"Where are we heading now?" Selena asked as she entered the car, she checked the time on her watch.
Damien noticed how she was looking better now, her face was still looking dull but he could tell that she would be fine.
"Where do you want to go?" Damien asked and he signaled the driver to drive. He relaxed himself on the chair as he closed his eyes.
"Don't you have work?" Selena asked, it was a Monday and he was suppose to be working.
"I'm sick Abigail, I got one week leave" Damien answered her questions still with his eyes closed. Well the truth was that Damien wanted to work but Alfred won't let him, the old man had asked him to stay home for a week.
"When are we flying out?" Selena asked. She had been itching to ask the question ever since, at first she thought it was inappropriate but she had to know.
Silence reigned in the car for a few seconds, Selena waited patiently for the answer to her question, even though his eyes were closed, she was sure he could sense her eyes on him.
"We can leave today, tomorrow or the next, when ever you want" Damien answered. His words were short like he was saving his breath.
Selena sighed and didn't say anything more, she looked outside and noticed that they were taking a different road.
"Where are we going?" Selena asked as she looked at the driver and then glanced at her husband.
"To meet a friend" Damien answered as he opened his eyes. "So you don't have anywhere you would like to go?" Damien asked again.
Selena thought about it for a few seconds and then shook her head, she didn't make any plans today.
"Great" Damien said as he looked at her and a small grin formed on his lips. "On our way back we'll go to the magistrate office, to make it official" Damien added.
Selena just gave a nod as she leaned on the head rest.
"Are you having second thoughts?" Damien asked
"No... I'm not...just that you are ...." Selena couldn't find the right words to say.
"I'm putting my life at risk?" Damien asked and he saw her give a nod. "Why do you care?" Damien asked. "In your line of work you don't care about what happens to other people right, you just do what you want to get what you want" Damien said, he didn't know wether his words hurt her but he had no intention of making her feel bad.
Selena looked at him, his way was so confusing that sometimes she wondered if he really wanted to help her.
"Why are you helping me?" Selena asked. They had no relationship, she was just a stranger who saved him and pretended to be his wife. They didn't know each other before the day of the accident, Damien's willingness to help her just made her so confuse.
"Should I stop?" Damien asked as he looked at her, he saw her smile a little before she shook her head. "Do you know who I am?" Damien asked.
"You are Damien Parker billionaire playboy who left the city after the death of his parents" Selena said the words like she was reading it from an imaginary piece of paper in front of her.
"Well that's what the media knows" Damien said. "I left the city after college, I wanted to start a new life somewhere else." Damien added.
"New life? Your parents were billionaires, you could have had the best life here, why did you choose to leave?" Selena asked.
"I wanted to build a name for myself, create my own empire" Damien said as his mind went back to past thoughts.
"And you succeeded" Selena said, of course he did.
"Point is Selena, you are safe with me, no one is going to harm you when you are with me" Damien said.
"What makes you think so?" Selena asked, she gave him a confused look as she tried to understand his words.
"There's what you call rank Selena, your agency is really not that powerful" Damien answered.
Selena got even more confused and she didn't bother to hide it, the expressions on her face gave it away.
"You are confusing me" Selena confessed.
"We are here boss" The driver said as he stopped the car.
Selena looked outside and wondered where here is, she had never been to this part of the city before, the place looked abandoned.
"What are we doing here?" Selena asked as she looked around the place.
"To talk to a friend" Damien answered he got down from the car and stretched his hand out to her. "Come on" Damien said as he helped her out of the car.
Selena accepted his hands and got out, they both walked into an empty ally, Selena had held Damien the entire time as she looked around, the place felt quiet too quiet and so she was high on alert just in case anything happens.
Damien could feel her closeness, he wondered if she was protecting him or she was clinging to him for protection.
