AMAYA

CHAPTER 18

Amaya's pov

"I am sorry dad, I went to see my boyfriend" I explained to my dad who was damn furious about me sneaking off from my driver. I knew he would make a fuse about it. I spent the whole day with Damian the other. I found a lot of miscalls from my dad and I knew I was in deep shit.

"You could have least tell me about it, I got sick worried about you" He burst and I never knew he could be this angry. I just needed to calm him off.

"Dad, I am sorry" I said with a pleasing tone making him sigh with relief.

"Just don't do that again, I already told you that my enemies are after you. So next time don't just disappear it will kill me with anxiety attack" He then smiled and looked at me.

"You remind me so much of your mother, always stubborn and hard headed" I chuckled.

"Can I get her picture?" I asked dad. He looked a bit bothered by that question but quickly covered it with a smile.

"I know you want to see her face so bad but I barely have any memory of her. It has been a long time since the last day we saw each other and a lot has happened" I nodded my head in understanding.

"You know, what sweetheart, let me teach you something that you would like" I raised my eyebrows. "What?" He chuckled and grabbed my hand.

"Chess" my eyes widened. I heard about the chess game but I never thought I would play that game one day. In fact, I saw a chess board at Damian's apartment.

"I would love that dad" he chuckled. Once we arrived in his study, he went towards his shelf and pulled out a drawer. He took out the chess board and I smiled widely as he came and sat across me on the table at the corner.

"Now, listen carefully..." he explained step by step on how to play it and I listened to him attentively.

We played one game for my practice and I lost 5 times consecutively.

"Huhhh dad, I guess this is just not my thing" I pouted making him laugh.

"No princess, always remember a start is always hard" He had a point.

"I know sooner or later you will master this game. I need you to master this it will help you in the business world" My eyes widened at his statement.

"I know you have a lot of question in your head but believe me you will understand me someday sweetie" I smiled with a nod.

"Okay then, I need to grab a shower dad and I will join you for dinner later?" he nodded, and I kissed him on the cheek before I left.

Reaching my room, I couldn't help but feel so giddy and happy. I am so in love with Damian and he loves me too. My phone rang and damn! It was him calling. I received the call and I couldn't help but smile like an idiot.

"I miss you already baby" He said over the phone.

"I miss you too my love" I replied.

"I will come over to your apartment later, take care of yourself okay?" my eyes widened. No! No! i hadn't told him everything yet! I thought it was much better to not say anything for now until I get all my answers and in fact, I still didn't trust my own father yet.

"I shifted, I am staying over at Sarah's I will come over there instead" He chuckled.

"You did? How comes I am not aware of that?"

"I know, but after everything that happened I am just so scared if they kidnap me again" fuck I felt so miserable lying.

"Why don't you move in with me?" my eyes widened holly shit no!

"Can we talk about that when we see each other?" I asked and he agreed.

He blew me a kiss and I sighed with relief, now I needed to tell Sarah how to act along.

After quick shower I called Sarah and explained the situation to her, she told me it was better to let Damian know the truth. She reasoned out that Damian is a powerful man, if my dad was not who I thought he was then he can help me with that. She had a point, no matter how hard it was to open up to Damian, I guess I need his help and protection. I just hope my father isn't some sort of a mafia or so. I just had a bad feeling about it.

Hanging off the phone I went downstairs, the food was already served and I saw the maids passing here and there. This house was too big for just me and my dad, I was never used to this kind of life before.

"Your highness" I was startled as I head that voice, I turned to face the maid who always found it amusing to call me that no matter how much I tried to telling her that I don't want to be addressed that way.

"You again with that name" She just smiled.

"Dinner is served, Mr. Knight will join you shortly after the meeting" Meeting? What meeting?

"Where is the meeting held?" I asked but she didn't answer me.

"I am afraid, it's a private meeting" I rolled my eyes. She left, and I took that opportunity and started looking room after room searching for where the so called private meeting could be held.

I heard some noises like clicking of glasses coming from the 2nd floor. Got you! I climbed the stairs leading to the 2nd floor and I saw a hallway with rooms on each side. Wow this house is really huge.

I walked following the sound of people talking was being heard. I finally found the room. I placed my ear on the door to try to hear what was being talked about and I swear I couldn't hear anything damn it.

I sighed frustrated and annoyed, just when I was about to give up, I heard voices clearly.

"Amaya will be the next CEO of The Knight Enterprise, she is my daughter and my only heir. However for her to be more powerful, I will go ahead with the plans. She will have to marry Manuel's son" What? My heart stopped for a second. No! No! I cant marry someone I don't love.
