Damien POV:
"This name sure looks familiar" I said pointing at her father's name
"Yeah, we were once partners before he died"he said but I wasn't convinced, I had seen that name somewhere else
Then just like that , bam! it hit me
"No not that,do you remember the spam message you got just two weeks before he died" I asked and Jason rested his head on the headrest, trying to remember
He suddenly removed his head and said with a very serious expression
"Yeah I do, it was a request to kill him and in return for a huge reward, gosh that was so insulting"
I remembered how Xavier reacted when he got that message,I taught he was gonna explode
"Do I look like a fu*king assassin or what"
"Where you able to track down the person"
"No it was from an unverified email" he replied
I don't think she committed that murder, she is obviously being framed
I sighed and dropped the file, well that's non of my business, she should sort it out herself
I waved a hand signaling Xavier's bodyguard to give us some privacy
When they were all gone I turned back to him but he spoke first
"I know what you wanna say but just save it, I certainly have no interest in her"
He said and I actually felt sorry for him, just because of a silly mistake from his past that is not even his fault, he is forbidden from falling in love
We were actually three before like the three musketeers doing everything together and living life to the fullest
But everything shattered in just one night.
Right now the third musketeer known as Stiles, is now living in the shadows waiting for Xavier to make one single mistake and then make him pay for it
That night I tried everything possible to resolve it but nothing I said or did worked
Xavier still blames his self for what happened that night and accepted the fate placed on him by Stiles to never fall in love again
Turning him to the heartless cold man he is today
I pushed those old memories aside and turned back to Xavier
"Well that's good at least you will be sparing her from an early death"I said and he knew what I meant
" well she was actually doomed from the start"he replied feeling unbothered
"Am serious Xavier"
"Look, I don't wanna have this conversation with you, not today not ever" he said clearly angry then stood up and started walking away, just like that
I rested my head on the headrest and began to think
I really want to see Xavier happy again, I miss the lively bad boy Xavier, how I wish I came earlier that day, I might have been able to stop..her…, stop her before…Gosh
My thoughts were interrupted by someone's voice
I sat up and starred at the figure in front of me
Wow she's a stunning beauty, with amber eyes that shine like bright honey, radiating a golden glow. Her gaze is captivating, drawing me like a magnet, hard to resist.
My eyes moved down at her se*y figure, having an hourglass shape with high cheekbones and a full lips that curved into a smile as she muttered some words I couldn't even hear, I was too lost in her beauty
Her skin is almost as white as snow and spotless like fresh milk .
She looks like a figure drawn out from an animated especially her pink and white tip hair
No wonder her last name is Snow and not Wilson
She stepped closer to me and gave me a light tap snapping me back to reality
"Good morning sir, are you alright"
With every glance, her amber eyes seems to sparkle, illuminating her entire face
Gosh Damien get a grip on yourself , I began scolding myself
"Am fine I just remembered something, who are you" I lied trying to cover up
"I am Scarlett Snow" she said offering me a handshake
I accepted
"Damien Cross" I replied and released
Wow her hands are very soft like cotton candy
Fu*k Damien, snap out of it
I stood to leave but she quickly stopped me , suddenly coming in front of me
"Am sorry sir if I am bothering you but I really need your help" she said but I just starred at her, fascinated
"What"
"Please can we go somewhere private, I don't want Mr Grey to see me"
I just nodded realizing her fear
We went to the garden and she locked the doors
"Sir I really need your help" she started
"Am listening"
She gave me her phone, the screen was broken , badly
There was a video playing, no it's the news , I carefully watched it and starred at her puzzled
Why does she need my help concerning this
The video finished playing I was about giving her back when another one started playing
What the…..
It was a video of two people being madly intimate
"What the heck is this" I asked showing her the video, she looked shocked and quickly snatched the phone from me
"Am very sorry, you weren't supposed to see that I must have mistakenly set the mode to shuffle" she replied clearly embarrassed
"What do you want"
"You see, when my dad died and I was wrongly accused of his murder but later got released due to lack of evidence. My dad's company crumbled and I spent years rebuilding it and when it finally came up , I lost it" she paused and took a long breath, I could tell she was holding back tears
"How did you loose it" I asked
"My fiancé who I gave everything to, used me and tricked me into signing everything to his name , I even also caught him in bed with my best friend" she said wiping some tears away not wanting me to see them
"Let me guess, the video I just saw was him and your best friend"
"Yeah…. And That's why I need your help sir, you are the only one who can help me convince Mr Grey to help me, I wanna make them pay, get my father's company back along with everything they took from me and also, find out who murdered him" she said in a pleading tone
I was dumbfounded just starring at her not knowing what to say
She has really gone through alot
"Sir please don't say no, please" she pleaded with tears
I felt so much pity for her
"What did Xavier say"
"He doesn't even want to hear me out" she replied and I sighed
"Well if you want to strike a deal with him you have to give him something in return, something he needs instead of biting him" I concluded and she looked embarrassed
"He was kinda hurting me, that was my only defense" she replied trying to defend herself
I noticed the little scratch underneath her jaw
I didn't know what to say to her again and just turned around to leave but instead she ran to my front and blocked me
This girl sure has some guts
"Please sir help me, I promise to do anything" she said
That word anything, just kept ringing in my head
An idea popped up in my head , I pushed it away but it kept popping up
I sighed then said to her
"Did you say anything"
"Yes sir, anything, I promise I won't betray you, please just give me a chance"
I smiled
"How would you like to make a deal with me instead" i said and she starred at me in clearly stunned
