Serena's POV

I sat quietly in Damien’s vehicle as he drove, my fingers twisting in my lap.

He was on the phone, speaking in that calm, focused tone of his. I couldn’t stop watching him, my heart pounding in my chest as he asked for favors and updates about Sophia.

When he finally ended the call, he turned his gaze to me.

“Sophia was with Maxwell. They were double-crossed on the road, ambushed and kidnapped. His securities were killed, but the driver made it out alive," he said, his gaze flickering between the road and me.

I swallowed hard, the words ringing in my head.

“Why would they kidnap them?” I asked, my voice shaking a little.

“It’s probably work-related,” he said, letting out a quiet breath. “Maxwell has a lot of enemies.”

I felt my heart sink even deeper. Finding Sophia was going to be a lot harder than I thought.

Then he said, “Fortunately, I can still find her.”

I looked at him, confused. “What do you mean?”

“I bugged her phone,” he said matter-of-factly. “After the first

  • Chasing Back The Woman He Destroyed   Chapter 74

    Serena's POVMy breath hitched. A burning wave of disbelief washed over me. "What?" I managed, my voice barely above a whisper. "I never said that.""You admitted to faking it," he replied, his voice cool, almost detached."I admitted to pretending not to be scared," I retorted, defensively. "That is not admitting that I still love Alexander."He had no ready reply. His eyes dropped to the floor as though pondering my statement. As if giving me a chance to correct myself. But I had nothing to correct.Finally, he lifted his gaze and said, "Then answer the damn question."My throat tightened again. There was a prolonged silence between us. I tore my gaze from his eyes, unable to hold his, but his voice did not waver."Why would you think I still loved Alexander?" I challenged, more defensively than I'd meant to. "Is that what this is? Is that why you brought him here? To see if I still had feelings for him?"He didn't answer. He just leaned back and sipped his wine again, as though he

  • Chasing Back The Woman He Destroyed   Chapter 73

    Serena's POVThe moment Damien stepped out to the balcony, I sat back on the couch, my wine untouched in my hand.The slam of the sliding door closing behind him echoed louder in my head than it had to. Sophia gazed at me, her lips pursed."Are we going to pretend like Damien just presented your ex-husband to your suite?" she asked.I sighed. "I'm still processing it."She set her wine glass down and leaned in toward me. "Do you think he's trying to get you two back together? Because if that's his play, I may actually kill him.""I don't know," I growled. "Perhaps it's just appreciation. Perhaps Damien felt that Alex needed a leg up after what happened in court."Sophia arched an eyebrow. "Since when does Damien do a favor?"I looked at the balcony door, thinking about what was being talked about outside. I hated being this curious. And how much I cared about what Damien thought and felt.I could still remember the way he'd looked at me when I'd rejected Alexander's twenty percent sta

  • Chasing Back The Woman He Destroyed   Chapter 72

    Damien's POVThe night air hits my face the moment I stepped out onto the balcony. It’s cooler out here, quieter too, away from all the unspoken tension hanging in the living room. I spotted Kyle almost immediately, leaning against the railing like he owns the stars themselves.He glanced back when he heard the door, then turned away again, sipping his wine.“You’re not bad at slipping out,” he said without looking at me. “I was wondering how long it’d take before you followed.”I stayed silent for a beat, just observing him. His shoulders were relaxed, but there’s something in his stance, tight, calculated.“I needed air,” I said finally, stepping beside him. “Too many dynamics in one room.”“Mm,” he hummed. “Interesting dynamics. For instance... is this your new thing? Reuniting divorcees hours after sealing their divorce papers?”I let out a short breath. “Alexander needed a lift. And after what he did in court, I figured it was the least I could do.”He turned to face me now, bro

  • Chasing Back The Woman He Destroyed   Chapter 71

    Damien's POVThe door closed behind Alexander with a soft thud, but the echo he left behind filled the room like a heavy fog. He looked tense throughout the short meeting with Serena.But more surprisingly, was the way Serena handled the situation. I had expected her to be dramatic, refuse to see him or play the usual, ‘I don't have time for this’ stunts she plays on me whenever I bring up the subject of love with her.Instead she acted calm, almost as though she had forgiven him, or gradually forgiving him. Makes me question if she has moved on from him. Maybe she's still in love with him.I stood there for a second, hand still on the doorknob, unsure why I felt so tense. Maybe it was the look Serena gave me when she realized I'd brought him. Or maybe it was the part of me that hated how much that man still got to stand in front of her, even if only for a minute.I turned to face the room. Serena was sitting on the edge of the sofa, eyes trained on the floor like her thoughts were s

  • Chasing Back The Woman He Destroyed   Chapter 70

    Serena's POVHe looked sheepish, hands stuffed into his pockets, avoiding my gaze like a schoolboy caught skipping class.“Hey,” he said softly.Damien stood calmly beside him, unreadable as always, but I noticed the way his eyes flicked from me to Kyle in the background.“Can we come in?” Damien asked.I stepped aside slowly, still stunned. “Sure…”They walked in, and I felt the entire energy in the room shift.Kyle stood up when he saw Alexander, eyes narrowing slightly.“Well, this is a surprise,” he said smoothly, walking over with the poise of a man who never got rattled. “Didn’t expect a Calloway tonight.”Alexander offered a polite nod. “I wasn’t planning to be here either. But I asked Damien for a favor.”Kyle’s gaze flicked to Damien. “You’re in a generous mood.”Damien didn’t answer. He turned to me instead. “He just wanted a few minutes. I thought it was worth letting you decide.”I looked at Alexander again. He looked different. Humbled. Less sharp around the edges.Sophia

  • Chasing Back The Woman He Destroyed   Chapter 69

    Serena's POVWe were just wiping the last crumbs of the twelve-thousand-dollar Louis XIII pizza off our lips when Kyle returned. This time, he had a wine bottle in his hand, sleek, dark, regal-looking, and a grin that spelled dangerously expensive indulgence.“Ladies,” he said, setting it down gently on the table like it was some ancient relic. “A toast to Serena, courtroom conqueror and mystery woman of the hour. And to Sophia, the best best-friend hype woman I’ve seen in a long time.”Sophia laughed as I raised an eyebrow.He popped the cork and poured the golden liquid into the long-stemmed glasses one of the staff had left behind. The aroma hit me first, soft, smooth, and somehow screaming money.I tilted my head and asked, “How much is this wine, exactly?”Kyle chuckled. “This is Henri IV Dudognon Heritage Cognac. Just a little over two million dollars a bottle.”Sophia choked on air. “Two what?”I blinked at him. “You’re kidding, right?”He lifted his glass. “I don’t kid when it
