Chapter One hundred and thirty one

LEAH'S POV I don't know what forbidden romance will cost me but I guess one of them is irrational behavior.I just told a man that I'm sure as hell is attracted to me to stare at me. Now all he does is stare at my face politely. And a few glances at my boobs.Men!We walked out of the elevator to an open space. My jaw almost drops. This place is heaven — and heaven is an understatement.How much money was put into this place? And this is just for Emily?He loves his daughter so much. I can only wish Victor had come close. But that's impossible.I was carried away by the scenery but was jolted back by Ethan's light squeeze on my hand.The rooftop is exactly what Emily described that morning with her papers spread across the living room floor. Fairy lights everywhere — not sparse, not subtle, everywhere — strung between posts and draped along the railings until the whole space glows warm and gold. Round tables dressed in white. Fresh flowers in the center of each one, pale pink and ivo

Chapter One hundred and thirty two

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

Chapter One hundred and thirty three

DAMIEN POVThe car swerved violently across the highway. Tossing me across the seat hitting my back on the car door.Marcus cursed under his breath, one hand gripping the steering wheel while the other pressed against his bleeding arm. The tires screeched against the asphalt as another bullet shattered the rear windshield.Glass exploded across my suit. But it didn't pierce.“Get down!” Marcus barked. I pulled open the compartment below the seat. It has been there for ages. It finally got useful today. I pulled the case out hurriedly assembling the rifle as the car hit its final momentum and stopped. The engine is still running.The black SUV behind us accelerated, headlights blinding through the broken glass. Two bikes appeared from the opposite lane, engines roaring like predators closing in for a kill. These are professionally organized. Not some random thugs preying on rich people. This one's here for a mission. To kill.I narrowed my eyes. Deluca never used bikes. Neither does m

Chapter One hundred and thirty four

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

Chapter One hundred and thirty five

DAMIEN POV“Instead of pushing her away, you should simply pull her closer and protect her and my granddaughter”She leaned back on the chair.“And for what it's worth, expose your relationship with her to Emily….” She paused “Emily should be able to protect her… after all, she is an advanced shooter and combat fighter” What!“What?” I snapped, What the hell is she talking about?“Emily isn't learning combat, she doesn't even like guns, I keep all of my weapons from her ”She huffed helplessly.“What is wrong with you, you used to be the eagle eye, sharp-witted and dangerous, now you are just… something I don't know”“Emily started learning self-defense when she was twelve and she isn't going to college because she told you she wants a gap year or wants to build rapport with the college environment…. But because she is training” she said calmly, like she wasn't dropping the biggest news I have ever heard.“Whether you like it or not she is not like Rose, she is a great actor to keep

Chapter One hundred and thirty six

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

Chapter One hundred and thirty seven

DAMIEN POV “Where are we going now, boss?” Marcus asked, as soon as he entered the passenger seat. I had to insist that he doesn't drive so his hands can heal better.“Whitehead street… I need to say hello to the new sheriff”The driver nods and starts the engine. I pulled out the folder I was sent this morning. It was named Brief.Marcus said there was nothing much about the new findings but even the tiniest details go a long way.I started to flip through the pages. The first few were routine. Movement logs and timestamps. Nothing out of the blue, it was mostly around Fountainbleau.Then it got to Isabella's section. Marcus flagged it in a small red tab. It usually represents important or unique findings.I paused, paying attention to what was written in it.A call log was pulled from the tower nearest to her apartment. It is a single outgoing call. It was traced to a burner phone. That's definitely strange. She is definitely hiding something related to that call.The call was outg

Chapter One hundred and thirty eight

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
