SADIE’S POV

The words floated through the air like smoke.

Two years since the chaos, the fear, the heartbreak, and the choices that changed everything.And somehow… we ended up exactly where we were always meant to be.After it all ended, and Damon and I got re-married, Damon and I came back to the city where everything began. We didn’t return to the same houses or the same memories—we chose a new place, a new home, a fresh start. Our mansion sits on a quiet hill overlooking the city lights, but inside… inside it feels like peace. The kind of happily ever after I didn’t even know existed.I never imagined my life would feel this soft.Damon visits Theo and Silas occasionally. Even now, it still surprises me. I never expected him to make the first move, let alone keep trying. But he has this look in his eyes whenever he returns—thoughtful, almost determined.He once told me he understood them more than he wa

  • The Stranger My Heart Belonged To   129. A Family We Choose To Built.

    SADIE’S POV.I never thought the world could feel this quiet.The resort at Belmare looks different in daylight—softer, gentler. The last time we stayed here, Damon and I were strangers with matching last names and nothing else.Now… the air feels warmer, the sea calmer, as if it remembers us.The ceremony is small. Private. Exactly what I wanted but never dared to imagine I’d get.White chairs lined on the sand, soft floral arrangements drifting in the seaside breeze, and the ocean stretching out behind the reverend like a blessing I didn’t know I’d been waiting for.It’s perfect. Perfect for me.Daven looks adorable in his tiny tux, his hair combed neatly to one side even though he keeps trying to mess it up with his hands. M

  • The Stranger My Heart Belonged To   128. Love Before Memories.

    DAMON’S POVThe fluorescent lights hit me like knives the moment we step into the emergency wing—too bright, too clean, too calm for the hell we’ve just crawled out of.Nurses swarm us instantly, eyes widening at the blood soaking through my shirt—my blood—but I push past them long enough to get Sadie and Daven into seats.“Take care of them first,” I bark.“Sir, you need immediate—”“I said take care of them first.”The sound of my voice must register as a warning because they obey immediately, no questions.Sadie grabs my wrist.Her fingers tremble, but her grip is iron. “Damon, stop. Let them help you.”I look at her—her tear-s

  • The Stranger My Heart Belonged To   127. What Remains When Fear Ends.

    DAMON’S POVBOOM.Glass shattered. The skylight blew open in a rain of shards.I didn’t wait.I jumped.The officers shouted behind me, but the roar of air drowned everything out. For a second I was weightless—falling straight into hell.Theo’s scream reached me first. He spun, gun snapping upward.I hit the ground in a roll—hard, brutal, bone-rattling—and came up with my gun raised.“SADIE, GET DOWN!”Gunfire exploded through the hangar as the police stormed in from the breach above, rappelling with military precision.But I only saw one thing.Theo’s hand clamps around my son’s wrist—yanking

  • The Stranger My Heart Belonged To   126. The Edge Of Losing You

    DAMON’S POVThe moment the last man near Silas hit the floor and the gun smoke thinned into the air, my body buckled— just for a second.Just long enough to feel the heat of my own blood soaking through my shirt again. Just long enough to understand one brutal fact:I was running out of time.And then— Sadie’s scream hit me.Faint. Far. Choked.But it ripped through my skull like an explosive charge.Sadie. Daven. Taken.“Give up, Damon,”Silas’s voice slithered from somewhere behind the haze. “My men are closing in. You’re running out of bullets, blood, and luck. Tell you what—sign your part of the papers, and maybe I’ll let you go. Or at least

  • The Stranger My Heart Belonged To   125. All That's Left To Lose

    DAMON'SPOV The second the door slammed and Sadie disappeared behind it, something inside me snapped—clean, cold, lethal.One of Silas’s men lunged in, trying to force me down to my knees.Wrong move.I twisted, caught his wrist, and drove my shoulder into his throat. He choked, staggered—my fists already slamming into his ribs, his jaw—raw, bare-handed violence, because they’d stripped my gun the moment they dragged us out of the car in the basement.He collapsed, wheezing. And instantly every other barrel in the room lifted toward me.The click of safeties off was a chorus—sharp, metallic, deciding how close I was to death.Silas strolled forward like this was a theater show put on for his amusement. Then he dug the muzzle of his gu

  • The Stranger My Heart Belonged To   46. Jealousy And Desires.

    DAMON’S POVThe car was too damn quiet.Not even the hum of the engine could drown out Theo’s voice in my head, playing on repeat like a scratched record. That smug half-grin of his, so casual, like he didn’t know how close he’d come to being smashed through the glass table.Jack was driving. My dr
