The whole room was dead silent as they all waited for the volcano to erupt. Seconds passed and the place was as silent as a deaf person’s world. This mysterious woman just broke a rule and the boss is just quite? What spell did she cast on him. They heard her blow the hair off her face loudly only for them to return back to her face. After doing that for a few seconds, their eyes widened in shock as they watched their boss tuck her hair behind her ear.
"Why don’t you want to leave?"The boss asked with furrowed brows."I’ll never tell,"she said shaking her head.Damian looked at the woman sitting on his laps and he felt intrigued by her. ’Did she actually know who he was? Was she behaving like that because she was drunk? What at all could make her drink so much?’ All these questions and more run through his mind as he stared at her."Where do you live?"Damian asked."Please don’t send me home, dad’s gonna kill me if I go home like this,"she pouted making him chuckle."And...""Boss she backed out,"Damian got interrupted as he was about to speak."What?!"He said calmly but irritation could be detected in his voice. "How dare she?! Find her and bring her to me now"Damian who was now standing instructed and two of his men quickly walked out. He stood with his gaze fixed on the door for a while before turning to the other person he was dealing with."What the heck are you doing?"He groaned, pulling the pen from the drunk woman’s grip. "Do you have any idea what you’ve done? ...Why the hell didn’t you stop her?"He yelled at the woman then at his men. They quickly bowed down their heads to avoid their boss’s gaze whiles shaking in fear."If this is how useless you’re all going to be to me then I should as well blow out your brains," he said simultaneously pulling out his gun from his pocket."We.....we’re sorry boss"one of them mumbled fearfully after peaking and seeing a gun pointed at them."Tell me one good reason why I shouldn’t pull the trigger"Damian said through clenched jaws."Don’t shoot them please,"Maya said, hugging him from behind instantly. Damian froze as soon as she wrapped her small frame around him. He could feel her heartbeat on his back and weirdly he didn’t want her to pull away. As if reading his thoughts, she tightened her grip around his waist and leaned closer."Please don’t shoot them, it’s my fault,"she said and Damian let out a chuckle. She then released him and walked to stand in front of me."Shoot me instead,"she said and Damian could not stop the frown that crept up his face. "I played with your papers and I’m ready to face the consequences but before you shoot, just know that I’m just an innocent girl who wanted to doodle ,"she said swaying back a little.Damian glared at his men who were busily watching whatever was going on,then at the woman in front of him.’Does she even know what she just got herself into?’ He wondered, shoving his gun back into his pocket."Since...."; Maya yawned loudly and rubbed her eyes stopping Damian from saying whatever he wanted to say."I have something to take care of, stay here and don’t move an inch, is that clear?"he warned and the woman nodded vigorously making him wonder if her neck ached. Without saying a word, he walked out to find talking to someone on phone and he seemed to be scolding the person."Sorry boss, family issues," he said with a fright as soon as he saw Damian."Well, unless you want to lose your job don’t ever mix business with family," Damian said and Ron immediately nodded.Ron had been working for Damian for five years now and the salary he had received within that span of time has changed the life of his wife and two kids, and honestly, this wasn’t something he wanted to lose so easily."Get the car ready," Damian instructed him before going back inside.Seconds later, Damian was walking outside with his coat draped around a sleeping figure he was carrying bridal style. The rest of his men followed closely behind wondering who had suddenly replaced their boss. The driver immediately pulled the back door open as Damian approached him.Damian then settled the sleeping figure into the back seat before making himself comfortable. Soon they were on their way to their destination."Please don’t go," the girl mumbled in her seat and Damian saw a tear roll down her left eye. He found himself extending an arm and wiping the tear off tenderly whiles caressing her smooth skin."Who are you? And why are you trying to dig out something I buried long time ago?" He whispered, moving the woman’s head and resting it in his shoulder before resting his gently on hers inhaling her sweet lavender scent.The car pulled up in a massive mansion and on cue, two maids emerged from the huge house and walked to the car."I can handle her, just get my files to inside," he instructed them and they nodded before doing as they were told."Sir, she flew out of the country, I called all the airports and asked them to cancel her flight but the plane had already taken off," Ron informed Damian who was walking into the house with the woman in his arms. He didn’t react to the piece of news given to him so Ron took it to himself to repeat but he was immediately cut off."I heard you the first time, I’m not deaf," Damian said,stopping in front of the elevator which immediately flew open."Wait in my study," was the last thing he said to Ron before he disappeared.After the elevator stopped at the fifth floor which for some reason Damian chose for it to, he found himself walking towards his main bedroom which he hasn’t let anyone into; not even his parents nor..." he shook his head, stopping the next name he was about to think of."I’ll be back," he whispered whiles covering his guest with a blanket.With one final look at her peaceful sleeping frame, Damian walked out to his study to finish his business.Maya groaned loudly as she rubbed the sleep off her eyes. She blinked several times to adjust to the morning light and hissed in pain due to her headache. "Drinking so much was the worst decision of my life," she mumbled whiles rubbing her forehead. Tilting her head to the left, she saw a glass of water with a note attached to it making her aware suddenly aware of her environment. She looked around the huge bedroom with her heart beating madly against her chest.Did she do something stupid after she was drunk? Whose room was she in? Why was she here? Did she come willingly? She quickly pulled up the sheets and sighed in relief when she saw all her clothes in tact. Her head was spinning badly but she needed to get out of her. Just when she was about to jump off the bed, the glass of water greeted her again.’Maybe the note had a clue’ she thought ripping it from the glass."You drunk so much last so you’re probably having a hangover. Take the aspirin and you’ll feel better. I’ll be joi
"Wife?" Alfred said shock evident in his voice. Who was this guy? And why the hell was he calling Maya his wife. His plan of getting married to Maya would backfire if he didn’t act fast. He didn’t want to lose Maya, not because he loved her. He just wanted to make her life a living hell and whoever this guy was, he was trying to mess his plans up."Wow, you see this uncle? What is there to deny again? What did you tell me? Maya would never do such a thing but here’s proof," Alfred said taking advantage of the old man weakness and it made Maya angry."Shut up Alfred!" She yelled and a deafening silence followed as everyone looked at her. "You are getting what you want right? Are you happy now? Or you want to see my head rolling on the ground? Huh?," Maya pauses and took in a deep breath, wiped her tears and continued."I loved you Alfred but I guess none of that meant anything to you because you didn’t think twice before inviting another woman into your bed," Maya who was already tired
"I....I...I am sorr...y," she stammered but it was already too late. Damian gripped her hard enough for her to feel her jaws crack. " If you ever want to lose your fingers, lay a hand on me again," he threatened her. Maya winced in pain as tears blurred her vision. She shook her head slightly whiles trying to get him to loosen his grip. After few seconds of struggle, Damian let her go.Maya immediately shifted as far away from him as possible."Did Alfred really pay this man to do all this to her? Why? Why wouldn’t he just leave her alone? Where was this man taking her to?" Maya sobbed silently as she rubbed her chin.Few minutes later, the car drove into a huge mansion Maya immediately recognized. This was the place she had run away from earlier. But why did he bring her here? What was going on?"Are you going to stay here?" Damian’s cold voice broke her chain of thoughts and she looked up to see him already standing outside."I.... I don’t want to stay here," she said shaking her he
"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
