Chapter 9: Lessons in Control DAMIEN’S POV The morning light spilled across my desk in gold fragments, but all I could think about was the girl upstairs. The image of her skin blistered by boiling water still haunted me—not because I couldn’t stomach pain, but because it wasn’t supposed to be hers.

Philip Bottenberg as Vittorio Stanzolio ~Vittorio~ Present- December 22nd, 2035 Vittorio and I are sitting on the couch together. I am showing him some of the garbage. This is better known as the original version of this book. He keeps telling me that the original version is okay. But right now I’m going to show him the evidence.

As he turned from the window, the camera caught one last still on the screen—Lily and Vandaulf kissing under a canopy of white roses. Brigs stared at it. Then, calmly, he picked up the chipped ceramic mug from his tray and hurled it across the room. It exploded into the wall.

She froze in her place and looked at him with furious eyes when he held a burning book in the air in front of her, Mira watched it falling down as ash. The rage she felt was uncontrollable. Damon smirked at her as he dropped the burnt book on the ground. Mira didn't say anything, she just stared at him furiously while throwing the broken cancel holder away and walked past him.

Mission accomplished, baby. Damien didn’t speak for a while, then he started the day’s lesson like it was just a normal day. When he asked questions, Lennon put as much subtext into his answers as he could, smirking whenever Damien clenched his jaw or flexed his fingers. “What’s the central conflict in chapter twelve?” Lennon leaned forward, making his voice as soft and husky as he could. “Wanting something you’re not supposed to have. Knowing it could ruin you. Doing it anyway.”

Chris suddenly loosened the hold he had on Daniel when he heard the familiar voice in his head. " Miss me," Samara smirked and chuckled evilly when she sensed Chris's discomfort. " What do you want?" Chris growled at Samara while Daniel was coughing, trying to gather air into his lungs. " Don't act so foolish. You know what I want," Samara sneered. " And why do you think I will give it to you?" " Would you rather let your friend die?" " Not, while I am here. I will protect Liam." " Look at your friend carefully," Daniel spoke now.
