Married To The Devil Chapter Thirteen
Conrad and I dated for almost three years, and not once had I met his family. “My father is barely in the country anymore. Even I don’t get to see him that much, and I’m his son!” He had once complained to me when I had asked him about meeting his father and why I had not done it. “My mother is just as busy as my father, even if she’s in the country. We can’t always catch her. We have all the time in the world, Lauren. You can meet her anytime because I’m not going anywhere,” he had assured me again when I brought up the topic of meeting his mother. Every other event of meeting the parents after that would always lead to an argument, and Conrad was a brilliant man. He would make sure that he twisted the narrative, even to me. He would accuse me of not trusting him and being too clingy and obsessed, and sometimes I believed him. Now, just three months into screwing my best friend, he had told his uncle about her and was bringing her to a family event.
Married To The Devil Chapter Fourteen
“It’s so refreshing to see you for two whole days in a row, don’t you think?” Katarina laughed as she carelessly flung her arms around Damien’s neck in a loud display. “It feels just like old times, this rare sight.” “Alright, Katarina,” Damien said, pulling away from the hug and taking her hands off. “I’m sure you’ve met my fiancée, Lauren.” “Ah, yes!” Katrina exclaimed. “The one who’s old enough to drink, or so she claims. The entire family is just dying to meet you.” “Why are you here?” Damien asked as she walked with us down the long hallway. As if he could sense the tension I felt, he took my hand and made small, soothing circles on the back of my hand to silently assure me that it would be okay. “Last I checked, I was told that it would be a family-only gathering.” “I’m almost like family to you, Damien. It’s quite insulting that you don’t see me that way. Your sister invited me, anyway,” she replied in her defence. At the sound of that,

“She used to be my girlfriend.” “What?!” Deirdre, Conrad’s mother, was the first one to exclaim at Conrad’s confession as everyone else at the table looked at me. “Damien, did you know about this?” Darla questioned, searching for answers from her brother’s face. “I don’t believe you knew that the woman you’re about to marry was your nephew’s girlfriend. How does that sound to you…” Darla paused with what she was saying to her brother so that she could look at me. “And you? Did you not know that they were related? How old are you exactly?” “She didn’t know. We only found out about the connection just yesterday” Damien defended me. “Now, can we have our meal in silence, please?” “Not just yet,” Deirdre said before I got the chance to sigh in relief. She turned to Conrad with raised eyebrows, the entire table falling silent as we all waited for something to happen. “And are you okay with this? Did something bad happen between you two?” Not wantin

I didn’t know what to feel as I watched Shirley and Conrad celebrate that he had just given her a ring and asked her to marry him. I felt a gentle squeeze on my knee, reminding me that Damien was still sitting beside me. “If you want to leave, we can stand up and make an excuse,” he whispered in my ear, but that was the last thing I wanted to do. It would be an admission of defeat, and I had to get used to the fact that Conrad was never going to regret what he did, and neither was Shirley. “It’s fine,” I assured him, turning back to the couple as everyone still cheered and congratulated them so that I could tell them with a smile, “Congratulation, you two.” “Thank you,” Shirley answered for them as she looked at the ring on her finger and made a squealing sound, hugging Conrad once again. “It looks like we have two weddings to plan. Which one do you think is coming sooner?” Deirdre asked nobody in particular, looking around the table and waiti

“Mom?” I called with my ear still pressed against the phone, even though I knew that she had hung up the phone. “Mom, I really do have the money. I’m not going to call the police.” “What did she say?” Damien asked me, noticing that my mother had hung up the phone and I was practically talking to a ghost now. He walked over to me and took the phone, looking at the screen to make sure there was nobody on the other side. “Call her back. Maybe you can let her know that we have the money. She doesn’t seem to believe me. She probably thinks that I’m just trying to trick them so that I can get them arrested.” Damien wasted no time in dialling the number and placing the phone against his ear, rubbing my shoulder reassuringly. “She’s not responding,” he reported, dialing the number again, frowning the second time as he looked at me. “It’s not going through anymore. I really think we should go along with my suggestion and really get the police involved if you
Married To The Devil Chapter Eighteen
I stared at detective Spencer for almost a full minute before I could gather enough strength to speak. It was one thing for his family to not approve of the relationship I had with Damien, but a whole detective who barely knew the happenings inside of Damien’s life telling me that was something I had to be cautious about. “I don’t understand. If there’s something you think I should know before going through with this marriage, you need to tell me. You’re a cop, so it would be on you if you hid something that could possibly be a danger to me,” I reminded him, glaring as if that would intimidate him into vomiting every answer I needed. “Let me ask you one thing, and I need you to be honest with me,” he said, and I nodded. I wasn’t even sure that I would be able to lie to a detective without getting caught out. “Do you love him? Are you here because you’re in love with him, or is there something else involved that you both don’t want anyone to know?” he asked.

“You’re going to bring the money to me, but you won’t tell a single soul,” the man on the other end of the phone commanded me, causing me to swallow a lump in my throat. If I told Damien, he wouldn’t know about it, right? “That includes the man you have been going around town with, Lauren.” I stopped dead in my tracks when he said this, but I refused to ask him how he knew about Damien. There was nobody else that he could be talking about. “I don’t understand,” I attempted to play dumb, but this only made him laugh darkly and send a chill down my back. “You think I wouldn’t catch up with you and figure out what you were doing? You know, I paid a little visit to that apartment where you used to live. It turns out you moved out with the help of a man that seems to have a lot of money,” he said, confirming to me that he was referring to Damien and had been asking around. His braveness was surprising, and the relief I felt was heavy after finding out tha

“What are you doing with that?!” I exclaimed, attempting to make my way towards the door and run for my life if it came down to it. “Relax, Lauren. I’m not going to hurt you if that’s what you think,” he chuckled lightly, pointing the gun away from my direction but still scaring me with it anyway. I didn’t even get to ask why he would have a gun before figuring the answer out by myself – he had the money to get something like that, legally or illegally. “You’re not going to attempt to shoot those people, are you? You do know that it’s not just one person, right?” I asked, starting to regret letting him know that this was about my mother. His getting a gun prepared was a recipe for disaster that I didn’t want to know the taste of. “I’m going to drive you all the way and pretend to be a taxi driver. I’ll drive away, but I’ll scope out the area and find somewhere close enough but not too close,” he suggested. “You can’t do that,” I disagreed with a shak
