Hearing this, everyone was very surprised. It was a very valid conclusion, yet none of them had thought about it if not for Damien's hypothesis. Maya in particular, had been feeling very complicated, angry, and guilty that what she and her team had worked so hard to achieve had led to such an end—ending someone's life instead of saving it like it was supposed to. She was either framed, or there might be something going on here that she didn’t yet have a clue about. At least, now, Damien has proven it wasn’t her fault, so she could rest assured that Moses wouldn’t try to bring her down, and her company still had a shot too.After this, she would make sure to thank not only Damien properly but also her grandfather for sending him her way; otherwise, what could she have done?On the other side, Aria was standing there with a pale face. Compared to everyone in the room, all she did was try to talk Damien out of it, showing him how much of a good-for-nothing he was.It was a good thing t

Damien, Maya, and Aria were able to walk out of the hospital even though it was in the process of a lockdown. No one was allowed to step out, but in their case, it was different.A few of Moses' men had escorted them out so they were able to verify that Moses had made an exception for them. Damien was impressed by Moses' men. They seemed quite reliable and skilled indeed.With how they worked, he felt they should be able to find the culprit soon enough. While he was pondering, Maya suddenly invaded his thoughts.“I never knew you were so skilled.” There was a genuine smile on her face. They screamed with both curiosity and gratitude for him. It still felt unreal that she depended on the same man whom she felt she might not even need.Not only did she have to rely on him, but he had proven to be a worthy asset.Damien rubbed his temple.“I guess I am filled with mysteries.” He joked.Maya nodded and decided to go with the flow, but there were some things she needed clarity about.“How

Moments later, Damien and the two ladies were now seated in the living room. The tension in the air was so hot, especially since Aerith was still staring at him with so much hostility in her eyes.It took a lot for Maya to calm her down. She saw Damien as nothing but a hooligan and wanted to bring him down at all costs. She had seen different kinds of men, and to her, Damien looked like scum.If it weren’t for Maya, she would have sent him packing by now.“So that’s it, Damien will be our bodyguard from now on.” Maya finally came to the end part after explaining for a while. Aerith who was staring coldly at Damien, suddenly shifted her gaze to Maya.“What do you mean by bodyguard?” She sneered before pointing at Damien. “This man looks more like a pervert but nothing else. Just look at his face; he seems like someone who will be interested in taking advantage of ladies just like he did to me.” She refuted coldly.Damien shook his head helplessly. The woman didn’t look like she would

Morning arrived. As usual, it was going to be a busy day ahead. Maya was fully dressed in her professional suit and strode out alongside Damien to head over to the company.They left Aerith, who seemed to have her matters to deal with back in the house. An hour later, they arrived at the company. Maya was about to hop down after unstrapping the seat belt from her chest when she noticed Damien still had his own on and wasn’t looking like he was going to hop down too.“Going somewhere?” She asked after taking a quick guess. “Yeah.” Damien nodded. He was lost in thought for a brief moment but had the intention of telling her before now. “I need to see a friend.” He added without looking towards her.“Okay. Take this card. If you need anything, you can use this.” Maya did not pry further into his business. Five years were stolen from him, so he had a lot of catching up to do. The least she could do was be considerate and help out in whatever ways she could, since he had been doing that

Crack!Damien suddenly stepped on the brake a few inches away from the company as soon as he caught sight of something. A fleet of SUVs had arrived in front of the company, and shortly, two figures hopped out of it along with so many bodyguards.Damien's eyes narrowed as the figures were very much familiar. It was Joseph and Lily. They were hurrying into the company while the bodyguards were tailing them for protection.Last time they met, they only came with three bodyguards, but now they had many with them. It was the first time indeed. They might always be pompous, they never looked like they needed so many men to protect them, not when just the utterance of their family name was enough to send shivers down most people’s spines.The Beckham family was among the top families in the city, so of course they had quite an influence. However, the funny thing here was that they had tripled their bodyguards for a reason— Damien. After witnessing his strength, they would be foolish not
