Chapter 22
“Come here!” Damien muttered as the three years old boy raised his head and looked at him blinking as of not expecting him to suddenly call him.
Madame Beatrice looked at both the step father and Step son’s awkwardness, she couldn’t help but chuckle on how they are acting.
“The Young Master really acts like Master even though they are not biological father and son” She muttered under her breath as she smiled sincerely.
Dillan raised his legs and walked over to Damien’s side.
He looked at Damien as if saying ‘You called me yourself, it’s not like I want to come to you’
Getting closer Damien held his left arm.
One big and two small headed to the dinning table
“They are both awkward and doesn’t know how to express their feelings” Madame Beatrice smiled more.
Once again. She looked forward to seeing the woman that gave birth to such a well trained obedient children.
Placing Delanie on the seat by the right, Damien turned and carried Dillan whose short legs were unable to reach the chair to his left side
After the two were seated, he also sat down to eat and fortunately, The two babies could feed themselves and he doesn’t need to worry about that.
The only difference is that, dinner was ten times longer than usual.
Damien felt tired of chewing and he resisted the urge to leave. Even a mission noe a business meeting has ever made him compromise or even make him so tired.
But since he promised to take on the responsibility of the step fathers, he will do that.
Finally the long dinner was finally over.
“Madame Beatrice, send them back to their room” He ordered and made to leave.
“Master, Children love to listen to bed time stories. I brought some, how about you read it to them” Madame Beatrice suggested but when she met Damien’s icy glare, she closed her mouth and didn’t say anything more.
But at the end, he took the bed time stories brought by Madame Beatrice and went inside the room.
He went into the room that was prepared for them, the scene he saw made his eyes twitch.
Delanie and Dillan attached themselves together almost making it impossible for anyone to separate them.
“Why are you here?” Dillan opened his eyes and asked the man at the door.
“Bedtime stories” Damien replied coldly and walked over.
“Shhh! Don’t wake her up” Dillan glanced at Delanie who leaned mostly on him and was sleeping peacefully.
“Separate!” Seeing this scene Damien ordered with a cold face.
“No! Mom allows us to sleep this way. She said we will sleep in different beds when we are of age!” Dillan refused.
“She let you sleep like this?”
“Yes”Dillan replied
Damien didn’t say more and made to leave.
“Dad!” Dillan suddenly calked as Damien paused on his steps.
“Anything?”
“The Bedtime stories, I can’t sleep without them” After speaking, Dillan lay back hurriedly and covered his face where no one will see how embarrassed he is.
Expressionlessly, Damien returned and sat down on a chair next to the bed.
He opened the book and started ” Once upon a time____”
After he was sure that the little one has fallen asleep, Damien stopped reading.
He placed the book aside and stood up. Then he went over and coveted their duvet well and turned to switch off the lights on his way out.
Doing the job of a father is more stressful than he thought.
He went down and returned to the living room.
“Master, are you going out?” Madame Beatrice asked him.
“Yes, prepare them for School tomorrow, I might come back late tomorrow” He said to Madame Beatrice and walked out of the place.
He got into the car as the driver who was ready drove directly to a Military camp.
No matter what, he didn’t plan to let go of the enemy at all. Their target was him and the car accident was to warn him so he doesn’t mind giving them something that is more than just a warning.
“Commander, you are here” A solider came over and saluted.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
“What about the driver?” Mr. Damien Malcolm asleep
“He is in Cell 64!” The solider replied as Damien nodded and walked over to the place.
The got to the place to see the driver who knocked out Scarlett’s car lying there lifelessly but his constant gasps showed that he was still alive
“Did he confess?” Damien asked as the solider shook his head
“He is claiming that it is an accident and also that he would die sooner or later because he is in his late stage of cancer” The Solider reported to him.
“About his Cancer, the Military doctor injected him the special drugs to avoid his cancer from spreading so he still has some time to live” The Solider completed his report.
“Good! Cut off his fingers one after the other whenever he refuses to talk” Damien ordered.
“The Second stage of torment to begin” The solider spoke to the microphone while looking into the room from the outside.
Soon, the two military solider helped the old driver stand up and started with the second stage.
“You will be asked one question at a time and if you refuse to answer, one of your fingers will be cut off” The old driver was Reminded and threatened once again.
“I don’t know anything!” The moment the old driver finished talking blood splashed once again in the room as his pinky finger fell to the floor before he even knew it.
“Ahhhhh!!” He screamed out in pain and tried to clutch his bleeding hands but was held back.
“Once again, who is it that sent you?!” The solider torturing him asked him again.
“I will tell you! I will tell you! Don’t cut my finger!” He yelled out desperately as the lain he Felt was more than thar of his cancer.
“Speak!”
“He was wearing a mask and I couldn’t see his face. He said he will give my family $1, 000, 000 if I completed the mission. My family is innocent and I only wanted the Money” He blurted out everything in tears.
“So please, let me go. I also didn’t want it to turn out this way. Please let me go, I have a wife and a child” He pleaded in tears.
“Is that all?” The Solider asked as the old driver nodded desperately.
“That’s all! He gave me the location and the taxi color 5 minutes before the incident” The moment he finished speaking he was let go.
“Feed his body alive to the white tigers!” Damien’s voice rang in the microphone as everyone took a deep breathe.
Of course, no one forgot how ruthless the commander is
Next Damien picked up the phone and called Aiden, who connected the call just after two rings.
“Find out those that followed I and Miss Scarlett earlier today” He ordered and hung up the call.
Getting back to the car, the guard drove straight to the hospital.
Coming here was because the doctor said that is is most likely to wake up tonight and he is 100% sure that she will leave here the moment she wakes up.
And just as he thought, he stepped into the ward and saw Scarlett removing the strings on her wrist
