There was no movement, none from me or from the people around. The nerve of her to come out and put a blame on me, I was shaken, infact any one would be if put in the situation I was in right now.
Damon's face was cold, his expression was the only one I cared most about right now. I was scared of what he might say next, my heart was beating.... so hard you could hear the sound from outside.
I looked at the maid who had accused me for something I didn't do but only thought of.
"I never went to his room, where did you get such idea from?" I decided to defend myself before things get messy, it's bad enough that he dislikes me, I don't want him to hate me any further.
For the first time after the long pause we all took, Damon looked at me, his gaze was of a kind that try to read a person's innocence from their behavior.
Damon let out a long sigh before he said. "Someone went in my room and took something which is very precious to me." He paused before
Turns out Elizabeth mum never knew her child couldn't give birth, It was sad watching a mother cry like this after being told of something hurtful. Her husband was the only one who could console her.By the time she was done crying and had urged us to eat so as to lighten up the mood we had already lost our appetite. Xander decided to explain it more further to the couple.They had all started on how carefree Elizabeth was and how she always dreamed of going to the mansion and eventually did. Elizabeth parent was never aware of her marriage with Damon which explains he empty banquet hall she talked about in her diary. I got to understand the family better and even Elizabeth.The couple showed their hatred for Damon even at the presence of his brother and Xander sided with them. For their side of the story Damon was a coward for not fighting hard for his wife when Beatriz pressurized her, Damon was never home and not once did he visit Elizabeth family while they
I stared at the half torn picture on the floor. I picked it up and recognized Elizabeth standing next to Damon, there was a hand on her shoulder and it didn't seem like it belonged to Damon but to the person at the right side of which I couldn't recognized.What gave off the gender of the unknown person beside Elizabeth was the rugged look of his hand, the other side that held the person's face was torn out perfectly.It baffles me how every clue I get always end up being torn, who ever is doing this must have a skill for tearing up things.My mind can't be at rest with every dead end I meet each time I am one step close in fixing the puzzle.There was a knock on my door which made me hide the diary and picture under my bed and quickly threw the duvet on myself and pretended like I was asleep.The door to my room opened wide as I couldn't help looking, I closed my eyes shut when I saw Damon walk in, he locked the door behind him before
What was going wrong with me? Here I was looking at this handsome brute with a strong desire for him to take me on his bed right now. I can't point out this sudden attraction and why? I know that I never saw him in this kind of way before and never thought that I ever will but today was really different.He showed so much care even after getting angry at the dinner table an action that put me off..... All this thought was done while I stared at his lips."If you going to keep staring at my lips at least you should tell me what was so important that you had to say" he said."Ah...." I mumbled as I tried to shake off such lust full thought from my head. "It was nothing" I said without knowing, my eyes widened at my response. "I mean.... It's about your heirloom......""What about it? Have you decided to return it""No!" I said out of annonyance. "I mean, I never took it in the first place" I tried to correct myself while still standing my ground.
Xander couldn't recover from what he had heard, he had a frown on his face that show how displeased he was. I moved closer to him and held his hand. "How about we both some fresh air" I said to him.He looked at me and nodded. We walked to the swimming pool area and sat there for a while not saying a single word to each other. I knew he had a lot say and pour out, I just need to be patient and wait till he was ready to talk, who knows he might end up speaking about the obvious rivalry between Elizabeth and Alicia and also the supposed relationship the four of them shared.I was so engrossed in my thought that I didn't notice Xander looking at me with a smile, what caught my attention was when he rubbed his hands on mine which were still interlocked."You look beautiful under the sun" he said, I could tell he was flirting with me and something in me wanted to play along, I mean what's the worst that could happen and considering we are just getting to know each ot
Damon glared at Xander with utmost hate in his eyes, it was obvious something was up between but it was tell what it. There was the idea Xander wanting to take over Damon's company but I know that this hate goes way beyond that."I guess now I can get the respect I deserve, little brother" Xander said and my eyes widened.What!"Will you two cut it out!" Beatriz banged on the table and Damon exited the room. I had not a single clue what was going on.Little brother? Damon is Xander's little brother? I cannot believe this.Beatriz covered her face and laid her head on the table, she took out a napkin and then she started crying. I could feel her sadness despite not knowing everything, I took her to her room and laid her on the bed.When I was about to leave the room she stopped me by saying, "Let's talk, Priscilla". I on the other hand was open for any discussion to understand more on all this melt down going on.She sat up, taking out
I rolled back and forth trying to feel the softness of the bed, it's been so long since I have felt this relaxed. I covered my with the duvet on my bed to share my eyes from the incoming sunlight that was creeping through the window.I was too lazy to get off from bed, infact all week I have been really lazy. Damon had been the one doing all the work, from bringing my early morning breakfast to my lunch and then guiding me down to eat dinner.He was overdoing it and I know. He was doing all this and more since the incident that happened on Friday which was partly my fault, I didn't get harmed but he got scolded and I guess he still feels guilty up to this point. I don't care how he was feeling as long as he was nice to me.I finally got out of the bed but lazily strolled to the balcony which was high up above the swimming pool area and you could see trees from up there, the mansion was indeed in a remote area with only the birds to accompany you.
Damon threw his eyes away from my left boob before I felt ashamed as how exposed it was. He walked into the shower with his business suit on despite knowing the fact that the lady in there was very much naked.He stepped out again to get her a towel so she could cover herself with before he went back to his room to get his own bathrobe. The lady probably in her mid twenties sat on the bed in her room exchanging shy glances with me.In no time Damon returned and led the lady out of the room. I took my bath and left the room as well.Damon confirmed he was indeed taking me somewhere but the lady who was with us was also in the car as well, the more I looked at her, the more I found out who she was. She was the lady that was with Damon the other day, who was on a tight bun and a primitive glasses, she looked different with her hair loose.He laid his hand on hers before he whispered something into her ears, she smiled and nodded before they both
Smack! Xander held his face with his hands. "All throughout last year I wondered why suddenly Damon who was to marry Alicia suddenly chose to marry that girl" Beatriz said, her eyes getting watered with her tears which she wiped away Immediately. "So Damon was covering for you all this time and what was the last thing about the child not being his, who else could it have been......" Beatriz paused to have a deep thinking. Her eye brows furrowed at her sudden conclusion. "It is yours?" She said as if she was a little doubtful. "I had no idea Beth was planning to have a wedding, yes we loved each other but back then I didn't know, I admit that I did get the invitation but I never read it and that was the day I left" Xander admitted stepping back to rub his cheeks further ignoring her last question. "And the child? Tell me it's Damon's" Beatriz gripped Xander's hands in exasperation, her finger nails piercing deep into his skin.
