Damiens p.o.v at age 11

"You don't expect me to hand our underground business to you like this, pick up the pace kid." My grandfather yelled at me while i was running through the track field. He pushed me even more every day, making each obstacle harder the next day. Not one day did i get a break, all he wanted was to see results, all he wanted to see was his grandson take over the business better than his son ever could.

I have been at my grandfathers house only for a couple of days and it's been brutal. My parents left me with him since they had more business to attend to, i felt abandoned. All i wanted to do was go home. My grandmother went along with them as well which left me with him.

"Please grandfather i can't run anymore im tired." I pleaded as i stopped running, i took short quick breaths to easy my breathing but all i earned was a slap on the cheek.

"It's sir to you, now keep running until i say so." I placed my hand on my cheek and i could feel tears staring to build up in my eyes but i just continued running.

*Damien at age 16*
I had gotten used to my grandfather's training and rarely left his house, i cut off all contact with any friends i had and only focused on getting more powerful. I was ready to take over the business by now but i had to wait until i was of age. My grandfather was very pleased of what he had created. He had created the a cold hearted beast within me and he couldn't be happier.

"There is one last thing that you must do before we can continue further on." He said as we walked towards the underground cellar.

"Kill this man, he has been selling children through the black market and he stole 10 kilos of our drugs." I was handed a small sleek pistol and at that moment my heart began to beat an ungodly rhythm. I aimed my pistol and shot the gun without thinking. My first kill.

"Excellent Damien, you know you're moving faster than expected. Even your father couldn't get himself to kill someone until he was 18, but even then he got soft for your mother. You make me proud Damien."

"It doesn't matter if my father got to my level or not, what matters is that im getting closer to taking over the business." I said coldly and put the gun in my pocket.

*a couple months after meeting Angelica*

"Damien just forget about her already can't you see she's holding you back." My grandfather protested

"Im not giving up on her so if there's anything you have to say to me regarding her then leave." I gritted and he stormed out of the room while slamming the door shut. This women is doing a number on me and I've only seen her once, i cant stop. Not now and not ever.

"DAMIEN WAKE UP PLEASE!!"

I quickly stood up and looked around, i saw Angelica with small tears streaming down her face. Her arms were wrapped around me as she looked into my eyes.

"Oh thank god you're awake, don't ever scare me like that ever again." Angelica said as she hugged me tighter, i gentle wrapped my arms around her and kissed her forehead.

"It's just a dream sweetheart." She said, if only it was true.

"It wasn't a dream." I whispered hoping she wouldn't hear. She let go and looked into my eyes, with sadness and love in them.

"I know you don't feel comfortable but please Damien tell me what happened." Angelica held my hands in hers, i took a deep breath and gave her a small kiss and told her my story.

After i finished my eyes betrayed me and tears started to fall, Angelica held me close in her arms as i let all my emotions out.

"It's okay im here for you." She said and i couldn't be happier to have her by my side. Angelica held me throughout the whole night and i slept peacefully, in her arms.

*the next day*

"HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO DAMIEN, YOUR OWN GRANDCHILD!!" I woke up because of the yelling and looked around, Angelica was nowhere to be found. I raced out of bed and left our room then going down the flights of stairs, i found my grandfather and Angelica arguing but everything died down once i got there.

"Oh good Damiens here, im hoping you can talk some sense into this women." He said while fixing his collar, i wrapped my hands around Angelica and kissed her forehead.

"What happened Angel." I asked and she just looked at me with eyes of pure anger and noticed her right cheek was red.

"What happened was your grandfather and i had an argument, i asked him why would he do that to you and all he said was he is proud of what he did which made me get angrier." She said and turned back around to look at him.

"I simply did what was needed and you deserved that slap, you should know your place in this family." With his last words it send me fuming, he slapped my angel. He tinted her perfect face.

"AND WHAT GIVES YOU THE RIGHT TO SLAP MY WOMEN, I SHOULD SHOOT YOUR HAND THIS INSTANT!!" I yelled as i grabbed his shirt.

"Do what you want to this old bastard, my job here is done." He said and i let go of his collar.

"Don't even think of returning unless its to make up for what you did." I said and went back to Angelicas side, he scoffed and returned back upstairs.

"Are you alright angel, does it hurt." I asked and all she gave me was the warmest smile and a small kiss on the cheek.

"At least its over now."
