DAMIEN POV I had to let go. I don't know why I did it. I can't keep holding on when her life is on the line.The hurt in her eyes and her voice when I got out of the car. The hurt in her voice when she talks to Emily and that stupid pest.I might keep her at arm's length for now but that doesn't mean I'm letting go. I can never let go.She is mine and I will claim what is mine as soon as the chaos is over.I am not usually the man to hurt the one he loves to save the world. I will burn the world down for her. But I don't have the courage anymore.Emily's mother's death took a lot from me than I can imagine.And one of the ghosts of that time just rose again and I can feel his watchful eyes even in my sleep.The campaign was a success. It would have been better if I were engaged to the love of my life, but I have to take it a step at a time.Isabella’s strategy seems really efficient. I have gotten several deals from across the country just because I announced our engagement.She will

DAMIEN POVThe car moved smoothly now, as if the chaos from minutes ago had been peeled from the world and replaced with silence.Nina sat opposite me, as if she owned the space between us. One leg crossed over the other, cane resting lightly against her knee. Her red lips were still set in that permanent expression of mockery—like she knew every secret in the room and was bored with them all.Well, that was the bitter truth. She knows me better than I know myself.Outside, the rain kept falling. And the car is moving at the utmost speed. I was staring continuously at her. Trying to figure out how she could pull over after one call from me. I really underestimate her instincts. I look away briefly. Trying to make her feel more comfortable. Although it was obvious I was staring, in reality, I knew she was examining me more than I was examining her.“You’re staring,” she said without looking up.“You just ambushed me on a highway,” I replied. “Forgive me if I’m trying to understand why

DAMIEN POV“Baby” My beautiful wife called, adjusting four-year-old Emily’s uniform.“Are you sure you will come back earlier this time?” She asked, her pretty face scrunched up, with worries etched on her forehead.I pulled her closer, kissing her forehead, exactly where the wrinkles were.“Stop frowning, it doesn't look good on you” I smiled, my hands sliding down to her waist. Gripping her tight.She swatted my hands away, feeling my manhood reaction against her stomach.“I am not doing anything” she murmured, stepping back. “I need to get Emily to school as soon as possible” I pouted, “ I know…. You don't care about me, you only care about your daughter” I feigned annoyance, turning away from her dramatically.She laughed, that sweet melodious laughter that made my heart skip a beat every single time.“You can say that all you want, I don't need to remind you that we went for hours at midnight” she picked up Emily's bag.Emily quietly stared up at me, with those big doe eyes. Her

LEAH'S POV“Soph should be done by now” I cut in. Stopping Miss Isabella from twisting the story just because she is talking to Emily.Some people are just evil. And she is one of them. I have no idea what I could have done to her in my past life that she seems to keep antagonizing me.And everything related to me.Emily still doesn't get it. She kept asking why I didn't like her. Aside from the fact that she is the symbol of Damien's choice, I can't ignore the evidence that clearly states that she doesn't like me one bit.On several occasions she has called me secretly, flaunting her ring to my face. Emily keeps shutting me out saying I'm overreacting.Or I should bear with her that she is “my soon-to-be stepmom you have to be nice”I rolled my eyes at her horrible expression.Emily smiles awkwardly, jumping down the ladder. She almost lost her balance and her “soon-to-be stepmom” stood there looking.“Careful..” I murmured breathlessly.“Your birthday celebration is in a few days so

LEAH'S POV What on earth am I watching?It's giving Korean meet cute. Like how did this happen under my nose? Jeremy must know how to tame a bull to be able to win Emily's affection.I watched with amusement as my best friend smiled sheepishly at the guy who wouldn't stop kissing her hands. Like wow. Get a room.Her usually bubbly voice turned timid and her face and ears were red.I definitely need this on camera. This is a very beautiful video to tease her soon enough.“Hmmm..hmm” I cleared my throat.“We will be in the spa room, take your time” I waved, dragging Sophie along.We rushed towards the door of the female body care section. That is where the full body massage and facials and all other stuff will take place. The moment we stepped into the spa section, the atmosphere completely changed.The air smelled like vanilla and eucalyptus, soft instrumental music floating quietly through the room. Everything was cream, gold, and white. Not in a million years will I think that colo
