After making sure she fell asleep, he gingerly got up from the bed,so as not to wake her and then covered her up properly with the blanket.
He left the room and went to his study before calling for Butler Francis.
"Why did you make her sleep on the floor? " He asked trying his best to sound polite. "I apologize sir,you said to make the madam very uncomfortable and I thought clearing out her room and making her sleep on the floor would do the job." Butler Francis informed.
"Did you at least turn on the water heater for her?" Damian asked. "No sir." Butler Francis replied and Damian angrily threw his glass down, chattering it into pieces.
"I'm trying to get her to stop her pretense and get out of my life, not trying to kill her. If she dies,what do you expect me to tell the world? Don't let this repeat itself, I'll deal with her on my own terms. Treat her as you would treat me from now on,is that clear?" He instructed harshly. "Yes sir,I apologize once again." Butler Francis repeated.
"Please get someone to clean this up,I'm going out." He said and left.
Damian got into his car and drove off. He stopped his car at a beautiful mansion but this one was not as big as his.
The gates opened and he drove in before parking his car at the garage. He came out and a girl of about sixteen ran to hug him. "Bro, you're back." She beamed. A middle aged woman and an older woman soon showed, Olivia behind them.
"Hello munchkin." He said with a smile and ruffled her hair a bit. "Stop calling me that, I'm a teenager now plus it took me an hour to make my hair look this good and you ruined it" She whined " Sorry about that, but you're still my munchkin." He said and she hit him playfully. " Mum! Make him stop! " She said turning to her mum for succour. " Damian quit troubling your sister." His mum scolded.
He embraced her for sometime before letting go. " Ma, I missed you." He told and she carressed his cheek lovingly. " I missed you too, my son"
" What about me, have have I been forgotten?"The older lady said putting on a pretend sad face.
"Who could ever forget someone as beautiful as you,eh grandma?" He asked and also embraced her. "My dear grandson, you flatter me too much. Welcome back." She said and he turned to Olivia.
"Olivia, I didn't know you were here." He said,a bit surprised. "Why should you be surprised? I consider this house my second home, and your family, my family. I am your childhood friend after all." Olivia mused and Damian pinched her cheek playfully. "Indeed you are."
"Where's dad?" He asked as soon as he noticed the absence of his father. "On one of his important business trips again,he's been gone for about a month. Didn't he tell you?" His mother relayed and asked.
"No,you know Dad and I really aren't on the best terms because of Alicia." Damian reminded.
Mirabel, his sister decided to change the topic. "Are we gonna stand here all day or are we going inside?"
"Of course not, let's go in." His grandma said and they all went in.
