“WHAT. THE. FUCK. HAPPENED?” Ryan’s voice sliced through the thick, suffocating tension of the Knight mansion.

Damon didn’t answer.

He couldn’t.

It was his driver and assistant who had dragged him home, battered and half-conscious, after finding him slumped outside the gates of Parker Group. They had laid him on the massive leather couch, unsure whether he was alive or dead, waiting desperately for Ryan to return.

When Ryan saw him, his blood turned to ice. Damon looked like he’d walked through hell — bruises, blood, torn knuckles, eyes glazed with a fury so deep it didn’t seem human anymore.

“We should go to the hospital,” Ryan muttered, reaching out.

Damon jerked his body away, growling under his breath like a wounded animal. He grabbed the jug of water, drank half, and poured the rest over his head, soaking his bloodied shirt and black suit.

“Where’s Eva? And the baby? Are they okay?” Damon croaked out finally, voice hoarse like gravel scraping steel.

“They’re fine. I hired extra se

  • KISS OF HIS BETRAYAL   CHAPTER 21: Torn Truths and Shattered Pasts

    FLASHBACKAlex’s POV:The moment I stepped into the house, exhaustion weighing down my bones, I barely had time to think about a nap before the maid came rushing towards me, panic painting her face pale. Her words tumbled out frantically — Shifu hasn’t eaten for days… she’s unconscious… she’s barely breathing…Without wasting a second, I sprinted towards Damon’s private wing. The sight that greeted me nearly stopped my heart.There she was — Shifu — lying like a broken porcelain doll on the cold marble floor, her skin ashen, her body frighteningly still.I dropped beside her, my fingers trembling as I checked for a pulse.Nothing.For a horrifying moment, I truly believed she was gone.Without thinking, I scooped her frail form into my arms and raced to the hospital, my mind screaming in panic.The doctors took over immediately. Minutes crawled by like centuries before they finally approached me, their faces grave. They told me she was severely malnourished, dehydrated to dangerous lev

    The doctors finished dressing Damon’s wounds. Once their conversation came to a halt, they informed him, he needed to rest and get himself admitted to a hospital for further check-up immediately. Ryan and Alex helped him to remove his shirt, and let the doctors check him thoroughly. Damon resisted at first, but his body eventually betrayed him, worn down by pain and stubborn pride.The doctors injected him with a high-dose painkiller that dulled the throbbing in his body but made his mind foggy, heavy, yet still restless.Even in his dizziness, Damon barked orders at Alex with the last of his strength.“I want her, Alex. You know what needs to be done… I want her back. This time if you betray me, I will kill you….I want my girl back. She’s just mine. Alex… By hook or crook, I want her back. Do the necessary… Now… she’s alive… I… I need her, I can’t…” His voice cracked, the desperation tangible in the still air. “Call him… ask him to… to… meet…”He couldn’t complete his sentence. His ey

    “Some wounds are carved so deep, even time forgets how to heal them.”On the way back, all she could think about was him.Only him.It was a cruel reality check— a brutal reminder that she hadn’t moved on, that the wounds carved deep within her soul could never truly heal. Her heart and mind waged a merciless war, tearing her sanity apart thread by thread.Damon had damaged her beyond repair.He had disfigured the part of her that once believed in love, in trust, in hope.Now, she could never imagine giving her heart to anyone else. He had ruined her.She wasn’t just broken — she was shattered into pieces too sharp for love to ever touch again.”He didn’t just hurt her. He rewrote the very way she trusted, loved, and existed.In the ruins of her heart, only echoes of his betrayal dared to linger.And yet, even after everything, her body still betrayed her.The man who had manipulated her, betrayed her, tormented and humiliated her, could still melt her hatred with just a soothing whisp

  • KISS OF HIS BETRAYAL   CHAPTER 24: The Depths Of Her Despair

    Davina ignored their concerned remarks and silently walked towards her closet, her movements mechanical, almost detached, as if she were operating outside her own body.“Shifu, did you forget….. we just refurnished this apartment? You don’t have anything in the closet,” Jenny reminded her gently, her voice laced with unease.Davina didn’t reply.She turned, her hollow, vacant eyes briefly glancing at Jenny before she moved with eerie calmness toward the bed while wearing the bathrobe she grabbed from her closet. She threw her towel towards Jenny’s face and sank her body into the mattress heavily, and she grabbed a few tissues from her bag.Yet, without even realizing it, her trembling hands began rubbing at her neck again — desperately, violently — as if trying to erase invisible stains burned into her skin. She rubbed and rubbed, ignoring the panicked expressions on her friends’ faces, lost in the dark whirlwind raging inside her mind.“Enough, Davi… Enough!” Jenny finally exploded, u

    Davina sat curled up on the edge of the couch, her arms wrapped tightly around her knees. Her eyes flickered briefly at Jenny’s voice, but her face remained still, unreadable.“Did you… Did you inform Mike? Was he there when you left the penthouse?” she asked, her voice barely above a whisper, laced with fatigue and something else— dread.“No, he wasn’t there. I just told the housekeeper to tell him you have many important meetings lined up and will be late. The housekeeper was suspicious when she saw her packing your clothes, but don’t worry, I handled that part well. Mike called, but you didn’t answer.”Davina didn’t respond. Instead, she grabbed Jenny’s phone and typed rapidly.Hey Mike, it's me, Jenny. Davi is in an EOD meeting right now. After that, we’re planning a girls’ night, so she won’t be coming home. She’s safe here with us. She asked me to inform you before you come running to the company.The reply came in less than a minute.MIKE: Is it you, Davi, texting from her phone

    Past BeginsDavina’s POV –The sun had just begun to set when I got home from basketball practice, the golden light casting long shadows through the living room windows. I pushed the front door open, drenched in sweat, expecting the familiar scent of mum’s jasmine diffuser and the distant hum of the kitchen television. But the atmosphere that greeted me felt… different.It was too quiet.Dad sat in his armchair, elbows resting on his knees, fingers knotted tightly together. He looked up at me with that rare expression— one I’d only seen once before, when the company had faced immense loss due to some new product launch. Mum stood beside him, arms crossed, her face unreadable. The tension between them wrapped around the room like a tightening noose.Before I could ask what was going on, Mum spoke.“We have to leave for London. There’s an investor summit. It’s important Shefali.”Just like that.No smile. No buildup. No sugarcoating.My throat went dry.“What about my birthday? It’s my !

  • KISS OF HIS BETRAYAL   CHAPTER 27: In the 'CLUBHOUSE'

    Looking at the view in front of us, my breath hitched. Our eyes were literally wide open in amazement. We had never seen such a beautiful and mesmerizing pub that screamed so much richness. It felt as if we were in some sort of dreamland. The place was very well organized and beautifully carved, it really looked like a wonderland filled with plenty of beauties mainly models it seemed, handsome hunks, and quite a lot of celebrities. The clubhouse was extremely huge and mesmerizing with a classic and royal touch, screaming its luxury. The whole place was decorated with artificial red and white candles. The walls and furniture were deep red and white-colored. There were a few couches, tables, and chairs for people to sit and enjoy their drinks while watching the sexy, sensual, and flexible moves of the dancers. A piece of sensual music was being played in the background. There was a huge glass chandelier hanging from the roof in the center, below which there was a fountain along

    Present "That's how I first heard about him.....at first I hated him, his guts, his audacity but then slowly I started liking and admiring him, then he became the man of my dreams and without even realizing it I fell for him..... I was crazily, stupidly in love with him. I barely spent 2 years with him but in those two years the way I felt about him I have never ever felt that way or loved anyone like that. I never get attached to people but he became the most important person in my life and I was so attached to him that I used to feel I couldn't even breathe if I didn't see him or at least talk to him. He gave me the things that I craved the most love, time, and attention. My parents were always occupied with their business, and job meetings all I had was Eva. I know they loved me more than their life but they were never there for me when I needed them I craved their attention and appreciation so much that I had this urge to be the best in everything at least then they would see me

    I took a deep breath to calm my self, a lot of thoughts were running in my head while we were walking towards the venue. When I saw parents waiting for us outside the venue, I felt like a wave of calmness gush over me.From the way my parents looked me with admiration, I could say they were mesmerised by the way I had dressed and was surprised to see me in the outfit I had worn but soon enough the calmness I felt moments ago disappeared and I was consumed with guilt, as it hit me how on earth was I supposed to explain everything to them, what if I had to encounter him again in front of my parents, what explanation would I give them. All those thoughts overpowered my reasoning and a surge of panic arosed in my gut making me feel choked.The moment I reached near them instead of questioning me, my Mom hugged me, while complimenting my dress and how beautiful I looked followed by my Dad. I knew they had a lot of questions but that instance all I felt was a relief, I wasn't in the right m

    I turned back and saw a really handsome man with ocean blue eyes, jet black hair, sun-tanned skin, chisled jaw with a five'o clock shadow wearing a black shirt. He looked perfect as if summoned from a fashion magazine.His eyes were focused on that woman if looks could kill someone than that woman would have been dead by now. I don't know for how long I kept looking at him but I only realized when I noticed that evil smirk on his face. He slowly tilted his head and looked at me with that evil smirk and then it hit me.It was him..... The stranger from the club.... the one in my nightmare.... It was the first time I saw his face for clear. I just hoped all of this was another nightmare I didn't want to be anywhere near him I wanted to run away but felt my feet was glued to that spot unable to move, unable to speak or even look away from him. I didn't hear what that woman kept on blabbering, all I heard was him yelling"Enough"That too because he looked away from me."Didn't she tel

  • KISS OF HIS BETRAYAL   CHAPTER 34: BIRTHDAY SURPRISE

    I reached back in our room by five in the evening. We had to attend a party which was expected to start by seven. Eva had decided to stay in Jenna's room as Jenny and Jacob wanted to stay at Jenny's new accomodation. When I entered my room there were 5 beautifully packed gift boxes kept on my bed. Seeing them I shrieked in surprise. There was also a happy birthday card and a beautiful white lily and tulip bouquet. I was extremely happy seeing the flowers they were my favorite. I assumed it was the surprise that Eva mentioned earlier, I was so excited I eagerly started to unwrap the gifts. In one box there was a beautiful maroon sheath gown with a halter neck, which was backless and had a slit from the upper left thigh. I excitedly opened the second box. It had a silver-colored stiletto-heeled ankle strap, which made me look taller than usual. The remaining three boxes weren't that big and I could easily guess it was some jewelry, but I was stunned to see the mesmerizing jewelry tha

    I was blindfolded and my hands were tied to the headboard. I felt as if my whole body was paralyzed, unable to move or utter a word. I was terrified. All I could hear was my heavy breathing and the fast rhythm of my palpitating heart. My mind was numb but still, I could feel another person's presence in the room with me making my heart beat erratically.With a heavy voice 'I asked more like a whisper "Hellooo...... is there anyone please untie me.... and let me go...... helllooooo is there anyone...." I wanted to sound strong and not scared but unfortunately, it didn't turn out the way I wanted but I got the attention of the person who tied me to the bed with blindfolds.I could feel movements on the bed someone coming closer to me and my heartbeat rose to a more rapid rate making me more nervous, my palms wet and sweat beads forming on my forehead even in that airconditioned room. I could feel the breath of that person near my inner thigh slightly moving my shorts then slowly moving

    "YOU WILL BE MINE............AT ANY COST" This words ere ringing in my head and in anger I hurled him and raised my hand once again in order to slap him, but I unintentionally ended up slapping Alex. I didn't realize when that man had moved or when Alex was in front of me. A trace guilt sweeped over my heart for a oment but it disappeared as soon as it arrived when I saw the look on his face. "Hey, I....." And his words died in his mouth when I glared at him. Alex was pretending as if he didn't know what was happening and tried to talk as if nothing had happened and in my rage, I pushed him and by that time the guy had disappeared. I was so frustrated and angry. "Fuck you.... Fuck you both..... assholes..." I yelled and showed my middle finger and left in anger without even bothering to look at anyone. I was sure Alex knew him it couldn't be a coincidence Alex disappearing that guy showing up and when he crossed the line Alex showing up again shoving the other guy, and this hap

    "Hey, where were you? I was so worried. All good." He asked worriedly. To me, he seemed genuinely worried about me and I gave him my best smile, assuring him I was fine. "Come, let us have some fun and check our luck...." Alex said and held my hand, taking me towards the casino of the clubhouse. The place was loaded with people crowded at different tables trying their luck to win. Some shouting and cussing angrily while others cheer and applauding It was obvious that he was quite familiar with the place and the people knew him well. All the girls were giving him their best seductive smiles and looking at me in annoyance while giving me their best bitchy looks. It made me chuckle, leaving a permanent smug on my face. A few men were nodding and bowing when they saw him, but none of them dared to look at me inappropriately. The authority that he carried impressed me and I looked at him with adoration. I don't know, something about him started to attract me, maybe the authority he car

    Davina's POV: . I was feeling tipsy and losing my patience as I couldn't understand whatever they were saying and it started irking me. "Bran, are you like interested in men.... specifically, the one about whom you are talking? " I asked. I could see how shocked everyone was hearing my blunt question and also, I guess I was a bit loud considering the people sitting on the nearby tables also gave us these weird looks. And from the way Eva glared it was confirmed I was blithe about my tone. "Sorry, if I was rude but for God's sake..... stop talking about that man, Demon, or whateva.... I don't care..... I am done listening about him...... I already started hating him because of your constant bickering...... and trust me boy no one is interested in your prattling. If you like him so much, go and kiss his ass." I almost yelled at him for no particular reason. In my defense, I was a bit drunk. "All you men are so useless. Come, Eva, let's go to the dance floor.

  • KISS OF HIS BETRAYAL   CHAPTER 29: When I First saw HER!!

    PAST: Damon's POV: The moment she stepped into that hotel she caught my eyes I could see how mesmerized she was, looking at the interiors of the hotel and, the people around. She looked as if she didn't belong there and she definitely didn't look British. She had this glimmer in her eyes like an excited child. She looked so pretty and sexy like a tease showing off her curves in that little dark blue tank top and white cargo pants catching people's attention. She looked so oblivious to the stares she was getting. I was in that hotel for some official purpose to sign the papers and legally take over my father's company along with signing a few business consignments. Never in my wildest dreams, had I thought I would be standing in a corner instead of getting into the elevator and looking at a little girl like a creep though her body looked nothing like a little girl except for her innocent eyes and her parents accompanied her. I hoped and wished at least she was 21. She definitely, had
