“Thank you.” Audrey said nervously as they appreciated her, she walked out of the room with Damien and she sighed in relief.
“I told you not to feel intimidated.” Damien said as they headed out of the restaurant.
“Am sorry, I just couldn't help it.” She replied and he didn't say another word.
They both enter the car and Audrey’s stomach suddenly grumbled, Damien turned to her and she looked away embarrassed.
“Are you hungry?”
“No.” She lied but her stomach failed her by grumbling again.
“You haven't had breakfast.”
“No, it's fine.”
“Well, I have other places to be and we can't wait at the restaurant, you will eat when you get home okay?”
“Yeah, thank you.” She replied without turning to him, she still felt embarrassed and she felt like hiding herself far away from him.
The cat suddenly stopped minutes later and she turned to Damien, they weren't home yet so why did they stop?
“I am getting off here, the chauffeur will take you home.”
“Where are you going?”
“I have work to do.” He replied and walked out of the car, Audrey watched him as he entered another car with two of his guards.
She shrugged and looked away as the car started moving, she got back to the mansion after some minutes and she sighed in relief.
She walked out of the car and entered the house, she flinched on seeing the maids and she heard them giggle silently.“We are sorry for startling you.” One of them apologized.
“Jeez, must you guys stand so close to the door? It's so creepy.” She sighed.
“We are sorry, breakfast is ready.”
“Finally, breakfast at almost noon.” She scoffed and followed the maids as they headed to the dining.
She sat down and giggled as she ate, she moaned as she felt the pleasure of having a meal after starving for hours.
After having breakfast, she felt bored and decided to take a nap.
*******
HOURS LATER Damien walked into Audrey’s room and met her asleep, he walked slowly to her bed and sat beside her.He took his time and stared at her, her hair fell to her face and covered half of it, he slowly lifted her hair and creased her cheek.
Audrey opened her eyes and flinched, she sat up immediately and breathed heavily.
“Calm down, it's just me, your husband.” He said and she nodded.
“Words.” He said sternly and her hands shook in fear, she really doesn't get him, he is difficult to u understand. He displays different kinds of characters every single time towards her, most of them are terrifying while a few are normal.
“Am... Am sorry.” She stammered and he sighed.
“I hate the fact that my wife is being like this towards me.”
“Am sorry, I will act better.” She replied and he nodded.
Audrey wondered what kind of man is sitting before her. He was watching her sleep and also touched her. And why the hell is he always having conversations with her without showing an expression?
“I got you something.” He said and dipped his hand in his pants pocket, he brought out a small box and Audrey knew what it contained.
He opened the box and brought out a new diamond ring, he held her hand and slid the ring into her finger.
“Don't take it off again.”
“I won't, I promise.” Audrey replied and he nodded.
“Have you had dinner?” He asked and Audrey’s eyes drifted to the window, she realized it was late already and she wondered how long she slept.
“No, I have been asleep since I got back.”
“Then let’s go have dinner.” He said and pulled her up, Audrey held onto him till her feet touched the ground.
She expected him to let go of her but instead, he held onto her waist.
“Is... “ She trailed off as he raised his hand and trailed his fingers down her cheek, Audrey shivered and tried pulling away from him but he held her tightly.
“What are you doing?” She asked nervously and he ignored her, he slowly trailed his fingers down to her shirt.
“I am married.” She said and Damien suddenly paused.
“To me.” He added and she shook her head.
“No, I am legally married to Charles and not you.” She replied in fear and he nodded, he pulled away from her and took in a deep breath, he put his hands in his pants pocket and started to walk around the room slowly.
“Do you want Charles to die?” He suddenly asked and turned to Audrey.
“What?”
“Do you want Charles to die?” He asked again and Audrey shook her head.
“I said always use your words.” He yelled and picked up a vase beside him, he threw it close to her and it hit the wall, Audrey screamed in fear and started to cry.
“Am sorry.” She apologized and he rolled his eyes.
“Do you want Charles to die?” He asked and Audrey hurriedly looked at him.
“No, no, I don't want him to die.” She cried in response and he nodded.
“Then he is not your husband.”
“Okay.” She replied and raised her hand to clean her tears, Damien noticed blood on it and sighed, he walked towards her and Audrey kept moving back till she hit the wall.
“No, no, am sorry, please don't hurt me.” She cried and Damien held her hand when he got to her, she finally noticed her hand was bleeding and she whimpered in pain.
Broken pieces of the vase must have cut her hand when it hit the wall.
“Does it hurt?”
“Yes.” She whimpered and he pulled her towards the bathroom, they got in and he placed her hand under the running water from the sink.
Audrey winced in pain as the blood washed off.
“Ouch.” She cried and Damien looked at her, he turned off the water and blew hair with his mouth to it.
Audrey stared at his eyes and became lost in thought, wasn't he the one that hurt her now? Why is he being sweet again?
“Come on.” He said and pulled her out of the bathroom.
“Sit, I will be back.” He ordered and Audrey sat immediately as he walked out, he came back in less than a minute with a small bag and he say beside her.
“Your hand.” He said and she stretched it towards him immediately, he was about to apply something to it and he paused.
“It is going to sting a little.” He told her and applied it, Audrey cried and try to withdraw her hand but he held it firmly.
He was finally done dressing up the wound and Audrey already cried her eyes out, he let go of her hand and she looked away from him, she cried and bowed her head.
Why is he hurting her for stupid reasons? It isn't fair to treat a lady this way.
He suddenly pulled her closer and placed her head on his shoulder.
“Take it easy Mrs. Robbin.” He muttered and stroked her hair, Audrey wanted to pull away from him but she knew it would only make matters worse.
He lifted her head and stared at her, he wiped her tears and Audrey sniffed.
“Come on, it's dinner time.” He said and pulled her up.
‘Okay, it is clear. She is living with a psychopath.’ She thought as they walked out of the room.
They got to the dining and their meals were dished already, they sat next to each other and both started eating.Audrey ate slowly as she tried not to make any mistake that can make him hurt her again. “Audrey.” Damien called and she turned to him.“Yes?” “Tell me about your ex-husband.” He said and she gulped, ex-husband? Well, she has no choice but to agree to it at this point, she doesn't remember being divorced.“Am waiting.” He added and she snapped out of her thoughts.“Oh, yeah. His name is Charles Williams and we have been married for two years.”“No kids?” He asked as he ate. Audrey froze as she remembered her not being able to give birth was one of the basic problems she had with Charles.“Oh, you are barren?” He asked and a tear rolled down her eyes.“Hmm, I... I... We both agreed not to have a child yet.” She lied and she heard him groan.“Is that why he hits you?”“He doesn't.” She lied again.“Yes he does, no man in his right senses should hit a lady.” He said and turn
Audrey paced around the room and cried, why did she have to do that? She just got herself into a huge mess.She should have just accepted the fact that she is stuck here for ninety days, why the hell did she make that phone call?The door to her room suddenly opened revealing Damien and she froze.“Yes, Mrs. Robbin? You called 911.” Damien said and walked towards her slowly.“I... I... ““Are you okay? Why are you crying?” “Am sorry.” She apologized in tears and he sighed.“You called 911, why did you call the number if you weren't in an emergency?”“I... I thought it was the cops.” She replied he moved closer to her, but she couldn't move because she was too scared to.“Why did you call the cops?” “Nothing, am sorry. Please don't hurt me.” She cried.“I won't if you give me a good reason why you called 911.”“I... I wanted to get help.”“From what?” “You kidnapped me.” She replied and Damien paused.“Well, the contract doesn't say so. We are legally married so why call the cops?”
“What?” Audrey asked confused and he rolled his eyes.“Just watch.” He said and she sighed before turning to the stage, Audrey watched with interest and wondered what was going to happen. If this man is all about having sex with her then why go through all these processes?“Get up.” He ordered and the girl did immediately, he untied her hands and she moaned, he dragged her to a pole and tied her hands to it, she winced in pain and Audrey turned to look at everyone in the room, they seemed to be enjoying the show.“Kneel.” He ordered her and she knelt immediately, he took off his jeans and Audrey looked away.“Watch it,” Damien whispered and she slowly turned back to the stage, her lips were slightly open in shock as she watched the guy force his cock into her mouth, Audrey turned away again but Damien suddenly squeezed her hand and she winced in pain. Clyde glanced at them and he noticed Damien was forcing Audrey to watch it. “I don't feel comfortable watching it.” Audrey whimpered
Damien met Audrey in the car waiting for him, she looked away from him immediately as he entered the car. “Head to Amigos.” Damien ordered the chauffeur.“Yes sir.” He replied and Audrey looked at Damien.“Where is Amigos? And why are we going there?” Audrey asked and Damien ignored her.“Come on, Damien, I want to go home.” “You will.” “So why are we going to Amigos? What is that place?”“I don't have a reason to answer you, you will see it for yourself when we get there.” He replied and she sighed, she felt unsatisfied with the reply she got but she decided to keep quiet about it. The car finally stopped in front of a restaurant and she saw the name.“Oh, Amigos is a restaurant.” She said and Damien ignored her as he got down, she also got down and walked to him.“We haven't had dinner yet, that is why we are here. Happy now?” He asked and she rolled her eyes.“Did you just roll your eyes at me?” He asked angrily.“Yes, and am sorry. I didn't know why I did that.” She apologize
“What?” Audrey yelled as he stood up.“What?” He asked back and she stood in front of him as he tried to walk away.“Are you trying to say you aren't going to eat that food?” She asked staring into his eyes.“Yes, I already told you, I lost my appetite.” He replied and tried to walk away again but she stopped him, Damien was surprised by her sudden confidence but decided not to show it.“Damien, I woke up early and I spent hours making those meals and you just said you lost your appetite?” She asked and tears were rushing to her eyes.“Are you going to cry because I don't want to eat?”“No, it is because I spent hours preparing it and you won't even have a taste of it, it's not fair.” “You can cry all you want, but still not interested.” He said and walked away, Audrey sighed and tears rolled out of her eyes, what a waste of effort. She turned to the meal and sighed, she looked around and she saw some maids peeping.“You guys can have it if you want.” She said and walked away from t
“Damien!” She yelled and rushed after him, she met him at the stairs and he ignored her, she blocked his path when they got to the hallway and he sighed.“What do you want Audrey?” He asked and sighed.“I want to know what you want to... “ She trailed off as she felt a sharp pain in her stomach, she winced in pain and fell to the floor.“Are you okay?” Damien asked calmly as he stared at her, he didn't look scared or worried as she winced in pain.“My stomach hurts.” She replied and he rolled his eyes.“It's noon already and you skipped breakfast, what do you expect?” He asked and stretched his hand towards her.“Come on.” Audrey slowly took his hand and he pulled her up, he held her hand and they both walked down the stairs.They got to the dining and the maids already prepared lunch, they sat next to each other and Audrey felt annoyed.He wouldn't eat her food but he would eat the maid’s food. Such a jerk.“You skipped breakfast because I rejected your meal,” Damien said as she slo
“Why are you playing dumb?” “Charles, what are you talking about? What do you mean by divorce papers?”“We are divorced, did you hit your head or something? Your parents have been threatening me for days saying I hurt you or something, I don't give a fuck if you are hurt. All I need you to do is sign the divorce papers, tell me your address and I will send them to you.” He yelled and Audrey’s hand shook, a tear rolled down her eyes and she started to cry.“You kicked me out right?” “Of course, I had no choice but to do that when you weren't willing to leave.”“Are... Aren't you worried about me? I have been missing for days right? Don't you care?” She asked in tears and she heard him scoff.“Who cares? Send me the address via a text message.” He replied and ended the call, Audrey suddenly screamed in tears and fell to the floor, she sobbed like a baby and she wasn't trying to stop herself, she decided to let it all out hoping to feel better.She cried for some minutes and decided to
“What?” “I am not signing anything till I get back to New York after spending 90 days here.” She replied and he nodded.She decided to change the topic to forget about her husband a little bit.“How long have you been shipping drugs?” She asked as she gulped down a glass of water.“Should you be asking that?” “Of course, aren't we married?” She asked and he shrugged. “For years now.” “How many?”“Can't remember.” His phone suddenly rang and he rolled his eyes when he saw Clyde was the caller, he picked it up and stood up from the bed.“What?” He asked and Audrey turned to him, she noticed the slow change in his facial expression till he ended the call. He looked annoyed and Audrey wondered who he was on the phone with.“Damien, what’s wrong?” She asked and he turned to her.“Nothing, goodnight.” He replied and rushed out of her room. Audrey shrugged and decided to finish up her meal, probably it was about his business, after finishing her meal, she lay on her bed and drifted to
