Chapter 490
At that moment, as Demian’s voice echoed across the grand, silent living room, Victoria’s father, Joe, felt the weight of the room shift. His earlier attempts to appear bold and unshaken were just a paper shield against the storm standing in front of him. Even though he sat straight and nodded like a man in control, deep down, his heartbeat was no longer calm, it thudded against his chest like war drums. He could feel the truth crawling toward him, and every step Demian took with his words made that truth sharper.Demian leaned forward slightly, his tone calm but razor-edged, like a man delivering a verdict rather than a conversation. “Let me not waste your time or mine,” he said. “First of all, your little brother, the one you sent to stir trouble for that innocent family? He’s gone. No longer part of this world. But I’m not here for him. No. I’m here for something far more dangerous.”Joe flinched subtly at the mention of his brother. He tried not to show emotion, but his face brief

At that moment, upon hearing what Damian just said, Victoria’s father once bold and commanding felt something shift in the room. A strange chill rolled down his spine, and his eyes stayed locked on Demian’s face. The calmness in Demian’s tone, the control he held over the situation… it wasn’t ordinary. It wasn’t just confidence it was absolute dominance.His lips twitched, and for a moment, his throat went dry. But trying not to show fear, he swallowed hard and slowly sank back into his chair, his fingers clenching tightly on the armrest. Inside, his mind was racing.Where the hell are my guards? Why isn’t anyone coming? But he knew the answer.Damien had already said it: the guards were asleep. Or worse. And judging from the tone in Demian’s voice, it wasn’t some bluff. Whatever this young man had done to them, he didn’t even feel the need to hide it.As he sat down fully, trying to compose himself, he leaned back and raised his chin slightly as if to regain his authority. “Fine,” he

At that moment, Damien leaned forward slightly, his voice calm but cutting, “You should relax, now that I'm still calm. Why are you stressing yourself over nothing?” He casually waved his hand. “Nobody’s coming. You can call every contact on your phone if you want, friends, family, even security. But no one will answer. Just like your precious younger brother... he’s not coming either.”Then Demian slowly reached into his coat and pulled out a sleek black phone. He dropped it gently onto the glass table with a soft clink, letting it settle between them like a ticking bomb. His eyes never left Victoria’s father.The moment Victoria’s father saw the phone, his brows furrowed. His heartbeat picked up, but his pride wouldn't let him flinch.“What’s this?” he barked. “You think I’m stupid, boy? You think you can just toss a phone on my table and trick me into believing it’s my brother’s? Who the hell do you think you are?”His voice grew louder with rage. “You lowlife scum! There’s no way
Chapter 487
At that moment, Victoria’s father was furiously pacing the marble floor of his luxurious living room. The air was thick with tension. His clenched fists showed the storm brewing inside him. The silence in the room wasn’t peaceful it was heavy. His shoes echoed each time they hit the floor, the rhythm of a man on the edge. For more than twenty-four hours, he hadn’t heard a word from his younger brother. No call. No message. Nothing. It was unlike him, especially after the kind of task he handed over to him.He paused and looked at his phone again. Still nothing, his jaw tightened.“This is nonsense,” he muttered to himself. “He should’ve just told me he couldn’t handle it. Was that too hard?”At that moment he walked to the bar, poured himself a glass of whiskey, but didn't drink it. Instead, he stared at the golden liquid swirling in the glass as if it held the answers.“If you had just told me you were too soft to pull it off… I would’ve called someone else. I have the money. I have

At that moment, as the silence stretched across the room, Damien looked straight into Uncle Bernard’s eyes, his expression calm but firm. He smiled, not out of disrespect or sarcasm, but as a gesture of sincerity he respected Uncle Bernard and the entire family, but he needed to be honest with them.“Uncle Bernard,” Damien began slowly, his voice deep and steady, “I’ve already made my decision. You know I’m a man of my word, and I don’t go back on my decisions once they are made. From the very beginning, I’ve always seen Jessica as my younger sister. That’s how I’ve treated her. That’s how I’ve felt. And while I understand and respect that this marriage was a promise made by my father, I cannot honor something that doesn’t come from my heart. I’m truly sorry.”The words landed heavily in the room. But Uncle Bernard didn’t react with anger or disappointment. Instead, he nodded slowly, his lips pressed together in understanding. There was pain in his eyes, yes, but also something else r
Chapter 485
At that moment, the entire room grew quiet.Uncle Bernard didn’t speak. Jessica sat still, her eyes quietly staring at Damien, trying to understand the meaning behind his words. But Damien was calm more composed than any of them had ever seen him.He looked at both Deborah and Jessica, and his voice came soft but firm, “I want you both to know something important... I’ve already forgiven you. A long time ago, in fact. I’m not carrying anything in my heart against you.”Hearing Damien words Deborah slowly lifted her face from her palms. Jessica blinked, stunned. Damien continued, “I was angry, yes. When everything happened, I was upset. But I understood sometimes people act out of fear, out of pressure, out of a desperate need to protect what they think is theirs. And honestly, every mother or father that cares deeply for their child might do what you did, Deborah. Maybe even worse.”Deborah covered her mouth, trembling a little.“But not every parent would stop to reflect and come bac
