Chapter Twenty Six
Kimberly dragged her legs to Damien’s room and stopped at the door.

Damien stopped too and turned to her.
“What were you saying about me earlier to the picture? I didn’t know you talk to pictures.” Damien said, folding his arms.

“Uhm…sir, I was actually trying……but that is the truth.” She replied sincerely.

“Oh! Am I that rude, arrogant and wicked that you had to report me to my family picture? Tsk! Tsk! I hope I won’t regret having you as my secretary. Very soon, you’d be talking to the chairs and tables in the office. Come here, you need discipline.” He walked to her in a swift and held her by her hair.

“Ouch!! Sir! I really didn’t mean it.”

“I am going to show how wicked and rude I can be. You have the gut to talk bad against me.” Still holding her hair tight that it’d pull out of her scalp very soon.

“Oh sir! I’m very sorry. I didn’t mean to say that.”

Damien left her hair and sighed.
“Why did you put the picture there on the wall anyway? I didn’t remember asking you to do that. I have my reason for putting away.”

“I thought It was good if it stays there. Actually, it’s a very good family picture that shouldn’t be kept away like that. Like I said earlier, I saw your brightest smile there.” Kimberly replied as she tried to adjust her hair properly.

Damien went silent for some seconds.

“Those are my family. You knew right?”

“Yes. A beautiful family you got. I actually got jealous and angry because I didn’t get to have a family picture and the fact that you put that beautiful picture away like it isn’t precious at all. You should care for it. ” Kimberly told him

“Come with me.” He said and walked away from the room and then went to the last room at the corridor and opened the door.
He turned on the light which gave the room brightness and Kimberly saw different types of things that has been abandoned here. Pictures, toys, paintings and so on.

Damien walked to the pictures on the floor and took one of it.

“That’s my sister, Emily” He explained to Kimberly about the girl in the picture as soon as she gave her.

“She’s beautiful.” Kimberly answered truthfully.

“Yeah, I know that.” He agreed.

“Why did you keep all this pictures and paintings here? You should make use of them in the house since you’re alone.”

“I don’t want to hung their picture around the house. It makes me remember what happened to me that day they all died.” Damien responded.

“That’s bad, boss. Whether you’re going to get reminded of what happened, you should at least give them the respect they have as your family. Having those pictures around will even make you feel they are with you. Always with you and that will surely put a smile on your face..” She gulped seeing how intense his stare is. “I’m sorry if I said much.” She quickly apologized.

“Do you have a family picture?” He asked, suddenly.

“No. I didn’t get to bring one because I was……in a haste to leave.”

“But if you have the opportunity to have one, will you grab it?”

“Why not? I will. But it must be of my biological parents and not the one my step father and brother is.” She replied with a frown on her face.

“How do you smile and always feel like your family are with you even when you don’t have their pictures with you?” He questioned.

“Well, I think about them. Or I talked to the air knowing that I’m actually talking to them and that makes me feel happy. I smile when I’m happy. When I’m in a good mood.”

“Hmm…..don’t you think I can smile without staring at their pictures or think about them?”

“You can! Just like me. But it’s better to think of one’s family too. You can be happy without them just like you and me. I survive without them a and I’m living a great life. I miss them though” Kimberly said and dusted the dirt on the picture.
“You should take all pictures relating to your family, clean them and hung them around the house or even a room like this where you come in, sit and fill yourself with the good memories you have with your family.” She added.

“Kimberly,” Her boss called, calmly.

“Sir?” She answered.

“You haven’t taken your bath, isn’t it?” He asked.

Why would he go there when they talking about a good topic? Wait! Is she smelling? Aissh! I already said he’s too rude.

“Y..yes. I was about to go home when you called me.”

“But you were busy talking to the picture in the living room.”

“You’re not going to talk about the picture I hung on the wall?”

“You mean, you removing it? Don’t worry. You’ve convinced me enough to put that there. Go to the guest room and take your bath, then come back to this place to clean everything, hung the pictures on the wall. Don’t worry, I have hammer and nails here. Put the paintings, frames at the right place, the toys, papers, just let it be a room full of memories as you said. No office work today.” He stated, his hands right in his pocket and reached halfway when Kimberly called him.

She was still surprised about what Damien spilled out. His craziness has been switched on.
“I will have to go home and change into another cloth. I can’t wear this dress.” She told him.

“Don’t worry, I will give you something to wear. You can’t disobey me right?” He answered her.

“Yeah, yeah. But are you okay with the pictures? You said you don’t want to remember…….”

“I’m okay. And………” He paused.

“And?”

“And, you’re not going home today. I want or should I say I need you to hear my story. I want to share it with you. Do you want to hear? I know you’re eager to know about me. I might not tell you again once I changed my mind”

“I’m staying.” He was finally going to open up to her.
Isn’t she lucky?

Chapter Twenty Seven

“I’m staying.” He was finally going to open up to her.
Isn’t she lucky?
Damien walked away from the room leaving Kimberly.
“Whoa! Did he realize what he just said? I need to take my bath and change into something. I’m sure going to stay in this huge house with him for today and hearing him talk about his life. Truly, he deserves to live a good life.” Kimberly said to herself.

Kimberly took her bath in the guest room and before she came out, a well folded green cloth has been lay down on the bed.

She took it, wore it and the cloth stopped right at her knees.
“Phew! Isn’t this short?”

“It isn’t. It stopped right at your knees. You’ve wore dresses like that before. So, I don’t see why you should complain about this.” Damien suddenly popped his head out from the door.

“Have you been standing there and peeping?” Kimberly shrieked.

“Yes. I have. You’ve got small……”

“Ah! Don’t say it. I don’t want to hear that.” Kimberly shut him up.
What was he going to say anyway? And he has been peeping? He sure saw her changing to the cloth and now he’s about to say, she had small b-obs, small buttocks and all that.

Damn! Kimberly, aren’t you stupid to stay here?

“What do you think I was going to say? I only wanted to say you have a small body and the cloth fit you well. You should take it. And if you think I was actually peeping, I’m not that type of guy. I was joking.” Damien explained further.

“Ohh!” Kimberly felt embarrassed immediately.
You’ve gone too far, girl. Next time, you think before thinking. Think before spilling out.

“I’m going to clean the room now.” She announced after folding her dress and placed it on the bed.

“Hey, secretary! I don’t think you should put that dirty dress on the bed. Your bag is available, isn’t it?” He smiled devilishly.

“Oh! Yes. My mistake!” She removed the dress from the bed and left the guest room.
After putting the dress in her bag, she headed up to the room and began cleaning and dusting.

“Argh! It been years this place had been taken care of. Even if he doesn’t want to remember his family, he should at least make the room neat and tidy.” She stopped to cough.

The door opened and it was Damien again. He walked in and watched his secretary doing a little house chores in his house.

“You shouldn’t just use vacuum machine for this small chores you’re doing.”

“I don’t see anything else to use apart from this. I think you should come clean too. It your house.” Kimberly answered.

“Me? Nope! I’m not used to cleaning strong dirt that makes me cough and all that. You should do it as your punishment for talking behind my back.”

“Sir, don’t you think Family picture will be angry at you? You’re punishing me because I was only talking to it.”

“Do what I asked you to do and talk no more. The next time I’m back, you should be done with it.” Damien checked his wristwatch. “Be done in the next one hour” He told her and left the room.

Kimberly shook her head and turned back to her cleaning. She started from pictures, paintings and awards. Setting them to the right place and hung some to the wall and some, she set them on floor around the corner of the room.

The boxes with paper doc-ments, some were certificates and were placed beside a table which was right In front of the window.

“There’s a table without a chair” She breathed out.

One hour later,
“Why should we put a swivel chair in the room. It not an office. Isn’t that crazy to think, secretary Kim?” Damien frowned.

What’s she trying to say? A swivel chair in the room? Yeah, a place to sit might be needed but definitely not a swivel chair.

“I know, it’s not an office. But you need it. You sit on the chair and roll around staring at everywhere in just one position.” Kimberly explained.

“You’re unbelievable! Whatever your meaning for this swivel chair is, just go to that room, it’s a library. There’s a new chair at the corner. Bring it.” Said Damien.

“You’re finally understanding me” Kimberly grinned. “So, you have a library, Sir Damien. You sure have great books isn’t it?”

“Yes. But you’re not allowed to touch any of it. Bring the swivel chair and get out of the library” His sudden cold voice sent shivers down Kimberly’s spine.

“Yes, sir.”

Kimberly went to bring the swivel chair and place it at the middle of the room. She dragged the table to the chair and smirked.

“Here you go. Room of memories, We shall call it” She said. “Please sit and feel the room.” She urged him to sit and he did.

“Sit” He replied.

Kimberly looked for where to sit until Damien told her to sit on the table.

“I didn’t want to change my mind about telling you about how my family died but I needed someone that can hear me out. Kimberly,” He called, looking at her and slowing moving the chair right and left. “When I’m talking and it gets to where you think it might be emotional, don’t show any reaction. Even when I’m through, I don’t want you to feel pity for me. I hate it when I’m being pitied and that’s one of the reasons I don’t want to let people know about my past. Behave like it nothing meaningful ” He concluded.

Kimberly couldn’t say anything but nodded her head and listened attentively.

“Good. My parents, I and my sister Emily were going on vacation to the Greenland beach which I promised myself not to step that place after the incident.” He began.

“That’s my favorite place.” She blurted out and quickly apologized for interrupting.

“Anyway, we’ve almost gotten there when the car suddenly somersaulted and caught fire. I was weak to open the door for myself. The car door was locked. I was later taken out after some people helped with ambulance and fire fighters.”

His eyes began to swell up and he was trying to fight back every tears that’d come out of his eyes.
He mustn’t cry In front of his secretary isn’t it? But that didn’t matter. The fact that she was there didn’t matter. He had the urge to cry his eyes out in front of her because he knew she will surely comfort him. She will be there for him.

Kimberly saw him but she couldn’t do anything. Damien already told her to behave like it’s nothing meaningful. But she really wanted to hold him and tell him, ‘It’s okay. Everything will be alright’

Damien continued. “I crawled to my family even with my very weak body. My family are my life. I didn’t have the chance to talk to daddy before he died. They were already half burnt or should I say their body is getting to that stage that it beyond recognition. The men took my dad while I’m still trying to tell my mom and sister that, they should stay alive and not leave me alone.

My mom only smiled and k-ssed both of my hands and told me to be a good man and that was when I realized that I was going to lose my parents this way. My only hope was now Emily, she was still gasping and holding on to my trouser like it her life. She kept telling to pray for her to live and I did that. I prayed hærd, prayed long for the first time in my life but she finally died in my hands. My wh0le family died in my hands. I was taken away from them because I wasn’t myself already. My eyes closed and I felt myself not being able to breathe, feeling unbearable pain and I didn’t know what happened after that.”

“What happened when you wake up?” Kimberly asked.

“I was going to tell you that. I woke up at the morgue. The nurses were about to place me among the dead bodies there but they stopped when they noticed I woke up. They were scared but that isn’t important. I asked for my parents and sister and I was told my parents are here in the morgue but my sister,…….”

“What happened to your sister?”

“I was told her corpse suddenly went missing.”
