Chapter 13
I do not know but the moment this Vanessa girl made mention that she used to be Damien’s ex glilliiend, I began to feel disgust towards the bath an
them.
teyed her in disdain as she continued to rant. “Damien and I go way back. I can vividly remember when he asked me to be his girlfriend. My goodn was so ridiculous. Do you remembre Laurel?” Vanessa turned to flash Damien’s mother a warm senile
“Of course sweetheart Of course I can remember. My boy was so head over heels for you.” Damien’s mother squealed in ercitement. I scoffed lowly and shook my head at the both of them. Honew their plan was to get on my nerves and it was actually beginning to work
I caught Damien sneak a glance at me, he probably noticed how uncomfortable was because he cleared his throat and adjusted his posture of the char “Uhm, can we just eat in silence?” His voice echoed loudly amongst the chattering noises between his mother and Vanessa
“Oh, quit being such a sour woll Damien, We are just trying to catch up on old stuff” His mother stood up from her seat to nudge his shoulder playdy before heading for the kitchen. I sighed heavily in relief, her presence was extremely suffocating. I tucked a strand of my hair behind my ears and jotas was about to dig into my food, Vanessa had to interrupt by asking the weirdest question ever,
“So, how did you two meet?” She casted a glance at me, waiting for me to respond instead of Damien.
“Oh me?” I paused to chuckle nervously while pointing at myself. Frubbed the back of my neck in frustration as I thought of the perfect lie to feed her and everyone else on this table. What lie could i possibly feed out? I could not tell her that I was wrongly accused for killing Lucas, Damien’s twin and somehow Damien and became business partners? Oh my goodness, no! That would freak everyone out.
“We met at a park.” Damien suddenly replied, his voice completely breaking the awkward silence.
I forced a smile on my face and nodded my head in support to his lie. “Yes, we met at the park. I brought my niece to the park and somehow I just happened to cross paths with Damien. It is an extremely long story.” I said with a bright smile.
“Oh, a park? That’s cliche.” Vanessa rolled her tongue at me. “How long have you two been married? I did not even know Damien was married in the first place until his mother told me about it a few days ago. I guess Damien does not flaunt you like he used to flaunt me.” Vanessa smirked and i felt the urge to slap that smirk off her face.
Damien does not flaunt me? Well that is because we do not even like each other to begin with. Plus Vanessa is such a stupid liar, there are tons of pictures of Damien and I on social media so what in the hell is she ranting about?
“Vanessa.” Damien slammed the table causing everyone to go quiet. Well everyone else have been quiet so far, Vanessa has been the only one running
her mouth like an open tap..
I cleared my throat as I noticed how tensed the athmosphere had become. “Excuse me, I need to use the bathspom, where can find it?” I asked gazing at anyone to respond,

Vanessa smiled at me. “Upstairs, first door on the left. Do not be surprised, I have lived here most of my life.” She pointed at the staircase close to the kitchen. I rolled my eyes at her and muttered in a dry tone. “Thank you for the direction, I guess.” Isaid. “Also for the unnecessary details.” I whispered.
“Did you say something? Vanessa arched a brow at me but i hastily shook my head in disagreement and feigned a big smile. “Enjoy your food Vanessa.” said and slowly began to walk towards the staircase, I walked past Laurel in the kitchen and I heard her call out loud
“Hey you!”
My goodness, could this day possibly get any worse?
“Hi Laurel Horced a a smile on my lips. “Need a hand with anything at all?” I asked stepping into the kitchen. Her face was scru knew she was about to warn me. The stern look on her face said it all
dinto a frown and i
“What is your name?” She snapped at me, both her hands were placed on her lips.

“Elena. I muttered. Laurel scoffed and ayed me from head to toe in under disdain. “So you think you are the right wome at me. Oh, were was about to have this mother and daughter talk where the tells me to be a good women 13 Danilan:
“Well yes. We love each oliver.” I flinched
at the mention of love. Damion and could barely stand each other. Love was indien
“Love?” Damien’s mother laughed hysterically. “Sorry to burst your bubble but my son would never react that way if he loves you the se
React what way? What is she talking about?
“You heard Vanessa very clearly. They both go way back. Vanessa was his first love and you know how hard it is to forget about your first love. “Lard stated. She was beginning to irritate me and I had the feeling that I was going to snap at her any moment from now. I have had enough of this woman talk trash.
“Can I leave now?” I asked.
“It may seem like I hate you but I actually do not. This is the best advice anyone can give to you right now Elena, do not take it for granted.” She said
“What advice?” I suddenly regretted asking because I know it was not going to be anything beneficial but my curiosity still got the best of me.
“Stay away from Damien, run.
