AFTER THE wedding ceremony, it is now the time for the reception. The guests and the reporters were there, and all their attention was on Damian and Anya. Some guests wanted to congratulate the couple personally, but they couldn’t.No one can approach Damian and Anya since they are busy answering questions from the reporters.“They’re annoying. Really,” Ava, one of the guests, said while giving the couple a deadly glare. “The wedding of the century? Tch. No one even gave that title to me and Carson when we got married.”“It is because Carson isn’t the heir. Although he is a member of the Ferremento family, he is just an ordinary person like you,” Ethan, who was sitting beside her, told Ava. “That title could only be given with two powerful heirs.”
EARLIER at the engagement party, Damian purposely detached from the crowd to find Carson. He was successful at finding him, but he never thought that Carson would be in the garden alone, and it seemed like he was wandering about something.“Carson,” Damian called, and Carson immediately turned his face to him. “I need to ask you something.”“Don’t you know how to read the room? I’m here because I don’t want to talk with anyone else, and your presence will just bring the reporters here,” Carson replied, gritting his teeth. “If you are here to mock me, then do it next time. I’m not in the mood—”“Do you know something about the Red Snake Organization?” asked Damian, not letting Carson finish his sentence.
ANYA SMILED sadly, shaking her head as she looked at Ava in disbelief. “We never get along, to begin with, so I understand that you are thinking lowly of me like that. But… Seriously? Do you have the same thoughts about Dollie?”Upon hearing those words, Ava’s mouth widened, realizing that Anya didn’t know how much she hated Dollie—her whole existence.She felt alarmed at first, but as she thought that Dollie was already dead, maybe she could turn things around.“I don’t know what your impression of Dollie is, but she isn’t as kind as you think,” Ava said, her voice low. “She’s manipulative, and will always get what she wants, no matter what the consequences will be. Dollie is that kind of girl, and I pity you because you also fell into her tra
THE TIME passed by, and it was already Anya and Damian’s engagement party. It was held in one of the exclusive hotels of the Montgomery family. Tons of reporters were in the lobby, gaining exclusive scoops that they could use for their reports later. Almost all the wealthy families were there, including influential government officials and famous celebrities, knowing they should try to be on Damian’s side since he was the next heir. Although everyone was trying to compliment or strike up a conversation with Damian to befriend him, Damian didn’t care about anyone. Instead, his full attention was on Anya and on ensuring the event proceeded smoothly. It was a habit of his that is quite hard to remove, given that he worked as an event organizer before. “Tch. Why is he still working at his own engagement party? Is he trying to be humble or what?” Ava, who was sitting with Catela on her lap, muttered in annoyance. “Both of them are annoying, trying to act humble despite having all that
AS DAMIAN moved to the next step of the other thing he needed to deal with, he couldn’t help but think of the grandest revenge he could give to the enemy, whoever that person was.‘That person probably doesn't have any important person he wanted to keep aside from his wealth or influence,’ Damian thought, his brows frowning while sitting in the corner of the room.He was waiting for Gerald. According to Leo, they managed to change Gerald’s identity and find him a job in another City as a Customer Service Representative Manager.‘What could bring that person the most pain if I take it away from them?’ asked Damian at the back of his mind. ‘It must be so important to the point that he will feel miserable after losing it… Like what he did to me.’
“I KNEW where we were going as soon as I saw the flower bouquet on the back seat,” Anya said, a small smile forming on her lips. “I’m sure that she will be happy, seeing that you visited her.”Damian only smiled in response. He placed the flower bouquet in Dollie’s grave afterward. He also placed the paper bag on the floor, and it contained the shoes he was about to give Dollie on her graduation day before.“I’m late, aren't I?” Damian asked, crouching as he removed the dried leaves on Dollie’s tombstone. “I’m sorry if I visited you just now. I wasn’t even able to be with you in your last moments.”His voice cracked, yet he did his best to stay calm. He forced a smile and held Anya’s hand afterward. “But I’m fulfill
“THANK YOU, Father,” Damian said, placing the files back in the black envelope and giving it to Veron. “I appreciate that you trusted me in knowing such dangerous files like this.”“Because I know that you will only use it for good.” Veron took the black envelope, placed it back in the vault, and closed it. “Anyway, place your right hand here, son. I’m now giving you access to this place.”Veron pointed at the squared glass on top of the table with pastel blue lights illuminating it. Damian placed his hand there, and suddenly, a blue line scanned his palm.“Request for authorization, granted,” the computer-generated voice spoke again, and Damian removed his hand from the glass afterward.Both of them went
“WOW… What is this place?” Damian asked, scanning his surroundings. “I have never seen something so expensive like this,” he added, his gaze focused on a dog figurine made of pure gold.The whole room looked minimalistic yet expensive simultaneously, with its walls colored blue and white. It was a spacious, horizontal room that looked like an IT department room because of the security cameras and monitors surrounding it.Not only that but there were red lasers as well, which would trigger the alarm once someone’s body had contact with it.“This is where I hide everything important, and that is why the security system here is like this,” Veron said, placing his right palm on the side of the wall. “The gold bars, expensive, limited edition figurines, auction paint
“I understand.” Damian nodded and lifted his shirt, showing his toned body and his back that was already clear from scars. “Doctor Raine told me already that I can have a tattoo here again, so there is no problem with that.”And unlike before, he wasn’t afraid now. Rather, he felt more excited about the new opportunities that were coming for him. Damian didn’t have any connections and influence before, but now, everything is different.The tattoo artist started placing a tattoo on Damian’s back upon Veron’s signal. The silence filled the room, and only the sound of the needle piercing toward Damian’s skin was heard.Some of the blood was flowing down, yet Damian didn’t seem to care. The physical pain is incomparable to the emotional pain he felt when he had
