Skylar's POV I threw my head back against the car seat, laughing. The horrified look on my aunt's face before she stormed out was priceless. At least now she had proof I wasn't some innocent little girl anymore.Damien turned toward me, one brow lifting. “Is it that funny?”I bit back another laugh, pushing my head out of the window. His hand closed around my wrist, tugging me back into the car.He narrowed his eyes at me, winding up the window. “Do you want to get yourself killed?” I pulled my wrist free, pressing my head against the glass. Damien was a man filled with secrets. There were still things about him I didn't understand, but after everything that had happened, there was one thing I couldn't deny anymore. When I was scared, I wanted Damien.His presence made the world feel less dangerous, and I hated how much I had come to depend on that feeling.But this wasn't love. I wasn't going to give him my heart or turn whatever existed between us into something permanent. I just

Skylar's POV Thinking I could catch up on everything I had missed in just twelve hours was a complete joke. Emails kept coming in, and every document I opened seemed to lead to another problem that needed my attention.I glanced at the clock on the wall and rubbed my forehead when I saw it was almost afternoon. Damien had left a few hours ago, saying he had something to deal with, and despite how much I wanted to know what had pulled him away, I had my own problem sitting right in front of me.I placed a video call to Zack. He picked up on the second ring.“Jeez. I really thought you were going to snub me forever. How are you doing?”“Alive, as you can see.” I rested my elbows on the desk. “Is there anything else I need to know or do other than what you sent to my email?”“Your aunt has been on my neck.” Zack picked up a file from the desk and flipped through it. “She's at the factory. Apparently, there's an issue with one of the production lines, and the board is already complaining

Damien's POV Matteo released his cane from her and rested it against his leg. “How could I travel miles to see you and your wife couldn't even welcome me properly?” I moved closer, my eyes going straight to Xavier. His back was turned toward me, shoulders trembling while Skylar had a bruise on her forehead. Strands of hair had fallen across her face, hiding part of her face. My gaze shifted back to Xavier, searching for any sign of a wound. There it was, a red mark on his arm. Matteo had been in the same room with them. I hadn't been here to stop him. The guards who were supposed to protect them hadn't suffered a single scratch. My hand closed over the ceramic vase on the table, pinning Matteo with an icy look. Xavier turned his face toward me, his eyes filled with tears. The sound of breaking glass, the smell of blood, the helpless rage all came rushing back. I couldn't let him see anything that reminded me of what I'd witnessed as a kid, so I lowered the vase back onto the t

Skylar's POVWe were outside the house, standing near the swimming pool. I looked around, taking in the space properly for the first time. I had been so caught up with everything that had happened since I came here that I hadn't taken the time to see what this place actually looked like.Xavier sat on the edge of the pool, swinging his legs above the water. I walked over and sat down beside him, glancing across the quiet poolside. A maid soon approached with two popsicles in her hands. She handed them to Xavier before crouching down beside him and reaching for his arm.“I'm fine.” Xavier pulled his arm away, tearing off one of the popsicles.The maid reached for his arm again, but he tucked it against his side and turned to the pool. After one more attempt, she left a band-aid beside him and crossed to a couch.I picked it up, peeled the paper away and pointed it at him. “Let me see your arm.”Xavier held out his arm without an argument. I took his wrist and fixed the band-aid over

Skylar's POVHe stepped back, peeling my hands away. “Get him out of my sight!”The guards rushed forward and grabbed Jace by the arms, pulling him to his feet. He struggled against their grip, blood running from his jaw as he stared at me. They dragged him around the corner of the house and out of sight.Damien turned toward the house with one hand pressed against his shoulder. I followed him up the stairs. He didn't even look back to check if I was keeping up.I stopped in the hallway to grab my phone and the things he'd gotten me from beside the window.The look on his face when he held Jace down was nothing like the man who had flicked my nose less than an hour earlier. All I could see was someone ready to end another person's life without a second thought.I walked into his room and paused at the doorway. Damien sat on the couch with his shirt on the floor, pulling away the bloodied bandage from his shoulder. He could be arrogant, infuriating and always trying to make decisions
