At that moment, hearing the voice, both Deborah and Victoria’s uncle turned their heads sharply toward the doorway. Their eyes widened as they saw Damien standing there. His figure was framed by the light coming from behind him, and for a brief second, the tension in the room shifted.

Damien’s face was drawn tight, a strange mix of exhaustion and fire. His breathing was steady, but his eyes those piercing eyes burned with something deeper. Rage, pain, were all tangled together, and even though he didn’t say anything yet, his mere presence demanded attention.

At that moment Deborah’s lips parted slightly, a shaky gasp escaping her. Her chest rose and fell quickly, as though she’d been holding her breath all this time and could finally breathe.

Immediately Relief washed over her so fast it nearly made her knees buckle.

‘Finally he’s here… Damien is alive.’

For so many minutes, fear had gripped her chest like a vice fear that Damien had been hurt, fear that he hadn’t survived whatever

    However, despite the crushing weight of this revelation and the emotional turmoil raging inside her chest, Sophia knew that rules were rules.She had already made a solemn promise to Damian about keeping their relationship and her connections private, and she absolutely wasn't going to break that sacred trust for anyone.Not even for her own grandfather, and certainly not for something as foolish as this situation that he had created entirely through his own poor judgment.Her voice became ice-cold and final, cutting through his desperate pleas like a blade through silk.“I don't care if you literally used our mansion, our car, or even your own life as collateral for this stupid bet,” she said, each word delivered with devastating finality.“It's not my business what happens to any of it, and it's certainly not my responsibility to fix your mistakes.”Sophia's voice dropped to a whisper that somehow carried more power than any shout. “They are not coming.”“And now, on the very first

    At that moment, her grandfather's tone shifted to one of deep regret. “So with the little bit that I actually heard from your conversation, I just foolishly decided to use it to brag a little.”He sounded almost childish in his admission. “I wanted to use those scraps of information to boast in front of my old friends and make myself look more important and connected.”His voice cracked with the weight of his mistake. “But I never in my wildest dreams knew that it was going to bite me back just like this, so viciously and so quickly.”The desperation returned full force. “Because now all of my friends are calling me a complete fraud and a pathetic liar!”“They're saying that what I'm talking about isn't real, that I'm just making up stories and lying through my teeth to impress them.”He continued with mounting distress. “So in the heat of the moment, we ended up placing a bet on whether or not I was telling the truth.”“And I was so excited and confident that I started to literall

    At that moment, upon hearing what Rebecca just said with such hopeful enthusiasm, Stella immediately jumped in to add her own eager agreement.“Yes, exactly!” Stella chimed in, her voice bright with anticipation. “It might just be Damian calling to check on you, so you should definitely answer it right away!”Both women looked at Sophia expectantly, their faces glowing with the possibility that Damian might be on the other end of that call.At that moment Sophia reached for her phone reluctantly, her movements slow and deliberate as she pulled the device from her designer purse.The truth was that she knew with absolute certainty that it wasn't Damian calling her, because she had set up a completely different ringtone specifically for whenever he contacted her.She had chosen a special melody that would play only when Damian's name appeared on her screen, something entirely different from the generic tone that was currently ringing through the quiet room.But then again, just to main

    However, the moment Mr. Darlington's trembling hand reached for the door handle, desperately grasping for his freedom, the heavy wooden door suddenly exploded inward with tremendous force.The violent impact sent him stumbling backward, his expensive shoes sliding across the polished marble floor as he fought to maintain his balance.Then a group of imposing men stormed through the doorway like a military strike force, their heavy boots thundering against the floor with synchronized precision that made the entire room vibrate.Without being told anyone could tell these weren't ordinary security guards or corporate personnel - they were strong, fierce-looking men whose very presence commanded immediate respect and fear.Mr. Darlington's blood ran cold the instant his eyes focused on their distinctive military uniforms, the crisp fabric adorned with insignia that he recognized all too well.His heart sank like a stone dropped into deep water as the terrible realization crashed over him

    At that exact moment, Mr. Darlington's arm shot out like a weapon, his trembling finger aimed directly at Rebecca and her group.“Attack them!!” he barked, his voice cracking with desperation and rage. “I seriously need you to attack each and every one of them right now!”The words hung in the air like a death sentence.Hearing what their boss just commanded, the security guards exchanged uncertain glances before their training kicked in. Even the bloodied manager, still nursing his wounds, struggled to his feet and joined the advancing line.They started moving forward in a slow, menacing formation, their footsteps echoing against the marble floor as they closed the distance between themselves and Rebecca's group.Rebecca stood her ground, her posture straight and unflinching. Stella remained calm beside her, while Sophia and the other two ladies positioned themselves in a protective circle.The lead security guard raised his hands in what appeared to be a peaceful gesture, though hi

    At that moment, something shifted in Mr. Darlington's demeanor a flash of his old arrogance breaking through the mask of submission.That was when Mr. Darlington slowly rose from where he had been kneeling in defeat, his knees cracking audibly as he pushed himself upright.He deliberately wiped the tears from his eyes with the back of his hand, smearing the moisture across his cheek in a gesture that seemed to restore some fragment of his former pride.Then, with a sudden burst of misplaced defiance, he pointed a trembling finger directly at Rebecca, his voice rising with desperate indignation.“I've literally apologized to you!” he declared, his tone a mixture of pleading and accusation. “I've literally told you exactly how sorry I am for everything!”His voice grew stronger as he found his footing. “I've done everything humanly possible to make sure that every single one of you can see with your own eyes that I'm genuinely willing to make complete amends!”Mr. Darlington's gesture s
