THE CEO WHO SAVED ME by Becca

CHAPTER EIGHTY.

"Today we are here for the final battle between team XYZ and ZIDO, and the nation watching who will emerge the national champions" the commentator announced through the large microphone and the whole hall erupted in uproars and shouts. For all other battles, team XYZ have emerged victorious and now will face their last opponents for the championship.

"Let's welcome our nation's heartthrob and god of E-sport and his team, team XYZ" he screamed and shouts of god D could be heard all over, deep inside the crowd, a desperate eye was searching to see him.

Ever since he left that day he refused to talk to her or even answer her calls or texts, she was heartbroken because she had misjudged him all those years and now he hated her.

As she watched him walk on the stage with his team members, she could see the anger on his face and he didn't even look around for her as usual and at that moment she didn't know when a drop of tears escaped her eye, he was hurt and She was the cause of it. Gesturing to the host, Damian collected the microphone and said something.

"Hello everyone" hearing his voice, everyone began to shout again. They all loved everything about him and wanted more of him but little did they know he was about to break their hearts with his announcement.

"I have always loved being an E-sport pro gamer ever since I was a child, I loved the game and everything about it and I wanted to be a pro gamer because the woman I loved also loved the game but right now I feel like I am done with E- sport".

A confused murmur went out of the crowd as they struggled to understand what he wanted to say, even his teammates didn't know what he wanted to say and they were as surprised as the audience.

"This game will be my last and I will be quitting the game after I bring my team to victory". And just like that he broke the hearts of millions of people including Cody and she began to cry profusely. It was her fault that he was quitting, not only her but everyone in the arena could not bear the news they had just heard and even his teammates were not left out.

"What do you mean god D?" Nicky asked in confusion, he became a pro gamer because of Damian and now he was leaving?.

"I am sorry bro, let's just focus on winning the championship Tonight" he replied and handed the microphone back to the commentator, that was when he looked around the crowd and he found her sitting but his looks didn't linger on her as he turned his eyes away, he was hurt because of her, very hurt.

The game was an intense one and the two teams were the best in the country but as god D said he would bring his team to victory, he did it and the whole nation had to give them a standing accolade, even if they were all hurt because he was quitting, he still brought victory to his team and his agency. After the match, he accepted a last interview before leaving the arena for good, his fans gathered all around the interview area to catch a glimpse of their hero because he leaves the limelight for good and as he walked up the stage the chants of his name increased and his popularity was skyrocketing on the internet by the minute.

"We are glad to have you here" the interviewer said as she smiled and he only nodded.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"How does it feel to win the championship with your team?" She asked further.

"It feels great and I know team XYZ will continue to dominate the world of E-sport even though I will no longer be part of the team," he replied sincerely. "Speaking of that, why did you choose to quit at a time like this? everyone loves you". He smiled a little," let's just say I was not fortunate enough to get the two things I love so it's better to leave one and get the other".

"Hmm, it's really a shame though that you had to quit at the Pinnacle of your career but we the E-sport community wish you all the best" the interviewer said sincerely and smiled at him.

"Thank you" he replied and made his way out of the arena, he used that time to hug his fans and sign a few autographs for them. He still had to talk to his teammates and manager about the decision he made.

Cody didn't leave even after watching his interview, she really wanted to talk to him but he was nowhere to be found, she decided to go and look for him in the resting lounge and as she went there, she could hear shouts coming from inside. "Tell me why you took such a decision without informing us first?" His manager screamed angrily.

"I will pay ten times the compensation" he replied nonchalantly. "Do you think this is about the compensation god D?" Aiden asked, he was visibly hurt because they were going to lose the best player in their team. It's just a personal decision and I am sorry for whatever damage it might cost the agency".

His manager could only sigh, he had always been someone who said something and did it exactly but what could they do?He already made up his mind and they knew it was almost impossible to change his mind. "Are you really leaving god D?" Champagne asked. "I will find a replacement before I fully leave". Nicky, who understood why he was doing this, did not say anything, he knew once he made a decision, nothing would change it. Sighing softly, she held the door handle and opened the door, all the pairs of eyes were staring at her as she entered.

"Meet us back at the base, we have a lot to talk about* his manager said and walked out with the others until it remained the two of them.

"Why did you quit?" That was the only question she could come up with right now even if that was not what she wanted to ask.

"If you have come to ask me that, you can just leave" he answered and began to pack his stuff into his backpack not bothering to look at her again. "You shouldn't have quit Damian, you loved E-sport alot and it was your dream to be where you are today".

"Really Cody? really?I became a pro gamer just for you, I won every game with the thought of you in mind, everything I do it's for you but when a little misunderstanding creeps up, you did what? you broke up with me Cody for something I didn't do. I am sorry but you lost the right to tell me what to do" he replied as part of his eyes turned Misty, "If I were in your shoes I would never define our relationship based on what happened years ago, I would have talked to you about it and cleared things out because I love you Cody but you didn't deem it fit to talk to me, your ego was bigger than your love. So you are free now, I will go back to Korea and never come back, you won't have to see my face ever again and that will make you happy right?" He almost screamed, he just didn't know how to vent out his frustration anymore. "Damian..."

She wanted to talk but he cut her short,

"Why should I listen to what you have to say?".

"I love you Damian" she replied as bitter tears rolled out of her beautiful eyes, she couldn't bear the way he was treating her and she knew it was all her fault. "You love me? Then why did you do that?".

"I was angry okay, I thought you cheated on me and my heart was broken. A lot of people love you and you can leave me anytime to be with any of them, I felt insecure" by now she was crying profusely and she couldn't even stop herself. Damian could feel his heart melting as he saw tears in her eyes, he once vowed never to make her cry and that was what he was doing now. ! Insecure? But why? you are perfect for me Cody and I love everything about you". "I am sorry Damian, I can't bear this heartache again. I am really sorry" she was already shivering due to crying too much and he couldn't bear it again and pulled her to his embrace allowing her to cry in his arms. "It's okay," he said after a while patting her back lightly. "I am sorry please don't go away" she whispered in between sobs still in his embrace and a smile appeared at the corners of his lips.

"Promise you won't hurt me again?" He asked. "I promise,” she answered quickly. "Now stop crying, you are so skinny, you might fall sick". "Does that mean you Forgive me Damian?" She asked disengaging from him.

"I never held any grudge against you Cody, I quit because I didn't want you to use it against me because I have affairs with my female fans, I want to focus on you". "Really?" She asked and he nodded.

She ran into his embrace again," I love you Damian".

"I love you too" he replied and tilted his neck and captured her lips.
