Serena's POV

I didn’t answer immediately. I pretended I hadn’t heard him, the question slicing too close to bone.

But Damien wasn’t the kind of man to let silence be the answer.

He leaned forward slightly, repeating in a calm, low voice, “You kissed me earlier today at the courthouse. I want to know why.”

I cleared my throat, willing the heat crawling up my neck to disappear. “It wasn’t a big deal,” I said, tossing my words out like they didn’t matter. “Why are you asking about that kiss like it was the first time we kissed?”

He paused, then gave a slow nod, placing his half-empty glass on the edge of the table beside him. His movements were unhurried, but something had shifted. He began walking toward me.

I straightened unconsciously, suddenly aware of how close we were and how alone this house felt with Sophia tucked away in one of the bedrooms. My body tensed.

“The difference,” Damien said quietly, “is that I kissed you first. Back in my office. But you initiated the second one pub

  • Chasing Back The Woman He Destroyed   Chapter 42

    Serena's POVMy eyes were wide with disbelief as Sophia moved towards Kyle."What the hell are you doing?" I whispered, perhaps to myself.And that's when she fell. Her knees buckled, and she hit with a nasty thud onto the hard floor."Oh my God!" I exclaimed half in horror, my hands flying to my mouth.I was going to run to her and help her up, but as I tried to move for her assistance, I felt it, my legs were shaky, almost as though they had their own mind.My head was light. Dizzy.What was in that wine?One of the guards stepped forward, but Kyle beat him to it. He reached her first, helped her up, and gave her a smile like this was normal.Sophia didn’t say a word. She looked completely embarrassed, and honestly, I couldn’t blame her.“It’s fine,” the man told the guard. “I’ve got her.”I quickly pulled out my phone and texted Damien."Sophia is drunk. I think I am too. Can’t help her."Something’s wrong with the wine Felix ordered, it was powerful.Kyle walked Sophia back to our

  • Chasing Back The Woman He Destroyed   Chapter 41

    Serena's POVI set my glass down and looked at him squarely.“Felix,” I began gently, “I know things didn’t end the way you wanted. But I never cheated on you. I never disrespected you. I just told you I couldn’t continue because… I was into someone else. I was honest with you.”He exhaled, smiling without humor. “And that’s exactly what made it worse.”I blinked. “Worse?”He leaned forward, elbows on the table, swirling his wine slowly. “If you’d cheated on me, at least I’d have had something to hate you for. I could’ve written you off as cruel or disloyal. But you didn’t give me that. You just… left. Clean, quiet. No screaming. No closure.”I didn’t know what to say to that.“All I was left with,” he continued, eyes locked on mine, “were the memories. All the good ones. Playing in the rain that time in first year, our inside jokes, that tiny apartment in Brooklyn we stayed in for a weekend, those moments played in my head. You didn’t break my heart violently, Serena. You let it blee

  • Chasing Back The Woman He Destroyed   Chapter 40

    Serena's POVI turned fully, heart clenching, and there he was, Felix, my first love.Everything around me faded for a second. The music. The lights. Even Sophia’s presence beside me blurred.It had been years, but I’d know him anywhere. That confident walk, the slight tilt of his head when he smiled. And that look in his eyes, like he could still read me, even after all this time.Sophia gasped softly. “Oh wow. Felix?”He grinned. “Sophia. You look stunning. It’s been ages.”“Right? You too!” she replied, and they hugged quickly.His eyes came back to me, warm, nostalgic. “And you... Serena.”Then he chuckled. “What are you doing here?”I tried to keep my tone casual. “Just hanging out. Having fun with my friend.”He didn't miss a beat. “Mind if I tag along? I mean, we’ve got years to catch up on.”I hesitated.Sophia didn’t.“Sure,” she said, smiling way too wide. “Let’s go to the VIP section.”I shot her a look, but she just winked.Felix followed us as we turned toward the velvet

  • Chasing Back The Woman He Destroyed   Chapter 39

    Serena's POVWe left the living room and headed straight to the room, walking side by side by side.“I can’t believe we packed the same gown color,” Sophia said with a smirk as we stepped inside. She was already digging through her bag. “Green twins. Was this planned?”I chuckled, slipping out of my robe. “Great minds think alike.”She held her dress up to her body in front of the mirror. “Should we tell Damien we’re heading out?”I paused, holding my dress in one hand. “You tell him.”Sophia turned around with wide eyes. “Excuse me? No. That’s your job.”I raised a brow. “Why is it automatically my job?”“Because he’s your lawyer. And also, he’s your problem tonight,” she said, sticking out her tongue playfully.I shook my head with a sigh, but I couldn’t argue. It was my job.Once I was done dressing, I stepped into my shoes and grabbed my purse.There was something almost theatrical about strolling into the study. I pushed the door open with intention. Damien did not look up; the s

  • Chasing Back The Woman He Destroyed   Chapter 38

    Serena's POV“I hope you’re both hungry,” Damien said, pushing a plate toward us.“I thought lawyers only knew how to argue,” I teased, eyeing the surprisingly delicious-looking pasta.He smirked. “I argue in court. I impress in the kitchen.”Sophia gave me a sly glance but stayed silent—for now.We sat around the island and began to eat. The pasta was creamy, warm, and perfect. The silence wasn’t awkward, just... thick. With awareness.“So,” Sophia said, finishing her wine, “this might be my cue to let you two enjoy the rest of the night without me hovering. I’ll go check my phone.”She winked at me as she slid off the stool.When I looked back at Damien, he was watching me.My fork hovered mid-air. “What?”He shook his head, smiling. “You just look more like yourself tonight.”I paused. “What does that mean?”He leaned in just slightly, voice low. “You’re laughing. You’re not holding your breath.”I let out a slow sigh and turned to face him. “We need to talk,” I said, my voice low

  • Chasing Back The Woman He Destroyed   Chapter 38

    Serena's POV“I, uh…” I swallowed hard, feeling cornered. “It wasn’t that big of a deal.”Sophia gave me a look. “Serena.”I hated lying to her. But the weight of the truth felt too heavy. Telling her everything, about the inheritance, about my new status, about the sudden power I never asked for, felt too big, too soon.But keeping it from her, that didn’t sit well either.“I managed,” I said carefully. “The lawyer helped, and Damien didn’t exactly charge the full rate.”It was half-true. But not enough.Sophia tilted her head, watching me closely. “You’re hiding something.”I sighed, heart thudding against my ribs. “I just, I’ll tell you everything. Just not tonight. Not yet.”Her eyes narrowed slightly, but then she smiled. “Is there any reason why you don't want to tell me? I'm your friend, Serena, your best friend, or perhaps you no longer trust me?"I laughed weakly, "That's not true honestly, you know I do trust you, but a lot has been happening lately, and I feel like the less
