Chapter 82 Eighty two
Irene’s POV

I fixed my gaze on Xavier’s back as he walked away while carrying the shopping bags in his hands. He claimed that he wanted to act like a loving husband and the only thing I did was scoff as soon as he turned away from me. Damian suddenly popped out of nowhere with a very confused look on his face as he waltzed toward me with his hands slid down his pocket.

“You were here all along?” I questioned as he began moving closer toward me.

He bobbed his head as he stood before me and brought out a picture from his pocket. He pointed the picture to me as he raised a brow. I was at a loss for words to say as I got a clearer look at the image that he stretched to me. I blinked my eyes continuing to be sure that I was seeing right! Steve said that he had destroyed a lot of evidence that could point to him and his sister, Erior, so what I was doing there at the moment was what I couldn't decipher.

My eyes blinked a couple of times as I took my gaze off the picture and glanced off! There was no way Damian knew that was Erior since her face was blurred and mine was blurred as well but since that was the cloth that I wore on the day that I went missing, I was damn sure that he knew that I was the one.

“Are you sure that there is something that I do not need to know about?” Damian asked as I glanced off, making a huff. On seeing my reaction, a scoff escaped my lips and as much as I was trying to put on a bold font before Damian, my heart thudded in my cheat as it palpated in fear.

I might have canceled out on my plans of exerting revenge on behalf of Erior, mainly because Steve was starting to ask suspiciously and their story wasn't adding up in any way when I had a second thoughts about it.

However, Xavier wouldn't listen to any of my words, and he would tag me as a betrayal, and worst of it all, he could have me murdered because he might have thought that I conspired with both Steve and Erior if he finds out about the truth.

I turned to look at Damian with a glare as I crossed my hands over my chest. “I have no idea about what you are talking about or where you are driving exactly but I do know that you have no right to be asking me about that picture and how in the world does that even look like me” I almost screamed at the top of my lungs but quickly toned down my voice because Xavier suddenly glanced behind him.

I forced out a smile that faltered easily as I fixed my gaze back to Damian who stared at me as if the answer to his question were boldly written on my face. I made sure that I kept a straight expression on my face so that he wouldn't be able to read through me in any way.

“You do know that you lied to Xavier about your whereabouts and you know what he would do to you when he finds out that you lied to him and you met with someone on the day that you went missing!” Damian said as I rolled my eyes while shaking my head.

“Do you think that I care or give two fucks because you do not expect me to claim to be what I am not I would advise you to

get the fuck out of my way” I snapped at him as he turned to look behind him to be sure that Xavier wasn't looking.

He grabbed me by the wrist and tightened his grip around my wrist.

“It seems that you haven't forgotten your real place!” His eyes blazed as he clenched his fist by his side.

I laughed uproariously before jerking his hands off me.

I took a step forward, standing before him as he towered over me. I placed my hands on my waist and the next thing I did was slap him across the cheek. His eyes widened, almost popping out of its socket as he placed his hands on his cheek.

“You dare slap me? Where in the world did you get the audacity and effrontery to hit me across the face” He gritted his teeth as he clenched his fists.

I filled the closure between us, staring right at him in the eye as a smile crept at the corner of my lips. “Have you forgotten that you once slapped me? I guess that we are even now!”

He scoffed as he grabbed a fistful of my hair and jerked my head upward in a bid to face him. “You have forgotten about your place! I am still curious about where you got the sudden temerity to stand up to me and you surprised me by reminding me about slapping you once. If you have forgotten, I would gladly remind you that you are nothing but a lowly maid to me! I am going to deal with you and actually pull all your hair off till you learn respect!” An evil grin formed on his face.

Despite all the pain that he caused me by pulling my hair, I didn't say a word and annoyed him by bursting out in laughter. I made sure that I didn't whimper or wince and kept laughing irritated.

I could see the confusion on his face as he stared right into my eyes. He stared deep inside my eyes as if he was trying to read through me.

“Have you forgotten that you said that inside the house, I am nothing but a maid and outside the house, I am Xavier’s wife!” My upper lips curled.

I gathered all the strength in me and kicked him in the groin.
