"You disgust me."
Damon glared at the woman standing before him—his wife, Serena, his voice cold.
His fists clenched, his jaw tight with anger. The woman he had once loved and cherished, now looking at him with cold indifference.Across from him, Serena crossed her arms, her expression unreadable. "Lower your voice, Damon," she said, sounding annoyed rather than guilty. "There's no need for this drama."
"No need?" Damon's voice was sharp with disbelief. "I just caught my wife cheating, and you expect me to stay calm?" He stepped closer, his eyes burning into hers. "How long, Serena? How long have you been making a fool out of me?"
Just moments ago, Damon had received photos from his subordinate, Anthony. Pictures of Serena and another man entering a hotel room—intimate, undeniable proof of her betrayal. He had trusted her completely, never once imagining he'd see her like that with another man.
But now, she wasn't even denying it.
Serena sighed, as if bored with the conversation already. "Does it even matter? We were bound to end anyway, Damon. I was just waiting for the right moment."
"The right moment?" His anger turned ice-cold. "You were waiting for the right moment to betray me?"
Serena let out a short laugh and shook her head. "Don’t be so dramatic. It’s not betrayal. It’s just… moving on."
Damon stared at her, his fury twisting into something more painful. "Moving on? Is that what you call sleeping with another man behind my back?"
Serena rolled her eyes. "I won’t apologize for doing what’s best for me. You and I both know this marriage has been pointless for a long time." She lifted her chin, her voice unwavering. "I want a divorce, Damon."
For a moment, everything went silent. The words hung in the air, heavy and suffocating.
Damon took a slow breath, trying to control the storm raging inside him. "So that’s it? You’re throwing me away like I meant nothing?"
Serena smirked slightly. "You already are nothing, Damon." She tilted her head, her gaze sharp. "Be honest with yourself. What have you really done for me all these years? Your existence has been nothing but a burden."
Damon’s hands trembled—not from weakness, but from the sheer force of the betrayal cutting through him. "A burden?" His voice was dangerously quiet. "Serena, I’ve done everything for you."
She scoffed. "Oh, please. Don’t act like you’ve been some great husband. My success? That was my doing, not yours. You had nothing to do with it."
Damon let out a bitter laugh. "Nothing to do with it?"
Serena sighed, clearly impatient. "Look, Damon. I’m with someone else now. Someone who can actually take me to the top."
His stomach twisted, but he forced himself to stay composed. "Michael, right?" He said bitterly. Michael was the man in the photos—the one Serena had betrayed him with.
Her smirk widened. "Smart man."
Damon clenched his fists so hard his nails dug into his palms. "You really think he's the reason you just landed that partnership with Vespera Corporation?"
Serena shrugged. "Of course. Who else could have made it happen? Michael has connections with the biggest names in the industry. Thanks to him, Vespera Corporation agreed to the deal. With this contract, my company will rise to the top, and nothing will stop me."
He stared at her, unreadable. Then, a dark chuckle slipped past his lips. “You really believe that?”
Her brows drew together. “What are you getting at?”
Damon stepped forward, his voice dropping to a cold murmur. “Have you ever bothered to ask who the chairman of Vespera Corporation is?”
She blinked, hesitating. Then scoffed. “What does that matter?”
A cruel smile tugged at his mouth. “Everything.”
She rolled her eyes. “Oh, don’t tell me it’s you. Save me the fantasy, Damon. You’ve always been a nobody. Don’t embarrass yourself!”
“Is that what you think?” he murmured, his voice almost amused.
In truth, he was the chairman of Vespera Corporation. Every major deal Serena thought Michael had secured for her—those so-called connections—had actually come through him.
He had once planned to tell her everything after this deal was made.
But now? There was no longer any reason to.
“Enough!” she snapped, yanking a stack of documents from her bag and tossing them at him. “I’m done with your games. Sign the divorce and get out of my life.”
Damon looked down at the papers, his chest tight with betrayal. Then slowly, he picked up a pen.
“As you wish.”
Without hesitation, he signed, then tossed the documents back onto the table.
And without another word, he turned and walked out, the door clicking softly behind him.
As he stepped outside, a line of luxury cars was parked at the entrance. A group of bodyguards in black suits stood waiting for him.
"Good evening, Boss!" they greeted in unison, bowing respectfully.

Vivienne had just finished giving her speech as the guest of honor. Everyone clapped, and her smile never faltered, but inside her mind was far away from the stage.What she really wanted tonight wasn’t applause.It was an answer.She wanted to know if Damon and Celia were truly dating. Each time they smiled at each other, every glance between them—Vivienne studied it all. Yet no matter how much she thought about it, she hadn’t found a single way to test them, not one thing to force a reaction that would reveal the truth.Her eyes locked on them again. Damon leaned closer to Celia, whispering something that made her laugh softly. Vivienne’s nails dug into her palm. She needed to do something. Anything.Just as she was about to step toward their table, her assistant, Eliza, appeared in front of her with urgency written all over her face.“Ma’am, there’s something you need to take care of right now. It’s important,” Eliza said, her tone sharp.Vivienne frowned. “What? What could be so i

"Did they really just kick us out like we're nobody? All because of Damon and Celia?" Serena's voice shook with anger. "Michael, you said your father's assistant has important friends. He's the one who got us into this gala. How could they throw us out like we don't matter?"Her face burned red. "They should treat us with respect. We deserve it because of your father's assistant."They had been walking back and forth outside ever since security dragged them from the fancy ballroom. Both were so angry they could barely think straight. If Damon and Celia appeared now, they wanted nothing more than to tear them to pieces."I'm confused too," Michael said with a bitter laugh that wasn't funny at all. He was filled with rage. "They acted like my father's assistant didn't matter. Like Damon is more important than him. What a sick joke."Serena's mind raced. "Maybe they don't know your father's assistant is the one who invited us. That's why they treated us so badly."She started pacing fast

"What are you doing here?" Lucas asked, walking closer with that smug look on his face."Do we need your permission to go anywhere? We're here because we were invited," Damon said with a scoff. Lucas laughed, sliding his hands into his pockets as he stopped right in front of Damon and Celia."Yes, you need permission because I'm a Sterling. Get that through your thick skull! Stop acting cocky. Who would dare invite trash like you here?" Lucas's voice rose, though he flashed Damon a mocking smile. Deep down, rage burned in his chest."Here we go again with this stupid drama. It keeps repeating and I'm already tired of it. I have better things to do than waste time on brainless people like you," Damon said, looking bored before letting out a dry laugh."Lucas Sterling, don't you have anything better to do than cause trouble? Just go have fun instead of wasting my time," Damon added, making Lucas even angrier."Did you just call me brainless?" Lucas started to raise his voice but stopped

Vivienne stood frozen in place, her heart racing as Damon’s words echoed in her mind. He had thanked her. After everything that had happened between them, after the misunderstanding, he had actually thanked her.She hadn’t expected this moment. Not now, not when he still hadn’t forgiven her. Not when she knew he was still angry.Her breath came in quick, uneven gasps as she watched him walk away with Celia. “He doesn’t hate me completely,” she whispered, her voice trembling with hope, her eyes never leaving his figure. “There’s still a chance. He hasn’t shut me out forever. He can still forgive me.”She had braced herself for him to ignore her completely tonight. She had expected him to turn away again, just like at the airport. But instead, he had acknowledged her help.Maybe he understood that she hadn’t defended him just to deceive him into forgiving her. Maybe he realized she was truly trying to make things right.Vivienne pressed her hand to her chest, feeling her heart slam aga

“Wait! You can’t do this to us!” Serena’s voice cracked, her anger colliding with a wave of sadness. “We’re not the ones who deserve to leave... It’s them!”Her eyes locked onto Vivienne, wide with disbelief. “Why… why did you change your mind? Please, don’t do this to us. You promised! You said you’d be on our side, that you’d help us expose those shameless idiots.” Her chest rose and fell with sharp, uneven breaths. “So why now? Why are you betraying us like this?”Michael struggled against the grip of the guards, his words spilling out in desperation. “Please, Miss Vivienne... Just one more minute, that’s all we’re asking! If you’re doubting us, if you think we’re lying, then let us prove the truth to you!”His voice grew hoarse as they dragged him further away. “Damon can’t just walk free after everything he’s done! He can’t! Please… please listen to us!”But Vivienne only curved her lips into a knowing smirk. They thought they could use her against Damon... the man she secretly h

Damon scoffed as Serena and Michael made a scene, sure it would end badly for them. “Clowns,” he muttered, watching them pull the same dumb stunts they were always known for.Richard, Margaret, and Thomas exchanged bewildered glances. Richard leaned toward Margaret and whispered, "But Anthony Williams just called them VIP guests."“I heard that too,” Margaret whispered back. “I guess these people don’t know either and just wanted to cause trouble.”Serena heard them whispering without knowing what they were talking about. She grew more desperate, thinking their words were starting to sway others. "Don't let them fool you! I was married to this worthless man. I know exactly what kind of monster he is.""She's telling the truth," Michael declared, his voice echoing across the ballroom. "These two have been scamming their way through high society, pretending to be important when they're actually criminals."Serena smiled to herself, certain that Damon and Celia were finally going down.
