Chapter 35
Damien’s POV:
The moment we landed in Cancun, I couldn’t wait to show Irene my favorite spots. In a city where no one really knew who I was, we were free to be whatever and whoever we wanted to be.
It was so endearing to watch the amazed look on her face as we drove past the bubbling city. The air smelt different and with Irene in my arms, the scenery was more calming.
“Maybe we could take a quick nap before exploring the city?” I said to her and all she did was nod her head, her face glued to the mirror with my arm around her waist.
I couldn’t believe that she would suddenly change her mind and be willing to try something new with me. It would be a lie to say that the past two days without her in that huge house weren’t devastating. I had no hopes even though Delores had talked with me and assured me that things could change, I only needed to be patient.
And honestly, I was never the patient type. It was unlike me to resist the temptation called Irene.
When I walked out of the bathroom and saw her sitting on the couch like a good little girl, I almost said to hell with everything and claimed her right there and then.
But I’m supposed to be a good gentleman who abided by the rules and demands of the woman he loved and cherished. So I had to act nonchalantly as if her presence wasn’t clawing hard at my self–control.
But now that she was in my arms and was willing to try, I will only have to make sure I always make her smile and give her the sweetest memories ever. I need to make sure that she doesn’t regret ever giving me a second chance.
A second chance that I know so well that I don’t deserve. But I wouldn’t let it go to waste.
“This place is just…wow.” She mumbled as we stepped out of the car, she was in deep awe that she wasn’t even sparing me a glance. But I was happy that she was beginning to enjoy herself like I hoped she would.
“It is a beautiful place. The atmosphere alone can already tell you a lot.” I said to her, wrapping one of my arms around her shoulders.
“That is why we will be staying for three days. Is that okay for you because of Charlie?” I asked her, knowing that in every decision she made, he was always considered.
“That huge fucking resort?” She asked, finally facing me with widened eyes that looked so cute.
“Yes, wifey. It’s my favorite guest house in the entire Cancun.” I answered her and the next I knew was her bouncing her feet like a toddler who was happy for an ice cream cone.
“And yes, Charlie will be fine. I can’t wait to see more of Cancun She replied while still jumping. The few passersby couldn’t help but watch her briefly while smiling.
“Let’s go in then. The staff will bring in all our stuff.” I told her and she hooked her arm with mine, this might not be so masculine to say, but I could swear that butterflies were currently flapping their tiny wings in my chest, because what was this thrilling and sweet feeling in my heart?
She began humming a song as she finally calmed down and began walking slowly beside me. I showed her some flowers and spots that I liked in the resort. Our building was at the far end, and we could have used a cart but I’d rather walk with her when she was holding on to me. I’m also able to show her things and chit–chat with her.
“Mr. Chad!” I heard a Korean accent call my name, and I knew there was only one man who called me like that. I turned around while still holding Irene, as a smile lit up my already happy face.

Chapter 35
“Soo–Jin, my brother!” Hhailed and managed to shake and hug him without letting Irene go. I didn’t even want to feel like I had any other priority than her.
“Bro, I saw the news. Is this milady?” He said while gazing at Irene.
“Yes.” I proudly said as Irene shyly smiled.
“Meet the love of my life. And Irene, meet my Korean brother from way back in high school.” I introduced them and they exchanged pleasantries.
“Are you still here? I have to head out to a meeting now.” Soo–Jin asked and I nodded.
“Yes, just got here. I will be here for three days. We can meet up later.” I told him and he had a relieved expression.
“Good, because I still want to get to properly hang out with you and your beautiful wife.” He said and I knew he always had a sweet mouth.
“I’m not sure about that meeting, I fear you might steal her from me. And she had a thing for handsome Korean men.” I replied with a sheepish smile, and Irene instantly buried her face into my chest without hesitation.
She actually likes Korean men because she watches their movies and shows.
“I might just do that.” He teased and soon enough, we shared goodbyes and left.
“Why did you out me like that?” Irene hit my chest playfully. “I love making you blush,” I replied and stole a kiss from her. and I knew that would leave her flushing red. So I hurried ahead, and when I looked back, she was already running after me.
“You are a dead meat!” She yelled. It made me laugh but I couldn’t let her catch me so I kept running until I arrived at the front door of the building where we would be staying.
I hastily opened the door and rushed in. We didn’t even bother to calm down, she kept chasing me all around the living
area.
“I’m going to use my sharp teeth to tattoo your skin.” She threatened.
“It’s not so bad to have that. But I doubt you would be able to get me.” I dared her and the moment I saw an opening, I ran towards the bedroom.
It was a trap though. And the ball was in her court.
We could go naughty or remain playful.
“Damien Chad!” She yelled, I could hear her footsteps padding the hallway. Her playful anger made me chuckle.
“Catch me if you can, wifey.” I teased and the next thing I heard was the door to the bedroom bursting open.
“There is the troublemaker.” She pointed at me and dashed towards me. But the moment she reached me, I grabbed her and threw her on the bed softly.
And instantly, I hovered her. Grabbing her hands and pinned it above her head. A smirk played on my lips as I assumed victory.
“Damien…” She whined.
“Oh darling wife, I have you exactly where I want you.”
