Chapter 121ISABELLAI stared at the ceiling of the living room bored out of my mind, my ankle was propped up on approximately seventeen pillows that Damon had insisted were all medically necessary and essential for a speedy recovery, and tried not to feel completely useless.This morning, I was supposed to be at the company, after a successful met gala, working alongside with James and meeting with potential clients who wanted custom pieces for upcoming events. I had handed my cards out to them, during the met gala, when they asked for a contact information, they were used to Amy but they preferred my pieces, I had promised them that I would be at work, bright and early.Instead, I was a sitting duck on the couch, my sprained ankle throbbing despite the painkillers that I had taken to get some respite, my pride was bruised almost as badly as my body from yesterday's disaster.Almost getting kidnapped had not been on my schedule."Mama, I can make it better!" Lucas announced for the

Chapter 123ISABELLADamon's expression hardened, his arm tightening around me protectively. He hadn't seen Janice yet, hadn't noticed her watching us, but his response was immediate."If you find anything unpleasant in this house, in your home, just say the word and I'll have it removed instantly," he said, his voice carrying that edge of authority that made it clear he wasn't joking. And was ready to get rid of anything that I hated. "You shouldn't have to deal with anything that makes you uncomfortable."That was when Janice decided to make her move, descending the stairs slowly acting like she was an angel descending from heaven, her expression was carefully schooled into something neutral despite the white-knuckled grip she'd had on the railing moments before.From the way her fists clenched at her sides as she approached, I knew she'd heard Damon's comment and it had hurt her.

We had to make this look like a proper visit, like I was trying to connect with my deranged mother even though she barely recognized me and was violent, and sometimes calm when not too agitated.Just in case Evelyn was watching through the security cameras or listening at the door."I saw you on television," she said, a genuine smile breaking through the sadness on her face, her cheeks smiling so wiem it looked like it hurt. It had been a long time since I saw her look this happy. "Two nights ago. At that fancy event—the Met Gala. You looked so handsome, Kyle. So incredibly handsome in that suit."My face flushed with embarrassment and pleasure, a part of me pleased that she had seen it. "You saw that?""They let us watch television here," she said, gesturing to the small TV mounted on the wall, the volume lowered but the TV v was on, displaying a channel on Animal disc

Chapter 127KYLE"Yes," I said quietly, shame flooding through me, as I repeated his words, trying to get him to see what was at risk here. "Your fiancée. Which is why you shouldn't be talking to me right now. Why we shouldn't—""Don't," he interrupted sharply, cutting through my words as I flinched back. "Don't tell me what I should or shouldn't do. I've spent three days wondering if you were okay, where you were, if something had happened to you, if you'd decided to disappear because of what happened between us, back then in the Met Gala, especially with how complicated it turned out to be, Evelyn being your family member.""Nothing happened between us," I said automatically, the lie feeling hollow even as I spoke it.Darius laughed, but there was no humor in it, he looked like he was trying to control his anger as his teeth were clenched and his fists were too as well.
