THE CEO WHO SAVED ME by Becca

CHAPTER SEVENTY EIGHT. "Hey bro, what's up?" Aiden asked as Damian came downstairs, the team were all rehearsing for their next game and even their new recruit, the female gamer was also rehearsing with the team and they seem to be getting along well.

"I am going somewhere, you all should rehearse without me" he replied.

"But we have a practice match with ZIDO" it was Nicky who spoke up.

"Don't worry, I will play for him, okay,god D❞ the girl who's name was champagne said, she was smiling at Damian.

"Are you going to see Cody?" Aiden asked.

"If I don't make up with her before the next game, I won't be able to concentrate," he replied and walked off. Today Cody must either tell him what he did or he won't leave her alone.

"Who is Cody?" Champagne asked, her eyes darting from one team mate to the other.

"His girlfriend" Nicky replied and continued with his game but he managed to see the downcast look on champagne's eyes, it seemed like she was already falling for him after being in the team for some weeks now. "But how come she never comes here?"

"Just concentrate on the game champagne, Damian doesn't like us interfering in his personal life" Aiden chipped in and she kept quiet but a lot was on her mind already.

She has learnt how to be a professional gamer because she wanted to be close to her idol, all those years she forfeited her studies and buried herself in the world of E-sport but it was like she was too late.

"I will just be back," she added and walked upstairs.

Seems like our champagne has a thing for god D❞ Nicky said as he glanced at Aiden. "She should keep her head in the game," Aiden answered back.

Jem was setting the table for dinner when the doorbell rang, she wanted to go and open the door but Rubby first her to it. "Hello Uncle" Damian greeted as he opened the door. "My boy, you didn't inform us you were coming" Rubby said as he patted his shoulder.

"It was urgent uncle, is Cody in?". "Yes, she just got back from work". "Okay, I will check up on her" he replied and made his way upstairs when he saw Jem, "hello Aunt" he hugged her lightly. "You didn't tell us you were coming". "Urgent matters aunt, I will go to Cody now" he replied and rushed upstairs.

"It's seems he won't let Cody off easily" Rubby said as he stood near his wife. "They might get back together" she beamed excitedly, she had always known they were the perfect match. Cody was listening to music on her earpods when there was a knock on her door. "The door is open" she replied, thinking it was her mum but Damian entered Instead, " Damian?" She muttered under her breath. "We need to talk".

"We have nothing to talk about, just get out of my room" she replied standing up from her bed.

"You can't make me leave today cody without telling me anything, do you know how miserable I have been for the past five years? do you enjoy torturing me like this?" He snapped angrily, this girl sure knows how to get him to be angry. "You don't have the right to come to my room and say nonsense Damian Martins, I suggest you leave now".

Instead of leaving, he began to move closer to her and she was also moving backwards until her back hit her closet and his tall frame was towering over her.

"Leave Damian" she managed to say, forcing herself not to look at him.

"Why can't you just tell me what I did that made you hate me so much Cody" he pleaded, his voice sounding so calm.

"You didn't do anything so please just go Damian "she answered, her voice already cracking, " Then why did you leave me Cody, you know how much I really love you". She scoffed, "you love me Damian? if you really did love me you you won't be fucking your female fan in the restroom five years ago" she yelled angrily and he was taken aback.

"What?" He couldn't believe his ears.

"Yes Dainian martins, you pretend to love me and you go behind my back to cheat on me, what do you take me for Damian?" By now tears had already welled up in her eyes, he was always making her feel hurt and she hated it. "What are you talking about Cody, I don't understand" he replied with a look of confusion written on his face.

She folded her hand across her chest," you sure know how to lie your way around Damian, swear that you didn't cheat on me after your game five years ago in the restroom". Right now he just didn't understand what she was saying, after they won the game that day he went immediately to look for her and someone told him she just left. So he didn't understand what she meant.

"Cat got your tongue?" She asked, retrieving him from his train of thoughts. "You think I was cheating on you? And I was being intimate with my female fan that day in the restroom?" He asked out of disbelief. "Yes," she snapped in his face. He couldn't help but start laughing as tears sipped out of his eyes, "I didn't know that was how you thought of me Cody and here I was thinking I did something wrong". "What do you mean?".

"I always thought you loved me but now I know you only think of me as a cheat and nothing more, after that game I went to look for you and that Mauray friend of yours told me you had already left and now you say I was cheating on you? and that too in the restroom?".

He wanted to be mad but he couldn't, she has been staying away from him all these years because she thought he cheated on her.

"And you couldn't talk to me about it Cody, you had to break up with me for something I never did".

"She was screaming your name" she blurted, she still couldn't believe he didn't cheat on her.

"For five years I have been in pain for something I never did Cody, I should have known you never loved me" saying that, he turned around and walked out of the room. His eyes were already glistening with tears and he felt very hurt that that was how she thought of him.

As she watched him walk out she also broke down in tears, if he was right then she had misjudged him for five years.

"Are you going to sit here crying or you will go after him and sought things out?" A voice asked deep in her mind, then she found herself rushing out of the room but he was already gone by the time she reached downstairs, only her parents were standing near the door.

"Where is Damian?" She asked her mum.

"He already left dear" she replied, her eyes filled with sadness as she saw the tears in the eyes of her daughter and even Damian's. "Why didn't you stop him?" she almost yelled but her dad walked up to her and pulled her into an embrace." Calm down baby" he whispered to her as he stroked her hair, he couldn't bear to see her in this state.
