My Father's Rival Is My Lover Chapter 8
The soft glow of the city lights shimmered against the large windows of Damon’s penthouse. Cassie curled her fingers around the warm ceramic mug in her hands, the rich aroma of coffee filling the air. She still couldn’t believe how the past twenty-four hours had played out.She glanced toward the living room, where Damon leaned against the fireplace, his sleeves rolled up, revealing the strong lines of his forearms. He looked at her with an unreadable expression, his dark eyes filled with something she wasn’t sure she was ready to name.“I still can’t believe it,” she whispered. “That Steele just… walked away.”Damon’s lips curled into a smirk. “He had no choice. We backed him into a corner.”Cassie shook her head in disbelief. “You did all of this for my father’s company?”Damon’s expression darkened slightly. “I did it for you, Cassie. And I’d do it again.”A shiver ran down her spine, but she forced herself to focus. She wasn’t ready to unpack the weight of those words. Instead, sh

Cassie’s heart pounded as she stood on the balcony of Damon’s penthouse, the cool night air brushing against her skin. The city sparkled below, a sea of lights stretching endlessly. But her thoughts weren’t on the breathtaking view. They were on Damon. On what they had done. On what they had become.She had kissed him. No, she had surrendered to him.And it wasn’t just a fleeting moment of passion. It was something deeper. Something undeniable.She turned her head slightly, catching sight of him through the reflection in the glass doors. Damon stood inside, his suit jacket discarded, the top buttons of his shirt undone, revealing the hard lines of his chest. His hands were tucked into his pockets, but his gaze was locked onto her, intense, unreadable.Cassie swallowed hard. She had spent so much time fighting him, resisting what was between them. But standing here now, the weight of everything they had been through pressing on her, she wasn’t sure she had the strength to fight anymore

Cassie’s heart pounded as she stared at the invitation in her hands. A gala hosted by none other than Richard Steele. It was a calculated move, a silent challenge. Steele wouldn’t have invited Monroe Industries or anyone associated with it unless he had something planned. And Cassie knew, deep down, that she and Damon had to be there.“Are you sure about this?” Damon asked, his sharp eyes scanning the gold-embossed envelope. His voice was calm, but Cassie could sense the tension beneath his exterior.“I don’t see a choice,” she murmured. “Steele wouldn’t do this unless he had a reason. We need to find out what it is.”Damon exhaled and leaned back against the couch, his fingers drumming against his knee. “Fine. But we go in together. And we leave together.”Cassie bit her lip. “You don’t have to”He silenced her with a look. “Cassie, I told you before. I’m not letting you face this alone.”A warmth spread through her chest, but she pushed it aside. They had bigger things to worry abou

Cassie barely had time to process the heated conversation with her father before Damon pulled her aside into the privacy of his car. The city lights reflected against the sleek black windows, casting a dim glow over his chiseled face. He had that look again the one that told her he was already ten steps ahead.“We can’t let Vanessa win,” Cassie murmured, pressing her fingers against her temple. “She wants to destroy everything.”Damon’s jaw tensed as he placed his hand on the steering wheel, his fingers flexing against the leather. “She’s trying to play us, but she doesn’t realize she’s stepping into my territory now.”Cassie glanced at him, her pulse quickening at the edge in his voice. “What do you have in mind?”Damon smirked, his eyes darkening. “If Vanessa Sinclair wants a war, she just got one.”He shifted gears and pulled onto the road, his movements sharp and precise. Cassie had spent most of her life fighting battles on her own, but with Damon at her side, it felt different l

Cassie stood frozen at the edge of the ballroom, her pulse fluttering like butterfly wings in her chest. The chandeliers cast a golden hue across the room, glittering off the crystal flutes and sequined gowns, but her eyes were fixed on one man Damon.He looked devastating in his midnight black tuxedo, tall and commanding as always, but there was something different in his eyes tonight. Something unspoken. Something unresolved.Their encounter in the rain replayed in her mind like a dream she couldn’t wake from his words, his kiss, the warmth of his hands on her skin. Every time she closed her eyes, she felt the way he had held her like she was the only thing grounding him.Now, here they were, once again forced into the same space because of their fathers’ business merger gala. Cassie hadn’t wanted to come. She told herself it was because she hated these pretentious events. But deep down, she knew it was because seeing Damon again might tear her apart."You're here," a voice murmured

Cassie turned to face him fully, her heart pounding against her ribs like a wild drum. The scent of old paper and wood surrounded them, wrapping them in a cocoon of memory and hope.“You’re asking me to take a huge risk,” she whispered, her voice trembling.“I know,” Damon said, stepping closer until there was barely any space between them. “But you’re worth it. We’re worth it.”Cassie closed her eyes, breathing him in. Everything about this felt reckless, dangerous but also right. Like the universe had spent years pulling them apart only to slam them back together in the most chaotic way.“I don’t want to lose you again,” she admitted.“You won’t.”Slowly, she opened her eyes. Damon’s gaze locked onto hers with a fierce determination that sent shivers down her spine. He cupped her face gently, brushing his thumb across her cheek.“I’m not my father,” he said. “And you’re not yours. We make our own choices.”She leaned into his touch, desperate and scared and exhilarated all at once.

The silence stretched painfully between them. Cassie’s heart pounded so loudly she could hear it in her ears.Her father’s face flushed an angry red. “Cassie, you don’t know what you’re doing.”Charles Blackwood’s lips curled in disgust. “This is foolishness. You're risking everything for what? A fling?”Cassie stood tall, her fingers tightening around Damon’s hand. She wouldn’t let them intimidate her anymore.“This isn’t a fling,” she said, her voice calm but firm. “I love Damon. And he loves me.”Damon nodded without hesitation, his thumb brushing reassuringly across her knuckles.“We’re not asking for your blessing,” Damon added, his voice hard. “We’re informing you.”Richard Langston stepped forward, lowering his voice in a way that was far more threatening than if he had shouted.“You're my daughter. You think you can throw away everything I’ve built for you? For him?” He sneered. “You don’t even know what real life is, Cassie.”Cassie’s chest tightened, but she forced herself t

Cassie stretched out on the bed, the warm morning sun dancing across the white sheets. She watched as Damon pulled on his shirt, the muscles in his back flexing with each movement. A lazy smile played on her lips.“You know,” she said, voice still husky from sleep, “you’re making it very hard to leave this bed.”Damon turned, his tie dangling from his fingers, a mischievous glint in his eyes. “That’s the idea.”She laughed, pushing herself upright. “We have meetings today, Mr. Turner. Big, important meetings.”He tossed the tie aside and climbed back into bed, capturing her mouth in a kiss that made her toes curl.“Meetings can wait,” he murmured against her lips.Cassie surrendered for a moment, lost in the feel of him, the taste of him. But reality tugged at her, and she pulled back, albeit reluctantly.“If we’re late, the board will have our heads,” she said, breathless.Damon sighed dramatically. “Fine. But you owe me later.”She arched a brow. “Oh, I’ll make it up to you.”His gr

Cassie tapped her pen against her desk, staring out of the large window overlooking the city. Spring had come in full bloom, casting the skyline in golden light. From her office at Turner-Langston Enterprises, she could see the entire city they had once fought so hard to conquer.Life was good, almost too good.Their foundation was thriving, helping hundreds of young entrepreneurs and single mothers. Their businesses were expanding globally. Hope was growing into a spirited, fearless little girl.And yet, Cassie couldn't shake the feeling that something was missing.Damon stepped into her office, his tie loose around his neck, a boyish grin on his face.“Working late again, Mrs. Turner?” he teased.Cassie smiled, standing to meet him. “Guilty as charged, Mr. Turner.”He closed the door behind him and crossed the room, wrapping his arms around her waist.“You know,” he murmured against her temple, “we could always take a vacation. Italy? Greece? Anywhere you want.”Cassie leaned into h

The world slowed down for Cassie and Damon after Hope’s birth.The busy city, the clamor of deals, the endless meetings all of it faded into the background. Their days were now measured in feedings, diaper changes, tiny coos, and sleepy smiles. Their nights, once filled with glittering galas and power plays, were now quiet moments spent rocking Hope back to sleep.Cassie sat in the nursery one afternoon, the soft pastel walls glowing in the gentle light. Hope dozed against her chest, her tiny fist curled around one of Cassie’s fingers.Damon entered quietly, a warm smile on his face as he crossed the room.“How’s my two favorite girls?” he whispered, crouching down beside the rocking chair.Cassie looked up at him, her heart feeling too big for her chest. “Perfect. She’s perfect.”Damon brushed a kiss against Hope’s forehead, then leaned in to kiss Cassie too.“I still can’t believe we made her,” he said, wonder in his voice.Cassie laughed softly. “Best thing we’ve ever done.”Hope s

Snowflakes fell softly around Cassie and Damon as they strolled hand-in-hand through the park. The city glowed under a blanket of white, and laughter echoed from ice skaters gliding across the frozen pond nearby.Cassie smiled up at Damon, feeling like she was living inside a dream.“I used to hate winter,” she said, squeezing his hand. “It always felt cold and lonely.”Damon glanced down at her, his dark eyes warm. “And now?”“Now,” she said, stepping closer to him, “it feels magical.”He stopped walking, pulling her against him. “That’s because we made it ours.”Cassie rested her head against his chest, listening to the steady beat of his heart. It still amazed her how easily he had become her home.“How about we make another memory tonight?” Damon suggested.She tilted her head back. “What do you have in mind?”His grin was boyish and irresistible. “Come with me.”Twenty minutes later, Cassie found herself standing in front of an old stone chapel tucked away in the heart of the cit
