Leona Damon strode into the guest room - not bothering to knock . He had to make this meeting before leaving , and as he arranged his cuff , he felt the gun hidden in his suit pants . Most times , protection was needed when it came to Derinem He knew if it weren't for their father , one of them would have already been dead ; they were like two negative currents that shouldn't get close . He found Derinem cleaning a pistol with a small white cloth . Derinem looked at him , then back to cleaning the gun in his hand while facing the window . " Your pleasures didn't change , brother . Father should be happy in his grave ; thought you might have gotten bored after finding another hobby in stalking Maya . " " Neither did yours , " Derinem replied without turning . " What are you doing here ? " " I should ask you that question , but then because Father made us promise to accommodate each other whenever the want arose , that's the reason I'm not kicking you out . " Indeed , that was the last wish of their father before he died . Even after he separated them , he still hoped that somehow they would get along , but til his Leves closed in death , his wish stayed a wish . Derinem scoffed at the t of his brother brewing hate in him : " It's also the reason I haven't killed you . " " You're an excuse for a brother , " touching the cloth with oil and polishing the nuzzle . " Why are you here ? " Damon arranged his suit . " I have urgent business . " That got Derinem's attention ; he raised a brow and blew air into gun's cock . " You never said anything until now ? " " I didn't know I had to go until yesterday ; you were right ; my men were going secretly behind me . " Derinem stopped wondering if he should ask the following question ; he knew it would'spark a deadly quarrel , but he had to know , " So what happens to Maya ? " " She decides what happens to her , and so do you , " he grimaced , already getting worked up . " So you're leaving her behind then ? " He mocked . That Damon would let the girl go was just a fairytale of the mind . The bastard was a control freak and wouldn't mind killing as long as it gave him ultimate control . " I have no choice , but I can't drag her around to the US ; it's much too dangerous . " " Coming from someone who made her watch you kill , Rich , and aren't you afraid I'll steal her before you get back ? " " She knows better , and so do you , and I trust you anyway , Derinem . I bet you will want to keep her safe by staying away from her , won't you ? " His tone suggested a lot of things . " Will it help ? " Derinem stopped and turned . " I stayed away from Leona , and you still killed her . It's wild what you do with your power . " " Leona was a mistake " " Don't shit with me . " Derinem sneered , " You know where it's the funniest ? She loved you so much ; I was disgusted she would go for you , and that night the only reason she was there was to beg me to find you . " " Leona was a fucking mistake ! " " You keep making yourself believe that , don't you ? Let me tell you the story as I remembered it , not how your messed - up memories tell you to " " We grew up together even though she was just an ordinary daughter of a maid after mom's accident , she always wanted to be there for you , but guess how you repaid her " 1/2 Leona +25 BONUS " Stop narrating ! " Damon had heard enough . One feeling he hated in the world was guilt , and just like love , he wanted to kill them completely . His brother ignored him , " You saw we were together , and maybe your sick mind wanted her only for yourself , you didn't love her , you were just obsessed with her ; that I had feelings for her made you thrilled with inflicting pain on her , didn't you ? " " I loved Leona ; you don't know the half of it . " Then he leaned close , his face an inch from Derinem's . " And if you think you don't share the blame for what happened to Leona that night , then you have to be joking . " Derinem shook his head ; he expected that line from Damon ; the guy went so low : " For years that was what you made me believe , that it was my fault , if I had only stayed away from her if I had only let her go if I had only ignored her knocks at my door that night and I believed you , I blamed myself ... Damon walked to the door , " As you should . " " That's where you're wrong , brother ; just because you named a bar after her doesn't make you automatically guiltless and entitled to pass the blame . " " I didn't come to argue with you , Derinem . I came to tell you I'm leaving everything in your care till I'm back ; at least make yourself useful while here , " he mocked . " Maya , too ; it's all up to you to keep her safe from me , just like it was all up to you to keep Leona alive . " Derinem chuckled faintly . " What happened six years ago is going to happen again . " " Maya isn't Leona ; Maya is different . " " But you're not ; you're still obsessive , and you so badly want to possess . " He shrugged as he went out . " Then , if anything happens to her , it won't be my fault . " The door jammed shut . Derinem sighed ; another miracle had occurred : they stayed in the same room without killing each other . But no matter how badly Damon behaved , he was bound by an oath to his father to always be there for him . He exhaled deeply . Maya didn't know what she had done choosing to stay with Damon . Damon , who was trigger - happy . Their late father always defended him , blaming everything he did on the fact that he had a traumatic childhood . But so did Maria , and Maria didn't want to kill anybody . The president's son was a mistake , and he saw the regret in her eyes every day . He placed the gun on the bed and sat beside it in the silent room . But then he had to stay away from Maya ; he had enough guilt on his hands already . Leona . Poor Leona . Leona , who only wanted to love but loved poorly , gave all but only got death . And that was what Maya was going for- innocent Maya , just like Leona . He went to the window . Down at the compound , Maya was hugging Damon . Derinem frowned . What was she doing , feigning sadness that Damon was leaving ? He looked closely when the door opened again , and Luca came in , " Damon is leaving . " He nodded , " I hear . He just left here , telling me he wants me to take over . Luca wasn't convinced as he pondered over what his boss told him . Everyone who knew Don Damon would be shocked too . Especially since Maya was around . " It doesn't seem right . I think he has an ulterior motive . " " Me too , " he turned back to look at Maya kissing Damon passionately , her hands around Damon's waist . He could almost taste the deja vu as he watched the car drive away with Damon and Lina escorting Maya back into the manor . It was happening again .
