NATALIE'S POV For the past months, Damien and I had both been in touch to the extent that the thought of him wanting to separate from me made no sense anymore. Why was he keeping the connection between us growing, if he knew our marriage would be in shambles soon enough? He also wasn't making things any easier for me. Here I was, trying to use Luke as a distraction from Damien, but I couldn't even stop having s*x with him on the phone, almost every night, for the past two months. I was really pathetic. Feeling slightly uninterested, I put on my second shoe and looked up at the mirror for the very last time. Impressed with how well my look had turned out regardless of my lack of interest, I gave a small smile. I walked up to the living room to see Lana and William curled up on the couch.
