Billionaire's Prisoner 62
That night, Cynthia waited for Damien.She had spent most of the evening thinking about what she was going to say when he came to her. She had gone over the conversation in her head so many times that she was tired of hearing her own thoughts.She still did not know what answer to give him.Part of her wanted to say yes. Another part kept reminding her of everything that had happened. The contract. Her father. Damien's sudden distance. The way he had changed after their first night together. The fear that there was something between them that she did not understand.She loved him, or at least she knew she was falling deeply for him. But love did not automatically make everything simple.The door finally opened.Damien stepped inside.He looked at her almost immediately, as if he had been waiting for this moment since the last time they spoke. There was something hesitant in his expression. He closed the door quietly behind him and stood there for a few seconds.He had expected her to
Billionaire's Prisoner 61
Cynthia couldn't stop thinking about her father.The more she thought about everything that had happened between her and Damien, the more she felt there was something she didn't know.Thomas Hart had done something.She was certain of it now.There was a connection between him and Damien, and somehow, that connection was the reason she had ended up in Damien's life.Maybe it was the reason Damien had chosen her in the first place.Maybe it was also the reason he was struggling with his feelings now.But what had her father actually done?Cynthia sat on the edge of her bed, staring at the floor.She had heard enough over the years to know that Thomas had left behind a mess.Her aunt had always spoken about him with bitterness. She had never wanted Cynthia to waste time looking for him. Whenever his name came up, her aunt made it clear that she believed he had abandoned his family and deserved nothing from them.If Cynthia went to her now and asked questions, she already knew what the a

Two days passed.The estate had never felt so quiet.Cynthia and Damien barely spoke during those two days. They lived under the same roof, walked through the same rooms, and sometimes passed each other in the hallway, but it felt as though an invisible wall had risen between them.Damien no longer slept beside her.The first night, Cynthia had waited for him.She had stayed awake longer than usual, listening for his footsteps, expecting the door to open.It never did.The second night, she didn't wait.She simply turned off the light and went to sleep.She didn't ask him why.Breakfast had changed too.They used to sit together, sometimes talking about nothing important, sometimes teasing each other. Damien would watch her eat and make some comment about how much food she could finish.Now he ate alone.Or sometimes he didn't eat at all.Damien had buried himself in work.He spent most of his time inside his office, surrounded by files, phone calls, meetings, and endless screens. He

Cynthia started avoiding Damien.At first, she didn't do it intentionally.She simply didn't know how to behave around him anymore.Every time she saw him, a hundred questions came into her mind. She wanted to ask him what had changed, why he had suddenly become distant, and whether the feelings he had confessed to her were still there.But she was afraid of the answers.So she chose silence.If Damien entered the dining room, Cynthia would suddenly become interested in her food. If he walked into the living room, she would find a reason to leave. If they crossed paths in the hallway, she would give him a small smile and look away before their eyes could meet.Damien noticed every bit of it.At first, he thought she was angry with him.Perhaps she was getting back at him for leaving her alone.But after a while, he realized it wasn't anger.She was hurt.And somehow, that was worse.He missed the way she used to look at him.He missed her questions, her laughter, and the way she would

By afternoon, Cynthia was feeling a little better.The fever had gone down, although her body still felt weak and heavy. The maid had brought her a bowl of hot soup along with some medicine, insisting that she eat before taking it.Cynthia had thanked her and slowly finished the soup.After taking the medicine, she returned to her bed with the book she had been reading and tried to lose herself in the pages.For a while, it worked.Then she heard footsteps approaching her room.She looked up.The footsteps stopped outside her door.A second later, the door swung open.Damien stood there.His expression changed the moment he saw her.He smiled.It was the same warm smile she had become so used to seeing from him.But Cynthia couldn't return it.She simply stared at him.Damien noticed immediately.He walked into the room and closed the door behind him.His eyes fell on the medicine and the glass of water sitting on the table."Are you sick?"Cynthia nodded."I had a little fever."His
Billionaire's Prisoner 57
Damien sat alone in his office, staring at the city through the enormous glass windows.He had come to work early, but he had barely done anything since arriving.There were files on his desk.Emails waiting for his approval.Calls he was supposed to return.People waiting for decisions.None of it mattered to him.He hadn't slept the entire night.Every time he closed his eyes, Cynthia came into his mind.Her face.Her smile.The way she had looked at him.And then the question he had been trying to avoid.Was what he was doing wrong?Damien leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes.For a while, love had made him forget everything.When he was with Cynthia, he didn't think about Thomas Hart.He didn't think about his father's death.He didn't think about revenge.He didn't think about the past.He simply thought about her.And perhaps that was exactly what frightened him.He had allowed himself to become happy.But happiness now felt like something he wasn't supposed to have.He
