Hena’s Pov
“Get down“Domien ondered. He was back to his usual cold demeanor could not understand why he always det that. He was so good tching firm good to bad and then bad to good It often messed with my feelings and frankly speaking, Thated it
“Elena’t asked you to get down.” I heard him yell from outside I sighed heavily as I said a silent priter to God before pushing the door open and stepping out of the car.
“Before we go in there, I need you to pull out your best acting skills. Make it seem like your are so in love with me, okay?” Damien raised a brow at me i pulped a lump down my throat and nodded my head in agreement. “Uch, sure” I muttered.
Damien linked arms with me as we slowly approached the front door. A man dressed in a black suit stood by the door with a warm smile could immediately identify him as the butler just judging by his dress code and his manner of approach towards and Gamin
“Welcome Sir, Welcome ma’am.” He bowed his heard at us in respect. I flashed him a small smile which he gladly returned. Damien on the other had just dived right into the point. “Where is my mum?” He asked.
“She is in the dinning room, waiting for you and your wife. He said.
“Lead the way.” Damien mumbled. The butler nodded his head at us and began to lead us into the huge apartment. The doors were made of glass and the walls were sparkling white. As we stepped into the living room, could tell that there were no frames of their family hanging on the wall. All that was there was just a bunch of random paintings. I had a feeling that Damien’s family were not exactly the typical normal family
As we drew closer to the dining hall, I could hear chattering and laughing noises echoing from the room which meant it was not just Damien’s mum
there, probably his entire family.
I caught Damien sneaking a glance at me, his hands reached for mine, he squeezed it tight and pulled me into the dining hall.
I was left speechless as we both stood by the door awkwardly. Not at the numerous delicacies lined on the table but at the numerous people gathered around the table. They were about seven of them.
A young woman who looked just like Damien slowly began to approach us with a smile on her face. She was definetly Damien’s mother. Asides her, there were three other boys around the age of eighteen sitting by the left side of the table. Two little girls sat at the other end of the table and the last person caught my attention, a young lady who was dressed in a red floral dress:
She was indeed stunning. Her brunette hair was braided neatly into a ponytail, her tanned skinned was to die for, nothing compared t
d to my pale skin. Het red lips were curled into a smile as she stared at Damien.
I noticed that she looked nothing like him which meant she was not his sister, Who was she then?”
“Mum, I thought you wanted to see just us?” Damien snapped at her. His mother rolled her eyes in response. “Your cousins wanted to see you too.” Mum
said.
Oh, his cousins? including the lady too?
“What about Vanessa? Does she count as my cousin too?” Damien scoffed at his mother.
“She just wants to talk to you. His mother said with a reassuring smile. Everyone here treated me like I was completely invisible. His mother had not even spared me a single glance. I felt awkward, unsure of whether to say hi or to wait. I chose the latter.
I watched Damien’s mother drag her son to sit close to the so called Vanessa girl while just stood by the door awkwardly.
“Are you just going to stand there like an idion His mother snapped at me. Me? idiot? I fought back the urge to scoff at her. She looked so mean freckles on her face were evident and she shot dagger glares at me.
I noticed that all the seats close to Damien were occupied so I just quietly sat by the side of the little girls with my head bowed low in embarrassment.

“It is good to see you again Damien. Have have you been?” Vanessa asked, bereyes never lening flanden’s fari Vanessa all through, I could tell that she liked Vanessa so much. Whom this Vanessa girl was, I did not care, all is
“Likewise Vanessa.” Bansien muttered, looking totally uninterested in her
“We should totally catch up on stuffs some other time? Maybe this weekend when you are less buty from work Vanessa shrugged. The asking my busband out? Right in front of me? My goodness, she had no shame.
“hes, I agree. You both should totally catch up on things. His mother said with a light chuckle.
“I can not. Weekends are usually to spend time with my wife. Sometimes I take her shopping or to a restaurant or some other times we just cond together in bed.” Damien blurted out.
I choked out a small cough, almost choking on my macaroni. My goodness, Damien was an excellent liar.
“Oh, your wife, Mind my manners, sorry I have not introduced myself yet. I was so excited to soo Damien that I must have forgotten about your provention Vanessa apologized, the fake smile on her face made me want to puke.
“No worries.” I said with a nervous chuckle.
“My name is Vanessa, it is such a pleasure to finally meet you.” Vanessa grinned at me.
“Oh, I am Elena. The pleasure is mine.” I returned her fake smile. Two could definetly play a game.
“You are probably wondering who I am to Damien. I am his childhood best friend and also ex girlfriend.”
Ex girlfriend?
