CHAPTER 113: GIVING A FORMAL STATEMENT DAMIEN:The car was dead silent as we headed home, except for the hum of the engine. Kim kept stealing worried glances at me while I had the phone pressed to my ear.“Officer Harris,” I said the moment he picked up. “It’s Damien Carter. We just got ambushed.”There was a pause on his end, before he respondedt, his voice sharp and alert. “Where are you right now, Mr. Carter?”“In my car. My men are driving us back to the estate. But listen carefully, I had to act in self-defense. Two men tried to drag my wife into a car. I neutralized them. They’re alive, but wounded.”“Neutralized,” Harris repeated, almost like he was making sure he heard me right.“I shot them in their arms and legs,” I clarified flatly. “Close-range. They’ll live.”There was a faint shuffle of papers through the phone before Harris spoke again. “I see. Well, Mr. Carter, considering shots were fired, I’ll need you to come down to the station and give a formal statement. It’s o

CHAPTER 115: THE PEACE OFFERING KIMBERLY:I woke up to the sound of drawers shutting and soft footsteps moving around the room. I rubbed my eyes, squinting against the light coming through the curtains. My hand reached for Damien’s side of the bed, but it was already cold.Sitting up, I found him fully dressed. He wore dark gray suit, crisp white shirt, and his tie was perfectly knotted. He looked like he was about to step out the door.I frowned, obviously surprised. “You didn’t wake me?”He turned instantly, flashing that smile that always made my chest soften, but this time I didn’t melt. “Good morning, sleepyhead.”“Good morning?” I muttered, folding my arms. “Is that all you’ve got to say? You didn’t think maybe I’d want to get ready with you? Like we always do?”He came over without missing a beat, lowering himself onto the bed next to me. His lips brushed mine in a quick kiss, then he slipped his hand over mine, caressing gently.“Baby,” he said in that calm tone he used when

CHAPTER 175: YOU HAD MY DAD ARRESTED?KIMBERLY:I was still half-asleep when the sound of someone knocking on our front door woke me from sleep.At first, I thought maybe it was a delivery, but then I heard a maid’s voice from the hallway.“Ma’am,” she said softly when I opened the door. “Your mom and sister are waiting downstairs.”That woke me completely. I sat there, blinking in confusion. My mom and Tess? At this hour? They never came here this early. Actually, my mom hadn’t stepped foot here since after Damien and I signed our marriage license. My chest tightened. Something wasn’t right.I reached over and tapped Damien on the arm. He was still stretched out, sleeping peacefully.“Baby,” I whispered, nudging him again. “Wake up. My family’s here.”He opened his eyes slowly, gave me that lazy morning smile, then rubbed his face. “What family?”“My mom and Tess. They’re downstairs waiting.”His smile faded a little. He sat up, swung his legs over the bed. “Hmm. Figures.”I squinted

CHAPTER 119: DAMIEN IS ANGRY WITH KIM KIMBERLY:When Damien left for work that morning, I just sat on the edge of the bed, staring at the door he’d walked out from. My heart was pounding because even though he was right about my dad, something in me still ached. James Walker hadn’t been a good father, but he was still my father.I face-palmed myself and groaned. “Damn it, Kim… you just can’t sit here and do nothing.”I jumped to my feet and walked straight to the closet. If I was going to the station, I couldn’t just dress up like I was ready for a Carter photoshoot. I pulled on a pair of jeans, a black hoodie sweatshirt, sneakers, then tucked my hair into a ponytail. I grabbed a face cap and sunglasses, pulling them low. Low-key was the plan.As I stepped out of the room, I heard laughter from the porch. Faith and Barbra sat there like two gossiping hens, sipping tea. Barbra threw me a quick glance but didn’t say a word. I ignored them both. I wasn’t about to let their mess distract

CHAPTER 121: WEDDING DAY PREPARATION KIMBERLY:My wedding day is finally here. I woke up in a hotel suite with sunlight pouring in through the huge curtains, and my stomach was already flipping. My heart was beating so fast I thought it was gonna jump out of my chest. I sat up on the bed, blinked a couple times, and whispered to myself, This is it. Today I’m getting properly wedded to the man I have fallen in love with.Some of my bridesmaids were in the next room, giggling and making noise like high school girls at a sleepover, but for a moment I just sat there, hugging my knees. I was excited, yeah, but I was also nervous as hell.My phone buzzed on the nightstand. I glanced at the screen. Damien was calling.I snatched it up very quickly. “Hey,” I said, my voice low, like I didn’t want anyone else to hear.“Good morning, Mrs. Carter,” his deep voice came through, calm and warm, and the softness of his voice made my tense nerves melt.I smiled, biting my lip. “You sound way too r
