CHAPTER 41

Jeremy leans back in his seat, arms folded. “You're quieter than usual. That’s not like you.”

Natasha lifts her glass, eyes narrowing. “Maybe you don’t know me well enough to make that judgment.”

A smirk plays on his lips. “Three meetings. That’s enough to know you are not the quiet type. You do cold stares and snappy comebacks.”

She sets her glass down. “I didn’t accept your invite to analyze me.”

“No,” Jeremy says, leaning forward, “you came because you’re curious. About me.”

She rolls her eyes. “Don’t flatter yourself.”

“Too late,” he replies, gaze locking onto hers. “You’ve been staring at my mouth for five minutes.”

Her cheeks flush, and she looks away for half a second.

Jeremy lifts his hand, brushing his thumb across the corner of her lips. “Wine stain.”

“You could’ve just told me.”

He licks the pad of his thumb slowly. “That would’ve been less fun.”

Natasha scoffs, but her heart’s racing. “You’re ridiculous.”

“And you’re not as unaffected as you pretend to be.”

  • REVENGE AND DESIRE   WHAT THE HELL DOES HE MEAN

    CHAPTER 58 The sky outside was a pale, washed-out gray when Selene padded barefoot into the lounge, clutching her coffee like it was the only thing keeping her upright. The house was still, quiet in a way that felt like it was holding its breath. Damien sat on the edge of the couch, one hand on his knee, eyes locked on the muted TV screen.“Did you sleep?” she asked softly.He turned his head toward her, his expression unreadable for a beat. “Did you?”Her lips curved, tired. “Not really.”She sank onto the couch beside him, the fabric cold beneath her legs. The silence stretched, thick but not uncomfortable. It was the kind that came from understanding, from knowing there was nothing left to say about yesterday that hadn’t already been felt.“I keep thinking we’ve seen the worst of it,” she said after a moment, staring ahead. “And then someone new steps out of the dark.”Damien glanced down at her hands. She hadn’t even touched the coffee. “You’re not facing it alone this time. No m

  • REVENGE AND DESIRE   CALL

    CHAPTER 57Selene stood at the top of the stairs, eyes on the driveway below. The sunset cast long shadows across the courtyard, the air heavy with a silence that felt like the aftermath of a storm. She could still feel Cherry’s energy clinging to the walls, the echoes of her threats simmering beneath the surface.Damien joined her without a word. He stood close enough that she felt the warmth of his presence, but he did not reach for her. Not yet.“She’ll try again,” Selene said quietly, her gaze fixed on the gate in the distance.“She won’t get far,” Damien replied. His voice was low but certain.Selene turned to him. “How can you be so sure?”“Because I’ve made peace with my past,” he said. “She no longer controls it.”Selene studied his face. There were lines near his eyes that had not been there a year ago. The weight of everything they had survived was etched into his expression. But so was something else. Peace. Real, quiet peace.“I thought I would feel different after today,”

  • REVENGE AND DESIRE   BUT CLOSE ENOUGH

    CHAPTER 56 The air in Damien’s study felt tight, like something unspoken pressed against the walls.Evelyn stepped in, her heels clicking sharply on the marble floor. Her blazer was perfectly tailored, her chin lifted, eyes defiant.“You called for me?”Zayne didn’t return her gaze. He leaned against a bookshelf, arms folded. Julius stood quietly near the desk, alert. Selene, however, sat with one leg crossed over the other, crimson nails tapping against the armrest, eyes like winter steel.Damien turned from the window and nodded once.“Sit.”Evelyn stayed standing.“What is this about?”Selene rose slowly.“Don’t insult us. You know exactly what this is.”“I really don’t,” Evelyn replied, though a flicker of unease betrayed her.Zayne gave a dry chuckle.“Come on. You wiped Damien’s lab clean. Tampered with the system. You left fingerprints all over the mess.”“I didn’t—”Selene cut in sharply.“You forged security footage. Tried to frame me for it. Planted files, then scrubbed the evid

  • REVENGE AND DESIRE   BUT IT'S CLOSE

    CHAPTER 55 Sunlight filtered through the blinds, softening the sharp lines of the room. Selene stepped out of the bathroom, steam curling behind her. Her towel clung to damp skin, hair trailing droplets onto the floor. Damien sat at the edge of the bed, focused on his laces, but his eyes flicked up as she moved.“You’re heading out early again?” she asked, voice low but steady.He nodded, pausing. “Julius called. Something’s come up.”She grabbed a robe from the chair, slipping it on as she spoke. “Something? Or someone?”He stood slowly, as if choosing his words required effort. “It’s Evelyn.”Selene’s hands froze at her waist, robe half-tied. “What about her?”“We are going to expose her but we still have to stay cool because I feel she is planning something,” he said, watching her reaction. “I don’t know what yet, but I’m going to find out to see how far she’ll go.”“I told you she was bad news,” Selene muttered. “You saw it too—you just didn’t want to admit it.”Damien stepped cl

    CHAPTER 54The moment Damien left, leaving selene all alone she decided to go downstairs,but she noticed something.Evelyn was supposed to be here,she didn't know anywhere in this city.She went downstairs and met Lady Lina coming out from the kitchen.She stopped her. “ Good evening Lady Lina,have you seen Evelyn?”Lady lina bowed. “ I have not seen her since yesterday ma.”“ Really?, you can go.”She watched as she left and her mind flew back to Evelyn.Where was she?---Inside Julius’ home, Zayne was already seated in the room, Julius was seated on the bed as he watched Zayn hands moving in the laptop.Julius slid the hard drive across the table. “This came in from our off-site backup. It’s untouched. Original timestamp intact.”Zayne stared at him and plugged it in quickly.Damien stood behind them, watching the footage roll.It was the same lab hallway with the same distant voices. But this time, there was a signature in the meta data.And a name.It appeared in the upper right

  • REVENGE AND DESIRE   WE'RE NOT DONE

    CHAPTER 53Damien burst out of his office, tension lining every step. "Zayne come with me,Now."Zayne trailed behind, laptop tucked under one arm. "Where are we going?""Natasha's place," Damien replied, his voice clipped and unyielding.The drive stretched longer than it should have. Natasha lived at the far end of the estate road.Damien was behind the wheel, pushing the car harder than necessary."You think Selene's alright?" he asked suddenly, eyes fixed on the road, knuckles white on the steering wheel.Zayne hesitated. "She’s strong. But you really hurt her, Damien. She’s not going to bounce back overnight."Damien nodded slowly. "I know. I was stupid. I let myself get manipulated. I should’ve seen through it.""We’ll figure it out. What matters is that you’re doing something now."Damien's jaw tensed. "I need to know who’s behind this. Who wanted to tear her down."Zayne’s voice dropped. "We will. I won’t stop until we do."The rest of the drive passed in silence, thick with un
