ログインDavina gave him a moment to compose himself, then asked the question that haunted her.“Where is she?”Rob snorted, even in his broken state, smugness dripping from his voice.“Who?”His eyes flicked to his bandaged stumps where his fingers had been, his jaw clenched.“Your precious little daughter? Or Anna? I genuinely hope she dies.”Davina’s stomach twisted.Rob sneered.“Come on, Davi. This isn’t about you. It’s about him. He loves her, so I want her gone. You can have more kids. We don't need little demons walking on the surface of earth who carry his blood in them."Davina gulped at his words, but he spoke unbothered by how they affected her."Look what he did to me… to you. He destroyed both of us. I genuinely liked you. I only wanted to scare you off, make sure you stayed away from him. But…”Davina’s voice cracked, desperation spilling out.“Rob, please… my daughter’s just a baby. Spare her life. I’ll help you escape. I’ll give you money, a new life. Just tell me where she is
Davina stood at the threshold, her body trembling, her breath shallow. For a long moment she could not move, terrified that if she stepped inside, her knees would buckle and she would collapse. She forced herself to steady, whispering silently,I won’t tremble. I won’t faint. I can’t afford to.When she was sure her legs would carry her, she pushed the heavy iron door open.The dungeon stretched wide in both directions, a cavernous space that seemed endless. The air was damp, thick with the stench of smoke and chemicals. In the centre stood a punching bag, surrounded by training equipment, racks of guns, daggers, and devices she couldn’t even name. The sight made her stomach churn.She hesitated, unsure which way to go. The cell where she had once been kept felt like a ghost memory, impossible to place. She closed her eyes, followed her instincts, and turned left.After a few steps, faint screaming reached her ears. Her heart lurched. She quickened her pace, the sound growing louder u
Alex had barely finished when Ryan’s voice exploded, startling everyone. His fury was so intense it seemed to shake the walls.“Alex, just leave it, theres no point in explaining everything to her. She’s so selfish — all she can see is her own suffering, what she went through, how she was the only victim. She has no clue what happened after she faked her death. We thought we lost him completely! Shefali, do you even know what he became? The man who was once a fierce fighter threw himself into underground matches just to get beaten bloody. He found sick pleasure in pain, in reaching the brink of death. He became a drug addict, an alcoholic. We lost count of the overdoses, the crashes from drunken driving. He was banned from boxing — banned! — because of the toxins in his blood. In professional boxing, drug use is illegal, and the tests showed he was drowning himself in it. There isn’t a part of his body he didn’t injure. He thrived only by torturing himself, by hurting himself. And eve
Damon chuckled, making Davina’s glare sharpen.“Baby, you’re not the Grim Reaper… you don’t have a single bone in you to take someone’s life.”Davina snapped back, her voice cold and biting.“Try me, Damon. Maybe I’ll start with you… and then your beloved sweetheart.”Damon’s tone hardened, his words deliberate.“Taking a life isn’t as easy as you think. It takes a piece of you along with it. And I would never let that kind of darkness consume you or our kids. Now… are you going to stay here, or do you want to come to Knight Mansion? The boys are freaking out. Eva just texted me — Nic is already there trying to comfort them, but they need us. Especially you, Lii. Take the key and drive us to Knight Mansion.”Davina stood still for a moment, torn. She didn’t want to go to Knight Mansion, but she had no choice. Her boys needed her, and deep down she knew only Damon had the reach — both legal and illegal — to find her baby.The drive was silent. Damon’s hand rested on her thigh, his way
The air in the room tasted like dust and deferred misery.Once Damon was certain Davina had calmed enough to breathe without collapsing, he began making calls. His voice was clipped, commanding, every syllable carrying the weight of urgency. Alex quickly left the penthouse, Jacob trailing behind him as per Damon’s instructions.Davina sat frozen, her body trembling, her eyes wide and unblinking. Though shattered, she was hyper‑aware, watching every movement in the room, every gesture, every breath. Trust — that fragile thread between two souls — had long been severed for her.She couldn’t trust anyone.Not Damon.Not Mike.Not Jacob.Not after everything she had endured.Her paranoia clawed at her chest.What if it was Damon? What if it was Mike? Maybe even Jacob?The thought consumed her, and she pulled at her hair, her fear spiraling into madness.Damon noticed her gaze, sharp and accusing. He stepped closer, his voice low but firm.“Baby, stop looking at me like that. It’s not me
“We’ll see about it, Lii…” Damon’s voice was low, deliberate, almost taunting. His every word — a silent challenge.“But as you wanted, I’ll come clean. Before that, calm down. Have a seat.”He sighed, stretching his arms, cracking his knuckles — the sound echoing like a warning. His eyes, sharp and predatory, scanned the room. Every flicker of movement was noted, catalogued. But his gaze lingered on Davina, watching her every breath, every twitch of her jaw. She sat opposite him, her posture rigid, her eyes burning with calculation, trying to pierce through his mask.Damon leaned forward, his tone shifting into confession.“The moment I laid eyes on you, I had my assistant gather your every minute detail — Your routines, your habits, your weaknesses. Fate, or coincidence, brought us together at that club. Though things escalated, there was something that kept pulling me towards you. And trust me, I wanted to apologize and have a fresh start, but you rubbed me the wrong way, baby girl
The hospital corridor smelled faintly of antiseptic and tension. Nic strode in, his voice already tight with worry.“D… how’s Ryan coping? I saw the scandal. Who the hell have you messed with now? First Ryan, then you, and Ana… and how’s Ana? Did she wake up?” Nic fired the questions in quick succe
Davina wiped her tears, her voice trembling as she relived the memory. The scene of Jacob’s death replayed in her mind like a curse she could never escape. Her chest tightened, her breath shallow.“I wish it had ended there,” she whispered, her words breaking.“But no… Damon dragged my unconscious
PASTShefali's POV:I thought that was it.All I saw was darkness. Unlike the last time, there was no light, no comforting flashbacks, no fragments of memory to cling to. Just numbness. Then pain. Then numbness again.I felt bad for my baby — my baby who would never see the world. Maybe that was fo
As Davina proudly glanced at the crimson carpet stretched like a river of fire beneath the chandeliers, every inch of it alive with flashes, voices, and whispers. She stepped forward, her velvet gown clinging to her form like armour forged in silk. The slit revealed the strength of her leg, the tra
