Everywhere was dead silent. Damien was breathing hard, the woman held her face in agony and pain. The punch punched out some of her teeths and blood spilled on her clothes. She screamed. 

But as she glanced at Damien, she doubted if he truly had mental issues. Then she saw saliva dripping from Damien's mouth. She smiled inwardly, this coward can't be normal she concluded.

"What did you do that for, idiot?" She violently asked Damien, she couldn't go near him because he stinks, coupled with the saliva dripping from his mouth.

"He doesn't like being called 'silly' he gets really violent when he hears that '' A nurse explained to her. She decided to not lose track of why she came here. She didn't have time, she would deal with him later.

She saw Lily feeling sad and downcasted upon seeing Damien's situation. She laughed at the poor girl and pretended to pet her.

"Sad at your lover's state of health?" She drawled as she asked Lily who was focused on Damien's face. 

It took Lily all the self control she had, to keep calm where she was. All she wanted to do was to grab Damien's face, and kiss away his sorrow.

"Wilfred! Take him to the car while I sign the papers" The woman ordered as she walked on, but not without spitting on Damien.

As they were dragged to the car, Damien took the chance to stare at Lily. A bird nest was better than the state of her hair right now. His heart bled. He made a resolution to get revenge for all his loved one that has been hurt.

When she was done with signing, they drove off to Lily's house. Damien was tied up in the car boot and his mouth was filled with clothes to make him keep quiet. He closed his eyes and slept off.

The driver and woman and the driver got down from the car. The woman pushed Lily out and the driver woke Damien up roughly. Damien fell down with a huge crash on the Lilyoor.

"Ring the bell," The woman ordered Lily and with shaky hands rang the bell. She held her breath, knowing that the worst part was about to happen.

 She has feared this moment. Her mother wasn't aware that she built tombstones for Damien's family, if she knew, she would have advised her against it.  

Her father is very rude and greedy. Right from the start he never liked The steels family. Reasons best known to him.

Whenever Damien comes over, Mr Baker finds everything he does annoying. What about now? Now that Damien is her husband ? Her parents could kill her for this.

A young woman in her mid forties opened the door. Lily's Mom, Mrs Baker. Mrs Baker stared at the visitors at the door post with a quizzical look. Her eyes widened upon seeing Lily and her condition.

"Lily!! Where did you go?!" Mrs Baker screamed but Lily just bowed her head, too ashamed to look up. 

"Who did this to you? Did you get into a fight? And oh! My! God! What happened to Damien, what's going on?" Mrs Baker asked, nearly running mad. The woman finally came up to answer all her questions.

"Well for starters, I'm Mrs Elisa Turner" She proudly assed the name, knowing the effect of mentioning her husband's name Turner. 

Damien looked up at Mrs Elisa, and everything began to make sense. Mrs Elisa Turner, was from a very inLilyuential family in the states. 

He has seen her once or twice with his mom, they seemed to be rivals. 

Could she be the one behind what happened yesterday night? His mom has never mentioned Mrs Elisa Turner as her best friend or long time friend.

There was something off and he knew it. Lily's head was still bowed down.

"U-m, h-o-w ca-n I help you Mrs Turner?" Mrs Baker asked Mrs Turner, in a stuttery voice. 

"That's more like it, you know, marriage forms have been filled, and Lily right here is now the legal wife to Mr Damien Steel over there" Mrs Baker eyes were as wide as saucers. How can her only child get married to that unfortunate being?

"U-m I don't understand ma'am, my daughter can't marry this, … psycho" Mrs Baker immediately rejected. Damien's heart broke. 

He could remember how he usually helped Mrs Baker all day long, helping her run errands and financially too, just because of his fake medical condition she rejected him. Not even an atom of sympathy for his just lost parents.

"That's useless Mrs Baker, Because," Mrs Elisa Turner paused as she pointed towards "Lily and Damien, they are starting their honeymoon right from your house, isn't that great?" She jeered.

"You know better than kicking them out, especially Damien, put an eye on him for me, would you?" Mrs Elisa Turner said. And with that she was gone. 

Mrs Baker just stared at the retreating figure of Mrs Elisa Turner, not knowing what to do, Her husband was still in bed having his siesta. 

Damien was still tied and he was in a very uncomfortable position, Wilfred had thrown him on the entry stairway and any little step he would fall and get severely injured.

Lily saw it and moved to help him but her mother stopped her with a sharp and disapproving voice.

"Don't you dare Lily!!" She growled.

Lily couldn't understand why her mother would treat Damien in this manner. After all he has done for her family, even if her family can't recognize that, She can! 

And she would be with Damien all through this mess. She cast one last look at Damien before she followed her mom inside.

Damien laid there taking in the rejection with a broken heart. He was tearing up inside. He missed his family. Now he'd been playing sports by now with his younger brother, Elvis. 

Damien's heart became cold as he remembered his brother's pained face as he was shot. That face would keep haunting him forever. 

Before Damien knew what was happening he was falling off the stairs.

Every step his body hit gifted him with pain. He had bruises on his body.

 He groaned in pain as his body hit the ground. He let out a muLilyilyed whimper.

He struggled to get up, loose himself and slowly walked in.

In the baker's sitting room.

"You've got what you wanted ,huh?" Mrs Baker asked her daughter harshly.

Lily broke out into sobs, she didn't do anything wrong, making tombstones for her best friend that lost his family isn't a bad thing. 

That was the least she could do for him. That's what made her cry more and seeing Damien in his psychotic state broke her heart more.

Damien walked in, not paying attention to any of them he went upstairs. He's not new to this place. He usually spends almost half his day here.

 He has his room he uses here whenever he comes around. As he climed the staircase his head hurt a lot. He had sharp pains at the side of his head.

He didn't expect the next time he'd come here to be in this manner. He walked to his room here and shut the door. 

Sliding down by the wall he let all his emotions out. The emotions he has been hiding all along, the emotions under this psychotic state. He cried. Hard! 

But he didn't cry out, not to alert Mrs Baker or wake Mr Baker up. He didn't know how long he'd keep up with this identity. 

He thought of the day's event from the strange man he met, it there strange exercises to Lily's entrance and finally here. He felt miserable.

 He heard footsteps coming upstairs and voices shouting. He stood up quickly and started pacing around foolishly.

Mr Baker entered the room, eyes as wide as saucers. Maybe he didn't believe what his wife had told him but now it's clear.

"It's you, it's you and your unfortunate family that put my family into this mess, you're running our life's" Mr Baker growled as he launched at Damien. 

SLAP!! Damien stared at Mr Baker as he gave him slaps. Mrs Baker just watched from the rear. She didn't know if she should feel guilty or feel ashamed.

SLAP!! Lily tried to step forward but her father stopped her.

"Don't you dare Lily!" Her father growled.

SLAP!!

"Dad!!! No!!! You're hurting him!!!" Lily screamed as she ran to where her Dad was standing.

Damien moved forward to support her and acted like a psycho. 

"And you are too ugly to be the husband of my daughter," he snapped angrily at him. Preventing Damien to help Lily.

"Oh I forgot, you both are now couples, you two stay right here. I don't want to see you anywhere in the main house," Mr Baker spat as he went out of the room angrily.

Mr Baker was really upset and ashamed. He wasn't concerned about his daughters welfare, he was concerned about the media.

What would the media say when they hear this, how would he deal with all questions and all? He shakes his head, and goes downstairs.

The room was silent. Lily looked at Damien as she held his cheek and felt sorry for him. She didn't expect that building that tombstone would drag Damien into this mess. 

"I-m I-m sorry, I didn't mean to drag you into this mess" She sobbed out. 

Damien looked at the broken girl in his front and his heart bled for her. 

He would have to play along till he has everything he needs for revenge then he'll strike. But for now, it's gonna be like this.

"I'm not ashamed of being your wife, I love you Damien. I've always loved you" Lily confessed as she held his hands.

Damien looked her in the eye, and what he said next made Lily angry, sad and confused.

"I am not ugly but a super man," He said as he watched Lily's eye fall. She averted her gaze back to Damien and smiled. He wiped her tears and mumbled,

 "I'll recover your scars!"

    The tray fell out of Damien's hands and the whole content on it shattered to the floor as Walter pulled the trigger. "Ah!!!" Lily screamed and covered her head in fear. She expected to be dead by now and have blood gushing out of her body but she is fine. The men were stunned by the attempt but some who still had interest in Lily sighed, they really wanted to have a taste of her. The bullet actually hit one of Walter's men, he killed him to show that he is not here for jokes and that it takes him nothing to kill anyone. Lily's head was still lowered, she was shivering and raised up her head, she looked at where he shot and her eyes widened to see the man dead on the floor with blood coming out of his corpse. A cry escaped Lily's lips but she held in. Damien nervously picked up the glass pieces from the floor, he put them back in the tray and stood up, he turned to leave.
