  • KISS OF HIS BETRAYAL   EPILOGUE

    Twelve Years Later:“Please, let me go… I’m already exhausted, and it’s a big day. Iggy will be waiting for me… I hope he isn’t already crying,” Davina coaxed, her voice strained yet soft, as Damon’s lips traced fire along her neck.“Baby,” he murmured against her skin, his tone husky with desire,“I can’t get enough of you. It doesn’t matter how many times I’ve had you this morning… I need more.” His teasing words made her blush, her body betraying her resolve.Davina’s breath came in husky whispers, her body trembling under his touch.“Dami… ahh… please… we’re already so late…” she moaned, trying to sound firm but betraying herself with every shiver.Damon chuckled against her skin, his lips grazing her neck as he teased,“Late? Baby, the world can wait. You know I can’t get enough of you. And tell me — what do you think about another baby? Maybe twins this time… a boy and a girl. Imagine me shirtless, messy hair, all sweaty, trying to rock them to sleep. Feeding them, holding them

    The drive to the hospital was long and heavy, each passing streetlight flickering against Davina’s tear‑streaked face.No matter how she tried, Ryan’s words kept echoing in her mind like shards of glass, cutting deeper with every breath. Thankless. Curse. Evil omen. The cruelty of it all left her hollow.Was that how everyone saw her — a woman who destroyed everything she touched?Her hands trembled as she clenched the phone, trying to steady the storm inside her. But the effort was futile — until a sound cut through the chaos, fragile yet powerful: the laughter of her children.Inara’s giggle, the boys’ playful bickering over who had drawn the better card for their father, the tiny bouquet Inara had made from wildflowers — all of it washed away the poison of Ryan’s words. Their innocence was her salvation. She wiped her tears, forcing a smile as the hospital gates came into view.Michael was waiting at the entrance, his expression softening when he saw her. She looked fragile — banda

    The morning light spilled through the towering glass windows of their bedroom, pale and cold against the polished floor. Davina stood near the glass, as though she were fading into the world outside.Hospitals were places she despised — too many memories, too much pain — so she had chosen instead to wait here, in Damon’s vast home, a place she had once called her own.Now it's silence pressed heavier than any sterile ward, the floor‑to‑ceiling glass windows reflecting her ghostlike figure back at her, reminding her of everything she had lost and everything she still feared.Three days had passed since Damon’s surgery. Three days of endless quiet. Three days of watching the sun rise and fall, waiting for a heartbeat strong enough to promise survival.Jenny’s voice broke the stillness.“Are you sure, Shifu? You’ve barely recovered. The doctors said you needed at least a week of rest.”Davina turned, her expression calm but her eyes hollow.“No matter what you say, you can’t convince me

    Alex’s heart thundered in his chest as he sped through the city, the car slicing through traffic like a blade. His knuckles whitened against the steering wheel, his breath shallow, his mind screaming at him to go faster.Every second felt like a lifetime. Behind him, Damon lay sprawled across the seat, his body drenched in blood, his breaths shallow, his skin ghostly pale. Davina clung to him, her clothes soaked crimson, her tears falling like rain. Inara whimpered softly, her tiny voice trembling, her wide eyes locked on her father’s fading face.Jacob had stayed behind, forced to deal with the aftermath — clearing bodies, coordinating teams, ensuring no trace of the massacre remained.But Alex’s focus was singular: get Damon to Trinity Hospital. He broke every traffic rule, weaving through cars, the siren of his own heartbeat louder than the horns around him. Fifteen minutes felt like eternity.Trinity Hospital loomed ahead — the Knight Group’s pride, Damon’s own empire. Yet tonight

    The room was dim, the curtains drawn to keep prying eyes away. The three women sat around the polished oak table, papers scattered, laptops open, their voices low but sharp. Hours had passed as they discussed their plan for the gala, upcoming projects, and the legal maneuvers surrounding Damon’s do

    Jenny moved like a shadow through the grand hall, her disguise intact, her posture timid, her eyes sharp. Every step was calculated, every glance rehearsed.

    Jenny had calculated everything down to the smallest detail. With a subtle maneuver, she strategically swapped her duty from serving wine to pouring rose water and applying scent to the guests at the entrance of the hallway.
