Chapter 7

ผู้เขียน: Wendy Gill
My eyes stung, my voice hoarse with emotion. "Thank you, Valerie. I don't know how I'll ever repay you."

She arched an eyebrow. "Just live your best."

I smiled, letting the moment settle. "I will."

...

The next morning, we dove into work.

Valerie's vision stretched far beyond the horizon. A long time ago, she had acquired a local company.

It was beginning to show some promise, though it still hadn't made a significant mark.

My role was to elevate it.

Long absent from the workplace, I struggled to adjust to the fast pace.

Valerie laid out a work plan and patiently guided me.

During the day, I helped her with documents, and in the evening, I joined her for business meetings.

My time spent accompanying Damian to various events paid off. I handled the corporate world with ease.

I tackled tasks with precision and soon tripled my output.

My colleagues were impressed. "You're a powerhouse!"

As dusk fell, the office emptied.

Valerie lingered at her desk, teasing me, "You're a ma

    Damian reached into his pocket, pulled out a box, and handed it to me."I stayed up designing this necklace for you," he said. "The gem is one of a kind, like you. Please, give me another chance."I tapped my fingers on the table, my eyes sliding past the jewel. "Don't you think it's a bit too late? That a shiny gift could erase all these years of pain?"Desperation crept into his voice. "That's not what I meant. I'm sorry that I hurt you."The screen of my phone lit up. I glanced at it and saw multiple messages from Valerie, asking about my whereabouts.I pushed the necklace back and stood up. "If you're really sorry, stay out of my life. Let go and set me free."I walked out, and he didn't follow....Back at the office, Valerie sulked, "You vanished without a word. Do you have any idea how worried I was?"I apologized, promising it wouldn't happen again.That evening, a letter arrived. There was a Centurion card and a note from Damian.His handwriting was heavy with regre

    Damian's gratitude was meaningless now."If that's all, I'm going home," I said, turning to leave.He grabbed my arm, his voice cracking with urgency. "Now that the truth is out, Harriet will pay for her lies. Come back with me. We don't need kids. I'll treat you right."His eyes were full of sincerity."Are you serious?" I asked."I swear," he vowed. "I'll never fail you again."I laughed bitterly, shaking off his grip. "You think that erases everything? That a few promises make me forget the pain you caused?""I..." he tried to explain, but words failed him....I turned to walk away.He reached out to stop me, but a can suddenly flew from a distance.It hit his hand, causing him to recoil in pain.Valerie stepped out of the shadows and picked up the can with a mocking smile. "Well, well, isn't this Mr. Patton, the king at Harriet's party? Now you're groveling in Frostuolton?"Damian's gaze hardened. "This is a domestic issue. Stay out of it."Valerie was unfazed. "Is i

    The secretary hurriedly handed the flight information to Damian.He scanned it and heaved a sigh of relief. "Thank God! She's safe."...At the hospital, Harriet had no idea what had happened outside.All she knew was that after Damian saw that ring, he suddenly went frenzy searching for Serena and even ordered her to be guarded.On the floor lay the two documents left behind by him. One was an abortion report, and the other was a divorce agreement.Harriet seethed, her eyes blazing.She'd endured years, letting me bask, for his inheritance and marriage.Now it was all crumbling.She gritted her teeth and hissed, "That bitch ruined everything. No inheritance and no marriage. I'll tear her apart!"A sharp slap cut her off.She clutched her cheek, staring up at Damian in disbelief. "You hit me?"His gaze was a tundra, chilling her to the bone."The ring I had earlier," he said slowly, "was the one I gave to my savior in the fire. It wasn't you, right?"Harriet stiffened, bi

    ...Damian shot to his feet, nearly toppling Harriet from his shoulder.He strode over and seized the ring, his eyes locking onto it with a jolt of recognition.It was the token he'd given his savior amidst the fire's chaos. He had asked Harriet about it once. She had stammered, claiming it was lost.He hadn't pressed. Instead, he had consoled her with a lavish necklace. Now, the ring lay pristine in his palm, its weight a silent accusation.Snapping alert, he dialed my number repeatedly, but none went through.His knuckles whitened as he gripped the phone. Turning to his secretary, he barked, "Mobilize everyone! Find Serena!"He stormed out, ignoring Harriet's attempt to grab his coat. Her pout met his glacial stare, colder than ever."Assign guards," he ordered sharply. "She doesn't move a step without my permission."Yanking his coat free, he left her behind.In the car, the secretary tracked my location as they sped toward the airport. "Sir, her flight to Oathinend depa

    Before Harriet could finish, I slapped her across the face.She crumpled to the floor, ready to curse, but footsteps approached.Tears immediately flooded her eyes. She whimpered, "Serena, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have kept Damian all night. Hit me if it helps. Just don't be mad. I'll do anything to make it right."I scowled, words forming, but a furious voice cut through the air. "Serena, you've gone too far!"Damian stormed in, his face a mask of rage as he pulled Harriet into his protective embrace. "Her arm ached all night. It was from the scar she got saving me. I stayed to ease it, and you assaulted her? Pregnancy doesn't excuse cruelty. How can you be so vicious?"He hurled a cake box to the ground. The delicate layers smashed, the "Happy 3rd Anniversary" written in cream smeared into a ruined mess.Today was our wedding anniversary. I'd forgotten it, but he remembered.I swallowed the bitterness rising in my throat and met his cold stare. The truth clawed at me, desperate
