“She’s my wife.”

“That didn’t answer the question, Damien,” Leo clips.

“Annabelle.” Damien softens his voice. “Come here.”

“She doesn’t know her own name,” I tell him. Leo lets the man pass. I step to the side some. The girl stares up at him.

“Belle.” He reaches out to cup her cheeks, but she steps back. Damien’s whole body goes rigid.

“It’s okay.” One of the nurses rushes toward all of us. “Annabelle is in Damien Shadow’s care.”

“Come on, gorgeous.” Leo guides me back into our room.

“Should we just leave that? She has a cut on her head.”

“Damien Shadow is an asshole, but he’s not a woman beater. I don’t think.”

“You don’t think?” I hiss.

“He keeps to himself. Never seen him with anyone when he does grace an event. Didn’t know he got married, but I suppose he wouldn't be one to have a wedding.”

“Leo.”

“Trust me, he’s not going to hurt her.”

“How can you be so sure?”

“I saw the look in his eyes.”

“What does that mean?” I ask, confused.

“That is a man obsessed. A little scared too.”

“You’d know,” I tease. Leo grabs me, pulling me into his warm body. His arms wrap around me to hold me close.

“I would,” he agrees.

“Fine,” I huff. Leo leans down, kissing away my worries.

For all I know this, Annabelle might be getting her own Prince Charming with a fairytale ending.

Though I think that man might be more beast than charming.
