Chapter 306
At that moment without wasting any more time, Victoria’s brother brought the phone back to his ear and said, voice steady but dripping with heat, “Alright. I’m going to check it out myself. I’ll go over there, have a little chat with him. Talk some sense into that bastard.”He paused, his voice tightening.“And if he doesn’t listen to what I have to say… then he’ll only have himself to blame.”There was no need for threats. No need to raise his voice. His calmness said more than violence ever could. That kind of calm only came from men who had destroyed people without breaking a sweat.On the other end of the call, Victoria smiled. Her heart lifted with satisfaction. She had been waiting for this moment. She knew exactly what her brother was capable of. She had seen it before. When he wanted something—really wanted something—he doesn't stop. He doesn't negotiate. He doesn't flinch.And right now, she could tell he was hungry, Dangerously hungry.She leaned back, her tone light but cha
Chapter 305
At that moment, when Victoria received the text message from her brother, she stared at the screen for a few seconds, her eyes narrowing slightly.Then her fingers tightened around the phone.Without being told she could tell what that message meant.Her brother was serious. He had already moved past playing nice, and now he wanted results. Fast. The weight of it sat heavy in her chest, because if she didn’t respond soon, if she didn’t act quickly, she knew what he was capable of doing on his own—and that was something she didn’t want happening without control.But there was a problem, She had no idea how to find Damien.She let out a soft, frustrated breath, walking slowly to the edge of her balcony. Her eyes scanned the horizon as her mind raced. Jessica would never give her Damien’s number or location—never. Not after the way she was acting lately. She was clearly hiding him, protecting him, probably even meeting him in secret.“So what am I supposed to do now?” she thought.She di
CHAPTER 304
At that moment, Jessica opened her mouth to speak, but her mother sharply raised a finger to her lips.“Don’t,” her mother said quietly but firmly. “Not a word from you, Jessica. The decision is made.”Jessica swallowed her words, her jaw tightening. “But Mom—”“I said not a word.”Her voice was calm, but that calmness held weight. Jessica froze. She looked down, her fingers tightening around her dress. She wanted to scream. Instead, she muttered under her breath, “This isn’t fair…”Immediately her mother glanced at her, “Life isn’t always fair. You’ll thank me later, I'm sure you will.”Jessica grumbled but didn’t fight further. She knew how her mother could be—once her mind was set, trying to change it was like pushing against a wall. And maybe, just maybe, her mother wasn’t wrong. She was in a tight position now.Inside, her heart was a mess.Victoria’s family was powerful, no doubt about it. They have money, respect, influence everything Jessica once told herself she wanted. That’
CHAPTER 303
As soon as Brandon excused himself with a satisfied smile. Deborah, kept her smile on until he was out of earshot.The moment he stepped out of the restaurant doors, her smile vanished.Immediately she dropped her cup of wine on the table with a soft clink, then slowly turned to Jessica, her face now hard and sharp.“Are you out of your mind?” she said through tight lips.Jessica blinked. “What do you mean?”Deborah leaned in, her voice low but intense. “Do you have any idea who just sat with us? Do you know what kind of family that boy comes from?”At that moment Jessica didn’t respond, However her mother took the silence as ignorance and scoffed.“That boy—Brandon—is Victoria’s brother. Victoria! your friend the same girl you told me her father gifted her a luxury yacht for her twenty-first birthday. Not a car, not a house—a yacht. A ship, Jessica. For her birthday.”Jessica simply reached for her water, avoiding eye contact.“You want to keep fooling around with that boy, Damien,
CHAPTER 302
At that moment, Jessica's mother, Deborah, could hardly keep her expression composed.the smile on her face faltered for just a second, but the fire that flickered in her eyes said everything her lips refused to say aloud.How dare Jessica act so defensive…Over that bastard Damien… of all people.Deborah sat there, holding her wine glass delicately, her fingers clenching the stem a little too tightly, what has gotten into her girl? she fumed inwardly.How can she sit here and embarrass her mother like this?A quiet war was waging behind her smile.Brandon was here, seated beside Jessica, wealthy, well-mannered, and dripping with influence.And here Jessica was, pushing him aside because of a man like Damien? a man without any traceable roots, a man who, if not for some recent stunts, would have been just another shadow in the crowd.At that moment Deborah glanced briefly at Brandon. The young man sat upright, casually sipping his drink, still flashing that charming grin like nothing
CHAPTER 301
At that moment, Jessica’s mother, Deborah, sat up straighter, her heart skipping a beat, She was extremely surprised hearing such direct words coming from Victoria's brother, Brandon.Then she blinked twice, as if trying to make sure she had heard him right.In her mind, a thousand thoughts began racing wildly.Victoria’s family…the family that could buy an entire district without blinking…the family where, just this year, Victoria’s father bought her a full-sized luxury yacht as a birthday gift — a yacht worth more than many family fortunes combined.And that was just for a birthday.It wasn’t even a wedding. It wasn’t even a grand occasion.It was just... because she turned a year older.At that moment Deborah almost couldn’t breathe at the thought.If Victoria's father could casually gift a yacht...Just imagine the kind of wealth Brandon would inherit.Just imagine the kind of life Jessica would have if she married into that family.Without being told, she knew very well the kind o
CHAPTER 300
However Just as Jessica and her mother were settling in, their food orders freshly placed and the gentle aroma of roasted spices filling the air, the soft murmur of the restaurant was broken by a familiar voice.“Excuse me,” the voice said smoothly, almost casually.“May I join the two of you?”Upon hearing what word Jessica blinked, surprised by the interruption, She lifted her head slowly, her fingers still resting lightly on the menu, her gaze landed on the man standing politely before their table.Her heart sank slightly when she saw, It was Victoria’s brother, Brandon.She hadn’t seen him in a while not properly, at least, and honestly, she hadn’t missed him, not after all the quiet rumors, the sneaky way he always managed to show up where she was, pretending to just "bump into her" by coincidence.But today, of all days?At that moment Jessica’s face remained neutral, though inwardly she was already tense.She didn’t say anything at first, unsure how to react without causing a
CHAPTER 299
At that moment he paused, breathing heavily.“And he didn’t get away with it.”The finality in his voice left no room for debate.“So why, why, Serenity, should I worry about him? Why should I shed even a single tear for someone who brought his own end upon himself?”Serenity bit down hard on her bottom lip, tasting blood again.Her shoulders trembled slightly as she fought the emotions threatening to explode inside her.“And you...”Her grandfather’s voice lowered, but somehow, it sounded even more terrifying now.“If you think this—this weak excuse you’re giving me—this rubbish about Winston—is what you’ll use to change my mind, then you are even more foolish than I thought.”The hallway stood eerily quiet once again, Serenity remained frozen on the spot, her heart hammering inside her chest, She stared blankly at the locked door, feeling the weight of her grandfather’s words sink deeper and deeper into her bones.Inside, her grandfather’s voice came again—heavy, raw, and filled wit
CHAPTER 298
Again the words slammed into Serenity like hammers, she stood there, her body trembling, her nails digging into her palms.She wanted to scream, She wanted to cry, She wanted to punch something.All the anger she had bottled up inside finally started spilling over.She bit her lower lip so hard it almost bled, just to stop herself from shouting back.Did he think she hadn't tried? Did he think she hadn't swallowed her pride and gone after Damien?She had, She did everything she could!But Damien—Damien was acting all high and mighty, like he was the center of the universe.Like he was untouchable.Serenity’s fists tightened even more, he treated her like she was nothing.As if she, Serenity, the War Goddess, someone feared and, respected across cities and top families, was below him!And what made it worse—Her grandfather didn't even ask how hard she tried, he didn't even care about the humiliation she suffered.All he cared about was Damien. Anger stung her eyes but she refused to
