Somewhere in NYC.
Damiem sat with Ally and Aston in his office room talking about designs that were stolen ,that were to be submitted to France delegates. It's was suppose to be a big collab between two big fashion houses .
'But that damn idiot secretary of his has given all the information to that duck-with-lip-that-can-give-parrots-a-tough-competition his PA.' Damien though and made a face , Ashton who was sitting next to him ,raised his brows at him questioningly. Damien nodded a no and keep working on his laptop.
"So, now what do we do now?" Ally voice her concern.
"We will find a way ,Al. Don't worry." Ashton said while looking at Damien.
"What is our next move? What's going on in that head of you? I know you won't leave them just like that after stealing such important documents." Ashton looked at Damien curiously.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Nothing is going on. We will have to just go with the backup plan that we had." He replied with a straight face still typing on his laptop.
Ashton got up from his seat and placed his hand on Damien's forehead , " What!? Are you okay? Demon himself is saying that he won't do anything after such a big incident? "
Damien pushed his hand away from his forehead and glared at him. "Yes, I am totally fine. And no ,I am not a devil to go around harming people!"
Ashton gasped dramatically and put a hand on his heart, " Who are you!? What the heck did you to my bestfriend!? Is he kidnapped by Mafia's?"
"Shut up you idiot!" Damien rolled his eyes.
Ally giggled and Damien's one glare shut her up.
"Al, did you tell our designers to check on the new summer collection that we where about to launch in few days?" Damien look at Ally and asked with a serious look.
"Yes, everything is ready. We just have to–"
"Send those dress designs to me now. They will be shown to bewitched fashion in our presentation for the new colab."
"WHAT!!?"
"WHY!?"
Both Ashton and Ally said at the same time.
"Do as I say. Trust me in this." He said looking at both of them in determination.
"But how are we going to do it?" Ashton voiced his concern.
"Leave it on me. I will handle it."Damien look at Ashton–determined.
"Just be careful. This whole thing doesn't look right. There has to be someone associated with it. We should have tried to at least search and find out about that person who was behind stealing." Ashton said with a worried look.
"Yes. I will.Now Ally, please send me the designs." Damien looked at Ashton one last time ,nodded and walked away.

"Did you get what I asked?" A man in dark black hoodie said in a very intimidating voice.
"Yes–yes boss."A voice replied.
"And is everything ready and prepared? I don't like incomplete work. You know that right?" The intimidating voice said and slowly bought a gun in front of that man's face.
"Ye–yes boss. Everything is done. They are just waiting for your signal." The man stammered and and slowly took two step back.
The man in dark black hoodie , who was sitting in the hood of his car, laugh–a laugh that was lethal ready for destruction.
"Damien Ryder, soon I will see your end."

.
Damien entered his penthouse whilst unbuttoning his suit.
He sighed and stared at the panoramic view from this glass window. His thoughts went to the thing that he had to do;not an easy task to find out about who is behind all of this. He rolled his sleeves and dialed a number.
"Hello?" a female voice answered.
"Alina, is John with you?" He ask while looking at the beautiful sunset from his penthouse window.
"Yes, sir. He is with me."
"Alina, what is the current report of the case? Did you both find any lead?" He asked, which rather meant you-better-answer-me-with-sothing-postive.
"Yes, boss–"Alina's voice was cutoff by a loud sound followed by a scream.
And then the line went dead.
Damien instantly that this is not anymore just a simple rivalry.
'He has to do something. He has to find out who is behind all of it.' He thought and quickly called the police and gave them the address of where John and Alina where working.
He run out of his penthouse , quickly sat on his car and speeded it toward the place.
He face red in anger and his knuckle turned white.
'He won't leave that bastard' .He thought and accelerated toward the spot.
.
.
.
Damien quickly got down from his car and reach the building, where John and Alina where working.Police has already arrived and could be seen doing investigation.
Half of the building was on fire. And firefighter can be seen trying to control the fire.
He run and tried to enter inside but was caught by ine of the policeman.
"Let me go! I need to know if they are okay!" Damien gritted his teeth in anger and glared at the policeman.
"Are you crazy!? Can't you see the building is on fire? Someone tried to blast this building!" Policeman pulled Damien out and glared at him.
"I NEED TO SEE IF THEY ARE OKAY!"Damien tried to go inside again but was stopped by the police commissioner.
"We understand you but you need to calm down. They are safe and both of them are admitted in the hospital."The commissioner said sternly and lead him outside.
Damien sat inside his car with a angry look and ran a hand throw his hair.
"Fuck!" He banged the steering wheel and cursed loudly.
'No, he won't let this happen. He has to do some thing but, before that, he has to find out how is John and Alina.' He though to himself and speed the car toward the hospital.
Entering the hospital he quickly got inside and soon was guided toward the operation theater.
Rushing in front of the doctor he asked him about there health. To which, the doctor replied that it was nothing too serious but still they can't give surety.
Damien slumped in one of the seats and gulped a lump. Hospital always makes him anxious and bring bad memory.
He felt like a failure. He though went to one of such incident that happened 4 years ago.
The incident that snatched all his happiness.
'No, No, NO! He can't thing of that incident right now. He need to concentrate of finding out who is behind all of this.' He thought to himself.
Suddenly he saw a worried looking Ashton and Ally walking toward him.
"Damien! Thank my lord you are okay. We were so worried! How is John? Is he okay? " Ashton looked anxiously.
"Yes, but doctor told that they sill can't give surety." He nodded and said.
"Hey, it not your fault." Ally keep her hand on Damien's shoulder and look and him with a soft smile.
Ally was always like a little sister to him. He knows that she can sense his inner turmoil in a minute.
He sighed and patted Ally's head and sat in one of the chair.
"I won't be there." He said out of no where.
"What? I didn't get you?" Ashton looked confused.
"I won't be there for the final interview for the selection of PA." He said looking blankly toward the wall.
"I will be going to Paris to finalize the deal." He continued.
"Damien its dangerous. Why can't we just leave this deal?" Ally said looking worriedly toward Ashton, who in return shook his head and looked at Damien.
"Are you crazy Damien? After all of this you still want to go ahead with this collab?" Ashton look at Damien in disbelieve.
"I have to do this and it final. But don't ask anymore question."He said and stood up , buttoned his coat and walked away.
Unaware of the storm that is waiting for him.
