Brenda sat cross-legged on her bed, folding a pile of clothes. It was a mundane task, but her mind was buzzing with excitement. She hadn’t gone shopping in weeks, aside from her regular trips to the grocery store. As she neatly stacked her clothes, she couldn’t help but think about all the things she wanted to buy.

As Damien and Brenda embarked on a journey to a secluded island, the private jet soared through the azure sky, carrying Damien and Brenda towards their destination. Inside the lavish aircraft, Brenda was unable to tear her eyes away from the opulent interior. Plush leather seats, polished wood accents, the elegant lighting that adorned the cabin, and an array of modern amenities surrounded them. Damien, sitting beside Brenda, noticed the captivated expression on her face and couldn’t help but smile. “I can see you’re quite taken with the jet,” he said, his voice filled with amusement.Brenda’s eyes sparkled with delight as she nodded enthusiastically, she blushed slightly and nodded. “Yes, Damien, it’s absolutely beautiful.

The night was dark and quiet as Brenda and Damien lay asleep in their bed. The soft glow of the moonlight filtered through the curtains, casting a serene ambiance in the room. The air hung heavy with silence as Brenda and Damien slumbered peacefully in their cozy bedroom. But suddenly, the serenity was abruptly shattered by the thunderous echoes of gunshots that jolted Damien awake from his dreams. He sat up, his heart racing, and strained his ears to discern the source of the commotion. Brenda stirred beside him, her eyes fluttering open, bewildered and disoriented.“What was that?” Brenda exclaimed, her voice filled with confusion and concern as she sat up, rubbing her eyes. She looked at Damien, searching for answers.Damien’s face was etched with a mix of fear and determination.

Brenda sat in the dimly lit hospital room, her eyes fixed on Damien’s still form lying in the bed. It had been almost two weeks since the tragic event on the island, the horrifying attack that had nearly claimed both of their lives. Brenda had hidden inside a closet, trembling with fear, while Damien had fought with all his might to survive. The memories haunted her, replaying in her mind like a never-ending nightmare. Who would want them dead? Brenda’s thoughts spiraled, her gaze shifting to the window overlooking the city skyline. The prime suspect that lingered in her mind was Alfred, a man who had relentlessly pursued her, vowing to win her back from Damien by any means necessary. He had even made chilling threats about getting rid of Damien. Though Brenda lacked concrete evidence, her intuition told her that it couldn’t be anyone but Alfred. Alfred seemed capable of such treachery.Thoughts raced through Brenda’s mind, her gaze fixed on Damien’s pale face. Was there someone else?
Damien slowly opened his eyes, squinting against the intense light flooding the room. Overwhelmed, he shut them again, shielding his vision from the blinding brightness. With a feeble attempt, he tried to shift on the bed, but his body felt unnaturally weak, as if all his strength had evaporated. Summoning his determination, Damien mustered the courage to open his eyes once more, this time adjusting to the light. As his gaze wandered, he saw two women slumbering in chairs beside his bed. It was his mother, Mrs. Winston, and his wife, Brenda.A surge of recognition flooded Damien’s senses, and his heart swelled with relief and affection. They had been by his side all this time, keeping a vigil while he lay in his comatose state. He attempted to sit up, longing to reach out to them, but his weakened body thwarted his efforts.

The hospital discharge was a long-awaited moment for Damien. After weeks of recovering from the attack, he was finally going home with Brenda, his devoted wife. Damien sat in a wheelchair, his body weakened by the injuries sustained during the assault. Brenda stood behind the wheelchair, ready to push him into their house. As they entered the familiar surroundings of their home, Damien’s irritation began to build. The doctor had warned him about the importance of minimizing movement to avoid reopening his stitches, but he couldn’t shake off the feeling of weakness that came with being in a wheelchair. The frustration bubbled up inside him, and he couldn’t hold it in any longer.“Stop,” Damien commanded abruptly, his voice laced with irritation.Brenda paused, her eyes filled with concern. “What’s the matter, Damien?” she asked gently, hoping to understand his sudden change in mood.Ignoring Brenda’s question, Damien made an attempt to rise from the wheelchair. He was determined to pro
The dimly lit bedroom provided a sanctuary for Damien and Brenda as they sought solace in each other’s presence. Moonlight cast a soft glow through the bedroom window. The weight of Damien’s father’s unexpected visit still lingered heavily on their hearts. They sat on the edge of the bed, their hands intertwined, seeking comfort and reassurance amidst the turmoil.Damien’s mind was filled with worry, his thoughts swirling like a tempest. How had his father come to suspect that their marriage was merely an arrangement? The gradual blossoming of their love seemed to be overshadowed by the looming threat of his father’s disapproval.

However, a steadfast belief in his mother’s integrity compelled him to discard such suspicions. She had always been a woman of her word, and Damien trusted her implicitly.Driven by curiosity, Damien had reached out to his mother earlier to inquire abo
