Damien stormed out of his house, unable to shake off his anger and frustration. He raced to Elena's house, hoping she could hear him out and help him make sense of the situation. But when he got there, she was nowhere to be found. The door opened, revealing a group of reporters and cameramen surrounding the living room.
"Damien! We're here to ask you about Candace's claims!" one journalist shouted, their microphone shoved in his face.
Damien hesitated for a moment before pushing past them towards the back door. "Fuck this noise," he muttered under his breath as he stormed out into the garden, jumped across the low fence and goes to a park.
He sat down on a bench and buried his face in his hands, feeling like he was losing control of his life. He couldn't believe that Candace was doing this to him, that he had to spend yet another day confronting journalists and trying to defend himself against their accusations.
