That day, the Hart family was visited by the very benefactor who had saved them a year ago."Ms Blackwell, what brings you to our home?" Evan asked, his tone deferential.Damian Blackwell, clad in a perfectly tailored black suit, stood with two imposing bodyguards flanking him. He exuded a noble, regal air, like a monarch among mortals. His presence alone created an oppressive weight that made everyone in the room uneasy—a sense that he was untouchable, an otherworldly force to be feared.Damian said nothing. His piercing gaze lingered briefly on Evan."Mr Blackwell is here to discuss some matters with you," Cole Brennan, his subordinate, quickly explained.Evan's composure faltered for a moment, but he recovered and replied respectfully, "Why must Mr Blackwell come personally? He could have informed me, and I would have come to his office."The man standing before him could shake the entire state with a word. Evan knew better than to say anything offensive—especially as they remained

So had followed the downfall of the Hart family.Luna was orphaned at the age of six. Her parents had passed away in a car accident. She had no siblings or anyone to take her in, so her uncle's family adopted her and took over her parents' business.Her uncle and aunt were very kind to her. They raised her like their own daughter—if anything, they spoiled her more than their biological children. Her cousins treated her exceptionally well. Especially Evan, who protected her like his own little sister.They lived a relatively happy life together.Until things suddenly began to fall apart.The Hart family business, led by her uncle and Evan, began to collapse. Investors refused to invest. Their products were blacklisted from the market. A few failed deals drained all their savings.Their company was on the verge of bankruptcy.If things continued that way, they wouldn't last even a month before ending up on the streets.To make matters worse, her uncle's health deteriorated under relentl

The next day.Fresh sunlight infiltrated the room through the parted curtains. Gradually, the whole place filled with brightness to the brim.The room felt alive and refreshing, but for Luna, it felt like a nightmare."God!" Luna grasped her head in her hands and cursed under her breath. "Just what in the world did I do last night?"She glanced to the side and saw a pill and a glass of water placed neatly on the table. "It must be Sierra." She smiled to herself and quickly took the pill. After the effect set in, she felt much better.Sitting down, she tried to recall what sort of devilry she had committed last night. But her memories were all mangled. She remembered blackmailing Sierra to come with her to the club, but other than that, everything was hazy.When Luna picked up her phone, she was startled. Twenty-seven messages from Sierra. After clicking on them, she burst out laughing.She laughed so hard she almost cried.If Sierra had witnessed how Luna laughed after learning she ha

What followed that slap was silence.Pin drop, soul-grappling silence.It was as if everyone in the club had disappeared. The silence was so intense that only Damian and Luna seemed to remain in that place; the rest didn't exist, the rest didn't matter.People silently prepared themselves to witness bloodshed in the club.Damian's face had turned to the side from the impact of the slap. He was stunned. His eyes were wide.Luna had done something he could never have expected.Cole Ramsey, his subordinate, snapped out of his stupor."How dare you?! Do you know who he is?" His voice roared through the silence, shaking everyone with fear. Looking at his Boss's terrifying expression, he was not only horrified, but he was also enraged.How could he let this unspeakable thing happen? If only he hadn't been standing a few steps back, he would never have allowed anything to touch his Boss.He charged at the insolent girl, his hand reaching into his belt to draw his gun.Blood was going to be

"M-Mr. Blackwell, I-I really..." The woman could see her situation clearly. Even if this man killed her right here and right now in front of everyone, no one would even shed a tear for her sake out of fear of him.In desperation, she lunged forward and grabbed his leg.Everyone was shocked. His subordinates were even more speechless.People who knew who Damian was were aware of his mysophobia.They silently thought: If this woman had any chance to survive before, now she has lost it too.Yet the woman didn't know it."Step away." A cold voice resonated on the second floor. People's hearts jolted into their throats. Some of them wanted to secretly escape, yet none dared to move. As if they were terrified of attracting any sort of attention toward them.The woman was terrified to the point where her sanity was ruined. She didn't listen."I said step away." His voice grew colder than the coldest winter. His hands tightened slightly.The woman still didn't listen.It happened so quickly t

Sierra didn't intercede as Luna drank again. After all, the Luna she knew, once she had decided to do something, there was no way to stop her. And today, Luna had decided to waste herself completely.'It must be because Ethan had never allowed her into clubs before. In defiance, she is behaving this way today.'Sierra hadn't missed the pained expressions on Luna Hart's face when she was looking at the happy couple dancing.Sierra didn't care much. Today, she was not here to be a drinking partner but a babysitter to watch over Luna. She just waited for Hart to either drop dead drunk or get tired and agree to leave.As Luna took another sip from the glass, she heard Sierra's voice."Lulu, I'm going to use the restroom." After saying that, Sierra glared at Luna. "So don't you dare leave this spot, or I'm going to ditch you. Have fun finding a lift back home this late at night.""Why the glare? Don't you even trust me?" Luna pouted."Not even a bit!""You hurt me, Sisi." Luna clutched her
