"We deeply apologise for the troubles, and if you two wouldnt mind, we I'll like to treat you guys to a nice drink on the house " Derek said.
"oh thanks, but we were already leaving" just then two heavily bodied men entered the club, surveyed it from left ot right before heading towards Lauren's direction.
"miss Turner, Miss woldorf " the men bowed slightly....scratching her brows, chloe was embarrased that her bodyguards were bowing to them in public.
"Oh dont mind them really, they are just our drivers".
"you mean body guards, there is no shame in that love" damon said smiling as he caught on why she was feeling embarrased.
Hearing him call her love made her blush unknowingly, while lauren chuckled at her friend.
"uhm, thanks for earlier" the two turned to leave before damien called out.
"you never told us your names?'' damien asked calmly causing them to stop on their track. Turning she couldnt help staring straight at his face and inwardly wondered how a man look so perfect.
Mainting the stare he wondered what could be going on her mind, and was even
more fascinated that she is the only on he couldnt read.
"Lauren, Luren Turner, and this is Chloe Woldorf my bestfriend" she answered but corked an eyebrow at him expecting him to introduce himself too.
He unknowingly smiled upon realising why she looked at him funny.
"Damien voltorie" he introduced curtly. the others introduced themselves before the two ladies left with their
two body guards. Calling over five of his men, damien instructed them to follow tail them and make sure they got home safely.
"lets go" Damien said as they left the club.

Blasting ariana grande's 'God is a woman' track on her maybach, Lauren drove into the NDI
facility at exactly 7.30 pm.
"lauren" Stephnie, her partner called out as soon as she saw her walk in, into the facility.
"you seem to be in a very high spirit" she
said nudging her gently by the side
"this is how i am every morning" lauren said as the two walked into the building.
"me when i lie" stephnie said causing lauren to laugh out loud whilst shaking her head. she often wondered where her partner learns all these catchy phrases from.
"have you heard?" stephnie asked changing the topic...looking at her partner curiously lauren wondered what other rumor she's heard this time.
"well i dont know how true this is, but i heard the higher ups had employed a consultant from
the presidency team to join us", this statement made lauren halt momentarily on
what she was doing.
"whats the name of this consultant" Lauren asked before continuing dressing up for the mission. she held her breath and waited on what stephnie would say, praying silently that the name she dreaded would not be the one coming to the department.
"well i dont know the name, actually i dont know who the person is, the infomation is pretty
confidential" stephine said before the two left the locker room.
The two and other agents assembled around the briefing room and waited on the director,
few minutes later the director walked in.
"good morning agents" he greated.
"good morning director" they chorused
"we have been able to identify the hideouts of the kidnappers and where they kept the children"
the director announced before going ahead to brief his agents on how to go about with the
mission.
"our team intercepted a call they made last night,on how to move the kids oveerseas tonight,
thats why we need to rescue this kids today and now, and luckily we have a window to execute that plan" the director briefed
" we also intercepted a pizza and sushi order they made a few minutes ago, Agent lauren you will be the fake delivery guy. You part is to Lure one of them outside and get access to the house, I want the mission to go as smooth as possible, I dont want a hostage situation where the kids would be used as a shield, do you understand"
"Any question so far?"
"Since we have a way to get around the house without been suspected, and using a decoy, I propose we use a trunk instead of an armored tank, that way they dont know what's coming at them" Lauren suggested, getting a nod in approval from everyone o the team.
"Then its settled, Lauren you will lead the team as always, that would be all" He said before heading to his office.
_______________________________________________
Pressing the door bell once more, Lauren waited patiently for the kidnappers to come out and then their plan would be in motion.
Hearing a crack on the door as the door knob turned left and right, she got ready.
Opening the door a man came out while shuttingbthe door immediately behind him.
"Good morning sir, You made an order for two boxes of pizza and four packs of sushi, here is your order, you can sign here" she handed him the delivery and book to sign. Not suspecting anything he collected the foods and as soon as he started to sign, a smoke puffed out of the tip of the pen and immediately lost consciousness.
With that her men immediately moved out of trunk and into the house swiftly and quietly. Collecting the key from the unconscious man, she opened the door and they ambushed some of men inside the living room, killing five of them, but there was no sign of the children.
Moving swiftly and searching the house, they found a door in the stairs that led to what looked like an underground, lauren signaled her team to follow while she lef them into the underground.
"NDI put your hands in the air and get on your knees you are out numbered" Lauren announced as soon as they stormed the dark underground room, thankfully the children were there.
The kidnappers surrendered as the agent cuffed them and took them away. Carrying the children, they took them out of the house to be tended to the medical team that were already at the scene.
Few minutes later, news agencies arrived at the scene, airing the event that took place.
All the parents of the children rushed to the scene of the operation to look for their kids.
"She is really is cool, I mean how can she be so good in two incredible careers, i didnt know humans have the capacity to be this outstanding to be honest" Damon said as they watched the news from Damien's office.
Damien watched expressionless, she really is outstanding and beautiful too, he thought..
"I mean given the fact that such a beauty and outstanding lady is your destiny, am slightly jealous" Damon rambled on.
Just then the CEO of Apex walked into his office.
"Good day sir, the reporters and the journalists are already waiting at the conference room"he said.
"You may go, I will be out in a minute" Damien said as he lazily got up from his seat..
"Revealing yourself as Damien Voltorie to the world will certainly attract attention from every where especially from the supernatural realm, are you ready for that?" Derek asked.
"We will see" Damien said as they left his office.
As soon as the three men walked in inside the conference hall, they were met with camera flashes from all corner.
The reporters were jaw dropped and dazed , they couldnt believe how outrageously handsome the men where, their beauty seemed unearthly and ridiculous for a human. Only that they weren't humans.
The press conference lasted for about thirty minutes as Damien was introduced to the world as the founder and owner of the biggest Conglomerate in the country and the whole of south and north america.
"Are you going to the fundraiser tonight" Damon asked as the three left the company.
"Hmm" Damien replied.
"Unfortunately i cant come with you Damien, I have a really urgent surgery to take, Damon can go with" Derek suggested.
"Unfortunately I cant, I have a lady waiting for me at momento tonight, I cant let it pass, sorry" Damon said cheekily, Damien smiled knowingly at him, such a flirt.

"Dad i dont know why I need to go with you to all these boring parties" Lauren complained pouting as she and her dad made their way into party hall hand in hand.
"Cant blame an old man for wanting to see his daughter end up with a decent man, I mean look at you, you a beautiful young lady, accomplished in every area, but yet no man" her dad complained.
"I dont need a man dad, not after everything I went through" she said stopping on her track.
Looking at his poor daughter, his heart ached when he remembered what she went through because of that stupid good for nothing boy.
"it's been two years honey, surely you have gotten over him?" He asked.
"Yes of cause" she answered immediately, causing her dad to smile.
"Then its settled, let me introduce you to the son of a friend of mine, you may like him" he dragged her with him causing her to sigh.
Just then her phone rang, "I need to take this dad, she said and excused herself.
"Just in time thank God, phew" Lauren said wiping off an invincible sweat off her brows.
"How is it going, sorry I couldnt come with you" Chloe said on the phone
"Its ok" lauren said as both ladies talked for awhile, before she suddenly saw someone she never wanted to see ever again.
"Can I call you back Koko, something came up"
Seeing the couple walk in all smiles and hand in hand, her heart sank, and the emotions she thought she had buried resurfaced again after two years. She tried to make a run for it as soon as the couple turned towards her direction.
Turning to run or hide or even go home, she bumped into a hard surface, looking up she was met with a pair of beautiful chromatic eyes.
"Who are you running from" he asked in his sexy husky voice.
