Damon stared at Lyra's name on his phone.For several seconds, he did nothing.After everything that had happened, he wasn't sure she would even want to hear from him.But things were different now.He had proof.And Lyra deserved to know.Damon pressed the call button.The phone rang twice.“Hello, Mister Blackwood.”His chest tightened.Mister Blackwood.Not Damon.The distance in her voice reminded him exactly how much damage he'd caused.“Hi, Lyra.”“Is there a reason you're calling?”Her voice was polite and professional, almost as if they were strangers.Damon let out a slow breath.“I wanted to check on you.”Lyra remained silent.“And I owe you an apology.”“I've already heard your apology.”“I know.”Damon lowered his eyes.“And I know saying it again won't fix anything.”That caught her attention.“I was wrong to doubt you,” he continued. “You told me the truth, and I chose suspicion over trusting you.”Lyra's voice softened.“You told me you trusted me, Damon. Then the mome

Friday evening, Damon arrived at the restaurant earlier than necessary.Not because he was excited.Because tonight, control was everything.This wasn't a romantic date.It was part of a strategy.His mother believed he was giving Ruth a chance.Ruth probably believed the same thing.Damon wanted her to keep believing it.He chose a table with a clear view of the entrance and ordered water.Nothing else.He needed to stay alert.As he reached for his phone to call Ethan, it rang.Ethan.Damon smiled as he answered.“Why do you always call the moment I start thinking about you?”Ethan laughed.“Maybe you're secretly in love with me.”Damon rolled his eyes.“Last time I checked, you weren't Lyra.”Ethan laughed harder.“Still, I seem to live in your head. So what's the plan tonight?”“I'm already at the restaurant.”“Waiting for your date?”“Unfortunately.”“No wonder you sound miserable.”Damon laughed quietly.“What are you doing tomorrow? Want to play golf?”“Sure. But tonight we sho

Lyra had been staring at the same paragraph for several minutes.The office was almost empty.Most of the lights were already off, and everyone else seemed ready for the weekend. She should have gone home an hour ago.Instead, she was still sitting behind her desk, pretending to work.Soon, she would officially become editor-in-chief of Empowered Magazine.It was the position she'd worked so hard to earn.She should have been excited.But tonight, her thoughts kept returning to one person.Damon.He was having dinner with Ruth.Lyra hated that she cared enough to wonder how it was going.Was Ruth charming him?Was Damon pretending to enjoy himself?Or had Ruth somehow managed to convince him that she was exactly the woman his family believed her to be?Lyra pressed her lips together.Enough.Damon could make his own decisions.And whatever happened between him and Ruth had nothing to do with her.At least, that was what Lyra kept telling herself.Her phone buzzed.She grabbed it too q

Lyra had survived betrayal.Yet somehow, telling the truth still scared her more.She returned to Rayna after leaving Damon behind.The conversation she'd expected with him hadn't really happened.Damon had told her the private investigator had found something connected to six years ago, but the club was too crowded and loud to discuss it properly.He'd promised to show her everything later.Now Lyra wished he hadn't said anything at all.Instead of enjoying the night, she had another question hanging over her.What had the investigator found?Rayna waited until Lyra sat down before leaning closer.“So…”Lyra reached for her martini.“No.”Rayna blinked innocently.“I haven't asked anything yet.”“You're about to.”Rayna smiled.“Fine. Who is Damon?”Lyra stared at her drink.“And what's going on between you two?”There it was.“Like I said, he's someone I'm interviewing.”Rayna gave her a look.“Lyra, I saw the way you reacted when he came near you. And I definitely saw the way he lo

Lyra had spent most of the night trying not to look at Damon.She had already failed several times.Music filled the club, lights flashed across the room, and laughter rose above the crowd.A few tables away, Damon sat with Ethan.Lyra didn't know what they were talking about.And she told herself she didn't care.She didn't care how Damon's date with Ruth had gone.She didn't care why he'd left early.And she definitely didn't care that he was sitting only a few tables away.Unfortunately, her eyes kept giving her away.Once.Twice.Then a third time.“Come on, Lyra.”Rayna grabbed her hand.“Let's dance. I haven't seen you dance in forever.”Lyra laughed and pulled her hand back.“No.”“Why not?”“It's been too long. I don't think I have it in me anymore.”She smiled.“I'm only here to keep you company while you look for a boyfriend. You go. I'll cheer for you.”Rayna pouted.“It's not fun alone.”She took another drink and looked around the club.“Maybe we should just go home. Clea
