Mrs. Code: I will kill you with my love!

Chapter 5 - The Widower

Following their breakfast, Damien extended an invitation to Paige to accompany him outside. Naturally, in order to conceal their identities, they disguise themselves. It is preferable to avoid such problems by taking precautions. This morning has started off just gorgeous. Everything appears to be in good shape. And to top that, the environment is really tranquil.

Because it is not in a city, this location is in close proximity to the water. If Vanessa is still alive, he is confident that she will adore being here because it is such a relaxing environment.

Damien would glance across at Paige every once in a while without even realizing it. He is certain that everyone who is able to view them at this precise moment will believe that they are newlyweds. And they are enjoying their time here as newlyweds by going on honeymoon.

To be honest, that is not a terrible concept at all. Paige is a very beautiful woman. She is even more stunning than his late wife, who passed away. Any man would feel a tremendous amount of pride to have her in his life. What if they continued to make love to one another the day before? Paige yields to his attempts to touch her. But he is sure that Paige was merely helpless, and now that she is coherent, he knows that she will never again permit him to touch her.

He is confident, given her lack of experience, that Paige is still a virgin. And he knew, virgins have a tendency to be more possessive and clingy. If they had s*x the day before, she might propose marriage right now. And he despises the idea of an arranged marriage. They do not love one another in any way. Even though he gives off the impression of being a nasty person, he detests loveless marriages. He still respects the sanctity of marriage and love.

And he hasn't gotten over the death of his wife. Even after all this time, he can't stop loving Vanessa. There will never be another woman who can hold a candle to her accomplishments. For him, Vanessa is the only woman who can make him happy. And after her death, he feels like a part of him also died.

He inhaled deeply and exhaled slowly. He murmured the words, "Trust me, my darling. I will do everything so that I may give you proper justice," Damien promised to himself.

They have only been outside for a few hours, yet they have already started strolling back to his villa. They have a great deal of packaged meats and veggies in the plastic.

"What exactly are we going to do with these?" Paige asked him.

He made a face and rolled his eyes at her. "Paige, are you kidding me with that kind of question? Of course, we are going to prepare some food for them.” It is difficult for him to conceive of methods that might allow him to communicate with Douglas's group. What if Douglas passed away, then what will happen now? If that is the case, the group will make him their primary target.

If Douglas will die, Maximo's most trusted partner, then the latter will undoubtedly go looking for him. He finds it difficult to focus his attention on the tasks at hand. And now here comes Paige to further occupy his thoughts.

As he looked at Paige, he noticed that she had a horrified expression on her face. Undoubtedly, the woman did not foresee that he would respond to her in the manner that he did. She turned her head away from him while pursing her lips into a pout.

"I'm sure you know, Damien, that we're going to cook them. I'm simply curious to know whether there's a particular food that you'd like me to prepare for you. So that you won't hold it against me,"

Damien felt guilty. He was trying to apologize, but he has a history of finding it difficult to apologize. Vanessa was the only woman who was able to bring out his sensitive side. And there is no way that he will ever let this woman see the sensitive side of him.

Therefore, he attempted to conceal his own emotions by acting arrogant towards her. "Paige, you tend to talk too much. And it's annoying. Would you kindly stop talking like that? A much is going through my head right now.”

Paige, rather than becoming angry at him, chose to tease him instead. “Oh! Damien, I had no idea that you were even capable of coming up with something,"

The redness spread to Damien's cheeks. "Shut up!" He yelled at her to get her to stop making fun of him.

Paige was caught off guard by his shout. It seems as though she has been offended or hurt. Paige walks faster. Even yet, he frequently finds himself imitating her quick steps.

"Hey, what's the matter with you?" He made the choice to put on an innocent front.

She regarded him with eyes that were blazing with anger. “Pervert! Heartless!”

Typically, he will become enraged at what she said. But he just can't bring himself to be angry at such a kind and innocent woman. She is very stunning, and the way she is wearing his shirt makes her look years younger.

He moved closer to her and attempted to grip her wrist, but she dodged his contact. He continued to move closer to her. "Don't touch me!" She yelled.

“Oh, so you're trying to be difficult to get, is that it? Huh?” He smirked.

Paige runs fast. Because he was dared to, he now adheres to her. "Stay away from me, Damien! Urgh! Or else I will hurl this freshly prepared meat at you!” She made a threat against him.

His eyes widened. "Don't you dare! I've just gotten out of the shower!"

The sound of her laugh is like music to his ears.

What the heck is happening to him?

They have arrived at his Villa at this point. Damien is taking a moment to gather his breath. Damn. When was the last time he pretended to be a young man and pursued a woman? He can't even recall.

"I give up, Paige. Let's head inside so we can get started on preparing the food stocks. Are we good now?" He is not obviously apologizing, but he is asking as to whether or not she is still angry.

Paige didn't answer. She is making a babylike expression with her lips right now. Her cheeks were so pink. And he can't resist the impulse to give her a passionate kiss. Suddenly, Damien's heart begins to beat much faster. And in order to prevent him from losing track of the true purpose that they were in that disposition, he distanced himself from them and placed a barrier in their path.

He had no choice but to stay far away from this woman. They are just going to be together temporarily, and after that, they are going to lead different lives.

They stepped into the Villa in a hushed manner. He helped Paige in arranging the stocks that he had purchased. And at this very moment, Paige is in the kitchen preparing lunch.

They were engulfed in stillness, and it was possibly Paige who broke the silence by starting a conversation.

"Can I ask something, Damien?”

“Sure,”

“Where is your wife?" She asked.

He made an effort to swallow. He doesn't want to lie to Paige. And there is no cause for him to lie. He never stops feeling grateful that Vanessa once came into his life.

"Paige, I’m already a widower. My wife has passed away,"

She exhaled loudly. He may perceive her remorse just by looking into her eyes. "I truly apologize. I should haven’t asked this question. This is incredibly inconsiderate of me,"

He didn't answer. "So… I see,” She said, "It belongs to your wife," pointing to something.

His brows knitted together in concentration. “What? What are you trying to say?”

She gave a small shake of her head. “I saw that there are some wardrobe items for women. So I'm going to guess that it belongs to your wife,"

He nodded. "I decided to buy it for her. However, she never puts them on. I want to gift this Villa to my wife. It's a shame she was never able to witness this in person,"

“Why? What happened?”

Damien experienced discomfort, and he dislikes the sensation of being uncomfortable. Therefore, he chooses to feel angry with her.

“You are asking a lot of questions! What, is this kind of interview, huh? Just keep going with the cooking. I'm hungry,"

The woman did not respond to him in any way, and she continued to follow him. Damien exhaled deeply before turning away from her and leaving her there. He went into the garden so that he could breathe a clean air and remove Paige from his mind.

It is necessary for him to take action. He shouldn't just be standing around doing nothing here. He should get in touch with his private investigator and make a request for assistance in determining the actions that he must do in order to learn the truth about the circumstances surrounding the death of his wife.

***

When Damien showed up at the location where they were supposed to meet, he was dressed in his disguise. He glanced all over the restaurant for Eric as he wandered around looking for him. His reliable private investigator. He sent an email to him that he needs to meet up with him. His phone is not with him.

When it comes to solving puzzles and uncovering secrets, Eric is a very skilled individual. The only other person he could put his faith in about this matter is him.

Damien was confident that Eric would not be able to notice his appearance today, he moved up to him and touched him on the shoulders.

In the beginning, he was unable to identify himself. But Eric's eyes grew wider when he spoke in a whisper.

"Sir Damien! Is that you?” He asked.

“Shhh! Lower your voice. Yeah, this is me,” He sat beside him.

The look in Eric's eyes is evasive. And he became conscious of his surrounding environment. "Sir Damien, what on earth has happened to you? Why are you pretending to be someone else?”

"It's a long story, Eric. When everything is back to normal, I will reveal everything to you. Now, what I need from you is for you to help me out with something," he answered.

"Before we continue, Sir Damien, I want you to know that I recently discovered that Douglas's group has put you on their most wanted list. I am aware that you spoke with him the other day,"

He was taken aback by it. "How did you know that?”

"As you well know, Sir Damien, I have a wide network of contacts. It is simple for rumors to spread. So…”

"Eric, now that you are aware of what took place, I would really appreciate it if you could help me,"

"Sure, Sir Damien. Please let me know how I may be of assistance to you,”

He inhaled deeply and then dropped the volume of his voice. "I need to know if Douglas is still alive or if he has passed away. He had suffered severe injuries. If he does not have a powerful guardian angel, then it is too late for him to be saved. I can't do this without you,"

"Sir Damien, I will do all in my power to provide you with an update as soon as possible,"

He gestured by tapping his shoulders. "I'm going to have to count on you, Eric. This is the number you can use to get in touch with me. When you do make a call, be sure that no one is in the vicinity of you at the time. Understood?”

"This is crystal clear, Sir Damien,"
