Semua Bab Falling for the CEO Who Ruined My Best Friend: Bab 31 - Bab 40

DAMIEN'S POV “Will you ever forgive them?” “I don't see any reason why I should,” I replied as I placed the phone on the table and she gestured for me to sit beside her. “I can't understand that you would never forgive Mom; I can't forgive her too. But Father… he's been trying his best to build his relationship back with you. Don't you think you should give him a chance?” She asked softly as she placed her hands over mine but I shook my head immediately. “Does he really deserve my forgiveness? If he was never so distant, if he was always there whenever I needed him, then I wouldn't have had to go through all that shit. Your mom wouldn't have had to threaten me by using you as bait. I wouldn't have lost my freedom as a child. Think about it, Julie.” I said and pulled my hands out of hers but she held it back again as she pouted at me sadly. “I'm not asking you to forgive my mom. I just want you to give father a chance to show that he's sorry. He still doesn't know what my mom

ELLA'S POVDays had passed since Jullietta, Damien's sister, returned, and it was nothing but fun with her. She was very friendly and it was almost like we had known each other our whole lives.Ever since that day that I helped Damien get off in my office, our relationship had grown significantly and we got closer than before. I didn't want to admit that I loved his company but I had to remind myself why I was doing everything.To find out the truth and get justice for Sylvia.However, the times I've spent with Damien only showed me that he was pure and would never do anything without a reason. He might try to put up a cold front in front of everyone but to me, he was a very vulnerable man that didn't deserve to be alone.Damien must have seen something that made him fire Sylvia. But why was there no evidence? They seemed really close, what suddenly happened between them?I needed to get to the bottom of everything but my relationship with him has to be very strong. I need him to be a

DAMIEN'S POV I couldn't take my eyes off her. It was like I was enchanted, charmed but I didn't care. As long as it was her… I just didn't care anymore. It was crazy to know that I felt that way about her because I wanted to trust no one after what Sylvia did to me. But there was something about her that drew me in and I couldn't deny that I felt something for her. Julietta did a very good job by filling my head with constant talks about Ella and I knew that she fancied her a lot. Picking out that blue sundress was one of the best decisions I've ever made because it blessed me with the sight of an ethereal beauty- I suddenly slapped my forehead with my palm when I realized how cheesy I was getting. I was never this way with Sylvia yet I loved her with all my heart. I shook my head to dismiss the thought as I watched Julietta and Ella compliment each other on how beautiful they looked. "Is no one really going to tell me how handsome I look? I asked with a sulky expression and

DAMIEN'S POV I felt bad about the way I spoke to Ella but it was a coping mechanism that my body had gotten used to whenever I came in contact with my stepmom. She was still as devious as ever, trying to manipulate my words and acting like she's always been a good person. “Are you seriously going to sit there while you let her walk away like that? You know you clearly hurt her feelings; all she did was care for you.” I heard Julie say beside me and I rubbed my palm over my face as a soft sigh escaped my lips. I knew that she was right but… She just didn't understand. I didn't want to tell anyone about my stepmom… at least not yet. “She was asking too many questions, Julietta. It was only right that I silenced her with that. Besides, the less she knows, the safer she'll be.” I replied and she rolled her eyes at me like I was a child as she suddenly slapped my arm with her palm. “Are you serious? Don't you see that Ella likes you? She's just worried and would like to know more about

DAMIEN'S POV“What do you want from me, Maria? Haven't you had enough? You tortured me for ten years of my life, isn't that enough for you to stop? Aren't you satisfied with my dad?” I asked in frustration but she chuckled in amusement as she shook her head in response.“You shouldn't have run away, Damien. It was so unruly and disrespectful of you. After all the love and affection I gave to you, you decided to run away from me, did you think you could run away forever?” She asked in her irritating, soft voice, and I clenched my hands into fists as I glared at her.“Love and affection? You call molesting me love and affection? You threatened every day for ten years by using Julietta as bait. I was powerless to you then, but not anymore. You can do nothing to me, Maria.” I said coldly even though I was trembling within.My brain kept replaying the scenes of me tied up in a chair when I was young while she had her way with me. If I ever fought back, she'd hurt Julietta and I couldn't le
