Chapter 19
Elena’s POV
I sincerely hoped in my heart that perhaps Damien would give me a listening ear this time in order for me to execute the brilliant plant had in mind. 1. watched Damien eye in suspicion before contemplating whether or not to listen to me. He eventually decided to listen to meberse he closethe throat and gestured me to go ahead.
“Wright but you only have five minutes. He warned me with a stern look
I waved it off because the surge of excitement I was feeling inside of me was able to drive away any negative feeling, even Damien was shocked that was not offended by his statement, neither was I trying to defend myself.
“I talked to Charlotte!” I blurted out
“What?” Damien exclaimed, his eyes were widened in shock at me. Damien took a few steps backward, he rubbed the back of his neck and arched his brows at me in utter confusion.
“I mean how? You were at the house all day right! Please tell me you did not leave the house
use for once?” Damien spoke in a tone of urgency.
I was taken aback in shock that the only thing he was actually concerned about was whether I left the house or not, Why did any of that ever matter to him? it was not like I was kleptomaniac or that I was crazy or something? I was perfectly okay and ready to roam the streets free yet for some reasons unknown to me, Damien preferred to keep me locked up.
“I did not leave the house, Your mother and Vanessa can bear me witness.” I paused to roll my eyes at him before muttering my last statement in a low
tone
“Unless they intentionally choose to lie against me of course, then I would not be surprised at all.” I said in a dry tone
Damien had not said a word yet. He seemed to be so deep in his thoughts which was extremely unusual because he was always so focused and his head happened to always be in the game.
“Damien. Are you even listening to me?” I raised a brow at him. My loud voice was able to startle him. He was jolted out of his thoughts and back to reality. He blinked twice at me with a confused look on his face questioning.
“Where were we?” I was about to reply his question but he beat me to it.
“I remember! Charlotte, how did you communicate with her?” He asked.
Finally, he was beginning to seem to care about it. “She reached out to me through my email. I think we might have her on our side because she said she wants me to help her dig deeper into finding out which other people her husband has cheated with.” I said.
“Okay? Do you plan on helping her? You know you should not because they are the bad guys here and we need to be mindful of them” Damien warned
me
I sighed heavily in frustration and rubbed my palms together.
“I actually saw it as an opportunity to exploit her vulnerable side, if I get closer to her then I would be able to manipulate her into digging so much dirt on her husband, maybe even to the point of revealing that they are the ones responsible for the death of Lucas” I said, smirking enthusiastically.
Damien nodded his head slowly, I could sense that he was enjoying the plan and he most likely would be a part of it. I just needed him to approve of the whole shares part and that way, everything else would go well.
“That sounds like a really nice plan, I see the /sion.” Damien started, I flashed him a grateful smile in return. For some weird reason, his compliments made me feel so proud of myself it meant a lot to me and I wished he would do them more often.
“Although quick question, what are your plans of getting closer to Charlotte? I mean it may seem like you have her on our side right now but I tell you that it is going to take a whole lot to gain her trust. You get what I mean right?” Damien asked.

Chapter 19
I cleared my throat, I felt fear wash over me and the hairs on my skin began to rise as I thought of the perfect way to present
way could I possibly entice him?
“Actually, I have a plan for that as well.” Imumbled.
“Alright, that is even better. Let me hear it” Damien ushered me to go ahead and speak. I took a few steps backward as prepared myself for Damian’s blunt rejection, I mean obviously I knew he was not just going to agree all at once but I guess I was determined to convince him.
“I plan to buy shares from their company” I blurted out.
“Doing that would need your presence at the company Elena.” Damien pointed out.
Oh well, look. He was catching up so quickly. I nodded my head in agreement and smiled at him shyly.
“Well yes but not 24/7 ofcourse. Just a few times, you know that is the only way to win Charlotte on our side.” Isaid with pleading eyes.
Damien took a brief while to reply, it looked like he was contemplating on the exact response to give me. Although I hoped that whatever response hie had in mind would be to my favour
“No.” He said after a long while.
“What? No? Why no? Are you going to just let us scrap out this plan because you want to keep me indoors for the rest of my life? This was definetly not part of our agreement Damien. How am I supposed to help you catch them if I am locked in here forever?” I yelled at him.
Damien sighed. “I will do the shares idea thingy. You just stay inside and keep thinking of other ideas.” He added.
He slowly began to walk away
vay but I felt anger burn inside of me, I was not going to let him have the last laugh.
“Why are you so heartless to the point of locking me up all day?” I exclaimed with a shaky breath.
“THAT IS BECAUSE I DON’T WANT ANYONE ELSE HAVING YOU!” Damien yelled back at me.
Wait, what?
