Damien had spent most of his life doing everything he could to earn his father’s approval.He was disciplined, hardworking, and respected within the company. Unlike his younger brother, Damien understood the weight that came with being a Hayes.Every morning, he arrived at the office before most of the employees. He believed that if he wanted to be taken seriously, he had to be willing to work harder than everyone else.He rarely complained.He rarely took a day off.Whenever there was a problem within the company, Damien was usually one of the first people called to handle it.A difficult decision needed to be made?Damien was there.A deal was falling apart?Damien found a way to fix it.An employee needed direction?Damien handled it.Over the years, he had become deeply involved in the running of Hayes Enterprises. He understood the business almost as well as his father did, and some employees had even begun looking to him as though he were already the man in charge.Damien had al

Clair was twenty-three years old and came from a well-to-do family.Her family wasn’t wealthy, but they lived comfortably. Her parents had always been able to provide everything their children needed, and Clair had never had to worry about where her next meal would come from or whether she would have a roof over her head.She had grown up knowing the value of money without ever being obsessed with it.Then she met Caleb.Coming from one of the richest families in the city, Caleb lived a life far beyond anything Clair’s family could afford. His family had the kind of wealth that could solve almost any problem with money. They owned multiple businesses, lived in luxury, and had connections that opened doors most people didn’t even know existed.But none of that was what attracted Clair to Caleb.She believed she had fallen in love with him.To her, Caleb wasn’t just the billionaire’s son.He was the man who had made her laugh when she was having a bad day. The man who had made her feel

Over the next few days, Clair began to trust Damien more.What had started with one lunch slowly became something she hadn’t expected.Whenever she felt overwhelmed, Damien was the person she found herself turning to. Sometimes it was for something as simple as advice, and other times, she just needed someone to listen.And Damien always listened.He became a safe space for her.Someone she could talk to without feeling judged.Someone who made her feel heard.It was a feeling she had been missing in her marriage.With Caleb, she was constantly questioning herself. She wondered if she was too demanding, too emotional, or simply not enough for him. But around Damien, she never felt like she had to prove herself.She could simply be herself.Clair began noticing the little things about him too.His patience.His kindness.The way he remembered things she casually mentioned.The way he always seemed to know when something was wrong, even when she insisted she was fine.Once, she had ment

“You need to stay away from Clair.”Damien slowly lifted his eyes from the documents on his desk.For a moment, he said nothing.Then he gave a short, humorless laugh.“Your wife?”Caleb’s jaw tightened. “Yes. My wife.”“Interesting,” Damien said, leaning back in his chair. “Because she doesn’t seem to have a problem coming to me.”“She’s my wife, Damien. Whatever reason she has for coming to you, I want it to stop.”Damien studied him for a moment, completely unfazed by the anger in his brother’s voice.“And what exactly do you think is happening?”“You know exactly what I’m talking about.”“No, Caleb. I really don’t.”Caleb stepped closer to the desk.“I’ve seen the way you’ve been around her.”“And?”“And you need to back off.”Damien let out another quiet laugh.“You’re giving me orders now?”“I’m warning you.”Damien’s expression hardened slightly.“Then maybe you should start by warning your wife. She seems to enjoy my company.”Caleb’s fists clenched.“Don’t push me.”“Or what?
