The old woman and Cole went back downstairs to meet Walter. Cole took the old woman to Walter, they reached Walter who was still by the counter sipping from a glass of wine, that seemed to be his choice of drink. "Welcome" the old lady said and Walter faced her. Cole and him exchanged knowing smiles. "Thank you so much for the hospitality," Walter said lowly but that lowly attitude was just a facade. "It's a pleasure having you here" the old lady smiled, she seemed to like this man immediately she met him. "I'm highly honoured to be invited to this party," Walter said and dropped the glass of wine on the counter. "I heard about your intentions for my granddaughter" the old lady said, raising her eyebrows for confirmation of what Cole said. "Yes, I'm certain you heard right," Walter replied. "You are such a straightforward man, I really like that" the old lady commended. "Call your sister," the old lady muttered to Cole who was standing behind her. Cole quickly exited from t
"Mr Walter!" Lily cautioned, she couldn't believe this man could be so rude, insultive and sinister. She made a big mistake in almost thinking that he was a gentle man. "I'm sorry for my outburst but this waiter was crossing his limits, how dare he touch you?!" Walter yelled, angrily glaring at Damien who didn't seem shaken by the deadly glare. "That didn't not give you the right to humiliate him in such a way, that was extremely rude and insensitive, I thought you were a man that had respect for people but I guess I was wrong" Lily raised her voice. That caught the attention of some of the guests, they turned to face them, everywhere went silent. "You were really defending a waiter, he was crossing his limits, trying to touch you and you are comfortable with a low life touching you!" Waiter raised his voice too but decided to lower his voice because people were already watching them. "Fine, I'm sorry" Walter apologised, Lily wasn't expecting it that fast but she feels Damien des
Damien balled his fists, he stood still, he didn't move a muscle, that attack ruined his life, it took the life of his parents and his brother. He couldn't still wrap his head around the real culprit behind that attack or the secret behind it but now this new guy, Walter has just given him a lead to finding the missing piece he has always searched for. Walter's actions, words have just shown that he knows something about that attack. "You are the one who can lead me to the culprits or maybe you are the culprit?" Damien muttered lost in his own thoughts. He tried to take another step but Walter's words replayed in his mind. 'New threats might have just arrived in your life'Those words seemed coded but meant a lot. " What are those new threats?Who are you really?" Damien questioned himself. He has never been so confused in his life but one thing is for sure that is Walter having knowledge about that attack. A waiter's shoulder hit Damien's and that jerked him from his thoughts.
Damien stared at the box earlier with doubt in his mind, he didn't know if it was safe or not to open it, it was covered with a flowery wrapper making it more suspicious.. He even imagined it to be a bomb that would explode and kill everyone including him who must be the main target. Damien cleared the doubt from his mind and opened the box, he was shocked when he dipped his hand into it and the next thing was his mother 's locket. Damien could feel his hands shaking not out of fear but out of anger. "What does this mean?" Damien gasped in disbelief… Damien looked around for the waiter who gave him the gift but he wasn't in the kitchen. Damien left the kitchen and went to the sitting room. He looked around but the waiter seemed to have disappeared into thin air. He walked back to the kitchen and stared at the locket, he could recognize this locket anywhere, his mother always, wore everywhere she went, on every occasion and even including that unfortunate attack. Strangely they
"She's just bluffing," Lily muttered and sighed. "When will Dora bring back the baby?" Lily asked pouting cutely, she has missed her child so much. Damien brought out his phone and called Dora. Dora is baby James'nanny, she has been working for them for months now and she has proved trustworthy, Lily can't leave her baby with simply anyone but Dora is a nice and good woman, she takes care of baby James like her own son.. Lily has to win this contract and take care of the baby, making her presentation couldn't work at all. She had to allow Nanny Dora to leave with baby James on a vacation. She's not choosing a contract over her child but the only way to escape grandmother's trap was to win that contract. Damien hung up and raised up his head to face Lily. "What did she say?" Lily asked anxiously, she's missing her baby, the whole saga about Walter hasn't given her any time to call Dora today. "She's bringing James tonight, it's just the traffic that's delaying them" Damien repli
Walter clenched his fist more tightly, his other hand went under the table cringing it. He hopes she's not going to do what he's thinking but that would extremely infuriate him. "I'm sorry…" Lily muttered and paused.. " I can't accept your gift, it's beautiful and I really appreciate your generosity… "Lily resumed but Walter cut in sharply. " I'm not giving this to any charity organisation or an unimportant person, I'm giving it to you, you are special Lily " Walter said rather calmly, he can't believe that he is really calm. "You might not be donating to a charity organisation but I don't deserve this gift. It's duly appreciated that you thought of me and got this but I'm not accepting it. I have to refuse, I'm sorry" She refused the gift and took her hand away from the table. Lily drew baby James's stroller closer to her. The old woman was boiling inside, she felt so embarrassed by her granddaughter's stupid attitude. She can't understand this girl, she just rejected a neckla
Walter grew infuriated when she stood up, he has never been so insulted in his life and especially by a woman. He couldn't allow himself to get embarrassed by her, he stood up and grabbed her arms and tried pulling him to himself. He was shocked when her hand landed on his face, he didn't see the slap coming, the slap was painful, his cheek started boring, burning and stinging like a scorpion's bite. Walter lost balance and landed on the chair holding his cheek in pain and shock. No woman has ever raised her hand on him, instead they adored him not only for how handsome he is but for his money and wealth, any woman would give her life up to him here in be in Lily's position. Walter was so astounded, he didn't know when tears started gathering in his eyes, it was too sudden for him to control his feelings right now. Drake's mouth opened wide when she slapped his boss, that slap sounded like thunder, so loud, Drake didn't know when he touched his own cheek. He felt pity for his b
The old woman could never imagine this pretentious man could hit her, he's just a monster, a wolf in sheep's clothing. The old woman was filled with regret on how she almost sold her granddaughter to this bastard. She held still held her cheek trying to hold her tooth in her mouth, she swallowed the blood in her mouth, when he told her how greedy she was, she perfectly understood what Lily always meant by saying Damien was a good man, he would never harm or even insult her upon her ill treatment towards him. The grieved old woman regretted ever treating Damien badly. She immediately closed her eyes, passing out. "Grandma!" Lily screamed but Dragon one of Walter's guards was holding her tightly. "Lock the b*tch up!" Walter commanded. He would teach Lily a lesson she would never forget. He turned to Lily and shot deadly daggers at her. He walked to her, each step he took frightened Lily, she was trembling all over. Walter grabbed her hair. "You will pay for this, Y-you
