty-Four“You’re nothing but an imposter!”A voice uttered calmly from the doorway and everyone turned to it.There were gasps of shock as their eyes fell on Lana.Lana stood at the doorway, a very grim expression on her face as she stared at Maya.Maya had gone pale, her entire body frozen at the sight of Lana Fernandez in the flesh before her.At once, Molly extricated herself from her hold.“What the hell?!” She yelped, running over to Lana’s side and then looking back at Maya, “Who the hell are you? How dare you try to impersonate Miss Lana?!”“She is the Lana Fernandez wannabe!” Another colleague called out, brandishing her phone in the air, where a video was currently being played.It was the video recording of Maya wrecking the store at the mall. “Exactly! I thought she looked familiar, but I only thought it was because she was Lana Fernandez!”“You disgusting bitch! How dare you come here to pull this stunt?! Do you know where this is?!”Maya was tr
Chapter Five Hundred And Fifty-Three Molly quickly hung up and turned to her assistant who was standing right behind her.“Miss Lana is here already?” She asked eagerly“Yes ma’am,” the assistant answered as well, barely able to keep her excitement in check.They were all looking forward to see Lana again.When she’d left the design team to take over Romero Empire management three years ago, it had been really tough for them.But since they’d been under her guidance for a year, they were quickly able to adjust and continued producing the best designs that the fashion industry in the city had ever known.From time to time, Lana did check up on them but she hadn’t done that for months, probably because she was too busy.But now they would get the chance to work with her once again.Even the newer employees who had not worked with Lana before were almost giddy with excitement that they could not breathe.They thanked their stars that they would be available on the project for the Queen
Chapter Five Hundred And Fifty-TwoIt was already mid morning when Maya arrived at MAGIC. She told the driver to drive right up to the lobby, instead of going round to the underground garage.Despite being anxious about her identity being revealed, Maya still had to make a grand entrance.She came out of the car and immediately drew heads.All dressed up in a black silk gown with a ridiculous slit at the thigh, and a fur coat around her neck, she marched right up to the revolving doors.The shine of her pearls could be seen from miles away and her snakeskin boots looked really fashionable, but not to the employees at MAGIC.They thought Maya was ridiculously overdressed.Maya had her sunglasses perched high on her face and ignored them all as she made her way to the elevators.She was trying really hard not to clench at her dress as she walked because surely, Lana Fernandez would not do that.At the thought of that bitch, Maya’s teeth gritted. She’d been so unsure of what to do and Za
Chapter Five Hundred And Fifty-One Maya stared at Hilda with growing apprehension, as the Head Maid relayed the message that had been given to her by Damien that morning.Hilda’s face was pinched with discomfort as she spoke, “That’s what he said, Miss Maya.” She uttered, groaning in anguish, “He wants you to be in the office by 9AM this morning. If you’re not coming, he wants you to go to the Queen immediately and tell her your reason why.”“Argh!!!!” Maya screamed suddenly, as rage and disbelief surged through her.She flipped on her bed, then stood up still screaming as she trashed the room. She pushed things off shelves and her vanity table, she broke vases in the door and threw a shoe against the mirror, all the while steaming with anger.“Why?! Why?! Oh Why???!!!!” She screamed, “Why is this happening to me now?!”Hilda had been shaking with fright on a corner of Maya’s room as she shook with fright at what was happening.“M…Miss Maya…please calm down…” she uttered but Maya tur
Chapter Five Hundred And Forty-NineMaya swallowed hard at that statement.She could hear the raw anger in Zaire’s voice and wondered if she had actually pushed him too far.Her brow furrowed into a frown the next moment, and she scoffed loudly in disdain, “I told you, you can’t do anything more than a dead rat at this time, Zaire.” She uttered, “I’m about to crazy here because I don’t know what to do and you’re going on and on about not pushing you?!” She scoffed, “Perhaps it’s you who shouldn’t push me to the brink, Zaire.”Zaire did not say anything.His eyes were glazed with a kind of cold fury that he’d never felt in years.It was impossible for Maya to still live after everything she’d said today. This thought crystallized in his mind and it gave him some kind of mild pleasure, that the corner of his lips actually tugged in a slight smile.Unaware of these murderous thoughts towards her, Maya went on speaking, “You’d better get on with what I asked.” She uttered carelessly, “If
Chapter Five Hundred And Forty-Eight“No! Stop this Damien!” Maya shot back, panic rising in her at the thought of him opening the door and finding her completely doing fine.She was about to hold on to the door once more, when suddenly there came the sound of the door lock clicking open.She gasped and rushed towards it, just as Damien pushed it open.They stared at each other and Damien scoffed, “Well, you don’t look that bad after all.” He muttered through gritted teeth.Maya didn’t know what to say. Her eyes were wide and frantic as Damien stared at her coldly, and her thoughts were all jumbled up, making her unsure of the next words to say.“I…I…uh…” she stammered, looking at everywhere but Damien’s eyes.How on earth had he being able to get in though?!She looked over Damien’s shoulder and saw a security guard dangling a bunch of keys.Oh right, of course there would be spare keys in the house.Why didn’t she think of that?, she thought to herself, biting her nails in a panic.
