Chapter 27
I stared at the closed door for hours unnerved by my morphed photos circulating all over the internet with drunk men leering outside my apartment making me feel so much fear that I couldn’t breathe.
Tears tumbled my eyes as my phone was spammed with disgusting messages from random numbers asking for a price, like I was a prostitute when Damien’s caller ID flashed on the screen.
I picked up the call quickly breaking into sobs.
“Baby calm down. I am coming there.
Don’t open the door for anyone and don’t go outside, I am on my way. I just saw those damn articles! I will kill Damien cursed lowly, concern and wrath evident in his tone.
those fucking bastards!”
“It’s n–nothing, this will pass 1–too.” I said finally, forcing a weak smile through tears that Damien couldn’t see “How will I work like this? H don’t know what I did wrong.”
“No, you did nothing wrong Elena. Your children can sense your mood so please cheer–up darling, it’s not your fault.” Damien reassured,
Moments passed when he asked me to open the door, I quickly hurried outside, throwing myself into his arms as he embraced me tightly.
“I will not let anything happen to you Elena and the ones who dared play such dirty tricks on you, I will fucking kill them!“)
Damien stayed by my side all the time and took care of me, there were instances where he directly confronted the lecherous men, even injuring one of them so much so that he landed in the emergency ward
Even when it came to my grandma’s health issues he took it upon himself to go and attend to her in the hospital.
To my surprise, the whispers and accusatory glances that had followed me everywhere soon began to fade as the cop investigated the issue and arrested many involved.
By the end of two days, the rumors had seemingly disappeared altogether
I was late in noon when my phone buzzed, while I was waiting for Damien. It was a call from the police station.
“Am I speaking to Miss Elena Dawson?” the officer’s voice was professional but firm, “we need you to come down to the station. There’s been a development in your case and the mastermind is arrested.”
They gave me an hour to get ready and a female officer was already on her way to escort me to the police station. I messaged Damien who was in an important meeting and got ready!!
Unknown to me Alex had already arrived at the station and was sitting with a glass of red wine swirling in his arm. He sat across Jessica who was crying with mascara all over her face as she stared at Alex in shock.
“How could you Alex? You submitted all evidence against me to the police when it was your
master plan to ruin Elena’s image-”
“My master plan was to win her back by making her sad and comered for some days and in that some sacrifices are ofcourse necessary. Spreading her photos is just a step in the grand scheme
Elena is mine to do whatever the hell I want, I just told you to ruin her reputation a little yet you enjoyed it too much.”
“Lies” I just did what you asked me!” Jessica argued with Alex, crying in rage.
“Why are you all silent, the real culprit is himla
“Shutup!” Alex screamed at Jessica, bis eyes glaring at her, the guards turned a deaf ear against Alex for he had given them a huge sum of money!
“Just do as I say” Alex said smoothly, ignoring Jessica. “You’re making a scene
“A scene?” Jessica stood, pointing a trembling finger at him. “You told me to hire those goons to trouble Elena! You gave me the photos, the script, everything! And now you’re asking me to go to the prison for you?”
“So what? Didn’t you say you will do anything for me?”
sa
Jessica’s sobs grew louder as she looked at Alex like he was a monster. “You said you’d protect me! You said we were in this together! What about my child, Alex? What’s going to happen to my child?”
At that moment, I arrived, and the sight that greeted me left me utterly speechless. Jessica stood in a corner, her face streaked with tears. Alex’s eyes flicked to me briefly before he stepped closer to Jessica in rage:ll
His voice dropped to a whisper, low enough that only Jessica could hear. “Don’t worry about your child. I take care of everything, I said I will make your child the heir didn’t I? Just that you will not be the mother.
