"How dare you?"He yelled, punching the two men in front of him. Maya looked at himwith disbelief written all over her face."I swear to you, if I find a tiny bruise on her skin.....I’ll burn you two alive,"he told the guards who were ready to pee in their trousers any second."We....re sorry,"they chorused with their head bowed."You will be sorry when I set you on fire, now get out,"he yelled and just like that, the men disappeared.Damian pulled Maya up her feet as soon as the guards left."What are you doing?"Maya gave him a confused but he ignored her and pulled her with him. He pressed a button on the elevator and the door opened. They both entered and the door shut when Damian pushed some buttons."Where are you taking me to? Please talk to me?"Maya begged Damian but he kept his eyes in the door. They soon arrived and Damian pulled Maya out of the building. They took the straight path in front of them and turned right after taking about fifteen steps."Get in," Damian said when
Damian sat in his office, eyes glued to the documents Ron had just brought in. The place was silent since his house was far from the town. There was no sounds of cars passing because no one even knew there was a house there.’How did grandpa grab this land? Why did he choose such a remote area and how come dad knew nothing about it?" Damian thought with a frown. His maternal grandfather had a lot of wealth that was supposed to passed be passed to his mother, since she was the only child his wife could bear. Growing up, Damian learnt from the abusive relationship his parents shared that his dad married his mom for wealth.His dad Mike, was a cleaner at his grandfather’s company at that time. Aliya, his mom had just returned from college abroad and decide to pass by her father’s company to spend some time. That was when she run into Mike who was cleaning the glass window."Hello," she smiled at him."Hi ma’am," he greeted her bowing slightly. Every single person who worked with Aliya’s
Days passed and Maya’s toe had already healed. One maid was assigned to make sure she was properly taken care of as the doctor suggested. For the first two days, Damian was always around her. He strangely decided to work from home but then he suddenly disappeared leaving Maya stuck with the maids. The only time Maya was allowed out of bed was when she had to use the bathroom. She was so bored to death and the maids never allowed her to leave the room no matter how hard she tried to convince them."The boss will kill us madam,"was their reply anytime she requested to go out. She eventually gave up and all she did was eat and sleep.*******Damian glances at his watched and sighed. In the next ten minutes his plane was going to land and he couldn’t wait to see the one face that has been on his mind. What was she doing to him? The only woman he had felt this was towards was that gold digger sent to him by his brother Oliver.The thought of those two brought an unknown rage into Damian ey
Maya heaved a sigh as soon as Damian disappeared. He didn’t say anything about her being downstairs so that meant the maids in charge we’re not in trouble.’Thank goodness, I don’t want another person getting shot because of me," she mumbled. She picked up the remote of the giant T.V that was sitting in front of her and soon she was browsing through channels looking for something to watch. After browsing through serious of channels she felt bored and turned it off. Just when she was about to drop the remote, the cover page of the newspaper caught her eye."CEO OF TRUTH ENTERPRISES ANNOUNCES ENGAGEMENT TO AMANDA AMANDA." She read with her eyes wide. Alfred and Maya are engaged? So this was their plan all along. She always knew Amanda and her mother were up to something but to do this to her? Tears blurred her vision as her father cold words hit her again. She had herself countless times not to cry because they didn’t deserve her tears. None of them, including her father.She should be
"Wow, I guess Simons wasn’t wrong,"the old man smiled wrinkles appearing at the corner of his eyes."Grandpa, what have I told you about traveling without my knowledge?"Damian sighed clearly annoyed."See? Your grandfather came you visit you and you scold him?"the old man said sitting in the chair opposite Damian."So why did you come here, without telling me?"Damian questioned emphasizing on the last three words. Maya watched Damian with a frown on her face.’This man truly has no manners. How can he speak to his grandfather like this?’ She thought whiles shaking her head."Grandpa, I’ve always told you to inform me before traveling. You don’t worry about your health but I do. If....."Damian paused and looked at Maya. Maya raised a questioning brow in response to Damian’s gaze."If something happens to you, I won’t step foot at the hospital,"he told the old man."Where were you when Mother Nature was sharing manners?"Maya said making both heads snap towards her direction. One head ha
"Tony you have to eat something you’ll starve to death over that girl," Lisa tried to coax her husband into eating the food she had made. Deep down she didn’t want to do all this but she had to because her daughter’s marriage with Alfred was on the line.Maya really messed up. She was supposed to be married to Alfred and leave a lavish and luxurious life but she decided to cheat on him. That girl really didn’t deserve anything good. Taking in a deep breath, she smiled inwardly at the thought of her daughter carrying Alfred’s last name.Just then Amanda came through the door carrying shopping bags, a bright smile plastered on her lips."Mom guess what?" She said grinning. "I was at Alfred’s office today and he made me buy all these things online and within an hour all of them were delivered to me," she beamed.Lisa hurriedly got up from her seat and run to her daughter. Tony, who had been watching them shook his head and went to his room. Lisa scoffed and rolled her eyes as she watched
"M...Maya??"Amanda stammered, turning pale as if she had seen a ghost. "I’m sure you work here," Amanda said faking a smile to hide her shock.Maya bit her bottom lip and chuckled. This knuckle head sister of hers hadn’t changed a bit."How is dad?" Maya couldn’t stopped herself from asking."Dad? The last time I checked he disowned you," Amanda chuckled. "And if you think you’re ever coming back, lemme tell you this. The night you left, dad himself forbade us from ever talking about you. He even said you’re dead to him. He said he only has one daughter and that is me," Amanda said proudly."You’re pathetic," Maya scoffed."Not as much as you are," Amanda rolled her eyes."Now if you don’t mind, help me try a wedding dress. Alfred will be here soon," Amanda said in an attempt to make Maya jealous."Didn’t you hear what she said?" Damian chipped in pointing to the worker."Oh puh...lease," Amanda rolled her eyes."And who are you to question me? I do what I want so go back to work and
Maya groaned loudly as she sat lazily in the couch. "I have never been out for shopping this long," she said taking off her sandals. A maid immediately brought two glasses of orange juice on a tray."Oh my God thank you so much. I really needed this." Maya said taking one of the glass. Damian shook his head when he was offered a glass drawing Maya’s attention."Why?" She said with a slight frown."Not a fan of orange juice," Damian replied getting up. "Gotta run," he said glancing at his watch.Maya looked at him and smiled at how casual he was behaving. He has been behaving like this since his grandfather scolded him. Did he really have a change of heart?’Was he pretending for the sake of his grandfather?’Maya thought but shook her head slightly. There was no way he was pretending because everything he was doing looked and felt real."A penny for your thoughts?" Damian asked, breaking her chain of thoughts."What time will you be back?" The question came out of Maya lips before she
