All Chapters of MY SAVING DOOM : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

And just like that...I drifted.One day quietly blended into another until I completely lost count of how many mornings had come and gone. Time no longer had meaning. Morning, afternoon, evening, they all felt exactly the same.Empty.Most days I barely left the room. I simply existed between sleep and silence, only waking long enough to gulp down whatever strange mixture Evelyn faithfully brought to me every morning and evening. I never asked what it was.I didn't care.If she handed me a glass, I drank it.If she brought food, I forced down enough to stop her from worrying before pushing the plate away.Living had become mechanical.Nothing more.The mansion remained just as beautiful as the day Damian brought me here.The flowers outside still bloomed.The fountains still flowed.The staff still carried on with their daily routines.Everything looked alive.Everything except me.Sometimes I would walk over to the bedroom window and watch Ryan and the security team patrol the compo

Everything went on peacefully for the next few days.Not the kind of peace that comes from happiness.The kind that comes after crying so much that your heart simply runs out of tears.Life slowly settled into a routine.Every morning I woke up, had breakfast with Evelyn, spent some time walking around the garden, read through a few of the files Damian had left in his study and occasionally went out for short drives with Ryan whenever the walls of the mansion started feeling too close.Little by little, I was learning how to breathe again.Not because the pain had disappeared.It hadn't.There wasn't a single morning I woke up without instinctively reaching toward Damian's side of the bed.There wasn't a single night I didn't whisper a quiet "goodnight" into the empty room before falling asleep.The grief was still there.It had simply become quieter.Evelyn never stopped looking after me.Every meal she prepared somehow reminded me that people could care for someone without expecting

I slowly lowered myself into the chair at the head of the table, the same chair Damian had occupied for years. The leather felt strangely familiar beneath my fingertips, as though it still carried traces of his presence. I placed both hands on the polished table and looked around the room once before speaking."You may continue with your presentation."No one moved.The silence that followed was so heavy that the soft hum of the air conditioner suddenly became noticeable. The presenter remained standing beside the projector, remote still clutched in his hand, while everyone else exchanged uncertain glances.I tilted my head slightly."Why did everyone suddenly become quiet? A few moments ago, I could hear voices from outside the boardroom."Still no one answered.I turned slightly toward Kelvin, who was seated a short distance behind me with a stack of files in front of him."Kelvin."He immediately rose to his feet."Yes, Ma'am.""What exactly is the agenda for today's meeting?"With

The next morning, I woke up with swollen eyes and a pounding headache. The events of the previous day felt like a distant dream, yet the heaviness in my chest reminded me they had all been real. Somehow, Evelyn had managed to get me to eat dinner after I cried myself to sleep. I still had no idea what she mixed into the drink she brings me every time I refused to eat, but whatever it was, it works like magic. Every single time.Maybe she wasn't feeding me food.Maybe she was feeding me the strength to survive another day.After taking a long shower, I dressed in a cream-colored business suit and tied my hair neatly behind my head. I stood in front of the mirror for a long moment, staring at my reflection."You can't keep crying forever," I whispered to myself."If Damian comes back today... I don't want the first thing he sees to be a woman who gave up."I picked up my handbag, took one deep breath and walked downstairs.Ryan was already waiting near the entrance as though he had been

The moment the words left my mouth, both José and Kara stared at me for a few seconds as though they couldn't quite believe what they had just heard.Then, almost simultaneously, they sprang to their feet."Nanya really?" José asked, his voice filled with excitement.I smiled and nodded."Really."That was all the confirmation they needed.The two of them took off toward the stairs so quickly that I couldn't help laughing. Their hurried footsteps echoed throughout the quiet house as they raced to their rooms, bumping into each other more than once in their excitement.Children...It didn't take them more than a few minutes before they came running back downstairs, each clutching a travel bag that was obviously packed in the most chaotic way possible.José's shirt sleeves were sticking out of the zipper while Kara struggled to drag a bag that looked almost as big as she was.I shook my head, smiling."You two certainly don't waste time.""We don't want you changing your mind," José rep
