A Glimpse into Damien’s Past Pt.1

Damien's POV [21 years ago] Jeanette's Past Dilemma

_____________

"No more Catatonic reactions Damien… ",my father spoke.

"I know, but it's not something I can control", I spoke.

"I won't be so rough anymore, seeing you in that state hurts me deeply", his father spoke.

My father looked at my shaking hand "I'll satisfy you in a minute".

Damien held his hand down "That's not what it is-

"You can't lie to me Damien",my father gently pushed me onto the bed, and for around the one hundredth time he did what he always did.

He smoked another pack of cigarettes and stared at me as I was still flipped over, panting.

My father stared at me after putting his cigarette out on his ashtray "One of my business partners wants to give me about eight million dollars for marrying your sister."

I looked at him confused "Oh."

He looked at me with his cold blue eyes "You have the body of a Greek god Damien."

I ignored him and finally stood up "Jeanette doesn't need to get married she's 18"

"Well, she'll listen to me, but besides that Damien, who was that girl next to you in the hospital?"

"Just a friend, father".

"I don't buy it,Damien".

"She's married, father so you should."

"Married women still cheat, Damien",father gave me a glare.

"Yes father, I understand ", I spoke.

Father finally stood up getting dressed in a suit and tie "No, no Damien, get dressed in a suit and tie, Jeanette is meeting him today."

"Father I-"

"That's enough, you weren't even allowed to talk to your half-siblings anyways, but I let you break the rule now you just have some mutual affection towards them, even though Samuel despises you."

I remained quiet as I followed behind father heading down the stairs. As he walked in front of me he extended his arm out behind him, his eyes still drawn to Jeanette standing near the bottom of the stair case. I knew he wanted me to hold his hand, I hesitated but I squeezed it firmly.

"Jeanette,darling?", father gave her that cold stare.

"Yes, Father?", she asked.

"I need you to be a good daughter and do as I say… do you understand?"

She looked at me for verification, I shook my head no.

She hesitated "Um, Yes, Father."

My father had body guards almost everywhere since he was the CEO of one of the largest textile manufacturer companies in the world. The guards opened the large doors to the dining hall. Father finally let go of my hand, "Eli! Good to see you", father gave Eli a short hug then he pointed over my shoulder "This is my daughter, Jeanette."

Eli was the CEO of a pharmaceutical company targeting the parents of young children. He had silver grey hair, he was about fifty-seven years old though he took good care of himself. Eli kept his eyes fixed on Jeanette, she bowed as father had taught her and spoke with no fear "Jeanette Kingsley."

He offered his hand and without hesitation she took it, they began walking the other way. Jeanette then stopped in her tracks and looked at father for advice.

"I'm sending you off to sleep with him Jeanette", he picked up a cigarette.

As soon as I heard those words come out from his mouth I saw the look of horror in her face . I then fell on my knees "Father, please".

"Not now, Damien!", he muttered.

My father continued "I will reward you, Jeanette, I promise. I then heard my father whisper to her "Do you still have your virginity?"

"Yes, father", she bowed her head.

"Good girl", he smiled.

She then nodded and gave me a look before holding Eli's hand and heading into one of many vacant rooms. His body guards stood outside the room, father almost slapped me "Damien, do not interfere with business , how many times do I have to tell you that?"

"Father, please, she's too young for marriage I'll do anything you want."

Father's immediate response was "Stop seeing that girl."

We both gave each other a glare "No, but-, I started to whisper "Wouldn't you like to toss me around like a rag doll?"

Father chuckled "You would have to do more than that, but I don't mind that idea."

I did what I had to do for Jeanette, though she was only my half sister I had grown fond of her the several times we talked and sneaked letters to each other. A few hours later father and I came back to the rooms by the dining hall, Jeanette and Eli had come out. Jeanette looked drained, her face was red. Eli pulled out his checkbook from his pocket "How much for her?"

My father sat down at the dining room table "Do you mean how much to marry her?"

Eli chuckled "No, I want her for myself, eventually I'll marry her but I am quite fond of her."

I gave my father a side eye as I stood behind his chair and stared at Jeanette to see if she was okay. She looked as if she might cry. My father cracked his neck "How much?"

I glared at him, Eli smiled "16 million, if that doesn't satisfy you I'll raise the amount in private."

"Deal", father stood up and shook Eli's hand.

"I'll pick you up tomorrow during noon, I'll have my guards pack your stuff for you in the morning."

"Okay, I love you", Jeanette smiled.

Eli looked surprised, he walked closer to her and lifted up her chin before he kissed her goodbye "I love you too."

My father then looked at Eli "What about your Son and Wife?"

"My Wife and I are separated, my son is fine, he's almost grown anyways, like yours", Eli spoke.

I scoffed and walked the other way, my father had lied to me. My father watched me walk away then hugged my sister"I'm proud of you, Jeanette, I really am", that was the first time she heard those words from him "Thank you, father", she hugged him back tightly. He then pushed her away gently "Pack your valuables and his men will do the rest for you, I'll put some of the money in your account okay?"

"Okay, father."

Father caught up to me as I was all the way down the hall. He then pushed me against the wall aggressively "You have no right to run away from me, Damien!"

He aggressively put his tongue in my mouth, I tried pulling away but he held on to my face in a rough matter. He finally let go of me "He didn't say anything about wanting to marry her now, so I agreed."

I remained quiet and walked away from him once more this time he didn't stop me.

I then tried my best to sleep that night thinking of Jeanette, then suddenly a knock at my door. Jeanette looked at me with a straight face then she hugged me and started crying "I can't breathe", she repeated. I hugged her in his bed until she caught her breath "I broke up with my boyfriend today, he didn't quite understand it but it broke my fucking heart Damien. I didn't expect to loose my virginity today so I've been so emotional. Eli was gentle but I still feel so…

"Violated?", I asked.

She nodded while she wiped her tears "I know you tried to help but he finally felt proud of me Damien that's all I ever wanted."

"I know, it's okay."

"The worst thing about it is that my body's starting to crave his touch, and I'm leaving every thing I've ever known to stay with him."

"Desensitization is key, Jeanette."

She had already fallen asleep on my chest, I had fallen asleep a few minutes after texting Lynn.

I woke up too late, as Jeanette was no longer in my bed and her room appeared empty. I cried silently a bit before father occupied my time.

I didn't get to talk to her until four weeks later, she appeared different. Her brunette hair had grew longer and she had worn expensive clothes and jewelry, she had even seemed more in love with Eli.

She had Eli distract my father a bit so she could talk to me . She then pulled something out of her pocket "I'm pregnant." We both sat on the bed as she laid on my shoulder, "This was unexpected."

I looked at her "Did you tell Eli yet?"

"No, I'm scared of his reaction", she sighed.

"I'll come with you."

"Thanks Damien."

We headed over to the dining room where she had sat over with Eli and I had sat over by father, she had faced Eli and took a deep breath "Whatever you want to do about this, I'll do it."

He looked confused then she handed him the pregnancy test, he smiled then kissed her several times "Amazing."

"Our baby, could be the face of the company!", he exclaimed.

Jeanette giggled a bit "If you would like that."

He hugged her then kissed her again "Dorian, I love her so much."

I haven't heard my Fathers name in a while so it caught me off guard "I'll pay you a disclosed amount in a few months."

My father hugged Jeanette goodbye and shook Eli's hand.

We closed the door and locked it.

My father then smoked another cigarette "Damien?"

"Yes, father."

"Where's your brother?"

"I wouldn't know, you don't allow me to talk to him nor does he want to talk to me."

"That's the answer I was looking for."

He proceeded to drop his cigarette and press me against the wall, it was unusual for him to be this gentle, maybe he was actually sad about my sister leaving. My brother finally came home , my father started to get more aggressive as sexual acts continued. Samuel watched as father finished inside me then father looked at Samuel "Where were you?"

"Practice."

"Mm", my father pulled out another cigarette and zipped his pants, Samuel grabbed the lighter from my fathers pocket and lit his cigarette. "Thanks", my father muttered. I pulled my pants up and headed back to my room, "Damien, you're sleeping in my room today", father yelled.

I nodded. Samuel glared at me "Father, I may have gotten someone pregnant."

My father's single response was "Let Damien handle it, he knows what to do."

Samuel yelled at father "Why would Damien handle it, I'm asking you to!"

Father scoffed "I wouldn't concern my self with mediocre things such as your personal life, Damien knows what to do with these things."

Samuel let out a dry chuckle "This is the reason Father! This is the reason I'm never home and always drinking because you don't care, all you want to do is fuck and praise Damien for anything and everything, fuck you."

Father laughed "Then go ahead and raise that baby with her, or pay child support out of your own pocket, but I will rid you of the family name."

Samuel looked at me "Show me how."

1 Year later

"This is fucking scandalous! I knew there was something wrong with that man", I yelled throwing the newspaper at my father.

My father smiled " I knew Eli was one of those men, who believed all publicity is good publicity."

"So you don't care that your daughter is on adult porn sites now thanks to some leaked homemade porn tape", I asked.

He chuckled "Listen, Damien, I'm also one of those men who believe all publicity is good publicity."

"It's the fact she still loves him despite that, I'm glad their son is doing well though but hopefully she's coping well", I commented.

"Yeah, I hope so too."

1 year after

———//——

"What the fuck do I do father?", she cried hysterically.

"He's dead… he fucking dead, the cancer spread too fast, Jeanette cried.

My Father looked at her "Marry his son, his adult son to keep the company a float."

"I… I can't", she cried.

"I only loved Eli", she continued.

"If you want to keep yourself happy, and provide him the best possible life you'll do it", my father gave her a serious stare.

I looked at Jeanette as we sat in father's office "You don't have to do it, I'll try to help you, I don't want you to wallow in a loveless marriage for your son", I responded.

She held an infant Noah in her hands "Okay, I'll marry Eli's heir to the company, we'll raise him like Noah is his own."

Present Day

I woke up in night sweats, it had been ten years since I had a vivid memory of those days. I scared Alice, but I turned over to her and in a moment of weakness I held her belly "I love you." I spoke with drowsiness "I love you too", she smiled.
