Chapter Fifty-Nine

Deciding she'd been on the rooftop too long, Rina heads down the empty stairway.

Occasionally, she'd lean over the railing, her eyes scanning the floors below, trying to see if she could see any employee fleeing but there was no one there, and she finally decided she was being paranoid.

About seven floors below, Lana quietly slipped through the door that led to the staircase and emerged on the seventh floor. Employees milled about, and she quickly blended with them, making her way to the elevator that would take her back to the design team's office.

Her face was impassive, not even glancing sideways at the employees who stole surreptitious looks at her. However, her heart was beating fast at what she'd just done, and what she'd just heard and witnessed.

When Rina left the design team's office in a hurry, Lana had waited for two minutes before casually walking out after her.

She was just in time to see Rina, taking the side door and making her way to the rooftop, and

    Chapter SixtyDamien stopped in mid-stride as soon as he sighted Lana. Immediately, his expression softened and he looked relieved.The next instant, he tried to hide his relief when he saw that she was staring him with that annoying dead eye stare once more.Great, what had he done now?He stuck his hands in his pockets and moved closer to her, "Already ditching work on your first day?" He asked sullenly, as he moved to stand in front of her.She swallowed hard and avoided his eyes, ignoring his question. He narrowed his eyes in puzzlement, especially when he saw how tense her shoulders were.Did something else happen while he was gone? Come to think of it, Rina was also not in the office just now.He had come back to the office, pretending he wanted to drop off some files for her, but he had really just wanted to see her face once more and ask if she'd be willing to go out to lunch with him.It was maddening the way he could not stay away from her. It had been barely thirty minutes

    Chapter Sixty-OneRina walked out of the elevator, sullenly. The joy she'd felt earlier at still being alive, and also with the fact that the instructions she received was to her benefits, had evaporated.She crossed her arms under her bosom as she walked on, her face pinched with annoyance when she recalled that she had to go back to the office and act like all was well, and also receive orders from that bitch, Lana.Well, it was something she had to do if she was to get her plans in place.She rounded a corner and stopped short, her eyes narrowing into slits at the sight before her.Damien stood in the middle of the passageway, tenderly holding on to Lana. The affection in his face and the tender, loving look he was giving her gradually increased her anger.She dropped her arms and her fists bunched by her side. Lana had only just started working here and she'd had him come to the office twice in an hour.This had never happened when Rina was the head of the design team. Damien had

    Chapter Sixty-TwoThose words from Rina seemed to ignite a fury in Damien. He grabbed her shoulders tightly, his fingers digging deep into her flesh as he glared at her, his teeth clenched in rage.Rina watched him with a tiny, mocking smile. She knew what she'd said had triggered him and she meant every word of it.Lana walked over to them quickly, "What are you both doing?" She hissed in anger. "This is a business place. I'll appreciate it, if you both stop fooling yourselves in front of the employees!"Rina turned on her, her eyes shimmering with tears, from her fake crying. However, they were red-rimmed now, and glared at Lana with intense hatred."You don't tell me what to do, Lana...aarh!"She cried out softly in pain, as Damien dug his nails into her shoulders, deliberately.He could not stand her talking to Lana that way."Let go of me!" Rina said fiercely, her face twisted with the pain in her shoulder. She twisted and turned in his grasp, but it was too firm."I'll scream!"

    Chapter Sixty-ThreeAfter exactly twenty minutes, Zaire sent another text message and since it was already lunch time, Lana went down to meet him.She blew out a breath in nervousness, clutching her purse tightly as she stood waiting for the elevator that would take her down to the lobby. She had to admit she was nervous meeting Zaire, and wondered how much she'd tell him. In order to fully pacify him, she needed to tell him the reasons she was doing what she was doing and why she was at Romero.The elevator finally arrived with a loud ding, jolting Lana out of her thoughts. The doors slid open with a satisfying hiss to reveal a group of employee, arguing loudly with raised voices.At the sight of Lana, they blanched horribly and fell into a deafening silence. Lana frowned slightly as her eyes darted side to side in the elevator, checking out the employees uncomfortable stance.Some of them actually slid back a few inches, until they were almost touching the wall. They glanced at he

    Chapter Sixty fourAll Zaire wanted was to have a nice, little lunch with Lana. He'd missed her terribly and had not been himself since that night of the gala.He was consumed with different emotions all at once-Anger at the fact that she'd chosen to work with MAGIC, even after several pleas for her to work with his company, SERENE.Fear, at the possibility of old flames being rekindled between her and Damien Romero. Fear, at the possibility that she'd never be his, as long as she'd stepped her foot back into Romero.He'd been cranky for days, snarling and snapping at things and people. He regretted leaving so abruptly at the gala. Perhaps, if he'd waited to hear her excuse, then he wouldn't be so troubled, and feeling such heavy weight on his heart.When he finally summoned up the courage to invite her out for lunch, so he could hear what she had to say, he'd been stunned speechless.By her beauty and gracefulness, and the silent plea in her eyes. Zaire was sucked in all at once, a

    Chapter Sixty-five Damien had quietly returned to his office fuming, after Lana rejected his invitation to lunch.He walked into his office to find Liam giving him a knowing look. Damien's brows furrowed in a fierce frown at this.He pointed at him and said in a warning tone, "Do not say a word."Liam shrugged, a smug expression taking over his face. He knew Damien's offer to go for lunch was rejected by Lana, and it pleased him greatly. His lips twitched in amusement, as Damien brushed past him to his desk.He removed his jacket in a huff and draped it behind his chair, then sat down behind his desk. He flipped through the files which Liam had set on the table, wordlessly. His eyes were on the documents but his mind wasn't there."How much longer would she reject me?" He thought miserably, as his eyes scanned the work in his hands, absent-mindedly.He was a man of great pride and his ego had been bruised when she had rejected him, in front of Rina, nonetheless.

    Chapter Sixty-SixLana jumped at the sound of that familiar voice. Her eyes flew to the direction of the voice, and she blinked in surprise, when she saw Damien standing at the entrance.He looked huge, his broad shoulders stretching his jacket whose lapels were unbuttoned. The dining room was not small but to Lana, at that moment, it felt like it was, with Damien's huge form taking over the space.Her eyes dragged the length of him, from his legs until it stopped at his face, and their gazes held. He looked amazing, like some kind of Adonis, and she could not help a tiny shiver of relief run through her at the sight of him.She was getting very uncomfortable with Zaire at the moment.However, that relief was short-lived when she saw the dark scowl on his face. It seemed like the room grew a little darker, from the intensity of his frown and angry gaze on her. She blinked once more in shock when she recalled how he'd yelled her name.What was going on? Why was he here and why had he y

    Chapter Sixty-Seven As soon as they were out of the restaurant, Lana tried releasing her hand from Damien's grip but he was all too strong. She pulled back, but it did not even have a fraction of effect on Damien. She gritted her teeth in frustration, and dug her heels into the ground, pulling back with all her might. Damien growled low in his throat, aware of what she was doing, "Can you stop doing that?!" he whirled on her and said tightly. She glared back defiantly, and they stood on the pavement, glaring down at each other. "Just let go, already!" She shot back, just as tightly "We're out of the restaurant already. Zaire is not here, so let me go now!" He stared at her and was at a loss for words at the moment. Her cheeks were red with anger, and her gaze was not that dead stare she normally gave him. Her green eyes, which shimmered with unshed tears, was filled with hatred and pain. This did nothing to stop his gut from twisting with guilt. Damien felt his grip on her arm l

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,

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
