"I have no idea what you're talking about!" I quickly regained my composure, else it would be too easy for my panic to give me away.
Damon casually pocketed my phone and asked me, a smirk playing on his lips, "Oh really? Eliana, you've gone to great lengths to avoid me even making up a story about marrying Jones. But honestly, I was rather pleased when I found out it was a lie."
Just a couple of days ago, my mother had been urging me to accept Jones, warning me that eventually Damon would discover our sham marriage. Much to my surprise, he had found out today.
My thoughts were a chaotic mess. I forced myself to calm down. "I haven't made up anything. I am married to Jones. Even though I don't have feelings for him, I chose to be with him for the sake of our children. It's perfectly normal."
