"I'm not angry, Celia. Like I said, I'm done with her. Honestly, if I were really angry, I wouldn't have come with you to see her in the first place."

"What she did doesn't matter to me anymore." Damon continued.

"Vivienne spoke against me in court about something I didn’t do. She believed them and thought I was lying, and that sent me to prison. She was so certain of what she said against me that no matter how much I tried, she wouldn’t believe me—even though she was my best friend back then. Now she says it was all a mistake, but I can’t believe her either. I’m not angry with her. I just don’t want to forgive her."

"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 smiled back, feeling pleased by her words. She understood things clearly and didn't jump to conclusions, even when she hadn't heard the full story yet. He coul

    “Okay, Simon. Let’s meet tomorrow,” Damon said before ending the call. As expected, it was about his mother’s death. Simon had found new information, but he couldn’t explain it over the phone. Tomorrow, Damon would get answers. He put the phone back in his pocket and turned toward the ballroom, but then he stopped. Through the window above, he saw Serena and Michael outside, having a furious argument, their voices cutting through the night. A smirk tugged at Damon’s lips. “Why are those idiots shouting at each other now? Did they finally realize how stupid their plan was?” he muttered with a low chuckle. Leaning closer, he whispered under his breath, almost as if speaking directly to them. “You haven’t seen anything yet. You’re still stubborn, and you’ll still try to harm me and Celia. But neither of us will flinch. You’ll only end up destroying yourselves—and when you regret it, it’ll be too late.” Damon cracked the window open slightly, just enough to catch their words. They we

    Michael quickly dialed his father’s assistant, who answered almost immediately. “Mr. Thorne, I was just about to call you. There’s a problem,” the assistant said, his voice heavy with tension. Michael’s expression darkened, and Serena’s heart skipped a beat. “What? What problem? I called to tell you about the humiliation we just suffered at this event, so you could help us fix it. Now you’re saying there’s another problem?” Michael snapped, frustration clear in his voice. “Yes, Mr. Thorne. The problem is about the event itself. What happened to you tonight is spreading fast, and it’s getting out of hand,” the assistant said, fear evident in his tone.But when Michael and Serena heard that, they inhaled slowly, as if the assistant’s words no longer scared them. They believed they already had the right solution, and now they were certain they would find a way out.The assistant’s voice grew sharper. “Mr. Thorne, you don’t understand. This is serious. I think you should come back hom

    Vivienne had just finished giving her speech as the guest of honor. Everyone clapped, and her smile never faltered, but inside her mind was far away from the stage.What she really wanted tonight wasn’t applause.It was an answer.She wanted to know if Damon and Celia were truly dating. Each time they smiled at each other, every glance between them—Vivienne studied it all. Yet no matter how much she thought about it, she hadn’t found a single way to test them, not one thing to force a reaction that would reveal the truth.Her eyes locked on them again. Damon leaned closer to Celia, whispering something that made her laugh softly. Vivienne’s nails dug into her palm. She needed to do something. Anything.Just as she was about to step toward their table, her assistant, Eliza, appeared in front of her with urgency written all over her face.“Ma’am, there’s something you need to take care of right now. It’s important,” Eliza said, her tone sharp.Vivienne frowned. “What? What could be so i

    "Did they really just kick us out like we're nobody? All because of Damon and Celia?" Serena's voice shook with anger. "Michael, you said your father's assistant has important friends. He's the one who got us into this gala. How could they throw us out like we don't matter?"Her face burned red. "They should treat us with respect. We deserve it because of your father's assistant."They had been walking back and forth outside ever since security dragged them from the fancy ballroom. Both were so angry they could barely think straight. If Damon and Celia appeared now, they wanted nothing more than to tear them to pieces."I'm confused too," Michael said with a bitter laugh that wasn't funny at all. He was filled with rage. "They acted like my father's assistant didn't matter. Like Damon is more important than him. What a sick joke."Serena's mind raced. "Maybe they don't know your father's assistant is the one who invited us. That's why they treated us so badly."She started pacing fast

    "What are you doing here?" Lucas asked, walking closer with that smug look on his face."Do we need your permission to go anywhere? We're here because we were invited," Damon said with a scoff. Lucas laughed, sliding his hands into his pockets as he stopped right in front of Damon and Celia."Yes, you need permission because I'm a Sterling. Get that through your thick skull! Stop acting cocky. Who would dare invite trash like you here?" Lucas's voice rose, though he flashed Damon a mocking smile. Deep down, rage burned in his chest."Here we go again with this stupid drama. It keeps repeating and I'm already tired of it. I have better things to do than waste time on brainless people like you," Damon said, looking bored before letting out a dry laugh."Lucas Sterling, don't you have anything better to do than cause trouble? Just go have fun instead of wasting my time," Damon added, making Lucas even angrier."Did you just call me brainless?" Lucas started to raise his voice but stopped

    Vivienne stood frozen in place, her heart racing as Damon’s words echoed in her mind. He had thanked her. After everything that had happened between them, after the misunderstanding, he had actually thanked her.She hadn’t expected this moment. Not now, not when he still hadn’t forgiven her. Not when she knew he was still angry.Her breath came in quick, uneven gasps as she watched him walk away with Celia. “He doesn’t hate me completely,” she whispered, her voice trembling with hope, her eyes never leaving his figure. “There’s still a chance. He hasn’t shut me out forever. He can still forgive me.”She had braced herself for him to ignore her completely tonight. She had expected him to turn away again, just like at the airport. But instead, he had acknowledged her help.Maybe he understood that she hadn’t defended him just to deceive him into forgiving her. Maybe he realized she was truly trying to make things right.Vivienne pressed her hand to her chest, feeling her heart slam aga
