Graveyard of Heaven

10. Eiden

"She admitted to marrying me for power, and there's no trace of positive energy from her," I grumbled, my worry evident. "She fears nothing, and I can't help but wonder if she's a potential threat to us after our families were rival from years and it cannot just vanish in a marriage. what if she's there weapon to our fall? "

Damian chimed in with a question, lifting an eyebrow in curiosity. "Are you more bothered by the fact that she doesn't give off a good vibe or that she isn't afraid of you, or do you worry that she might pose a significant danger to us all?" he inquired.

I let out a sigh, acknowledging the validity of Damian's question. "A bit of all three, I suppose," he admitted reluctantly. "It's concernig that she doesn't seem intimidated by my irresistible charms , and her lack of positive energy raises doubts. But the most pressing issue is the possibility that she might be a pawn in someone's plans to bring about our downfall."

Damian nodded, his expression turning contemplative. "It's crucial to be cautious," he said, his tone serious. "We should keep our guards up and remain vigilant at all times. If she's truly a threat, we need to be prepared to handle the situation accordingly."

"But she will be my wife and it's no good to treat her like like this , its just out of my character" I mocked not meaning a single word .And why would even I ?

Damien burst out laughing at me mocking imitation of my own words. "Not a bad impression," he chuckled, clearly amused by the whole situation. "But let's be real, you're not exactly known for adhering to your character.

I let out a sigh, acknowledging the truth in Damian's words. "You've got me there," I admitted with a wry smile. "But let's not make this into a bigger issue than it has to be, alright?" . It was an issue but let's not make him worry he has to sleep without any worries , I am enough for sleepless nights.

Damian raised an eyebrow, his amusement continuing to show. "Oh, you mean not making a big deal about the fact that you're marrying someone who doesn't fear you and gives off strange vibes, plus that someone is from your family?" he teased. "Come on, Eiden, this is like a plot straight out of a soap opera."

I couldn't help but roll my eyes at Damian's melodramatic comment. "Oh, please, spare me the theatrics," I said dryly. "This isn't a soap opera, it's real life. And in real life, sometimes you have no choice but to make less-than-ideal decisions."

Damian, always quick to find humor in any situation, playfully retorted. "Oh, don't worry, Eiden. Just picture it like this: you're the brooding, misunderstood anti-hero, and your bride-to-be is the mysterious femme fatale. It's practically Shakespearean."

I couldn't help but chuckle at Damian's description. "Shakespearean, huh? More like a tragicomedy, if you ask me," i replied, shaking head in amusement. "But I guess it does add a certain dramatic flair to the whole situation."

Damian chuckled, his expression mischievous. "See, that's the spirit! Embrace the melodrama. After all, every great story needs its fair share of drama and intrigue."

I rolled his eyes playfully. " You have an uncanny knack for finding humor in the most ridiculous situations." If I ever smile or have a laugh it's because of him , he doesn't fear me or fake himself just for the sake I am a mafia to him I am just his brother and I like it this way , I can't really tell him about my worries or anything that's show me weak cause he looks up to me afterall I am the big brother here .

Damian grinned, clearly relishing the back-and-forth banter. "Oh, come on, Eiden, you love it," he stated confidently. "Admit it, without me, your life would be dreadfully boring."

"Like seriously, it would have been more peaceful" I smirked.

Damian chuckled, clearly enjoying the witty exchange. "Ah, denial, the classic stage of acceptance," he teased, nudging me playfully. "You may not admit it openly, but deep down you know my presence adds excitement to your life."

I rolled my eyes, feigning reluctance. "Excitement, or chaos? Sometimes I can't tell the difference," I quipped, a hint of a smile playing at the corner of my mouth. "Where is Mia?" I enquired , she's my secretaryand it's noon and I don't even know my schedule.

Damian looked around, his attention temporarily shifting. "Mia? I don't know, haven't seen her in a while," he replied, scanning the surroundings.

. "Oh, you know on paper, Mia is supposed to handle administrative tasks, manage my schedule, and attend to my needs. But in reality..." my expressions turned slightly mischievous.

Damian's interest was officially piqued. "In reality?" he urged, a grin spreading across his face. "Don't leave me hanging, Eiden. You know I live for these little nuggets of information that you let slip.

I chuckled at Damian's eagerness. "Fine, I'll feed your curiosity," I said, my tone laced with mock reluctance. "Let's just say Mia's true value lies beyond her official job description. She's smarter, more observant, and far more capable than she leads on. On paper, she's a great secretary. In reality, she's an invaluable asset. She kills in a second, quick and sharp ." It's fun to mess around him he's the easiest target to ever find . "But don't get any ideas, Damian. Mia is off-limits."

Damian feigned innocence, putting on an exaggerated look of hurt. "Me? Have ideas? Perish the thought!" he protested.

Amused by Damian's feigned disappointment ."Disappointing or convenient?" he teased, a mischievous glimmer in his eyes. " Well , she's happily married with a kid."

Damian sighed dramatically, pretending to be wounded by Eiden's remark. "No , she's not tell me it's all lie . You wound me, Eiden" he said dramaticaly  placing a hand over his heart.

I laughed, thoroughly entertained by Damian's melodramatic act. "Oh, please, spare me the theatrics, Damian," I teased, by rolling eyes. "We both know your territory of shameless flirting."

Damian shrugged, a cheeky grin on his face. "Can you blame me? Charismatic and intelligent women are just impossible to resist," he quipped, his tone playfully defiant. "Besides, it's not my fault they find me irresistible in return."

"Well hazel is also charismatic and intelligent women." I don't know from where these words come out of my mind. Gosh I need to get her off my mind.

 

Is he already falling for her or just in mind  ?
After all he's a ruthless man .
