Chapter 67

Irene’s

Before me was Eva crying and apologizing to Damien. It was a heartfelt scene that felt as though it shouldn’t be interrupted. But the bathroom door I opened had already made a sound and made both of them turn and face me.

I looked around briefly around the room and saw that Steven wasn’t there. I could have used him to quickly excuse myself so Eva and Damien could trash out their differences too.

It seems she is really bent on earning forgiveness. And I hope she’s doing it honestly. I really want things to get better for everyone. I want everyone to heal.

“Irene, please help me beg Damien. I really want to become a new person. And I want to start it on a new slate. I want to be forgiven for my past terrible actions to both of you” Eva said to the and my heartstrings felt as if they were being tugged at

What was this feeling?

The feeling was strange. As if I should protect her with everything I’ve got. But I also know she doesn’t deserve it because of the type of person she used to be.

Thinking deeper, this is her first time seeking a second chance, would it be so bad to give it to her! Even if I might regret it, I think it is worth giving her a chance.

So I stepped forward and took her hand with one of my hands and held Damien’s hand with the other. I gazed at the both of them, knowing fully well that Damien might not like what I was about to do. It’s as if I am forcing him

“I feel like everything that has been happening, has been happening for a reason I feel like everything fell in order till we got here to this moment. There’s a huge reason while we are all here together, in one enclosed space to start anew. It might seem strange and foreign, but I think it’s better to start somewhere than leave things hanging.” I said to both of them.

“Damien,” I faced him as I called him. “I am not asking you to forgive Eva. No, that would be too much of me to ask. But all I can ask from you is to give her a second chance. Or at least, let her work for it. Especially if we are going to be staying in the same house for a while, it’s best to be civil and cordial” I finished and turned around to face Eva

“Eva,” I called her name, “You have hurt Damien. And when you hurt someone, it’s as if you have given them a wound that can’t easily heal. So it’s best to give everything time and let time heal while you do your best to earn the person’s forgiveness.” I told Eva and I let their hands go.

“I will think about what you have said, wifey. But I’m happy some things are a bit settled” Damien said as he got on his feet and smiled at me. I knew he was handling this with maturity because I knew it would take time for him to ever trust Eva again. But I just wanted to get him out of that awkward situation that Eva put him in.

“I will be heading to the office with Steven now. The doctor told me that she can be discharged this evening. I’m sure he will come see her to let her know everything she needs to know.” He said to me as he held my hands.

“Have a nice day, Eva. Excuse us. I need to talk to my wife briefly” He told her and pulled me gently out of the room.

The moment we got outside, his expression changed. And I knew just what was coming. It was the last thing I wanted to be happening between my husband and me.

But I don’t want Damien and I to be having fights because of Eva

“Why would you do that?” He asked, his facial expression morphed with annoyance.

“I just wanted to get you out of that awkward situation,” I replied as if that response could instantly melt all his anger, but it didn’t.

“Even though Irene, I don’t like what is happening. I don’t like how you are slowly forgetting everything she has done to us. Can’t we just help her from afar like we agreed before?” He asked and I could feel his emotions. But he also needs to understand my reason.

“Even a devil incarnate deserves a second chance. Eva deserves that. Why not just give her that chance? She had a near- death experience and she has had a change of heart. Just don’t lie pessimistic about it.” I told him and he breathed out a painful sigh as he shut his eyes.

Maybe I was being difficult.

Maybe I am being too forgiving.

Maybe I am being stupid.

But one thing I know for sure that I’m not doing is not giving a second chance. It’s the first time in her life. People can change and I want to hang on to hope that she is going to be changing for good.

“I won’t say anything about this anymore. And I’m going to give in to what you want and say. If you think she deserves a second chance then so be it, wifey. Your wish is my command.” He said to me and leaned down to peck my forehead.

“Thank you for being the most amazing husband in the world” I smiled at him and he pecked my lips.

After some more cute moments, Steven came to tell him that it was time to leave. And he left.

Going back into the room, Eva couldn’t stop thanking me. I told her it was no problem. The day went by and at some point, the doctor came to us and told us all we needed to know. After signing the discharge papers, we were allowed to leave.

Steven was sent to pick us up with a few bodyguards to protect us against any paparazzi that might want to attack us for the purpose of getting a scoop.

The journey back home was a breeze and as we got closer to the house, I couldn’t help the negative thoughts that wanted t start implanting themselves in my head.

But I tried to shake them off. There was no need to allow them to germinate themselves in my head. I made the right decision and I was going back on it.

Steven and a bodyguard helped Eva inside and helped put her on the sofa because the house wasn’t so good for a wheelchair. I carried her bag and mine and as I entered, my son ran down from the stairs and hugged me.

“Mummy, I miss you” He said in a cute voice. “I missed you too, baby,” I told him and out of curiosity, he jumped downI from my arms and ran to the living room to see who was the lady sitting on the sofa
