Chapter 110: The Promise Between UsThe following Saturday morning, Angela woke to the sound of her phone vibrating on the bedside table.She reached for it with sleepy eyes.A single message lit up her screen.Good morning, beautiful.Don't make any plans today. I have something important to ask you.— DamianAngela smiled before typing back.Should I be worried?His reply came almost instantly.Only if you're planning to say no.She laughed quietly.Before she could answer again, another message arrived.Wear something comfortable. You'll need it.Angela narrowed her eyes."What are you planning, Mr. Carter?"---Downstairs, Olivia was already enjoying breakfast.The moment she saw Angela smiling at her phone, she placed her fork down dramatically."That's it.""What?""I officially miss the old Angela."Angela looked confused."The one who checked emails during breakfast.""The one who reminded me to eat vegetables.""The one who never smiled at her phone."Angela laughed."I'm sti

Chapter 112: Home Is Wherever You AreThe drive back to the Hale mansion was quieter than usual.Not because they had run out of things to say.But because they were both replaying the day in their minds.Angela looked down at their intertwined fingers resting on the center console.A few months ago...She would've pulled her hand away the moment someone walked past the car.Now...She wanted to hold on a little longer.Damian noticed her staring."What are you thinking about?"She smiled softly."I was wondering when holding your hand became my favorite habit."He chuckled."I was wondering the same thing."She looked out the window."You know...""I used to hate going home."Damian's smile faded.She continued before he could speak."Home never felt safe.""I always worried about what mood Ethan would be in.""If dinner wasn't perfect...""There would be an argument.""If I came home late from work...""There would be accusations.""I stopped looking forward to evenings."Damian's g

Chapter 114: Welcome HomeAngela stood in the kitchen wearing a light blue apron.She looked down at the cookbook lying open on the counter.Then at the vegetables she had chopped.Then back at the cookbook."This looked much easier in the pictures."Olivia leaned against the doorway, trying not to laugh."Need help?"Angela shook her head."No.""I promised Damian I'd cook for him.""And I intend to keep that promise."Olivia walked over and looked inside the pot."Well...""It smells good."Angela smiled proudly."See?"Olivia tasted a spoonful of the sauce.Her eyebrows shot up."Oh."Angela immediately became nervous."Oh... good?"Olivia smiled."Actually...""It's really good."Angela let out a relieved sigh."Thank goodness.""I was afraid I'd poison my own boyfriend."Olivia burst into laughter."I don't think he'd even complain.""He'd probably ask for a second serving."---Meanwhile...Damian's flight landed just after four in the afternoon.The moment he switched on his ph

Chapter 116: You Can't Have Her BackDamian didn't leave Angela's side for the rest of the afternoon.He drove her home, walked her to the front door, and only relaxed when he saw her smile again."You don't have to keep checking on me."Angela said gently."I know."Damian replied."But I want to."She reached up and straightened the collar of his shirt."You worry too much.""I love too much."He corrected.Angela smiled before kissing his cheek."I'm okay.""I promise."He searched her eyes."You're not pretending?"She shook her head."No.""I realized something today.""What?""When Ethan stood in front of me...""I didn't feel love.""I didn't even feel hate.""I just..."She paused."...felt nothing."Damian smiled softly."That's how you know you've truly moved on."---Across the city...Ethan sat alone in his apartment.The place was silent.Cold.Empty.He walked to a cabinet and picked up a framed wedding photograph.Angela was smiling.She looked so young.So hopeful.He

Chapter 118: The First Threat The next morning began peacefully. Sunlight poured through the windows of the Hale mansion. Angela hummed softly as she prepared breakfast with Eleanor. "You seem happier every day." Eleanor said while slicing fresh fruit. Angela smiled. "I am." Eleanor reached over and gently squeezed her hand. "You deserve every bit of it." Before Angela could answer, her phone buzzed. An unknown number. She frowned. "I don't recognize it." "Probably spam." Eleanor replied. Angela agreed and ignored the call. A few seconds later... Her phone buzzed again. Then again. Three missed calls. All from the same unknown number. A strange feeling settled in her stomach. --- At Carter Group Headquarters... Damian had barely started his morning meeting when his assistant hurried inside. "Mr. Carter." "What is it?" "We've received an anonymous email." Damian frowned. "About what?" The assistant handed him a tablet. On the screen was a single sentence
