Married To The Devil Chapter Twenty-Two
“Katarina? What are you… Who told you about my mother?” I frowned, the shock of it all settling in my bones at the one person who knew about it – Damien. I wasn’t sure about Damien picking up the phone and calling Katarina to tell her about my mother and my struggles. “Why does it matter who I heard it from? I just called to make sure you’re doing okay. If you want, I can come over to keep you company until you’re doing fine. Would that be okay?” She asked, and I only realized just how annoyed I was by her voice at that very moment. “I’m doing pretty fine, thank you for the offer. I don’t want you coming just yet. I have some things to sort out with myself before I can see or talk to anyone again,” I said and hung up to have the last word. I sighed, placing my hands against my hips and looking at the ceiling as I thought about how I would approach and confront Damien about it. Just because he had been of big help didn’t mean he had the right to go around an

“Why aren’t you answering me? Is your mother a drug addict or not?” Darla pressed as I stood in front of her, my mouth opening and closing for lack of words forming in my head as I tried to explain but had no idea what there was to explain to her. “Enough, Darla. Stop harassing her. This isn’t what you should be saying to her at a time like this,” Damien said, taking her hand and pulling her away from me so that I could have enough space to turn to the table and place the plate on the table as my appetite eluded me. “What do you mean by that? I just found out that her mother stole drugs worth over two million dollars, Damien. By your reaction, I can tell that you know all about this. Why doesn’t this bother you?!” She grabbed his shoulders and shook him as if shaking some sense into him. “Stop acting like this, Darla. Remember that you are under my roof and I have no problems with getting you out if I want to,” he said to her, forcing her to take a seat.

As soon as I saw the text on my phone, I didn’t hesitate to dial the number that had sent it to me, my nerves going every which way as I heard it ring until someone finally picked up the phone. “Hello? Who is this? Are you sure I can just come get her? Please just tell me this is real. I’ll be there right now,” I rambled into the phone, not knowing if it was going to annoy the person on the other side or if I was speaking to one of the people who had taken her in the first place. “I already gave you the address and everything else. Be here before she leaves,” a masculine voice on the other side of the phone came through, and I picked up my purse and burst out of the room. I paused in front of Damien’s door, not sure whether to tell him about it or not, but I figured that he must have fallen asleep after claiming to be tired. I sent a quick text to him from my phone to let him know that I was going to pick my mother up and was sure about it. When I di

“Damien,” the man on the other side of the phone answered with surety after I asked him what it would take for me to get my mother, and I fell into an abyss of confusion. “What do you mean by that? How do you know his name? Just tell me what you want,” I asked, knowing fully well that I was getting glances from the driver seated beside me but not caring anyway. “I want to put you on a mission, Lauren, and your mother is the prize if you do things right. Are you ready to do what I ask of you?” he asked as if he was talking to a child, but I shoved my annoyance in the back of my mind. “What do you want me to do?” I asked after giving a sigh of defeat and closing my eyes, preparing to hear the worst. “Since that man trusts you enough now, you will have to gather substantial information about his business. Take pictures of his documents and files and send them to me through this number. Of course, you don’t need me to tell you that he must never know abo

Damien and I gave each other looks of confusion as Detective Sam just told us that the person behind everything that was happening with my mother knew us both, which made me have some doubt in her. “I don’t think you understand,” I argued, shaking my head, even though I wasn’t sure that saying something like that to a detective was the smartest thing I could do. “My mother was taken away from me before I fully got introduced to Damien.” Detective Sam glanced at me as I explained the situation before glancing at Damien, who nodded to confirm that what I had said was true. “If that’s the case, then this person might not be someone you both know, but someone who knows you two. I can tell that they have been keeping their eyes on you two, and they probably know that you’re in here right now.” The fear that came from that thought hit me, and I shook my head. “No, they can’t. They’re never going to release her to me if they know that we’re working w

“What?” I asked, stunned at the emergence of the new order that was never in the picture in the first place. “Did you not hear me the first time? How clear do I have to make myself?” He cleared his throat comically and spoke as if trying to break something down to a child. “I want you to put some tiny microphones all over Damien’s house just for me to be sure that you’re not telling him anything.” “How do you expect me to do all that? It’s not even my house. He knows the place more than I do, he’s definitely going to find half of them even if he doesn’t find them all.” At this, Damien looked at me consciously with a raised brow, and I blinked slowly to let him know that I would tell him when I hung up. “You have to find good hiding places in there, Lauren. Don’t make me be the one to give you ideas. I don’t know the exact layout of the old man’s house, but if you want me to break in…” “No, you can’t,” I said, shaking my head as if he could see me.
Married To The Devil Chapter Twenty-Eight
“What do you have to say about my mother, Conrad?” I questioned, wiping my tears as if that would help in not letting him know that I had just been crying some seconds ago. “You didn’t tell me about it. How am I just finding out about it from someone in the family?” He questioned. I didn’t know which one to react to first – the fact that the news was still being passed around in the family and me being the point of discussion between everybody, or the audacity that Conrad had to be telling me something like that after everything. “I’m sorry, I didn’t know that I was supposed to confide in you when any small thing happens to me, Conrad,” I said, the bitterness so obvious on my tongue that I could taste it. “This is not something small, Lauren. I know you’re still processing the shock of it, but you could have told me. Granted, I may not be the best person to tell about something like this as you understandably don’t trust me, but what about Shirley?”

I almost gasped when mine and Damien’s lips touched that night, but I held it in the way I held my breath when I felt his hand snaking around my waist and holding me steady. His lips were warm and soft, and I couldn’t help but wonder what it would be like to kiss them every day. When we pulled away, I finally took a deep breath as I finally caught myself, and the first thing that came out of my mouth was, “I’m so sorry.” “Why are you apologizing?” He questioned, and I made the words dance in my head for a moment as I asked myself the same thing – what was there to apologize for? It had been completely mutual, after all. “I think we should go to sleep,” I whispered, closing my eyes and closing the window of ever discussing what had just happened. I didn’t want to talk about it just yet as I wanted it to linger until the next morning when I was clear-headed enough to say something that made sense. “Goodnight, Lauren,” Damien said, and I could hear the
