Chapter One Hundred and Seventy Two

(AT THE HOSPITAL)

Within minutes, everything turned chaotic.

They rushed him out, people moving quickly around him, voices overlapping, instructions flying from one direction to another.

A stretcher appeared, and Damien was lifted onto it, his body still reacting in ways no one could control.

Richard followed, barely keeping up, his eyes fixed on his son like if he looked away, something worse would happen.

“Stay with me, Damien… stay with me,” he kept sayin

    Chapter Two Hundred and Twenty NineHe had returned to Canada like nothing had changed.The schedule picked up immediately. Meetings, calls, decisions waiting for him the moment he stepped back into his role. The Greyson name didn’t slow down for anything, and Damien didn’t expect it to. He moved through it the same way he always had focused, composed, efficient.From the outside, there was nothing unusual about him.He sat through meetings with the same steady attention, listened more than he spoke, and when he did speak, his words were clear and direct. There was no distraction in the way he handled business, no sign that anything had shifted beneath the surface.If anything, he seemed more controlled.More precise.But quieter.Not in a way that drew immediate concern, but enough for someone who knew him well to notice.Victor did.It wasn’t something he pointed out directly. He simply observed it in the way Damien responded to things. The way he no longer lingered in conversations

    Chapter Two Hundred and Twenty EightThe morning didn’t rush her out of the house.After the conversation with her father, Aria stayed seated at the table a little longer than usual, her hands wrapped loosely around her cup as the last bit of warmth faded from the tea. The house was quiet again, settled into its usual rhythm, but something inside her had shifted in a way she couldn’t ignore.She wasn’t overwhelmed.She wasn’t emotional in a way that demanded action.But she wasn’t the same either.Her father’s words hadn’t pushed her into anything. They had simply stayed, steady and clear, leaving her with something she couldn’t avoid thinking about.By the time she stood up and got ready for work, her movements were calm, almost routine. She dressed simply, tied her hair back the way she always did, and stepped out without hesitation.From the outside, nothing looked different.But inside, her thoughts were no longer scattered.They were focused.The hospital greeted her the same way

    Chapter Two Hundred and Twenty SevenThe morning felt calm in a way Aria wasn’t used to anymore.Not because everything was perfect, but because nothing was rushing her. No urgent thoughts, no need to push anything aside just to get through the day. It was quiet, steady and almost gentle.She sat at the dining table across from her father, a plate of breakfast in front of her that she hadn’t touched much yet. The smell of tea filled the room, familiar and comforting, the kind of small detail that usually helped her settle into her day.But today, she wasn’t thinking about work.Her fingers rested loosely around the spoon in her hand, her gaze lowered slightly as if she was gathering her thoughts before speaking. She had been quiet since she came into the room, and her father had noticed. He always did.He didn’t interrupt her immediately. He simply watched her for a moment, his expression calm, patient, waiting for her to speak when she was ready.And she was.“Dad… there’s something

    Chapter Two Hundred and Twenty SixThe ride back home felt longer than usual.Aria sat by the window of the taxi, her gaze fixed on the passing streets, but she wasn’t really seeing them. The city moved like it always did—cars passing, people crossing, life continuing without pause—but none of it settled her the way it normally would.She wasn’t restless.She wasn’t overwhelmed.But her mind wasn’t quiet either.It moved slowly, carefully, like it was trying to understand something it had avoided for too long.By the time the taxi stopped in front of her building, she barely noticed how long the ride had taken. She paid the driver, stepped out, and walked inside without hesitation, her movements steady, her expression unchanged.Everything about her looked the same.But inside, something had already started shifting.Her apartment greeted her with the same calm it always did. Clean. Organized. Predictable. The kind of space she had built for herself after everything had fallen apart.

    Chapter Two Hundred and Twenty FiveThe plane had already taken off by the time Damien finally allowed himself to settle into the quiet.Not the kind that came from absence.The kind that came when there was nothing left to do.No decisions to make. No conversations waiting. No room to turn back.Just time.He sat by the window, his seat slightly reclined, one hand resting loosely against the armrest while the other stayed still on his lap. The low hum of the aircraft filled the space around him, steady and consistent, almost enough to drown out everything else.Almost.Outside, the sky stretched endlessly, clouds layered beneath them like something distant and untouched. He wasn’t really looking at anything in particular, but his gaze stayed there anyway.Still.Focused.Not because he was trying to escape his thoughts.But because he wasn’t avoiding them either.For the first time in a long while, he let everything come as it was.No resistance.No defense.Just honesty.Minnesota h

    Chapter Two Hundred and Twenty FourAria didn’t make the decision all at once.It didn’t come like urgency or panic or some sudden rush of emotion she couldn’t control. It came slowly, building through the quiet moments she couldn’t ignore anymore. The way her father’s words had stayed with her. The way the memory of that evening kept replaying—not what she said, but how quickly she had said it. How certain she had been, without giving him space to speak.She had gone to bed that night thinking it would pass.It didn’t.The next morning, she told herself to focus on work. Patients, reports, schedules—things that made sense, things she could control. And she did. She showed up the way she always did. Steady. Composed. Reliable.But somewhere in between conversations and consultations, her mind kept drifting back to him.Not the version she had known before.Not the man who had hurt her.The one she saw now.The one who didn’t argue.The one who didn’t push.The one who had simply… left

    Chapter Forty ThreeThe head guard’s voice echoed through the staff courtyard, sharp enough to make everyone stiffen where they stood.“Who amongst you snitched and told Clara Johnson the hospital Damien was kept?!”All the staff froze. No one moved. No one breathed. Their eyes shifted from one ano

    Chapter Forty FourAria had come back from the hospital earlier than expected. Damien was coming home today, and even though nothing special was supposed to happen, she took it upon herself to prepare something decent. Not because she felt anything deep, not because she cared in that way, but becau

    Chapter Forty TwoSuzan entered the estate quietly, checking behind her before shutting the door. She didn’t want anyone to see her. She walked straight to the staff quarters, opened her small locker, pushed aside her uniforms, and carefully hid the packages Clara gave her. She shut the locker qui

    Chapter Thirty TwoRichard stood by the glass window of the hospital’s private lounge, staring out at nothing in particular. His mind was scattered. He had barely slept since Damien’s accident, and the stress of everything happening at once was starting to show on his face.His phone rang again. It
