Damien POV:
I went to Xavier's company to discuss with him
Arriving there he was at a board meeting
I went into his office and sat by the edge of his desk
Honestly he really is trying living having two identities
But he has no other choice, it's a vow he made and it's be broken, well not easily
The door was pushed open and he walked inside
Elegantly dressed in a black suit
"What's up" he asked on arrival
"I have something I wanna discuss with you" I said
He didn't reply but instead got a pack of cigarette, took one out then light it
He sat down on the couch close to the window and crossed his leg
Taking a draw he said
"Am listening" he said smoke coming out from his mouth
"You might not like what am about to say" I warned
"Then don't say it" he said, seeming less concerned
I ignored his words and spoke anyway
"It's about your pink head pony" I said and he remained silent for a while
"I hope it's not what am thinking"
"Oh no it's not"
I lied trying to get a spark from him but his next reply made me feel like hitting him with my shoe
"Just keep it to yourself i am not interested"
"Gosh man, you are damn frustrating" I said but did not get any reason nor response
"She really needs your help" i said and he looked at me
"And I have told her I won't" he replied, stood up and headed towards the door
"If you don't help her, your secret identity will come out sooner or later" I said picking my nails
He stopped then tilted his head towards me
"Is that a threat or what" he said starring intensely at me
I just continued picking my nails like nothing happened, trying to avoid those eyes of his
Gosh we have been friends since childhood and I haven't fully gotten used to his murderous gaze yet
I freaks me out sometimes
I will recommend him for a scary movie,he won't need any artificial effects he naturally has it all
He walked up to me
"Are you gonna speak or not" he said now in front of me
I looked up at him, straight in the eyes
"I thought you said you weren't interested"
I could clearly see the annoyance in his face
He sighed
"Am listening Damien"
"Now you are talking ( I said patting him) what do you think about Scarlett's father's death"
"It's obvious she is just being framed"
"Why do you think someone would wanna frame her"
"Because she is weak and gullible" he replied with face cold like ice
"Really Xavier, really" I said
What an a*shole he is
"Just get straight to the damn fu*king point"he replied
I starred at him for a while before saying my main course
"If you accept to help her, you will have two problems off your plate"
"And that is"
"One, who ever sent you that email is surely the killer and must surely be aware of your true identity and if the killer doesn't find someone to put the blame on anymore, he or she is gonna come for you"
I said but all my words did not have a single effect on him
"Just help her catch the freaking killer and avoid being exposed"
"Tell me the second one and I might consider"
"First tell me what you think about what I just said"
He smirked before replying
"Which do you think is faster, the news of my identity or me retracting it" he said answering my question with a question
I sighed in frustration
Honestly staying with Xavier can drive someone mad. If its not the murderous eyes or the cold attitude then it's certainly the sarcastic answers.His anger is on another chapter
Gosh that poor girl is really trying
"Secondly, you know your grandma has been pressuring you to get married…"
I was still talking when he suddenly looked at with with wide open eyes
"Are you crazy" he cut in angrily
"Let me finish before you conclude if am crazy…the marriage doesn't have to be real, it's gonna be a fake cult wedding" I said
I know Xavier, he loves his grandma with everything in him , she is the only family he has left
His parents death is one tragic event he never talks about
"It's a win win on your side, just stay with her for three months, help her and that's all"
He didn't say anything and just offed his cigarette and kept it on a small glass bowl, then left
I smiled in satisfaction
I won't bother chasing after him my words have done all the work .
Xavier POV:
I drove on the busy roads of New York heading to my secret mansion
I rode for a while reached an empty deserted road
Giving my EarPod a light tap I said
"Is it clear" I asked
"Yes sir" my bodyguard on the other line replied
With that I took off
Reaching home, I was planning on taking a warm shower, my pills then rest
I am really tired
But getting to my bedroom I saw my little pony sitting on the floor and leaning on my door
Gosh this girl I don't just know what to do with her
She is a total pain in the ass
Now why the heck is she sitting there
I tugged at her with my leg
She opened her eyes and looked at me
Eyes wide open like someone who has just seen a ghost
"What are you doing here" she said
I starred at her, up and down, was she sleepwalking or what
"I should be asking you that and not the other way around"
She looked around and her eyes widened, quickly she stood up
Her lips curved into that babyish smile of hers
"Am so sorry sir, I did not want to get you angry by going into your room without permission so I decided to wait for you here"
"Humph, wait rather than sleeping" I said shoving her aside and then entered my room
"If you won't come in then don't stand there" I said to her and the next second she was already beside me
Gosh! This girl is gonna be a headache
"What do you want from me" I asked when she sat in
A bright smile matching her amber eyes formed on her lips
She started talking, telling stuffs and stuffs, her ex, her best friend and her father's murderer
"You want revenge" I said summarizing everything she just said
"Yes sir…..so sir are you willing to help me" I smirked
"Maybe…..but I don't think so"
"Sir please I will do anything"
Yeah I love the sound of that
"Really"
"Yes sir"
"Hmmmm ok….behave for the main time and I will consider helping you" I replied
The brightest smile I have ever seen appeared on her lips
"Thank you sir" she walked towards the door but stopped
"But sir, you have not yet told me what you want from me in return" she asked, her voice low and timid
"You will find out soon"
