Damien's POV ♣️ .
" Hey!" I greeted as I entered the kitchen. I wrapped my arms around her waist from behind and she smacked me with a hot spoon.
" Ouch!"
" How many times do I have to tell you to stop doing that when I'm in the kitchen!" She exclaimed and I pouted.
" Come here you big baby."
She poured some cold water on it and I felt instantly relieved. Luckily, there were no blisters.
" Better?"
" No. But you can kiss it better."
She rolled her eyes and kissed the spot and I smiled and hugged her. She had been down after what happened at the hotel.
" So how are you?" I asked placing my chin on her head.
" Honestly, I've been better." She replied sighing.
" I'm sorry you had to experience all that. I shouldn't have accepted the mission."
" It's okay Dam. I'll be fine."
" Are you sure?"
" Yes."
" You know if you need anything or anyone to talk to you can always come to me right?"
" Yes Damien." She sighed and I smiled.
" Now give me a smile." I said and she rolled her eyes.
" I'm not going to leave till you do." I mused and she sighed. She smiled softly and I grinned.
" There we go. That's the smile I know and love!"
Shit!
Did I just say love?
I hope I don't freak her out.
She rolled her eyes and continued what she was doing.
" Dam could you watch this for me?, I have to go pee."
" Sure."
" Thanks." She gave me a chaste kiss on my cheek and went upstairs.
My phone rang and I saw that an unknown number was calling me.
" Hello?"
" Hello am I speaking with Agent Myers?"
" Yes this is he. Who am I speaking with?"
" This is Agent Daxon."
" Agent Daxon, is there any problem?"
" No not at all. I am actually hoping to speak with Agent Reynolds. I couldn't get her number so I decided to call you instead."
My green eyed monster decided to poke his head in that moment.
" She's not here right now. May I ask why you want to speak with her?"
" Okay. Well she told me to contact her when we have a lead on where Mario is hiding."
" Oh. Uhm, Mia is not feeling too well. She's really tired so you can go ahead without her."
" Okay."
" Thank you for calling though."
" It's my pleasure. Bye"
" Yeah, bye."
I cut the call just as Kimia entered.
" Who was that?"
" Oh it was just an agent calling about the last mission. It's nothing really."
" Okay." She said. She turned off the stove and hugged me. I wrapped my hands around her smiling.
I loved the fact that she was opening up to me. She wasn't cautious about anything. She hugged me when she felt like, and she told me how she really felt. And that made me really happy.
" You wanna go out for some fresh air?"
" Sure." She mumbled.
" But I have to change first."
She gestured to her current clothes that had food stains all over and I smiled.
" Come on." I said pulling her up the stairs.
I decided to change my clothes too so I picked a random shirt and a pair of jeans and went to the bathroom to change.
I got out to see Mia standing in the middle of the room changed. I moved towards her to kiss her but she stopped me.
" Where you going to tell me?" She asked with a hurt expression on her face.
My heart was thundering in my chest. I didn't know what to say. How was I supposed to tell her that I lied about getting her and Rosa out?
" Mia I can explain?"
" Then explain."
" I-I-I-."
" God!, Damien! Agent Daxon called to tell you about the lead on Mario and you told him I was not available?! Damien Mario got away!, Again!"
I mentally let out a breath of relief.
She hasn't found out.
" Mia you're not ready to-"
" Not ready?!, Damien it wasn't your decision to make!"
" Mia you're not ready!, Ever since that day you haven't been yourself-"
" It wasn't your decision to make. You're not my babysitter Damien! I can make my own decisions. I wanted to do this for-"
" Lorenzo?!, Mia he was a criminal! He had it coming!"
" But he died because of me!, He took the bullet for me!"
" I know and I'm grateful for that but you can't go around getting revenge for everyone who got hurt for you! You just have to forget it."
" Forget it?!, Telling me to forget it is like telling me not to get justice for my father."
" Your father is different."
" There's not much difference Damien. You're not the one who should've died!, You're not the one who has to bear the guilt! You're not the one who has nightmares. You don't see his face every single night!" She said tears rolling down her eyes.
" This wasn't your call Damien. I wanted to do this for me. Now I'll never be at peace with myself knowing that Mario is still out there." She said walking out of the room.

Kimia's POV 🖤.
I'm incredibly pissed off.
It wasn't his decision to make.
I sat down at the dining table and sighed.
I needed to vent my anger.
I needed someone to talk to.
I would usually talk to Rosa but she wasn't here and if I wanted to reach her, I would have to ask he who shall not be named.
The only other option was Nina and the ladies so I decided to video call them.
" Amelia!" They exclaimed as their faces came on to the screen.
" Hey guys!"
" It's been such a long time since we talked." Nina said and I smiled.
" Yeah almost about a week now. Sorry for not calling Ian and I have been kind of busy."
" Trying to make babies." Faye mused and I started coughing.
" Faye!" Rhia exclaimed.
" What?!"
" Lia are you okay?" Olie asked.
" Yes. I'm fine." I said after I finally calmed down.
" Where's Ian?" Marcella asked and I bit my lip.
" Upstairs." I replied curtly.
" Oh oh!, Trouble in paradise?" Nina asked and I sighed.
" You have no idea." I replied. I was already wracking my brain for what to tell them if they ask for an explanation.
Great!, More lies!
" Come on, what's wrong?"
" So I'm sure Ian told you about my aunt." I said and they nodded.
The day of their going away party they I ran out of the room crying when Faye told me about how her husband died, Damien had to come up with a story of how my aunt also died in a similar incident.
" So I got offered a job in the same fire department my aunt used to work in."
" That's great!" Marcella exclaimed.
" Yeah it is. So I told them that I would think about it. So they called earlier this morning to know my decision but Ian declined!"
" What?!" They exclaimed.
" It wasn't his decision to make! He didn't even tell me they called. I was just scrolling through my phone and I saw a message from them telling me they understand why I declined!"
" I understand how you feel Lia. My husband did the same thing once." Marcella said.
" I'm just so mad right now. I wanted to do this for my aunt. I wanted to make her proud. I want to help my uncle. Sure I have a job but it doesn't pay that much! I just wanted to-"
" Lia I understand why Ian did that. He's scared." Olie said softly.
" Of what?!"
" Amelia your aunt died in a fire!, He doesn't want that to happen to you too. What about your uncle?, How do you think he will feel if he lost his wife and his niece?" Rhia reasoned.
" It's a really scary thing. Sometimes when Niel would leave for work and I wasn't sure if he would come back." Faye added.
" Sure it wasn't the right thing to do but he did it because he cares." Nina said.
" Why didn't he tell me that he's afraid instead of going behind my back and rejecting it?"
" Men will never tell you when they're scared. Their egos won't allow them." Marcella said and they all rolled their eyes.
" Talk to him." They said before hanging up.
" Mia!" Damien called softly behind me.
" Don't. I'm not ready to talk."
I ran upstairs to our room and sat on the floor.
I am so confused.
