Damon's POV20 Years AgoI was only five years old, but the sound of my mother's sobs still haunts me. I sat on the cold, wooden floor of our small house, watching her pack her clothes into a tattered suitcase. Her hands shook as she tried to close the latch, tears streaming down her bruised face.“Mom,” I cried, crawling closer to her. “Don't leave me. Please, don't leave me.” She knelt in front of me, her trembling hands cupping my face. Her eyes were red, swollen, and filled with pain I couldn't understand at the time.“I love you, Damon,” she whispered. “But I can't stay here anymore.”“Then take me with you!” I begged, grabbing onto her dress. Before she could answer, the door slammed open, and my father stormed in. His face was twisted in anger, his fists clenched. “You think you can leave me?” he roared. “Stop it, Fred!” My mom screamed, standing in front of me as if she could shield me from his rage. But my father didn't stop. His fist collided with her face, and she fel

Kiara's POVI couldn't believe my eyes. Damon was standing there, right in front of me. I didn't even have to say a word, and there he was—no warning, no call...I had never told him where I was going. So, how the hell did he find me?My heart pounded in my chest. I felt a rush of confusion, fear, and something I wasn't ready to face. How could he be here? How did he even know where to look for me?Then, I saw Nicholas smirk. He wasn't even bothered. “Looks like someone has a tracker on his… woman,” he said, his voice dripping with sarcasm.I wasn't sure whether I wanted to scream or just walk out of the room. Instead, I just stood there, frozen. What the hell was happening?Damon didn't waste any time. He walked up to me, smiling without saying another word, he pulled me into his arms. I was still in shock, but a small part of me felt safer with him holding me. But then his voice cut through the silence. “I came just in time. I won't let anyone touch my woman. Especially not you, Nic

Kiara's POVRose had been usually persistent about me joining her for a meeting with a potential business partner at the Dorchester Hotel. I wasn't interested at first, but she kept insisting the client needed reassurance from someone in a senior position. Reluctantly, I agreed, thinking it was just another regular business deal. I wondered why the person couldn't just come to my office instead of demanding a private meeting, but I trusted Rose. She has never lied to me. As our car cruised through the busy London streets, I couldn't shake the uneasy feeling in my chest. Something about this meeting felt…strange. I adjusted my blazer and tried to focus on Rose's chatter, but my mind kept wandering back to Damon. I let out a small smile, thinking of him made me feel safe despite the mystery surrounding my job right now. He is dependable, and supportive, and made me feel safe—a stability I desperately needed after everything that happened with Nicholas. When we arrived at the Dorche

Nicholas' POV “Were you able to trace the sender?” I asked Luca, stepping out of my car. “No, sir. At least, not yet.” He replied, following me.I knew Kiara was in danger and I needed to protect her. But she wouldn't even let me into her life anymore. I wanted to see her again, to tell her how sorry I was, and convince her to trust me just once again.“Prepare a flight to London, Luca,” I said to him before entering my office. He nodded and I shut the door behind me. Damn it! I slammed my foot against the wall, breathing hard. Then I heard a knock on my door. “Leave my door, I have no meetings today,” I spoke without knowing who was there.“It's Hollis.” A soft voice came off. Hollis? What was she doing here? She wouldn't stay out of my life, would she?I reluctantly opened the door and she came in, looking tall and gorgeous as usual. She dropped her bag on the table and folded her arms. “I'll help your company.” She spoke words that sounded unbelievable to my ears.How had she ch

Kiara's POV “Kiara! Help me! Please.” Nicholas screamed, his body slowly drifting into the swamp. Damon's voice followed, “Kiara! I'm the one you should help, not him!” I stood right in front of them, I had to save just one person within seconds. It was hard to choose. I panicked, looking at Nicholas's pitiful eyes as the swamp's icy grip clutched at his chest, dragging him down while Damon's desperate voice echoed like a haunting wind.The air reeked of damp earth and decay, suffocating my breath as I struggled to move. Just as I moved closer to them, I heard a loud thump, and my eyes flashed open.My forehead was sweating as my palm met my forehead. I just had a bad nightmare. I hugged my pillow, tossed the bed, and soon slept off again after ruminating on what the nightmare meant. ———As I descended the stairs, my step-mother's voice startled me but I quickly regained my composure so that she didn't notice. “Did you get the text?” She bantered coldly, folding her arms. “What t

Kiara's POV Back at the office, I tried to focus on the pile of work waiting for me after taking a day off. Rose, my assistant, had a stack of files on my desk, which I needed to review urgently. “Thank you, Rose,” I said, glancing at the files. “You're welcome, ma'am. How was your trip to the States?” she asked with a warm smile. “Interesting, Rose. It went well.” I replied, smiling briefly before turning to my laptop. “Okay, ma'am. I'll take my leave now,” she said, nodding slightly before walking out. Moments later, a knock sounded on the door. “Come in,” I called out. The door creaked open, and Damon stepped in, his presence filling the room. A smile played on his lips as he walked toward me, leaning down to place a quick kiss on my cheek. “Missing me already?” he teased. I blushed. “Maybe,” I said, pulling him closer to kiss him on the lips. Then he settled into the chair across from my desk. “Or maybe I'm just surprised to see you here during work hours,” I said, sm
