All Chapters of Chasing Back The Woman He Destroyed: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

Serena's POVKyle leaned forward in a polite smile. "Can I get you two anything? Drink something?"Sophia and I shook our heads. "We're good," I said."Nothing, really," Sophia said. "We just ate a little while ago."But Kyle wouldn't have it."Come on. You cannot come to my house and leave empty-handed. That is not proper," he insisted, even as he was reaching for his phone.Earlier than we could protest again, he had already pressed a button on the console beside him. "Sandra," he said into the small intercom, "bring in the chilled bottle of non-alcoholic wine from the mini fridge. And two glasses."He turned to us again, hands out in a no-arguments sort of motion. "It's not alcoholic, I promise. I'm not trying to get anyone drunk. I know the real party is tomorrow."Sophia laughed. "All right, you win.""I'm being a good host," he said offhandedly.The maid appeared a few seconds later with a chilled bottle and two elegant glasses. She put them on the table, poured the wine, and di

Pristine's POVI leaned back into the garden chair, sipping slowly from the wine glass in my hand. It was late in the afternoon.My friend, Nadia, sat across from me, her lips curved in a sly smile, the red of her lipstick almost as sharp as her gaze.We were both in black, satin gowns. It was our thing when we didn’t want to draw attention but still planned to dominate every space we entered. Even this secluded one.“I invested in Kyle’s company,” I said, twirling my glass lazily, “hoping it would spark some kind of reaction from Serena.”Nadia’s brows lifted with amused interest. “You think it worked?”“Not yet,” I admitted. “But it will. Eventually.”Nadia chuckled, brushing her dark curls behind one ear. “I’m confused, Pristine. I thought it was Damien you were after. Now Kyle’s in the mix? Is Serena involved with both of them or what? You think Alexander’s betrayal has turned her into a player?”I narrowed my eyes slightly at the mention of Alexander. “I don’t know what exactly S

Pristine's POVI leaned my head toward him. "So, who are you picking up from the airport?" His gaze remained forward. "No one important."I raised an eyebrow. "If it's not important, then why the confidentiality?""It's private."“I don't like private," I said, drawing out my tone. "Come on, Damien. Come on. You can't say you're going to the airport and not get questioned."He took a deep breath. "I'm picking up my brother."I raised my brows. "Your brother? When do you have a brother? I've never heard you say anything about him.""That's because I don't talk about family.""Why not? Bad blood?" I said, leaning slightly closer."No," he replied firmly. "We're fine. I just don't want to share personal information like that."I leaned back. "Hmm. Okay. But now I'm interested in him.""You'll see," Damien replied with a small smile twitching on his lips.I decided to play a little game with him, to discover where this will lead me.I stroked my chin. "So, I have a question to ask you."

Serena's POVThe knock came again, it was louder this time. Sophia set her mug down while I walked toward the door, but one of the maids beat me to it and opened the door, and Damien stepped in.I smiled at first, until I noticed the woman standing right beside him and my smile faded instantly as if I had just seen the devil incarnated in the body of a woman.It was Pristine.I glanced at her a minute before turning to Damien. "Please tell me she isn't the person you went to fetch from the airport."I couldn't hide my despair.Just as Damien was about to speak, Pristine stepped forward with her honeyed voice. "Well, well, Serena. Never thought I would catch you here at Damien's. He didn't say you were around."I ignored her completely and looked back at Damien. “What is she doing here?”He lifted his hands slightly. “I have nothing to do with it.”“What do you mean you have nothing to do with it?” My voice was sharper now. “Why did you invite her here?”“I didn’t invite her,” Damien s

Serena's POVThe blonde didn’t wait for Damien to invite her in. She stepped past him like she owned the place.Damien didn’t move to stop her, but I caught the faint flicker of irritation in his eyes. His shoulders stiffened, and the vein in his temple twitched."Where do I sit?" she asked Sam, not even glancing at Damien's direction.Sam pointed to the other side of the living room, grinning as if this was some inside joke that only he knew about.I stayed rooted to the spot, my gaze shifting back and forth between Damien and the woman.It wasn't just that she was pretty, It was the air of confidence she radiated, as though she once was the center of his universe and might be again if she wanted.The thought made my stomach twist in ways I didn't care to recognize.Sophia drew closer, her breath interrupting my line of thought. "Who is she?"I swallowed hard. "His ex-girlfriend, I think."Pristine's eyebrows shot up, and she glanced at the blonde lady. There was electricity in the a
