Chapter 14

A good man loves both his enemies and his friends, A bad man loves only does who love him, A wicked man loves only himself.

Shirley got into her Lamborghini and was on her way to Andre's apartment, she stopped at a café and got him a latte, his favorite. It was very early in the morning but she just wanted to see him before she went  work.

She went up to his apartment and knocked on the door, after a few minutes of knocking, Damien opened the door and moved to the side so she could go in.

"Good morning D, I'm surprised your up by this time" she said eyeing Damien who was already up and dressed.

"Just thought I should prepare breakfast early" he stated

"Where's Andre?"

"He hasn't been home for some days now, says he's busy with work" Damien said

"Work?" She said to herself and joined Damien in the kitchen, she looked down at what he made and saw omelettes and bread in two different plates.

"If Andre's not home, who's the other one for?" She asked curiously

"Nina" he lied and walked past her holding the two plates
"If Andre shows up, give me a call, I'm worried" he continued and left the apartment.

"Where could he be?" Shirley muttered to herself and pulled out her phone to call Andre, on the second ring, he walked into the apartment.

"My prince!" She squealed and I rushed over to him. He looked uneasy and hid his left arm behind his back.
"Are you okay?" She asked worried

"Is Damien home?"  He asked

"He just left, why?"

"I didn't want him to overreact about this" he said and showed her his broken arm

"Oh my goodness! Andre what in the world happened to you!?" She exclaimed and reached out to touch his broken arm
"Or more like, what's been happening to you!?" She said taking note of all the scars and bruises on his body.

"N-nothing, you see this is why I didn't want Damien to be home, I didn't want him to overreact like you are now" he sighed

"Damien told me you've been 'working' does this have to do with your work! What work exactly are you doing !?"  She asked ignoring him. He let out a sigh and ran his hands through his shiny white hair. Andre was extremely handsome.

One of the reasons Shirley liked him so much was because of his unique face, but now there were some scars on his face and she didn't like that at all.

"Shirley, calm d-"

"Or is this because of the demon child?, don't tell me your still trying to childishly avenge your parents! They died 17 years ago, get over it!!" She yelled and regretted it the moment she saw a flash of depression in his clear green eyes.

When she first met Andre, he was always depressed and never said a word to anyone, not even Damien, it was only after a lot of therapy and pushing that he began to open up. Shirley was very aware of how traumatizing his parents death was for him, but here she was bringing it up carelessly.

"Andre I'm s-"

"Go" he breathed

"I promise I wo-"
