Damian personally fastened the necklaces around Rosalie's and Isabel's necks. Rosalie got the ruby one, and Isabel got the sapphire one.He sat down on the couch and watched them run into the bathroom, where they stood in front of the mirror and admired themselves for several minutes. When they came back out, grinning from ear to ear, and saw him on the couch, their smiles instantly vanished.They looked nervous as they shuffled over, turning and sitting down facing him when he pointed at the couch opposite his.Damian focused on Rosalie and smiled warmly. "Now that you're living here, you don't need to go to work anymore. Type up your resignation letters tonight; I'll handle everything else. I'll cover your benefits, and you'll each get 50,000 dollars a month."You can blow it on online shopping or send it home—that's your call. Of course, my condition is still that you don't get to use your phones for this first month. You get them back next month."Rosalie and Isabel exchanged

At 10:00 am the next day, David opened the door to Farrah's VIP ward at Crownspire Hospital. He glanced at her mother, Winona Johnson, who rose from the chair by the bed. Then he walked straight over and held out the divorce papers Damian had drafted."Ms. Sutherland, Mr. Halston Senior has already spoken with your father. Your marriage to Mr. Damian Halston will end after you give birth. These are the divorce papers Mr. Halston has already signed."Farrah's eyes widened in shock. She shook her head frantically, and her voice rose in panic. "I'm not signing! I don't agree to a divorce! Damian's just mad at me. I'll explain everything to him, and he'll forgive me!"David let out a short, cold laugh and pushed the documents a little closer. "Mr. Halston has already signed the papers, so I need your signature, too. I'm expected to deliver this to him by this afternoon. Let me remind you that your father is fully aware of this—Mr. Halston Senior has already called him."Farrah threw he

Around 3:30 pm, Eugene from the legal department knocked on Damian's office door and came in. Damian set the document he was reviewing down and looked up at Eugene, who had stopped in front of the desk."Mr. Halston, I just got back from AeroMax Tech. I spent over an hour negotiating with their HR. Both Ms. Rosalie and Isabel Lodge have signed ten-year contracts with AeroMax, and the company refused to let them resign."After some negotiation, we agreed to pay a penalty of 120,000 dollars each. Their resignations have already been processed, and Jim Rook from our HR just asked me which department you want them in."Damian cursed inwardly, then sighed and shook his head. With a sneer, he said, "Bold of them, demanding 120 grand for new hires who've only been there a few months. Do they think it's that easy to scam me out of my money?"Tell Jim that the twins are coming in as my secretary and assistant. They don't need to clock in or sit in the office. Each of them gets a fixed salar

Rosalie thought about it. "I don't think so. After Donald graduated from college, he stayed in Saltonvale and hardly ever came home. When Isabel and I got into college here in Saltonvale, he still rarely came by campus to see us."But every month, he secretly wired us 2,000 dollars for living expenses and told us not to let Mom and Dad know. During our senior-year internship, he got us into AeroMax Tech. After we graduated, we officially joined the company. Donald also told us that if anyone at work ever picked on us, we had to tell him."As she rambled on, Damian pursed his lips, not knowing what to say. His gaze slid down to her legs, which had suddenly pressed tightly together. Then he shifted his eyes back up and grinned as he looked at her."You know, when you tapped in halfway earlier, did Isabel… Do you think she's getting up to something naughty in the bathroom now?"Rosalie's cheeks burned like they'd been held over an open flame. She pressed her lips together and shook he

Damian and Isabel arrived at Metropolitan Plaza on Liberty Avenue. They spent an hour there—Damian picked out six outfits for Isabel, then bought six more sets of the same clothes for Rosalie.After that, he had her try on several sets of diamond jewelry. All told, he dropped over five million dollars, buying two of every design.When Vincent called and said he'd secured a reservation at Vine & Vault, Damian insisted that Isabel put on the new clothes and jewelry before he took her to Arcadia Atrium. Vine & Vault, known for being exclusive and having only three tables, was there.Damian smiled when he saw Vincent waiting outside the restaurant. He stopped and waited for Vincent to come over."I spent five grand to buy a table reservation. Your cousin Dennis is already in there with Calvin and Wayne. You'll see them as soon as you go in," Vincent said.Damian gave him a thumbs-up and pointed toward the restaurant across the way. "You and the bodyguards can go enjoy yourselves there
