SAMANTHA POV

The tension in the hallway became almost unbearable.

I could feel it in the air thick, heavy, pressing down on my chest like a storm about to break.

Damon stood in front of me, tall and unmoving, his presence swallowing the space between us. His eyes, those intense eyes, were locked on mine, unreadable yet burning with something dangerously close to anger.

Or was it jealousy?

I didn’t want to assume.

But the way his jaw tightened when he glanced toward Marco earlier told me e

    SAMANTHA POVMorning came too quickly.I barely slept.Every time I closed my eyes, my mind replayed the same moments like a stubborn loop I couldn't shut off. The hospital hallway. Damon stood there like he owned the entire building. The dangerous calm in his eyes. Marco is stepping forward.And the look Damon gave him.I sat on the edge of my bed, elbows resting on my knees, staring blankly at the wooden floor of my apartment. The early sunlight filtered through the curtains, stretching pale gold lines across the room, but it did nothing to ease the tension still coiled tightly inside my chest.My alarm had gone off twenty minutes ago.I hadn’t moved.I dragged a hand down my face and exhaled slowly.Get it together, Samantha.You’re a doctor. Not a teenager overthinking a man.But Damon Mondragon wasn’t just a man.That was the problem.He was… something else entirely.Power clung to him like a second skin. The way people stepped aside when he walked into a room. The way even the h

    DAMON POV Night had always been my element. The city looked different after dark more honest. In daylight, people wore masks. Smiles that meant nothing. Polite conversations hiding selfish intentions. But at night, when the streets emptied and the shadows grew longer, truth had a way of surfacing. From the floor-to-ceiling windows of my penthouse, the entire city stretched beneath me like a living map of power and opportunity. Lights flickered across buildings, traffic moved like glowing veins through the streets, and somewhere out there among millions of people was Samantha Lopez. I lifted the glass of whiskey in my hand but didn’t drink. My attention remained on the skyline, my mind replaying the same moment again and again. Marco. Just the thought of his name made my jaw tighten. The way he had stepped between us earlier still lingered in my mind. Calm. Protective. As if he had the right to stand there and speak for her. My grip around the glass tightened slightly. Inte

    SAMANTHA POVThe city outside my window was alive, glittering with a thousand lights that blurred together like liquid gold. Yet inside my apartment, it felt suffocating. Every shadow seemed too close, every quiet tick of the clock amplified. Damon wasn’t here, and yet… I could still feel him. His presence lingered in my mind like smoke, thick and impossible to ignore.I sank into the armchair by the window, pulling my legs close to my chest. My fingers fidgeted with the edge of my skirt, curling and uncurling as though the motion alone could help me regain control of my scattered thoughts. Last night’s events haunted me. Every detail. Every touch. Every heat-filled glance. The intensity of him, the force of his jealousy, the way his body had been coiled like a predator ready to strike those images refused to leave my mind.I closed my eyes and tried to breathe. In… out… In… out… But even as I counted, the heat in my chest, the coil of tension low in my abdomen, refused to ease. My

    DAMON POV I should have left. The moment Samantha told me to go, I should have walked out of the hospital and forgotten the entire situation. But I didn’t. Because something about the way that man looked at her didn’t sit right with me. Dr. Marco. The name alone already irritated me. I stood inside the hospital parking structure, leaning against the hood of my car while staring at the tall building in front of me. The night air was cool, but it did nothing to calm the heat simmering beneath my skin. One of my men stood a few feet away, silently waiting. I barely noticed him. My mind was replaying the scene in the hallway. Marco stepping closer to Samantha. Marco speaking to me like I was some random guy bothering her. Marco looking at her like My jaw clenched. Like he had a right to protect her. A humorless chuckle escaped my lips. “Sir?” my bodyguard said cautiously. I didn’t look at him. “How long does her shift last?” “According to the schedule we obtained earli

    SAMANTHA POV The tension in the hallway became almost unbearable. I could feel it in the air thick, heavy, pressing down on my chest like a storm about to break. Damon stood in front of me, tall and unmoving, his presence swallowing the space between us. His eyes, those intense eyes, were locked on mine, unreadable yet burning with something dangerously close to anger. Or was it jealousy? I didn’t want to assume. But the way his jaw tightened when he glanced toward Marco earlier told me enough. I crossed my arms instinctively, trying to create distance between us even though he hadn’t taken another step closer. “You shouldn’t be here,” I repeated quietly. Damon tilted his head slightly. “And yet, here I am.” My patience thinned. “This isn’t one of your business meetings or corporate buildings, Damon. This is a hospital.” “And?” “And people are working.” His gaze flicked briefly down the hallway where Marco had disappeared. Something dark passed across his face. “Yes,”

    SAMANTHA POV Morning came too quickly. I barely slept the moment I left Damon’s penthouse, but exhaustion eventually caught up with me sometime before dawn. When my alarm rang, the sound sliced through the quiet of my apartment like a knife. I groaned softly and reached for my phone on the bedside table. 6:00 AM. Too early. My body still felt heavy, like every muscle had been drained overnight. But it wasn’t the lack of sleep that made my chest tighten. It was the memory. Damon. My eyes squeezed shut as flashes of last night rushed back to me the warmth of his arms, the intensity of his gaze, the way his voice dropped low when he spoke my name. I quickly sat up in bed. “Stop it, Samantha,” I muttered under my breath. The room was quiet except for the faint hum of the air conditioner. My apartment looked exactly the same as it had yesterday clean, organized, peaceful. But inside me, everything felt different. My fingers curled around the bedsheets. Why did I let that happ
