Fear hung in the air, and every face in the room showed pure terror. Albert was on the floor, crying and screaming, his body shaking. He held his crushed dick with one hand; his other hand was already broken, snapped like a stick by Damon. Damon stood over him, his face calm but full of anger. It was like a fierce storm had struck—and Damon was the storm.Albert sobbed, his voice broken. “You’re dead… you touched the wrong guy… I work for Santiago… He runs this city! No! he runs the whole state—he’ll definitely kill you for this…”Damon chuckled—low and cruel. “Santiago?” he said. “That little man? I’ve already broken him once. He’s nothing.”Silence filled the room. Albert stared at Damon in shock. Santiago, the man who scared everyone, was nothing to Damon? His face turned pale. His fear turned to pure terror.“You’re lying,” Albert said weakly. “Nobody messes with Santiago and lives…”Damon leaned down again. “You’re still talking? Maybe I should shut you up for good.”He grabbed

Albert’s lips curled into a bloody sneer as he stared daggers at Damon.“Santiago will be here soon,” he rasped, voice low but laced with venom. “And when he arrives, that smug smile of yours will vanish—replaced with fear and pain. Just like you made me suffer, he’ll make you scream. I’ll enjoy every second of it.”Damon didn’t react. He stood motionless, arms crossed, his expression unreadable. He stared at Albert as if he were nothing more than an insignificant bug beneath his boot, waiting patiently for Santiago.Serena, however, was a different story.She scrambled toward Albert, her designer dress dragging on the floor, her once-perfectly styled hair now a tangled mess. “Albert, please,” she begged, her voice shrill with panic. “You have to understand—I didn’t know Damon would do this! I swear, I had no idea he was this crazy, apart from being poor and worthless! ”Albert's eyes, dark with fury, shot toward her. "You bastard!" he spat. "No matter what happens, I’m not forgiving

The cool night air hit Celia’s face, but it did nothing to erase the guilt weighing down her heart. As they stepped out of the restaurant, the heaviness lingered, refusing to lift. The chaos of the evening clung to her—Serena’s betrayal. And Damon, standing tall through it all, unshaken. She glanced at him walking beside her, his face calm but unreadable, and her stomach twisted with regret. He’d been dragged into this mess because of her. “Damon, I’m so sorry,” she whispered as they came to a stop near the curb. “This is all my fault. I dragged you into this mess.” Damon turned to her, his dark eyes softening. “Celia, don’t,” he said, calm but unwavering. “You didn’t drag me into anything. None of this falls on you.” His voice was steady, leaving no room for doubt. “Serena planned this from the start. She knew exactly what she was doing. Don’t carry their mess.” Celia bit her lip, eyes dropping to the cracked sidewalk. “I just... I can’t believe she’d do this. Serena was my fr

Serena crossed her arms and glared at them. “Wasn’t yesterday enough for you?” Serena said, her voice filled with anger and sarcasm. “I know people like you — you never listen until you’re punished and embarrassed. You didn’t learn your lesson yesterday, but I won’t let you ruin my special night today.” Damon could hear others making fun of them. Their mocking voices were louder than ever, but he didn’t care. His focus was on Celia, and the insults around them felt like nothing but barking. “I’ve never seen anyone as shameless as them. They’re too shameless to be human,” people said. “How can they show up to Serena’s party again after yesterday? They should be hiding in shame, not walking around like fools.” “They deserve even more humiliation. They should be kicked out. They shouldn’t ruin Serena’s party today,” Serena and others continued, their voices filled with sarcasm. Damon stayed calm. "Just like I said yesterday, the truth will reveal itself today," he said, his v

The bright chandeliers above shone down hard on everyone’s faces. The guests, who were acting proud before, now looked scared. The laughing that filled the room just moments ago had completely stopped. Now, there was a heavy silence. It felt like something was pressing on everyone's chest. No one moved. No one even dared to breathe too loudly. They were all afraid that any little sound might make Albert even angrier. Serena stood frozen in front of Albert, too shocked to move. Her red gown, once shining under the lights, now felt uncomfortable and no longer looked beautiful to her. She opened her mouth to speak, but no words came out. Her mind raced, trying to understand why Albert was so angry. She looked at Michael beside her. He was pale and stiff. The proud and confident look on his face was gone now Everyone in the room kept looking from Albert to Serena. They were all waiting for someone to say something. Finally, Serena found her voice, though it trembled with fear
