ELISAThe room was silent, Damon finally calmed down, he was sitting down beside me refusing to let go of my hand.His reaction was weird, but I wanted to know why, no one acts like this without a reason."What's going on?" I finally asked, the tension and anxiety were killing me inside."Did my parents say anything?" He asked instead, not giving me the reply I wanted."You came just before they did." I answered after taking in a deep breath before my response.I really need him to talk to me, truthfully and come clean, his anger this afternoon, it felt like it was directed at me but not me at the same time."Then why did you leave?" He inquired starting to get on my nerves a bit."You held on my wrist too tight despite me struggling with you, I felt if I stayed you might end up doing something that we will both hate."I just needed some time out.Damon looked stunned, and looked at my wrist, caressing the faded red spot."That woman called me the devil right?" Damon spoke after a whi
DAMONI finished work early I decided to head to the restaurant Elisa said she would be having her meeting so I could surprise her by picking her up.Time went by and I didn't see Elisa walk out neither did I see her walk into the place.I got out of my car and scanned the parking lot, her car was nowhere to be found neither was Amber's.Fishing out for my phone and went through the text once more, the restaurant's name was correct, or did she make a mistake and sent the wrong thing?Since I wanted to surprise Elisa I just called up Amber instead."Good day sir." She greeted in a professional tone and I hummed in response."Do have the address for the meeting Elisa is currently in?" I asked, getting back into my car ready to move the moment I got the address."A meeting? The CEO had her schedule cleared up after lunch, so I'm afraid I'm unaware if she fixed something in place after that."Amber explained causing me to frown as I cut off the call, something was not right.Elisa has no
ELISA"You don't believe us do you?" Damon's mother stated, probably seeing the question for their sanity written all over my face.I mean you can't blame me though."Well you can't blame me." I shot back ready to leave when the door was opened with an incredible amount of force."Stay away from my wife." Damon glared at his parents before grabbing me by the wrists, pulling me out of the private room."Damon." I called out for him, my hands ached, he was gripping on way too tight."You shouldn't have gone to them Elisa, at least not without me or someone else." Damon stated still dragging me out of the restaurant, I stopped resisting as I didn't want any eyes on us as we go out.He took me to where his car was parked before letting go of me.I glanced at my husband and then at my reddened wrists, I couldn't help but feel wronged."Get in." Damon demanded, opening the car door but I stood still."Get in Elisa." He demanded once more through gritted teeth."I came with my car, I'll leav
ELISA I got to work and Amber greeted me right at the entrance but my mind was too preoccupied to concentrate on whatever she was saying, if the meeting today works out I should be able to find out what Damon went through at home."Did you clear my schedule after lunch?" I asked Amber for the umpteenth time and she nodded in response.I was nervous, glancing at the ticking clock over and over again.As soon as the time hit 1pm, I jumped from my seat and packed all my things into my bag, swiftly sending a text to Damon that he need not pick me up today as there was a meeting at some restaurant down town.He replied with a sticker that said 'aye ma'am' making me smile a bit, the tension I had been feeling earlier dissipated a little.Anything to make him feel at ease and happy, I mean the man had already done so much for me, it was time for me to do the same.I got into my car and then sped to the café mentioned in the text.When I got there, my eyes scanned the whole place when anothe
ELISAI woke up as Damon got up from the bed, I wanted to follow after him but I held myself back, my mind spiraling with different scenarios as I tried to predict what could be going on in that head of his.He was open at the the same time secretive about what his family did to him.Taking in a deep breath I collected my thoughts and soon after Damon re-entered the room, tip toeing back to the bed.Laying down, he kissed my forehead while tracing my hairline with his thumb."I promise to protect you and our marriage, I'm not going to let them ruin this as well, I promise."He kissed my forehead once more before carefully returning to the cuddle, I know he said out that out loud but they sounded like words of affirmation.Like he wanted to assure himself everything would be as he planned.How I wish he would let me help, a problem shared was half solved wasn't it?Or did I prove to be a spouse he couldn't rely on in such situations?Shaking off that thought I tried to think positive,
DAMONThe whole place was quiet after Justin and Jenna left.Elisa and I agreed to avoid sleepovers to prevent them walking into me having one of those moments.Thankfully, no question was asked by the couple, and they willingly complied to the rule.We were in the bedroom, my head on Elisa's lap, her hand running through my hair, when I heard her sigh."It would soon be time right?" She asked, concern evident in her voice."Yes." I answered, waiting without doing anything was somehow nerve wrecking but he approached Elisa the first time, I don't want that monster hurting her, I'll rather go through the ringing ear and immense headache."I'm worried Damon." Elisa said, almost like a whisper causing me to furrow my brows."What's wrong? I'll be fine, I promise." I soothed, was it because of my parents?"I keep having these weird dreams, something keeps telling me you're going to die when the times up."As much as I wanted to act unbothered by that to ease her concerns, my body couldn't
