Chapter 163
Alexander pushed through the restaurant door with his men flanking him on both sides. The peaceful lunch crowd went silent as everyone turned to stare at the tattooed man who looked like he'd walked straight out of a crime movie.Celia's hand tightened around her water glass. "Damon, who is that?""I don't know," Damon said quietly, his eyes tracking Alexander's movement across the room. Every instinct he had was screaming danger.Alexander walked straight toward their table, his face twisted with barely controlled rage. He stopped right in front of them and slammed both hands down on their table so hard the plates jumped."So you're Damon," Alexander said, his voice dripping with venom.Damon didn't flinch. He calmly put down his fork and looked up at the man. "Do I know you?""You don't need to know me. You just need to stay away from what's mine.""I have no idea what you're talking about," Damon replied, his voice completely steady. "Maybe you have the wrong person.""Oh, I've got

Damon stepped out of his car and walked toward the entrance of Celia's office building. The money he had given her had already saved her family's company from collapse. He checked his watch and realized it was almost lunchtime, which meant perfect timing to surprise her.He'd barely made it through the glass doors when his phone rang. Anthony's name flashed on the screen."What's up?" Damon answered."Just wanted to let you know the meeting with your father went exactly as planned," Anthony said. "He bought everything. Asked a lot of questions but I stuck to the script. He left frustrated but he's not suspicious of me.""Good work," Damon replied. "Did he say anything else?""Just asked me to pass along a message if I ever talk to you about personal matters. He wants you to know he's sorry and he'll wait until you're ready to reach out."Damon felt something tighten in his chest but pushed it away. "Noted. Thanks for handling that.""No problem. Are we still meeting later this week to
Chapter 161
Edward Sterling walked into the private meeting room at the Grand Meridian Hotel, his assistant following close behind. Anthony Williams was already seated at the table, looking relaxed but professional in his tailored suit."Mr. Williams, thank you for agreeing to meet with me on such short notice," Edward said, extending his hand.Anthony stood and shook it firmly. "Of course, Mr. Sterling. Your assistant mentioned this was important."They both sat down and Edward's assistant placed a folder on the table before stepping back to stand near the wall. Edward leaned forward slightly, his expression serious."I'll get straight to the point," Edward began. "I'm looking for information about someone, and I believe you're one of the few people who might be able to help me."Anthony's face remained neutral. "I see. And who would that be?""Damon," Edward said, watching Anthony's reaction carefully. "I need to know more about him. His background, his family, where he came from."Anthony didn
Chapter 160
Alexander sat sprawled on the leather couch, his shirt completely unbuttoned to show off the intricate tattoos covering his chest and arms. Dark ink snaked across his skin in patterns that made him look more like a gangster than a businessman. Two women flanked him on either side, their hands rubbing his chest while he held a cigarette between his fingers.The phone in his hand suddenly went flying across the room and shattered against the wall."Damnit! She's still not picking!" Alexander roared, his face twisted with rage.One of his men immediately stepped forward with another phone, the tenth one that day. Alexander snatched it from his hand and scrolled through his contacts until he found Marcus's number. He jabbed the call button so hard his finger turned white."Where is Vivienne right now?" Alexander demanded the second Marcus picked up."She's still inside her house, boss. She hasn't come out all day."Alexander's eyes narrowed dangerously. "Are you absolutely sure she's not
Chapter 159
Lucas was lying hurt on the hard, cold floor. His face was so puffy and bloody that no one would know who he was from across the room. His left eye was completely shut, looking very dark and bruised. Dried blood ran in crusty lines down his chin and neck. His ribs hurt terribly every time he tried to take a breath.The other inmates stepped over him like he was trash, some of them deliberately grinding their heels into his arms or legs as they passed. One of them spat on him and laughed."Rich boy doesn't look so rich anymore, does he?"Lucas couldn't even respond. His jaw hurt too much to open his mouth.A police officer walked by the cell, glanced in at Lucas lying there broken and bleeding, then kept walking without stopping. Lucas tried to lift his hand, tried to call out for help, but the officer had already disappeared down the corridor.They thought he was the problem. They thought he deserved this. Nobody was coming to save him.For the first time since he'd been thrown in th
Chapter 158
Michael's hands clenched into fists at his sides as he stared at Serena's triumphant expression. "You're actually happy about this? Happy because you think you've trapped me?""Of course I'm happy," Serena shot back, propping herself up slightly on the hospital bed. "But don't twist it like I planned this whole thing. I had a feeling I might be pregnant before, and it turned out I was right. We both made this baby, Michael. It takes two people, remember? So stop acting like I went and got myself pregnant all by myself."Michael's jaw tightened but Serena kept going, her voice gaining strength."You need to forget about leaving me now. That ship has sailed. You're stuck with me whether you like it or not." She pointed at him, her eyes blazing. "You wouldn't want your child growing up without both parents, would you? So just stop fighting this and put a ring on my finger already. Let's get married and spend our lives together like we're supposed to. Even your parents can't stop me from
