Damien’s POV)
I woke up feeling strangely energized. Why wouldn’t I? I won the deal yesterday, all thanks to my wife.
My wife.
Even thinking it felt dangerous.
But beneath the small victory, a bigger question coiled in my head like a snake. Why did she do that? Why did Evelyn step in, calm and radiant, and save me when she was supposed to be the one tightening the noose?
Maybe she’s already coming back to me. Maybe it’s part of the revenge game.
Jeez, I’m so confused.
Charles was right. I think I’m losing it. With Evelyn, I don’t think I can last long. I have to keep my guard up in the office, keep it up at home and even in my own head.
Maybe she’s really trying to love me again.
No. She’s not.
My mind feels split in two, one side defending her, the other defending me.
Well… jud
