It only took about a week for Damien to get caught up in all the work he left behind but when he felt up to it, he returned to the bureau and continued working in his old office. With the news of his identity already all over the world, he had become a celebrity, constantly having to move around in secret to avoid being mowed down by fans and supporters. He rubbed his eyes for the second time that morning as he recalled how tiring his weekend was due to the several business and social outings he had to attend but now that he was in his office, he could have some moment of peace to himself. Or at least that was what he thought. There was a knock on his door before a head popped in. Helen, his secretary, smiled as she saw him and relayed her message.“There’s someone here to see you sir. Should I let them in?”Damien had no idea who could be here to see him but he could only assume that it was one of the various elites who had been vying for his attention since his ascension to fame.

Holly's face had drained of color immediately, her eyes frozen on Damien's as if struggling to comprehend the fact that the man she thought she knew wasn’t who she thought but the legendary warrior she had heard stories about, now standing before her.She stood still like a statue, oblivious to the crowd bumping into her and trying to move her aside, her gaze piercing as deep as into Damien's soul. Her expression showed a mix of shock, confusion, and hurt, as if she couldn't fathom why he had kept this extraordinary aspect of himself hidden from her for so long.How could she not have known? They lived together and all this while and she didn’t find out? Holly couldn’t believe it. Her lips parted as she tried to speak, but no sound emerged, her voice caught in the flood of her emotions.Damien smirked at her and immediately turned away from her, leaving Holly stunned and her mind reeling with thoughts, her expression still a clear picture of confusion and hurt that she felt.Damien qu

The three days passed very quickly, in a flash of anticipation, the news of the Reclamation Ceremony quickly spread like wildfire across every part of the nations both far and wide. Every major news network broadcasted only updates and news about the event with their headlines solely about the legend’s name. The man who was about to be known by the whole world. People from far regions rushed to the city, just to witness the historic event in person. They came to catch a glimpse of the legendary figure who had saved their nation from the verge of destruction, the hero who had fought against all several countries during the Great War.As the day of the ceremony finally came, the air was filled with expectation. Everyone held their breaths in anticipation, eagerly waiting to see the legendary God of War, the savior of their nation.The grand, circular hall, they fondly called "The Colosseum," was filled to capacity. People, media reporters, and cameras packed every seat and space. The

As Damien drove away from Holly and Jeremy, he headed straight for his last work place, his emblem formerly hidden, now on display for all to see. Soon, Damien stood before the National Bureau of Security, a massive building that still impressed him no matter how many times he saw it. The NBS logo on the entrance shone brightly, stirring up past memories.Three years had passed since he last visited the place, but the building looked exactly the same. The same modern design, same well trimmed lawn, and the same busy atmosphere bustling with people.Memories flooded his mind as he admired the building: working late nights, high-risk tasks, and going on missions with his fellow agents. Damien felt a strong sense of belonging and made his way into the building, wondering why in the world he gave all this up for a woman like Holly. Damien quickly climbed up the steps that led into the main hall, expecting to blend into the background, but that proved impossible. As he entered the lobby,

"Of course, I did! How could I have missed such a great day?!" Jeremy exclaimed, his lips still inches from hers, as they finally parted from their kiss.Damien stared at them wide eyed, his brows furrowed in horror and disbelief as he witnessed the intimate moment. Was this the man his beloved wife had fallen for? The man who managed to steal away what he thought to be his happiness? A searing pain gripped his heart, his mouth curling in disgust.Damien's eyes blazed with fury as he walked quickly towards the pair, his voice low and menacing. "What is going on here?" He fumed.Holly didn't flinch, her gaze still locked on Jeremy's face, her hands firmly placed on his chest. She ignored Damien's presence, paying him no regard whatsoever as she spoke, her voice dripping with sweetness."Jeremy, you're so amazing. I'm so glad you're here. Maybe now we can go on that trip you promised me." She smiled, her brows raised for confirmation from her new man.Jeremy's smile grew wider as he wr

Hours had gone by after Holly had ripped Damien’s heart out of his chest and by that time, he was crest-fallen. It was 7:11 am in the morning, a handful of hours after the confrontation, when Damien chose to check his phone only to come across a message that was left by his assistant hours earlier. He hadn't been able to fall asleep and chose to just sit on his side of the bed and stare at the wall. He wanted to ignore it but when his phone rang again, he gripped it loosely and answered the call. “Good morning, Lord Damien. Happy one year anniversary to you and your wife Holly. I hope that I haven’t caught you at a bad time, but I was hoping that I could stop by your home later to drop off all the gifts that the generals and royals procured for your coming out to your wife. I have recorded about thirty gifts so far and would be willing to keep the rest for when you and your wife arrive at the villa for the celebration. The empire’s greatest would like to celebrate you.
