Farewell!
(Westland Prison)“Farewell!"Voices echoed as several inmates lined up bidding farewell to a young man dressed rather casually.His lean build made his striking features come out more as he walked slowly towards doors where the guards stood with their head lowered, respect written in their eyes.“Farewell son!"An old voice sounded, as a man slowly walked towards the young man. His eyes were tender as he looked at the young man."Damien, you'll be finally leaving here today," The old man continued, chuckling lightly, patting the young man's shoulder."It's been five years, Godfather," Damien answered, his voice cracking.Honestly, he didn't want to leave, but his sentence was up and he had a lot of things to do in the outside world."I understand son," The old man chuckled, nodding gently, patting Damien's shoulder heavily."You've got things to do,""This old man won't stop you from leaving.""Thank you Godfather," Damien muttered, his eyes flickering with hatred as a glint flashed
A bodyguard
Damien's brows furrowed slightly as he watched a figure alight from the car.The figure was a lady, dressed in formal attire, her entire being radiated a cold aura as she took a slow steady steps towards Damien."Good morning," The lady, Maya greeted, stopping before Leon, sizing him up.Her eyes held no hint of arrogance, neither did it hold any contempt, but the cold aura that surrounded her was enough to make everyone want to stay away from her."Are you Damien Ravencroft?" The lady continued, her gaze meeting that of Damien."Yes I'm Damien," Damien answered, nodding slightly, a gentle smile tugged hr corner of his lips."I'm Maya," Maya spoke, her voice, void of warmth or coldness."My grandfather did ask me to pick you up," She added, maintaining her emotionless tone."Yes..."Maya frowned lightly at this wondering who Damien was and why her grandfather had said she should come pick him up."He also said something I don't think I would be agreeing with," Maya looked up, pushing
The Beckham family
Maya turned to look at Damien, noticing the deadly look and hate in his eyes. At first, when the car pulled over, she suspected they were friends, but now she realized they were far from it.She turned back to look at the people when it dawned on her that she actually knew them too. The two in front that were clad in designer wear were Joseph and Lily, while the bulky men walking behind them were obviously bodyguards.They were from the Beckham family and the same people who had orchestrated the whole plot to send Damien to prison.Instinctively, she stepped forward and stood in front of Damien. The Beckham family was a top family in the city that even she wouldn’t dare to mess with. If they wanted to put Damien back in prison, they could do it again; that was just how powerful and villainous they were.But since the old man had made him her responsibility, she wasn’t just going to watch it happen. She had to protect him. These were her thoughts.“The president is here to pick up a pr
Did you book an appointment?
Both Joseph and Lily froze in shock. Their faces paled while beads of sweat poured out of their pores and were almost soaking their clothes wet in just an instant. Though it shouldn't make sense that Damien’s words had so much effect on them, his tone, the deadly glint in his eyes, and how he carried himself were far different from years ago. It felt like he was someone different, a deadly entity they had infuriated, and soon he was going to unleash his hatred upon them.“Hmp, it seems he hasn’t learned his lesson yet!” Joseph harrumphed and looked away. He suddenly realized how stupid it was to let the words of a lowly man get to him. Regardless, his family was still very influential with power and status that shouldn’t be messed with.“Let’s go, Lily. We will teach him some lessons some other time.” He said to Lily while she nodded, and they both hurried into their car with their guards and drove away.Meanwhile, Maya joined Damien in the car too.He looked at her and smiled.“Tha
It wasn’t intentional
Damien instantly chuckled lightly when he saw the expression that emerged on her face. She was shocked to see him to the point that she was almost falling off the chair she was sitting on.“You put me there, yet you have forgotten the day of my release?” He raised a brow at her.Freya, the lady, swallowed hard. She wanted to say something but it suddenly felt like a bone was stuck in her throat. All she could do was grip the chair handle tightly as Damien's eyes were so penetrating, like he was the Grim Reaper who had come to collect her life.After all, she knew what she did. She was the lawyer who was helping him with the case years ago, until she decided to side with his enemies and framed him for fabricating the evidence.She was enjoying life with the benefits she had gotten from putting him behind bars, forgetting that he would ever be released.Smiling, Damien walked over and took a seat.“Since I am here, I want to see how you are doing.” He said.However, Freya knew there wa
Forgive me
Damien’s eyes narrowed into crescent moons as he stared at her. It immediately gave off the impression that he was suspicious of what she said.Seeing this, Freya shuddered and explained further.“I’m not lying to you. I swear. I felt terrible for what I did, but it’s not like I can go against such a powerful family. I’m just like a small fry to them.”She paused to catch her breath before continuing.“I spent days unable to eat, knowing I’ve wronged an innocent man and put him in jail. I couldn’t afford to lose my parents; that's why I did what I did. Please forgive me.”“You don’t look like someone who has been hunted by her conscience!” Damien huffed coldly, still unmoved by her words.Freya was on the verge of saying something when his words caught her off guard. She had no choice but to keep quiet as she knew he wasn’t buying all that she was saying.“I will come visit you soon!” Damien suddenly stood up and turned to face the door.Freya nearly breathed out in relief as she saw
I’ll give you two choices
Moments later, Damien arrived back at Moonlight Corporation. As he stood by the entrance, he thought about calling Maya to give him directions to her office, or if she could come down or send someone to come pick him up.Just as the thought crossed his mind, he heard a familiar voice from up ahead. “We need to hurry!” He looked and saw it was Maya walking alongside someone else— a woman clad in a suit, both of them had a tough yet panicked expression still as they hurried off. Damien couldn't help but wonder if she had yet to resolve what she was bothered about or not. Regardless, he approached them.“Damien, you are back?” Maya caught a glance of him as they were about to take a turn into the parking lot.She managed to squeeze out a smile as she looked at him while her assistant, Aria seized him up, wondering who he was.“Yes, I'm back. I see you are heading somewhere.” Damien inquired.“Ooh yes. You can wait around in the company until I'm back.” She suggested. Afrerall, whate
There’s no need for violence
“What?”Maya gasped in shock, almost losing her balance on the floor. Her eyes widened after her face became so ashen. She was trying hard not to believe what she just heard.Not just her but Aria too. Both of them looked back at the bed and without going to confirm, they were sure the man was dead. Even the doctors who stood by the side had gloomy faces as they weren't able to save him.Damien who just walked in, noticed all this, the tension in the air; however, he was perplexed as to how it was affiliated with Maya.“You aren't saying anything yet? Have you not made your decision already?” The man, Moses continued. His eyes were piercing daggers at her as he emitted killing intent. If he could swap Maya's life to bring his son back, he would have done it a long time ago.Both Maya and Aria trembled upon hearing his words again. Maya inhaled deeply, deciding to be calm about it. “I can't choose!” She said.“Hahahaha, what a nice joke.” Moses burst out chuckling. “I knew you were g
A magic trick
Everyone stared at Damien, puzzled. Apparently, he sounded like someone who had lost his sense of reasoning or perhaps he had bumped his head off somewhere and could no longer think properly with his brain.At least if his brain was that useless, his eyes should be able to see that the patient who was lying in the bed was no longer breathing and had become so pale that even at a first glance, one would be able to tell he was dead.But in Damien's case, that didn’t seem to be it. Unless, he was trying to add more salt to the wound, deliberately. Moses began to fume in rage. His chest was heaving as though he was being pumped with so much anger and hatred and would soon unleash it upon Damien ruthlessly.“Damien, I don’t know what you are trying to prove, but you should just stay put and keep shut!”Aria immediately pulled Damien forcefully to the back. She had a feeling that he would bring nothing but trouble the moment she saw him; that was why she had been looking at him like he was
Two lab rats
“A trick?” Moses gasped in shock for a brief moment before asking.“Sure. I want to see the trick you want to put on!” He replied, frowning deeply. His words might have come out sarcastically, but it didn’t matter to Damien.“I need two lab rats!” Damien lifted two fingers in the air as he spoke. Moses wanted to see where it would lead to after all. He turned and left the ward for a brief moment to ask his men to bring them over.Maya stared at Damien, but this time she didn’t have an expectant look on her face; instead, she was filled with so much doubt. She didn’t know what Damien was trying to prove, but she was having an ominous premonition that it would all lead to a dead end.Everyone kept watching in curiosity. Even Mrs. Pamela, Moses' wife, who had a pale face after crying for so long and was so mute due to the shock of losing her son, was now curious as to what was going to unfold next.The doctors were just as intrigued. Damien seemed to have greater talent than he wanted
