Bewitched Hearts

28. The Fun has just Begun

Both of them seemed to be captivated in their kiss, they almost didn't hear the phone ring. Danny pulled away slowly for him to answer the call, but was immediately pulled back when Damien crushed his lips against hers once again.

Danny smiled against his lips and whispered as she tugged away a little, "Damien, answer your phone." 

Both of them stared at each with the same intense emotions that filled their eyes. Their minds were so blurred and fuzzy that Danny held her head as if she would faint. Damien cleared his thoughts free and quickly fetched the phone out of his pockets to see an unknown number flashed on his screen. He scrunched his eyebrows up in confusion as to who would call him at this hour of the night but nonetheless swiped to answer the call.

"Hello again," A deep, rough voice greeted him before he could speak, "Old friend."

His voice was somewhat familiar but Damien could not really recognise whose it was. Crease lines formed on Damien's forehead, "Sorry, who's speaking?" He spoke in a business tone.

"You don't remember me, Sarge? You should remember your old friends." The man mocked with a chuckle.

"Paul, I swear if this is a prank, this is not the time." He warned as he ran his fingers through his hair.

"Oh, how I wish I could lay my hands on your friend Paul as I did on dear Kevin," Damien tensed at the mention of his name and Danny noticed his change in expression and looked at him curiously, "You remember Kevin, don't you, Damien?"

Those eyes flashed in front of him.

Damien curled his fist in anger as his nails dug deep into the skin of his palm, "You bastard, how dare you!" He recognised who was on the phone. His face became red in anger and eyes filled with fury.

Danny watched Damien's change in persona in utter confusion, "Damien, what's wrong?" She held out her hand and touched his arm but he jerked away.

"Ah, the girl!" The man exclaimed, "She's with you, huh? Having some fun while you're at it?" He laughed and Damien's eyes looked at Danny for the first time since he picked the call, "How is she? You killed my man Gary for her, that bitch!"

"Shut up, you bastard!" Damien yelled and Danny jerked back away in shock at the outburst and the man on the line just laughed loudly, "I swear, I'm gonna hunt you down and make you pay for each and every wrong you did in life that you wished you didn't." He threatened in a dangerously low voice that it sent a shiver down Danny's spine.

The man laughed maniacally, "I wish you all the luck, old friend. But before that, just take care of your family for me, will you? Or else I would have to do that for you."

"Don't even think about it, you fucking mongrel. You even dare to lay your eyes on them and see what happens." He warned, his voice laced with danger.

"Oh, I have eyes on them, alright. I know every single movement of your precious family. One wrong move from your side and they're out," the man threatened in a cold voice and Damien's body shook in anger. "I know your weakness now, Damien." The man taunted from the other side and Damien's eyes flickered over to Danny for a second.

Damien scoffed in disbelief at his empty threat, "Stop bullshitting me! I will come for you very soon and you will regret that you've messed with the wrong person."

"Let the fun begin, Sarge.." The voice drawled as they hung up.

Damien gripped his phone tight, cursed and stormed away into the house in a flash.

Danny just stood near the pool as she watched him storm off, pure shock evident on her face.
