Chapter 28
Elena’s POV
“I have somewhere else to be today Damien.” I said with a frown on my face.
Damien arched a brow at me.
“What do you mean you have somewhere else to be Elena? Today’s a fucking saturday.” I could sense Damien’s anger already burning in him but I was not going to let him have his way this time around. It would be unfair if he would not even let me do my own things but expects me to always dos his own biddings.
“I am guessing you do not have anything else to say. 9:30am? Do not forget.”
He snapped at me and slowly began to walk away but I yelled his name back causing him to halt in his steps.
“I can not cancel my plans, I am meeting someone important and it has been settled already.” I said boldly.
I heard Damien scoff and i caught him roll his eyes at me. “Are you fucking kidding me right now? Who said you could go around meeting just anyone?” He snapped at me, air quoting his words.
“You gave me that authority remember?” I cocked my head to the right.
Damien rolled his eyes at me. “I did not. I only gave you freedom when it had something to do with the shares idea. This is a Saturday Elena, I know you are not meeting Kira to talk about the shares so whatever meeting you have planned is probably something very unnecessary.” Damien ranted.
I eyed him in disbelief, how could he suddenly come up with such a horrible conclusion that i was going for something unnecessary. If only he knew that not only was I trying to get my company back from the hands of Charlotte and Adrian, I was also trying to help him catch them.
“Why are you doing this to me? Why do you have to dictate my life? Why do I have to do every darn thing you say?” I yelled at him in shaky tone. I felt tears prick from the corner of my eyes. My heart shattered into pieces as i slowly realized that being with Damien was no different from being in prison, it was just a much more luxurious prison.
“I have the right to do whatever i want because I got you out of prison Elena. I am not even sure that i might be working with the right person. I am just acting blindly so you should be grateful that I am not letting you sleep behind the walls of Prison. I gave you a name and a fucking face, you should be grateful for that.” Damien spat at me bitterly.
I was taken aback in shock by his sudden outburst. Why was he saying such mean words to me all in the name of attending some dumb wedding with me? I knew Charlotte, she was not going to agree if I tried to suggest that perhaps we meet tomorrow. Plus what was the assurance that Damien would let me go out tomorrow? It was almost like I was walking on thin ice.
“You are nothing but Elena Vance, my wife and you should live by that name. At least until our contract wears off.” Damien made his final statement before walking away from me.
I scoffed, feeling anger rise in me. He acted like he was the controller of my life and I hated how all power happened to be in his hands. As a matter of fact, I hated every darn thing about him.
I picked up my phone and tried to dial Charlotte’s number, hoping she would pick up. “Hello?” I heard Charlotte’s voice ring over the phone. “Charlotte, hi, I….” She had not even let me complete my sentence. She cut me off in a rude tone. “Who the hell am I speaking with and how did you get my number?” She snapped at me.
“Relax, it is just me. Elena Vance.” I said, feeling slightly irritated that I was forced to bear Damien’s surname. Right now, I wanted to have absolutely nothing to do with him. I heard Charlotte scoff/over the phone. “It is 6am for Christ sake, we had a deal for 9am, I got it okay?” She whisper–yelled at me.
I sighed heavily.
“About that. Can you hold onto the phone till tomorrow? I have to go somewhere important with
husband today.” I said in a haste.

“Uhm, excuse me?” Charlotte yelled.
my throat. I pulled the phone away from ears before I would go deaf from her loud voice. I cleared
“Relax, I know we had some sort of deal but right now I can not exactly back out. Please just hold onto the phone till tomorrow?” I said
“No! Do you know how hard it was for me to keep that phone throughout the night? I could barely catch some sleep with Adrian rummaging the whole house for his phone as if he lost twenty four carats of gold.” Charlotte snapped at me.
Iran a hand through my hair in frustration and muttered several cusses to Damien. This was an opportunity come once, I hated the fact that I was about to miss it just because of some dumb wedding. I had to think fast.
“How about meeting me earlier than that?” I asked.
“I can not. 9am is perfect for me. The only reason I would be able to leave by 9am is because that is the exact same time Adrian leaves for the company. Charlotte said.
Oh shit, I was screwed.
Charlotte hung up. I tossed the phone carelessly on the couch and began to pace the room. What was the best thing to do? Come on Elena, think! Think harder! How could I be at the two different places at the same time?
Or rather, which one was of much importance to me?
Attending some stupid wedding with Damien or meeting with Charlotte to get Adrian’s phone?
