Chapter 58:

Damien’s P.O.V

I love you, Damien.

NO!

It can’t be! This is exactly what I had been trying to avoid, haven’t I? I had told Tia specifically that I couldn’t do feelings, that I couldn’t trust another woman with my heart after what Marian did! I even told her my story. Even my family, even Daniel didn’t know all the details but I’d told Tia...

Why did I tell her all that? Especially when I had sworn off relationships for good. Maybe it really was my fault? Had I gotten involved without even wanting to? Had I given her the wrong message all along? But what had I done than any other man wouldn’t have?

Was it the gifts I’d given her? But I’d given gifts to everyone, to Daniel and his new bride and even to Victor and his wife.

“Oh! Damien, these look wonderful!” Tia looked at me with her wide green eyes filled with joy. “But they’re so expensive; they must have cost you a fortune!”

“Not really.” I told her the truth. “Do you like them?”
