A FEW days after Damian visited Dollie on the secluded island, he took her to one of the Ferremento family’s hidden safehouses, which he requested from Veron. Damian even ensured that Carson didn’t know about the safehouse or else, every effort he made would go in vain.Damian also told Veron about his plan to take Dollie to custody a long time ago, yet Veron has hesitated until now. That is why he called Damian to his office to talk about it. Leo was also in the office, but he remained silent listening to the father and son’s conversation“Taking someone from an influential family isn’t as easy as it seems, son,” said Veron as he sat in front of Damian. “The distance between our wealth ranking may be far, but it doesn’t mean we should act without calculating the risks.”Damian sighed. “I don’t know what to do, Father, but I can’t leave Dollie there just like that. She is too young to experience horrible things like that.”“I understand what you are feeling, and if you were in that po

“WHAT?!” Damian asked, his tone being loud upon hearing Dollie’s statement. Some people started looking at him, but he was too nervous to care. “Where are you? And who is chasing you?”“I’m currently hiding in the abandoned construction area near the Cozy Corner. You know this one since this is where you stay whenever you fetch Ava after hanging out with her friends before,” Dollie said in a whisper this time. “I need to tell you something, but I can’t tell it on the phone. I can’t speak that much, so I will text it to you. Please, hurry…”“Alright,” Damian affirmed. He placed the flower bouquet and the gift box on the empty table and immediately went outside Medivien University. “Stay there and open your GPS tracker. It will be easier for me to find you.”“Okay…” answered Dollie, and ended the call to prevent creating further noise. She opened her GPS tracker afterward, and it reflected onto Damian’s phone.Damian stopped at the Medivien University’s gate. He was about to call Leo bu

DAMIAN MOMENTARILY stopped in his tracks upon hearing the voice. It was overwhelmingly dark and low, but somehow, it felt strange and familiar. He wondered why.“Is that a new knife?” Damian suddenly asked, noticing that the man reached for something in his pocket, making him smirk mockingly. “Playing dirty, aren’t we? And I thought you would kill me using both of your hands?”“Of course. That is a promise and I will make sure to fulfill it once the right time comes,” the man answered as his smirk widened. “But I realized something grand just now. You aren’t just here by coincidence. You are the perfect person to make my plan succeed.”Damian’s brows furrowed as he heard the man’s last sentence. Aside from being confused about what he had said, Damian also noticed how the man’s voice went different upon speaking those words.‘It was his true voice,’ Damian thought, and a few seconds later, he realized something. ‘Could he be—’Damian wasn’t able to finish his sentence when suddenly,

“WHAT IS happening, Leo? How did Damian end up in that place?” Veron asked, his tone slightly frustrated as he saw how everyone mocked his son. “He was supposed to be at the Medivien University for graduation, but is he being arrested by the police?”“My apologies, Master. I wasn’t able to monitor him further. I didn’t know that he went to another place after I accompanied him at the Medivien University,” said Leo in an apologetic tone while typing something on his phone. “I’m asking some of our people from the criminal cases department about the situation.”“Don’t tell them that Damian is my son,” commanded Veron in an authoritative tone. “It could put us at a disadvantage. We don’t know what really happened,” he added. “Ask them if I can visit Damian there in secret. But now, I will visit him as his employer, and no one will be suspicious about it.”Leo obliged. He typed the question, and a few seconds later, he received a reply. “They told me that you can visit Damian, Master, but

“ON TOP of it, the police suspect that you are intoxicated with drugs,” Brenda said, her tone dark and intimidating.Damian’s jaw almost fell on the floor upon hearing those words. “What? Drugs?”“Drugs are one of the possible reasons why you lay unconscious on the ground until the police arrived,” explained Brenda. “It may also be the reason for some of your hallucinations, too. You told us that you were the one who called the police, but you didn’t. You have an altered sense of reality.”“No…” Damian’s brows furrowed as he shook his head. “The true killer injected it into me. He said that it could be a poison depending on the amount of liquid injected into a person’s body. It was enough to knock me off.”‘And to lose some of my memories,’ added Damian at the back of his mind, remembering the killer’s words. ‘The killer said that I won’t be able to remember some parts of what happened, but that wasn’t the case. I remember everything.’“There is no such kind of drug, Mr. Smith, which
