Semua Bab Chasing Back The Woman He Destroyed: Bab 61 - Bab 70

Serena's POV"How soon are we leaving?" Sophia asked.I breathed a sigh of relief, "Now. But let's go to Damien first."We walked up to where he was and by the time Sophia and I approached him, he was standing with two other men and a woman, clearly lawyers, sharp-dressed, polished, and confident.The moment they saw me, their conversation stopped, and Damien turned around at us with that composed face of his."There you are," he said, then nodded toward the others. "Serena, allow me to introduce some of my colleagues. This is Charles, Franklin, and Lydia."They all nodded slightly, some of them offering their hands. Lydia smiled most widely."It's nice to meet you," she said. "We've heard a lot about you."I raised an eyebrow and exchanged a swift glance with Sophia before smiling and saying, "All good things, I hope?"Charles laughed. "Damien speaks highly of you."I grinned, my heart bounced a beat. He spoke of me?Damien was silent, his normal unemotional self, but I could see Sop

Alexander's POVThe courtroom had emptied out, the murmurs had faded, but the weight of what I had done still echoed in my chest like a slow, deliberate drumbeat.For the first time in my life… I went against him.Vincent.The man who raised me. Molded me. Controlled me.But not today.Today, I took a stand.I could still hear the judge’s words echoing in my head. “Are you sure you want to nullify the previous testimonies?”And I had said yes.It wasn’t even about the money, never was. Twenty percent, fifty percent… Serena could have it all. What mattered was that I had looked Vincent in the face and told the truth. My truth. Our truth.Serena deserved better. And maybe, just maybe, I was starting to deserve her too.The way she looked at me afterward though… she didn’t say anything. Just that same unreadable expression. But I hoped, God, I hoped, she saw that for once, I wasn't acting on someone else's orders.I wasn’t trying to manipulate her or win her back with words.I acted beca

Serena's POV“It’s a long story,” I told Sophia as I sat on the couch.She raised a brow and dropped her bag dramatically on the couch. “Lucky for you, we’ve got all the time in the world.”I deliberated. One side of me wanted to tell her everything. The other side, the part that was still reeling at how fast things had moved, wanted to keep it close for just a minute longer.But this was Sophia, loyal, fierce, and the closest person to family I had currently.So I took a breath and said it. "I'm the billionaire's daughter."She blinked. "What?"“My… mother. She died recently. But she left everything to me. Her lawyer had been looking for me for months, but I was off their radar. Damien was the one who decided two and two made four and brought them to me."Her mouth hung open, eyes wide with amazement. "Are you kidding me right now?I nodded slowly. "That's why Damien made me go visit that old lawyer. That was my legacy. But we had to keep it secret until the case with Alexander and V

Alexander's POVThe tires scrunched on the pavement as my vehicle came to a stop before Damien's office complex.I clenched my hands around the steering wheel tighter than necessary, palms damp with sweat. It had been many years since I went into a lawyer's office without feeling a sense of power or control, but here I was not the man in control, I was the man seeking mercy.The driver took her around and opened the door. I stepped out, smoothed my jacket, and entered the lobby.The secretary looked up from her desk and immediately stood. “Mr. Calloway, you’re expected. This way, please.” She ushered me toward Damien’s door and gave a light knock before pushing it open. “You can go in.”Damien sat behind his desk, his posture relaxed but his eyes sharp, studying me like I was a page from a confidential report. "Thanks for seeing me," I stated, stepping in.He did not answer, only motioned to the seat."I know you're not precisely thrilled to have me here," I began, clearing my throat.

Serena's POVHe looked sheepish, hands stuffed into his pockets, avoiding my gaze like a schoolboy caught skipping class.“Hey,” he said softly.Damien stood calmly beside him, unreadable as always, but I noticed the way his eyes flicked from me to Kyle in the background.“Can we come in?” Damien asked.I stepped aside slowly, still stunned. “Sure…”They walked in, and I felt the entire energy in the room shift.Kyle stood up when he saw Alexander, eyes narrowing slightly.“Well, this is a surprise,” he said smoothly, walking over with the poise of a man who never got rattled. “Didn’t expect a Calloway tonight.”Alexander offered a polite nod. “I wasn’t planning to be here either. But I asked Damien for a favor.”Kyle’s gaze flicked to Damien. “You’re in a generous mood.”Damien didn’t answer. He turned to me instead. “He just wanted a few minutes. I thought it was worth letting you decide.”I looked at Alexander again. He looked different. Humbled. Less sharp around the edges.Sophia
