Lilly POV

“ I saw someone the night before I left, during the black out of that night !” I exclaimed.

As I suddenly remember the black-out that happened during the night I left.

“And just who did you see? ” He asked with a cold yet calm tone, his eyes fixed right on me, waiting for my answer.

I could tell right then that I had gotten this attention, and this was definitely my first and final chance to get a chance out of this mess.

If anyone could give me time to prove myself, it most certainly will be him.

“A man, I was trying to find Miss Sarah during the black-out, and then I noticed a human figure, certainly male, entering the former headroom. I thought it was him at first, but that person absolutely had a more youthful body,” I responded nervously as my heart beat raced.

“And you think that man was the one who could have killed the former head?”

“Yes, I think,” I muttered, as I avoided his gaze.

“And just how do you intend to find this mysterious man, or do you already suspect someone?” he questioned.

Well, the two other sons of the former head were both around that night, and they both coincidentally fit the body figure of the man I saw and suspect.

But how exactly am I going to tell this man that I suspect his two younger stepbrothers for the death of his father.

“ Are you going to talk or would you like to give up the chance and just accept whatever punishment is given to you?” he sneered, as he glared right at me with impatience.

Yeah, I better just tell him now, rather than face his wrath.

I just hope what I'm about to say doesn't get me killed.

“Well, the man had the same body stature with the former head other sons, and they were both present that night, sir,” I swiftly replied, my head facing right down instantly as I nervously awaited his reaction.

And then he laughed.

Did he just laugh? I raised my head a bit to peek, and his eyes caught mine as he then smirked.

“So you think one between the two of my brothers did this, huh, miss Lilly?” he questioned, his tone cold as the smirk instantly left his face.

“Yes, I think—maybe,” I muttered as my heart raced crazily as his eyes

Yeah, with the look on his face right now, I'm totally dead, aren't I.

“You do know you are now implying the head could have been killed by one of his sons, right?” he asked, his tone still cold.

Oh, shit, what the hell I'm going to say now, he really seems pissed off, and one more wrong word could really make everything over for me right now.

And then he suddenly laughed again, “well then I'm really curious just which of my brothers would dare kill my father, so I guess you would have to find that out,” he stated, his fixed right on mine as he smirked.

Wait? So he isn't going to finish me off now and actually going to give me a chance to find the real killer.

I might actually be able to get my life back then if I find the killer.

“ So you are not dealing with me right now, then?” I asked as I slowly raised my head, waiting for his response.

“ Yeah I'm not.”

“And you have only within the next six months to find this killer, whether it's my brother's as you suspect or someone else, I don't care just find the person or else, ”he stated, as his eyes went right back to being emotionless as he stared right at me.

Six months huh, I guess that should be enough time for me to find the real killer and get the hell out of the country for good this time, as for my college, I could just start during the summer.

“ I will, sir,” I responded.

“You can call me Damien, seeing, we both will be working together on this,” he gained as I froze at his words.

“What ?” I blurted right out.

Just what does he mean by working together on this?

“ That's right, Miss Lilly—?” he eyes, waiting for my response.

“Paige, that's my surname,” I responded swiftly.

“So it's really Paige huh that's interesting, well, from next week you will become the family personal secretary, and I will become your partner in this mission of yours you see,” he smiled, and I could just tell at that instant, that that smile was certainly not a friendly one.

“ But I haven't even gone to college yet, just how am I supposed to be a secretary?” I asked in a perplexed and polite tone as my eyes wandered trying to understand why.

“Well, you have a week to find how exactly you will be one, understood,” he replied with a sharp tone as his eyes stared right at mine.

“ I understand, but also just why do you want to assist me on this ?” I asked again curiously as I couldn't just tell what was in his head.

“ Because I am very curious to see exactly how the murderer of my father plans to prove her innocence, you see,” he replied.

So he basically still doesn't believe I'm not the killer and wants to keep an eye on me while I try to prove my innocence.

“ Well then I guess that's all settled all your questions then, so your things are here with you right?” he asked as he got up from his seat.

I was too stunned to speak as I stared right at his shirt tightly hugged his muscles, and showed his muscular figure, as he stood over me covering me with his intense height.

“Lilly,” his cold voice snapped back to reality.

“Yes, yes sir, my things are here with me,” I responded as I instantly removed my eyes from his body and I noticed his slight chuckle at my response.

“Good, now follow me,” he said as he walked right towards the door, and I followed right back.

We got out and Sam was still right outside.

“Sam, get Lilly here to her room and get her ready as she begins her new work next week as the family secretary,” Damien said as he suddenly faced me as smiled.

Okay, just why is he smiling at me right now.

And then he suddenly walked right to me as he closed the gap between us, hie breath lingering right in my face as I couldn't help but get flustered as he bent towards my ear.

His breath fanned my ears,“Now just why are you blushing miss killer, I'm quite sure I look nothing like your Brazilian future boyfriend right?”

Wait, did he just say Brazilian boyfriend? Just how did he even know about that?

And then it hit me, I definitely blurted that out when I was crazily pleading for my life.

Ahh, I can't believe this right now but just how did he hear that through all my rambling, jeez?

He smirked as he noticed my sudden abashed look on my face,“Well then do get ready Miss killer, so you can get that hot Brazilian man of yours soon huh.”

He walked right out, leaving me there totally feeling embarrassed. I can't believe I blurted out a deep secret of mine to that man without me knowing.

Yeah I'm certainly going btonhave to leave with that shame now huh?

Ahh! This is so embarrassing!!!
