At that moment, the announcer smiled warmly, his voice echoing across the event hall as he took center stage beneath the elegant, softly glowing chandelier. He clutched the microphone with confidence, clearing his throat just slightly, before speaking with cheerful energy.“Well, ladies and gentlemen,” he began, flashing a charming grin, “now that everyone is present and properly seated, I believe it's time for us to officially kick off this much-anticipated gathering. It has been far too long since some of us have seen one another, and I must say, the room tonight is glowing filled with familiar faces, and of course, some beautiful new additions.”He took a small pause, allowing a ripple of polite laughter and warm glances to pass through the audience.“I see that many of our gentlemen have arrived with their stunning girlfriends, and some of our gorgeous ladies are here with their charming boyfriends or should I say, husbands now?” he added, his tone playful and teasing. The crowd c

Rebecca blinked slowly, still saying nothing. Cecilia didn’t give her the chance.“Now tell me,” she continued, shaking her head in disbelief, “how can you open your mouth and talk anyhow like that in front of someone like David? You’re trying to make him look small when he hasn’t even said a word back to you. Do you think that’s okay? Is it not foolishness? Don’t try that nonsense again.”She turned slightly to look at David, as if silently reaffirming her loyalty, before looking back at Rebecca with an even firmer stare.“And that’s not all,” she went on. “You think it’s just military they have? You don’t even know the half of it. That family, the Johnson-Jude family people call them JJ for a reason. They don’t just wear ranks. They wear power. Their influence stretches across business, security, healing yes, I said healing and more.”Cecilia then took a step forward, as though drawing a line between herself and Rebecca with nothing but her words.“They own one of the largest import

At that moment, Rebecca nodded her head firmly, her voice trembling but certain.“Yes,” she said. “Not just a military personnel or some ordinary officer. No. He’s extremely ranked like at the very top. Everything you heard outside, the helicopters, the cars, the soldiers… all of it belongs to him. He came down from a Rolls-Royce I’ve never even seen before in my life. It wasn’t just expensive it was the kind of car only a handful of people in the world would even dare to sit in.” Her chest rose and fell quickly as she spoke, her eyes darting around the hall nervously as if she feared someone else might have overheard her confession. Then she looked back at Cecilia, her tone dropping into a whisper. “That man… Sophia’s man… he’s too powerful, too connected. Nobody should mess with him. He’s in a completely different league, Cecilia. I mean it.”Cecilia froze, staring at Rebecca like she was hearing nonsense, yet the seriousness in Rebecca’s eyes kept her from brushing it off. Slowly

Upon hearing what Rebecca just said, Cecilia stared at her, completely puzzled.This wasn’t the Rebecca she knew this wasn’t the same sharp-tongued, high-heeled, gossip-hungry friend who loved stirring the pot. No. This Rebecca looked like she had just walked out of a warzone.Her lips were pale, her hands still slightly trembling. Her eyes, usually filled with amusement or mischief, were now unsettled… dazed even.Cecilia frowned and leaned back in her seat, folding her arms slowly. Something was off. Very off.It was Rebecca herself who had boldly announced she was going outside just a few minutes ago to wait for Sophia. She said she was going to catch her in some “big act” and expose her for the liar she was. Cecilia didn’t even argue she let her go with full confidence that Sophia was about to get humiliated.But now…here Rebecca stood. her mouth dry. Voice shaky. Spirit drained.The same woman who had confidently walked out like a lioness was now standing like a soaked kitten.Ce

At that moment, Sophia turned to Damien and said gently, “Let’s go inside now.”Her voice was steady, but her heart was still racing. She didn’t want to keep standing out there, giving more fuel to Rebecca’s curiosity or Cecilia’s gossip network. She had already won just by Damien showing up but she wanted to step into the room and own it now.Damien gave a small nod, but just as they began to walk, he suddenly paused. He turned around, his boots clicking softly against the pavement.“Stand down,” he said firmly to the soldiers who were still flanking the convoy. “You don’t need to come with me. Return to base or wait by the vehicles I’ll handle everything from here.”Immediately there was no hesitation. Not even a flicker of doubt.Immediately, all the uniformed officers raised their hands in perfect sync and gave him a sharp salute. “Yes, sir!” they echoed.With precision, they turned and left without a single word, disappearing into their respective vehicles.The entire moment happ

Hearing what Sophia just said, Damien didn’t respond right away. He simply stood there, quietly watching her. His expression remained calm, but inside, his thoughts were spinning.He knew exactly how big this moment was for Sophia. Today was more than just an appearance it was her chance to stand tall in front of the people who had doubted her, judged her, and waited for her to stumble. He knew how much pressure had been placed on her shoulders, especially from Cecilia and the others. That’s why he planned this. Not just to be there for her, but to make a statement one that no one would forget.Still, this wasn’t even close to what he was capable of. Damien had intentionally held back. The show of power, the escorts, the helicopters it was all impressive, yes, but it was only a fraction of what he could’ve done. If he went all out, it would’ve shaken the entire region.But he couldn’t risk that.Because with every eye watching, with every whisper growing louder, the danger of someone
