He’s an imposter
She followed the nurse slowly to the room he was admitted, her heart beating fast.
She was really scared but why?
They got to the room and the nurse left immediately leaving her in her own fear .
She summoned enough courage and entered the room.
He was awake and smiled when he saw her which made her feel at ease.
‘ How are you feeling?’ she asked.
‘ Am feeling alot better’ he answered beaming with smiles.
She returned his smile as she looked around the room observing with her heart far away from noticing anything there.
She felt something was wrong, after passing out in the club , she had been so uneasy.
Even when he was admitted into the hospital, she ensured that he was being attended to. It was not until the doctor declared that he was out of danger that she kept calm.
She hasn’t been so worried sick for a person, especially a guy (whom she claimed she hated). Even when Rhea was sick, she didn’t give her half of the attention she gave to Damien.
What was really going on? Was Rhea right when she said she was in love with him?
No ! it can’t be true, she thought.
She thought for a while when she felt warm hands caressing her skin bringing her back to reality.
It felt a little awkward as she freed herself.
“Come, sit close to me” he requested making space for her to sit .
She followed her heart and sat down avoiding eye contact with him.
‘The doctors said you brought me and was really worried about me’ he started. ‘Thanks alot’.
She couldn’t say anything, all she did was smile.
He observed her for a while and started a conversation, they talked firstly about her relationship with Rhea and then what really happened at the club which she explained to the best of her knowledge although keeping him in the dark that Rhea actually planned it.
‘I know right now your wondering what’s going on. Why am I being so nice and all of it…’ It started slowly trailing off.
Cindy said nothing , she just nodded and looked away.
‘ I have been like this, being nice has always been in me’ he smiled broadly looking more handsome which made Cindy admire him the more.
‘Am the nicest guy, you have ever known Cindy’ . She took the words in with a scowl.
Her past experiences with him was nothing like being nice, Which nice guy breaks into a lady’s apartment?
‘ Then tell me the whereabouts of my sister ‘ she demanded.
‘Sure I will do that once I ensure that you have gotten the justice you deserve’ he said rubbing her palms gently.
She didn’t take that lightly she flew up in anger and confusion.
‘What are you talking about Damien, what’s the justice all about?’
‘Axl really hurt you by assaulting you. I could have gotten someone else to do the job but I felt you really deserve bringing him down’ he answered with a smirk.
How do you know he was responsible?
He chuckled before replying,
‘ As I told you my dear Cindy, he confessed all his crimes to me in his drunken state ‘ .
Cindy sighed hard everything was really becoming complicated,
‘Get the job done and I promise to give you the whereabouts of your sister’ .
‘What if I get it by tommorow?’
‘Then you find out the truth about your sister’.
********
‘What did you say ?’ she asked with beaming smiles.
He repeated the declaration which made her roll in laughter.
He looked at her confused but that didn’t stop her from laughing, still laughing she hugged him and he hugged her tightly without questions.
‘It took you so long to say it’ she said freeing herself.
‘I guess I just hard to say it, you were bent on leaving me’.
‘Are you really scared of loosing me?’
He smiled as he answered,
‘what do you think. The last few minutes were the most terrible moments ever’.
He smiled at her as he kissed her forehead.
‘Can you now allow me to help you up?’ he asked looking really concerned.
She nodded as he slowly carried her upstairs.
‘Where are you taking me to?’ she asked, that wasn’t the route she took to his study.
‘ To where no woman had ever been’ he answered with a smile.
They got to a room which opened automatically, it was a bedroom.
Not just the usual bedroom she had with Cindy, this was much larger. The beds and other furniture spoke of class and expensive taste.
It was just too huge to be only a man’s own.
‘Is this your room?’ she asked as he gently laid her on her back on the soft bed.
‘Yes, your majesty ‘.
‘So am the first person you have brought here?’
‘No, your the first woman and I want you to be the last’ he answered with a smile.
His answer sent chills on her body as she blushed hard. She stood up as she admired the room thinking of what he had just said.
‘You haven’t fallen in love with any Woman?’ she asked just to confirm.
‘You already know the answer to that question. Our first meeting answers that question.’Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
‘ It feels good knowing am the first woman’ she said.
‘ Stay still let me apply this ice pack and lotion ‘ he ordered lightly, she laid down as she thought of the future they could both have.
She winced as the ice pack touched her ankle, he muttered a sorry and applied it more gently.
‘You live here alone?’
‘ I used to live with my elder brother but I don’t see him lately. We are not close at all’ he answered.
He thought hard if he should tell her the truth about himself . She had already told him everything about her, so there was no risk revealing a little truth.
‘ we are both fighting for the same thing and…’ he allowed the words trail off.
She waited for a while for him to complete his statement but that didn’t come, it got her so interested that she raised her back leaving her in a sitting position.
‘And what happened?’
‘ He left, I made a promise to my dad that I will get some properties and then my brother also wants that property ‘ he explained.
‘ Why can’t you guys just share it?’
He rolled in laughter as he answered,
‘My brother isn’t like that , his mean and can do absolutely anything to get whatever he wants and then his very greedy. That was why my dad didn’t give him any of the properties ‘ .
‘ That’s really crazy, so what property are you guys bent on taking?’
He stared at her thinking if he should lie but her innocent eyes were enough to make him say the truth.
‘The Chester’s Enterprise ‘ he announced.
What!
She was shocked, this could only mean one thing
‘Damien is Dementrio’s brother ‘ but that wasn’t possible , he told Cindy he was Axl’s brother.
Who was lieing?
‘Is Damien your brother?’ she asked.
‘Correct’
‘How is that possible? He told Cindy that he was Axl’s brother ‘ she yelled stomping her foot but she regretted it because it sent pains to her spine.
‘Calm down Rhea, you will hurt yourself ‘
She didn’t listen instead she narrated everything that has been going on for the past weeks but what surprised her was that Dementrio wasn’t shocked.
‘ Hold on a moment, you knew about this?’ She asked surprised.
He nodded. It made her scream hard as she got up punching him so hard on the chest.
‘You and your brother are just the worst, your both greedy ‘ she said crying hard.
He really pitied her and allowed her to throw punches at him although he didn’t deny it was actually painful.
She’s really strong, he thought.
After few seconds he got really tired and held a tight grip on her wrist.
‘Stop this drama!’ He ordered and for some reasons best known to her she found herself obeying him.
‘Your mad and hate me I know. Involving Cindy was all my brother’s plan, I have no hand in that. I only keep tabs on him and that’s how I knew about it ‘ he allowed the words to sink before continuing. ‘I already have my own plans of getting the properties, I won’t black mail a woman to get my jobs done ‘.
‘Blackmail? Whose talking about black mail?’ she asked in shock.
‘So you don’t know, My love, what Damien is doing is black mail. Look the truth is that Axl doesn’t have the property papers, the owner of the properties is his wife ‘ he retorted.
For some reasons he decided not to mention Cathy’s name, till the coast was clear.
‘How do you know that?’ she asked.
‘Simple, am his best friend and what you don’t know is that we are both planing on getting her to sign the papers’ He answered.
She stared hard everything was looking like a dream , too much hurtful information and she found herself feeling dizzy.
She looked at Dementrio not recognizing him because his figure was blur, few seconds and she couldn’t see anything.
She had passed out.
