Chapter 17: Do you trust me Elena

So, Damien," she began cautiously, "why did you kill Liam's family?" Her voice was low and filled with the faintest hint of skepticism.

Damien's eyes flashed with annoyance at her question. He leaned back in his seat, running a hand through his dark hair as he let out an exasperated sigh. "Do you trust me Elena," he asked with a very low tone. "Do I really need to explain everything to you? Before you believe me"

"Seems like I already know more than I should," she said, trying to hide her disappointment

Damien let out another frustrated sigh before finally relenting. He turned to face her, his gaze piercing through her defenses. "Fine, When we get back, I'll explain it all."

As the car pulled up outside Damien's opulent mansion, Elena hesitated for a moment before stepping out onto the smooth marble driveway. She couldn't help but feel a sense of unease amidst the grandeur surrounding her.
