All Chapters of My Safest Danger : Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Skylar's POV “Hi.” I raised my hand in a small wave, my gaze flicking from the phone to his face. “I thought you would be asleep.” He brought the glass of wine to his lips and took a sip without taking his eyes off me. I scratched the back of my neck. “Is everything okay?” He remained silent. I wasn't in the mood for another argument or to deal with his silence, so I turned to leave. The clink of his wineglass against the table cut through the silence. “Where are you going?” I turned to find him on his feet, his cold gaze fixed on me. “You left the house without informing anyone where you were going, then walked back in as if nothing happened. Do you know how worried I was?” “I forgot I was supposed to.” I lowered my gaze, wishing I was already in my room. He approached me, stopping close enough that I had to tilt my head to look up at him. Before I could step back, he lifted my chin. “You would have thrown that dress away somewhere instead of walking into my house smell

Skylar's POV I woke up with a yawn, freezing the moment I saw Damien sitting on the bed. He was already dressed in a tailored two-piece suit, slipping on his loafers with his phone pressed to his ear. He lowered the phone, his gaze locking onto mine. I cleared my throat, pulling the blanket closer to my chest. “You're up for work already?” I asked, desperate to break the uncomfortable silence. “Yeah.” He reached down toward the bed, and I shrank back, gripping the duvet tighter. He glanced at my hands before returning to my face. A frown crossed his forehead as he picked up his tie from the bed. Then, with a firm tug, he ripped the duvet off my body. “You can pull that duvet all the way to your chin. It won't change the fact that I've seen every inch of you.” Heat rushed to my cheeks as I met his gaze. “That's not it. Just stop looking at me like that.” “You're w

Skylar's POV The car pulled up in front of a glass building, and I leaned toward the window, eager to get a better look.NEXORA was displayed in bold silver letters above the entrance. Several cars lined the driveway, while employees dressed in corporate attire passed through the revolving door with briefcases in hand.“The legendary Nexora,” I mumbled, unfastening my seatbelt.Robert opened the door for me with a bow. “We're here, ma'am.”I stepped out of the car, my gaze traveling up the building until I had to tilt my head back to see the top floors. Morrison Holdings had an impressive headquarters, one I had always been proud of, yet the Nexora building made mine seem considerably less grand.Even the entrance was on another level, opening into a spacious lobby that looked more like the reception area of a luxury hotel than a corporate office.Moving inside, I glanced at the reception desk, then at the long row of elevators along the far wall as employees step out. No one stopped

Damien's POV The moment Damon and I stepped out of my office, he burst into laughter, leaning against the wall. I gave him a flat look and pulled the door shut. “Are you done?” He wiped a hand over his face, struggling to catch his breath between laughs. “I can't wait to see that bastard's face when he discovers what he's actually bought.” “He hasn't bought anything yet.” I glanced at the clock and spotted Marco waiting by the railing. “Go to my office in a few hours and switch off the lamp on my desk. Don't touch anything else.” Marco straightened. “Yes, boss.” “I'm heading to Xavier's school later this afternoon, Damon, so cover for me while I'm gone.” Damon frowned, blinking in surprise. “Again? Wait… what are you going to Xavier's school for?” “Spring Arts or something. I'll compensate you for yesterday and today.” We headed down to the garage, where a guard was already waiting beside my car. Damon unlocked his own, muttering under his breath while I slid into mi

Damien's POV The mention of Jace hadn't sat well with me ever since Marco brought it to my notice. Jace had developed a habit of appearing wherever Skylar went, and approaching Xavier was a line he shouldn't have crossed.Darkness had settled over the estate by the time my car pulled into the driveway. A few calls still needed my attention, but they could wait until after the gala.The bedroom was empty when I walked in, though the sound of running water from the bathroom told me my woman was inside. I pulled off my watch, loosened my cuffs and pushed the bathroom door open.She lay in the tub, her head resting against the edge. Her eyes opened, tracking me as I unbuttoned my shirt.“You came home late,” she murmured with a tight smile.I stripped off the rest of my clothes and settled behind her, resting my legs on either side of hers. “Come closer.”She leaned against my chest, and I rested an arm around her waist, careful not to strain my shoulder.For a while, neither of us spoke
