Someone was knocking on the door. Damien thought that it was Julie, but he had a second thought that it wouldn't be her because if she was the one she wouldn't be knocking but she would have rather sneaked in.
When he got the door, it was a maid who stood at the door.
"Good evening sir", she bowed as she greeted. She was also holding an item in her hands. He didn't have to ask her what she needed, he's reaction had already questioned her. "Sir, Ms. Julie h-had told me to get her something", she tried not to sound shaky while speaking.
Jasmine, including the other maids had always been scared of Damien and dared not lie to his face. At the same time, they also adored him and found him charming but his reticent and serious attitude always got the better view of how they saw him.
"What's in it?", he questioned. "Ms.Julie told me to get her a frame, sir", she sounded more like she was putting the blame on Julie though she hadn't gotten castigated yet. Damien found this so absurd, that he began to think on why she needed a frame.
After Jasmine had brought the box into his room and had left, he remembered what had happened to Julie that morning. How he had pulled her bleeding hand forward, so he could see it properly.
(flashback)
_"How did you get yourself injured?, I warned you earlier, now how did this happen?"_
He could remember very well that she was coming out from the gallery. So he went to his gallery to inspect the place and he was able to detect that one of his artwork was missing.

Taylor managed to pull Diane who was so drunk, as they walked out of the bar.
(Earlier)
After he had called the driver, he came back to the spot where he left Julie, only to spot that she was no longer there.
On his search for Julie, he was able to find Diane, he found her and Justin making out in a room. The two didn't notice his presence and were so focused in whatever thing they knew they were doing. Taylor who found this so odd, tried to get Diane out of Justin's arms but Justin wouldn't let go of her and Taylor ended up receiving a blow from Justin, who had gotten aggressive because Taylor was ruining his moment with Diane.
It seemed like Justin wasn't satisfied with the blow, and was ready to dash more blows on Taylor. Taylor had no choice but to pin him to the bed and threw massive punches on him, which made him unable to move and groan in pain.
Taylor placed his long jacket on Diane, so it could conceal the already exposed parts of her body.
After they had gone back to the bar, the idea of calling Julie had crossed his mind, so he decided to call Julie and she answered the call, and was able to tell him that she had already left because she couldn't wait any longer.
After some minutes of waiting, the driver came and they got into the car. Diane fell asleep on his shoulder while they were in the car. Pulling Diane out of the bar wasn't something easy, she was so obstinate and always insisted in going back but at last, here they were going home.

Julie quietly opened the door to the room. The lights weren't switched on, this made it hard for her to see a thing. She wasn't planning to switch on the light because she didn't want Damien to be aware of the fact that she had just returned.
While she was trying to sneak in quietly, the light of the room got turned on.
This frightened Julie, that she ended up loosing her balance and was about to fall to the ground but she held on to a figure standing in front of her with her eyes firmly closed.
She gently opened her eyes, only to find herself holding on to Damien tightly. She immediately took her hands off him and gathered all the courage to say, "Why did you turn off the light?, Did you plan to kill me?".
He didn't answer her but headed straight to the sofa. He sat with his knees crossed and asked her, "Where have you been the whole night?".
Julie was trying to make up excuses in her head and was later able to boldly say, "I needed to clear my head, so I went out with some friends". "Are Taylor's friends now your friends also?". "Ehm, yeah, No", she stumbled in her words until she finally spoke out, "I'm tired of being locked up in your prison, so I just felt I had to hang out with Taylor's friends".
After a brief moment of silence, Julie made up her mind to go to the bedroom but Damien snapped at her, "I'm not done with you!!, And what were you doing with my paintings?!".
Julie noticed the box and she remembered that she was expecting something from one of the maids. She tried to act smart and said, "Well, I decided that we couldn't act as a couple without albums and pictures of the two of us lying around the room, you know?, we have to act like we are madly in love, so we need this things, that's why I got the frame. I have to go now, I'm really tired", after talking, she continued her footsteps.
Immediately, Damien stood on her way, he drew her hand and he twisted it, "You are more stubborn than I thought, you think you are too smart and don't know when to stop talking, I asked what were you doing with my things, you know what I mean, so don't try to act smart".
Julie couldn't hide the fact that he was hurting her, so she whimpered. She couldn't bear the pain he was now inflicting on her because she had already gotten hurt by someone else in that same spot, now he was making it worse by twisting it hard. She tried to let go off her hand but the more she tried, the more hard he twisted. And it seemed like he was not going to stop until he got an answer, she said sounding in pain, "I accidentally broke something in the gallery". "What were you doing there in the first place?", he interrogated.
She thought that since she had given him an answer he would stop but he didn't and the pain got worse, she had no option but to fight back by pulling his hand, but when she tried to, she ended up getting pinned to the wall tightly and he whispered into her ears, "This should be the last time you act too smart or touch any of my stuffs". After saying this he let go of her.
She had hit her lips when he had pinned her to the wall and now it was bleeding. He didn't care to know wether she was in good shape, rather he went back to the sofa and turned his attention to his computer. Julie angrily walked out of there and headed to the bedroom. She made sure she recorded this day and swore to make him pay for punishing her like this.
