"What..." Vivienne's voice cracked, her eyes wide with disbelief. "Alexander, what the heck are you saying? Damon never laughed at me. He never disrespected you. You're the one who dragged him into this mess in the first place." She stepped forward, her hands shaking but her words sharp. "So stop making things up, thinking you could hurt him with your accusations and make me hate him. It won't work."But Alexander wasn't listening. His jaw was tight, his eyes dark with something that looked like madness. The kind of madness that comes from a man who's used to getting everything he wants and suddenly realizes he could lose the one thing he truly desires."You said he never disrespected me," Alexander said, his voice dangerously low, "but he just did. Right now. And you didn't do anything about it." He took a step closer to Vivienne, his presence suffocating. "And Vivienne? You of all people know who I am. You know how powerful I am. You know what I can do when someone crosses me."Vivi

Immediately, Alexander pulled out the gun and pointed it right at Damon. Vivienne’s eyes went wide, but Damon didn’t move. He looked completely unbothered like this was just another regular day for him.“Alexander, no! Don’t shoot, please don’t!” Vivienne cried, her voice shaking so much she could barely talk. “Please, it’s not what you think. Believe me, Damon is here because I called him. I needed to talk to him. It’s not what you’re thinking at all. Please, put the gun down.”Vivienne looked terrified. She couldn’t let Alexander hurt Damon—never. She’d rather be the one hurt than watch Damon fall in front of her.Without even thinking, she stepped in front of Damon, blocking Alexander’s aim with her own body. Her heart was racing fast, but she refused to move.What made Alexander grow even angrier every passing second wasn’t just that she was protecting Damon—it was Damon’s expression.Damon wasn’t scared, wasn’t shaking, wasn’t begging for his life. He just stood there with that s

Damon drove back toward his house, his mind working through possible ways to help Vivienne get away from her engagement. Alexander had a lot of resources, but that didn't make him untouchable. Every powerful man had weaknesses, it was just a matter of finding them.His phone rang. Simon's name appeared on the screen."Good day, Simon. Why did you call?" Damon asked, switching to speakerphone."Boss, I need to tell you something urgent, and I have to say it right now over the phone." Simon's voice was tense. "I've been digging into that Tarnex Holdings company like you asked—the one connected to your mother's death. I found something, but you're not going to like it."Damon's grip tightened on the steering wheel. "What did you find?""The company's ownership is buried under multiple shell corporations, but I managed to trace it back through offshore accounts and dummy boards." Simon paused. "It connects to the Sterling family."The car swerved slightly before Damon corrected it. "Which

Lucas stared at his mother, certain he'd misheard. "What did you just say?" Vanessa leaned closer, her voice dropping to barely a whisper. "I said your father needs to die." The words hung between them like smoke. Lucas glanced around the visitation room, empty except for the guard stationed near the door, far enough away that he couldn't hear them. Still, his mother's calm delivery unsettled him more than the statement itself. "You can't be serious." Lucas kept his voice low, matching her tone. "Mom, I know he refused to bail me out, but murder? There has to be another way." "There isn't." Vanessa's eyes held no doubt, no hesitation. "Listen to me carefully, Lucas. We don't have much time, and I need you to understand exactly what's at stake." She pulled her chair closer, the metal legs scraping against the concrete floor. The sound made Lucas wince. "Right now, your father is questioning everything. He doubts you're his son. He's actively searching for Damon." She paused, letti

Damon finally spoke up."Then we're going to help her if you want it. You know I can't deny you, and besides, Vivienne has already apologized for everything she did. I've already forgiven her, so she's a friend to me again..." Damon paused, his expression growing thoughtful before he continued."Even though she and her family misunderstood me when I needed them to believe me most, I wouldn't think about that and use it to repay them. I'll help her."Celia couldn't help the happy smile that escaped her lips when Damon said that. Her eyes lit up with genuine warmth."That's so good of you, Damon. You're the kindest person I have ever met," Celia said softly.Damon scoffed, though there was amusement in his tone. "Are you flattering me?"Celia hit his shoulder lightly, laughing as Damon chuckled. "Of course not! I'm telling the truth."She turned to look outside the car window, her gaze settling on her family's company building. The sight made her smile grow even wider, and for a moment,

Vivienne sat alone at the café table after Damon and Celia left, staring at her cold coffee. Her hands trembled as she wrapped them tighter around the cup. She'd promised Damon she wouldn't let Alexander harm him, and she meant every word of it. Even though Damon acted like he wasn't scared, like Alexander was just some annoying fly he could swat away, Vivienne knew better. She knew what Alexander was capable of when his pride got hurt. She'd seen him destroy people who crossed him, watched him ruin lives without losing a single night of sleep over it. Damon might have resources. He might have connections she was unaware of. Hell, he might even have more power than Alexander did. But that didn't stop the sick feeling in her stomach every time she thought about what Alexander might do to him. She couldn't let that happen. She wouldn't. --- Damon pulled up to Celia's family company building and turned off the engine. "Don't worry about Alexander at all," Damon said, looking at her
