"You don’t have to tell me if it makes you uncomfortable. I’m sorry for asking—I didn’t mean to push," Celia said gently, noticing Damon’s reaction. She could see the way his expression shifted, the tension in his jaw. The question clearly unsettled him, and she instantly felt guilty for bringing it up.Damon stared into space for a moment, lost in thought. The word family brought back memories—how they had cast him out that night, without mercy, even though he was just a child."Damon, I’m really—" Celia began, thinking he was upset with her for asking too many questions. But before she could finish, Damon cut her off."I don’t have a family," he said flatly. "My mother is dead. Since then, I’ve had no one. I’m completely alone in this world—and honestly, that’s better."Celia gasped softly. He didn’t seem angry or even uncomfortable, but something about the way he spoke… it felt like he was hiding the pain, masking it so he wouldn’t look broken."I'm sorry… I didn’t know. I shouldn’
Chapter 62
“Don’t you dare touch me!” Serena screamed as the security guards began escorting them out.The guards had assumed Serena and Michael had already left quietly. But instead, they lingered near the entrance of the private lounge. Moments after Damon and Celia stepped out, Serena and Michael tried to sneak in, hoping to speak with Vivienne. They still believed she despised Damon and Celia and foolishly clung to the hope that she would take their side instead.“If you two don’t leave this airport completely in the next five minutes, you’ll be arrested!” the lead security guard snapped. “We’ve had enough of your nonsense today. We’ve tried to be respectful, but you two have proven to be complete idiots!”Serena and Michael gasped in shock.The security guards had already gotten into trouble for allowing them to loiter. Now, to avoid facing even harsher consequences, the guards were willing to be blunt and disrespectful—if that’s what it took to finally get Serena and Michael out.“You jus

"I'm not angry, Celia. Like I said, I'm just done with her. Honestly, if I were really angry, I wouldn't have even come with you in the first place to come see her."“Okay, if you say so. But I won’t blame you if you’re angry—honestly, you have every right to be, after what she did, she betrayed your friendship.” Celia said, giving Damon a soft smile that told him she wasn’t judging him at all.Damon returned the smile, feeling pleased by her words. She understood things clearly and didn’t jump to conclusions, even when she hadn’t fully grasped everything yet. He couldn’t help it—his heart played a little trick on him, racing at the sight of her beautiful smile.“But she said she misunderstood you. Maybe there’s more to it than you think. Just listen to her—you might finally understand what really happened,” Celia said gently.“She had every chance to explain herself while we were inside, but she didn’t say a word. I’m not wasting any more time on her. I’ve already put her—and everyth

Damon looked at Celia with a gentle expression. "Have you seen her enough?" he asked softly."What do you mean?" Celia asked, still confused by everything that had happened."I mean, are you ready to go?" Damon said. "Anthony told me that after this, you should come to the company. There's something you need to do there."Celia looked at him, then at Vivienne, who was still standing there with pain in her eyes. "Oh," she said quietly. "Yes, I guess we should go."She didn't want to leave. She hadn't gotten the chance to speak with Vivienne properly or tell her how much she admired her. But with all these emotions between Damon and Vivienne, she felt like she couldn't do anything. The whole situation left her confused. She was curious about what had really happened between Damon and Vivienne. Questions kept circling in her mind.Damon had once been friends with Vivienne Ashford—the famous heiress. That wasn’t something just anyone could pull off, even with Anthony’s support. Damon had

“What…?” Celia whispered, the word barely a sound. She looked at Damon, her eyes wide with a million questions. “Damon, what is she… You know her?” He never said a word about this—not once. Even when she spoke about Vivienne—yesterday and again today, he acted as if Vivienne Ashford were a stranger, a distant icon Celia admired from afar. But this... this was not the look of a stranger. This was something deeper. “Damon, please,” Vivienne said again, her voice soft and trembling. The confident, unshakable woman from the photos was gone, replaced by someone vulnerable. “I can’t believe you’re really here. After all this time, I’ve been looking… I’ve been looking for you for years.” Damon remained silent. His posture was rigid, his jaw set like stone. If Celia looked closely, she could see a muscle twitching along his jawline. The air around him had grown impossibly cold. It wasn’t the calm indifference he’d shown Serena and Michael; this was different. This was a deep, chilling a
Chapter 58
A stunned silence hung in the air, thick and suffocating. Serena’s mouth had fallen open, a perfect, horrified ‘o’. Beside her, Michael’s face was a mask of disbelief, his jaw so tight it ached. Mannerless? The word echoed in Serena’s mind, a sharp, ugly thing. "Did the great Vivienne Ashford just call us mannerless?" Vivienne’s eyes burned with anger. "Let me be clearer," she said, her voice firm, each word a deliberate cut. "Even if I were inclined to entertain strangers, educated people—people of class—understand the concept of an appointment. They don't burst into a private terminal like a pair of frantic hooligans and cause a scene." The insult hit hard, like being punched. This wasn't how it was supposed to go. The tailored silk of Serena’s blouse suddenly felt like a cheap costume. The hand-stitched leather of Michael’s shoes felt ridiculous. They had dressed for power, for importance. They had expected Vivienne to see their expensive clothes and recognize them as peers
