Damon Pov
Mornings aren't my favorite. To be factual, I detest mornings, and this is because of the woman I married. Though a married man, I still dream of waking up someday with a woman beside me, no other woman but my wife. Our lives have gotten even more arduous. I used to be the only one whose love was squabbling and trying to make our family work, but now, I feel nothing but disdain for my wife-so I think.
....
The alarm rang loudly making me even more agitated than I am. I tried to put it off but I ended up grumpily shoving it on the floor. My eyes rolled provoked by the mess I made.
I placed my legs on the frigid floor only to be greeted by a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" I screeched at whoever was there. I know for a fact that it would be no other than Grayson or Madeline. It can never be Elysia or the kids. The kids must have gone to school already. And Elysia, certainly won't bother checking on me.
"Sir, it's Rosaline. The police are by the door and request to see Mrs. Elysia, but she isn't coming out sir."
I know I'm not supposed to be thrilled by this but somehow this certainly was making my day. The police are here for Elysia, how perfect.
I scurried out of the room, still in my pajamas. When I opened the door, Madeline's fright welcomed me. I quickly feigned ignorance and a troubled countenance.
"Why are they here?"
"Something about murder." Madeline could barely say the words correctly, but there I was grinning secretly.
"I will check on my wife. You just try to keep them entertained." I ousted her as I veered towards Elysia's room, reciting words in my head that I would shamelessly enunciate in front of her. She was the first to shamelessly cheat on me.
When I opened her door, I saw how spineless she looked. It made me feel even more powerful being in her presence. Knowing that her freedom was on the tips of my fingers made it even so much more entertaining.
When I asked her to beg I craved to see the tears that fall from her eyes as she say the words. She didn't disappoint.
....
Slowly, I walked behind her as she galloped through the stairs. She denied being the one in the video. It was fun to watch.
I didn't have a plan, all I wanted was to watch how well she fibbed, and she did it so perfectly, just like the way she has been fooling me all these years.
I felt a rush of anger permeating deep inside the muscles of my heart, and for that minute I felt like letting the police take her away and lock her up, maybe then, she will learn.
But I couldn't bring myself to do such a thing, not to the woman I love. God damn it, despite being cheated on, I still find myself at her feet. She might not know this, but she owned a parcel of my heart. I couldn't just stop loving her. She is my world, and I am here today all because of Elysia. I can't give up on her yet, I can only pray.
....
"Sir, they are taking her away." Madeline's voice erupted me from my reverie.
I looked around and couldn't find them in the living room.
"Where is Elysia?"
"They've handcuffed her and taken her in custody," Madeline responded.
I rushed out and saw the way the female detective was nudging her head and forcing her into the police van.
'How dare her?'
"Where are you taking my wife?" I shrieked at them.
They all gawked at me like I was some psychopath. I know it's all over the news that my wife had a fanatic, but she was still my wife, and I deliberately didn't make all evidence go away because I wanted to squirm her to my will, and now that I've done that, I can help her fully and make her pay for life.
"We are arresting her base on the evidence we have." The female detective responded.
"I'm sorry, but you have no right to arrest my wife. I didn't permit that. And what evidence are you referring to?" I squealed.
"There is a video of your wife going to the hotel to visit the deceased."
"May I ask where you got the video from?" I asked despite knowing the answer.
"From the hotel." The other officer responded in plight.
"I'm sorry, but that will need to be verified, and until then, you have no right to place handcuffs on my wife." I walked to them and opened the door of the car. Then I brandished Elysia's arm and led her out of the van.
"You are free to come to question her for any details. Even if the video source is proven, until you have solid evidence that my wife was involved in the murder, you have no right to come close to this mansion thinking of arresting her." I warned them.
They looked petrified at my demeanor. They said no words but relinquished the mansion.
My gaze instantly drifted towards Rebecca whose words seemed to be hung on the tip of her tongue.
"Are you alright?" I asked.
"I believe my response is not needed." She wanted to walk away, but then-
"Don't you want to be sure I've sorted this whole thing out?" I asked.
"I know you will." I could hear her teeth gritting as she glared at me.
"So what, you trust me now?"
"I still don't, but I trust you will never let yourself be mocked by the public Damon, I know you." She spat on the ground.
"I see," I smirked and dialed the chief of police contact. Soliciting him for his help to destroy every evidence regarding Jake including the videos at the hotel. That way, the officers in charge won't be able to trace the video they got. There will be no evidence left and then, I can fully make Elysia tend to all my demands.
Elysia Pov"Where are you taking my wife?" I was ravaged until I heard those utterances. I've never thought I'd be cheerful to see Damon but peeking at him in those oversized pajamas through the car's windscreen I've never been this thrilled in a long while. How could my enemy make me feel this way?For the first time, I admired his aura. Ambling towards the van with his brows slanted, and his long curved legs and shimmering silky skin that could make even men ask him for his skincare routine-I felt my lips slowly angling into a smile I found hard to control. My eyes squinted between the detectives. The next element I felt would make this all so lovey-dovey was a hug and kiss from my husband, but hell no! we will never share anything near passionate. I tried to snap out of my thoughts but heavens help me! This man is smoking hot. Perfectly shaped brows, and heart-shaped lips, with almond-shaped bright eyes that caused a tingling sensation between my legs. And to top it all, excludi
Elysia Pov"Madam, Mr. Damon is mandating your presence in his room." My grip tightened around my purse. I was dressed to go and check the company, and if it was affected by the news, but even now I can't seem to do anything, after consenting myself to Damon. My lips warped in a sneer as I whacked the door open and walked straight to Damon's. I didn't bother knocking on the door. He crouched on the sofa, his sleeves unbuttoned and his hair all dripping on his forehead.His tie was loosened and around his neck. His belt was on the sofa, and his pant's unzipped. The room was air-conditioned but I could see beads of liquid on his chest. I stride closer to him, and when he smiled, a drop of water dripped on his nose.'Maybe he just got out of the bathroom.' My lips parted as my eyes slowly trails his abs. He was holding a newspaper but dropped it on the sofa as he slowly stood on his feet. "You just barged in, I know I called for you but a knock on the door would be very polite. Don
Damon's Pov"The CCTV footage has been erased from the server. The detectives won't be able to prove where they got it from." I snickered as I read through the message from Warren I poured from the whiskey bottle beside the sofa on glass and sipped from it.The only thoughts that clouded my mind were the ways I tried devising to make Elysia my slave forever. I am going to dominate her.Suddenly my phone beeped, and when I gazed at it, it was a text from Lucius."Jake and Hector seem to have gotten no information from Elysia. From the information I got, I can tell Elysia was clueless, and Jake might have loved her. But their meeting was indeed planned by Hector, and it seems like they fell apart awhen Jake fell in love with Elysia."I could feel my thumbs slowly tighten around my phone. My teeth gritted as I couldn't help but envision Elysia with Jake.I thought it was mainly an affair, and she only used Jake because she yearned for freedom, but finding out that Elysia and Jake were
Elysia's PovThere was a pregnant silence between us, and for a moment, I felt as though I had bitten the lion's tail. His gaze narrowed further, unleashing his deep-rooted hatred for me. His grip on my arms tightened, making me moan in pain, but he cared less.Suddenly, there was a smirk on his face, a little mild, but it didn't fail to tell me he was enjoying every bit of my suffering. Every bone in my body despised him. The feeling of his breath on my skin made goosebumps appear all over my body as if a beast was holding me down. But that was what he was-a beast.Surprisingly, his grip around my arms loosen. When I fixed my gaze on him, stunned by his action, I caught the mockery in his eyes. This man is planning something devilish. I'm certain, and whatever it was, it was to make me suffer."I guess you’d be happy if we did it in your favorite hotel.” He muttered words that threw me in confusion. My brows crinkled as I watched him dressed up, and suddenly, he gripped my arms,
Damon Pov"Don't you dare try to look like you are some saint. Whore!"I turned the car's engine off just to hear my father shrieking at Elysia. I knew this was inevitable.Before I could leave the car, he struck Elysia on her face, and his fingers were visible on her cheeks."Father!" I yelled at him. "What? You brought this ungrateful bitch as a spouse, and now she has cost us a fortune." My father shrieked at Elysia again."Allow me to handle this. I will trace the accounts and fix this." I pleaded. I glanced at her; her head was lowered. Tears were dripping from her cheeks, and they dropped to the ground. I shouldn't pity her, but somehow, I couldn't stand there and watch my family humiliate her."You better fix this, and if I don't get my money back, she will pay for it. Even if I have to trade her organs, she will pay for the loss caused to this family. I never cared about how you treated my son, I let you be, but now you had to mess with my business. I will not forgive this a
Elysia's Pov."Five, four, three, two, and one."I took a deep breath after counting my fingers, gulping my saliva down my throat so hard that I felt the muscles of my bottleneck stiff. The hell! What just happened?My cheeks felt numb for a moment as I tried to reminisce about what had just happened. Why did my father-in-law feel the need to hit me?I kept asking myself if I would be able to come up with an answer when the only way was to question the man who had just struck my face with his old solid hands. Just then, my mother-in-law interrupted. Looking at her, I could tell she was pleased I got hit. She tried to hide it, but I could see the little smirk playing on her lips, but she likes to feign affection for me.I couldn't help but scoff, and instantly she glared at me but never yelled.She never yells when Damon is there."Then speak to your son and leave Elysia alone. Damon, walk your father inside. You boys can do your business while I take care of Elysia." She dismissed
Elysia's Pov"You have no shame." He spat on the ground and glared at me like I was some whore. "I never wanted to marry you, Damon; you know better that we don't have any relationship between us. So don't treat me like I was some whore." I yelled at him.His brows crinkled, wobbling his head at me. I could see the disgust in his eyes."Get in." He shrieked at me, opening the car's door."I want to visit my parents," I mumbled."There is no way I'm taking you there. Get inside the car." He squealed."Never; why can't I visit my parents after you've brought me to your sick parents' house." I groaned."What did you say?" His demeanor was frightening, and it was as though he was going to strangle me to death.I rolled my eyes, pretending like I didn't utter any words."Did you call me sick?" His father's voice interrupted, and before I could veer to take a glance, I felt his hand strike my face the second time."Get her out of my house, and I don't ever want her feet to touch my premise
Elysia's Pov "Madam, madam." Vamos kept calling Elysia's window but she seemed to have fallen in deep slumber. "Madam!" He shrieked at her and instantly her eyes opened as if she just woke up from a nightmare. "Warren" Elysia's eyes meandered around the couch in the living room. "Shit, I dozed off here." She sighed and placed her feet on the floor. "Evening madam." Warren greeted but she paid him no attention. She head straight to her room, and fast inside the shower. .... I could hear the sound of my bones cracking, my body was sore from the uncomfortable position I had slept in the couch. As I walked out of the shower, I got dressed in a lingerie. Switching off the lights, I plopped on the bed set to fall asleep but suddenly there was a knock on the door. "Who the fuck is that?" I grumbled relaxing for a few minutes before reaching for the door, and to my surprise, it was Damon. He pushed the door widely opened, inviting himself in. His gaze meandering around the room as
