At that moment Damien's fingers hovered over the steering wheel as his phone buzzed incessantly, the familiar number flashing on the screen.

Immediately He clenched his jaw, his mind racing back to the unpleasant memories tied to that name—London. Their first encounter at the restaurant had left a bitter taste in Damien’s mouth, followed by that late-night call filled with hollow threats over Sophia. He had no patience for this man, no desire to hear whatever excuse or venom he wanted to spit this time.

However The phone continued ringing, loud and persistent. Damien stared at it, his lips pressed into a thin line.

‘Not now. Not ever,’ he thought. With a deliberate motion, he reached over and silenced the call. The buzzing ceased, and the car fell into silence once more, save for the low hum of the engine.

Then he exhaled deeply, gripping the wheel tighter as he focused back on the road.

But his resolve was tested again when the phone lit up for the second time, the same number gla

    Deborah kept her head down, her hands squeezing together in her lap.Uncle Ben continued, his voice even sharper, “If you like, go ahead and start trouble. Go and start throwing accusations around. But let me tell you now, don’t put that on Damien’s head. That boy is the same person who saved us earlier today.”He paused for a second, his chest heaving with breath, his eyes still locked on her. “I don’t want to experience what I went through today ever again, not because of your stubbornness.”Deborah said nothing, still staring at the floor.Uncle Bernard shook his head and added coldly, “If you want to look for trouble, do it on your own. I won’t follow you, and I won’t beg anybody to help you either. You’ll be on your own.”Then he took a sit and sat back slowly, still watching her, making sure she understood he meant every single word.At that moment, Deborah raised her hand slightly, her voice low and careful. “I’ve heard what everyone said,” she muttered. “It was just a suggesti

    At that moment, Jessica just stood there, her hand still holding the phone, but her mind was far gone. She couldn’t speak, she couldn’t move. Her mouth stayed open slightly, her eyes fixed on nothing in particular. She was completely shocked, to the bone. She wasn’t expecting what she just heard. Not even in her wildest thoughts.Her father, who had been watching her closely, noticed how stiff she became. He could see the fear written all over her face, the way her hands were shaking, the way her chest was rising and falling fast, like she couldn’t catch her breath.“Jessica,” her father called gently. “What is it? What’s going on? Who called you? We heard Victoria’s name. What is it? Is Victoria okay?”Hearing her father words Jessica didn’t answer. She just shook her head slowly, her eyes still wide, like she was still trying to understand what she just heard.“Is she sick or something?” her father asked again, his voice a little louder, more worried now.Jessica shook her head agai

    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
