Chapter Seventy-Seven

Damien 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.

    Chapter Seventy-Eight"Eiik!"Lana squealed as she stumbled backwards, her hands flailing in the air.It all happened in the blinke of an eye and she expected to land on the floor, with her butt, but Damien's hand shot out and grabbed her waist, breaking her fall.She gripped both his shoulders as she straightened herself, her heart beating loudly in her chest. 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

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

Lana was even more surprised than him and was staring at him, speechlessly."What the hell, Lana?" She admonished herself, cringing internally as his eyes bored into hers intently, "you were supposed to just apologize and get this over with. What's with the clinging unto him?"Damien tilted his head, unsure of what he'd heard, "What did you say?" He asked tentatively. He wanted to hear the words from her mouth again. It was like music to his ears, but he did not quite understand why she'd say those words to him. What did she mean by, "please, don't go."Was she scared of the dark or was there something deeper than that going on here?He swallowed hard at that thought and watched her, staring at him with huge round eyes."What did you say, Lana?" He repeated softly and Lana started."Hmm...What? What did I say?" Lana repeated, giving him

Damien would never do such!"Rina was sitting across from Vera, wearing a tearful and dejected look. She was hunched in a sofa, looking miserable.She'd hurried over to Vera's mansion, as soon as she returned home and poured all her grievances on her ears, telling Vera of everything that happened that day in the office.Her eyes were puffed from too much crying and her nostrils red.Occasionally, she'd reach and wipe at her nose with a pice of tissue, which she yanked out of a tissue box by her side. But bitter tears still cascaded down her cheeks, glistening under the light of the chandelier which hung above them.She had been crying for two hours now, since she got back from work. She was tired, but she knew she can't stop now. She had to continue playing the victim fully before Vera, so she knew rhe severity of the case..Sh

It was her own ears playing tricks on her, and she'd not heard Bella well."Did you just say...Lana?" She decided to ask once more to be doubly sure. At the mention of Lana's name, Rina looked up at Vera sharply. She frowned and stood up to walk over to where Vera was sitting."Yes ma'am. He brought the Miss Lana home," Bella confirmed, "And from what I've heard, it seems like she will be staying here for a long time."Vera was infuriated. She rose to her feet, her face red with anger, "What?! Stay for a long time?!" She screeched, "Damien must be out of his mind!""What is it, Vera? What is it?" Rina asked, by her side, curiosity written all over her face.Who would be staying a long time and where? Was it Lana?

    Chapter Eighty-FourThe next morning, Lana was getting ready for work when a tentative knock came on her door. "Miss, are you awake?" Yvette's soft voice came "I'm coming in."She opened the door, and was surprised to see Lana already dressed. She quickly bowed in greeting.Lana looked superb in a three-piece pink suit, with pencil tailored trousers and a white button down inner shirt. She had diamond studs on her ears and a diamond bracelet on her wrist. Her red hair was swept to the side of her face, and it complemented the suit. She had on minimal makeup, which gave her amazing features a dewy, natural look. A white channel bag was sitting on the vanity table beside the bed, which completed the look."Good morning, Yvette." Lana greeted, giving the maid a cool look."Good morning, Miss Lana," The maid replied, unnerved by Lana's expression and she averted her eyes.She was quite shy with looking Lana in the eyes after what she witnessed in the hallway last night. She knew she wa

Damien's asked. His brows was furrowed slightly in worry, "Why? It's not to your taste?""No, no." Lana replied, shaking her head, "I've not tasted it, but I'm sure it tastes superb." As she spoke, she looked down at her plate and her mouth made a round "o", when she saw the food.Beef cutlets with a side of roasted vegetables and pasta. "Impressive." She mumbled as she took a bite of a juicy, crispy beef cutlet. They were actually her favorite, and she wondered how Damien had known about it.He was watching her now, eagerly anticipating her reaction, "Well, do you like it?" He asked, softly."It's really good," Lana replied, nodding her head in appreciation, at the rich flavour of chewy meat and vegetables that burst in her mouth with every bite she took, "Yvette's cooking is real

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.

    Chapter One Hundred And Thirty Eight Chairman Fernandez sat very straightbacked at the head of the table in Damien's office. Damien and Lana sat in chairs adjacent to him, while Paul stood behind him, whispering something in his ears.Paul finished and straightened up, and the chairman glared at Damien. 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

The head of IT department sounded very excited.After all, a major part of the crisis had just been evaded.Yes!Damien wanted to punch the air in victory, as relief surged through him once again. Relief so powerful that it almost sent him sprawling to his knees. The others noted his change in attitude and stared at him, confused."What? What is it?" 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?"

He ordered grimly, and Vera's eyes widened in alarm."No!" The obnoxious woman yelled, looking prepared to dig her feet into the ground if necessary, than to allow herself dragged out like before."I will not endure such ridicule again!"
