✍️ ✍️CHAPTER TITLE✍️✍️: DISCUSSION WITH DAMIEN.

The heart knows what it wants, but when it meets with what it wants, does it have the capacity to behold it?

It’s a little to no effort for some to find love for themselves. Many will have to just stay idle and love would come to meet them. Others, the group where Vera fell into would not mind passing through hell, just for the sake of getting the love.

Should the list of what she has done for love be written from the moment she started trailing a strange man because his charm had caught her eyes, before it developed into deep affection?

Should the list point on how she made him the top chart of what’s always on her mind and thoughts??

Probably listing out the sacrifices she had made, just to be with the one she loves. It was never easy to start with.

Imagine running with your legs into what has been described as the pit of hell, and you could get burnt. Vera on her own utterly jumped into it hoping that it would bring good luck, even when the good luck didn’t look around freely.

Vera threw all she had for love. Separated from her loved ones. Stayed away from the people she had grown with, even before her heart became familiar with Damien’s affection for her.

It’s not many that would do what Vera had done when it’s been put on a scale. And the few who would participate in it would have had second thoughts, just days after starting it, the they would stop.

Vera stood her ground still and now when the good news she’d been wanting to hear finally came to her, she didn’t know how or which way exactly to react to it.

At a point when everything seemed to have ended and she would be biding her goodbye soon, she had thought about herself as a failure.

Vera blamed herself for coming after what would never be hers. But little did she know that the outing that almost led her into trouble would turn around to be in her biggest benefit.

Damien had left the car earlier, after they had minimum discussion, where he had finished expressing himself, which took Vera’s breath away for minutes.

Remembering how the discussion ended, where Vera watched him as he was splitting everything from his sincere state. Vera knew that it was bound to happen, that she would be important to them.

What she never thought of was the truth that Damien had been calculating her importance. He listed it out carefully and without a lie in it. She had no idea that she had become important to him.

“Master Damien?” Vera called in a heavy tone. She has been managing to stop herself from being emotional.

“I’m listening…” Damien murmured with an obvious red nose. He tried to hide it but it was obvious how hard he had been fought the tears back. His Butler would leave him soon, and he’s sad about it.

“Would you have been cool with it if I am not a man?” Vera asked the question that had been all her mind. Even if Damien had spoken over it earlier, she wants to hear him say it again, because she doesn’t want to take any step that would ruin all her efforts.

If not, Vera would have happily told, that she is indeed a woman, who only found herself disguising just for the sake of being with him.

Damien’s expression didn’t change. Her question to him felt like a wish, which wouldn’t ever be fulfilled.

“As badly as I want it for you to be a man because I don’t want you to leave, I’m sane enough to know that it can never be possible,” Damien replied in a husked tone of voice.

Vera stared down at her lap in disappointment. What she wanted to hear from him was how he would feel, if he found out that she wasn’t even a man. Rather, Damien chooses his answer from another perspective.

“But then,” she heard him say after she had lost hope on what to think. “I don’t know if you planned to undergo surgery because of us. Caleb had insulted me for being gay because I enjoyed getting a massage from you,” Damien gestured with his hand as he spoke.

“I mean… I don’t know why something is soothing about the massages. Since I don’t always count on his words, because he spits out rubbish at any chance given,” Vera smiled sheepishly at how Damien was frowning, at the mention of Caleb’s name.

Their friendship fights is really cute to witness. Who would have known that her masters had to be sitting down behind closed doors, just to discuss about her.

“I’m not concerned with his dirty thoughts, that’s the area of his problems,” Damien keeping a straight face while saying something funny made Vera surprised. Because here she was trying to suppress her laughter.

“If you are to be a woman, it would take me a lot of time to believe and adapt to that. But I shouldn’t hide the truth that I will start believing in imagination coming through. Because you being a woman would confirm the truth of it,” Damien’s speech was long. It made Vera wonder if she had seen him speak so many words when it was not about him and Caleb taunting each other.

“But I think that we both shouldn’t imagine too much. Especially you,” Damien pinpointed at her, just to see her smile.

‘Well master Damien, what we imagined sometimes is the definition of what has been taking place or will take place. ‘ Vera whispered to herself at the back of her mind, and she wished that Damien could also hear her.

Vera’s eyes darted away from him, only to return and see him whining down the car window and staring outside through it.

“Master Damien!?” She called again when another means of verification, and how to validate her doubts about telling Damien the truth crossed her mind.

“I’m still here with you,” Damien barely murmured. His nose which was visibly red earlier had returned to it’s normal form. His eyes shone brightly, and the sadness on his face had started disappearing.

“Have you met with the princesses before?” “The king’s identical twins,” Vera quickly corrected when she thought that he might not understand what she was saying.

Damien frowned slightly, he remembered how he had to witness Caleb’s love story over there, and he almost lost himself to his cold self. Changes occurred gradually, but not immediately.

The butler’s advice soothes his thoughts and he had planned on changing. But his body which had adapted to being cold at the mention of woman, didn’t fail to come to him again, but he was quick to help himself.

“As you can see, we met with one of them today because of Caleb. And yes, I once met the both of them when we had a dinner date, with the king then,” Damien truthfully answered. He didn’t know what the butler wanted to draw out by asking him that, but he didn’t mind the way they’d been communicating, so he happily discussed.

Engaging in discussion with the butler hasn’t only helped his reasoning, it has also helped to kill the boredom that would have killed him, if he was to be sitting here while waiting for Caleb and Annabel.

“And after the meeting, what do you think about them, master Damien?” Vera asked him another question while still keeping the tone of his respect close.

Damien seems lost in thoughts, before he says, “I haven’t gotten any reason to think about them. If not for Caleb who made us visit there today, I wouldn’t have remembered their existence,” Damien stated genuinely.

“Just that, I’m aware of Annabel’s likeness for them. She once forced me to get their pictures.” He briefly shared.

”But I didn’t like them, so it was difficult for me to take the pictures,” he remembered the incident as he spoke while Vera parted her mouth in surprise. That also happened? She didn’t know.

“I managed to get the picture. Although I only took it with one of them, and I was glad. Even when I didn’t like it, but because I would show Annabel and she would be happy,” his blank expression didn’t allow Vera to read into his emotion.

“It was a pain in the neck when I realized that after what I did to get the picture, Caleb foolishly got it deleted,” Damien rolled his eyes angrily as he spoke about it, it felt like the incident was just taking place, and he could remember how Annabel refused to see him because of that.

Vera released a deep breath. Damien took pictures with one of them, which should be Andromeda because it wasn’t her. And yet, Andromeda never told Vera about it, why is she keeping so much secret???

Vera had kept a question for Andromeda about Caleb, but she didn’t know that a question was already in existence even before she came to Damien’s mansion. Why didn’t Andromeda tell her?

“Maybe the phone storage was bad,” she tried to utter a word. Damien glared at her before he hissed, it was like she just made mention of something very impossible and foolish.

“Why were you asking about them? Are you related to them, or what?” Damien asked even when he had it at the back of his mind that his last question was a stupid one. How could the butler be related to the princesses? Their status is way higher than the butler, to begin with. If he’s related to them, he wouldn’t have become a butler.

Vera had to shake her head in declination, then she truthfully told to him, “Pardon me Master Damien. But I was just thinking about you befriending the sister of Master Caleb’s girlfriend. The princesses are good and beautiful girls,” ‘and I’ve always been a great girl.’ Vera recited the remaining words at the back of her mind.

Damien raised his brows in amusement. Does the butler know what he’s saying!?

“Because Caleb likes them doesn’t mean I will. It’s not because I hate them, but because I’m not familiar with any woman. Your words are the reason why I’m planning on bringing them close later,” He started explaining while facing Vera.

“I just don’t like those creatures,” he muttered and Vera knew clearly whom he was referring to.

“Although I don’t know about the princess’s true nature and attitude. I’m sure that those girls too are aware of my cold attitude, and they would likewise be scared of me and can’t even want me,” Damien affirmed like he had dreamt about everything would happen earlier.

Vera shook her head, because little did he know that one of them doesn’t only want him, but she had also taken risks just to be with him.

Vera knew that if Annabel had been here all along to hear their conversation, she would have told the truth about her identity earlier to Damien. Vera doubts if Annabel could keep calm like her, and just observe.

“They might like you, but don’t know how to tell you. I mean… Any lady would want to be with you. I’m sure they ain’t an exception when it comes to that.” Vera spoke proudly, while she continued to smartly hear about herself from him.

“I don’t have a word to give to that. The biggest side of me is getting angry, just by thinking about it,” Damien muttered and was taken aback when the butler burst into laughter. What’s funny here?

“Did I say what’s funny, Disguise?” Damien asked while grinning too. Vera controlled her laughter and just stayed still. “Sorry for that, Master Damien,” she apologized regardless.

“It’s okay. My attitude is funny to me also.” He calmly replied, without sounding offended.

Later on he said, ”I need to go check what’s keeping them busy, so will you come along?” He asked politely. The grin disappeared from his face totally, but it wasn’t replaced with anything bad either.

Vera thought about it briefly and decided not to go with him. She needs to nourish herself in the moment which feels like a dream.

It happens that it’s not only Caleb who gets to smile happily today, because Vera’s recent moment with Damien was also a big win.

Damien simply left her in the car, after she decided not to go with him. That didn’t stop him from saying ‘Thank you’ again to her before he eventually vanished behind the thick wall of the building, where Vera’s eyes had trailed after him.

The moment her feet came in contact with the familiar land, which they had avoided for five good years, she had goosebumps running down her skin, just like every human usually does.

Her eyes glared around, like she was looking for something as she walked down from where the plane had landed. She rolled her box quietly behind her.

Inhaling a deep breath, just for her to exhale it out later. The same air that Damien is breathing doesn’t deceive to lay properly in her nostrils.

Her soft palm massaged her face lightly, as she walked under the sun, which described her shadow without her permission, on the ground, which she was walking on. Her shadow kept on moving ahead her, and she doesn’t mind it.

Rubbing her lips which were colored in a red lipgloss together, like that of a black witch, she was mesmerized by the sight in front of her. She still can’t believe it that she is back in this country.

Crystal had to leave five years ago, knowing Damien wouldn’t spare her life for what she had done to him.

She would have stayed back where she had hidden for years, but the reason why she committed those crimes hasn’t been rewarded.

The wealth and everything that she had always wanted is still hanged under Damien’s reach and she wants to get it for herself.

Everyone she had come across had no choice but to smile back at her. Her smiles were enticing to look at and they couldn’t ignore it, because it hid her identity perfectly well.

Why wouldn’t she smile at them? She had not return to hunt them. She had only returned for the sake of ending Damien and Annabel.

Crystal wants to snatch what belongs to them away from them and give what also belongs to him, to her precious son, back to him alone.

So what if she hasn’t taken any special space in his life for the past Twenty-six years? At least she provided shelter and means of survival for him after he was born.

Crystal made sure to give him comfort until it was time to use him as a bait to get what she wanted. She doesn’t feel the guilt of leaving her child on the roadside while seeking wealth, because that also gave him the privilege for his father to not only hold him, but also made him to take Caleb home.

Crystal would explain everything to him when things go according to her plan. She would tell little truth and give him many lies, to convince and for him to call her his mama.

Crystal would make Damien’s head stumble on the ground in her presence, for herself and Caleb to step on.

Now that she’s back, she would take everything away from Damien and give it directly to her darling son, Caleb.
