โI'm sorryโThose were the only words I could say. โThe woman you loved? She still loves you, she still looks at you the way she used to but you don't see itโHis hands slipped away from me. He pressed his back against the wall beside me. His expression was downcast. He was scared. I could see it in his eyes. I Wish I could hug him and tell him everything was going to be okay. But was it? I wasn't Elizabeth anymore. We have lost each other. โI should go,โ I said, turning to leave. Suddenly, my phone rang. I reached into my pocket pulling it out. It was an unknown number. โHello?โ I said, answering the call and pressing the phone against my ear. โHello, Ms.Blackwood. This is the police, we called to let you know that Mr Raymond and Ms Paige have been put into custody. Would you like to meet Them?โMy jaw clenched. โYesโI hung up, turning to face Damien. โI will stay away from Elizabeth, from you,โ I bowed my head. โI'm sorry for all the trouble I have caused.โWith that, I turn

I swallowed nervously, my fists clenched tight.โI misspoke,โ I managed to let out, my voice barely above a whisper. โI was too excited, I misspoke,โ I said, hoping to God that he would believe these words. His gaze was unwavering, cold in fact almost as if he could see through my lies.โShe told you about Adam and you think you can trust him? He was a killer for hire once you knowโI sighed, sinking back into my seat thankfully, he didn't ask any more questions about Elizabeth and me. โA killer hire that you managed to tame. I trust her judgment.โHe pulled his phone out of his jacket and handed it to me. โPut your contact in here, I will text Adam's details to youโโOh no, it's okay. You already gave me his contact a while ago, remember?โ I said pushing the phone away. His brow furrowed, his head tilting to the side.โI did?โI froze. Fuck, I did it again. I suddenly burst into loud laughter. It wasn't real and it was obvious. โI was just pulling your legs,โ I said, taking the p

Damien jumped out of my car as soon as we stopped at the hospital, he panted, running as fast as his legs could carry him. And of course, I was right behind him.โElizabeth!โ He growled rushing into the room. โElizabeth?!โI rushed him after him, my gaze sweeping across the room. โWhere is she?!โ He barked at the doctors.My gaze caught a figure in the bed, wrapped from head to toe with a sheet. My hand flung to my mouth as I gasped. That was Elizabeth.The doctor's expression was solemn. โI'm sorry Mr. Davenport, we tried everything we could butโฆwe lost herโMy heart skipped a bit at his words. Elizabeth isโฆ.dead? โWhat did you say?โDamien asked, his voice barely above a whisper. โI'm sorry, sir; She lost too much blood from her stab wound.โโThen give her blood! I will pay whatever you ask for, do you need my blood?โ He stretched his hand towards the doctor. โHereโ he breathed heavily. โTake mine!โThe doctor gave him a pitiful look. โI'm sorry sirโDamien's knees buckled as he

Paris*~~Vannesa~~We arrived in Paris a few hours ago and settled in a hotel. The hotel, so big, had three restaurants with the best good anybody could think of and fortunately. Mr. Alexandro Louis had rented out one of the restaurants for privacy. โThank you for accepting to partner with my company, Mr. Alexandra,โ I said, extending my hand for a handshake.โYou deserve it,โ he said, accepting my handshake. โI like how you think, I believe we will work really well togetherโI pushed my chair back standing up from my seat. His brow raised. โWhere are you going?โโOhโฆwe are done with the meeting, aren't we? I'm going back to my suite.โโYou don't have to do that,โ he said, standing up. โWe can have dinner together.โโI'm really exhausted,โ I said, declining his offer. โMaybe some other time then, please?โHe nodded, โOf course, I will walk you back to your suite,โ he said, stretching his hand out to me. I hesitated for a moment. It felt like he was making advances towards me and it

~~Vanesaa~~ I know Damien asked me not to avoid him, but how could I not? He Is my past love who no longer knows who I am, I would only be hurting myself if I stuck around him. I didn't need a soothsayer to tell me that I still loved him as much as I did in the past; I only learned to live without him. And as I have said before, I planned to enjoy my stay in Paris, and that was what I was going to do, and how better to do that than to go drinking in a bar. I heard a bar a few minutes from the hotel. โLe verre enchanteโ means the enchanted glass. Who wouldn't want to check it out?.I was dressed in a hoodie and sweatpants, the hood carefully placed over my head. My gaze cautiously swept across the place as I made my way out of the hotel; if the universe was on my side, I wouldn't run into Damien. โVannesa,?โ I heard Damien say. โArgh!โ I yelled in shock as I turned to face him. I wanted to tell him that I wasn't Vanessa, but who was I kidding? He had already seen me. โWhere are

~~Damien~~โVanessa! Vanessa!? I growled, my eyes moving frantically in search of her. There was a narrow street by the side of the bar, There was muffled laughter from the distance filled by the weak groan of a lady. โVannesa?โ I muttered as I rushed towards the direction of the sound. The sounds of their laughter and Vanessa's groaning grew louder as I approached. As I finally approached the corner in which they stood, I saw that they had ripped one of her hoodies and flung it onto the floor. One of them had his hand wrapped around her waist and the other gripping her ass. โTake off her bra, I will take a pictureโ The other laughed, bringing out a phone from his pocket. โWhat did I say would happen to you if you ever laid your hands on her?โ I asked, my jaw clenched. They turned to look at me in shock. โRun along foreigner, if you do not want any troubleโ I licked my lower lip in anger. โStep away from herโ is instructed. One of them stepped away from her, a scoff escaping

**THE NEXT MORNING.**~~Vanessa~~I woke up with a blasting headache. How much did I have to drink?Wrapping my hands around my head, I slid out of bed and headed for the bathroom. โYou are awake,โ I heard Damien's raspy voice behind me. My eyes widened, and I gasped, spinning around to look at him. โWhat are you doing here?โ I asked in shock, my heart racing โWhy are you in my bed!?โ Just then I realized. I looked down at myself, my hands instinctively wrapping around meโWhy am I naked?!โโYou got drunk last night,โ He said, slipping out of bed. He was Shirtless!โSo?!โโSo the lady who worked there called me to come get youโMy body curled in embarrassmentโWhy would she do that?โโDo you remember anything that happened last night?โ He asked his brow furrowed. I shook my head. โNoโโThat's whyโ He responded, his voice dripping with sarcasm. โPromise that you will never go to a bar and drink like that next time?โ He asked, his expression suddenly turning serious. โWhy do you

How?It all felt so unreal. โMelisa Davenport!โ I said rushing towards the startled receptionist. โMy wife was taken here this morning I want to see herโโThe suicide victim?โ A lady behind me asked. I turned to face her, and my brow furrowed. โSuicide?โโI'm a mortician, the blond lady who took her own life and was taken here this morning is your wife, isn't she?โ She asked. โYes,โ I nodded. โIt's her, she committed suicide?โโYes, she did, she slit her wrist and bled out, why would she do that? Has she been showing signs of depression?I shook my head. โNoโShe hasn't but I knew why she did it. Because of me, she died because I left her side to be with Vanessa. My fists clenched. She died because of me, I left even though I knew she had mental issues. I ..killed her. ~~Vannessa~~Even though I had assigned Karol to sign the documents there were still a ton for

โVanessa, please,โ I begged, gently pulling away from her grasp.As I approached the door, something struck me from behind. I froze. Slowly, I turned to see her shoe on the ground. My head sprang up to look at her, my brows knitting together.โDid you just throw your shoe at me?โShe sobbed. โYes, what do you have to do? Do you want to hit her? Give her more reasons to lock you up?โShe breathed shakingly. โIt's our wedding night Damien, we should be together, so don't walk out on meโMy jaw clenched as I approached her. She immediately took a step back, fear flickering in her eyes. .โWhat are you doing?โ She ran across the room. โAre you angry? I'm sorryโ She begged. As I drew closer, she took off her other shoe, throwing it at me, but I caught it. โStop!โ She cried covering her face.โOuch, Vanessa, did you think I was going to hurt you?โ I asked, pulling her hands away from her face. She looked at me, her eyes still wet from tears.โYou are not?โMy jaw tightened even more, my g

As the nurse led me to Katherine's room in the hospital my fists clenched. I have not seen her in years. She must have changed a lot, but still carrying a grudge from years ago?Sigh. โIn here, sir,โ The nurse said, reaching for the door. โStopโShe paused, turning to look at me. โLeave, I want to go in aloneโ I instructed. She nodded, turning to leave. My fists loosened as I reached for the door. I exhaled sharply and pulled it open. โKatherine,โ I muttered as My gaze caught her lying on the bed. Her gaze shifted to me, her eyes widening in surprise. โWell, this is a surprise,โ She groaned, sitting up on her bed. โI knew you would come running to save your son but I didn't know you would come here so soonโโKatherine,โ I said, walking towards her. โWhat do you think you are doing to my family?Her jaw clenched. โYour family?โ She scoffed. โSoon, there will be no one for you to call family, and I will end you!โ She snapped.

I needed to find Katherine and settle things between us before it got out of hand. ~~Vanessa~~I sat in the bathtub filled with water. My eyes closed as I thought about Damien.

How did my life get like this? I was a complete mess and I knew it. I heard footsteps approach the room; excited, I jumped out of bed. โDamien?โ I said pulling the door open. He smiled weakly at me. โHow did you know it was me?โโYou are the only one who comes up here,โ I said, wrapping my hand around him in a tight hug. He lifted me up in his arms. Wrapping my legs around him. โHow is Wayne?โ I asked her and walked into the room, placing me carefully on the bed. โVanessaโ He breathed against my lips, his eyes searching mine. โHow are you?โโI'm fine, Damien; I have to be,โ he pushed me, causing my back to lay flat on the bed, and climbed onto me. โAre you scared?โ He asked.โRaymond doesn't s

โStay in the hospital for a while,โ My mother instructed. My brow creased. โWhat?โ I muttered. โMake her feel obligated to take care of you when she does that, she will feel a bond to you, the man who took a bullet for her, and then you can't get close to Damien remember the plan and stick to it Wayne, make it look realโI exhaled sharply. โOf course MotherโโDo not disappoint me, Wayne,โ โYes, Mother,โ But before I could say anything more before I could finish, the line went flat.

We are thriving without them; only my mother cares for revenge, and I'm tired; I just want her to love me. Is that too much to ask?~~Vanessa~~Damien rented out an entire restaurant opposite the hospital. โDamien, you shouldn't have done this; other people need to eat, too,โ I said pretending that I was

Two of them rushed in with a stretcher in their hand. โI am over here!โ I cried. They rushed towards me and I quickly pulled away from Wayne to let them do their job. โVanessa!โ Damien growled, rushing into the place. My head turned to see him, his eyes searching frantically for me. โDamien?โ I yelled rushing towards him. He wrapped me up in a tight hug, his hug telling me words that his mouth couldn't say. โBlood,โ he said, his voice barely audible as he pulled away to look at my hands. โIt's Wayne's blood,โ I said quickly.
