At Schrett Holdings, Damien read through the file Evelyn gave him.

Afterwards, he flipped it downwards and leaned back in his chair.

A loud silence settled over the office before he picked the file up again.

This was the fourth time he was reading it in less than an hour.

He was impressed.

Every recommendation and idea was backed by figures, market research and practical solutions.

‘I feel this partnership is going to be great’, he said to himself as he glanced through the document again.

    Evelyn finally spoke, “Peter, calm down.”She stepped closer to him, keeping her voice gentle.“I understand that you’re annoyed, and honestly, I would be annoyed too if someone came into my house, started a fight with me, and hurt me. I’ve already apologized, and I’m apologizing again. I’m sorry about what happened.”Peter looked away.“But you need to calm down.”He remained silent.Evelyn glanced at Rayna before continuing.“And Rayna wasn’t wrong. Damien is still Cindy and Ruby’s father. You may not like him, and I certainly have no intention of defending everything he does, but that fact remains.”Peter shook his head.“You don’t get it, Evelyn.”His voice had dropped, but he still sounded frustrated.Evelyn stared at him.“What am I not getting?”Peter did not answer. Instead, his eyes moved to Rayna.She had tears in her eyes.The anger on Peter’s face softened almost immediately.Rayna looked at him with confusion and pain, and for a moment, neither of them spoke.Evelyn notic

    Evelyn pulled Damien farther away from the entrance before turning to face him.“What are you doing here?”Damien’s expression remained unreadable.“Your daughter reminded me of my princess.”Evelyn froze completely, shocked. She had not expected to hear those words.For a few seconds, she said nothing. Then she forced herself to breathe.“Did you meet my daughter?”“Yes. I believe she's your little one. She’s so pretty.”A small breath escaped Evelyn. She was relieved.She allowed him to digest his feelings in that moment. Because she knew who he was remembering…“Thanks for the compliment”, she said.She changed the subject before the silence could become uncomfortable.“Tell me, why did you come here?”Damien wiped away the small tear that had slid down his cheek.“I came here to meet you. Sorry, I got carried away with the remembrance of my daughter when I saw yours.”“It’s okay. What did you want to see me for? We saw each other a few hours ago in your office.”“That’s it. We had

    Violetta's eyes filled with tears. She reached for his hands.“I am past this level, Damien.”This time her voice softened.“I cannot fight for your love and attention with another woman. I just can't. Especially not Shirley's doppelganger.”Damien frowned and Violetta paused for a while before continuing. “I know what she is doing. She's getting into your head.”She squeezed his hands.“But I will not let her take you from me.”Damien remained silent through it all.“Ring or no ring, our wedding will hold.”She released his hands and wiped her eyes.“I will make sure of it!”Violetta turned and stormed out of the office.The door slammed behind her.Damien stood still. Then he turned toward his desk and slammed his fist against it.A sharp crack appeared on the desk.He stared at the damaged area...“Violetta does not deserve any of this.”Damien hit the table again.“What is happening to me?”His voice echoed through the office.He stood there, breathing hard.Then his eyes fell on

    After a while of silence, Evelyn settled on the chair and crossed her legs. She dropped her bag onto the table and lifted her chin a little, giving her posture an extra boost of confidence.Violetta remained standing.After everything that had happened in Damien's office, she had expected Evelyn to be nervous or defensive. Instead, she looked completely at ease.Evelyn tilted her head.“Do you really think Damien loves you as much as you love him?”Evelyn chuckled before continuing talking.“Silly me. Let me rephrase the question. Do you think Damien loves you even one percent of how much you love him?”“Be careful with what you say!”“Why? Did my words strike a nerve?”“You have no idea what you are talking about. You have spent a few minutes around Damien and suddenly you think you understand our relationship?”“I never said I understood your relationship. I only asked you a simple question.” Violetta stepped closer.“Damien loves me. He has always loved me and he always will.”“Th

    Damien was the first to speak…“It is not what it looks like.”Evelyn looked from him to Violetta, who was fixing up her dress.“Why are you giving me an explanation?” she asked. “She is your fiancée, so I have no reason to question what the two of you are doing. I only think you should try to respect the office. It could have been anyone who walked through that door.”Violetta's expression changed.“Please keep your advice to yourself. Everyone knocks before they enter, and as you said, I am his fiancée. We can make love anywhere and anytime we want.”Evelyn felt heat rise through her chest.She tried to suppress her rage.Damien looked at Violetta.“Evelyn is right.”Violetta stared at him.“What?”“I said Evelyn is right. Nothing was happening between us, but this is still my office. We should respect that.”Violetta slowly moved to the side.“I still do not understand why you are explaining things to her.”Damien looked at Evelyn.“I am sorry you had to walk into that.”Violetta's

    After the call ended, Evelyn lowered the phone slowly. Rayna was sitting across from her, her expression still tense.“What did he say?”“He wants to see me again at the same restaurant. I believe he wants to know if I've made a decision.”Rayna leaned back against the sofa and released a low breath.“And what are you going to tell him?”Evelyn looked at her, “I don't really know but I think I'm going to do it. I have not decided how far I am willing to go yet. But I cannot ignore what he asked of me.”Rayna and Peter remained quiet.Evelyn understood the hesitation on their face.“This is not about Damien”, Evelyn said. “At least, it is not about getting him back. Theodore has never asked me for anything before. But for the first time, he asked me for a favor. I don't think I have it in me to turn him down.” “I understand.”“I also think it is better if I deal with this now.”Rayna looked down at her hands.“I told you I would like to see my family again at the right time. I do not
