Chapter 58
"The story doesn't add up, how can Dawn be his daughter but Olivia is not his daughter."
"It will only mean that her mother probably cheated or something because if we do the DNA we can..."
"So these here isn't even certain, this is just a guess work."
"Mr Gonzales slept with Dawn's mother and..."
"I will look into it," Damien reassured him and truly he was going to look into it, all he had to do was get the DNA done. It was a long shot but he was willing to do it for Dawn's sake "Thank you for the information," Damien smiled at him. He rose to his feet and offered the man a handshake.
The man rose to his feet as well and gave Damien a handshake.
"I will be sending the balance immediately," Damien reassured him as they shook hands.
"I will appreciate that also you might want to look into her house maid, heard she is related to someone you know," the man added.
"Someone I know?" Damien replied.
"Klar."
"Klar?" Was he talking about Blaire because the only house help he knew about was Blaire and Blaire was brought into their house when she was really young, so it didn't make sense to him how the Klar would give their child to become a house help. "Are you sure of what you are saying?"
"Yes, I am sure," the man replied as he let go of Damien's hand.
"Thank you," Damien appreciated as the man walked out leaving him and his bodyguard. "Kill him." Damien told his bodyguard who nodded getting the hint.
Such kind of information was best kept a secret, it seemed the more he looked into Dawn the more certain things were popping up that didn't make any sense to him.
After Dawn was done eating she packed the plate and dropped it on the table staring at Sarah, Stephan and Matteo had left the both of them half way to go and attend to some business.
"Did Stephan really send you that amount of money?" Sarah asked. She had been thinking about it for somewhile and found it odd that Stephan would send her money. Ofcourse Stephan could give someone money but that amount of money. Was it for the baby? If it was for the baby, was he saying he wanted the baby as well.
"Yes he did but I honestly don't want it," Dawn replied.
"Well you will return it but not immediately," Sarah informed. "The last thing you want is him sending double of the money back."
"Really?"
"Really," Sarah replied knowing Stephan was capable of doing something like that without thinking about it.
Dawn was about to say something when her phone beeped in her pocket, it was Blaire.
"Is everything alright?"
"Mr Damien is here and he is insisting on talking to you about something important," Blaire replied.
"Tell him I am not interested in anything that would involve him."
"I already did but he is saying it has to do with your real father."
"My real father?" Dawn asked still not understanding what Damien meant by that, her father was dead so what was he talking about? The last thing she needed right now was to see Damien, she didn't want to see him or have any conversation with him not after all that had happened between them.
The last time she had saw him, was a long time ago in a restaurant. Images of Jerome trying to force himself on her had popped up in her head. He was dead but that day still haunted her. She still wondered how Damien had thought about that plan and even if he didn't think about it how could he have agreed to it.
They never spoke since that day and now he showed up with some father story.
"Keep him outside till I get there," Dawn ordered cutting the call as she rose to her feet. "I have to go."
"What is going on? Who was that?" Sarah asked also rising to her feet.
"Was that Damien? You are going to see Damien?" Sarah questioned. "Are you out of your mind?"
"It's not what you think, he has something important to tell me."
"Then I am coming with you," Sarah replied grabbing her bag beside her.
"Very well," Dawn agreed not wanting to prolong the issue as she also felt safe with Sarah being there with her incase Damien tried anything funny.
They headed to the elevator and out of the building, Sarah decided to tag along with Dawn as she informed her driver to take a break for the main time.
"So what was it he wanted to talk about?" Sarah asked while Dawn drove them back to her house. She didn't know Damien well enough but the few times she had met him, he seemed obsessed with Dawn and his kind of obsession seemed dangerous and toxic.
He had proven the toxic part when he connived with his own brother to kidnap Dawn, what was he thinking at that period? She had instantly developed a level of hatred for him.
"He was saying something about my father."
"Your father is dead."
"He said my real father, I am confused as well and that was why I decided to at least hear him out."
"I feel he is up to no good."
"Maybe," Dawn replied trying to figure out what Damien might want to tell her about her father but nothing was coming to mind. Her father had died and with his death came nothing really, they all just moved on with life.
She turned the car into her street and spotted Damien outside her house standing next to his car, she had barely packed the car when Sarah reached for the door handle and opened the door.
"What do you want?" She heard Sarah asking him as she highlighted from the car to catch up with her.
"Dawn," Damien called out to her. The last thing he needed right now was extra company, he had thought Dawn was coming back alone.
"I am listening to you," Dawn replied.
"It is about your father."
"What about him?"
"Do you really want me to discuss about him in front of her? I mean the information is quite sensitive."
Dawn stared at Sarah and then at Damien.
"Can you please excuse us for..."
"I will stay by the car watching you both," Sarah cut in staring at Damien as she walked back to the car staring at them. If anything was to go wrong she wasn't going to spare Damien.
"How have you been?" Damien asked Dawn, she looked a bit skinny. Was she not eating well? He wondered if it had anything to do with her leaving Stephan's house. He was glad that she finally saw Stephan for the heartless man he was. While he had been waiting for Dawn he had tried to interrogate Blaire a bit and see what he could get out of her but she seemed useless or was just playing daft.
"I am doing well, what was it you wanted to tell me?"

"I know our last encounter wasn't good but..."
"I thought you said it was about my father?"
"Dawn," Damien muttered reaching out to touch her hand.
"Please don't," Dawn pleaded.
"I am sorry for how things turned out between us but you of all people should know that I would never hurt you." Damien confessed and he meant that, he loved Dawn, he cared about her, all her ever wanted was her to love him back the way she used to and more but he had messed up big time.
He knew it would take a while for Dawn to forgive him but he was willing to be patient with her, to prove to her that he was still here for her always.
"I was trying to protect you, I thought you..."
"You thought wrong," Dawn cut in. Maybe Damien really was looking out for her but the manner of approach to the situation had been wrong and very dangerous. Worst it cost him the life of his brother. "I can't just wake up one morning and forgive you."
"I am not asking you to forgive me instantly, I am only making you understand where I stand in all of these and how sorry I am." "Alright."
"About your father, there might be more to it than you think. Some Gonzales seem to have some connections with you." "Gonzales?"
"If it is what I am thinking then you need to trust me."
"Trust?" Dawn chuckled not believing he was actually saying that nonsense right now.
"You are not safe."
"You know I actually thought that you had something reasonable to say but I can clearly see that you don't have anything reason..." Dawn muttered as Damien leaned in and placed a kiss on her lips taking the words out of her mouth.

When Stephan and Matteo came back to the office they were informed that the two stubborn women had gone out, he wondered where they had gone to and remembered he had cameras in his office.
He rewinded the videos and he listened to Dawn talking about meeting up with Damien, what did that mean? Was that why she had easily moved on? Because she was seeing Damien.
"I will go and..."
