Nicholas’ POV Kiara turned toward Damon, and before I could say anything, she ran into his arms. She held onto him like she needed him to breathe. My chest tightened as I watched her. My Kiara…in someone else's arms. Damon glared at me, his eyes full of anger. “Don't you dare come close to her again!” I stood there, frozen as I looked at them. My fists clenched at my sides, the sting of rejection cutting through me. My mind had screamed at me to stop her, but I couldn't move. She had chosen him, and I couldn't do anything about it. “Did he hurt you?” Damon asked her, his voice gentle, like he cared about her more than anything. Kiara shook her head. “No…I'm fine.” She didn't tell Damon exactly what happened. She didn't look at me. Not even a glance. And then they walked away together. Only Damon turned back and shot me a deadly stare. It felt like someone had ripped my heart out and left me standing there, broken. Why had I kissed her? I didn't know why, but she

Kiara's POV Back at the office, I tried to focus on the pile of work waiting for me after taking a day off. Rose, my assistant, had a stack of files on my desk, which I needed to review urgently. “Thank you, Rose,” I said, glancing at the files. “You're welcome, ma'am. How was your trip to the States?” she asked with a warm smile. “Interesting, Rose. It went well.” I replied, smiling briefly before turning to my laptop. “Okay, ma'am. I'll take my leave now,” she said, nodding slightly before walking out. Moments later, a knock sounded on the door. “Come in,” I called out. The door creaked open, and Damon stepped in, his presence filling the room. A smile played on his lips as he walked toward me, leaning down to place a quick kiss on my cheek. “Missing me already?” he teased. I blushed. “Maybe,” I said, pulling him closer to kiss him on the lips. Then he settled into the chair across from my desk. “Or maybe I'm just surprised to see you here during work hours,” I said, sm

Nicholas' POV “Were you able to trace the sender?” I asked Luca, stepping out of my car. “No, sir. At least, not yet.” He replied, following me.I knew Kiara was in danger and I needed to protect her. But she wouldn't even let me into her life anymore. I wanted to see her again, to tell her how sorry I was, and convince her to trust me just once again.“Prepare a flight to London, Luca,” I said to him before entering my office. He nodded and I shut the door behind me. Damn it! I slammed my foot against the wall, breathing hard. Then I heard a knock on my door. “Leave my door, I have no meetings today,” I spoke without knowing who was there.“It's Hollis.” A soft voice came off. Hollis? What was she doing here? She wouldn't stay out of my life, would she?I reluctantly opened the door and she came in, looking tall and gorgeous as usual. She dropped her bag on the table and folded her arms. “I'll help your company.” She spoke words that sounded unbelievable to my ears.How had she ch

Kiara's POVI couldn't believe my eyes. Damon was standing there, right in front of me. I didn't even have to say a word, and there he was—no warning, no call...I had never told him where I was going. So, how the hell did he find me?My heart pounded in my chest. I felt a rush of confusion, fear, and something I wasn't ready to face. How could he be here? How did he even know where to look for me?Then, I saw Nicholas smirk. He wasn't even bothered. “Looks like someone has a tracker on his… woman,” he said, his voice dripping with sarcasm.I wasn't sure whether I wanted to scream or just walk out of the room. Instead, I just stood there, frozen. What the hell was happening?Damon didn't waste any time. He walked up to me, smiling without saying another word, he pulled me into his arms. I was still in shock, but a small part of me felt safer with him holding me. But then his voice cut through the silence. “I came just in time. I won't let anyone touch my woman. Especially not you, Nic

Damon's POVI stood up, watching the phone ring aloud as I stepped out of the house. I didn't want Sofia and Serena to hear our conversation because they disliked Sarah a lot ever since she stole their jewelry years ago.Swallowing the lump in my throat, I picked up the call after it rang again. “I knew you wouldn't ignore my calls. Meet me at our spot.” Our spot? She got to be kidding me right now. I clenched my fist, about to speak until she hung up on me. I sent Sofia a text saying I'd be out for a while, and then I kick-started the car and drove off to FAYS.That was where I met her a few years ago. She was just a blonde with a pretty boldface and had a tiny dove tattoo on her neck. I had just got off work and was driving home at night, and I noticed a lady in a fur coat, walking by the roadside alone. She walked freely and slowly as though nothing else mattered, her head was bent down and when I stopped my car, she stopped walking too.I took her in, she explained that her ex-h
