LOGINIt was over in four minutes.
Four minutes was the gap between Damien's team outside registering the approach and the scene being contained. I did not see most of it; I was in the hallway, against the wall, phone in my hand, following the instructions of the security lead who had come on my line thirty seconds after Damien.
When the all-clear came, I opened my front door.
It was over in four minutes.Four minutes was the gap between Damien's team outside registering the approach and the scene being contained. I did not see most of it; I was in the hallway, against the wall, phone in my hand, following the instructions of the security lead who had come on my line thirty seconds after Damien.When the all-clear came, I opened my front door.Two men I had never seen before were on the pavement in handcuffs. Damien's security team, three of them, which I had not known were there, were on the phone, efficient and unhurried. A police car was already on the block.I stood on my front step in the cold air and looked at the scene with fear. I hadn’t thought I would ever be scared of the situation, but if Damien didn’t have a team outsi
I went to work from Damien’s penthouse for a week before I went back to mine on Monday.I stayed there with him for ten days and it was bliss. I got to know him better within those few days, not only was he caring but what drew my attention the most was the way he handled my affair.We worked on my proposals for investors together.Everything that had to do with my work with the sovereign, we set a time aside for it every day, and we completed what we were set to do at the appropriate time.And did I mention that he was a very focused person?He was my kind of person and I did not even know when I fell for him again. Sometimes, I would feel he loves me too, sometimes, I would tell myself he needs to tell m
Serena’s POVDamien came back about two hours later, I had a feeling that I shouldn’t ask what he went to do.That night, Carrie sent me a message asking about me and requesting that we meet for lunch tomorrow.I got myself there. My car had been fixed and was out with Damien's security team parked at the curb outside the restaurant.I sat across from my stepsister and chatted about nothing in particular while watching Callie's as she spoke.For signs.Everybody is a suspect right now.Callie mentioned the Sovereign twice
Damien's POVThe warehouse stood at the edge of the city.Abandoned.Forgotten.Exactly the kind of place where people passed by, not even thinking about what was happening in there.I had made sure Serena was fine before living, she was my priority just as much as her safety is.Tom, my driver, came down to open the passenger’s door for me. I came down, my hand in my coat pocket fetching my sunshade.Black was already waiting for me as soon as I got out of the SUV.I
Serena’s POVI woke up that morning feeling a sense of relief, even as the first thought that ran through my head was the recent happenings.But I wasn't scared.Maybe because I woke up in Damien’s arms while he was still asleep.Or because generally, I was a strong woman, but hey, I had never been in this kind of situation all my life.How would I have known that I would be strong in such a situation?Mia called at 8 AM.By then, I was in Damien's kitchen with him, he had woken up a few minutes after I stood up from bed and he
Damien's POVI took her into our bedroom, set the temperature to a comfortable level and put the quilt on her.Our bedroom.It sounded like a real thing to me.Ours.After tucking her into bed, I headed to my study to make a couple of calls.My first call was to Black, the head of my other security team. Anytime I needed something dirty done, Black was the man I called."Has he talked?" I asked the moment he answered.They had caught the man who had bee
