Damon stood in the silence of the house, contemplating Vivian's words as he continued to gaze out the window.

Then I saw Ethan... he was harrasing one of the younger girls in the company, some kid who probably just started. Jeremy's voice grew tight as he continued. "Ethan was practically cornering her, making her feel small, like she didn't belong. He was saying stuff about how she wasn’t cut out for the job, pushing her around like she was some kind of punching bag. I couldn’t stand it." His eyes darkened, the anger still fresh in his mind. "So, I stepped in."Hope leaned forward slightly, her gaze fixed on him, sensing the deeper layers to his actions. "What did you do?"Jeremy's jaw clenched.

Her face was pale but resolute as her gaze darted between Vivian and Damon. “It’s Lorenzo,” she said, her voice trembling slightly. Vivian’s expression froze, the name hitting her like a physical blow. “What?” she asked, her tone sharp and disbelieving. Amelia nodded, taking a cautious step forward. “He confessed it just now. He walked out on us. All the evidence points to Lorenzo. He’s been working with Tyler Prescott, and Tyler is his nephew.” The silence that followed was deafening. Vivian’s stomach twisted, and for a moment, she couldn’t process the words. “Lorenzo?” she repeated, her voice barely above a whisper. “That’s impossible.” Damon’s eyes flicked to Vivian, watching as the truth began to sink in. “Lorenzo has been with this company for years,” Vivian continued, her voice gaining strength. “He’s one of our most trusted executives.

All the tension, the unspoken words, and the stolen glances seemed to melt into this one moment and Vivan Could feel herself melting In his arms. She slowly pulled apart; both were breathless. Damon’s forehead rested against hers, his hands lingering on her waist. “I’ve wanted to do that for a while,” he murmured, his voice low.
