As I got into the car, I tried my best to stop my heart from racing so fast. I tried my best not to touch
my lips as it felt like I could still feel his lips on mine. Oh how I had missed that.
When I saw him earlier, my first thought was to run up to him and hug him while crying on his chest.
I missed him so much but I couldn’t do that. Even though Alicia wasn’t here, I couldn’t risk it.
“You’ll stop working there” Damon suddenly said, turning my attention to him.
“What? No” I muttered with wide eyes.
“I didn’t ask you, ra” He murmured and I red at him.
“I’m not quitting Damon and you cannot make me” I replied. I was sure after today Jasmine and her
friends won’t bother me again so if that’s what he was worried about, he had already taken care of
that.
pride that coaxed through my veins
I had wanted to be angry when he made Jasmine kneel before me but the overwhelming happiness
shocked me. Even though Damon had probably done it for his name and to stop the rumors, it still
meant so much to me.
No one, not even Liam or aunt Amelia had gone through such extremes to punish those that
offended me but then again, it was Damon, he was always extreme.
“Come work with me. I’ll give you your own office and…”
“No1 immediately said and he paused for a while.
“No? You’re acting like I’m giving you a choice” He uttered.
*I’m not working with you. You sent me away didn’t you? Why do you want me to work with you?” I
questioned and he sighed.
“I only sent you a way because you were acting impossible” He replied and I shrugged.
“I don’t care and I like being on my own so leave me alone. We are here, stop the car I murmured
as soon as my house came into view.
I could feel Damian’s eyes on me for I didn’t dare turn towards him.
The car slowly came to a halt in front of the house and I tried opening my door but it was still
locked.
I let out a sigh and turned to Damon with a frown.
“Open the…” My eyes widened as he suddenly pressed his lips against mine. I clenched my fist so
I won’t be tempted to sink my fingers into his hair. Fuck Hoved this, I never wanted it to stop.

“Won’t you invite me in, ra? I am your husband after all” He murmured against my lips and I
knew I should be pushing him away before things got too heated and I wouldn’t be able to stop
myself but I was too tired to fight how I truly felt.
“No, I don’t want your
ur scent lingering in my home” I murmured sincerely. If his scent lingered in that house, I won’t be
able to stop about him although I was sure I would be thinking about him all night now after this
thinking
“Why the sudden change, ra? You were the one who wanted us to act like husband and wife so
why are you acting like this?” His voice was soft and I almost gave in and told him everything but
this secret could cost me everything and I wasn’t ready for that.

“Because I can’t force myself to like you anymore. I tried but couldn’t I lied through my teeth while
trying to avoid his gaze so he wouldn’t
know I was lying.
“If I leave today without entering your home, I’ll forget anything ever happened between us, I’ll
forget about the feelings we both shared and I’ll treat you like a contracted wife. I’ll never contact
you again unless it’s necessary and I promise you, I’ll honour this and no matter what you say or
what happens, I won’t change my mind. Are you sure you won’t invite me in?” He murmured and I
could see he meant every
word.
My lips quivered but I held back the tears, I didn’t want any of that, I wanted things to go back to the
way they were. I wanted to be in his arms again but when he finds out my secret, he’ll hate me and
would probably reject me then.
I couldn’t risk it, I just couldn’t risk it.
“Goodnight, Damon” I muttered as coldly as I could and we both stayed quiet for awhile till he pulled
away and unlocked my door. I felt his my Aura turn cold and unfamiliar and I knew at that moment, I
had lost husband.
I
“Get out” He muttered and I gave him a curt nod before climbing out of the car, into the rain and
Immediately, he zoomed off.
I stood there in the rain for a while, letting my tears get mixed up with the rain as I stared at his car
till it disappeared from my sight.
“I’m sorry Damon” I murmured as I cried bitterly.
“Madam you’re getting drenched in the rain!” One of the maids yelled as they ran towards me with
an umbre.
I let them lead me into the house and they ran me a warm bath while I just stared into space for
what felt like hours as I waited.
Was this all really worth it? Maybe I should just call Damon and tell him the truth?
I reached out for my phone and was about to dial his number when I paused. If I told him, he was
going to hate me more than he probably did now. I couldn’t risk then.
My tears fell on my screen as I began to cry again. This aching in my heart found only be caused by
one thing. Love.
Along the line I had fallen in love with my husband, I had fallen in love with my mate. I tried denying
it for so long but what was the use now? I had lost him already.
“Madam, your bath is really. Pleasee so you don’t catch a fever” One of the maids said and I
sighed.
As soon as I stood up from the bench in the kitchen, I stumbled on my feet and my head suddenly
felt dizzy.
“Madam, are you okay?” Obe of the maids questioned but before I could answer, I fell to the ground
with a loud thud and my head suddenly began to ring
“Madam!” The maids yelled as they ran towards me and tried help
me up.
“We need to take her to the hospital now!” One of them yelled but I shook my head.
“Don’t take me to the hospital,I don’t
It want my husband finding out about this” I muttered before I lost consciousness…
