Serena's POV

We 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 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

  • Chasing Back The Woman He Destroyed   Chapter 128

    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

  • Chasing Back The Woman He Destroyed   Chapter 127

    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

  • Chasing Back The Woman He Destroyed   Chapter 126

    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

  • Chasing Back The Woman He Destroyed   Chapter 125

    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."

  • Chasing Back The Woman He Destroyed   Chapter 124

    Pristine's POVThere was a beat of hesitation on his end, but then he sighed and said, “He came to visit Serena at her hotel. I saw him and called him afterward. Said some things I shouldn’t have.”My lips curled into a slow smile. “And?”“He recorded it,” Kyle muttered. “Sent it to her. She played it back to me today.”“Wow,” I said, eyes twinkling as I looked at Nadia. “So you had her, and you let Alexander slip in between?”“I was a fool,” he said bitterly. “I got jealous. Lost control. And now she doesn’t trust me.”I leaned back into my chair, savoring the crack in his armor. “Jealousy’s a dangerous game, Kyle. Especially when you’re trying to win someone like Serena. She doesn’t take kindly to possession.”“I know that now,” he murmured.I let the silence settle, then asked, “So, the investors’ meeting, will it still hold tomorrow?”“No,” he said immediately. “I’ve shifted it.”My brows lifted. “Really? Why?”“Tomorrow’s Serena’s birthday,” he said. “And I want to focus complete
