Chapter 1 1

Damian

My life hasn't been as easy as it may seem from outside. People thought I had everything in my life which in one way or the other true but it wasn't how they thought it was. I was indeed the heir of the Alessandro group but my own company, DA was the result of my hard work, sweat and blood. I have everything I want but the only thing I resent with my whole heart: Women.

I am not gay. I have particular interests in women that are limited to the bedroom but that's all that is to it. Each one of them is a gold digger. All they want is my hard dick and the hard cash that comes with me. So I maintain a safe distance from them.

I wasn't always like this. I was capable of warmth and love once. But just one night was enough to turn my Whole world upside down. It's been 7 years. The first year was difficult for me but then it got easier. But as a result of it I have walls high up around the place that once contained my warm beating heart.

"Addy, Your 5'o clock is here and then you free for your dinner with your dad." My Secretary Jillian pulled me out of my thoughts.

"Mr Williams is here with the contract papers between DA and Sarrson Corp. I have booked the usual table for you and your dad at the plaza." She smiled at me.

Jillian was an exception. She was in her mid 20's and I have known her since the time she started as an intern here. A alcoholic father and a younger sister to look after, she is a younger sister to me.

" You and Jules can join us as well. You know my dad love you both." I smiled back at her.

"I know Addy but Jules needs help with her paper for her upcoming examination."

I walk out of my tall office building and breathe in the fresh evening air. Even though New York can be stuffy and chaotic, this helps me calm my head. Miles, my driver and security guy but above all that my most trusted confidant parked my car in-front of me.

"I think you should settle down." Dad took a bite of his stake and looked up at me.

This wasn't anything new for me so I decided to let it go. " I will think about it Dad." The best way to avoid this conversation.

"You better think about it Son or else The Montgomery project is out of your hand and so is the position of CEO."

I could feel confusion clouding my mind. "What do you mean ?"

"I mean I had a chat with Mr Christian Montgomery today at Lunch. He is my friend from college if you remember. He mentioned something about you not being too serious when it comes to your life and that is holding him back from considering you as the best candidate for the the project."

I glared at him and rubbed my temple. "I have put my life in DA and he thinks I am not serious just because I am not married." I drank the remaining whiskey from my glass.

"Calm down, Son. Chris is a man of old thinking and for him a man without a wife isn't too serious. If you don't get the Montgomery project the board will be disappointed. They already consider you a playboy billionaire in the media's words and that's what bothering Chris as well."

I can feel a headache building up. Obviously the media exaggerated every fucking thing. But I always keep my business and my personal life separate. How did it get so messed up all of a sudden?

I covered my face with my palm and took a deep breath. "What is the solution then? I find a wife and settle down? Will that show every fucking person how fucking serious I am? Which my fucking hard work couldn't show ?"

I look at my father anger boiling inside me like molten lava.

All these years of hard work and working my ass of for DA was all useless. My Dream project was inches away for me and an absolutely unnecessary clause was the hurdle separating me from it.

My Father took a sip from his glass of wine. He gave me a soft smile. "Leave it to me Son."

I watched my husband sign the papers that would end our marriage while he was busy texting the woman he actually loved. He didn't even glance at the header. He just scribbled the sharp, jagged signature that had signed death warrants for half of New York, tossed the file onto the passenger seat, and tapped his screen again. "Done," he said, his voice devoid of emotion. That was Dante Moretti. The Underboss. A man who could smell a lie from a mile away but couldn't see that his wife had just handed him an annulment decree disguised beneath a stack of mundane logistics reports. For three years, I scrubbed his blood out of his shirts. I saved his family's alliance when his ex, Sofia, ran off with a civilian. In return, he treated me like furniture. He left me in the rain to save Sofia from a broken nail. He left me alone on my birthday to drink champagne on a yacht with her. He even handed me a glass of whiskey—her favorite drink—forgetting that I despised the taste. I was merely a placeholder. A ghost in my own home. So, I stopped waiting. I burned our wedding portrait in the fireplace, left my platinum ring in the ashes, and boarded a one-way flight to San Francisco. I thought I was finally free. I thought I had escaped the cage. But I underestimated Dante. When he finally opened that file weeks later and realized he had signed away his wife without looking, the Reaper didn't accept defeat. He burned down the world to find me, obsessed with reclaiming the woman he had already thrown away.
