Damien’s Pov
I saw Elena’s face fall is disappointment and it made me feel a bit guilty I knew she needed
time and that she needed to rant in me and I hated that fact for sure,
The last thing I wanted to do was get attached to her. I wanted to stop caring for her, all I wanted this to be was some business de
tighed heavily as I walked away from her and slowly began to walk towards the direction of my mother. I grabbed my mother by the ans her to a secluded ares.
“Mum, what the hell is going on?” I snapped at her. My mother rolled her eyes at me before gazing at me in an accusative glare. “Are you taking her side now?” She snapped back at me. I paused to run a hand through my hair in frustration. Thad already felt enough frustration from work
in the house would not let me he at peace
“You of all people know that this has nothing to do with taking sides at all mothert Why the hell is Vanessa still at our house? Lasked in a lon clenched my fist fight and gritted my teeth in anger as I tried my possible best to control the anger i was feeling deep down inside of me
“Her car got faulty so she could not leave Damien, did you expect me to just throw her out of the house like that? After everything that she has done for this family? You have got to be kidding me? You want me to throw that innocent woman out? All because of your stupid wife My mother yelled angrily
I scoffed and shook my head at her in disbelief. Stupid? Elena had not even done anything wrong to amount to be tagged as a stupid person
“Mum, it is obvious you just hate her for no good reason and I do not care about that but let me make things clear to you.” I paused to sigh heavily
I rubbed the back of my neck and slowly began to empahsize my words.
“I married Elena and not Vanessa. The only reason I let you stay in the house was because you said you were concerned about Lucas‘ murder investigation but judging by the look of things now, it only seems like you have some other dumb plan.” I said with a raised brow. If her plan was to reunite and Vanessa back together then there was no way in hell that would work
Thad zero interest in love, women and romance. My main focus was catching my twin’s killer and i was determined to do that regardless of the cost
Vanessa leaves tomorrow and if you want to stay then you need to treat Elena right or else i would have to kick you out too” I said in a cold yet deadly tone. I walked away from my mother, ignoring her as she whisper–yelled my name several times.
saw Elena and Vanessa gaze at each other with death glares. I turned to Vanessa and pointed to the staircase.
“There is visitor’s rooms on the second floor, the door by the left.” I said, Vanessa looked like she was about to say something but Elena had beat her to it.
“Oh so you are going to take my room away from me as well?” She snapped at me.
“You are sleeping with me tonight” I blurted out. An awkward silence fall between everyone in the room. Elena was taken aback by my sudden request

and so was
Why was entertaining such? I gulped a lump down my throat and began to walk up the stairs. My mother had called Vanessa out, probably for some random discussion that I could care less about All I need for now was my peace and sanity.
Haid on my bed flat with my eyes fixated on the ceiling. I began to brood about Elena, it was like she was the only thing on my mind, all day and night.
Thad tried to stop thinking about her by burying myself with work but I would end up doing something wrong and getting distracted again
muttered a cuss under my breath and mentally scolded myself or was this perhaps her plan all along to lure me into loving her so! my twin brother’s murder case? If that was her plan then there was no doubt that it was not working
I had to admit to myself out loud that for the first time in my life, a woman was driving me crazy.

I waited an hour, an hour became hours for Elena to join in the bedroom but she had not arrived yet. I wanted to brush it off but at the same time I felt

Chapter 18
the urge to check up on her
Without wasting anymore time, I walked downstairs and met Elena lying on the couch with her laptop glued to her screen. My mother and Vanessa were not in sight so I assumed they had gone to sleep
I also noticed that Elena had gotten so fond of her laptop these past few days. She had her attention glued to it all day long, it made me want to seize that from her. I wanted to take everything that took her attention from me.
“Why are you not sleeping?” I asked.
Elena was startled by my voice. She turned to gaze at me for a brief moment before averting her gaze back to the laptop.
“You kicked me out of my room so yeah, I do not feel sleepy at all.” Elena snapped at me.
I sighed heavily. “I asked you to sleep in the room with me?” I was unsure of why I kept repeating that. Was it because i actually wanted her to sleep in the same room with me?
There was a brief silence before Elena cleared her throat to speak. “Look, I need to talk to you to do with your mother so are you willing to listen?”
Wait, if it had nothing to do with mum or Vanessa? Then what did she want to talk about?
about something important and it has absolutely
