Chapter Seventy-Eight

"Eiik!"

Lana squealed as she stumbled backwards, her hands flailing in the air.

It all happened in the blinke of an eye and she expected to land on the floor, with her butt, but Damien's hand shot out and grabbed her waist, breaking her fall.

She gripped both his shoulders as she straightened herself, her heart beating loudly in her chest. Damien held her firmly to himself, until she was able to regain her footing.

His eyes roved over her startled face, which was swiftly becoming red, due to the color flooding her cheeks.

He arched an eyebrow at her, "Are you okay?" He asked, tentatively and Lana quickly nodded.

"I'm fine, thank you," she muttered breathlessly. She was suddenly aware of the fact that the only barrier between their bodies, was the thin towel which she'd wrapped around herself before leaving the bathroom.

She bit her lips in regret and averted her gaze, "Shit, I should have just worn the bathrobe instead." She thought, then cleared her throat, tr

    Chapter Seventy-NineAn order?!How dare he?!Lana's fist bunched by her sides. Anger coursed through her veins at his dominating tone, but she remained calm.She could feel the heat radiating from his body which was inches apart from hers. She felt trapped with her back up against the door and he, glaring down at her. She gritted her teeth in rage, blaming herself for coming with him to the Romero Villa in the first place.No wonder he dared to talk to her in that manner, all because she was in his house.But hold up...Lana's eyes flashed with realization as she suddenly remembered something.He had given her the house!That was the only reason she had agreed to come here in the first place. And now, he dared to order her around, in her own house?!This realization gave her the courage to glare up at him. She scoffed, a sly smirk on her lips, "An order?! Are you freaking kidding me?" She pushed herself away from the door, making him step back involuntarily.His eyes narrowed at her

    Chapter EightyAs soon as he'd uttered those words, Damien walked out, closing the door gently behind him. Lana slowly slid down the door as her legs finally gave way.Oh shit!"Ughh!" She groaned loudly as she clutched her hair tightly, not minding the pain that zapped across her skull, as she pulled the hair from the roots."You tricked me and you'll pay for it!"Shame and embarrassment coursed through her as her earlier words flashed through her mind. How could she forget she'd not yet signed the papers that handed over the rights to the house to her?She'd mentioned it earlier, and he'd promised to get the papers ready when they got to the house.Lana groaned again , and thumped her head with her bunched fists. She'd been so sure that hed tricked her.No, She'd merely been blinded by her anger. Anger at him and at herself, for allowing her body react that way to him. She cringed at her uncultured behaivour, as she wondered how she was going to make remedies."Oh well," she mutte

Lana was even more surprised than him and was staring at him, speechlessly."What the hell, Lana?" She admonished herself, cringing internally as his eyes bored into hers intently, "you were supposed to just apologize and get this over with. What's with the clinging unto him?"Damien tilted his head, unsure of what he'd heard, "What did you say?" He asked tentatively. He wanted to hear the words from her mouth again. It was like music to his ears, but he did not quite understand why she'd say those words to him. What did she mean by, "please, don't go."Was she scared of the dark or was there something deeper than that going on here?He swallowed hard at that thought and watched her, staring at him with huge round eyes."What did you say, Lana?" He repeated softly and Lana started."Hmm...What? What did I say?" Lana repeated, giving him

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..Sh

    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

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?"

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.

    Chapter Ninety-TwoRina walked into her office, and all the employees quickly stood up and bowed in unison, with respect. 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

Lana uttered, "If Rina is fired from MAGIC!"Rina gasped in outrage, while Vera struggled in the hands of the security men, "Let me go!" 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. He tilted his head and watched Lana with a calculated, narrowed gaze. "You will reconsider, you say?""Damien!" Vera scr

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. How dare he speak out of turn to me?!"Lana brought out her cellphone from her bag, and gave Vera a fake smile, "you can explain that t

"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

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?!"

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.
