Serena's POV

I wasn't conscious when I whispered the name 'Sam'.

I didn't mean to say it out loud, but Damien heard me. He shot me a look. A warning.

I glanced down, pretending to tug at the sleeve of my shirt.

The silence persisted, heavy and cold, until Carlos leaned forward again. "So tell me, Damien. Do you have a twin that I'm not aware of?"

Damien was prone to sneer, but his jaw was clenched. "It is hard to say, maybe I have a twin that I don't know."

"Good. Because if I discover that you killed my man, nothing on this earth will be able to save you."

I swallowed a second time, my palms damp on my thighs.

Damien turned over onto his back, his face calm but his eyes blazing. "Well, then you'd better get your discovery in a hurry. Because I don't have tattoos and I'm not a Gangstar."

Carlos laughed again, this one low. "I like you. You've got balls."

I shifted uncomfortably in my seat, the whole of me rebelling at the need to get out of there. But I kept up appearances. I couldn't

    Alexander's POVCollins blinked, his smug expression faltering. “Is that—”“Yes,” Darla said sharply, cutting him off. “Allow me to formally reintroduce the rightful owner of this company — Alexander.”Every face turned pale.I took my place beside her, my hand resting lightly on the back of her chair. “It’s been a while,” I said evenly. “I see the company’s changed since I last stepped foot here.”Collins stammered. “You—You were supposed to be out of the picture. We were told—”“I’m sure you were told a lot of things,” I interrupted, my voice cold and steady. “But lies have a way of collapsing under the weight of truth.”Darla slid a folder onto the table. “These,” she said crisply, “are the legal transfer papers, signed and verified by the corporate board and court. Alexander is reinstated as CEO, effective immediately.”Gasps and protests rippled through the room.One of the older members, Mr. Haines, leaned forward. “This is irregular! We weren’t informed!”“Because you weren’t s

    Alexander's POVThe scent of freshly brewed coffee lingered in the air as I stepped out of the shower, steam still curling behind me. My reflection in the mirror looked sharper than I remembered, eyes dark with focus, hair damp and swept back. I hadn’t felt this grounded in a long time. Darla was sitting by the window, typing something on her tablet, her posture as composed as ever. She looked up when I emerged, offering that small, knowing smile of hers.“Feeling better?” she asked.“Much,” I said, toweling my hair. “I needed that.”“You looked like you did,” she replied, sliding the tablet into her bag. “You’ve barely rested in days.”I glanced at the suit she had neatly placed on the couch—a navy-blue one, crisp and perfect for the kind of impression I was about to make. “You brought this?”“Of course. You’re not walking into that boardroom in a T-shirt and jeans,” she said, standing to adjust my tie when I finished dressing. Her fingers moved with care, but her tone carried the

    Serena's POV“Right,” Sophia said, crossing her legs. “A friend you invited to Sunderland after one phone call.”I sighed, unable to hide my small smile. “It’s not what you think. I just… need to see him. There’s unfinished business between us.”Damien’s eyes softened slightly. “Just be careful,” he said. “This isn’t the right place for old emotions to start clouding judgment.”I nodded. “I know. I’ll be careful.”The room fell into a quiet rhythm after that. Sophia started scrolling through her phone, Damien stood to pour himself a drink, and I leaned back on the couch, letting the silence settle around us.For the first time that day, I felt the weight of everything pressing down on me — the company, Vincent’s shadow looming over every decision, and now, the unexpected reappearance of Kyle.Tomorrow was going to be complicated.Sophia broke the silence first. “So,” she said, turning to me. “What’s your plan for tomorrow? You’ve got Morris, Kyle’s arrival, and Diamond City to worry a

    Serena's POV“I’ll let the board meet with Vincent first,” I said. “Let them think he has leverage. Then I’ll step in. Quietly, but firmly.”Sophia grinned. “That’s my girl.”Damien nodded approvingly. “Smart. The element of surprise works best when your opponent doesn’t see you coming.”The mood lightened after that. Sophia began talking about the restaurant downstairs, insisting we should order something sweet before bed. Ella teased Damien about looking too serious all the time, and he playfully rolled his eyes.For a moment, I just sat there watching them. These were the people I trusted the most—the small circle that had been with me through the worst. And though tomorrow loomed uncertain, I felt stronger knowing they were by my side.After a while, Ella yawned and stretched. “I’m heading to bed before my brain starts plotting crimes,” she said.Sophia laughed. “Goodnight, troublemaker.”Ella waved and disappeared into her room.I turned to Damien. “You should rest too.

    Serena’s POV“I’m grateful you chose to tell me " I said, coaxing a smile. "You’ve already gone beyond what was needed. Let me tend to the rest.”Alexa's head snapped up in a nod. "Of course. Goodnight Miss Serena.”When she vanished from sight Damien and I pressed forward toward the elevator the thudding of my pulse echoing against my ribs. The placid self‑assurance I'd carried all day was waning, supplanted by a keen serrated anxiety.“Don’t let it get to you " Damien whispered as we stepped into the elevator, his voice low. "You’re not the woman Vincent used to know. You’re stronger now.”A faint smile curled my lips. I kept my thoughts to myself. He was right—still the fact that I could be strong didn’t mean the fear inside was gone.The elevator doors slid open spilling us onto the night air. I lifted my eyes to the soaring Diamond City tower, its lights blazing against the midnight sky like a crown of fire. In the glass my faint reflection stared back, an outline that still rad

    Serena's POVHe slipped back into his seat, eyes narrowing as if trying to decode a hidden message in my words. "You really think that’s what’s best for me?" he asked quietly.I caught his gaze. "You’ve wasted many years waiting for someone who could never love you the way you deserve. Maybe it’s finally time to let someone else try.”Damien’s lips flickered, caught on the line, between a smile and a sigh. "You sound as if you’re dispensing relationship advice " he teased gently.I shrugged. "Maybe I am.. Perhaps I’ve simply grown disinclined to see you alone longer.”His eyes went soft, a warmth spreading through them. "You care a lot about Serena.”“Maybe " I muttered, eyes wandering. ". I’d stop being me if I didn’t.”For a moment the atmosphere between us seemed to thicken, not uneasy just saturated with everything left unsaid. He watched me, a hushed stillness, in his stare, his eyes drifting over my features like he was trying to imprint them in his memory.“You know " he final
