After that call, Damien completely ignored Gilbert and walked away. He adjusted his shirt and went straight to meet the important men he had kept waiting.

"I sincerely apologize for keeping you waiting," he said politely before continuing the tour with them.

Meanwhile, Gilbert tried to go after him, but one of the security men stopped him.

"Sir, you can’t go any further," the guard said firmly.

"Let go of me!" Gilbert shouted, trying to push through.

The guard’s light grip made Gilbert lose his balance. His walking stick slipped from his hand, and before he could steady himself, he fell hard to the floor.

Everyone around paused and looked at him. Some people whispered, some stared quietly, and Gilbert felt completely humiliated. His face turned red with anger.

He was still on the floor when his phone began to ring. Trembling, he reached for his pocket and saw his mother’s name on the screen. He grabbed his stick, stood up slowly, and took a few steps away from the crowd before answeri

    Once they entered the room, he placed her on the bed, his gaze devouring her as he followed her down, caging her beneath him. “Is that a yes?” he breathed.Her answer was a wicked smile as she reversed their positions in a single, fluid motion, straddling his hips. She peeled off her blouse and, before he could react, she used it to bind his wrists above his head. Damien's eyes flew wide. "Whoa, are we playing with bondage now? Like BDSM?" he gasped, his voice raspy.She silenced him with a soft kiss, then trailed her lips down his neck, over his Adam's apple, and down the hard plane of his chest. Her hand followed, a slow, deliberate path south until her fingers found the hard ridge of his cock straining against his trousers. He groaned, hips bucking involuntarily. "Taking the lead?" he managed to rasp. She just smiled, her fingers working on his belt buckle. "I'm going to ride you until you can't see straight," she purred, her voice husky with promise. "Let's make a baby." "Fuck

    As Lyriel drove down the busy road, more billboards came into sight... one after another.Each one carried her picture, different words of affection written boldly across them."You’re my peace, Lyriel.""You’re the reason I smile every morning.""Please Lyriel, marry me."Her heart fluttered. She slowed the car slightly, staring at the screen in disbelief."Isn’t that you on the screen?" Ava asked, looking up with wide eyes.Lyriel smiled faintly and nodded. "I guess it is." she said softly.She pulled the car to the side of the road and reached for her phone. After a small breath, she dialed Damien’s number.When he answered, his tone was calm yet teasing. "Hello, my lady."“Mister…” Lyriel began, still surprised. “What is all this I’m seeing? Billboards, screens… what are you doing?”Damien chuckled softly on the other end. “You once told me to chase you if I really wanted you as my wife,” he said, his voice low and deep. “So I’m doing exactly that. I took it too personal”Lyriel w

    An older woman in the front row raised her hand politely. "Mr. Barrett," she said with a curious smile, "if I may ask… your company name, DL Corp, what does ‘DL’ stand for?"The hall quieted again, all eyes turning back to Damien.He paused for a second, a faint smile appearing on his face. "That’s a good question," he said, his tone softening. "I’ve never actually shared that story publicly."Lyriel listened curiously."The letter 'D'," he began, "stands for my name...Damien. The part of me that built this company from the ground up, through trial, failure, and faith." He paused, his gaze drifting toward Lyriel. "And the letter 'L'… belongs to someone who gave me strength when I had none. The woman who reminded me that light still exists even when everything turns dark."The room was silent.He smiled faintly. "Her name is Lyriel."Whispers spread through the crowd, and soon everyone was watching in awe. Cameras flashed, capturing the moment — Damien’s calm confession and Lyriel’s te

    Applause filled the grand hall, echoing off the tall glass walls as Damien stood at the podium. Reporters raised their cameras, guests leaned forward in their seats, and even the security guards straightened up.Damien waited until the noise died down completely before speaking. His deep voice rang clearly through the room."Thank you," he said calmly. "I know many of you have been curious about DL Corp...who we are, and what exactly we do. Tonight, I’d like to explain what this company truly stands for."He glanced toward Lyriel in the audience and smiled faintly before turning back to the screen behind him."DL Corp is built on three solid pillars," he began. "Each branch has a single purpose, but together, they make us stronger than any single corporation could ever be."The audience listened quietly as he continued."The first branch,” Damien said, pressing a button on the small remote in his hand, "is DL AeroTech. This department focuses on providing raw materials and advanced me

    Kohl stood gracefully beside her father, her gown catching the light as she smiled warmly at the man exchanging a conversation with her father."Hey," Damien greeted calmly."Hey," Kohl replied softly, her smile widening.Before she could say more, Damien felt Lyriel’s gentle but firm gaze on him. With a small smile, he slipped an arm around her waist and drew her closer."Mr. Xiao," he said with pride in his voice, "this is the woman I was telling you about."Mr. Xiao’s eyes softened as he looked at Lyriel. "He didn’t lie," he said kindly, giving her shoulder a light pat. "You are a remarkable beauty."Lyriel smiled politely, bowing her head slightly. "Thank you, sir."Kohl admired Lyriel quietly for a moment, then extended her hand. "You’re even lovelier in person. I’ve heard so much about you. This young man here wouldn't stop talking about you."Lyriel chuckled lightly. "I hope it was all good things."The two women shared a brief, warm hug before Damien’s phone buzzed. He checked
