Chapter 11I stood there long after the door closed.The silence Damien left behind felt heavier than before, pressing down on me until it became hard to breathe. My chest rose and fell slowly as I stared at the door, half-expecting it to open again.But it didn't.And somehow… that made everything worse.'Because this didn't start last night.'His words echoed in my mind again.My stomach tightened.What did he mean by that?I didn't know him. Not really. And yet… there had been something in the way my body reacted to him. Something instinctive. Familiar. Like my body recognized him even when my mind didn't.That thought unsettled me very much.I ran a hand through my hair, pacing slowly across the room.The space suddenly felt too large.Too quiet.Too unfamiliar.My head still throbbed faintly, as I try to understand everything that's happening or everything that hadn't made sense.I exhaled slowly, trying to steady myself.This was insane.I didn't know where I was.I didn't under

I woke up again to the now slightly familiar bedroom ceiling, my head still throbbing faintly, though not as badly as before.Slowly, I pushed myself up, the blanket slipping down to my waist. The movement made my head spin slightly, forcing me to pause for a moment.I sat there quietly, staring into space as I tried to piece my thoughts together.Then a voice spoke beside me."You're awake."Startled, I turned toward the sound and froze.Damien was sitting on the dark grey sofa across from the bed, one arm resting lazily against the side as he watched me.For a moment, I forgot how to breathe.He looked… stunning.Absolutely stunning.He wore a white long-sleeved shirt with the first few buttons undone, revealing part of his slightly tanned chest.

I asked quietly.Damien's expression hardened instantly."A part of the estate you shouldn't be in for now.""That's not an answer.""No," he agreed calmly. "It isn't."My frustration returned immediately.Every conversation with him felt the same.Questions.Half-answers.More questions.I folded my arms across my chest."You know, normal people usually answer when someone asks them something."Damien stared at me."Normal people usuall
