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 130

    Serena's POVPristine’s voice was calm, like the word bitch didn't get to her. “Who exactly are you calling a bitch?”Ella’s lips curved in a slow, mocking smile. “You, obviously. Who else here fits the title so perfectly?”I could practically feel the air snap between them. My instincts told me exactly what was about to happen, and it wasn’t going to be pretty. I took two careful steps back, my eyes darting toward the door in case I needed a quick exit.But I also wanted to see the fight play out between the both of them. I would love nothing more than to see Ella beat the hell out of Pristine, that's if Sam doesn't interfere.“Ladies,” Sam stepped in, lifting his hands like a referee before a boxing match. “I believe this is a misunderstanding. Let’s just-He really didn't get to finish his statement.Without me even blinking, Pristine lifted her glass just like someone would do when raising a toast and emptied the whole content onto Ella's face!The red wine splashed in an arc ont

  • Chasing Back The Woman He Destroyed   Chapter 129

    Serena's POVThe blonde didn’t wait for Damien to invite her in. She stepped past him like she owned the place.Damien didn’t move to stop her, but I caught the faint flicker of irritation in his eyes. His shoulders stiffened, and the vein in his temple twitched."Where do I sit?" she asked Sam, not even glancing at Damien's direction.Sam pointed to the other side of the living room, grinning as if this was some inside joke that only he knew about.I stayed rooted to the spot, my gaze shifting back and forth between Damien and the woman.It wasn't just that she was pretty, It was the air of confidence she radiated, as though she once was the center of his universe and might be again if she wanted.The thought made my stomach twist in ways I didn't care to recognize.Sophia drew closer, her breath interrupting my line of thought. "Who is she?"I swallowed hard. "His ex-girlfriend, I think."Pristine's eyebrows shot up, and she glanced at the blonde lady. There was electricity in the a

    Serena's POVI thought Damien was going to kiss me.His face was close, his breath warm on my cheek, and for a second my heart skipped.But instead, he reached past me and unlocked the door.I blinked, confused, but I didn't say anything.He stepped back, his eyes calm. "You give too much power to Pristine, Serena. You let her presence control your emotions."I scowled. "Excuse me?""Yes. I said that." His voice was firm, not cruel, but it hurt anyway.My arms crossed before I could stop them. "Have you ever had your heart broken, Damien?"He didn't blink. "Yes.""I thought so," I snapped, my voice more pointed than I meant it to be. "So, would you mind if I began playing with the man your ex ran off with?"His brow rose a little, but he didn't blink. "It would annoy me," he replied slowly, "but only if you were actually dating me. If there was no romance going on between us, then I wouldn't mind."I looked at him in shock. I understood exactly what he was saying. He was saying it in

    Serena's POVThe knock came again, it was louder this time. Sophia set her mug down while I walked toward the door, but one of the maids beat me to it and opened the door, and Damien stepped in.I smiled at first, until I noticed the woman standing right beside him and my smile faded instantly as if I had just seen the devil incarnated in the body of a woman.It was Pristine.I glanced at her a minute before turning to Damien. "Please tell me she isn't the person you went to fetch from the airport."I couldn't hide my despair.Just as Damien was about to speak, Pristine stepped forward with her honeyed voice. "Well, well, Serena. Never thought I would catch you here at Damien's. He didn't say you were around."I ignored her completely and looked back at Damien. “What is she doing here?”He lifted his hands slightly. “I have nothing to do with it.”“What do you mean you have nothing to do with it?” My voice was sharper now. “Why did you invite her here?”“I didn’t invite her,” Damien s

    Serena's POVSophia and I drove back to Damien’s apartment. The city lights blurred past the window, and my thoughts were still a mess from earlier.“So,” Sophia said, glancing at me from the driver’s seat, “did you finally confront Kyle?”I sighed. “Yeah, I did. At first I tried ignoring it, but eventually, I spilled it.”Sophia raised a brow. “And?”“And nothing. He listened. Said his piece. I guess I said mine.”She hummed. “You should at least give him a chance to prove himself again.”I turned to her, narrowing my eyes. “Wow. He buys you a mansion and now you’ve become his advocate?”Sophia laughed. “Please. I’m just saying-"“No, no, I see it now,” I cut in, shaking my head. “You’re defending him because of the house.”She grinned. “Alright, fine. But admit it, you went there to play politics.”I laughed, but then stopped suddenly.Sophia noticed. "What is it?" she asked as she drove."I don't know, I have been thinking about Kyle and Alexander lately. You know there’s a strikin

    Pristine's POVI leaned my head toward him. "So, who are you picking up from the airport?" His gaze remained forward. "No one important."I raised an eyebrow. "If it's not important, then why the confidentiality?""It's private."“I don't like private," I said, drawing out my tone. "Come on, Damien. Come on. You can't say you're going to the airport and not get questioned."He took a deep breath. "I'm picking up my brother."I raised my brows. "Your brother? When do you have a brother? I've never heard you say anything about him.""That's because I don't talk about family.""Why not? Bad blood?" I said, leaning slightly closer."No," he replied firmly. "We're fine. I just don't want to share personal information like that."I leaned back. "Hmm. Okay. But now I'm interested in him.""You'll see," Damien replied with a small smile twitching on his lips.I decided to play a little game with him, to discover where this will lead me.I stroked my chin. "So, I have a question to ask you."
