Marie looked at Damien in fear as she had never seen his eyes red as if he was so angry or like a a
predator chasing after its prey.
“Da…Damien, How, how, can you listen to his nonsense?” Marie said as she started faking and for the first time, Damien felt disdain for her when he saw that.
He didn’t know why but something deep in him was telling him that Marie was faking tears so that she
could look vulnerable and pitiful.
“Don’t start crying as if you have been beaten by anyone! No one has thus you shouldn’t be crying out Damien said coldly, stunning Marie in the process as he had never told her such a thing when she
cried.
Tears were always a weakness to him thus she didn’t understand what had changed.
“Da…Damien, how can you say that?” she said as she wiped her tears and tried her best to look as if
she had been wronged.
If anyone walked in, they would assume that Damien was the one who was threatening her or had wronged her but who didn’t know the truth while her conversation with her father trending online and amo people’s mouths?
“Stop wasting time pretending that you have been wronged and that you are innocent, you better star answering my questions since I overheard your conversation with your father. By the way, I arrived here so early, but a sentence made me not walk in, stay out there, and listen to you. So, the second mistake you made I already know you are the culprit and not that the audio was forged. Also, I even have the proof to prove that you are the mastermind behind what happened to Amanda. Because of my company’s stocks are falling again. Now, coming here am discovering that you faked fainting. I wa so worried about you that I reached you here immediately. Why did you pretend? Just to avoid answering my questions? How many times have you faked fainting and illnesses just to get my attention or even avoid answering some questions that had always made me suspicious?” Damien asked angrily.

He remembered that he was still married to Amanda, Amanda never faked anything. If she was met with a confrontation or accused of anything, she stayed still, listened to them, and let them do anything they wanted to her after she tried explaining herself but they refused to listen. Never once had she ever faked illnesses or fainting just to get what she could have gotten. At the same time, he was

reminded that most of the nights, instead of staying at home with his wife, Marie would call saying that she was sick, suffering from headache, backache, stomachache, and so on. And since he cared about her, he would rush to her apartment immediately as he was worried sick for her but now. everything came to him mocking him.

He wondered whether what he had been told by the Andersons, his grandmother, and Fabian was tru about that. Although the evidence was presented to him, he still couldn’t believe it. He wished that she would make him understand and give a reasonable explanation as he couldn’t believe that the womar he loved so dearly would cause him a lot of misery.
“Damien, they are all lying. About Amanda’s death, I never knew till Eunice told me when she saw the
news on the television,” she said as she pretended to be pitiful.
“Okay. I understand you hate Amanda, but why use my sister as your scapegoat? She loves you so mu
and to her, you are her sister-in-law. She had never had Amanda in her eyes since I told her about you
Why then should you do something like that? Do you know how it will pain her if she ever finds the
truth?”
Marie started trembling as she cried but didn’t make a sound.
Seeing this, he rolled his eyes and said, “You can continue faking fainting once more if that is what you want. Luckily, we are at the hospital thus I will just call the doctor immediately.” Marie stopped her act and looked at him in disbelief.
She wanted to say something but she wondered what she could even say to him.
“Now if you are wide awake and not trembling answer me before I lose my patience, Marie,” He said coldly making her flinch but Damien paid no heed to that.
“Your mother is now on her side,” she mumbled and Damien sighed.
“And didn’t we talk about that? Didn’t I tell you that even if the world is against us, I will still marry you? Then why go on doing what you did? Why? You could have just bought the wedding dress, com back with it then we got married after a few weeks. Do you think that even Amanda has me in her eye! that you are afraid that she will s n a t c h me from you? No. Now I know why you plotted against Amanda can you tell me why you made Eunice the scapegoat?” he asked as he tried his best to calm down.
“I thought that If she finds out it was Eunice’s doing she will let her go as she loves you dearly. Also, thought that they wouldn’t dare provoke the Scotts since they don’t have a foothold in this
