Just as tension filled the air, a voice suddenly echoed through the hallway, breaking the silence. It was a relief to hear something that interrupted the impending disaster. "Mr. Damien," Senator Juan stuttered from the far end of the hallway. And behind him is a group of people that I am sure were curious to see what was going on.Ignoring Senator Juan, Damien looked beside him. He gave the men in black attire a close look before I noticed an indistinct frown suddenly settled on his face. "Hmm... You came with them?" His lips stretched into a thin line. He then glanced at Alexander before looking at me. I couldn't help but feel a surge of curiosity and apprehension. Damien's reaction to the men in black attire was questionable. His frown seemed to suggest that he wasn't pleased with their presence. I felt his gaze fixed on me for a while, slowly scanning my body in search of any wound due to my screams earlier and the gunshot. My eye was fixed on his triangular neatly curve

Olivia Fuck…!!!As soon as we parked the car, I quickly opened my side door and stormed outside. I was filled with such intense pain and frustration that I didn't even bother waiting for Mason."Olivia. Olivia!" I ignored him and angrily stormed into his house, pacing around the sitting room in a circle. "Ugh!..." I groaned in frustration, pulling my hair and gritting my teeth. It felt like everything was just falling apart. "Come on, Olivia," Mason said, rushing inside he then stopped in front of me. "What's wrong? You've been acting strange at the party," he continued, but I immediately stopped and looked at him, my expression filled with a mix of frustration and hostility."Can't you see it?" I asked, my curiosity evident as I scanned his face for answers. I was desperate to find some clarity in the midst of my confusion.But all I noticed was his eyebrow twitching up in confusion. "See what?" he inquired, clearly puzzled by my question."Damn it...! Stop acting clueless,

Damien's POV: As I adjusted my necktie, a smile spread across my face as I caught sight of myself in the mirror. Memories of what happened at the party came rushing back to me, and I couldn't help but think that Ashley did an incredible job playing her role. She definitely deserves a thumbs-up for pulling it off so well! With a chuckle, I picked up my hairbrush and leisurely started brushing my hair, making my way down to my beard. I understand the look on Alexander's face, those suspicious looks and that's why I need to prove to him with actions so that I can easily achieve my goals.**Beep. Beep!" As I turned around, I couldn't help but notice my phone buzzing on the nightstand. And of course, Ashley had her own room which was very small in size and could barely fit two people at once and looked more not well arranged. Well…… that was once my personal room where I pack stuff that I don't normally use and on the night of our wedding, I made it clear to her that she won't be sha

It was a sunny day outside, and I found myself sitting in the back seat, gazing out of the car window. Emily's words echoed in my mind, reminding me that Damien wanted to see me in his office. Which one of his offices could it be? I let out a sigh and quickly glanced at the driver, who seemed completely focused on the road as if he had been given specific instructions on where to take me.The driver took what felt like an eternity to reach our destination. Eventually, the car came to a sudden halt in front of a towering building. There was something oddly familiar about the road leading up to it. Lost in my own thoughts, I was jolted back to reality when the driver opened my door. Stepping out of the car, I looked ahead and nearly stumbled as my eyes locked onto the banner proudly displayed in front of the building. "POWERTECH INNOVATION COMPANY," the name was boldly written, and my heart sank at the sight. Did he bring me here just to taunt me? Tears welled up in my eyes, and I s

Ashley I love that feeling of peace and comfort when I close my eyes and tap my finger, lost in thought. It's like the world fades away for a moment. Though staying here is one hell of a thing, you know? It really weighs on me, knowing that I'll be working in the very company that used to belong to my father. It's a heavy burden. Sometimes, I wish I could turn back time to that night when I sneaked out with Layla. Maybe then, I could fix everything. But sadly, it's just not possible.Because everything that's been going on in my life lately is just slowly eating away at me. I've got so much on my plate, so many responsibilities that I can't seem to find any solutions for. And to top it all off, Layla has completely disappeared since that incident after our encounter in the hallway that day. But you know what? sighing, I hissed out. “Not like I care to know her way about though,” However, I was still lost in my own thoughts when out of the blue, I heard a knock on the door. It
