Since they had stayed up late, neither had breakfast in the morning. Damien woke up and came downstairs around lunchtime. He seemed to be waiting for someone when Mrs. Luna served him his meal. Noticing that he hadn’t started eating, she asked, “Master, is the food not to your liking? Shall I cook something else for you?”

Damien looked around, appearing a bit distracted. “No, no, the food is fine.” He began to poke at his meal with his fork.

After a moment, Mrs. Luna spoke again. “Master, I forgot to mention that Madam told me to inform you that she went out and will be back for dinner.” She hesitated, as though there was more to say.

Did he believe that Anna was this polite and kind? Nope. She was a big troublemaker. She does not say, she orders. She was tiny but god so bossy!

Damien glanced up. “Mrs. Luna, what were her exact words?”

Mrs Luna paused, her lips twitching with the hint of a smile before she hesitantly quoted, “She said, 'Tell Damien to have his meal on time and wait fo

    As Anna had promised Damien she would be home by dinner, she made sure to be there on time. She asked Mrs. Luna, "Is Damien coming for dinner?" Mrs. Luna replied, "Master is in his study. He mentioned having an important conference scheduled. He might be a little late, but he'll be here."Anna smiled. "Okay, I will wait for him."Mrs. Luna then noticed Anna’s appearance. "Madam, how did you hurt yourself?" Anna was wearing a pink summer dress with spots of blood on it. "Your forehead is bruised. Why didn’t you go to the doctor? Please, sit here. Let me take care of it." She guided Anna to a chair and went to get the first aid kit. Mrs. Luna cleaned the wound and seeing it wasn’t too deep, she applied some medicine and a bandage. She treated Anna so gently that all the emotions Anna had been holding back throughout the day, especially the hurt from the Spencer family and their treatment came spilling out in hot and fat tears.Mrs. Luna asked, "Madam, is it hurting?"Anna cleared her st

    When the meeting ended, Damien and Abel arrived back to the company office and were also accompanied by Rowan. As they approached the lobby, they noticed Regina standing at the reception while filling out a form. Damien paused as she turned her head to look at them suddenly. Among the three friends, Rowan had always shared a closer bond with Regina and seeing her here made him happy instantly.“Hey, what are you doing here?” Rowan greeted her as his face lighting up with a wide smile.Regina responded softly, her gaze lingering on Damien for a moment. “I am here to apply for the competition.”“That is great!” Rowan exclaimed. “I’m certain you will win this! Your company is already doing fantastic work.” He turned towards Damien, his enthusiasm was at peak. “You already know the winner, Damien.”Damien simply stood there while saying nothing and maintaining his neutral expression. Abel stepped in with his curious and a little playful tone. “Regina, I don’t understand you. In this age o

    Behind Damien, Rowan and Abel were also standing and observing the scene. Rowan did not acknowledge Anna’s presence, and turned to Abel. "I’m getting late," he muttered, "See you soon."Once Rowan left, Abel stepped closer to Anna, his face brightening with a smile. "It’s great seeing you, partner." He enveloped her in a warm hug and added, "How long has it been? Almost a decade since we last met?"Anna returned the hug, her eyes softened at his old and kind attitude. "How are you, Abel?" she asked.Abel shrugged nonchalantly. "Well, I’m just surviving." He then gestured toward the door. "Care to join your old friend for a coffee?"Anna nodded without hesitation.They found themselves in a coffee shop nearby and sat at a secluded corner table. It had been years since they had seen each other. As they sipped their coffee, Anna said, "What’s up with Rowan?"Abel let out a long sigh, shaking his head. "Same old drama," he said. "Regina is still chasing Damien, and Damien, despite everythi

    “Damien Callahan! Get out of my room!” Damien snapped out of his stupor, still looking at her. His reaction was slow and dazed. She grabbed a pillow from the bed and threw it at him.“Get out!” She screamed.“Yeah…” Damien muttered as he walked out of the room, still in a daze.She quickly locked the door behind him, leaving Damien standing outside while he blinked in confusion. As he leaned against the wall, his mind unwillingly replayed what he had just seen. Her wet hair was framing her face while a droplet of water was trailing from the tip of her nose to her plump lips, before sliding down her chin, her neck and finally coming to rest on the curve of her chest. He took a deep breath, trying to steady himself. In high school, she had always been beautiful, but now she looked like Aphrodite herself. A warmth spread through his body, making him suddenly uncomfortable in his own skin. He tugged at his tie and unbuttoned his shirt collar, feeling the heat rising in him. He needed ai

    On the other hand, Ronan smiled with satisfaction as he looked at his watch. He wasn't going to let anyone help Anastasia Spencer. That woman should have thought twice before challenging Regina. He had pulled some strings to ensure that none of the companies Anastasia approached would support her. Across the entire country, no company was willing to back Anastasia Spencer.This was Anastasia's first defeat. If she thought she could come here and dream of defeating Regina, she was very wrong. Ronan Arnello would never let her win this time. It was Regina's time to shine.Meanwhile, on Damien's side..."Boss! She completed the formalities," the secretary announced.Damien walked over to see Anastasia's application details.

    “Where is Adeline?” Austin asked. “I have been calling her and she is not taking my call.”Anastasia shook her head in helplessness. Ah, Adeline. The trouble maker. She wondered what trouble the girl might have created again. When Austin became successful, Adeline knew that she had no pressure to do well in school. Austin was three years older than her and one day she announced that she was moving to France to achieve her dream of becoming a model. Both Anastasia and Austin were shocked to hear that she had such a dream because Adeline never talked about it. In the end, Adeline told them that she sucked in school and she had no talent to survive in this world. The only thing that she possessed was beauty. Extraordinary beauty and she would rather use it. Three years in Paris and Adeline became a model. Not a runway model but a commercial model. Adeline Kingsley is a well known celebrity not just in Europe but in the entire world with more than fifty million followers on social media

    Back at the mansion, it was dinner time. Anastasia was there to have a meal with Damien, and after that, she had to go to meet Austin. She needed a way to tell him that she would be leaving home at this time for an important meeting. Meanwhile, he was curious about how she managed to get A&A Fashion House behind her back. They were one of the biggest fashion and jewelry brands in Europe and were now rapidly expanding in North America. It was not easy for a no name artist to represent them. He always knew that she had some tricks upto her sleeves but what are they. She said, “I have a meeting soon. I need to go out.”He did not ask her where she was having such late night meeting. He nodded and asked about the matter that was pressing on his mind. “You submitted the application.”She said, “Yes, I did.” After a while, she could not help but asked him, “Damien, do you also think like others that I am doing this to gain your attention and unnecessarily fight with Regina or sabotage he

    Damien studied him for a moment before speaking. “I’m going to ask you something, and I need you to be honest with me. Can you do that?” Ronan opened his eyes, hesitant, but eventually nodded. “Do you love Regina? Not as a friend, but as a romantic partner?” Damien’s tone was firm and curious. “What?” Ronan looked startled. “Be honest, Ronan.” Ronan was quick to respond, his voice firm and sincere. “I don’t! I don’t see her that way at all. She is like the sister I never had. A little sister. I love her a lot, but not romantically.” He paused, his voice softening. “But she means the world to me. She has been there for me through everything, good and bad. She is someone I share my heart and soul with. Damien, I don’t love her as a romantic partner, but she is still my soulmate. I know it sounds strange, but it’s the truth.” Damien tilted his head while being intrigued. “If you marry someone in the future, how will you fit Regina into that dynamic?” Ronan met his gaze whi

    Damien arrived at an abandoned property on the outskirts of town. The place looked abandoned, the kind of place one would pass without a second glance. He walked up to the door and rang the bell. Once. Twice. Ten times. Finally, the door creaked open, revealing a dishevelled Ronan. “You look like shit,” Damien said, tossing a bottle of whiskey to him. Ronan caught it instinctively and rasped, “What are you doing here?” “Came to find you, asshole,” Damien replied, brushing past him to step inside. Oh, the inside of the house was not as bad as the inside. Someone had made it livable. Ronan, too exhausted to argue, stared at the bottle in his hands. “Are you gonna drink this?” Damien rolled his eyes. “Anna would kill me first before diabetes would kill me, if I did drink it.” Ronan chuckled dryly and asked, “Why are you so scared of your girlfriend?” Damien smirked. “Actually, she is my wife.” Ronan blinked, his momentary exhaustion was replaced by shock. “What… when?

    Mr. Arnello slammed his hand against the table, crashing the decorations to the floor. He was so angry and Delilah, who was used to his anger, did not flinch. “How dare she!” he roared, his fury directed at Anastasia Spencer and her father. The thought of being humiliated and forced to pay five million because of them burned like acid in his chest. “That crippled old man and his brat of a daughter, unbelievable!” “Matt!” Delilah’s voice cut through his tirade. He turned to her, his face twisted with anger. “Did you see what happened today?” “I did,” she said firmly, crossing her arms. “And maybe if you weren’t so biased, you would see the bigger picture too!” Matteo’s jaw clenched. “That little Spencer girl—” he began, his voice was a venomous snarl. “How dare she cause a rift between our families! She—” The shrill ring of the home phone interrupted him. Delilah moved to answer it, her face paled slightly as she listened to the voice on the other end. “Matt,” she said, h

    Back at Damien’s mansionWhen Damien arrived home, the house felt unusually quiet. Neither his wife nor Adeline was there. Mrs. Luna informed him that Anastasia hadn’t returned from the office yet, and Adeline had gone out for work. Left alone, he decided to head to the gym, where he found Caleb practicing the moves he had taught him during their last session.Atleast, someone was home. “Hey, buddy. When did you get here?” Damien asked, his voice warm. He had grown so accustomed to Caleb’s presence in his home that, without realizing it, he had embraced the role of a father figure. Caleb, for his part, already saw Anastasia as a mother. Finally, Caleb was keeping the fences around his heart down and letting these two people come inside. “I came after school,” Caleb replied with a shrug. “I missed you guys.” Damien suppressed a smile and nodded. “Alright, let’s practice some more.” As they worked out, Caleb paused and asked, “When will Anna and Addy be back?” Damien sighed, wi

    Eleanor scoffed, pulling out her phone. “I don’t care who your ‘Madam’ is!” She dialled quickly and said, “Daddy, please come. Someone is bullying me.” Within minutes, chaos erupted as Politician Scuderi arrived, followed by national commandos and an entourage of security. Alongside them, Mr. Arnello and his guards entered the scene with matching intensity. Delilah, watching from a distance, sighed deeply. This is about to turn into a massive mess, she thought, deciding once again to stay out of it. “Daddy, she has hurting my friend!” Eleanor whined, pointing a trembling finger at Anastasia, who still had a firm grip on Ceecee’s hair. Politician Scuderi’s expression darkened as he turned to Anastasia. “Young lady, release her now, or I will have you arrested!” Anastasia met his threat with cold defiance. “I dare you.” “Guards! Remove her this instant!” Mr. Arnello commanded. Martial artists emerged from the shadows and advanced toward Anastasia. But before they could rea

    “Anastasia Spencer?” “Mrs. Arnello?” Anastasia recognized her immediately. “You know Delilah?” Adeline asked, her tone curious. “She is Ronan’s mom,” Anastasia explained. “Oh…” Adeline’s expression shifted into something unreadable. Anastasia’s focus sharpened. “Did you say Eleanor Scuderi pushed you?” Adeline nodded, frustration was evident on her face. “Not directly. It was her sidekick. She deliberately knocked into me, and when I asked her to be careful, she flipped it around and blamed me. Then she started insulting me, calling me fat and even accusing me of sleeping with producers and directors to get jobs.” Anastasia’s fists clenched. “And then?” She was going to beat up those bitches for hurting her best friend. Adeline was not just her bestfriend but family. These days, she had been overly protected of Adeline too and if one danger come to the latter, Anna goes whole mom mode. Adeline’s voice hardened. “I slapped her. She deserved it. But then she shoved me ag

    Moments later, a middle-aged woman entered and noticed the young woman shivering in the corner. Concerned, she approached her carefully while kneeling down. “Are you okay?” she asked softly. Adeline looked up with tear-streaked eyes, unable to hold back her emotions. She didn’t know why, but in that moment, she missed Poppy and Austin so much. She also longed for Anastasia. She felt utterly shaken and vulnerable at this moment. The middle-aged woman placed a comforting hand on Adeline’s shoulder. “Child, are you okay?” she repeated gently. She saw that Adeline was not looking fine and as a woman, she felt that it was her duty to help a person in need. Overcome with emotion, Adeline clung to the woman’s leg while tears streaming down her face. With one arm, she hugged the woman’s leg tightly, while the other cradled her stomach protectively. Fear overwhelmed her. Why hadn’t she listened to her intuition and stayed home? She could have lost her baby just now. “Dear, are you with

    “Anna!” “Yes, Addy?” Anastasia replied as Adeline, who was in the living room, came looking for her best friend. Adeline said, “My agent just called me. She wants me to meet this client.” Anastasia frowned. “Didn’t you say you were not taking any projects for the time being?” Adeline muttered, “I wish, but my agent wants to utilize my time as much as possible. I mean, I have done a few projects that will be released by the end of this month. After that, I haven’t signed any contracts. You know how it is every day, there is someone more interesting and beautiful. I will be irrelevant by the end of my pregnancy if I am not active.” Anastasia nodded, understanding her situation. “I get your concerns. It would be so unfair if you had to leave your career because of your pregnancy. But the question is, do you want to announce your pregnancy? I have seen celebrities getting even more famous while pregnant.” Adeline sighed. “Anna, I have this bad feeling. If I tell more people abo

    Abel rubbed the back of his neck and continued, “I brought her to the Spencers’ home, but when I saw your car parked there, I knew she would snap. Seeing you and Anna together would break her completely, and that’s exactly what happened. She ran out, crying and falling apart.” Taking a deep breath, he added, “She begged me not to take her back to her place, so I didn’t. I took her to my apartment. We drank more while trying to drown it all out. And then…” Damien’s patience snapped. “Fuck you, Abel!” he yelled, his voice reverberating through the room. Anger and disbelief flashed within him as he stared at his friend while barely able to contain his frustration. Regina was the last woman on planet that he should have touched. Not because of his own equation with her because of the complications that surround her. Damien’s voice cut through the tension like a knife. “Have you completely lost your goddamn mind?
