Chapter 7: Chapter 7
Damien looked down, his hands was covered with blood and he realized that Kimberly had released his shirt. She wasn't moving at all.
He raised his head to the girls and said, "Call the ambulance immediately" They obeyed.
******************
The ambulance arrived and took Kimberly away.
"That son of a b*tch!" Damien growled before entering his car and drove out of the church.
Anita and Chloe had followed the ambulance.
The doctors kept treating Kimberly till few hours passed and one of them came out before the another one came out with two nurses.
"How's she, doctor?" Anita stood up immediately the doctors came and ran to one of them while Chloe followed her.
"The surgery went well. But she's still unconscious. In the next two hours, I'm sure she will wake up."
The doctor explained and left.
"God! I feel like strangling that stupid Nathan! He almost took her life." Chloe clenched her fist and went to sit back.
"I'd make sure I cut his legs when I see him." Anita added.

"What's wrong boss? You came back early? I thought you said you're going to attend your secre......."
"Just shut up, Mr Ben. Don't make me unleash my anger on you. I'm not in a good mood." Damien cut him off and walked to his office.
He picked up his ringing phone and placed it in a loud speaker.
"Yes?" He knitted his brows in question.
"Sir, the guy is leaving the country back to Canada." The guy answered.
He had asked Steven to get Nathan's whereabout.
"Okay. That's okay and good to hear. For how long is he going to live there?"
"He's staying there permanently, Sir."
"Ohh...." He mouthed. "Son of a b!tch!" He whispered.
"Good job you've done, Steven. I will send you your pay." He added.
"Thank you Sir. I'm available anytime you need me."
Damien could picture the smike on Steven's face.
The line went dead and Damien sat on his chair. He turned around facing the glass that made him see the busy road.
Few minutes later, he could hear some noise outside his office, he opened his closed eyes and turned away from the glass.
"You can't go in, ma'am! He said he's not in a good mo...." The door burst open revealing Me Ben and Clara.
F*ck! What's she doing here?
He thought he made a deal with her.
"I tried talking to her but she........" Damien shut Mr Ben's mouth up.
"Okay sir." He left the office but not without glaring at Clara.
"What do you want, Clara?"
Clara could sense his dark thick voice towards her.
"Damien, I know we made a deal back then but this time I need another favor." She pouted.
They did fake date for five months since their parents wanted them together. They had to make it look like they were dating and since the incident that happened to Damien and his family, he told Clara's family the truth that they aren't in love with each other. And they parted.
Damien scoffed. " A favor or a deal? To date you again?"
"Okay, let me get this straight. Damien I'm in love with you." She blurted.
Damien flinched and closed his laptop completely before facing her.
"Come again. I didn't hear you correctly."
"Damien, stop pretending you didn't hear what I just said. I'm in love with you." She said again.
Love? Well, he doesn't believe in love. But he knows how to f*ck b!tches. Yeah.
Love indeed.
"You know me when it comes to love, Clara. I don't do love. You can't just come here and tell me you're in love with me after making we made a deal on not to fall in love with each other."
"Damien, you can't blame me okay? I just suddenly find myself longing to have you back in my life again. I've fallen in love with you. Don't reject me." Clara uttered softly with pleading eyes.
"Clara, I can't love you. You knew I dated you because of our parents. You see, I don't want any love relationship with any woman. Not now! Now even many years to come." Damien rolled his eyes at her and got up from his seat.
"You can't fall in love with me, Clara. I'm a man whose heart is filled with darkness. You can find a better man who's going to love you back. I'm going to check my secretary who had an accident. You can leave the office when you're through." He sighed, walked closer to kissed her cheek and majestically left his office.
Clara clutched her bag tight before hitting the table hard with her hand.
Yes, she's madly in love with him. She's going crazy all because of him. But he doesn't love her back.
She gently stood up and left the office too.
*********
Damien smiled then glared at the doctor. The glare made the doctor fear that he might punch him anytime soon.
"How can you tell me she ran away?! Someone who's badly injured." Damien yelled, holding the doctor's coat. "If you don't provide my secretary in the next thirty minutes, you're going to get it from me." He released the shivering doctor.
"I promise to look for her. Even her friends went looking for her. We don't know how she disappeared."
"I'm sure she's not a ghost. Go check the CCTV footage." Damien ordered.
"She's really crazy. How did she ran away even in her state?" He mumbled.
In a room, Damien sat down with his legs crossed while he watched the guy operate the computer containing the CCTV activities.
"There she is. She took a taxi outside the building. She's gone." The doctor pointed at Kimberly as she took the taxi outside the hospital. Her head was still bandaged and her hands. She was even limping.
"I think we should call the police." The man suggested.
"No! Don't involve any police. She's just going through emotional stress or something. I will find her." Damien spoke and left the room.
'I shouldn't involve myself into this. But I can't stay and watch my secretary dying.' Damien thought.
