Chapter Seventy-Two

"What the hell do you think you're doing, Lana?!"

Damien growled as he marched towards his ex-wife. Somewhere in his brain, common sense trashed about, trying to get ahold of him but he was too angry to listen to it.

He knew he shouldn't sound so harsh.

He wasn't supposed to sound harsh at all, but goddammit! , the woman was just too infuriating.

After he'd driven off from the SK Restaurant earlier that afternoon, Damien had set to chase down Lana, but a call from his assistant Liam pulled him out of that decision.

"Sir, the investors from Mauritania is here." Liam had said as soon as he picked up the call, "When do you think you'll be able to make it?"

"Reschedule the meeting." came the terse reply from Damien. He was trying to focus on the road and also on his dashboard, where he could track the location of Lana's car on a panel there.

Liam swore silently, rolling his eyes upward, "We can't reschedule the meeting. This people flew seventeen hours to get here tod

    Chapter Seventy-ThreeLana was not fazed by the way Damien stormed towards her like an angry bull. Neither did the anger in his eyes or his handsome face which was darkened by a huge frown."Welcome to the club, baby" she muttered under her breath, making sure her own expression matched his furious one.He had the audacity to be angry, after acting like a pest towards her for the whole day?!What a joke!She wrenched her eyes away from his as he approached, and made to brush past him towards the direction of her car.In an instant, Damien's hand shot out and gripped her arm, stopping her from moving further."Ow! Let go, you brute!" She yelled angrily, jerking back her arm furiously but Damien's grip was too tight.Damien leaned down so his face was in hers, "Do not walk out on me!" He said fiercely, his breath fanning her face, "I asked you a question!"Lana punched on his arm hand angrily, tears of anger shimmering in her eyes "Alright, I heard you! Just let go already!"Damien cont

    Chapter Seventy-FourThere was shocked silence for some seconds as those words left Damien's mouth. All three of them were shocked.Lana and Diego could not believe he'd actually apologized to her. This was not the Damien Romero they knew, and Lana did not know how to react to this new side of Damien.She shifted uncomfortably on her feet, as he still held her firmly by the wrists.Her bottom lip found its way between her teeth as a slight frown crossed her face. Her mind played back his exact words that he'd said to her a few minutes ago,"I'm sorry, Lana! I don't know what came over me when I said those senseless words but I did not mean them. Believe me when I say, I don't think of you as a gold digger!""He did not think of me as a gold digger" she thought to herself, scoffing slightly, unsure if she should believe his words.This was the same man who'd not wanted to be in the same breathing space with her five years ago. She knew it'd been wrong for his grandmother, Laura, to for

    Chapter Seventy-FiveIt was quite late in the night when the Benz finally pulled up at the Romero Villa. It was located in the heart of the city, and was a sight to behold.The driveway which led up to the house was dotted with beautiful lights and different varieties of flowers, which filled the entire area with their exotic and pleasing scents.The car stopped directly in front of the house, beside a small fountain. A statue in the figure of a baby angel with wings, stood on the raised platform, the flowing water pouring out of its upturned vase. The reflection of the moon and stars up ahead could be seen in the water and they shimmered, giving the water a sparkling surface.Before Damien could get out of the car and go round to help her, Lana was already outside the car, staring appreciatively at the building in front of her.His jaw clenched with irritation at this, but he quickly clamped down on it.At least, she was here with him. Lana had eventually agreed to stay at the Romero

Startled, she turned in the water to find him staring down at her.She blinked away her drowsiness and widened her eyes at him in shock. Lana became acutely aware of the state she was in and she swallowed hard in trepidation, desperately hoping that he would not be able to see anything through the water.But that might just be wishful thinking. The water was as clear as crystal."What the hell do you think you're doing?!" She gasped at him, taking care to make sure that her entire upper body was still submerged in water. Her cheeks became flamed with heat as her eyes flashed with anger, "Get out!"Damien made no move as though he did not hear what she said. He was leaning against the door, with arms crossed over his chest. He had taken off his tie and his white button down was opened at the throat, revealing his bronzed pecs underneath. He tilted his head and continued watching her, his eyes darkening

    Chapter Seventy-SevenDamien watched Yvette lead Lana up the stairs to her room, and let out a breath he did not know he had been holding. He still felt nervous, afraid that she'd still leave but then he hoped she got settled in and banish any thoughts of leaving from her head.He looked around and realized he was the only one still standing at the base of the staircase, watching Lana go up the stairs until she disappeared from his sight.The other maids had gone off into the house, one leading Diego to his own room.He was tempted to follow Yvette and Lana upstairs, to see how she'd like her room but he decided against it.That's enough clinging for the day.Instead, he walked over the room to sit on one of the two matching armchairs to wait for them to come back down. The two armchairs were facing a wall made of wall to ceiling windows. From the windows, it could be seen that the house overlooked a lake, although that was not very visible from the point where he was sitting. This w

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

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

You're smart and we connect well. Why don't you make the wise decision and come to me?"Maya laughed cynically, "Is this fool on drugs?"

Gary was trembling with rage, "What are you doing, selling yourself like a whore for this gigolo?!"There was a sharp intake of breath from the employees who were pretending to be working but also watching the drama.Some were enjoying the show so much that they spoke low behind their palms, laughing and snickering at Maya.It serves her right for strutting about like she owned the place. Maya had been a pain the neck around the office, ever since Noah started working there.It was refreshing to hear her being referred to as the slut that she truly was.She was clearly throwing herself at the man who did not want her, and bared her teeth at any girl in the office who looked at him.

Noah narrowed his eyes at the odious man, who was enjoying the look of confusion on Noah's face.Slowly, he started chuckling and soon, the annoying man straightened up and laughed outloud while Noah simmered, and the rest of the colleagues watched in puzzlement."You never thought about that, did you?" Gary continued, after he'd had a good laugh, "Well, you should have, before you thought of running your mouth." He lifted the stack of files and slammed them back down on Noah's desk, roughly, "You better start working on them," he smirked, then leaned in to say in Noah's ears once more, "Or you're not the only one who is going to lose your job."Noah's mouth tightened into a grim line, as he realized what Gary was trying to say.He had indeed started working at the company

What was that he said, Manager Gary's job was what was on the line.Really, it was his own life that was on the line. They looked at Manager Gary to see how he'd receive this news.Gary had gone pale, then slowly he turned beet red. He bared his teeth at Noah menacingly, "What did you say?"Noah stood his ground, staring at the man, "This preparations were supposed to have been sent in a month ago." He went on, "The orders for the shipment were made before I even started working here. I'm sure the regional manager have this job to you directly but you did not carry it out, due to your negligence."Gary was

Can you believe it? Well of course you believe it, because I always said so!"Adrian was silent even as Lana kept in talking. He'd stopped massaging her shoulders and her cheerful voice was just going on and on in his head.She looked really happy, hopeful, something he'd never seen in her in a long time.And that was because Damien Romero had been found.Wait, he was really alive?He'd always heard Lana say it and he'd seen her waiting for him, encouraged her to keep on hoping because only then Arielle could be saved but now, it seemed like Damien Romero was really going to be back in her life.Their lives.Somehow, and for rea

It was a combination of both specialists and general hospital.It provided the best health care services and even the creme de la creme of society had their check ups there. The hospital's VIP section was built solely for the benefit and comfort of wealthy people. This sentiment has gone on to be abused by the rich, who use the hospital as a getaway to evade tax hunt, scandals and malingering.The facilities in the VIP area were more like the equipments that belonged in a spa or resort than an hospital. There were lounges, perfect little cafes and the patients wore robes as their hospital wear instead.However, only the best and most professi

Lana did really play us all."Zaire smirked as he listened to this, while Director Evans took his seat with a satisfied sigh, "Now, there's just one little problem to sort out before we make this public," he drawled, taking long puffs on his cigarette, "Where is Romero, really? Do you think he's going to come back?""Damien Romero will never come back to his Empire," Zaire spoke with a calm smile, as he turned to back to watching the city below.Director Evans was watching him with narrowed eyes, "How do yo
