At that moment The tension in the room reached a boiling point as Damien stood unflinching against the taunts and threats hurled his way.

His calm demeanor only seemed to heighten the unease that had begun to creep into the banquet hall. With one time call from Damien, the doors to the grand room burst open, and a group of bodyguards in sleek black suits filed in, their movements precise and intimidating.

Immediately the air thickened as the suited men positioned themselves strategically around the room, cutting off any potential exits.

The guests, once smug and condescending, now exchanged uneasy glances, their bravado replaced by a creeping sense of dread.

Jefferson, however, attempted to maintain his composure. Rising from his seat, he barked, “Do you think you can intimidate me with hired thugs, Damien? You’re playing a dangerous game! I’ll have the law on you for this. You won’t get away with it!”

Hearing what Jefferson just said.

Damien didn't respond immediately. Instead, he

    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

    At that moment her voice trembled slightly, but she didn’t stop. Not now.“You’re… you’re different, Damien. You’re not like anyone else. You’re a rare breed. The kind of man that doesn’t come around twice. The kind of man who changes everything just by being in the room. And I’d be a fool to pretend like I don’t see that. Like I don’t feel that.”Damien’s expression was unreadable. Not cold. Not warm. Just still. Watching.“I’m not going to sit here,” she continued, “and wait for a treasure like you to somehow walk into my hands if I don’t even try to reach out. If I don’t at least try to look for that treasure myself.”She then continue, her voice trembling a little now. “That’s why I came here, Damien… that’s why I gathered up everything in me every single drop of courage to say what was in my heart.” Her gaze lowered as she added, “I just hope… I hope you won’t see me differently after this. I hope you don’t look at me and think I’m desperate… or foolish… or reckless like I said e

    At that moment, Damien paused as if something had just struck him. His sharp gaze softened slightly, and for the first time since he sat down, a flicker of guilt crossed his face. He looked at Sophia, truly looked at her now. The nerves in her eyes. The way her hands had disappeared beneath the table, probably clenched tightly. The tremble in her voice. The way she kept swallowing as though trying to stop herself from breaking down.Then He exhaled quietly, leaned back into the seat, and then spoke his tone calmer now, almost warm.“Sophia… I’m sorry.”That caught her off guard. She blinked, her lips parting slightly, not expecting to hear those words from him.“I just realized how I spoke to you earlier,” Damien continued, his voice lower, more careful. “It was rude. I shouldn’t have rushed you like that. I let my tiredness and stress get the better of me. And for that, I’m really sorry.”Hearing Damien words Sophia’s eyes shimmered, though she blinked quickly to keep any emotion fro

    At that moment, Sophia quickly leaned forward a bit, her eyes locking onto Damien’s, a quiet desperation hiding behind her calm tone.“The situation is really important to me,” she said earnestly, trying to steady her breath. “That’s why I asked for this meeting. I didn’t want to just send a text or call and let it pass like that. I wanted to look you in the eye and say it properly. I wanted to apologize and clear the misunderstanding between us.”Her voice softened even more, almost breaking. “I know it may not mean much to you now, but it means everything to me.”Still Damien’s eyes remained on her for a while, unmoving, unreadable. He didn’t respond immediately, and for a second Sophia thought maybe he was considering having a conversation, maybe her words had touched something. But then Damien leaned back slowly and exhaled.“Well,” he said, “like I already told you… I’ve forgotten about it. It’s done. It’s behind me. So if you’re saying you’re the last to let go, then fine. Let i

    Then, at that moment, Damien calmly pulled out the chair opposite Sophia and sat down, his posture relaxed but his eyes fixed on her. There was a stillness about him quiet, composed, but undeniably alert. His presence filled the room without trying to hardImmediately Sophia gave a small smile, but there was tension behind it. She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, then reached for the menu on the table, more out of something to do with her hands than genuine interest.“Um... do you care for anything?” she asked, trying to steady her voice. “Like... should I order a drink? Or maybe some food? Or at least something sweet? I mean, you came all the way here and I just—”Then Damien gently raised his hand to stop her.“It’s alright,” he said, his voice calm and firm. “Just water is fine. They can bring that.”He leaned forward slightly, his eyes narrowing just a little. “Sophia, I’m curious,” he said, not wasting time. “I really want to know what it is you wanted to talk about. Becau
