OUR BOND

(25)

Damien's POV

Ever since Noel laid it out on the table I haven't seen rest. It amazed me how she was able to decipher all of that using only videos.

But I also couldn't get one thing out of my mind. What did they want from Noel? Just what was it?

"Don't forget Uncle is going to fetch me after classes" Noel said reminding me.

"Alright, be careful"

"Sure" she said going. I swear this girl always said sure but I don't believe she meant it.

I went to work and tried my very best to solve the case, when I felt my head was about to explode I paid Stefan a visit.

I went in.

"Damien seriously man would it kill you to knock?" he said seated at his meeting table with some employees looking like they were having the most serious meeting ever.

"I told you I'd start knocking the day I know you have a girlfriend"I said then took a seat on the couch.

He sighed.

"Please excuse us" Stefan asked, followed by the guys taking their leave.

"What is up with you today? why are you grumpy?, ugh wait you're always grumpy just it's times eight" he got closer and sat on one of the couches.

"What do you think about Rome?" I asked and Stefan's confusion was perfectly illustrated on his face.

"What?"

"Nevermind"

"Is it the X issue?" he asked and I looked over at him wondering how he guessed that.

Guess it was written stress in my forehead.

"It's everything, it's even my thoughts"

"What do you mean?" Was it even right to think this way?

"I somehow feel like Noel is in the middle of all this, bold assumption I know but I can't think of anything else. I mean take the amount of attacks we've been getting lately since she arrived"

"Damien might I remind you we're literally part of the biggest mafia in the world and you're the Don of it? What makes you jump all the theories connected to that and head on straight to Noel being the cause of us being attacked?" he asked, making me realise he must have heard wrong.

"I don't mean it like that, I know she's not the reason for everything happening" 

"So what are you saying then?" he asked.

"I just have this feeling that whoever they are... They are after Noel.

I feel like this is all a game and it's annoying the heck out of me... I-" In the middle of our talk his work phone rang.

"Hold on" he said and went to answer it.

"Yeah we're together why?"
I looked towards him. He seemed to listen to whatever the other person said and then got all chaotic.

That's when I stood up seeing how serious he was at the same he motioned me to stand up.

"What?" I asked him as soon as he got of the call.

"Let's go, you're not gonna like this"

I couldn't believe it even though it was all in front of me.

"Damien I'm he- holy shit!" Lorenzo exclaimed and rightfully so.

"Who did this?!" he asked.

"We don't know, Eliza called earlier telling us to get down here quickly MLi headquarters had been robbed" Stefan filled him in.
