บททั้งหมดของ The dark side of the moon: บทที่ 31 - บทที่ 40

The dead silence confirmed my theory. Damien was standing near his desk with his back facing me. I held my breath as I waited for him to say anything, without moving from the couch, "It is true," I whispered but the words were not meant for himThe words were meant for me to realize the reality, how my life had turned upside down. "Get out," he said in a slow tone that caused me to shiver.I stood up from my position but did not leave the room instead I tried to poke the wolf, "Damien...""I said GET OUT!" he growled.Startled by the loud voice I ran outside without blinking. 

"He said what?!"  Silver paused the movie and turned to give his whole attention to me. I gave him an awkward smile, the one in which I tried to smile but it ended up looking like an uncomfortable excuse for a smile. "You don't understand," he paused, "Damien never apologizes. All these years I have been through so much trouble because of him but not even once has that man apologized." I shared everything with Silver. It was because of his motivation I confronted Damien, which did not turn out amazing but at least I was no longer throwing darts in the dark. "One sorry does not change anything." "If he is wrong you are not right either," Silver arched his perfectly shaped eyebrows. "Of course you are going to take your friend's side," I scoffed and sat more comfortably on my soft seat. "It is not about taking sides. I am not saying he is infallible, he has made some questionable decisions but you have to try to know

I wiped my hands on the jeans as I looked at the intimidating building in front of my eyes. I thought Damien's mansion was big but the palace was making it look ordinary. So many symmetrically arranged large dark windows on the tall grey walls of stones were staring at me making me feel minuscule. The palace had towers on the right and left ends.The black rumbling clouds floating over the palace were giving it a dark aura. I glanced at Damien who had a cold mask on his face. "C'mon."With a frown, I was looking at his hand in front of me."I am not here by my choice and I am not going inside holding your hand pretending to be a happy couple.""For once can you not make things so hard.""Oh, I am the one...""Guys shut up, I am pretty sure everyone can hear you both," Silver nodded towards the big black door.The door opened slowly and my heart jumped.Damien grumbled somethin

By the time we reached the dining table, everyone was already seated. Damien's father, Roman was the one sitting on the head chair with a stoic face, he glanced in our direction but said nothing. Towards his left, Lilith was sitting with a kind smile on her face.  To my surprise, Amber was sitting in front of Lilith, with a condescending smile on her red lips. She gave a small wave to Damien who did not react and proceeded to sit on the end of the table, opposite his father. There was a new man sitting next to Lilith, he had the same black eyes as her but they were not shining with a smile. He had a bored look on his face, which clearly said he did not want to be here. Well, that makes the two of us, I said in my head while taking a seat next to Damien. For a minute I thought we were late but the large antique clock in the room said otherwise. Maybe everyone was too punctual in this family. The dining room was not what I i

The next day started with Ruhee bringing me breakfast in the room. Apparently, after last night I was not allowed to leave my room without Damien or some other bodyguard but the idea of walking with a stranger following me around sounded bizarre to me. Never thought I would say this, but I was waiting eagerly to go back to Damien's house.Ruhee was sitting quietly looking at the wall with a distant look in her eyes."I am sorry you have to stay inside the room because of me."I moved the knight on the chessboard.She gave a smile, "Don't be sorry. It is good to spend time with you."She moved her last pawn, now her king was not guarded by any pawns."Did you grow up here?" I asked curiously. She seemed to know this palace and even the queen knew her.I moved my bishop two steps to block the next move of her queen."In a way," she gave a short response.Ruhee started twirling the ends of her hair
