Liv

I entered the house and shut the door hard. I sighed of relief knowing that I was far from Damnon. I turned to face the house and leaned back to the door to hold my weak body. What was that all about?- I asked myself.

What was wrong with me? What is happening to me?

I couldn't even last five minutes in the ride home without my body receiving a glacial of tremble because of his presence.

I fixed my hand in the bag of chips and feed myself alot. Was there something missing that I didn't know about? I was nervous just thinking about it.

Maybe Damnon was onto something. Maybe we've meet before and did something I, just, don't recall. Something that made me scared of him.

I had to get to the bottom of this. I just couldn't continue like this, I mean I had days ahead together with the man and I had get a hold of myself.

Inorder to do this, I had to know where I first met Damnon and what exactly happened. Maybe knowing will help keep my body and mind at peace. And to accomplish that, I had to get someone who knows Damnon well.

I walked up to room after gaining some strength. I moved thinking of who could possibly help me acquire this information in a jiffy. I swung the door open and entered my big comfy room. The cotton carpet felt good under my feet when I took the heels off. I laid back on the fluffy bed. My body was back to normal and I was all giddy again.

I stayed in my room for a bit before I was called down for lunch. I was alone in the kitchen dining because dear Tania has not yet arrived back from the company. I could only imagine what she was doing at the moment. Sabastian came though and he answered me when I asked about Tania. He said

" Tania will arrive soon" short and straight to the point. I guess she still needed more time to process the news and believe it. Even I couldn't have imagined my father giving such a big position to his newly wedded wife. But what is done is done. It's not like we could change a thing. I shrugged inwardly.

But there was something else I really wanted to know...at the moment

" Hey sabastian," I called when he was about to leave my presence "do you know Damnon, personally?" I asked. I really needed to know if we, Damnon and I had shared a town before or something close to that. Sabastian had arrived when I was half way my meal already. He joined me at the table and sat opposite me. As he took in my expression. I think he was trying to see if I was serious about what I asked.

" It seems you have picked alot of interest in him" sabastian pointed out in a low voice.

" No, it's not like that." I breathed "I just want to know a litte bit of something about him that I could work with. He and I will be working together for some time and I felt I needed something so that I don't really feel like a stranger, you get me right" I reasoned. I had thought alot about this, and this was the best reason I came up with

" Truth is when I started working for Mr Williams, Damnon had never once shown up. so I really don't know much about him. But what I am sure about is that Mr Williams, took Damnon in at a point in Damnon's life where he had lost hope and wished to take his own life. Mr Williams and Damnon grew close, he was like a son to him. And at the time they met, Mr Williams was grieving his wife aswell. It was like there were destined to be together. They both filled each other's voids" not the story I was looking for.

" So this whole time where was he?" I asked what I wanted to know in particular. I didn't care much about his affairs with this family.

" I really don't know. I heard he was out exploring"

How helpful, sabastian- I snarled at him from inside my head. This was not what I want.

" Exploring... That's interesting" I nodded my head to that. So there was a chance I met the man in one of his journeys, I wonder which one?

" Is that all?" He asked

" Thanks alot for the information, am grateful." I smiled gracefully. Atleast I knew he explored, it was somewhere to start.

" Anytime Mrs Williams"

" By the way, have you heard from Tennessee?" I asked. I might be here yet my husband wasn't there anymore. I needed to know something.

" He is still in a coma, and like I said before, I will let you know when he wakes up" Sabastian rose up

" Wait!," I stopped him from leaving " can I visit him sometime" I asked.

" I will let you know if his doctor can allow visitors" he smiled at me before leaving.

That's just great. I didn't get the kind of information I desired and I needed permission to see my husband from his doctor.

I needed to study more about Damnon, this means there is another person I could ask about where he was. That was Tania, but after she was okay with the news. If that failed, I will have the option of asking the man himself which was something I wasn't looking forward to.

Tomorrow, I would meet him again, I had to find a way to keep myself from not freaking out for the time being.

After I was done with lunch, I went looking for Sabastian. I needed to request something of him.

I found him in what looked like a study. He was going through the book shelves asif looking for something important. I moved closer to the small ladder Sabastian was standing on, as I scanned the small but packed room with shelves filled with books.

" Hey again" I greeted with a bright smile.

" Is there something you need, Mrs Williams?" He asked in a rough voice not sparing me a glance. He fixed the book he got back in the shelf and roughly got another.

" I was wondering if the wedding photos have arrived?" I asked. I only got to see my husband for a few hours on our wedding day. I knew he was old and fading away but I would like to be a memorable wife during his last days. I needed atleast a wedding photo of his.

" Mr Williams requested that they all be destroyed." Sabastian told me. I gasped.

" All of them?" I asked shocked alittle. Sabastian sighed. I guess I was distracting him too much. He turned to looked at me. I felt a little chilly.

" Did you want something?" He asked.

" I thought I could get a photo of him in my room. I barely saw him last time, I just need a daily reminder" I explained.

" I will see what to do. But could you excuse me, am really looking for something important. I just need to focus" Sabastian requested.

" Of course" I nodded and walked out quietly and carefully not to make a sound.
