Vended to Don Damon You owe me
Damon’s POVThe smell of strong antiseptics hit my nose before my eyes fluttered open.White walls. Green curtains. Beeping machines.Was I…Holy Fuck.A fucking hospital.I was lying on an antiseptic-soaked bed, tied to beeping machines and IV stands.What exactly had happened? The last thing I remembered was being hit heavily and spinning off the ground, rolling all the way over to the edge of the bridge.I think I’d blacked out then.I tried to sit up on the bed, and a sharp pain shot through my lower abdomen, searing through my brain, and I groaned out loud.“You might want to take it easy,” the familiar, annoying voice called from behind me. “You were badly hurt, you know.”I whipped my head to the side to see Luca lying on the bed a few feet away, equally tied to these fucking machines, a bored look on his face.He was hurt too?“Ugh, fuck,” I groaned, sitting up straighter and trying to crack my bandaged neck. “What happened?” I queried, glancing over at him.He smirked, equall

Damon’s POVIris. Balloons. Lots of it.What was going on? Why was she here? And with balloons?I was still trying to figure this out when my gaze shifted to the woman standing behind her, and all sounds faded, the universe growing extremely quiet. My chest constricted painfully.Silver-gray eyes are the same as mine, pale, beautiful skin. The voice.Everything was the same as I remembered.Now, what was she doing here?I stood frozen on the spot, watching her without saying a word. Was this a shock response? I couldn’t tell.I just knew my mouth and heart were heavy.As I stared at her, a particular memory resurfaced. A memory from my childhood, when everything was rosy and…beautiful.A memory I banished to the depths of my subconscious.“Damon…” she started, stepping past Iris, who looked concerned for me, and unknowingly pushing her to the side. “Are you—“I stepped around her as she came close to me, putting out a hand to steady Iris who had swayed to the side. “What are you doing

Iris’s POVI stumbled into the garage, my vision blurry from the tears that streamed down my face once I got past the reception.I didn’t want to give that receptionist something to laugh about.Meanwhile, it didn’t take Damon long enough to remind me I was just a pet to him, seeing how he’d spoken to me earlier on.How could he be so harsh? Couldn’t he at least consider the effort we put into arranging all of this, and still running over here when we heard he was sick? Balloons in hand and all?But he hadn’t said anything about the birthday. He hadn’t denied it or accepted it either.So, was it his birthday, or not?Groaning out loud in frustration at the confusion that fogged my brain, I kicked my foot against the tire of a car that was parked to the side, walking away without glancing back as it beeps continuously.I’d always known Damon to be cold, but there was something to this side he showed to me this morning that irked me. Worried me. The harsh lash-out had held a lot of vuln

Iris’s POVI rolled my eyes at him, letting out a whoosh of air in annoyance.What was his problem?“Gary,” I bit out, glaring at him, “are you trying to get us killed?”“I’m sorry,” he murmured, pressing his lips together, “I just thought I could add a little bit of drama to my entrance, but I guess it was a little too much.”Why was he apologizing like that? Immediately?Then he glanced over at Marianna. “And what’s your beautiful teacher doing here?”I sighed and started to walk away, ignoring his question.“Iris, wait!” He called out from behind me, “The boss asked me to take you back to the manor.”“I’m with my teacher, as you can see,” I snapped, not bothering to look back at him. “I’ll head back later.”“That’s not happening,” he argued. “I had orders to take you back, and I intend to do just that.” “Why are you even with her?” He added after a heartbeat, and I whirled around then to glare at him. “Heard she showed up at the manor. I was out running errands for the boss and you

Zach’s POVI stretched out fully atop the full body scanner, closing my eyes and taking a deep breath.This was going to be about the thousandth visit to my doctor, for the necessary check ups I had to subscribe to.The thing is, my heart’s failing. It’s been failing ever since I was a kid, lol, and yet, here I am.“I’ll administer the shot now, Zach,” the doctor announced, coming to stand at my side with a syringe. “Please put away your phone.”I rolled my eyes and let out a frustrated sigh. “Is the shot always really necessary, doc?” I demanded, not feeling up to this check-up today.“You know it’s necessary,” he replied. “It’s a necessity that cannot be overemphasized because it helps regulate the shock your body goes into once we get into the whole process.” He pulled the syringe, stepping closer. “Now, please put away the phone.”Sighing, I handed it over to the medical attendant who stood to the side, exhaling slowly in readiness for the shot. I hated syringes.The doc stepped

Damon’s POVI glared into a pair of red-rimmed, furious eyes, my jaw ticking loudly.Why did they seem familiar?The stranger had seemed to be brimming on the edge of a volcanic eruption of rage earlier on when he’d bumped into me. But now he seemed calmer, surprised as he stared at me.And what did he fucking say to me?We stood that way for a moment, glaring at each other, Luca silently watching from the sidelines.Then I took a step back from him and adjusted the leather jacket I had on.I had other worries to tend to, so I wouldn’t let a walking snob piss me off or cut into my time.I mean, he did already. Luca and I were just on our way out of the VIP section of the hospital when the stranger bumped into me, the pills in his hand clattering to the floor.So yes, he cut into my time already. But I would let it slide, just this once. There was stuff more important than him.“Let’s go,” I directed at Luca, although I still had my eyes fixated on the slightly familiar face.As I took

Damon’s POVThe sleek black car pulled up to the curb as soon as we stepped out of the hospital, and walking up to it briskly, I pulled the door open and got in.Marcus, who was just getting out of the driver’s seat to move over to the other side and hold the door open for me, paused in his steps as he saw I had already slid into the backseat.He kept his gaze fixated in curiosity, on Luca, who walked over to the other side and got into the backseat with me.“Marcus,” I bit out, glaring at him in the rearview mirror. “Back to the manor,” I added, and he quickly strapped on his seatbelt and ignited the engine.As the car rolled onto the highway, I leaned forward and tore off the jacket, feeling hot all over, despite the air conditioner blasting cold air inside the car.“You shouldn’t have done that,” I started after a while, breaking the heavy silence in the car, and Luca, as if sensing I was referring to him, and almost like he’d been waiting for this moment, whipped his gaze to me.“

Damon’s POVTwenty-six years agoThe loud popping sound of the confetti popper exploded in my ears as I stepped through the doors, and throwing my backpack to the side, I slapped my palms over my ear, the confetti foams falling everywhere around me. In my hair. On my face. In my mouth.“Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear sweet boy, happy birthday to you!”The two maids clapped cheerfully, their faces all smiles, and I looked around for the one face I always looked forward to seeing every day I came from school.And seconds later, I heard her voice. Loud, cheerful, and smooth.“Hooray!” She screamed, appearing from behind the curtains with a large box in her hand. Her face all smiles.“Mom!” I shrieked excitedly, sprinting towards her, and setting the box down on the table, she scooped me into her arms.“Happy birthday, Bambino,” she whispered, smiling down at me, then she leaned in and brushed my hair away from my eyes. “Let’s go cut your cake, shall we?

Damon’s POVThree months earlier“So, you got a new tattoo?”The voice of the therapist pulled me out of my thoughts, and I pulled my gaze away from the window facing the garden, looking down at the still-fresh tattoo on my arm.“Yeah..” I murmured, tracing a finger across the face on the tattoo, lingering around the eyes that stared back at me.“When?” The female therapist asked, and I shrugged, not taking my eyes off the tattoo.“Just a few weeks back, I guess.”“Really? Can I see?”“Sure,” I mumbled, heaving a sigh.She rose to her feet and moved around her desk, coming over to where I sat and leaning forward behind me.“Wow,” she exclaimed quietly, a little amazement in her voice. “That’s a unique face. A pretty one, at that.”“Yeah, I know right?” I replied, the corners of my lips tilting up in a small smile. “It’s a face I keep seeing in my dreams, Andrea.”Andrea, my therapist, stood back then and observed me closely, almost lik

Iris’s POVA year laterI stood at the floor-to-ceiling window on the balcony of the condo, admiring the beautiful night view, my mind a melancholic mess.It had been that way since that night after Damon had fallen off that cliff.And we hadn’t seen him since.There was nowhere we hadn’t looked.But Damon was nowhere to be found.I’d cried and cried for months, but to my greatest despair, that was all I could do.Sometimes I wished Luca hadn’t showed up with Gary when he did, because then I’d have been killed too, and I wouldn’t have to deal with this pain.At least I’d be dead and buried, probably alongside him.It was as I’d seen him falling off that cliff that I knew I was in love with Damon Vyon, my heart falling right out with him.And I never got a chance to tell him how I felt…“What are you thinking about?”I whirled around to see Luca standing at the balcony door, watching me with a sober expression on his face.He too, had not remained the same ever since Damon disappeared

Iris’s POVThe gun fell out of my trembling hand, clattering to the floor.Did he just ask me to shoot Damon?No, no. I couldn’t.Sighing and pushing his fingers through his hair, Zach bent down and picked up the gun, approaching me menacingly. “Don’t piss me off, pretty girl,” he snapped, his tone laced with derision, as he pressed the gun into my hand again. “Shoot him, I said.”“No!” I screamed now, intentionally throwing the gun far from me, and as it tumbled over the cliff, Zach let out a deep growl and whirling around, he struck me heavily across the cheek.“Fucking bastard!” Damon yelled, struggling viciously to break free of his chains, and tears blurring my vision, I stared down at him, knowing very well that this would end badly.How could we possibly get out of this?What miracle could happen?“Hey you,” Zach snapped his fingers at one of his men, “get me another gun.” They quickly came forward, presenting him with a new gun, and he took it, observing it closely.“Now,” he

Damon’s POVI stared up at the chief coward—Zach, was it?—my vision blurring.Ah. So it was him? The one I’d replaced?This story he recounted.. triggered the memory of a day I’d kept buried and locked up, unconsciously, the pain coming right back and whipping me emotionally.That little boy from back then. I stared at the scar on his chest, remembering how I’d felt seeing him bleed out on the floor that day.“You seem to be getting your fucking memories back, don’t you?” Zach spat, his eyes growing darker than they were already.Of course, that day had been a fucking bloody day. So how could I forget?*****Fifteen years ago“W-what are you doing here?” The man who called himself my father stuttered, staring at me with a fear I’d never seen in his eyes before.We stood facing each other on the rooftop of his new law firm, a stick of cigar in his hand, dark circles underneath his eyes.Had he even been sleeping? Well, how could he sleep, after he sold me off to that maniac of a mafia

Damon’s POVHe glared at me for a long time, saying nothing, his eyes taking on a distant look. Then rising to his feet, he cleared his throat.“It’s your money, quite alright,” he started, shoving his fingers in his pocket, alongside the flash drive, “but this money is nothing compared to what you stole from me, Damon.”What the heck was he talking about? What exactly would I steal from a stranger like him? Someone I knew nothing about?He stopped pacing for a while, staring down at me. “You might have forgotten,” he scoffed, “seeing how fucking clueless you look right now.”“Look,” I started, frustration climbing into my tone, against my will, “I don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about, or how you got your hands on that. But if it’s the money you want, you can keep it.” “Just let her go,” I added, nodding in Iris’s direction. “She has nothing to do with any of this.”He looked back at her for a moment, then threw his head back in a maniacal laughter, shaking his head.“Who sai

Damon’s POVThe slap of the wind on my face was what woke me up this time. Slowly, I peeled my eyes open, every part of my body aching, my head throbbing painfully.Where was I now?Fuck…Iris..There was no time, and here I was..lying around, letting that weird woman keep putting me down.Looking around, I slowly realized where I was. On a cliff? How come? How did I get here? That weird woman couldn’t have carried me here all alone, right?This was a cliff..had to be. That was one explanation for this much breeze and open space.Grunting, I tried to move around, and I was a bit disappointed to find that I was still bound by wrists and ankles. What was I expecting?I tried to turn around then, and someone’s foot pressed into my back, pushing me back to the ground.“Well, well,” an unfamiliar voice rang out from behind me, cold and rusty, and excited, “look who we have here.”I tried to turn around, to see who had joined us, but the person that had their stinky foot on my back pressed i

Iris’s POV“Where the fuck have you been?”I was jammed in the backseat of the moving car, between a woman who smelled heavily of putrid blood, and the man who had slapped me earlier, my hands and feet still bound very tightly, the ropes cutting into my flesh.I had no idea where we were headed.“Well,” the woman cleared her throat, “is that how you thank me for making this fucking easy for you?”Sighing, the man leaned back in his seat and pulled the woman into his lap.“Unlock the windows, Dante,” he ordered, twisting his nose upwards, “it smells so fucking rotten in here.”Then he turned his attention to the woman in his lap. “I’m sorry, my beautiful Anna,” he murmured, stroking her hair. “I was just carried away with all that’s happening, you know. Everything’s happening all at once, and I mean, it’s good. Trust me.”She smiled, reaching into her pocket and retrieving a pack of cigarettes. “Okay..” she murmured, “what do you have to say about my performance?”“I’m duly impressed,

Iris’s POVI’d thought this vile-looking man could be bluffing when he’d insinuated that he had Damon, but from the way his eyes sparkled right now, I feared it wasn’t just an insinuation. He’d meant it.And what was that he said? He wanted me to kill Damon? Why would I do that? Why would he want that? I mean, it was clear now that this man was an enemy of Damon’s, but why would he want me to kill Damon?As I glared up at him, my eyes burning, my heart ramming hard against my chest, I tried to regulate my breathing. Tried to mask the fear that now clouded my senses, making my tongue as heavy as lead.I swallowed hard, wincing from the pain of my hair being pulled right down to the scalp. “You want me to do what?” I demanded, my tone laced with that same fear I tried so hard to mask.Scoffing, he let go of my hair and rose to his feet. “You try to hide it,” he started, “but you seem to be quite distressed by what I’d just said.” He paused, shoving his palms into his pockets and glaring

Is that truly so?”“Yes, boss,” he replied. “He’s currently at the warehouse we’ve prepared. We await further instructions from you.”“Great,” I murmured, thumbing my beard.I didn’t think it would be so easy to capture Damon Vyon. I’d spent all these years planning, envisioning, dreaming, wishing. Seeing how deadly he was. And now, Anna had pulled it off like it was a fucking walk in the park.I was dul
