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,

    Chapter ThirtyDiego stood up and hastened to the car. He opened the door to the passenger's door and brought out the black parcel.He handed it to Lana, who collected it slowly. 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

    Chapter Thirty-OneRina's eyes snapped open in the VIP Ward, where she'd been moved to.She lay still, frowning slightly, and pricking her ears. Something had awakened her.She sat up to listen better, and groaned when her eyes swam before her."Shit!" She grabbed her head with both hands and swore loudly. "Those damned drugs. I hate them so much," she muttered as she waited for the dizziness to subside.Finally, it did and she swung her legs over the side of the huge bed, placing her bare foot on the rug. The room was huge as well, and well lit. It was painted sky blue and the rug on the floor was so soft, it could sink a person.In the middle of the room were two white sofas, with a low table in the centre, on which sat a huge basket of fruit.She was alone in the room, and that suited her. She was still angry with Damien, over the events of the night and she was not ready to act frail right now.She was also not in the mood to act coy with Vera."That old lady is getting irritatin

    Chapter Thirty-TwoLana paced up and down her room, her mind whirling with different thoughts."Do I really need to do this? I mean, Laura is dead and this parcel is five years too late," she muttered to herself.But then, Rina is still in the Romero Empire, no doubt putting her plan in place."What do I do, what do I do?" She chanted, biting her finger tips, as the wheels in her brains turned over and over again, "Should I really let Rina destroy everything Laura built? But hold on, even if I can stop her, how do I stop her?!"And there was the big question.Why on Earth did Laura send her that parcel, thinking she'd know what to do with it.Lana didn't know shit.Laura probably thought she'd know what to do with it, because she was married to Damien back then."And that was five years ago," she stopped in the middle of the room and stared fixedly into the distance, looking but not seeing "I'm done with the Romero Empire. I'm done."Suddenly, her phone rang, the shrill sound breaking

He had to ask again so he'd be sure."Yes, Pierre." Lana replied, her face set with a very determined expression.Pierre had a shocked smile on his face, "This was getting better and better." He thought, gleefully.However, a slight frown crossed his face as he seemed to remember the next words she had said, "And MAGIC is the catch? Why, if I may ask?"Lana remained silent for what seemed to be the longest of minutes. Her fingers clenched and unclenched as she debated within herself."Does he really need to know about Laura's parcel? I mean I could use all the help I need." She thought, biting her lip in indecision "But then, this is a delicate matter. I need to check things out for myself first, then recruit help."She inhaled deeply and answered with a cheerful, affected tone, "uh..nothing

A slight smile curved his face as he read the headlines of trending posts.It's been three days and the posts were still hot, ganering more and more attention. They were all talking about Lana, who was currently the most sought after model in the industry.This was because other fashion companies CEOs bugged him for information on the model, as they wanted to make use of her as well.Zaire had his IT team tell the media, the model for the finale dress was not a professional model so nothing could be done from their end. This was after SERENE was sold out for the season in a night to royals, celebrities, foreigners everywhere across the country.It was amazing considering the almost scandal that went round about her the night of the show.

She snarled, "You sit on your ass all day while I'm out here working! You call me useless?! I can make you useless, so watch your tongue, bitch!"She concluded angrily, and the sound of her own breathing was the only sound that could be heard for some time. She stared down at the phone and realized the line was dead."Ugh, so annoying! I wish I'd strangle him from here!" She grunted, gripping the phone tightly. The urge to smash it as well overwhelmed her but she shook it off.That was enough smashing for the day. And besides, it'd ruin things for them. He'd not be able to reach her since this was the only way he could.He was getting more and more on her nerves, but she could not blame him.

She started, trying to give closer to him but Damien stretched out his hand.Right on cue, Liam scrolled through his iPad, found the page he was looking for, and placed it on Damien's hand.Damien's eyes never left her face and he was definitely not fooled by her innocent look, "I pay good money to ensure that MAGIC stays on the chart with top designs from so called "talented designers" but all I get is this mediocrity!" He threw the iPad to the desk with a loud clang. Some of the employees jumped at the sound, and Rina flinched as well.She reached out with a trembling hand and picked up the iPad. Her heart dropped at what she saw there. There was a picture of Muse's famous design alongside hers. The dress was a little sequin number, cinched at the waist with a flared skirt.

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

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

The next instant, they widened with joy and relief."You're awake! Oh thank heavens!" She said as she rushed towards Lana and took both of her hands in hers, "I knew you'd come around! Bless the heavens!"She turned to look at the red haired man, who went about his watering as calmly as before."Look Adrian, I told you she'll be fine." She said as she beamed up at Lana, because she was clearly four inches shorter than her."I know mother," The red haired guy, Adrian replied drily, "I treated her."Lana stared at him, "Treated?" She asked, eyeing the guy in surprise.He was a doctor?The middle aged woman nodded, "Adrian had found you in the forest when he went for his morning walk." She explained

    Chapter One Hundred And Eighty-TwoShe was in the forest, running with her hands stretched out in front of her as she stumbled over fallen tree logs. Her dress was torn and her knees were scraped. She was limping due to the cuts under the sole of her feet, which the cool damp earth of the forest did nothing to soothe.Yet, Lana ran.She was blinded by a film of tears and terrified gasps came out of her mouth as she stumbled through the dark forest."LANA!"He was close!He would get her and throw her back into that suffocating place. Taking control of her whole life."No, never..." Lana muttered breathlessly as she ran. The moon was hidden behind the huge rain clouds filling the sky now. Now, and then, lightening cracked through the sky, sending a flash of white through the forest.The rumbling of thunder will follow soon after and it made Lana shriek and shudder in terror as she ran.No! No! Stay away, please!Suddenly, a hand shot out from before her and grabbed her throat tightly,

    Chapter One Hundred And Eighty-One.Lana turned sharply and looked into the darkness behind her. It seemed as though she'd heard something scream. 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

    Chapter One Hundred And Eighty Zaire was still in his study with Aryan, who was making numerous calls.It really seemed like Romero was on his way to Moreno, due to the tip off that Rina had given them.Zaire regretted ever revealing this place to Rina. 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
