Damian's POV"It’s nothing." The words burst out before he could stop them.Better to leave it that way, Damian told himself, his eyes dropping to the floor.Kaira stayed quiet, her face was still puzzled."Later," he added in a low voice before he turned to leave, but her voice caught him."Damian. Is it okay if I call you that...? Damian?" Her tone was careful, almost intense.His gaze lifted to meet hers. "Sure. You can."A small smile softened her lips. "Thank you. I wasn’t sure how to address you.""Well, now you know," he said quickly."Is that all?""No."He arched a brow. "Then…?""It’s… It’s about the contract," she said, hesitantly.As soon as she said contract, Damian felt his heart jolt. He kept his face still, wearing the hard mask he always wore.The hidden clause he’d mentioned in the papers flashed through his mind."Yes. What about it?" he asked."I… uh… the soft copy. My copy of the signed contract," she said."Yes?""Like… I haven’t seen it. I won’t be able to...""

"Marcus Silvian," Damian whispered as realization dawned on him.How is he here? What’s a bar owner doing here...? Does he think Glass House is worth it? Enough for him to find his way to our world? Damian shook his head and clicked his tongue, his eyes locked on the scene, waiting to see what trouble Marcus brought with him."You told me I could come. I did everything you asked, and now I’m being thrown out?" Marcus’s voice cut through the air, sharp with anger. Two guards gripped his arms, holding him back as he fought against them."Quiet," Jim said in a flat, hard voice, his face tightening with disgust.Marcus breathed hard, his chest rising and falling fast. Even from where Damian sat, he could sense Marcus’s fear. His body was tense and his face caught between fear and anger."Sir." Jim stepped up to Justin’s table and bowed. He flicked a glance at Damian and gave a quick nod of respect."You are here too, sir," he said. Damian answered with a short nod.Jim turned back to J

Kaira's POVI knew it was supposed to be fake, but my heart stupidly and uncontrollably...I drew a long breath and let it out slowly, trying to steady my racing heart. I had to stay calm. Come on, Kaira, handle this like a pro.My eyes narrowed as I thought.Why the hell did he pull away just when I was starting to enjoy it? I hadn’t even kissed back yet. I would have if he had waited a little longer, but...I shot him a sharp look, irritation tightening my face as his attention drifted to someone else.But Damian didn’t care. He didn’t even look at me or give any sign. Did it mean nothing to him?My hand went to my lips without thinking, my finger brushing over them as I got lost in thought."Stop them!" The voice sounded distant.Soon I shook my head, trying to clear the thoughts crawling in my mind, for now."They are probably all watching me," I said in a whisper, raising my head slightly.To my surprise, they were all looking somewhere else. Great, I'm not that important. I l

Kaira stood in the doorway with her arms spread wide.Damian threw one last hard look at the others, then walked toward her."Why?" he asked through clenched teeth."Because… I need to talk to you." Her voice shook, her heart beating fast, but she tried to keep it steady even as fear rose in her chest.Damian’s face darkened as he thought. What is she doing? Why stop me? And who let her in?He frowned, his eyes fixed on her.Kaira tilted her head slightly toward Emily and Lizzy."They are watching," she whispered.Come on Damian, I wouldn't want my fiancé to look like the villain. I have to calm that attitude of his.Kaira said to herself.Damian shot a glance toward Emily and Lizzy. Their eyes were fixed on them, and so were the guards, even as they stood at attention.He turned back to Kaira, and she let out an awkward, small laugh.She's right, they are all watching. I need to keep my calm and continue acting…"Is it urgent... darling?" Damian asked, letting out a tight smile.At l

Everyone inside startled at Damian's snap. The guards flinched, and Emily and Lizzy’s hearts dropped, rising and falling unevenly.The room went silent except for their ragged breathing and pounding hearts, and the air grew suffocating.Damian’s nostrils flared, his face tightening with irritation.He turned toward the guards soon after asking Emily that last question that had startled them all."Leave us," he ordered."Yes, sir," the guards replied, bowing in respect.Just as they were about to leave, Damian stopped them."Wait," he said.The guards paused and stepped closer, bowing again."Release her," Damian commanded, his gaze fixed on Lizzy."Okay, sir," one of the guards answered with another bow, then moved to untie Lizzy.Emily shut her eyes and let out a long breath of relief."Thank you," she whispered as she opened them.But Damian didn’t move, his face remained hard as he stared at her.If you think you can get away with this..."Please save her!" Lizzy’s voice cut throug
