Pristine's POV

I shook my head, first hesitantly and then with more certainty. "Too late to catch her train now, Dad," I said with a scornful wave of my hand. "She's gone. And trying to bribe Serena?" I laughed. "Impossible. She can't be paid in cash, not when she has men like Kyle surrounding her who would sell their souls just to curry favor with her."

He narrowed his eyes. "Then who do you suggest we go after?"

His voice was biting, impatient, but I ignored it.

This was always how he operated, questioning before you even get halfway through your statements. But I was used to it.

I crossed my legs and tilted my head to the side. "Her angel in shining armor."

He scowled. "What the hell are you talking about?"

I smiled. "Damien."

There was a pause before he reclined and let loose with a low, cold laugh. "You're kidding."

I didn't blink. "No, I'm not."

His laughter stopped short. "The goal was to ruin Damien's career, not work with him. Or have you forgetting how he embarrassed Vincent

  • Chasing Back The Woman He Destroyed   Chapter 173

    Pristine's POV"You're quiet as usual," I taunted softly. "Do you ever let yourself relax?"He cleared his throat, leaning back a little, eyes obstinately fixed on mine. "I'm okay the way I am.""That's no answer." I inclined my head, studying him. "By the way, I'm wondering why you don't have any ring on. You haven't spoken about anyone in your life. Tell me, Damien, why are you single?"The directness of the inquiry seemed to catch him off guard. His eyebrows tightened somewhat, and he didn't respond immediately."Pristine, you know that's not the kind of conversation we should be having. You asked a favor, I did it. That's where this ends."I laughed lowly, my head tilting. "Don't be so cold. I asked a simple question. You're not married. You didn't say girlfriend. Unless…" I quirked an eyebrow, taunting him, "you have someone you're hiding from the world? A secret lover?"Then, in his usual low, even tone, he answered, "I'm single because I like to be single. My work does not lea

    Pristine's POVWalking with Damien, I couldn't help but feel the way his presence took up space.He wasn't like Alexander, Alexander always seemed to command the air itself, choking with his taciturn intensity.Damien wasn't like that. He was reliable, easy, a man who was masters of the world they lived in and themselves. The sort of man I should be with.We'd reached the front door, and he opened it to let me out in front of him.Damien's car was parked next to the front door. He opened it, and I slid into the passenger side as he went around to the driver's side.He turned over the engine, the soft hum between us. "Which hotel are you going to be staying at?" he asked, his tone factual.I leaned my head to one side, taking on an air of thoughtful consideration. "Honestly, anywhere safe and clean. I wouldn't want to be any trouble.""You're not any trouble," he said, catching the gear into drive. The car accelerated smoothly.I smiled weakly, gazing out of the window, though already

    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

  • Chasing Back The Woman He Destroyed   Chapter 169

    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

  • Chasing Back The Woman He Destroyed   Chapter 168

    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
