Chapter 15
My eyes were glued to the TV screen but my attention drifted to Damien the moment he stepped food into the house. Althought;
at the random soccer gline displaying on the TV when I had absolutely no interest in it,
My mind had been on Damien ever since we had that little moment at the mall, it sparked up something in me, almost like I wanted him to stare at m that manner for eternity.
Ireleased a heavy sigh as I watched him excuse himself the moment his phone rang out loud.
Some few minutes later, he walked back into the living room and surprisingly, his hands reached for the TV remote which was lying clencly on the centre table. Damien picked up the remote and his nest action took me off guard, he hastily put off the TV and gared at me w
“What? Am I not allowed to watch TV too? I mean you seed my phone, restricted my movements and now you want to take away the TV from me toờ? My only means of entertainment?ranted with a huge scowl plastered on my face, Damien sighed heavily and at on the couch opposite
“My mother is going to stay with us for a few weeks. Damien blurted out. My eyes widened in shock, I rose to my feat and gulped a lump down my throat. What? Why? The last thing I need right now is that woman having to live under the same roof with us.
“How could you let that happen? My goodness! Damien, you of all people know that your mother hates me and is most likely coming only to make my life a living hell!” I yelled angrily, I felt anger rise in me as I thought of how inconsiderate Damien has been these past few days
“Can you fucking chill out Elena? Not every darn thing is about you!” Damien yelled back at me, I was taken aback by his sudden outburst. He had absolutely no right to stay mad at me. I was the one who was supposed to be angry, how could he make such a decision without bothering to at least: hear my own opinion?
“Well it seems like someone has been waiting this long to yell at me.” I muttered. Damien sighed heavily, he raised his hands in the air in frustration and rose to his feet. “My mum only wants to stay for a while until she can get a house around here.” He said.
“The qu
question is why the hell does she want to live around here? Does she want to babysit her son or what?” I retorted.
“No, she wants to know about the investigation on Lucas murder, you can not exactly expect me to deny her of such rights Eler.” Damien’s tone had gotten calm a bit. His eyes were fixated on me as if trying to read me.
On the other hand, I knew Damien’s mother was only cooking up excuses to make my life a living hell. She badly wanted me to leave her son and Damier was not seeing it at all. If she really wanted to keep up with Lucas‘ murder case, then she could do that from afar. It was not like she was in another city far away. She was just like two hours away from here.
“Damien. Your mother wants me to leave you alone so bad. She does not support our relationship at all and she is hell–bent on bearing us apart no matt what. She likes Vanessa and hates my guts.” I said pausing to sigh heavily.
“So what are you driving at?” Damien arched a brow at me
“I am saying the whole Lucas‘ murder case is just an expuse, Mind you, I am not saying your mother does not care about Lucas, I am just saying she has seen it as an excuse to kick me out of your life and bring Vanessa in,” Iranted
I immediately regretted uttering those words because Damien flared up, he rose to his feet and began to pace the room. “HOW DARE YOU ELENA!” He exclaimed loudly and the next thing I heard was the thudding noise of his fist colliding with the hard wall.
Iflinched slightly in fear and gulped a lump down my throat at the scowl plastered on Damien’s face. “You know absolutely nothing! You just keep bringing Vanessa’s name into this simply because you are jealous!” Damien snapped at me.
Jealous? I could not help but roll my eyes at Him. “Jealous of what exactly?” I raised a brow at him, trying my best to feign
“You are jealous because of your dumb insecurities but let me remind you of something Elena, just incase you have forgotten, You and I are not in a serious marriage, this is nothing but a mére contract mariage alright? We have business to settle and we both made a deal not to interfere in each other’s private lives Damien said.

She asked me to watch my back and I never knew she would go as far as thinking of living with in. It just felt completely ta to go an extra mile. bid she hate me that mucht
“Have I made myself clear?” Damien spoke in a low yet deadly tone. I knew arguing with him would not make any much difference, fis loved to do things his own way.
“Yes you have.” I muttered. The plan was to find another way to stop Damien’s mother from coming
“You mean nothing to me and I mean nothing to you.”
Those were Damien’s last words before he slowly walked out of my sight.
Although his words were not true, deep down inside of mine, I knew he meant a lot to me.
