Chapter 49
Irene’s POV
“I didn’t mean the words I said to you and neither did I mean the names I called you. I couldn’t even recognize you.” I explained, pulling slightly away from his chest to look at his face. I wanted him to feel the honesty in my eyes.
“Irene. I know you didn’t mean them, so I never took them to heart. I was really just worried for you. That’s all.” He replied. caressing my face softly.
“It would have hurt a bit. So I just want to apologize for it.” I said to him and he pecked my lips this time, shushing me from talking.
“You are forgiven.” He smiled and I knew he said that just so I could stop feeling guilty. “Thank you.” I smiled back at him.
And for a moment, I was lost in his blue orbs that sheltered loving emotions for me. I admired the beauty his face withheld, the soft way he gazed at me like I was worth more than gold. There was no way I would have fallen for another man in this lifetime because my heart totally belongs to Dainien.
“Can you tell me about it?” His voice snapped me back to my present situation- my gaze was locked with Damien’s gaze.
“About what?” I asked, confused about his question.
“The nightmare. The after feeling. Everything But only if you want to.” He replied and I shut my eyes, trying not to overthink things by simply just wanting to explain my dilemmato the man laying right before me.
The man that owns my heart, wholly.
“I’d love to share. But it’s a bit terrifying. But I also feel like it’s best for me to talk about what happened.” I answered and h held my shoulder firmly, and a stern look in his eyes.
“I don’t want it to be something you don’t want to do but you are doing just to make me feel better. I want you to be better. not stressed out. I only asked because I wanted to know about your troubles and pains. I want to share them with you. because you are no longer alone.” He said in the softest tone that went straight into my chest and hugged my heart tenderly,
“You are so sweet that it’s hard to comprehend sometimes. You Have been such a great support system. And this might sound cliche, but I don’t regret giving my ex–husband one last chance.” I told him and pecked his lips quickly to hide my blush, but it turned out that I was not the only one blushing as he was smiling into the short kiss.
“You’re sweeter.” He said, grabbed me by my neck, and kissed me deeper.
We kissed for what felt like forever until we ran out of breath, pulling apart and smiling like fools in love. And I was feeling much calmer than before as if Damien knew the best remedy to apply to calm my racing heart.
“Was that on purpose?” I asked and he shook his head as no with a warm smile etched on his plumpy lips.
“I’m ready to share now,” I told him and sat up, folding my legs that same sitting position and he mimicked me too, sitting up and folding his legs.
Since I was feeling so much lighter within myself at the moment, I decided it was best I let it all out now rather than later when my mood could have mellowed down from the euphoric rush the kiss gave me.
“I’m all cars, wifey.” He replied and I smiled.
“I woke up as if I was on the bed. But then I didn’t see you because everywhere was dark. No source of light in any form. I was a bit scared but I also thought maybe you were pranking. Although, I thought that would be an expensive joke. So I kept calling for you. And then I discovered that I couldn’t move from my position. And I was getting more terrified than before.” I paused a bit to catch my breath, then I continued.

Chapter 49
Damien was quiet as he watched me intently with listening ears
“Suddenly, the light came on and all I could see at first was white until Eva’s voice jolted me from behind. She tormented me with all the weaknesses she knew of and then those monsters of men walked in, prancing in like I was a prey they wanted to devour. I was so scared to the point I started to scream for help, but there was no one to come to my aid.” I paused again, trying not to get emotional as the vivid nightmare images stayed glued in my head, painting those horrible pictures in my mind. But I refused to let the terrors of my nightmare consumeme.
Damien sat still and was watching me without saying any words or moving. And I appreciated his thoughtfulness for staying quiet until I was done.
“The men were like hunters and they were only after taking advantage of me. But the worst part of it was how much this dream felt so real. So real that I could feel the way my blood was rushing in my veins and how it was pulsing in the protruding veins in my neck. I was more than scared. But it was when they were about to get into action that the light got cut off and I woke up, only to be scared.” I finished with a sigh of relief as I felt lighter just talking about it.
*And my brain automatically saw you as one of them. Which was why I reacted in such a manner.” I added and the next thing Damien did was pull me to sit on his lap and hug me tightly.
He remained silent and he held me firmly in his arms.
He buried his nose into my neck and was still hugging me.
“Are you okay?” I had to ask him, because I wasn’t sure what was going on in his mind, and I couldn’t see his face.
“No, wifey. I’m not okay.” He answered. “I’m just so fucking furious.” He added and I could understand what he meant by that immediately.
