Skylar's POV

I woke up with a yawn, freezing the moment I saw Damien sitting on the bed. He was already dressed in a tailored two-piece suit, slipping on his loafers with his phone pressed to his ear.

He lowered the phone, his gaze locking onto mine.

I cleared my throat, pulling the blanket closer to my chest. “You're up for work already?” I asked, desperate to break the uncomfortable silence.

“Yeah.” He reached down toward the bed,

  • My Safest Danger    Ava's Little Game

    Skylar's POV Phone cameras flashed from every direction. I covered my face and bolted through the glass doors. My aunt's car was already pulling out of the parking lot, so I hurried over and stepped in front of it, forcing the driver to slam on the brakes. “If she doesn't get out of the way, run her down,” my aunt ordered from the backseat. I stared at her through the windshield. She might be bossy and all, but she wouldn't go as far as running me over. At least, that was what I thought. The engine roared, and the car began moving toward me. I froze, my foot refusing to move as the headlights grew closer. A hand grabbed mine and pulled me out of the way. Strong arms wrapped around me, drawing me against a familiar body. The tears I had been holding back came pouring out. I clutched his shirt and buried my face against his chest, struggling to get the words out between sobs. “Was it because I didn't win an award?” I sniffed, lifting my face to look at him. “She said something

    Skylar's POV “Wait!” She gasped, reaching out to grab my necklace. “Where did you get this from? I've been trying to get my hands on this exact piece for ages.” Damien does have eyes. “It's a gift,” I replied, touching the pendant. She leaned closer, examining the necklace. “Damien must have bought it.” Her tone turned cold, laced with something bitter. “Can you give it to me?” Was she serious? “Why?” “Don't get me wrong.” She pouted, nudging my arm. “Think of it as a keepsake of our friendship. You haven't forgotten my offer, right? Let's take a picture. I'll post it on my socials so we can remember this day. Now pull it off, please.” I sighed, watching her pull out her phone, and gently pushed her hand away. “I don't like taking pictures. And I have a friend who might bite your head off if she saw you talking to me.” “Wow, I'm so jealous of you.” She flashed her ring finger, fidgeting with the heavy stone. “I don't have anyone to call a friend. The man I got engaged to

  • My Safest Danger    Gala Reunion

    Skylar's POV Damien and I entered the ballroom together, drawing the attention of a few guests. The hall was filled with men and women dressed in expensive outfits. Soft music played in the background while waiters moved between the tables with trays of champagne. Damien's hand rested against my lower back as he guided me toward the VIP section. Several familiar faces greeted him along the way, and he returned their greetings before stopping in front of a group of men seated around a table. “That man over there is Mr. Dante's brother,” Damien whispered, pointing at a middle-aged man seated at the far end of the table. “It's quite hard to get an audience with him, but if you can get through to him, he might be able to connect you with his brother. Come on.” The man rose from his seat when he saw us and extended his hand. “It's a pleasure to meet you, Salvatore. It was nice doing business with you.” “Likewise.” Damien shook his hand and brought me forward. “This is my wife, Skylar

    “They can wait.” I didn't lift my head. I kept fucking her open with my tongue until her body trembled and a soft cry tore from her as she came on my tongue, flooding my mouth.When her breathing became steady, I got up from the bed and reached for the fresh clothes I'd picked for the gala. “Get dressed. We're almost late for the gala.”She frowned, crossing her arms. “I didn't reply to your text. What does that tell you? I'm not interested.”“Why?” I asked, turning to face her.“There's a high probability that Jace might attend.” She reached for a towel and wrapped it around her chest. “I've been banned from attending as well.”Her expression made it clear that her mind was already made up. The makeup artist and designer I'd arranged for could arrive at any moment, and I had no intention of letting my preparations go to waste.“It's okay,” I replied, pulling on my trousers. “I was supposed to introduce you to Dantes the day you came to my office, but you were exhausted. I planned on

  • My Safest Danger    Gala Night I

    Damien's POV The mention of Jace hadn't sat well with me ever since Marco brought it to my notice. Jace had developed a habit of appearing wherever Skylar went, and approaching Xavier was a line he shouldn't have crossed.Darkness had settled over the estate by the time my car pulled into the driveway. A few calls still needed my attention, but they could wait until after the gala.The bedroom was empty when I walked in, though the sound of running water from the bathroom told me my woman was inside. I pulled off my watch, loosened my cuffs and pushed the bathroom door open.She lay in the tub, her head resting against the edge. Her eyes opened, tracking me as I unbuttoned my shirt.“You came home late,” she murmured with a tight smile.I stripped off the rest of my clothes and settled behind her, resting my legs on either side of hers. “Come closer.”She leaned against my chest, and I rested an arm around her waist, careful not to strain my shoulder.For a while, neither of us spoke

  • My Safest Danger    Gala Invitation

    Skylar's POV Xavier's eyes widened as he looked ahead. I turned to see what had caught his attention and found Damien climbing the steps toward us. Didn't he say he would be busy with work? Nevertheless, he had arrived just in time, and judging by Xavier's expression, he was overjoyed to have his father here. The photographer smiled, raising his camera. “Perfect timing. Now that everyone is here, we can take a proper family photograph.” I swallowed a lump in my throat at the word family. A few whispers broke out among the parents while others raised their phones to take pictures. “I'm here for my kid, just as every other parent is here for theirs. So, I'd appreciate being allowed to enjoy this day with him as his father without turning it into a spectacle.” His gaze shifted to the photographer. “No pictures of my family are to be shared online without my permission. I trust that won't be a prob
