Serena's POV

We finished the last of our meal, though I barely tasted a thing, and then Damien rose from his seat, offering me his hand.

I felt my heart strike a double time upon my acceptance of it. As we left the table, I tried to keep my face expressionless while walking past the crowded restaurant.

The staff led us up a private staircase, nearly invisible to the casual diner. Here, the air felt cool, with dimmer lights. We finally reached a door at the end of the stairs, kept by two men in dark suits.

"Names," one of them commanded in a low voice.

Damien handed over his card and let one of the men take it, while the same one kept his gaze fixed on me. "What about her?" he asked, unwinding my gut.

"She's with me. But if you insist on finding out, you might lose your job in the process," Damien said.

They were both huge with hoods over their faces so it was hard to tell the difference between them. But the one holding Damien's card tugged his partner, "Let them in," he said as he r

  • Chasing Back The Woman He Destroyed   Chapter 171

    Pristine's POVI stood there, seeing Alexander turn away, his shoulders stiff, but it didn't matter. He could play his cryptic, standoffish games all day long. Damien was mine.I turned back into the room, back to where Damien sat. He indicated the chair facing him."Sit down," he instructed me, his tone sharp and flat.I did, crossing my legs with care, making sure my posture remained intact. Damien's expression was unreadable."I'm your lawyer," he began, his body inclining forward slightly. "Don't try to lie to me. I need the truth. Did Alexander ever hurt you or not?"I was surprised by the question. For a moment, I blinked, my mouth opening but no sound coming out.I could see the blaze of fire in Damien's eyes, he wasn't talking as a friend, he was talking as someone who could stand up for me legally, or walk away if he felt like I was playing around.I breathed deeply, then shook my head. "No," I said finally, my voice softer than I intended it to be. "He didn't."Damien leaned

    Alexander’s POVI folded my arms, fixing my father with a steady glare. “Are you threatening me, dad? That if I don’t comply with your wishes, you’ll kill me? Has it really come to that?”The words hung heavy in the room.He didn't have a ready come-back. He sat still, almost in shock at his own revelation, his eyes screwed up as if he only now realized what he'd just uttered.His fingers tapped on the arm of the chair before he did lean forward, this time speaking in a softer voice."I didn't mean to say that," he snarled. "But you keep pushing me over the walls, Alexander. Do you think I enjoy this? Do you think I want to be in opposition to my own blood?"I laughed. "You've always enjoyed it. You've always had to be top dog. Don't try to deny it."He shook his head. "You don't understand. You can make it up to yourself. You can go back to the company, get your job, your reputation back. Marry Pristine right away. I will speak with her father. I will tell him that you were drunk tha

    Alexander's POV"I never touched Pristine," I claimed. "Not the way she'll try to make you think. I was the one who broke it off with her, before we could get any further. Just like I walked away from my father's company when I knew I couldn't keep living in his shadow."The room was quiet. For a second, Damien just looked at me, his eyes roving over mine as if he was weighing every word. Then finally, he exhaled."I believe you," he stated bluntly.Relief coursed through me, though I didn't let it register.Damien shifted forward, his voice softer but resolute. "You know, I believe that's wonderful. To walk away from someone as manipulative as Pristine takes a lot of strength. And to walk away from your father's company? That requires even more. Most men wouldn't have the heart to do what you've done."I swallowed hard, the words sticking more than I'd expected. "Thank you," I whispered.He smiled faintly, but it didn't reach. his eyes. "Don't worry. As much as I am her attorney, I w

    Alexander's POVBut when I turned toward the door, it wasn’t Serena who walked in. It was Pristine.I let out a sharp hiss, dragging my palm down my face in frustration. “You’ve got to be kidding me,” I muttered under my breath.Pristine strutted inside like she owned the place, her heels clicking against the polished floor. Her lips curled into a smile that was far too amused for my liking. “Well, well, Alexander. Imagine running into you here.”I leaned back in my chair, jaw tight. “Imagine that,” I said flatly, my voice laced with sarcasm.Damien glanced between us, clearly sensing the tension. “Just so you know, this isn't a relationship therapy session,” he said, raising an eyebrow.Pristine chuckled softly, brushing her hair back as though she wanted to make sure I noticed every strand. “I'm only here because you said I should, Damien. Alex's presence doesn't bother me.”I shot her a sharp look. “Bloody liar.”She ignored my irritation, her gaze playful but sharp. “I never lied

  • Chasing Back The Woman He Destroyed   Chapter 167

    Alexander's POVI leaned against the living room wall, observing Serena and Sophia fight their way through what was left of the crowd.Guests were beginning to leave, waiters were making rounds with collecting trays. But my eyes were still fixed on the two of them descending the stairs. I exhaled softly in relief. The evening had turned out better than I could have wished. Serena hadn't shut herself off completely, she had spoken to me, even looked in my direction. That in itself was an improvement.I hadn't visited here this evening hoping for miracles, but the fact that she hadn't turned me down in so many words provided me with some cause to hold on.I was merely trying to make up my mind what to say when I heard a woman's voice behind me. "Excuse me," she said.I turned and for an instant my mind fought to recognize the face. I didn't know her. She was young, pretty, with intense eyes."You look really handsome in person," she started off softly.I withheld for a moment, still no

    Serena's POV“You know why.”My heart pounded, and I swallowed hard, fighting to maintain control. “I don’t,” I whispered, though every fiber of me feared I already did.He leaned just enough that his words brushed against my ear. “It's your birthday Serena. I have to be here.”Sam coughed uncomfortably, clearly ill-at-ease with whatever tension he'd come in with."Right, well, I suppose I'd better go and check on Damien. Excuse me." He just walked away, not even bothering to find an excuse, and left us standing there alone in the corner of the room.I was annoyed at him for doing so.I laughed to conceal the seriousness between us. "You make an impressive entrance, Alexander. I've never seen you like that. People are already talking about you.""Let them," he said softly. "I didn't come here for them."I stood there frozen. My hands were shaking ever so slightly, so I clapped them together in front of me to steady myself. "Then why did you come?" I asked as if I did not already know.
