CHAPTER 10

DAMIEN'S POV 

I stared at the girl as she looked between the both of us. Her brown eyes were flooded with confusion. Her black hair looked silky, I was suddenly tempted to run my hand along just to feel how it was. Her skin appeared really smooth. 

*Who in the world is this*

Her gaze suddenly rested on me. 

"You two haven't been properly introduced. Mallory this is my twin brother Damien and Damien our new partner Mallory." 

Damon said from behind us. The idiot was happily watching the show. One thing my brother loves in this whole world is taunting Titi and I. I turned to Mallory, her cheeks were red. I couldn't blame her thinking of the fact that she just hugged a total stranger does sit in deep. I smirked.

"I didn't... know you were Damon's twin. He didn't tell me." 

She said and gave Damon a look which he returned with an annoying smile. She rolled her eyes and turned to me stretching out her hand. I took it and marveled at how soft it was.

"So Mallory you deal with prostitution?" 

I asked giving her a once-over. She shook her head and her lips curved to a deep frown. 

"No I don't. Scumbag." 

She blurted. My eyebrows rose so high they could reach my hairline. 

"Calm down Mallory, come on I'll have a maid bring you to your room...Lana!" 

"Yes sir."

Lana scurried into the room. Mallory's gaze was still on me not breaking even once. This girl's confidence was not only pricking my amusement but doing funny things to my chest. I could hear my own heartbeat.

"Please take this beautiful lady to her room. The one which was specially prepared for her." 

Damon emphasized on the room thing. Mallory finally broke our stare down. She followed Lana. My eyes didn't leave her till she disappeared into the hallway. I heard Damon laugh behind me.

"Bro, you are as dumb as ever. Do you seriously think all girls love pretty boys like you?" 

"It's funny that you talk like that because we technically have the same face minus the scar."

Damon shrugged unamused. 

"Tell me the latest. What happened while I was away?" 

Damon said and walked to the couch. He plopped down onto it and rest his feet on the coffee table. 

"Nothing much happened while you were away."

I said and took a position opposite him. I pulled a cigar out of my pocket and lit it. 

"You mean, no girls, no booze, nothing?" 

"Not in this house at least." 

I mummured but Damon heard anyways.

"You mean you did bang some chicks but not in my house?" 

"If you put it that way yes."

Damon tried to bite back a grin.

"Where the hell is that other bastard?"

I knew he was talking about Titi.

"He had some work to settle in Tokyo." 

"Okay."

"Uh...about that girl. How did you meet her?"

"Well... I found myself at her doorstep in the middle of the night." 

My eyes grew twice their size.

"You expect me to believe that? I mean the Damon Lucian I know will never be at a girls doorstep at any time. Tell me the truth." 

"I was caught up in a cross fire with Andre and I got shot. I fled from the scene and passed out in her backyard. I woke up on her couch. Turns out she treated my wound." 

I blinked several times.

"So you took her under your wing cuz she saved you." 

"She asked for a favor from me." 

"And what was that?" 

"To avenge her mom Elora Levine by maiden name." 

"I've heard that somewhere." 

"That is the same thing I said." 

I studied Damon as he took out his phone and started scrolling through.

"Stop looking at me idiot." 

I rolled my eyes and puffed out a little bit of smoke. 

"Tomorrow we are going to meet up with Honey." 

I sighed.

"What does he want now?" 

"I don't know. He said he'll give us a new packet or something." 

"Is the girl tagging along?" 

"Yes. You should probably tell her and apologize for calling her a hoe."

"I didn't...you know what? Let it slide."

I stood up and made my way towards her room.
