Isabella 77."Are you sure about this?" Damien asked me as we made our way to the elevator."I am not going to put my life on pause because of someone like Robert, I will be fine," I told him. He did not seem to be reassured by my claim."Just call me when you need anything," He said and the elevator opened and I walked into my office floor.I gave him a short wave and made my way to the office. There was a work place murmur going on when I stepped into the floor. The buzz died down as soon as all eyes were on me. I felt so self conscious and I was aware that they all knew what I had gone through."It's good to see you back at work, Ms. Moretti," A lady said kindly and I looked over at her."Thank you, it feels good to be back," I told her in a polite manner and smiled.I looked around and I could see friendly smiles and nods directed at me. It made me feel good and I recalled what Damien told me before we left the house."Renaissance is your home, Isabella and the workers are your fa

Damien 78."Board meeting in thirty minutes, boss," Jackson told me as I plopped down on my seat and swivelled to watch the outside world through my windows."I did not say anything about a board meeting," I told Jackson firmly."Well, major shareholders from around the world are on their way, Damien," He told me."That bad?" I asked."Worse, they are getting worried, Damien," Jackson said, the worry in his voice slightly pissing me off."Nothing is going to happen to their shares, Renaissance is that good," I said in a exasperated manner."I don't think is what they are worried about, Damien," Jackson said as he sat down across me."What are they worried about?" I asked."Company image, integrity, and future," He said.I sighed. He was right. The company had been taking some hits and it was showing in the stock prices."Who called the meeting?" I asked, genuinely interested."Someone who is concerned?" He said. He did not know.I got up and headed for the do

Isabella 79.Trouble had literally come to my door step in form of a very formidable woman. Natalia's mother was the last person I had wanted to see here. I was still shocked by her presence and words refused to form."I don't know what to say, Ms. Dumas, your presence here has caught me by surprise," I said to her. I was feeling very uneasy as she gazed at me."It is alright dear, I have that effect on most people," She replied with a polished accent."Still, I am honored by your presence, Ms. Dumas," I said, wondering why she was really here."Please, call me Rose, since we will be seeing much of each other from now on," She told me with a smile that did not quite reach her eyes."I do not understand," I said to her unsure of where this was going.She smiled as she looked at me for a while. "Isabella, I find the whole office life and politics boring, then you came along," She said.I was still unsure of where this was going. "I can tell you now, Ms. Dumas, it w

Damien 80.Isabella sat stiffly beside me as the board meeting commenced. Her face a cold angry mask, devoid of warmth. There was a knowing smile etched on the face of Rose St. Dumas. I had no idea what she had told my wife but I was going to find out."Let us begin," Marcus announced as we all settled comfortably on our respective seats.One of the members cleared his throat. He was a delegate from West Asia and he had a permanent angry face with thick rimmed spectacles."We are quite worried about how you conduct your business and we do are not encouraged to further do business with you, Damien San," He gravely said. "My delegates do not wish to be known for associating with criminal entities," He finished.I waited. It was not yet time to respond. This was not my first meeting and surely it would not be my last. As a CEO, talking first was seen as a sign of weakness. The only way to make this meeting successful was to let everyone speak their mind."We wou

Isabella 81.I momentarily forgot that I was angry at Damien when I saw him in action. He exuded so much confidence as he sat beside me in the conference room. I watched him with awe has he sat there without an iota of fear on his eyes.So this was how office politics worked. It was brutal and pitiless the way the man called Al Vegas was dismissed. It felt so surreal to see a once proud man transform into a terrified old man.When Damien had moved for the motion to vote Vegas out after his dirty deeds had been laid bare for all to see. I watched closely has his confidence crumbled to pieces as one hand after the other went up to vote him out. It was so unbelievable."I am an important part of this company, goddammit! I helped built it your back stabbing sons of bitches," He bellowed in a mixture of fear and rage. However, no one would look him in the eyes."It does not justify stealing from us, Al," Damien replied stoically. If an employee yelled at me this wa

Damien 82.Neither of us stepped out of the elevator when it's doors slid opened. There was nothing of interest in my office except if we both wanted to do things of other interest which included getting naked. I had no problem with that but it would be inappropriate.My Cara was in a dejected mood and it was all my fault. I had believed so much that my past would stay buried, hidden and forgotten. I was wrong. People kept on creeping into my life from left to right. I knew that my past would catch up with me.What I did not expect was that it was going to happen this quick. I had met the Dumas through Vito my father but it was a brief one. When they had come for him, I temporarily stayed with the St. Dumas family. There I had met Natalia and we hit it off.Although I made it clear that I was not interested in being adopted by them, I even threatened to run away if they did but they rather found it funny. The St. Dumas were like a second family to me but som

Isabella 83.Natalia walked side by side with her father and they chatted animatedly while Rose walked further in front with her arm linked with Damien's. If I had not mentally prepared myself for this, I would have been fuming with rage.This whole family seemed off somehow. I was appalled by how calm Marcus was about the whole thing. What scared me was how unruffled his demeanor was. It was almost as if he did not care that his lawfully wedded wife was shamelessly throwing herself at another man.An engaged man to be precise. I was losing respect for her as the moment went by. Whatever weird family dynamic they had, I wanted to no part on it."It was splendid the way you ousted Vegas, I always knew he had something to hide," Rose loudly spoke, directing attention back to herself. I tried to stop myself from scoffing."Background check," Damien said with a neutral tone."Well as ordinary as you make it look, it was still quiet impressive," Marcus commented. I
A Deal With The Billionaire CEO 84
Damien 84.I had forgotten how mentally exhausting it was to deal with Rose. In fact it was draining to deal with the St. Dumas family because of how insatiable they all were. I admired how well Isabella seemed to be taking in a these.We had not even spent the whole day together, and Rose was already playing her hand. The only way to win this was to play dumb and keep silent. I could not let them know that Isabella was pregnant with my child.I had spent enough time with them to know how adamant they were when they went after something they wanted."Let's get back to city, there is much to be done," I told them, getting to my feet and lending a hand to Rose. There was no reason to stop being a gentleman even though I was uncomfortable with how close she was.Rose happily took my hand and we all left the beautiful terrace and leisurely walked to where our ride was waiting. The time was three thirty on the dot and work hours were done. She managed to waste a
