Chapter 186
Damon, Vivienne, and Celia walked to Damon's car in silence. Vivienne sat in the back seat while Celia took the front passenger seat beside Damon. He started the engine and pulled out of the hotel parking lot."Where are we going?" Vivienne asked from the back, her voice still shaky.Damon glanced at her through the rearview mirror. "Somewhere safe. A place where Alexander won't be able to find you."Vivienne let out a long breath. "Thank you. I don't know what would have happened if you two hadn't come."Celia turned slightly in her seat to look at Vivienne. "You're safe now. That's what matters."Vivienne's eyes filled with tears again. "But my parents... what are they going to think when they hear about this? They're going to be so angry with me for leaving Alexander. They needed his family's support for the company.""You didn't do anything wrong," Celia said firmly. "He was abusing you. No parent should want that for their child, no matter how much money is involved.""Celia's ri

"What the hell are you idiots doing?" Alexander screamed. "There are six of you and one of him!"The first man who had been thrown earlier got back up and charged at Damon again. This time Damon didn't hold back. He side-stepped the charge, grabbed the man's collar, and used his own momentum to slam him face-first into the wall. The man collapsed and didn't get up.The second and third men tried attacking together again but Damon was ready. He swept the legs out from under one man, sending him crashing down hard. The other man received a powerful kick to the chest that knocked the wind out of him.Now only three men were still standing, and they looked terrified. They'd never encountered someone who could fight like this."Boss, this guy is insane!" one of them said. "We need backup!""Then call for backup, you idiots!" Alexander shouted.But before anyone could make a call, Damon was already moving again. He took down the remaining three men with quick, efficient strikes. Within seco

Damon stared at the receptionist, completely unimpressed by her sudden change of tone. He knew exactly what had happened, someone had just contacted her and told her to let them through."We're not interested anymore," Damon said flatly.The receptionist's smile faltered. "But sir, the suite is available now. I can check you in immediately.""I said no." Damon answered his phone. "Anthony?""Damon, I just spoke with the hotel manager. He's aware of the situation and he's giving you full access to Suite 308. He also mentioned that Alexander paid the reception staff to deny anyone entry to that floor. The manager is firing that receptionist as we speak.""Good. We're heading up now.""Be careful. I think that Alexander is very dangerous."Damon ended the call and looked at the receptionist. "You're done here. The manager knows what you did."Her face went pale. "Sir, I was just following orders—""Save it." Damon grabbed Celia's hand and walked toward the elevators.The receptionist cal

Damon and Celia arrived at the hotel faster than they'd anticipated, rushing toward the reception desk with urgent expressions."Good evening, we're here to see Vivienne Ashford," Damon said. Noticing their anxious demeanor, the receptionist immediately pulled up her system.After a moment, she looked up. "I'm sorry, but Miss Ashford checked out just a few minutes ago with her fiancé."Damon's eyes widened in surprise while Celia gasped."What? She just called us—she's supposed to be here! How could she have left so quickly?" Celia protested, struggling to accept what she was hearing.The receptionist maintained her composure. "Miss Ashford is no longer a guest at our hotel. We have no reason to detain her. Now, if you'll excuse me." She turned away to assist another customer.Damon said nothing, but his instincts told him the receptionist was lying and trying to get rid of them."Let's go, Celia," he said quietly, taking her hand and guiding her toward the exit."Damon, we can't just

Damon and Celia walked out of the station. Celia kept close to Damon, her mind still racing from what had just happened with Hunter.“Damon,” she said softly, “can we go somewhere quiet first? I… I want to talk to you properly, just us.”Damon glanced at her, understanding immediately. “As you wish. We can find a place where no one will disturb us.”Celia felt a small smile, relief passing through her. She had been holding back for so long, and now, finally, she wanted to tell him how she felt without any interruptions.They started walking toward the car, but before Damon could even unlock the door, his phone rang. He pulled it out quickly and saw the name on the screen—Vivienne.He answered immediately. “Vivienne, what’s wrong?”On the other end, Vivienne’s voice trembled. “Damon… please. I need you… Come to my hotel… now. Please, just this last time. I know I’ve cut you off, just like Alexander wanted, but I need your help. Please, Damon.”Damon’s eyes narrowed. He didn’t know why

Damon parked the car outside the police station. He turned off the engine and looked at Celia. "Stay close to me inside. We give our statements, answer their questions, and leave. Nothing else."Celia nodded. "Okay."They got out and walked through the front doors. An officer at the desk recognized them from the call about the coffee shop incident. He stood up right away."You two are the witnesses from the coffee shop?" the officer asked."Yes," Damon said. "We are here to give statements about the attempted assault."The officer pointed to a row of chairs. "Sit there. Detective Ramirez will take you soon."They sat. Celia kept her hands in her lap. Damon put his arm around her shoulders without asking. She leaned into him.After ten minutes, a woman in plain clothes walked up. "I'm Detective Ramirez. Follow me."She led them to a small room with a table and four chairs. A recorder sat in the center. She turned it on and stated the date, time, and names."Start from the beginning," R
