Chapter 10 SHOCKING REVELATION

THIRD PERSON POV

Damon looked at her, his finger already doing the countdown, he on purpose was ignoring Jessica's plea to let it go..

When his hand was at eight, Jane knee drop to the floor, she held Jessica hand, looking up at her.

" I'm sorry about my ill manner of speaking, please forgive me," she said, her head low in humiliation.

" Baby girl, do you forgive her," Damon asked Jessica, his evilish eyes fixated on her.

Jessica stared at the curious eyes now watching them, before looking back at Jane.

" It's okay, I forgive her," Jessica replied as Jane was signalled to stand up.

" If you may excuse us, I will like to show my lady to the rest of the guests," Damon said, pulling Jessica with him.

Humiliated, Jane rushes to the bathroom. She breathes in trying to calm herself. " Don't worry Jane," she tells herself, she screamed when she saw the images already on the news

"Proud Jane Force To Knee For The New Boss Lady,". This was the top headline as a picture of her was already on the news.

She screamed the more, throwing her phone to the ground. Her father was so close to Benvolio and so she could carry herself with pride, making remarks of his past girlfriend and he wouldn't respond.

She had even declined an arranged marriage with Damon, which was the second reason her father had hated her.

She now has two agenda on her list. First she would make Jessica life a living hell so she could kneel down quicker to her, just to cover the scandal and secondly, she would make Damon like her, and ruin his current girlfriend, getting her dignity back.

She quickly composed herself, smiling and praising herself for the plan next in mind. Picking up her phone, she left the restroom, with so much confidence.

On the other hand, Jessica felt bad for Jane, she wasn't thought to have revenge rather she was thought to always give love in return.

She knew revenge would only give birth to more revenge and she didn't want that. Jane could be deadly if she wanted to, seeing how determined she wanted Jessica to kneel down, not minding their years of friendship, she didn't know what else she could do.

Most especially if she finds out that Jane had knelt down for her and with what Damon planned on doing, she felt overwhelmed by the situation.

Jessica, curious eyes from the state, found Jane. She could clearly see Jane giving her death glare and immediately drew her attention to Damon's father 's speech.

She noticed how the whole place was quiet, people listening and only asking questions when they wanted, yet they did all this with a respectful manner..

She had sat down by his right, his father on his left. Two other people sat down by her side, two people she wasn't introduced to.

She could feel the guy's eyes on her as she was the only one with a covered face on the table.

A warm touch on her hand got her looking back at Damon. " I know you are nervous," he whispered, still touching her.

" I am more than nervous," she wanted to scream, however she couldn't, she could warmly smile at him turning back her attention to Damon's father as he gave the speech on the history of the Benvolio.

" I thought this was supposed to be your party," she asked as his father spoke.

" Before my disappearance, I was supposed to fully inherit the Benvolio title," Damon replied.

" So you were supposed to be killed for your position," she questioned as he nodded in acceptance.

She chuckled softly, his eyes fixed on her. " What's funny?" He questioned.

" I'm sorry, I thought you were supposed to be powerful, yet you were almost killed," She replied.

" Well, they are still people that do it discreetly," he explained. " For example, my step mom and her son," he went on, immediately causing her to frown.

" The lady sitting really close to my father is my step mother, the two people sitting on your left are my brother and his wife," he introduced, his tone really down.

She wanted to say something more but he was already introduced by his father.

He stood up, offering his hand as he led her to the microphones. Everyone's eyes immediately turned to her, eager to see the face, including Jane.

" I would spare out the formalities," Damon started. "Besides, it's not like you expect me to start talking of my next plan as the new owner of the Groups when you already know my work before I became the owner. I believe we all know each other and I know you all want to know why I am here and who is this lady by my side," he went on.

His father laughed at this statement, smiling proudly. Damon has always been direct, he doesn't cut corners or beat around the bush or try to sugar coat his words and so as he is direct, he wants you to be direct, it was among the reasons why he had picked him.

" So few days or weeks ago," Damon said, attaining full focus from his father, who wanted to know he survived an assassination sent by his father.

" I had decided that before owing everything, I would like to crop out the insincere, backsliding members in our midst. Because it had come to our notice that some of you go against the law using my name as a backup," he said.

" And by doing so, I nearly got eliminated and that is how I found my queen," he went on, looking at her.

" Now because of her, I'm back with the names of those people and I shall remove them," he continued.

His eyes lingering around, pin pointing those who he wanted to remove. He could see their fear on their face already as they met eye to eye.

He would have to deal with those who joined hand with his brother to kill him first, before attending to his brother lastly.

But now, he wanted to attend to Jane's issue first and because of that, he withdrew his eyes from the crowd, looking at Jessica.

" So without waiting time, I will introduce you to the lady who had earned the spot to run this company by my side," he said, his eyes still looking at Jessica.

" I present to you, Miss Jessica Murphy," he announced,the exact moment Jessica had removed his mask and glasses.

Out of shock Jane wine glasses fell down from her hand, shattering when it got to the floor.

If Jessica was his girlfriend, she would be doomed. " No" she muttered as everything became audible for her.

Fear grips her immediately as she recalls her words to Jessica. "Was she going to take revenge on her, would there be more humiliation coming up this evening," she thought, as hers and Jessica's eyes met.
