[Damon]

“How long are we going to stay here?” Harry whines, staring at his phone and back at me. “I just got the call from dad. Again. He wants to know how close I am to appeasing the Gordons.” He groans, running a hand down his face. “Now, what am I supposed to tell him? That I’m stuck with my best friend, who refuses to act like a normal human being. I mean, for God’s sake, Damon, you were given a discharge almost five hours ago. What are we still doing at the hospital?”

  • After My Last Breath   Chapter 194

    [Elara]I don’t know what to think when I find Damon and Griffin standing there like that—like they are this close to tearing each other apart.If not for me walking into whatever they have been grumbling about, I wouldn’t be surprised if they had already done that.They don’t even look at me as I step out from the bedroom and into the hallway. It’s only when I clear my throat that they both turn to look at me.Damon looks confused, while Griffin looks… well, as calm as ever.Damon is the first to speak up, pointing his finger at Griffin. “What is he doing here?”I bring my gaze back to Griffin, who now seems to have taken a liking to my door and is leaning with his back against it. The corner of his lips tugs upward, as if he is finding all this amusing.I sigh. “He came to help me settle in. Why?” I look back at Damon, frowning. “Is that a problem?”My question catches him off guard.For a second, all he does is open and close his mouth, as if he doesn’t know how to answer.And whil

    When I finally reach the condo, I get out of the car and take the elevator to her floor.I stop outside her door, hesitating for a moment before knocking.I look down at the small gift in my hand—the one I was supposed to give her when we landed—and a strange heaviness settles in my chest. It’s just a pair of earrings, but I remember the way her eyes lit up when she saw them at the mall with Cora years ago, how she lingered for a second longer than usual, like she really wanted them but didn’t dare say it out loud.And what did I do?I didn’t even let her finish looking. I dragged her out like her wishes didn’t matter, like she didn’t matter.Later, I bought the same pair for Hannah, thinking it meant something, but she never even wore them.Still, I kept them all this time, and now I don’t even know why—maybe because, somewhere deep down, I always knew they were never meant for anyone el

    I freeze for a second, then roll my eyes. "Griffin. What the hell are you doing here?"He lets go of me, chuckling softly as he moves to flick on the lights.The room brightens, and I turn to see him leaning against the wall, arms crossed, looking way too pleased with himself."I told you I was coming," he says, his eyes gleaming. "Or did you think I was joking?"I glare at him. "I thought you meant you'd come later, not that you'd already be here waiting for me."He shrugs, completely unapologetic. "I wanted to surprise you.""Well, consider me surprised," I mutter, dropping my bag on the couch. "But next time, maybe just knock like a normal person instead of lurking in the shadows.""Where's the fun in that?" he asks, smirking.I shake my head, trying to hide the smile that's threatening to break through.Damn him. He always knows how to get under my skin in the most annoying yet charming way possible.I glance around the apartment, noticing how everything looks brand new, like it's

    [Elara]“Are you sure you want to stay here…” Damon looks up at the massive condo in front of him, a little less sure of himself, “…when you can stay at home?”Home. I almost laugh at the very concept.He probably doesn’t realize that the place he’s calling home is not my home anymore. It never was. For me, it was a place that provided a roof but no warmth. Four walls but no security. A bed but no peace.The memories of that place are still fresh in my mind, especially from when I first moved in after getting married to him. Not only did he make sure the maids and other staff members knew my status in the family by treating me like garbage in front of them, but he also gave the entire household the freedom to mistreat me however they liked.They would hand me a burnt breakfast while serving him a perfect one, and when I complained, he would turn a blind eye. They would spill tea on me “accidentally,” yet he would still ask me to apologize because, apparently, it was my fault for being

    [Beatrice]I stare at the phone, frowning so hard I can feel the lines etching into my skin.Damn that son of mine.Damn him to hell.After everything I did for him—after all the sacrifices I made, all the schemes I pulled to keep this family from falling apart—he still has the nerve to defy me.To choose that useless woman over his own family.I pace the length of the living room, my heels clicking against the marble floor, my hands clenching and unclenching at my sides.After seeing Hannah’s true colors, I realized I had been wrong about Elara. Perhaps I misjudged her. Went too hard on her. Made her go through all that humiliation for nothing.Yes, I regretted letting her go. I regretted it because seeing Damon after she was gone was far more painful than I had imagined.But my regret was short-lived. Sure, she might not have been as cunning and scheming as her sister, but that didn’t make her useful.She was a good-for-nothing housewife back then. And she would still be the same no

    [Damon]It happened too quickly.One moment I was walking beside Elara, enjoying the warm sun on my face, and the next—bam—there were cameras everywhere, microphones shoved in her face, reporters screaming questions like they’ve been dying to ask them for years.And the worst part? She froze.I saw it in her eyes—the momentary panic, the way she tensed up, like she was bracing for impact.I was about to step in front of her, shield her from the chaos, but then something changed.Her expression shifted. The panic vanished, replaced by something colder, harder, more controlled.And before I could even process what was happening, she grabbed the microphone right out of the reporter's hand and spoke.“You’re asking the wrong person. The day Mr. Blackwood and I got divorced, I took my daughter and left the country. Whatever happened after that has nothing to do with me.”The silence that followed was deafening.Then, like a dam had broken, the cameras started flashing again, the questions

    [Griffin]“I just got the word, sir,” Liam says hurriedly, rushing into the room.I fix my tie, sparing him only a brief glance. “Continue.”“You wanted me to keep an eye on the activities of Damon Blackwood. So, I did just that. According to my sources, he’s looking for Ms Gordon’s whereabouts. I

    [Harry]The moment my gaze falls on the woman in the silver gown, standing right across the vast polished floor, I know I’m not in my right mind.Because how could that be?Elara Blackwood was dead.She died in a car accident almost a year and a half ago.This woman… this woman who looks so much li

    [Elara]“Come on, I’ll show you to your room,” says Nora, already dragging me away from the couch and heading for the grand staircase. “You too, Cora.” She picks her up on the way, squeezing her cheeks. “I have personally designed your room. It took a while, but I think it turned out great.”“Reall

    [Elara]The drive to the mansion isn’t a long one.Barely ten minutes have passed when the cars start circling the roundabout and pulling up in the grand driveway.“Mommy, this place is so huuuuuge,” Cora gasps, her hands pressed against the window, her face glued to the glass. Then, as if struck b
