Chapter 5 Crazy

DAMIEN'S POV

"What do you want here, Elise?" I asked coldly as I saw Elise walk in.

She wanted to sit beside me but I was quick to stand up and face her.

"I.. I..." She let out, stutteringly, she was obviously disoriented by my cold stance.

"I have been thrown out by my father. Please, I have nowhere to go except here." She said, shakily.

"You have no place here, Elise! Leave now." I declared and she froze. I couldn't look at her the same way anymore after what happened.

"What... What did you say?" I asked, in shock.

"I say you have no place here anymore! Leave! Get out of my life! You are the cause of all this! Go!" He yelled and I staggered, in shock.

"Please, don't do this to me. I have nowhere else to go. You know I'm innocent, uncle!" She said as she was about to go down on her knees to beg me.

But before she could do that, I took hold of her hand and dragged her out of the house.

I flung her out and her body landed on the floor with a loud thud.

"Go, Elise, and never come back! You are a pain in the neck!" He said and directly shut the door.

"You think I do not know what you did, huh? Do you want to get back at me for hitting on you? Did your parents send you to do this?" I yelled, in anger.

But then I didn't need any answer from her! I already figured it out on my own.

"Don't do this to me, Uncle." She said with a dejected tone.

"I'm not responsible for whatever happened." She reiterated but I couldn't believe her.

I never had sex with her, how then could she put up such a thing on the internet? It showed how vile she was.

"Go!" I stood on my word.

"If I leave now, I'll never come back! I might end up dying. Is that what you want?" She asked but I could care less.

I still had to think of a way to diffuse the situation from affecting my company.

"Yes. Who cares if you die? I'm already lenient with you for not sending you to jail!" I said with a nonchalant tone and then turned around to walk back inside.

However, before I shut the door in her face, I could see the look of regret and sadness in her eyes. Most of all there was hatred in them and I felt scared for a minute.

But I was quick to shake off that feeling and in the next second, I slammed the door in her face.

I got back into the house and picked up the bottle of alcohol I left. I downed the content in one gulp and I staggered.

I felt shattered and hurt and I felt betrayed by the girl I had watched over.

Ever since Elise's 18th birthday, I had watched her grow into a young woman. I couldn't take my eyes off her as my feelings and attraction for her grew.

I longed to take care of her and that was the sole reason why I offered her a job. But I never knew I would fall into a web of intense love while I start to work with her daily.

I couldn't suppress my love for her anymore and I summoned the courage to confess to her only to be turned down.

But then I never knew that she would stab me in the back that way.

Slowly, I took out my phone to cross check the evidence of her wrongdoings. It was sent anonymously but it couldn't be denied that she had tried to sabotage my image when I never even touched her.

One hour passed and I was shrouded in darkness but then I heard the clicking sounds of heels. Slowly, I looked up to see Nicola walking toward me.

My phone was still in my hands because I was constantly checking the evidence just to make me really believe what happened.

"I see what you got there..." She said, pointing at my phone as she stood before me.

"What do you want here?" I asked, through gritted teeth. Seeing Nicola reminded me of how cruel a woman can be. She was another perfect example.

After cheating on me, she expected me to take her back. There was no way I could do that.

"I want you, Damien." She replied, straightforwardly. In the next second, I laughed out loud. My laughter echoed through the whole house and swiftly, it came to an abrupt end.

"You can never have me, Nicola!" I said.

"Now, leave!" I added, with resoluteness and with so much disgust in my eyes.

"Too bad, I have you now." She said and I frowned.

"Have you gone crazy?" I asked with a confused look in my eyes.

"Yes, Damien. I have gone crazy for you and I will do anything to get you. I will wipe out whatever woman that is in my way. It does not matter if you love that woman or not." Her words resounded in my ears and I gasped.

She was obsessed with me and it was crazy because she cheated on me.

Added to that, my brain clicked and a guess came to my mind.

"What did you do, Nicola? Did you do something?" I asked, in panic.

"Did I?" She asked.

"Yes, I did. I'm sure your little niece would be running far away from you now after the little video gift I gave you both."

"No matter what you do. You will always come back to me! For the record, I'm the second biggest shareholder in your company now. And I can take you off your CEO seat, if you don't act right!" She said and I was filled with so much disbelief.

"Nicola..." I let out, as I began to shake in anger.

"I'll kill you." I declared as I rushed toward her. I caught her by the neck and squeezed it tightly.

But then she looked back at me, with a crazy smile.

"Choke me, baby." She said and I gasped.

I realized that I had landed myself a crazy woman while I lost the person I loved.

What will I do now? Regret washed over me and right at this point, all I wanted was to have Elise back again.
