ログインChapter 20The DNA DeceptionDamian’s POV"You're staring," Amara said, raising her eyebrows at me as she scooped another bite of scrambled eggs into her mouth.I blinked, looking away quickly, feeling like I’d just been caught doing something criminal. “Sorry. Just… thinking.”She gave a soft chuckle and leaned back against the headboard. “Thinking? About what? How bad your takeout dinner’s going to be?”I smirked. “I happen to be very skilled at choosing the best takeout in the city, thank you very much.”“Mmmh,” she hummed, clearly not convinced. “We’ll see.”It felt easy too easy. Sitting there with her, laughing, sharing a plate of now-cold breakfast, I almost believed the chaos around us had finally paused.Almost.Because deep down, there was a storm brewing. I could feel it an itch beneath my skin I couldn’t shake. And just as I opened my mouth to say something else, maybe something stupid like “You’re beautiful when you laugh,” my phone buzzed violently on the nightstand.“Le
Chapter 19Damian's POV Breakfast in Bed The tray for no reason felt heavier in my hands than it should have been in the first place. Toast, scrambled eggs, and even as went as far as squeezing freshly made orange juice, though simple to some people but thoughtful. I wasn’t even sure why my palms felt clammy. It was not a big deal as I see it, just a breakfast, not a diamond ring for proposal. Yet, the more I approached her room, my heart pounded endlessly like I was about to step into a hostile boardroom.I stood like a statue at the door for a moment, doing my best to steady my hitched breath. The events of the past couple of days had left me restless, completely torn between my own stubborn pride and the undeniable pull I recently developed toward Amara. I knew she deserved more than the cold indifference I am dishing out, especially after everything I had put her through. It was of course worst than what she experiences with her family.Pushing the door open, it was a great sigh
Change 18Burning Desire Damian’s POVI walked slowly into the penthouse, exhaustion heavy on me like a great cloak. The day had been inconsiderably brutal...back-to-back compulsory meetings, endless negotiations, and of course, the usual chaos that comes from running a billion-dollar empire. But none of that could be compared to the trouble that had been brewing intensively inside me for weeks.As I bent to set my briefcase down and get my tie loosened, I quickly glanced around the living room. It was strangely quiet, too quiet, the kind of silence that made my thoughts louder than it should be. Pouring myself rather a glass of whiskey to calm my nerves, I caught movement from the corner of my eye. I spurned around and saw her...Amara...standing just on the balcony. The sliding doors were left ajar, and the soft menacing glow of the city lights incredibly framed her silhouette like a painting.She looked so... so... so ethereal.Her loose soft curls danced gently to the sound of th
Chapter 17Uninvited Guest 2Amara’s POVThe knocking at the door was loud and persistent, jolting me from my deep thoughts. I sighed, wondering who could be so impatient. Damian wasn’t home, and I was grateful for the rare peace. I don't long to seeing him in the evenings as before, all I wanted was to stay far away from his lustful and penetrating eyes, but with cold and distant exterior. “Hold on!” I called, standing up and heading to the door. When I opened it, my heart nearly stopped.Victor.He stood there, looking as polished as ever in a crisp navy suit, his jaw tight with barely suppressed anger. His eyes locked on mine, piercing and accusing. He was the least person I expected to see at my doorpost.“Victor,” I said, my voice a mix of surprise and dread. “What are you doing here?”He pushed past me without waiting for an invitation. “We need to talk.”I shut the door, already feeling the headache forming. “Victor, this isn’t the time...”“Oh, it’s the perfect time, Amara,”
Chapter 16Uninvited Guest Amara's POVThe morning sunlight streamed slowly through the windows, illuminating Damian’s penthouse beautifully. Everything about his luxurious home screamed wealth...from the sleek furniture to the glass floors that seemed to gleam effortlessly. But as I sipped my tea at the dining table, my mind wasn’t on the luxury surrounding me at the moment.It was all on Sisi.She had been over the last two days, practically oozing sweetness and affection. It made my skin crawl in anger. I wasn’t stupid. Sisi didn’t change overnight, and her sudden interest in "rebuilding our sisterhood" was as suspicious as it was irritating. I could see through her act, and to be honest, she's doing a great job.The sound of Damian’s footsteps was what pulled me from my thoughts. He walked into the room, dressed in a tailored gray suit that fit him like a second skin. He looked effortlessly perfect as money was speaking, like he owned the world—and in many ways, he did. “Morning
Chapter 15I Came to TalkAmara's POVI stood at the door, watching as Sisi stepped inside, her bright smile plastered on her face, like she had somehow been transformed overnight. She was acting like a completely different person, and I wasn’t buying it. Not even for a second.“Sisi?” My voice was cautious, laced with suspicion. “What’s all this about?”She stepped into the penthouse, gliding past me with an air of confidence. “I came to talk,” she said, her tone light and breezy. “I figured it’s time we put all this nonsense behind us.”I raised an eyebrow, my mind immediately going on high alert. Nonsense? I wasn’t sure what she was referring to, but I had a feeling I knew where this was headed. “What nonsense?”“The fighting,” she said, her words soft and apologetic. “I’ve been so petty, Amara. I let my jealousy get the best of me. I know I’ve said things I shouldn’t have, but I don’t want to keep fighting anymore. I want to make things right between us.”I folded my arms, eyeing
