Sabrina’s POV

I could tell Jace was holding his breath too; the tension in the air was palpable when Mr Harrington left the table. I wondered why he had gone without breakfast. My eyes followed him as he moved across the sunlit balcony, fingers flying across his phone before he made a call that seemed to excite him. Probably implementing the idea I had just shared.

“Wow! You really did great,” Jace said, a sparkle in his eyes. “I mean… My father hardly praises anyone, and you just outdid yourself. How did you even know all that advanced stuff?”

I shrugged, trying to play it cool. “I’ve been paying attention in class, and I do a lot of research. I want to work in an oil firm after my degree, maybe pursue a master’s if the opportunity comes along. Right now, I’m just laying the foundation for the bigger dreams I have.”

He grinned. “I’m so proud of you. Your parents would be super proud to have a daughter like you.”

I felt a twinge in my chest. Should I smile or let it fade with the morn

  • The Hockey Star's Spicy Stripper   CHAPTER 155

    Damien’s POV. I bolted out of the mansion like a man possessed, my keys clutched in trembling hands, my vision blurred by tears I couldn't seem to stop. The pain in my chest was physical, a crushing weight that made it hard to breathe, hard to think, and hard to do anything but move forward on autopilot.I'd forgotten. In the chaos, in the destruction, in the revelation that my entire life was a lie, I'd completely forgotten.Lily was still in the hospital.My daughter: No, not my daughter, Fred's daughter, was lying in a hospital bed waiting for a blood transfusion, and her biological parents were too busy destroying my life to even ask about her condition.The thought made my stomach churn violently. I gripped the steering wheel tighter, trying to push down the nausea.Fred and Vanessa were useless. Worse than useless. They were parasites who'd fed off my life, my love, and my trust and left nothing but destruction in their wake.And Lily... God, Lily.The image of her tiny face, h

    Damien’s POVThe sound of glass shattering against the wall was therapeutic in a twisted, yet sickening way. Each crash, each explosion of crystal and porcelain, felt like releasing a tiny bit of the rage burning through my veins like acid.I'd started in the living room; the expensive vases my father had collected were gone. The decorative mirrors that cost more than most people's cars, smashed. The antique furniture Aria had so carefully selected for the mansion was overturned.But I was careful. Methodically careful. Because even in my fury, even in my complete mental breakdown, some part of my brain was screaming: Not the study. Don't touch anything in the study. The security system. The verification checks. The forty billion dollars.So I destroyed everything else instead.I was in one of the guest bedrooms now, a baseball bat in my hands, where I'd found it; I couldn't remember, taking out my rage on the dresser, the nightstand, and the ornate lamp that shattered with a satisfyi

    Aria’s POVI was already accustomed to his shenanigans, the way Julian would wake me with gentle touches and the way he'd study my face while I slept like I was a puzzle he was trying to solve. So when the evening sun hit my face, and I felt fingers brushing hair away from my eyes, I wasn't startled."Hey, baby." His lips pressed against my forehead, warm and soft. "You're awake."I stretched, my body deliciously sore in all the right places, and let out a yawn that probably wasn't attractive, but I was too comfortable to care. "How long was I asleep?""Not too long. Maybe an hour?" He handed me my phone, and something in his expression made my stomach tighten. "Your phone's been ringing nonstop. You should probably check it."I pressed the power button, the screen lighting up with a barrage of notifications. My heart sank when I saw who'd been calling.The security post. Five missed calls."Who is it?" Julian asked, his brow furrowing. "You look terrified.""It's the mansion's securi

    Aria’s POVHe barged through the front door like a hurricane, all fury and devastation wrapped in human form. I'd been waiting in the foyer after picking him up from Fred's apartment, the silence during the drive so thick I could have choked on it."Hey." I tried for gentle and non-threatening. "I made breakfast. Eggs, bacon, toast, nothing fancy, but…"He walked past me like I was invisible. Like I hadn't just driven across the city to rescue him from whatever hell he'd discovered. His face was a mask of anguish, with red-rimmed eyes, a jaw tight enough to shatter, and hands clenched into fists at his sides."Damien?" I followed him toward the stairs. "What happened? What did you find?"He didn't answer. Just kept climbing, his footsteps heavy and deliberate, like each step required monumental effort."Damien, talk to me. Whatever it is, we can…"The bedroom door slammed in my face with enough force to rattle the frame.Then I heard it. A sound I'd never heard from him before: raw, b
