Hearing Serenity threat Damien leaned back slightly, his tone measured and deliberate.

“Well,” he began, “that depends on how you want to see it, Serenity.” His calm demeanor only seemed to amplify the tension in the room. He could feel Serenity’s fiery gaze locked onto him, her anger simmering just beneath the surface.

Then he straightened up, meeting her eyes.

“But let’s not waste anyone’s time here,” he said firmly.

“You might have forgotten about the herbs I used for your grandfather, or perhaps you still remember, don't you?”

However Serenity didn’t respond. She didn’t nod or show any outward acknowledgment. Her arms remained tightly crossed, her expression hard and unreadable. Yet, she didn’t interrupt him, a sign that despite her anger, she was willing to let him finish, whatever he was going to ask then she will decide if she's going to lock him up or not.

“I need two more herbs,” Damien continued, his voice steady. “Without them, I won’t be able to fully treat him.”

    Still Deborah kept her head low, her fingers shaking lightly as she held her hands together. She couldn’t look at him.“You only saw him as a low person,” Uncle Bernard continued, his voice rising. “And now look! Look at what has happened! You caused this, and it’s not just your loss, it’s the family’s loss. We will all feel it. We will all suffer because of you.”Jessica’s face was still tight. She looked at her mother with a kind of pain she didn’t know how to express. Her jaw moved like she wanted to speak, but she was just too angry to form the right words.Deborah swallowed hard, then her voice came out, low and weak. “I’m sorry,” she said quietly. “It was Victoria... she was the one always lighting my fire. Even when I wanted to calm down, she would come again, whisper things to me, and I... I let her.”Her voice cracked, and she wiped her face with her hand. “I’m sorry.”Jessica let out a small, bitter laugh, shaking her head. “Sorry? Now you’re sorry?”Deborah didn’t say anyth

    After waiting for a while, then at that moment, the sharpness in Jessica’s voice cut through the heavy air in the room like a blade. Both Uncle Bernard and Deborah turned their eyes slowly towards her, as if they were only just realizing she was still there with them.Jessica’s face was serious. Her hands were tightly clenched on her lap, her brows slightly furrowed. She was breathing fast, trying to hold herself together, but her voice carried both frustration and a quiet pain.“Are we all just going to sit here,” she continued, her voice trembling, “and pretend as if nothing happened? Are we just going to act like what we saw Damien do in that warehouse was some kind of trick?!” She turned directly to her mother, her eyes sharp. “Mom, are you still going to pretend that Damien is just ordinary? That he’s worthless?”Hearing her daughter words Deborah looked away immediately, unable to hold Jessica’s gaze. She didn’t say a word, but the shame was written all over her face. She wante

    At that moment, Serenity pretended to be calm. She sat upright with a straight back, her face wearing that stoic pride she always displayed as the War Goddess. But deep inside, her chest was heavy, and her heart was restless, beating in uneven patterns she could not control.Then she would then tell her subordinate in a firm voice, “Bring me the letter.”Immediately, her subordinate walked forward, each step sharp and measured, then stood before her and respectfully handed the sealed envelope to her with both hands. The seal was heavy, embossed with the emblem she knew too well the personal mark of the brain. She didn’t need to look twice to recognize it.Then Serenity would then tell him “You may take your leave now.”Without question, the subordinate saluted her smartly, turned, and exited the study. The sound of the door shutting echoed in the silent room like a warning bell. It was as if the closing of that door sealed her in with her fate.Then at that moment, when she was finall

    At that moment, Damien leaned back slowly, his gaze fixed on Sophia. There was a stillness in his eyes, like a man who had been searching for sincerity and just found it sitting right across from him. He didn’t say a word immediately. Instead, he watched her, watched the way her hands remained tightened on her lap, watched the subtle rise and fall of her chest as she breathed deeply, as if steadying herself against the weight of her own decision.Then Sophia met his gaze with unwavering eyes. She had already made up her mind, that was clear, and Damien could see it. There was no hesitation anymore, no shaky voice, no stammering. She was certain, even though she didn’t know what the future held or what waiting for him would mean. And for the first time, Damien allowed himself to appreciate the strength it took for her to say that, to choose him the unknown, the uncertain over comfort and ease.“Alright then,” Damien said, his voice calm but serious. “Since you’ve made that decision, I

    Again Sophia’s fingers tightened even more beneath the table, her palms starting to sweat from the storm inside her. Her eyes wide, uncertain, and filled with a silent kind of fire remained locked on Damien’s. There was a hint of something breaking in her, not weakness, but the kind of vulnerability only people with true courage could show. She was scared, yes. But she wasn’t going to retreat.Not when she had already come this far, not when she had poured her heart out.Not when she had laid everything bare in front of the one person who seemed to constantly defy everything she thought she knew about strength.Because she knew deep in her bones that Damien wasn’t saying everything. Yes, he had warned her. Yes, he had spoken about danger and sacrifice, about how hard it would be to stay beside him. But that wasn’t what she was asking. That wasn’t what she needed.She swallowed hard, feeling the sting of pressure behind her eyes, but she pushed past it.Her voice shook slightly, but he

    At that moment, hearing what Damien just said, Sophia was taken aback. She wasn’t expecting words like that from him, not this calm, piercing honesty. Her lips parted slightly, but no words came out. It wasn’t rejection, no. It wasn’t even cruelty. It was just… raw reality from Damien. And that made it even harder to respond.Again Damien’s words echoed in her head—“Can you really handle me, Sophia?”It wasn’t just a question. It was a test.Without being told, she could tell Damien wasn’t asking out of pride or trying to show off. He was giving her a choice. A warning. Maybe even a door out.Still, part of her couldn’t shake the thought that maybe Damien was trying to scare her. That maybe this was a wall, a tall, intimidating wall built to see if she would run. Maybe he didn’t want anyone getting too close. Maybe he’d done this before. Spoken like this. Sounded distant like this. Pushed others away like this. And maybe that was what he was doing now.But even as those thoughts fille
