All Chapters of Flames of love and war: Chapter 131 - Chapter 135

KelvinWaiting for Damien to speak was like waiting for a coiled cobra to approach you.You had to wait and monitor its movements carefully before making a move yourself.Left to me, I would have rushed into a confrontation with him but I had my men and Laura to think about.I've already lost a man today…no way in hell am I losing another without due diligence.Not when I knew someone orchestrated all these to make Laura terrified.After staring at us for the longest, Damien waved his men, silently instructing them to stand down.I didn't give the same instruction, staring at him warily as he moved across the distance between us.He walked like he owned the damn place… calm, deliberate, his men behind him like a shadow swarm.His expression was carved from stone, but his eyes… those told a different story.Anger and control blazed in them, along with something sharper… curiosity.“Leaving already?” he said, his voice low and measured as he stopped a few feet away.By this time, Laura
