Chapter One Hundred And Twenty-Two

"Miss Lana!"

Lana jerked upright as Mandy tapped her arm, and the sheaf of papers she had been holding fluttered to the floor.

Mandy looked alarmed but without another word, she bent down and started retrieving the papers from the floor.

Lana blinked in surprise and quickly assisted her to retrieve the papers, muttering her apologies.

"So sorry about that." She said to her assistant, who smiled warmly, although she was worried about the head of design team.

She'd been at Lana's desk for over thirty minutes, going over some designs and files when she suddenly realized that Lana wasn't listening to her.

Lana sat still, staring into space and unblinking. Her breath was coming out in short gasps and her eyes were glazed, completely lost in whatever she was thinking.

"Is everything okay, Miss Lana?" Mandy finally asked, her voice tinged with concern, "You look flushed." She said, her eyes roving over Lana's heated cheeks "What were you thinking about?"

    Chapter One Hundred And Twenty ThreeDamien sat in his office, one hand propped on his desk, with his fingers on his head as he read the file in his hands, over and over again.But no matter how much he read it, he was not able to concentrate or get past the first page. His thoughts kept drifting back to a certain red head, and forest green eyes.Sensous lips, pale full breasts and milky skin...Damien groaned loudly and dripped the file. He held his head in his hands, rubbing the ache that had settled there.The thought of what had transpired in his room with Lana, that morning caused him to have a permanent hard-on, his bulging length pushing against his zipper, begging for release.Damien stood up and walked to the small bar in his office, yanking at his tie as he went. The room was suddenly hot and he rolled up his sleeves to his elbow before pouring himself a stiff drink, downing it in one gulp.The image of Lana on the edge of her release, shuddering against him while she rode

She held a glass of wine and stared fixedly into the distance, her face impassive and unreadable.She thought of her last encounter with Zaire and took a deep swallow of her wine, dropping the empty glass on the floor beside her.Her hands went to her neck and she massaged gently, recalling the pain she'd felt when Zaire had pulled her hair, snapping her head back. "He almost killed me that night."Rina blinked rapidly as her eyes watered, whenever she thought of how close she was to losing her life and by someone whom she thought was on the same side as her.She'd run back to Vera that night, after leaving the Oriental Hotel.Zaire would never find her here, she was sure of it.

    Chapter One Hundred And Twenty-FiveBella visibly shuddered with resentment and fear as she ended the call. She always felt like crap whenever she had a conversation with Rina."You did well." Liam said, scrutinizing Bella with a cool gaze from where he stood by the floor to ceiling windows in Damien's office. Bella bowed slightly, and shifted uncomfortably in her seat. Liam had not been harsh nor had she messed up with what had been asked of her, but she was still very uncomfortable. Probably, because Damien had not said a word after the phone call. Her eyes darted to where he was seated very straightbacked on his chair at the head of the table. He had his eyes closed all through her conversation with Rina, as if he was asleep but the slight furrow of his brows indicatedvthat he was awake and aware of everything that was going on.They were all gathered in Damien's office, Bella, Liam and Damien.After listening to the recordings retrieved from the tapes earlier, Damien had order

Lana asked, her voice sharp. Without waiting for an answer, she whirled on Damien, "Why is she with my box?!"Damien had his head on his hand, his eyes closed with frustration. Liam was on his feet in seconds as he walked over to the women."Miss Lana, if you'll just step into the office," he stepped round them to close the door behind, which had been left wide open by Lana. He turned to face the women and met Lana's steely glare. She placed her hand on the box, "Hand it over." She said, glaring at the maid who flinched and immediately let go of the box, scuttling backwards."No."They all turned to face Damien who was staring at them, a grim expression on his face.His expression became soft, however when he spoke to Lana, "Give her the box, Lana.""And why would I do such a thing?" Lana shot back at him, eyei

Her hair was covered with a scarf and she had a pair of huge goggles on her face, which she peered through.The goggles, however, hid her face more than making her see clearly, and in frustration she wrenched it off her face, and threw it on the chair beside her.She did not care if she was recognized.She was already on the verge of storming across the parking lot of the mall, checking out everybody's faces herself in search for Bella.She had arranged to meet Bella in the parking lot of the biggest mall in the city. It was quite packed now with carts, and also a few people milled about, pushing trolleys and placing groceries in their cars.Bella had gotten hold of the box and Rina could not say how pleased she was. She was also very impressed with Bella for getting the box within such notice.Truly, she was reliable. The mall was the perfect spot to meet Be

    Chapter One Hundred And Twenty Eight "Did you ever once think that Rina could harm you?"Damien froze, his arm suspended in mid-air as he tried placing a bowl of soup in front of Lana. After a moment, he placed the bowl down in front of her, while she stared at him, expectantly with expressive green eyes.They were seated at the table in the Romero Villa, having dinner. The entire table was filled with mouthwatering dishes- meats, mashed potatoes, salads, bread rolls, stir fries- they were so much that, they could feed an entire village.Lana always wondered why each meal at the Villa was like a banquet, and wondered if Damien always ate like that.She had no idea of his eating pattern or preference, because they've never shared a meal together in their marriage. Except if Laura invited them over to her place for dinner, and they had to endure the strenuous task of being in each other's presence. It was strenuous for Damien because he always acted like it was a chore to have one mea

    Chapter One Hundred And Twenty Nine"You were foolish enough to have your room bugged?!"Zaire screamed at Rina, throwing an ashtray viciously over to her direction. Rina flinched, as the tray missed her face by an inch. She scooted to the edge of her seat, and crossed her arms to keep from shaking. She lifted her chin haughtily and tried not to look as rattled as she felt. Infact, she looked ready to bolt but that might not be the wisest of decisions.At the door to Zaire's office, Aryan stood there looking as big and burly as a guide dog. He stared fixedly at her and his icy glare and unreadable expression, sent shivers down her spine and made her avert her gaze quickly. When Rina had reached out to Zaire earlier, asking to meet up, Aryan was the one who had brought her in.He'd been tailing her ever since she left the Romero mansion, and had materialized suddenly in front of her when Zaire gave the order for them to meet in his office.He had not been very nice and Rina seethed i

They are demanding we pay for the breach of contract as well!"Damien slammed his open palm on the top of his desk, and the entire desk rattled violently. 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

He was really prepared to end it right there and then with her.He was so glad he had gotten rid of that pompous bastard. He would get rid of Lana as well and they can all meet in the after life.His fingers tightened around the trigger , with his teeth gritted in determination. A flurry of movement came behind him, distracting him but before he could assess it, he was hit across the back.This was followed swiftly with another blow to the side of his head, his jaw almost dislocating with the force of it. He collapsed with a sharp cry on the floor, his body racking with pain.From the corner of his eye, he saw the red haired guy, holding the same stick he'd used on Damien. Adrian threw the stick to the floor, and grabbed Lana, yanking her to her feet."Let me go." Lana whispered, struggling to get Adrian off her."Lana, c'mon!" Adrian said, looking back at Zaire in alarm. Zaire was still w

"You dare to hurt her?!" Damien screamed in rage as he grabbed a fistful of Zaire's shirt, and delivered swift blows on his face repeatedly.Lana grabbed hold of her dress and watched the scene in horror, shaking in every part of her body.Damien had really come for her!Teaes burned her eyes as she watched him pummel Zaire who was offering no resistance, and then fear settled in."Damien." She called weakly, then raised her voice in alarm when Damien did not stop hitting Zaire, "Damien! Stop! Stop, Damien!"At the sound of her horrified scream, Damien paused in his assualt and his shaking fist was inches above Zaire's battered face."Stop, please! Please, do not get blood on your hands!" Lana pleaded once more, stretching out her hand to him.He immediately let go of Zaire who dropped like a sack of potato

He knew this was the man behind everything.Grabbing hold of Lana's hand, he darted to the right and they broke into a run, disappearing into the thick bushes by the side of the house."Get them!" Zaire barked and the men with him bounded into the forest.Zaire drew his out his gun and also ran into the forest with them.His jaw was clenched tight with fury.She was here all along!He knew there was no way she'd have escaped Monero on a ferry. He had eyes on every boat that had come into the place and also left for the past week and his hunch was right.She was here all along, hidden by that stupid wretch of a cleaner. Once he finds Lana, he would make sure he finishes Anila off as well as her stupid son.That was actually supposed to be her fate, had his plan gone smoothly previously. Anila was supposed to be killed and the house sold, so nothing could lea

The fact that she was pregnant was still ringing in her head.It made her knees weak and she had to hold on to Adrian for support.She was pregnant?!How on earth did that come about?Lana rubbed her forehead which was clammy at the moment, in confusion.Her thoughts went back to the night she had spent with Damien by the pool.That was like a month ago.Lana could not believe she had gotten pregnant that night, although it wasn't far fetched. She had not being on the pill for as long as she could remember. Her sex life was looking dead and she figured she did not need it.But now she was pregnant?And not only pregnant, her baby was in danger?!Her shaky hands covered her stomach once more. It was so flat but a life was growing inside there."Lana, did you hear what I said?" Adrian said, shaking her gently, "We have to leave. Now!"His voice made her snap out of her thoughts. She looked up at him i

    Chapter One Hundred And Eighty-Eight Anila soon returned to the little room. She was holding a tray on which sat a steaming bowl of soup as well as rice. There were little plates of side dishes on the tray as well, and soon the room was filled with the delicious aroma of the food. She gave Lana a broad smile as she placed the tray before her. "Here you go," she said affectionately, "Eat, so you can have strength." Lana stared at her, then at the food, biting her lips uncertainly. Adrian was also in the room, leaning against the wall close to the room. He stared at Lana hard, a strange look on his face. It was a cross between worry and anger. "Why aren't you eating?" Anila asked worriedly, when Lana did not pick up the spoon "You don't like mushroom soup? C'mon, you've always loved it before." "What?" Lana asked puzzledly, as Anila stretched the spoon towards her. What was the woman talking about? She did not like mushroom soup and don't even remember the last time she had i

Pushing the bed aside from the wall, Damien ran his hands all over the wall the way he had seen Lana do in the footage.He let out an erratic breath as the wall opened up in front of him and Paul. It even seemed more ominous than it had in the footage.Takong out his cellphone, he activated his flashlight, illuminating the whole of the passageway."Mother of pearls." Paul muttered in astonishment as they stared into the long dark space.It was a freaking passageway.Why had Lana walked into the wall? No matter how much Paul thought about it, he thought it was extremely brave of the young miss, especially since she did not know what was on the other side of this passageway.Without further ado, Damien bounded into the wall."Romero!" Paul called out after him but Damien did not stop. He kept running down the passageway, till he turned a corner and went out of sight.This was becoming more crazy, Paul th

    Chapter One Hundred And Eighty-SixDamien stood in the middle of the white little room and looked around in quiet disgust.The fact that Lana had been in this place all along had filled him with so much fury that he felt like tearing the walls down with his fists.That thought was fueled by the fact that she was nowhere to be found. They had arrived Monero a little over six hours ago. Monero was only accessible through a port and when the men had arrived there, it was already quiet late.Rina had finally revealed the locations of Zaire's villa in Moreno and even though it irked Damien to grant her anything in return, he had to fulfill her request for Lana's sake."Your little informant had better be correct, Romero." Paul had said earlier on the boat, "The Young Miss had better be in Monero when we get there or you will face Fernandez's wrath."Damien had been silent, even though impatience hummed in his blood.He knew she was in Moreno.She had to be in Monero.He wondered what he w

    Chapter One Hundred And Eighty-five "Let's go in, first." Anila said urgently as she walked into the corridor and pressed the button on the wall, watching with bated breath until the shelf slid back into place.She turned to Adrian then, "What about the young Miss?" She asked as she walked past him, "Is she okay?""Screw the young miss." Adrian spat out loudly in anger as they both entered the small room, "What the hell is going on? Who the hell were those men?!"Adrian was clearly frustrated. He did not mean to yell and rarely lost his cool, but he was pissed with what just happened a few moments ago in his own house.Anila sighed, "if you will only let me explain, then I will. Stop yelling at me." She reprimanded him as she walked over to Lana.Lana was huddled on the bed, cowering under the bed covers in fear. She and Adrian had stayed back in the room when Anila had gone out.She had been trembling and whimpering in fear as they heard the men ransacked the room, while Adrian pace

Another yell came and this time it was accompanied by a solid thump, like a vicious kick to the door."What the hell? Who knocks like that?" Adrian said, frowning in annoyance. He was about to walk towards the door when Anila stopped him."No Adrian! Don't go." She called out to him, holding out a hand to stop him.Adrian looked from the door to his mother, "What?" He asked, his confusion becoming more apparent. Lana exchanged a frightened glance with Anila, who was calmer actually.She patted Lana's hand then stood up and walked towards the door."I will go out and meet them" She said calmly to Adrian."Excuse me?" Adrian asked, arching an eyebrow at that state
