THE CALL FROM THE PAST

(Damien's POV)

I closed my eyes and tried to sleep, but my phone buzzed.

I sat up immediately, my heart pounding. Was it Rufus already? Had he found something about Michelle so quickly?

But when I looked at the screen, the number that appeared made my breath catch in my throat.

I knew that number. I had dialed it a thousand times. I had saved it, deleted it, and saved it again more times than I could count.

Serena.

Serena was calling me.

My hands shook as I stared at the screen. The phone buzzed again. Why was she calling me at two in the morning? Was something wrong with Isabella? Was my daughter hurt?

Terror gripped my chest as I swiped to answer. "Serena? Is Isabella okay? What happened?"

There was a brief pause. Then Serena's voice came through, tight and controlled. "Isabella is fine. She's sleeping."

I let out a breath I did not know I was holding. "Then why are you calling me at this hour?"

"Because I need to talk to you about something urgent," Serena sa

    THE TRIUMPH(Serena's POV)From my seat at Table One, I watched the Blackwood family's humiliation with cold satisfaction.Eleanor, sitting at the back table like a forgotten relic, her face twisted with rage. Victoria, red-faced and whispering furiously into her phone. And Damien...Damien looked broken. Defeated. Like a man finally understanding that the war was over."They actually came," Dr. Cole said quietly, following my gaze."Of course they came. Eleanor's too proud to admit defeat. She needed to see what she'd lost."Lucas Kane leaned closer. "Security is concerned. Eleanor's been making threats since her release.""Let her threaten. She's powerless now." I smiled.Jaxon Reed stood up on stage, adjusting the microphone. "Ladies and gentlemen, tonight we're honoring the children of New York. And no one has done more for children's health and education than our next speaker."The spotlight found me. The crowd erupted in applause.I stood gracefully, smoothing down my silver dre

    THE ACCIDENT(Serena's POV)We drove to the Brooklyn docks in tense silence. I sat in the passenger seat of Lysander's car, staring out the window at the city passing by. Elena was in the back, quiet for once.My mind kept replaying the scene at the clinic. Damien was hurt at Lysander's harsh words. And I had said nothing to defend Damien.Had I been too harsh? Should I have stepped in?No. Lysander was right. Damien needed to hear the truth. He had spent his whole life being coddled and protected. Someone had to tell him he was failing.“We're almost there," Lysander said, breaking the silence.I nodded. The docks appeared ahead of us. Industrial buildings and shipping containers lined the waterfront. In the fading evening light, everything looked gray and cold.Lysander parked near the area that was still cordoned off with police tape. We got out of the car and walked towards it.A different police officer was on duty now. He was older, with gray hair and a tired expression."Can I

    THE ATTACK(Damien's POV)As I stood there trying to decide, I heard footsteps in the hallway.Someone was coming.I quickly shoved my phone into my pocket and turned towards the door. Maybe it was Victoria looking for me. Or one of the servants checking to see if we needed anything.But when the door opened, it was not Victoria or a servant.It was Marcus. The security guard. The one I had threatened to have assassinated. The one who had been sleeping with Eleanor."What are you doing here?" I asked. My voice came out sharper than I intended.Marcus stepped into the study and closed the door behind him. His face was blank, emotionless. Like a mask."Mrs. Blackwood sent me," he said quietly.Something in his tone made my stomach drop. "Sent you for what?"Marcus did not answer. He just kept walking towards me with that same blank expression.I backed up. "Stay away from me. I'm warning you.""You've done enough warning, Mr. Blackwood." Marcus said.He moved fast. Faster than I expecte

    THE DINNER REVELATION(Damien's POV)I drove away from the clinic with my hands shaking on the steering wheel. Anger and humiliation burned through me like fire.How dare that man talk to me like that. How dare he speak about Isabella. How dare Serena just stand there and say nothing while he insulted me.But underneath the anger was something worse. Shame. Because everything Lysander had said was true.I was a coward. I had failed Michelle. I had failed Isabella. I had failed everyone who had ever depended on me.I drove back to the Blackwood mansion in a daze. By the time I pulled into the driveway, the sun was setting. The mansion looked imposing against the darkening sky, like a monument to everything I hated about my life.I walked inside and was greeted by one of the servants. "Good evening, Mr. Blackwood. Your grandmother and sister are in the sitting room."Victoria was back. Perfect. Just what I needed. Another family member to deal with.I went to my study first. I needed a

    THE CONFRONTATION(Serena's POV)"Serena? What are you doing here? And who are these people?"I looked at Damien's confused face and felt a flash of irritation. Even now, even in the middle of this crisis, he was asking pointless questions."I'm here to help find Michelle," I said shortly. "That's all you need to know.""And who are these people with you?" He asked again.Lysander walked past Damien without even acknowledging him. He went straight to the clinic door and tried the handle. It was locked, just as Damien had said.Elena followed Lysander, leaving me standing there with Damien."Serena, please," Damien said. "I'm trying to understand what's happening. How do you know about this clinic? And who are those people?""They're helping me," I said. "That's all that matters. Now, can we focus on finding Michelle instead of playing twenty questions?"Damien looked hurt, but he nodded. "The front door is locked. I already tried. And there's no one answering."Lysander was examining

    THE SEARCH BEGINS(Serena's POV)After I hung up with Damien, I stood in my kitchen, my heart racing.The body they found was not Michelle. That was good news. But it also raised more questions than it answered.Who was the dead woman? Why had she been killed? And where was Michelle now?Lysander was watching me carefully. "What did Damien say?""The body isn't Michelle," I said. "It's someone else. But Michelle is still missing. And Damien is going to a medical facility in Queens where Michelle was last seen. I'm meeting him there.""Absolutely not," Lysander said immediately. "You're not going anywhere near this. It's too dangerous.""I don't remember asking for your permission," I shot back. "Michelle is in danger because of the Blackwoods. Because of Eleanor. Someone needs to help her. And since Damien has proven over and over that he's useless, I'm going to do it myself.""Serena, please," Elena said. She had been standing quietly in the corner, but now she stepped forward. "Lysa
