Chapter ninety seven (The revelation)
Damien.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
Swirling my office chair around, my mind kept drafting to different directions.
I won’t deny the fact that I am kind of scared about the abortion that Ashley is about to go through but then again… .
I rubbed my face, and let out a deep sigh.
What if I lose her? God forbid!
I don’t think I will survive that, picking out my phone to dial Ashley’s number when suddenly the door to my office opened and Lucas walked in.
“Good evening, boss,” he said, but I just raised an eyebrow in response.
Noticing my expression, he added, “Someone is here to see you, boss.”
Someone is here to see me? Who?
I am not expecting anyone.
“Who?” I asked, eyeing him up suspiciously.
He gulped hard and scratched his neck nervously, “I think is best to see him,”
Him?
Giving him a suspicious glare, I leaned back in my chair and nodded for him to let the person in.
He nodded and went back to the door. My curiosity widened as the door opened, and I readjust to see the person but to my surprise, Sebastian walked in.
“YOU!” I exclaimed, my face flushing with anger. “What are you doing here?”
Sebastian smiled calmly and walked further into the room, his hands tucked into his pant pockets. “How have you been, brother?”
“Don’t play dumb and answer me, why are you here?!” I latched out, instantly rising up to my feet in anger and that’s when the door opened again and Eros and Pasito entered.
“Hey, buddy, what’s going on?” Pasito asked, noticing the tense air.
But I ignored them, my piercing glare fixed on Sebastian.
Immediately, Eros saw Sabastian, he seemed surprised before he flashed him a mocking grin. “Wow! Look who we have here, the nerd!” He exclaimed, smacking Sebastian by the shoulder and walking over to me.
Sebastian smiled quietly and brushed off his words.
This guy’s nonchalant behavior freaks me out at times.
They both glanced at Sebastian and then back at me, curious.
“Get out of here!” I barked but again he didn’t budge and rather he stepped forward and pulled out copies of photos from his jacket.
“At 10:30pm on Friday night at Aurum Villa for the last two months, during the celebration of the opening of Albrecht Luxe innovations.” he broke the words one by one after the other, surpising not only me but also Eros and Pasito who were standing by my side.
That was the company we had launched just last two months prior, at Aurum Villa hotel.
So what is he talking about?
“Before I start, I would love to introduce myself.” He paused, earning a weird look from us.
“Introduce yourself?” Pasito gave him the look as if he had gone insane.
But again, he smiled, “I am Cipher.”
What?!
We all gasped, including Lucas who had been standing by the door.
“C…. Cipher,” Eros stammered.
This is the dude I have been searching all over the place for….. what? Sebastian?
He waved his hand dismissively in the air, pulling back our attention again to him. “But I am not here for that,” he paused, and scanned our faces one after the other before continuing. “I am here to tell you the name of the mysterious girl you slept with that night, in the VIP, room 5089.”
“Hahaha…..” Eros cracked up in a mocking laugh. “Have you lost it, nerd?”
Eros snapped at him but somehow I felt shocked, stunned, confused at the same time.
How did he get to know about that night?
I whipped my head immediately at the surprised looking Lucas, he is the only one that knows about it.
“What nonsense are you talking about?” I lashed but he just stepped more forward and pulled out his phone.
“The child you are planning to abort is your child, brother and I won’t allow you to do something you will regret,” his voice is now calmer but my eyes were full of confusion as they locked with him.
“Child?” Eros and Pasito said in unison. ” Did you have a child and we don’t know?” Pasito asked, confusion lacing in their faces just like mine.
” Stop talking nonsense and leave my office!” I barked but he just laughed.
“The mysterious woman that night that you took advantage of was none other but your wife, Ashley.” He revealed, causing my breath to stifle instantly.
My eyes widened in shock
“Da… Damien,” Eros sputtered out in a confusing tone
“…. And the baby in her womb is a product of that night” Sebastian completed, my eyes turning to snap at him in total shock.
It felt as if a cold water was been splashed all over me, frozen me in my spot.
Switching on his phone, Sebastian gave it to me but Pasito was fast to snatch it from him.
And immediately I heard him let out a loud gasp. Eros and I quickly turned to him and he turned to show us the video.
It was clearly me and Ashley.
I staggered back instantly, the phone in my hand slipping off.
The call that I was about to make earlier was long forgotten.
“How did you find this?!” Eros barked but Pasito nudged him to calm down.
I can hear the fast beating of my heart.
“Ashley was never a whore, but that night ruined her life.” Sebastian said and every word he said kept hitting me hard in my chest.
And before I knew it, I screamed.
She can’t abort the baby!
I quickly reached for my phone again but Sebastian dropped the bomb.
“She had left,”
“What do you…. mean that…. She had left?” I stammered, my body shaking in fear of what next he will say.
” She found out and left this afternoon, she said she will send you the divorce papers,”
He had barely finished and I rushed toward him, and angrily grabbed his shirt.
“Don’t you dare!!” I yelled and Eros and Pasito rushed to pull me back. “What did you tell her?!!” I tightened my grip and pulled him closer before punching his face.
No no no…. I can’t lose Ashley.
I knew that there was something off about her….. that strawberry perfume.
“I don’t think this is the right thing to do now?” Eros drew me back and Pasito rushed to pull Sebastian up from the ground.
Sebastian clutched his face and lifted his bleeding face to look at me. “Her plane will be leaving in the next 30 seconds.”
Fuck it… .. Damn!
I immediately whipped my head at Lucas and roared out in desperation, “Contact the air traffic controllers now…. The borders should be closed, no plane should leave the airport!!”
