Damien's POV.

"I'll sleep on the couch," I stated, making my way toward the gray-colored couch.

"Why would you subject yourself to such discomfort after everything you've been through?" Mercedes exclaimed, staring at me in disbelief. "I was just teasing you before, you don't have to take what I said seriously,"

"I had already decided before we came in here. It won't be the first time that I've slept on a couch, so it's nothing uncomfortable," I sighed, running my hand through my blood-stained hair.

"Damien, I know that you've hardly slept on a couch and since you're injured, you should lay on something softer like the bed. I don't agree with you sleeping on that uncomfortable couch," She argued, walking towards me.

"Why are you so resistant to sleeping on the bed with me? Don't you remember how we used to sleep on the same bed without touching each other?"

I wasn't interested in going down memory lane. I just wanted to treat my wound, get some rest, and then go to the police stat

    Elise's POV. I was with Damien's secretary in the car and we were headed to the cemetery. I hadn't visited Natalie's grave for a while now."What time is it?" I asked Fernanda."It's twenty-eight minutes after four," Fernanda replied after checking her watch."What is the time in Paris?" I inquired, facing her.Fernanda checked her phone and responded, "Paris is nine hours ahead, so it's almost 2 am,""I told Damien to call me anytime he wants to sleep, why hasn't he called me yet," I asked, my voice laced with worry. "I always get confused about the time. I hope he's okay,""You should call him," Fernanda said."Yeah, I'll call him," I muttered and unzipped my bag to retrieve my phone. "Where's my phone?" I asked and pouted when I didn't see it."You must have forgotten it at the office," Fernanda said and I recalled how I left it on the table."How could I be so forgetful and careless?" I asked and chided myself in anger."It wasn't your fault, you were quite busy," She muttered a

    Elise's POV. "Roman!" I called out his name. "Did you do something, Damien?" I asked, fear creeping into my voice."I didn't do anything to him! Why would I even hurt him?" He retorted."You have every reason to harm him. I know that you still have feelings for me and you think he's the only one stopping you from being with me," I said, my voice trembling. "Damien hasn't been picking up my calls for a while. What have you done to him!" I cried out and threw the flowers at him. He flinched a bit and gave me a surprised look. "I didn't do anything to him," He repeated. "If you have done nothing to him, then how did you know his location? I don't recall telling you anything and it's not like his trip was made public," I raised my voice, my eyes gradually stinging with tears. I couldn't bear the thought of something happening to Damien. He was all I had and without him, I had no other purpose of living. "Roman, say something!" "I knew he was heading there because his company is par

    Elise's POV.These pictures couldn't be real, could they? Damien never mentioned anything about Mercedes. He never said that he met her over there. These photos had to be fake, but what if they weren't?Damien stopped picking up my calls for a while. Then he messaged me about his things being stolen. He also used a strange number and then instructed me not to call it. Why would he give me such instructions?"Elise, are you okay?" Roman asked.I glanced at him and murmured, "Please excuse me,"I stepped away from him and called the number that Damien used in messaging me. It rang for a while and then a feminine voice answered.'Hello,' she said. 'Who is this?'That voice certainly belonged to Mercedes. I didn't know how to feel about this, but I wanted to trust Damien. We had been through a lot together and I doubted that he would want to throw all those years away.I quickly ended the call and inhaled a deep breath. I decided not to dwell on the photos.

Although I could have just gotten one of the designers from Damien's company to create something spectacular for me, it was a little too late for that. "Look at that dress, it looks gorgeous," Fernanda muttered, pointing at a red colored dress with unique patterns on it.We walked closer to the dress and a smile brimmed on my lips. "You are right. The dress is gorgeous and I love the patterns on it," I smiled, trailing my fingers on the dress.I took it off the mannequin, completely impressed by its unique features.

As I walked into the courtroom with my disowned parents, I recalled what they had told me. Father told me to trust him after he discovered the cop was arrested. He insisted that the video was real, making me hate him more. I hated him more than I hated the devil because he was worse. How could he act so passionately about avenging my sister when he was the perpetrator? How could he look like my mother in my eyes and pretend to be a supportive husband? I doubted that my mother knew anything about his crime. She must have believed his accusation against Damien, because why would he rape his daughter? Except she wasn't.

She had already gone through some training and gotten stronger than before. She wasn't going to allow anyone to trample on her again. "You bastard!" She suddenly kicked his groin with her knee and stepped on his foot. He screamed and she used the opportunity to push him to the floor. The moment he fell, she ran away from the room. She called the attention of other officers and he was arrested. He denied the allegations she leveled against him, but he couldn't deny his crimes again when the CCTV footage was played. Elise watched how they took him to a cell and she was so happy about it. "Since he's in jail, I don't think there's any need to get the video.

    Author's POV. "Go to hell, Damien," Roman spat. "Yes, captain," Damien mocked and left the detention room. Roman turned his gaze to the direction Demirn left and felt very upset. He didn't achieve his aim, which was berating and mocking Damien. "Why does it seem like he was expecting me?" Roman asked himself and frowned. "He was saying the right words and his tone was so dark. I hope he isn't monitoring me in some way or digging up some dirt on me," Roman became a bit suspicious, but then he kicked out the thought. He doubted that Damien would know much about his past and since he had enough money, it would be easy for him to escape punishment. "I can't let that bastard upset me," Roman cleared his throat and unbuttoned his shirt. "He's the one in jail not me, he should be worried not the other around," His words were more like a comfort for him, but deep down he couldn't help being nervous. "Fuck," He cussed, slamming his hand on the table. "I'm going to kill that bastard in

Then acted like a savior towards Elise, taking advantage of her naivety."How could he have done that to a little girl? What sort of person is he?" Elise asked herself, slowly dropping to her knees.

Elise questioned in a tone mixed with confusion and annoyance. "I don't understand you,"She suddenly shifted her gaze from the cop to the people beside him, and her eyes widened a bit. "Mother, father," She gasped at the sight of them, then regretted calling them by those names.She promised not to do that after they mocked her over her downfall during the disappearance of Natalie.
