Sacrifice

Damien couldn't sleep all night with the thought of his daughter with Noah, he had even checked to see where she was sleeping before bed, he kept wondering if she was still there, in her own room. He looked up at his ceiling and instantly a thought came to into his head. Damien had instantly thought about a plan to set his foot down. But he thought about Lenè's feelings but easy enough she always forgave anything he had done.

He then decided what had have to happen for him to regain control, he looked at his trembling hand then sighed as he turned off his lamp.

Damien woke up to the sound of knocks on his door. "Come in, it's open, love".

Damien cleared his throat. Damien's eyes widened, "I bought you breakfast, Father".

He sat up in bed stunned by Lenè's beauty, her skin had glowed in the sunlight, her curly hair was no longer tied up, and her night gown was a long white dress.

Damien's eyes followed her. "Thank you, Lenè", Damien smiled once his food was in his hands.

Lenè sat beside him but on the edge of the bed. She looked at him "I didn't want you to get out of bed but your breakfast was getting cold and I-"

Damien grabbed Lenè's chin "I like your hair like that Lenè ".

Lenè starting patting her hair frantically "I- I- forgot my hair tie!"

Damien set his food aside on his night stand then grabbed Lenè's arms holding her against his body. "Lenè, we didn't finish what we started".

She froze, she didn't bother to fight him.

"Did you feel the same way in the hotel room towards me that I felt towards you, Lenè".

She had blushed a bit while looking away from Damien. She then heard Raya call for her in the hallway.

"I should go", she tried to shift her gaze away from Damien.

"Fine, then, be on your way then, and I don't want you wearing those undergarments".

"Yes, Father", she whispered.

Raya found her way to Damien's room and hugged Lenè as she stood at the front door.

Raya stared at Damien then looked back at Lenè "What were you doing here?", she sounded curious but ready to pick a fight.

"I was just giving him breakfast that's all", Lenè responded.

"Are you sure you weren't giving him anything else?", she looked Lenè in the eyes.

Damien overheard and clenched his fists as he seethed. He grabbed his breakfast from his nightstand and starting eating it.

"Thank you for the breakfast Lenè, kindly shut my door on the way out".

Damien had finished eating his breakfast he took a deep breath and shattered his plate by throwing it on the wall Damien finally got out of bed and put on a suit and tie, he put on a tie to meet his guest.

Damien left his room , he walked past the kitchen where everyone stood talking with each other. His sister, his brother, Noah, his sisters son and his brother-in-law, Lenè stood there with Raya as the other children sat in the living room playing games. Damien grabbed Raya and threw her over his shoulder. The sounds of laughter and conversation had stopped. "Damien, what are you doing?", his sister had asked.

"None of your concern",he spoke.

Damien had opened the door to see a man there with body guards with some sort of veil behind his head.

"How much", he asked with a thick accent".

"One-hundred thousand".

"Here", he handed Damien a suitcase of cash.

Damien felt Raya dig her fingers into his suit.

"What are you doing?!", Lenè yelled as she ran to the door.

Noah held Lenè back for her own safety as he peaked at the body guards.

Damien pulled Raya off his back then pushed her to the strange man "Enjoy being treated like Royalty", he spoke to Raya.

"No...No!", Raya kicked and screamed yelling for Lenè to save her. Lenè cried out for Raya until her screams turned silent She tried pleading with Damien but Damien had ignored her pleas . Damien shut the door, and took a deep breath.

Lenè cried into Noah's arms, Damien's sister was in shock but stayed silent exchanging a look between her husband.

Noah looked at Damien "How could you do that to your own daughter?!!"

"Adopted Daughter", Damien corrected him.

Lenè walked to Damien and whispered something in his ear and in one instant he slapped her.

Noah ran to her aid immediately. Lenè started crying intensely.

Damien stared at Lenè "Don't ever say something like that to me again, I couldn't take care of that girl that's why she's gone".

The children stared at their Father in disbelief, they thought they were loved by Damien but that love they received seemed to come into question.
