All Chapters of Taming My Best Friend's Uncle: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

JeanetI've been lying in bed for about 20 minutes with the lights off. I finally admit to myself that I was getting close to liking Damien, and that scares me, but I'm grateful for Rachel anyway. My phone rings, and I frown at Damien's name on my screen. "What?" I frown as I take the call, as if he can see me. "There's no need to be rude," he says from the other end of the line, his voice filled with amusement. "What do you want, Damien?""You like me," he says matter of factly. "I do not like you," I hiss. "Why did you have a panic attack when you saw me with Rachel?" "Because I hate your girlfriend, okay?" I hang up without giving him the opportunity to respond. The door knob turns, almost startling me. I didn't hear any footsteps. I sit up and quickly wipe off my tears. Then, I clap to turn the light on. Whoever is on the other side of the door stops, and I head towards the door. "Linda?" I stand on the other side of the door, waiting for her to say something. She doesn'

JeanetThe boss lady's rings, and then she speaks in a calm tone and expressionless face. After hanging up, she sighs as she stares at me. "I still don't understand why." She shakes her head. "Are you blackmailing him?" She raises her eyebrows, waiting for me to respond. I point at the tape on my mouth. "You are pretty, I admit that, but you are not captivating."She turns to my kidnappers, who are standing on the side and watching me with curious looks. "Remove her tape, I want to ask her a few questions." The kidnapping lady walks towards me and removes the tape as if she's removing a wax strip. I almost scream in pain, but I manage to keep it together. I refuse to give her the satisfaction that she hurt me. "So..." The boss lady smirks. "Are you blackmailing him?" "I'm not blackmailing him." I hold up my chin defiantly."Oh! Feisty, I see," she chuckles. "I never expected this."I've been tied to this chair for closer to a day, I'm exhausted and thirsty, but I can't sleep or dri

JeanetI was led to a dark room in the basement for my disobedience, and I've been sitting in here, I don't know, for how long. In this room, at least I can move around, but it feels more like a prison cell. The boss lady, whoever her name is, reminded me over and over again that I should be grateful to Damien or I would regret trying to run away.I hear footsteps, and I rush to the mattress to sit and look innocent. The light is switched on, hurting my eyes, and both the kidnappers are standing in the doorway."You have no idea how much I'm tempted to put a bullet through your head." The guy looks at me, his face marred with disgust. "I would've done it if everyone weren't so afraid of Damien. You know, it really feels as if everyone practically worships that traitor.""Come on, we need to be patient. We will destroy him one day, and at least we know who we are going to use to do that." She places her hand around my arm, deliberately causing me pain. I wince, but I don't say a word.

JeanetThe breakfast table is quiet, and I can see the way that Damien is shifting uncomfortably in his seat that he sort of wishes that he wasn't in this room. It's just the sound of forks and knifes and plates. I also don't even know what to say to make this less awkward. "That is crazy! How could you do this to me?" Linda is crying at the breakfast table."I don't have a choice, Linda.""But it's safer here than it is out there, why would you do something like that?" She looks from me to Damien. "Unless my uncle paid you again. Did he?""I understand you are upset, but you don't have to say such hurtful things.""I'm sorry," she mumbles. "It's okay," I chime in."But tell me, what are you going to do out there by yourself?" Her voice breaks. "I'll figure it out?" I half-ask."Please, stay. Uncle tell her to stay. Tell her we want her here. You do want her here, don't you?"Damien just nods in response. He doesn’t even look in my direction, and his nod is curt, it's almost unreco

Jeanet"Morning," Damien passes me in the hallway wearing his gym clothes. "Morning," I say, rolling my eyes. Damien walks away, and I call after him. He stops, without turning around to look at me. "I'm so sorry; I didn't mean what I said," I say to him.He sighs and his lips part, but he quickly closes his mouth and walks away. I watch him through the window as he jogs to the gate. Damien turns around and our eyes meet. I try to hide behind the curtains, but somehow they have decided to malfunction, and my brain seems to have forgotten where the remote is. Damien shakes his head, his face unreadable, and he turns around, leaving me fumbling with the curtains. When he comes back from the gym, I try to get out of breakfast by making an excuse about a headache. "But you need to eat, anyway." Linda gazes at me, looking concerned. "I'm fine." I pull the covers up to below my chin. "But you were walking around earlier.""That was before the headache attacked me.""I'll ask Rose to
