The Trillionaire's Heir

Chapter 02

Damon's - [P.O.V]

"Lilian a divorce?" I asked back as I could not believe she had just asked for a divorce... I didn't want to even believe those words came out from her mouth.

"You know what... It is getting too much... We can talk about this divorce after we have saved our daughter's life." I said to her as I held my bleeding heart walking out.

"Like I even care if she dies." She said from behind me and I paused in shock.

"Lilian, why would you say such a thing?"

"Isn't she your daughter?" I asked turning back to look at her as she spits over the floor as she looks at me.

"I discovered how much I hate poor people!" She says to me in hate.

I breathe out in skips.

Till I had finally exhaled the air in me.

This had to be the devil working.

"Lilian, stay with Esther at least." I said to her as I rushed out of the hospital.

I held my phone up as I called my garage landlord for help.

"Hello sir." I said.

"Yes Damon... How can I help you today?" He asked my tears to roll off.

"My daughter... She's dying and I have no money to save her life... Please help me." I said to him over the phone shaking.

"How much do you need?" He asked me.

"Like..." I said.

"Like half a million dollars." I said to him.

"What, that is outrageous." He replied.

"I will do anything... I have no one." I said to him over the phone.

"Anything?" He asked me.

"Yes, anything." I replied to him.

"Okay, so there is this deal but it isn't up to half, but you can earn at least 250,000 dollars." He said to me and my eyes opened widely as I waited for his next words.

"Come over first, I will tell you in person." He said to me as I barged into his house.

I was breathing heavily... Was walking fast and running all the while.

"Damon, are you okay?" He asked.

"Yeah, what's the deal?" I asked back.

"It's a drug trafficking assignment, if you can deliver this box to the captain at the capital city, he will pay you $250,000 dollars for it, so I want you to do this assignment for me and get the money instead, for your child's health." He said to me as I grabbed the box.

"Wait Damon... Be careful... It is very possible the government or Captain's enemies might have kept me on watch okay." He replies to me.

"Wait, why?... What is in this box?" I was a bit worried as to why all of a sudden papi, who happened to be my garage landlord, was someone the government and bad gangs would be watching closely or want to hurt.

"It is a box full of Cocaine." He said to me and I turned back facing with my hands shaking before I turned facing him again.

"You don't need the money anymore?" He asked me as I kept silent.

"What if I get killed...Papi?" I asked.

"Who then will save my daughter Papi?" I asked him back as fear ran through me.

"Well, what if your daughter dies?" He asked back.

My fear instantly disappeared as courage filled my bones... I would rather die than let my daughter die before me.

"Where's the place?" I asked as he handed me a gun, which I collected from him.

"Hope you know how to use this?" He asked and I nodded a yes to him.

"Head to Lake view street, you will find the captain there... He will find you so have no worries... If you see any guys with black clothes and skulls over the clothes... Shoot and run till you reach lake view street" He said to me kindly with a smile.

I knew he wasn't worth trusting because he showed me attitudes that proved he did not like me so much before but right now... I was ready to risk everything.

I was ready to risk my life.

I turned, opening the door as I ran off the house with the box over my hands.

I kept running straight headed by Foot to lake view street... I had no cash, so picking up a cap driver was not even part of things I could do.

Good thing I was a fast runner and full of fire to save my daughter from death.

I ran with my hair flaring left to right as I remembered how much I have suffered.

"You are too poor to be my son in law or a husband to my daughter Damon!" I heard the voice of Lilian's mum running through my head In return.

"You have no parents.... He is a poor orphan... A good for nothing useless unproductive trash called a man." I heard Lilian's older brother say this to me.

"I regret ever loving a weakling like you... A garage car repairer... A poor man!" I heard Lilian's voice banging through my head.

"No one knows who the fuck Damon is?... He has nothing under his name... Damon is a demon who came into my family to ruin my brilliant daughters life." I heard those voices banging through my heart.

"Foolish pauper!"

"Useless poor brat!"

"Irresponsible Weakling!"

Slaps I got from over my face.

Recalling the water and drink splashes that were thrown on me till I left.

"I don't care if she dies... I made a mistake marrying a poor man like you." 

I recalled when I was ill... How Lilian left me... How I could not take care of My daughter Esther because I was ill.

How when I struggled with Esther, taking her under the rain to her family house, so they could take care of her because I was too ill to attend to her.

Only for them to use the securities to throw me out of the house.

My mind leaves my memories as I noticed some guys were also running after me.

I pulled out my gun, firing it at them.

I was good at shooting... My father trained me into a killing machine for no reason... Reasons why I ran from home.

One of the guys came with a machine gun trying to get me but I bent dodging the bullets as I shot back at him.

His bike clashes over a car.

I walked closer to him.

Shot him properly as I picked up his bike.

I started it and sped up till I had reached lake view street.... The bad guys were probably coming for me as well.

I shot up into the air.

Three Yellow tinted cars parked in front of me.... I came down from my bike heading towards the car... The windows opened and I saw Captain... I never knew he was a drug dealer at all.

I saw him as any normal friend would.

"The money?" I asked him.

"Money?... Papi has been paid." He says as he pulls off his gun shooting me straight to my chest.

I fell to the ground.

Bleeding badly as Captain drove off speedily... The police were already headed over here too.

I crawled towards my bike.

I got over it and I started the engine with my last energy speeding into a corner.

Good thing my head was covered all the while with my hoodie and dark shades.

The police speed into the arena.

Blocking the bad guys and opening fire on them as I narrowly escaped from the police back who did not notice me.

I headed back to see Papi but he was nowhere to be found.

He used me?

"Where is papi?" I asked the neighbour.

"On his way to Paris now." The neighbour replies to me entering her house and shutting her door close.

I could not say a word anymore.

"Ahh!" I cried as I dipped my finger into my huge chest, digging deeper as I got the bullet and removed it from my flesh.

Afterwards... I used alcohol I found to pour over the injury on my chest, before cleaning the blood with a cloth... Which I also used to tie a foam I found... To cover the wound.

Then I used a tape; to tape all around the injury before wearing one of Papi's jacket he left to cover the fact that I had received a gunshot.

I walked to the power bike... I had parked, turning it on as I used the bike to head back to the hospital where I met Linda.

Soon afterwards, I had reached the hospital.

"Lilian..." I said to her as she looked at me.

"Oh your back now." She says, looking at me up and down.

"Lilian... Let's make a deal." I said to her.

"And what is that?" She says, looking away.

"Since you want a divorce so badly... How about I sign the divorce papers and you get money from your rich parents for Esther's health?" I begged her.

"Really? You will sign the papers if I do that?" She asked me.

"Yes, sure." I replied to her.

"Then there's no problem, I will save your daughter's life." She said to me as I looked at the mother of my child.

She then steps away from me before heading outside and I follow her slowly.

Good thing my bleeding had stopped but the pains in my chest were intense.

I turned to look at Esther's room before I turned back and headed outside.

"I won't fail you." I said before I left.
