Chapter 11: Damon

My time here is limited and I know that I have to do things that will make me happy for the time being before they war between me and my remaining family members commence, I wanted to stay hidden forever but I know that I can't keep hiding, there will come a time when my brother must surely find me, he might even know where I am right now but still decide to keep me alive for personal reasons.

He has many followers working for him around the City even though that I am not in the same city with him I still believe that his followers are all around here maybe watching me actually checking out every step I make, I have to prepare myself and get ready before the battle start, I don't think that I can hide any longer, I have to start preparing myself for the calamity ahead not hiding. that was all I thought inside my tiny mind before deciding to come out for this lecture.

I haven't been going to any lately even my roommates John and Chris doesn't know much about me yet I suspect them that they might also be working with my brother, in fact everyone is a suspect around me even the new girl I just start having feelings for Cleopatra but that wouldn't make me to stay indoor any longer without making any effort to fight for my well being.

I came to the lecture much earlier than any other student taking the history class, few of them who saw me when they came in was looking at me like a new guy who just enrolled into the university not knowing that I might have been here for more longer than them. I sat at the back of the class almost at the extreme beside the wall so that Cleopatra can't see me. the last time I came to this history lecture, I remember seeing her but both of us have nothing in common then so I have nothing to speak with her though I kind of admire her beauty then but I wasn't here for relationship I was here to hide far away from my brother and mother.

Cleopatra being the closest one to me right now makes me to watch her more closely because it seems like she doesn't get along with most of the students she might be a spy for my brother so I have to bring her much more closer, there is a saying that the devil you know is far much more better than the Angel you don't know, you have to bring your friends close and your enemies closer so you can possibly find out when they are trying to stab you behind your back.

I sat at the back extreme till the lectures were over that's when I decided to go meet her, she was wearing a charcoal black short gown with some footwear that blended with her dressing, she was already packing her stuffs when I came to her, she seems surprised when she saw me like she never knew that I was also a history student maybe she haven't seen me here before and she is not supposed to because I never come to lectures, I decided to come here just to come and see her and watch over her activities.

I am not a stalker but this is mine life that we are talking about right now I have to do everything I can to keep myself safe from danger. after having a beautiful moment with her we decided to leave the classroom and go back to our hostel because today's lessons we are over, it was already 3:30 p.m. in the afternoon, the sun was much brighter today that you can even feel much heat on your skin because of the rays of the sun. " Cleo ", I had someone call her from behind both of us turned around to see who was calling her.

It was a man on a suit who seems to be at his late 50s, he was quiet fat because of the way they suit stretched around his body, he had a bald hair and was also covering his eyes with a transparent eyeglass, there was a car park behind him, I think that he just came out from that car. things began to look more suspicious right now, was this a plan between the Man and her, if it was that means someone must be around also spying on us, I just pretended to look around the environment that we are on and I saw someone who seems to be looking at us from the 3 story building 10 m away from us, he hid himself immediately my eyes made contact with his.

Something is really wrong right now, I now believe that Cleopatra might be working for my brother, maybe the man that stopped her right now might also be one of them, to make things less awkward I decided to wait for her to finish speaking with the man she was with, I look back at the spot where I saw someone spying on us and he was gone from there or can I say hiding where I can't see him.

I don't have to run from Cleopatra, I have to use her to know where my brother is but Wait a minute what if my instinct you are wrong that I am accusing Cleopatra about what you knows nothing about, what if all this was just a coincidence. I think all I have to do is just stand on my guard and stay calm watching as things go on. " shall we ", Cleo ask me as she held my hand so that we could continue going forward, she got a smile on her face much wider than she already had when we come out from the lecture hall.

" Anyone you know ", I asked her concerning the man she just had a conversation with, " my uncle, don't you know him? " she asked me, how can I know him when I haven't met with him before, I didn't ask her that but I just waved my head negatively showing her the sign that I don't know him, I was looking at her eyeball to eyeball waiting for her to give me an explanation, she seems to understand why I was staring so she started explaining to me about him. " he is the owner of the school.

I have been living with him since my parents died, I just decided to come live at the hostel because I don't feel comfortable living with him under the same roof anymore, he was never in support of my decision so he has always trying to make me change my mind and come live with him, I know that you want what's best for me but it's just that I am no longer comfortable sticking around him any longer and there was also another reason why I departed from that area where his house was located but that is a personal reason I am not comfortable enough to share it with you right now but I believe the time shall come when you will get to know the reason ".

" What's up bro seems like we are not completed in the room, another roommate has been assigned to us we are now four in number ", Chris said to me, he was just standing outside the hallway with both of his elbows placed on top of the banister. I just gave him a handshake as a greeting then went inside the room seeing John speaking with the new housemate or roommate actually because here wasn't big enough to be called a house, if I am not mistaken is probably a house also.

I don't like this new guy that I'm seeing right now something in me tells me so, wait a minute this was the guy I saw spying on us from that 3 storey building I can tell by the clothes he wore though I don't remember his face but his physiques tell me so. this guy is really the spy sent to look after me, " what's up bro this is Derek, Derek this is Damon our mystery roommate " John said laughing as I just gave them a smile. " welcome Derek pleased to meet you ", I gave him a handshake as I dropped my bag and left the room. I think it has already started it's now a game on for both me and my brother, seems like it's time to start gathering my own followers because things are definitely going to turn dirty.

I don't have to go back to the city to have a struggle with my brother but I think this is the perfect spot for me to fight against him, he hasn't been officially accepted as my father's replacement as the mafia Lord yet, so I think it's time for me to take back what rightfully belongs to me, the role that my father has decided for me to take charge on.
