Burn Those Who Burned Me novel Chapter 42

Chapter 42

-Thomas‘ POV:

The mentioning of the invitations, Darius thought this would be a good time to ask about Damon. Speaking coolly, Darius walked closer to Aaron

“I’ve been meaning to ask Chairman, what exactly is your relationship to my older brother Damon?”

Thomas and the Crests all looked at Darius in shock, why was he asking about Damon? Daniel’s face suddenly darkened, he hadn’t expected Darius to flat out ask the chairman. He’d hope they would have time to speak with the family first, but Darius just blurted it out! Davis gave a puzzled took to his son.

“Darius, the chairman doesn’t know Damon, why would you as-”

“Because he’s here.”

Darius cut his father off; his gaze never leaving Aaron, there was something about his coolness that concerned Darius. He had a feeling there was something going on and an uneasy feeling began to creep into his chest. Amber’s gasp broke his train of thought.

“A–Are you saying Damon is here this evening? In THIS ballroom?”

Thomas could feel the color draining from his face, if Damon revealed the truth about Rabena, they would all be screwed! Grabbing Darius‘ arm, Daniel spoke up.

“Darius, might we have a word with our family in private for a moment.”

He spoke in earshot so that Aaron couldn’t hear them. Darius gave Daniel a quick look, he’d realized this was not the best way to handle things. Letting out a slight sigh, he nodded in agreement. Daniel smiled coolly at Aaron about to apologize when he noticed a slight smirk on his face. Something was definitely going on.

“My apologies Chairman Michales, I need to have a word with my family for a moment.‘

Aaron gave a polite but dark smile, just as he suspected, they’d seen Damon which was causing them to panic. This was most certainly going to be fun. Aaron gave a polite nod approving Daniel’s request. After thanking him, Thomas along with the Crests walked frantically away.

Once they found a secluded section, Thomas pushed Darius against the wall.

“What the fuck is going on Darius! Damon is here?”

Thomas seethed as he barked in a quiet tone sure not to cause a scene. Daniel then grabbed his shoulder pulling his back.

“Take it easy Lockwood! Yes…Damon is here.”

Everyone stood with their faces pale, they knew this could cause some serious problems. Thomas ran his fingers through his hair in frustration.

“I don’t understand, what the hell is he doing here; and why the hell didn’t you both tell me!”

Darius walked up to Thomas‘ face; he’d had enough of lim acting like they were his assistants.

“Let’s be clear Lockwood, we don’t work for you. This really doesn’t concern you; Damon is OUR brother.”

Thomas began to seethe, had this fool forgotten what was at stakel

“In case you’ve forgotten Darius, we’re here tonight to secure the MGT deal. That DOES concern me as it does you all ass well? Have you forgotten, thaman could blow the whistle on this whole thing if he tells Mifhales the truth!”

Amber let out an exasperated sigh, that runy! Causing trouble again! That’s all she ever does! Danielle also looked around in a panic, if word got out about how the Crests treated Rabena this could ruin them all. She wasn’t about to lose her chance to snatch Chairman Michaels. From the moment she’d saw him. she decided she wanted to be the chairman’s wife, no longer interested in marrying Thomas. In a sugary voice, she decided to speak

“Maybe we should all find Damon, if we can reason with him, maybe he’ll help us.”

Chapter 42

Darius looked over at Danielle with irritation, he’d saw how she was looking at the chairman He also noticed how the chairman looked at her and he could have sworn he saw hints of disgust in his eyes.

“Dani, I don’t think Damon cares about what we’re trying to do.”

“Then make him!”

Voice raising, Danielle was starting to lose her patience. Damon had always been annoying, constantly siding with Rabena. She couldn’t understand why be didn’t love her like everyone else did.
