Chapter 8 - A Fresh Start

Juno and Damien had been busy that week, even if the crime rate lowered since Azure's recent "retirement" from villainy.

Damien convinced Juno to move into his house instead of living in the cheap apartment she's been living in.

Today was moving day and Damien was helping her with boxes.

He lifted a heavy box inside his house. Juno stood outside, looking up at the large house.

"I almost forgot your family was so…"

"Well off?" He finished.

"Well… yeah. Rich." She confirmed.

He chuckled lightly. Setting the box down and walk over to her.

"My parents are pretty wealthy, sure. But I separated myself from them a while ago now."

She looked over af him, curious.

"Really? And why is that?"

He shrugged, crossing his arms over his chest.

"My parents and I… we never really saw eye-to-eye. They wanted me to take over their corporate business. Be their successor. Follow in their footsteps and continue leading their company."

He paused. Then shook his head.

"They never asked me what I wanted to do… Just told me what they expected of me." He said softly.

He stepped closer to her and wrapped his arms around her. His face bent down in her neck. Damien sighs.

"I'm sick of it…" he mumbled.

Juno was stiff at first. Then soon softened up and hugged him back. Awkwardly patting his back with her hand.

"So… did you purchase the house on your own then?" She asked sheepishly.

"Yeah… I saved up my allowance and some extra cash from a few part time jobs for a while. Then I packed a bag and left."

He nuzzled further into the crook of her neck. Juno blushed slightly at the adjustment. She whispered.

"Uh… Damien?…"

"Hm?"

"Can we maybel take this inside?… I think the neighbors are staring…"

He reluctantly lifted his head and glanced over at the neighbors across the street, who were indeed looking.

"Tch. They need to mind their own damn business…"

He took Juno's hand and led her inside. He then got the box and took it inside too.

Once inside, Juno looked around. It was a normal house, but bigger than anything she's ever seen personally. Only in TV shows or movies.

Damien noticed hee reaction and he smirked.

"You like it?"

She turned to him.

"It's… fine." She downplayed it.

"Oh, 'just fine'? You sure?" He teased.

"Quiet." She hissed.

"Yes, love." He responded quickly.
