Chapter 259
Saturday morning arrived with clear blue skies. Damon woke up early, his stomach filled with excitement. Today was the day he would show Celia and her family what he'd been planning. He got dressed carefully in a nice suit, wanting to look his best for this important moment. Then he drove to the Greene house to pick up Celia and her parents. Mrs. Greene answered the door with a bright smile. "Good morning, Damon! Come in, we're almost ready." "Good morning, Mrs. Greene. Take your time." Mr. Greene appeared from the living room, his head wound from the kidnapping completely healed now. "Damon, you look very formal today. Where exactly are we going?" "It's a surprise," Damon replied with a mysterious smile. "But I promise you'll love it." Celia came down the stairs wearing a simple but elegant dress. Her hair was styled beautifully, and she looked radiant. "You're being very secretive about this. Should I be worried?" "Not at all. Just trust me." They all got into Damon's car, w
Chapter 258
Damon left the Sterling mansion, behind him, the family was still processing his rejection of the Sterling name and fortune. But he didn't care what they thought anymore.He got into his car where Anthony was waiting and pulled out his phone to call Celia."Hello?" Celia's voice came through, warm and happy."Hi. Are you busy right now?""Not at all. I'm just at home with my parents. We're having lunch together.""Perfect. I was thinking we could go somewhere tonight. Just the two of us. Maybe dinner at that restaurant you like?"Celia laughed softly. "Are you asking me on a date, Mr. Damon?""I'm asking my girlfriend if she wants to spend the evening with me," Damon replied with a smile in his voice."Then yes, I'd love to. What time should I be ready?""I'll pick you up at seven."After ending the call, Damon turned to Anthony. "Can you help me with something?""Of course. What do you need?""I want to do something special for Celia and her family. Something that will show them how
Chapter 257
The Sterling mansion's grand living room was filled with family members. Uncles, aunts, cousins, and distant relatives all gathered together, confused about why Edward had called this emergency meeting. Damon stood near the back of the room with Anthony beside him, watching as people whispered to each other and speculated about what was happening. "Is that Damon?" one of his cousins whispered loudly. "What's he doing here?" "I thought he wasn't part of the family anymore," another relative said. Damon scoffed, Edward was wrong. They don’t seem to understand what’s going on. Maybe they haven’t been watching the news, or they’re deliberately ignoring the facts—because it’s the talk of the entire country. How could they not know what’s happening in their own family? Edward entered the room with Arthur supporting him. He still looked weak from his recovery, but his eyes were clear and determined. He walked to the front of the room and sat in the large chair that had always been reserv
Chapter 256
Three weeks had passed since the specialist doctors Damon hired arrived to treat Edward Sterling. The medical team had worked around the clock, using cutting-edge treatments and procedures to reverse the damage from Vanessa's poison.Damon stood outside his father's hospital room with Arthur, who had just given him an update on Edward's condition."The doctors say it's a miracle," Arthur said, his voice filled with relief. "Your father's kidneys are starting to function properly again. His other organs are responding well to treatment. They think he'll make a full recovery.""That's good news," Damon replied, though his tone was neutral."He keeps asking to see you," Arthur added. "He wants to thank you properly for saving his life."Damon nodded and pushed open the door to Edward's room. His father sat up in bed looking much better than the last time Damon had visited. Color had returned to his face, and his eyes were clear now."Damon," Edward said, his voice stronger as well."I ca

Anthony stared at the text message from Damon for a full five minutes. His hands shook slightly as he read it over and over again.Vivienne had confessed her feelings to Damon. Damon had rejected her gently. And now Damon was telling him this might be the right time to approach her."I can't do this," Anthony muttered to himself, setting his phone down on his desk. "What if she's too hurt right now? What if confessing my feelings makes everything worse?"But Damon's words kept echoing in his mind. She deserves to know someone genuinely cares about her.Anthony stood up and walked to the window of his office, looking out at the city below. He'd been in love with Vivienne for years, but he couldn't say anything to her, there was always some reason to stay silent, some excuse to wait a little longer.But maybe waiting was the problem. Maybe he'd been waiting so long that he'd missed every possible opportunity.Anthony pulled out his phone and called Vivienne's number before he could talk
Chapter 254
Damon walked out of the hospital and found Anthony waiting for him in the parking lot, leaning against his car."How did it go?" Anthony asked."About as well as could be expected," Damon replied. "Edward understands I'm not forgiving him, but he's grateful for the chance to live.""And how do you feel about all of this?"Damon leaned against the car beside Anthony. "Honestly? I don't know. Part of me still wants to let him die. But the bigger part knows that's not who I want to be.""You're doing the right thing," Anthony assured him. "Even if it's difficult."Damon's phone rang. He pulled it out and saw Vivienne's name on the screen. He hadn't spoken to her since before the kidnapping happened."Hello, Vivienne.""Damon!" Her voice sounded relieved. "I've been trying to reach you for days. I heard about what happened with Celia and her parents. Are they okay?""They're safe now. We're all recovering.""Thank god. I was so worried when I saw the news. Is there anything I can do to he
