I lingered around for a little longer, wanting to know what Damian and the unnamed woman were talking about. So I took slow steps and strained my ears in order to stay around for a little longer.
But unfortunately, I was not sneaky enough to escape Damian's senses.
He gave me a calm look that told me that he needed me gone as soon as possible. So I had no choice but to go and lock myself in my room until the guest was gone.
I might be Damian's 'partner' for now, but it was pretty evident that we were not equals. And we would never be equals as long as I did not hold my own power.
'Tsk, I knew all this before I took Damian's hand. So why…is it hurting me now? I should not feel like this…'
But just because my brain knew this did not mean that my heart knew it either.
In the end, I decided to take a cold shower to wish away all my worries and thoughts. It might be a little cold but the water would surely numb my senses enough to make me feel better…right?
