4.21% Commitment With The Devil / Chapter 7: Destroying own image

Capítulo 7: Destroying own image

"Why are you here?!"

The shout echoes in the entire company. The whole floor is in daze over the view of Damian yelling at me. "What did you expect?" I raise my right brow. Finally, I have arrived to my company once again to get my shares back. I can't allow them to conquer all shares like greedy dogs.

Now, I stand across the man with a file in my grasp. "You shouldn't be here! This is the company of Ravena!" He continues to brag absolute bullshit. The heck. He lacks intellect for sure. "And who do you think I am?" Rather than giving out answers, I question him.

My grasp tightens upon the file over his appearance alone. The motherfucker who poisoned me is shamelessly holding my shares. Where do those courage come from? "Listen, I am the husband of Violet. Don't you even dream to get the shares I possess" He hisses.

It seems he is aware about my goal. Well, if he does not know why I am here, he should just die from being the dumbest person. "I am the twin sister of Violet. If we have to speak with blood we share, don't we all know who should take after her?" I throw a query serenely.

It is when his face drops.

He gulps. The expression he holds at the moment screams nothing else but the fright. "Why are you being avaricious?" Oh. Am I? How dare he ask like this when he is the one obviously? "You are Verena Laurel who has left the family since long time ago. You are a stranger"

The statement made by him, causes me to grit teeth. I am literally attempting my best to prevent the urge to murder him right on the spot. If I did, it would not be satisfying. I need to make the revenge heartwarming, gratifying and enjoyable, until they suffer and beg for death.

"Say that to my mother's face if you dare. But I am taking my sister's shares no matter what. Now get out of my face. I have to attend the urgent meeting" Trying to walk past him, I grip the file firmly. Please. I really want to slap him with this hard document in the face.

"Security! Drag her out!"

Fucker. He has crossed the limit again. Over his yell, the guards dash towards me. And I turn around, facing them. "Do it. I dare you. Let's see who wants to get fired" Beneath a calm face, I threaten the guards. This is not even a joke. Once they lay hands on me, I am firing them.

As soon as I voice, the men cease their steps instantly. They hesitate, glancing at Damian. He stares at me in fury. "What are you doing?! Capture her!" Another shout escapes between his lips. "Do it..." I let out a whisper. Then I head out toward the meeting room calmly.

Yet, the guards stand at the spot.

They refuse to prevent. I guess they are frightened by my look since I appear as the same before. "You useless shits!" A shout of Damian startles the men. I enter the room, drawing all the attention of people inside. So Damian has already summoned them for a meeting. Great.

"Ma'am?!" All the eyes widen once I step in. They are in daze. Having no words to describe their reactions even. They just freeze at the place and observe. "Good afternoon, everyone" I reach to the seat in the middle. "I am Verena Laurel, the twin sister of Violet" I introduce myself.

And it is the moment I can hear the gasp filling in the room. "Please allow me to speak my thoughts, Miss Verena" With his hand in the air, the general manager Ciel talks. He deserves the position in view of the fact that he asks his doubts without being hesitant even a bit.

"Yes"

I permit.

And the door slams. Scaring some people inside who are getting drown into the sudden appearance of mine. "Boss, can we get an explanation?" One of the employees requests in puzzlement. But Damian ignores the query. He straight up walks towards me beneath his glare.

Does he think he can frighten me with that stupid glare? "Get out of my company right now, Verena Laurel. You need to go through many things to gain the shares" He lectures. Fucking jerk. Talking as if he paid his blood and sweat to get the position. "Shut the fuck up"

At last, I curse due to frustration. Stunning people in the room to witness Damian getting ordered in such a way. It embarrasses him as well. His face heats up. Pointing his finger at me through gritted teeth. "I have bought the shares already to be honest" I smile.

And the room falls into dead silence.

Even the sound of pin dropping can be heard in this kind of tranquility. "Quit spouting nonsense!" Damian yells. And I toss the file onto the table. "Read them out loud if you wish to. That's the whole evidence I own. The only share I need is which you have in your hands now"

My words leave everyone in pure shock. It is quite unfeasible to gather all the shares unless you use some dark secrets upon the shares owners. But come on. I have a whole devil behind my back who is supporting from every side. He has power. He does as I require.

Anything is possible in my way.

Even if he did not exist, I can collect the shares still as well. Who do they think I am? One move and the whole city can burn down into ashes if I want it to. Not boasting but it is a truth all are aware of. "No..." In hurry, Damian reads through the file. Shaking his head in denial.

What a sight. He appears like a fool who has lost everything. "Give the shares to me while I am asking nicely or you can pick a way to get kicked out" I suggest. Now, Damian's hatred blows off. He slams the file onto the table. Rushing near as he wraps his hands around my neck.

Oh strangling, I see. "Boss! Miss!" All the people jump up from the seats in an instant as soon as he takes his rage out on me. "How dare you? How dare you?" Through clenched jaw, Damian repeats. One thing for sure, he has gone insane. "You are destroying your own image"

I mumble.

His grip is strong but my exasperation is stronger. This motherfucker has to go down in the history as idiotic asshole. It is how I can begin my revenge on him. My whisper works somehow. He comes back to reality. Pushing me away as some girls catch me in hurry. "Miss, are you okay?"

They query. Assuring my safety. "Yes. Thanks" These girls know who to take care of and who to approach based upon the situation. "I apologize for taking my momentary frustration out on you, Miss Verena. Shall we discuss this in my office if you don't mind at all?"

The quick change in Damian's facial expression and personality quiet down the people. Some must be stunned while some are used to the strange behavior already. "If my safety is assured only" I respond. The veins slightly popping up in his forehead and jawline tickle me.

He is enduring his anger at best.

I am so satisfied! "Lead her into my office, Brenda. She needs to be assisted" Before going out of the room, Damian leaves the command behind. A girl then approaches me with a smile. "Miss, you can follow me" She instructs. With that beam, she seems like a nice girl.

But I am not in mood to judge what her true personality is. I wave my hand as acceptance. Beckoning her to go from front. "The meeting is over. Everyone, go back to your place" The general manager, Ciel voices out loud. Sending all out. We then walk out of there.

"This is Boss Damian's office"

The girl bows along with her hand pointing at the door across me. "How is he going to assure my safety?" I lift my brow. It is when she chuckles. "Please don't concern, darling. I am coming after you to make sure he can't lay hands on you at all" She sends a wink at me.

And I hush down in surprise. The way she addresses me as darling, the way she winks, the way she chuckles, all the reactions are similar! And they are none other than Zander's. "What the fuck are you doing here under that girl's skin?!" I raise my tone beneath a scowl.

With the girl's appearance, he only sheepishly grins. "I had to follow you since I knew he would do something to you. If I weren't there in the meeting room, he would end up strangling you in front of the crowd" Zander boasts. "You only tried to pull him away. It's useless"

I roll my eyes.

"I did trick his mind though"

He brags.

And I frown in vexation.


Capítulo 8: To welcome with energy

"Please settle down"

Damian beckons at the couch across him. His face wears a hint of exasperation, yet he tries to conceal it beneath a serene expression. "There is no need for you to get the shares at all, do you?" He straight up gets to the point as soon as I sit down. "Of course, I do" I reply.

"You are no longer the husband of my sister in view of the fact that she has passed away in the fire accident already. It is common for her relatives to take care of the rest. You can step out of the CEO position from the company. I will grasp that title with the shares in hands"

My statement causes Damian to grit his teeth. He glances up at the girl, Brenda, who is actually Zander under disguise. "Can you leave us two alone? This chat is a family matter which others should not meddle" He instructs. Sending her away now, huh? Is he frightened?

Or perhaps is he attempting to harm me? Whichever way he goes, I am always ready to drag him down. That's for sure. "But Miss Verena claimed she wanted her safety to be assured" The devil responds under no fear. Gosh. He is making it so obvious. "Leave right now, Brenda"

Impatiently, Damian orders.

At last, Zander walks away while rolling his eyes. He leaves the room. "Verena Laurel, you already retain a jewelry company. Why do you bother to possess this company when one belongs to you which can feed you almost four meals a day for months and years?"

Surprisingly, Damian does not use violence against me. He remains calm and coaxes me desperately. So, he knows to beg when he is surrounded? "If that is your question, let me ask" I cross my legs. Leaning back onto the couch with my hands clasped on the thighs.

His eyes flash curiosity.

He is hoping for good news.

"Don't you have another company as well? It can feed you five meals a day nearly. Why are you being acquisitive to gain this company?" My right brow creases. Now, Damian falls into silence. He observes through gritted teeth. When there is no response from him, I let out a sigh.

"Twenty-four hours" I voice and stand up from the couch. "You have a day to collect your everything and bid farewell to the employees. Tomorrow, I will be back to sign with you" Staring down at him, I declare firmly. That is the moment, a tight scowl displays upon his face.

He gets up from sitting. Facing me with his fists trembling from irritation. Pfft. It is so hilarious to see a man like him quivering from rage as if he is restraining his anger from hitting someone when in fact, he is a total coward. "You can't be serious. I am not offering the company"

Damian proclaims.

This motherfucker does not know how to give up. He needs some lessons. Well. If he is asking for the company this bad, I have to lecture him when he should have given up. "Fine" My lip corner lifts up. Causing him to furrow brows. He appears to be perplexed over my reaction.

"You seem to like this company a lot. I am giving you all of it. Take care of my sister's company" Rather than debating with him, I wish instead. Then I step away. Only to be ceased by his unexpected grasp upon my arm. It makes me turn around and face him. "What?" I frown.

His touch is urging me to vomit. He disgusts me. Seeing his face alone is enough to push my frustration. Now, he dares to grab me. "Don't play tricks. I despise them. And do not even harm my child. He is innocent although you dragged him into your imprudent gamble"

Motherfucker.

Warning me about the tricks as if he did not do them on me in the past. "Hands off of me right now" Without any responses to his statement, I command. My eyes gleam with flames of fury. But he still holds me beneath a scowl. Irritating me to the point where my jaw clenches.

He is trying to show he is not frightened by my presence. Hilarious. My free hand slips into the purse. And I bring the gun out. Aiming at his stomach which catches him off guard. Upon the sight of my gun pointing at his stomach, his grasp lets my arm go in an instant.

I did not need to speak a word at all. Just actions are sufficient. "Farewell, asshole. Look after the company with your whole goddamn life" Smiling brightly, I wave my gun while holding the gun tightly. He remains silent as he peers at me leaving out of the office. Pathetic.

"So, you have bought the guns?"

As soon as I walk out of the room, Zander stands across me. This time, he is not under disguise. He has his usual form on instead of Brenda's identity. His query tickles me. Even a devil like him is fooled by this. Hilarious indeed. "It is a toy gun" Clicking the gun, the water gushes out.

The scene makes Zander's lips form into a beam of gratification. "Even I failed to notice, that man must have fallen for your trick too" Finally, the devil lets out a laughter. "Anyway, you are not supposed to be here. I can't be seen with you side by side" I state under a frown.

Putting the gun back into the purse.

"Miss gorgeous, are you perhaps nervous to walk with me in the crowd? I can't help the handsomeness I carry; you know. The attention is what I obtain wherever I go. You have to endure and stay by my side no matter what" Zander boasts along with a wide grin.

Gosh. I have never hated a confident person before but him? He is really annoying. "I don't care about the eyes I get. I am used to them already. But my identity, Verena Laurel is not supposed to be seen with a man, walking out of her twin sister's company in the middle of day"

I lighten the path for him to understand. "Oh..." He raises his brows. Idiot. Don't tell me he really thinks I am insecure to walk with him side by side. Does he think I have never drawn attention before? "You are so full of yourself" I let out a murmur and begin to walk away from him.

I have to escape from his side.

However, Zander follows up to my quick steps. "I can make you full too, love" He whispers. The fuck?! This devil must have higher sex drive than me for sure. "Dream big" I taunt. Attempting to speed up my walk. I can hear his chuckle. He catches up after me still. Walking by my side.

"No one can see me except you right now. Don't concern" He assures. Well, I guess it is true since no one really eyes at him. All the stares and attention are on me at the moment only. I need to stop talking then. Otherwise, they might think I am a fool talking to my imaginary friend.

Without speaking a word, I look up at the man beside me. He has his hands in the pockets. Eyes to the front beneath a calm face. He is really tall. Even for five feet seven inches tall like me, he is quite taller still. The devils are huge creatures, I guess. "Love what you see, my darling?"

While I peer up at him in tranquility, his head turns. Smiling at me with his dimple beam. Idiot. Instead of responding, I lift my upper lip in disgust. Facing to the front. My silence somehow manages to tickle him to the point where he lets out a chuckle once again. He is relishing this for real.

Annoying devil.

"Heading to that child?" Before stepping into my car, Zander queries from behind. Why is he asking when he is already aware of my goal? I glance around the area to make sure no one is nearby. Then I turn. "Yes. And do not dare to appear there under disguise" I alert.

Glaring at him to make sure he feels threatened at least. "Fine. I will be waiting at the apartment to welcome you with lots of energy" What the fuck. The way he winks with the smirk, lights up some vexation inside my veins. I hate this devil. I fucking hate this devil. "Fuck off"

I get into the car.

Ignoring his words to put myself at ease. I can't with his sensual desires. "Take care. Don't forget to shoot at the bad guys with your little water gun!" Waving at me, he raises his tone. Loud enough for me to hear through the car windows. Seriously. He is treating me like a child.

I hold the steering wheel tightly. Gripping back the urge to hit him over with my car. Please. I am really annoyed by his playful character. "See you!" Zander shouts again. And I just drive away instead of running into him with the car. I can try it later. I need to reach to the kid now.

I have to focus on the kid.
