Damon’s POV

My vision was cloudy as I regained consciousness. The process itself felt like clouds finally making way for the sun after a heavy rain.

From the background, the bar’s music still lingered in my ears, subtle but refusing to fade.

When I tried sitting up, a sharp pain throbbed through my jaw.

I winced at the pain, but my cry was interrupted by a voice.

A masculine deep voice.

“Easy there,” he cautioned, stepping forward from the darkness to help me sit up.

The dim light wasn’t

    Leonard's POV Rage burned in my heart as I slammed the door. My heart raced as I gasped hard, staring at my steering. She stood by his side, and looking at her only enraged me.I rolled my eyes and planted my leg on the accelerator pedal and the engine roared like thunder, dust raised all over the place and I dashed out of her sight.After all I had done, everything I had done for her, this is how she repaid me back. My mind endlessly replayed the image of Clara and Damon embracing and I bit my lips hard, my grip tightening on the wheels.My heart raced as I accelerated further, I didn't take my leg off that pedal. Why did she embrace him? I kept asking myself. She promised we'd be married, but that's what I got.As I stormed into the road, I kept asking myself. That one question I couldn't answer, the one that just didn't make any sense. How could she have forgiven Damon after everything he'd done to her? Just how. I kept wondering, my mind darting back and forth and still, I coul

    Damon's POV The air between us all was heavy and painful and Maurice just stared at her, waiting for his answer.After a long silence, she finally looked at me once again and back at him, her voice changed from rage to a sweet but reluctant one.“Yes… he is your father,” she finally said with a deep sigh.He looked at her, his voice small but firm. I stared at his beautiful face, a child so pure and calm, a child that had to go through all of these just because of my stupidity.“Mommy, I love him and I want my papa,” he stretched his hand forward to me, but I couldn't go. Clara would rather die than see me any closer to her son. She leaned in immediately, looking into his eyes and cried deeply.“Don't forget the truth, Maurice. He's a monster, he left us to die and he's only here because she left him, I know that. We can't trust him, he'll do it again, you know that, right?” Her red eyes stared into his, but his heart was pure and free of hate. He simply replied with a softer respons

    Damon's POV The air was heavy with the scent of medicine and the sounds of footsteps thudding against the ground. The constant beeping of machines was all around the place and my heart pounded as I rushed in.I didn’t even lock my car. Sweat rolled down my face as I dashed into the hallway. My eyes scanned every door, searching for Ward 127—the exact room the nurse had told me I would find Maurice in, since his previous room had been taken by another patient.My soul was troubled from everything. My head banged with a splitting headache and I dashed in, clearly shaken after receiving a shocking revelation.I turned around and I couldn't find ward 127.My breath was heavy as I turned back and headed out in pain and defeat, but just outside the pediatric ward, I saw him. There was no mistaking that. Ethan, standing there, perhaps looking for me.I dived right at him, grabbing his shirt, my eyes bulging out and pain surging through my veins.“Where is he?!” My eyes burned with terror. “

    Damon's POV My heart tightened as I stared at her, guilt swelling in my chest. I couldn't believe it. Yes, I had suspected it, but realizing the truth felt different, painful, made me look like a fool. I was a coward for leaving Clara and I fell right into karma's trap. She wasn't remorseful, not a single bit. She wasn't the fragile wife with amnesia anymore, she no longer was the woman who if I pushed too much could die. Come to think of it, I have been a fool all along. How on earth can amnesia cause death, it all made sense now.She had the doctor paid,but all for what, to get back at me, after wasting my life.My arms were tucked into my side as I just stared at her in shock as she ranted all around the place, screaming and I couldn't help but nod. She was a good actor, an impressive one. Because what I saw her display was a stark contrast to the woman she was yesterday. I descended from the small step from the door and came over to her, my eyes heavy with pain and my voice fu

    Damon’s pov My phone rang as I stood by the door with Camila. She was still clad in her beautiful white dress and wearing amazing smiles by the corner. I paused for a while, she held on to me, but I assured I'll be back as the caller just didn't want to stop calling.“I'll be back, soon, I promise,” and kissed her hand gently and headed to a corner. It was Ethan. My heart raced hard, as my thumb struggled to tap my screen. I didn't want to answer the call, I didn't want to hear his voice, I didn't want anything from him, not after what he had done. But something struck me, something I couldn't understand and I knew avoiding him wouldn't solve anything, and despite our strained relationship, he may have something important to tell me.With a deep sigh, my thumb tapped the screen and he began rambling on and on about why I didn't pick up the call and said a lot, none of which I believed.After I had heard enough, I just scoffed.“Are you done?” I raised an eyebrow. “I have a home to

    Clara’s POVI let out a humorless laugh.That was definitely what people do when they hear a joke. It had to be one too.The doctor’s brows pulled together, confusion flickered on his face.His voice was calm, his concern palpable as he spoke. “Are you alright?” I nodded once, waiting for him to finally reveal that this was all some sort of cruel prank. That Maurice was going to go through with his surgery.But it never happened.The truth settled in slowly—cruelly—like something heavy sinking into water, dragging everything down with it.My world tilted in place, right in front of me, as though reality had lost its balance. His words kept echoing in my ears, looping over and over again, refusing to settle where they belonged. Refusing to make sense.I couldn’t breathe.The room felt empty in the worst possible way—like all the air had been stolen at once, leaving behind nothing but a hollow, suffocating silence.“Are you for real, Doctor Sidney?” I managed to ask, like I was ready

    Damon’s POV My words hung in the air, but for some reason Camilla didn’t look surprised— at least not the way I had expected.She let out a soft breath, the wooden spoon in her hand paused mid-air. Her gaze locked with mine, her expression guarded and unreadable like there was something waiting t

    Damon’s POV “What the hell are you trying to prove?” I pushed my chair backward, the loud scraping sound tore through the almost quiet room. My heart thumped loudly with each heavy breath I took. She turned slightly, just enough for me to catch the side of her face. “What am I trying to prove, you

    Damon’s POVI took another careful glance at the mirror, barely recognizing the man that stared back at me.The suit was expensive and tailored to perfection, yet it did nothing to ease the tightness in my chest. I adjusted my tie slowly, watching my fingers move down my chest. Confident and calm.

    Clara’s POV Mr Salvador turned to face me fully. “Mr Damon stepped out to—” He paused as Maurice mistakenly dropped his spoon to the floor, which produced a clattering sound. Salvador and I turned to him as he clutched onto his food flask. “Sorry,” he whispered softly and lowered his face to the
