Chapter One Hundred And Nineteen

Damien arched an eyebrow at her as curiosity drew him from the windows, and over to the desk.

"My grandmother?" He asked, his voice wary as he looked at the box. Lana watched him pick up the small black box and scrutinized it from all angles, his brows furrowed in a small frown.

He did not reach to open the box as he eyed it, warily, "What's in it?"

Lana collected the box from him and opened it, revealing the letter and the tapes before setting it back down on the desk, "A few months back, Diego gave me this parcel." She swallowed a hard lump in her throat as she reached for the letter and handed it to him, "Apparently, I was supposed to receive it five years ago. Right before she...before Laura died."

Damien was reading the letter now, his expression unreadable but she saw the pain in his eyes. Raw pain and regret which he made no effort to hide as he looked up at her.

    Chapter One Hundred And Twenty"Uhm...you guys...I'm still here, remember?"Liam's voice crashed through the moment, released Damien from the spell of Lana's tearful eyes. He clenched his teeth as he turned to glare at the assistant, who gave him a defiant look in return.He could have easily walked out of the room to give them some time to themselves, but he was very much interested in their new found case. It was late and he needed to know the next line of action to take concerning this matter, and he needed to know it that night.Lana was so drowsy by then, that she could not sit still. Her eyelids drooped close as her head lolled forward, crashing against Damien's chest.He held her securely, and she did not resist when he hoisted her into his arms, and carried her bridal style out of the room."Wait here." He ordered Liam, who sighed heavily in reply, but did not utter a word.Lana snuggled against Damien as he carried her to her room, rubbing her cheeks against his hard chest.

    Chapter One Hundred Twenty OneLana's hand flew to her mouth as she stifled a scream, when the door to her left was pushed open, suddenly. She watched with eyes bulging, as Damien walked out of what seemed to be the bathroom, toweling his hair furiously. She stood completely still, and Damien was still unaware of her presence as her eyes became glued to his body. She allowed her eyes to run slowly down his body and her mouth went dry.Damien looked glorious, with his taut body and ripped muscles. His chest was massive and she stared appreciatively, allowing her eyes to travel past his lean stomach and then to his...Lana swallowed hard as her gaze fell on his length, and her jaw dropped open slightly, unable to take her eyes off his massive rod. It laid in a semi-flacid state and as she watched, her eyes widened in fascination when she saw it grow hard.Wait, why was that happening?Suddenly, it occured to her that the only sound that could be heard in the room, was her breath coming

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?"

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

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?"

    Chapter One Hundred And Forty Two."There are some things we need to look into before handing the files over to the police."Damien was silent.He had his head in his hands with his eyes closed. He was not fully listening what Liam was saying, with his mind whirling with various thoughts. He was still numb from the fact that his grandmother had been killed. She had been taken away from him. He did not even get a chance to reconcile with her.For months he'd been at loggerheads with her because of Rina. He'd made her cry and frustrated. He'd repeatedly declared his love for Rina, and how he'd choose her over Romero. Damie closed his eyes as pain lodged in his throat. She must have been very heartbroken, yet she still made sure she helped him recover.Yet, she'd been taken away from him?Rage coursed through his body and he shivered with the intensity. At that moment, he swore he was going to crush Zaire's neck.Just the way he'd done to his grandmother. And he'd take extreme pleasure

Diego asked, looking round at the others who stood at the bottom of the stairs, watching Lana go up.Yvette shrugged, as puzzled as Diego was.Damien and Liam, however, ignored him as well, and went into his study. Damien was brooding, his heart heavy with sadness and anger.Liam stood before him looking downcasted as well. Knowing Damien's temper, it would not be a good idea to say anything unless Damien spoke first.It had not been a good idea to let Lana listen to the recordings with them. That was the one thing Damien regretted. Although, it was supposed to come to her notice one way or the other, but Damien would have loved to keep it buried for life.He hated to see Lana sad, or heartbroken. After listening to the tapes,

She'd have to call her Dad later on and explain things clearly to him.She was still a bit stunned that he'd actually left with a warning. "Oh God, hope he's not planning something behind my back." She muttered to herself, biting her lower lip in trepidation. If he was, then she deserved it, but she was not leaving Oackcrest without doing what she came here to do, anyway.And with the way things are, it seemed they'd gone back to the root of all squares. Romero was in danger!Before she could comprehend this thought any longer, Damien pulled her in to himself for a crushing hug.He pressed her to his chest, his heart racing from her nearness and his nose filled with the scent of her.

His presence as well as that of Paul's, dominated the entire office. Samuel Fernandez was a big man, and when he spoke, his voice boomed across the office, bouncing off the walls."You wish to keep my daughter hostage?!" He barked, pointing a stubby finger at Damien, "Just like you did eight years ago?!""Uhm...Dad, we were married. I married him," Lana said in a small voice, "I was not exactly held hostage..." she trailed off and lowered her gaze, when her dad gave her a level look.Damien gave her an appreciative glance, then faced the chairman. "I don't wish to hold Lana hostage, nor have I ever held her hostage." He said firmly, giving the chairman a square look, "I only wish sh

She was wheezing, almost doubled over, as she made for her camry, digging in her bag for her keys. Suddenly, the screeching of car tires could be heard and Rina held her hand over her eyes, before she was blinded by the headlights of the oncoming vehicle. She jumped out of the way as well, when it seemed as though the van was after her life."Ow!" She cried out as she hit the floor hard.The van swerved to the side and came to a stop with a screech. The driver looked out his window and yelled at her."Get in!"Rina blinked in shock as she realized it was her henchman, Carlos!About time the bitch showed up!Joy lit her face and she winced in pain, trying to get up from the floor. The sound of Liam kicking the door to the parking lot open, gave her the energy and galvanized her into action.Her eyes met with his angry ones and Liam bared his teeth teeth at her, as he

Lana asked, her voice tinged with confusion and concern, "Is everything okay?"However, Damien's lighthearted mood faded as his eyes met with that of Paul. Suspicion clouded his brows and he placed the phone back to his ear."Hold on. How did that happen?"

She went pale, as she realized she'd probably said more than she was supposed to.Lana stepped forward, her brows arched in suspicion, "You said you won't stop until Romero becomes like your so called Carter family." She asked, then scoffed in disbelief, "Did you have a hand in this attack, Rina?"Everyone faced Rina immediately and the woman felt attacked. She swallowed hard, feeling none of the bravado she'd had felt earlier, when she was giving her passionate speech.She should not have said what she had said, but Vera had so annoyed her, that Rina just let it all out.She sighed inwardly, as her stomach churned with fear.Zaire was going to kill her, when he discovered this."Seriously?"
