As Thomas followed his son to the Patio. He saw how he looked around with nervousness.

"What happened? What do you want to talk about right now?" Thomas asked, looking at Damon.

"Dad, why are you doing this right now?" Damon said, staring at his dad.

Damon's voice was firm and he didn't look pleased with the decision that his dad took for him.

Damon is irritated and annoyed at his Dad. Because he is not sure why his Dad took or made such a decision without him asking even once.

"What did I do?" Thomas asked in a calm tone.

"Dad, What are you talking about in there? Marriage? With Riya? Are you fucking serious?" Damon asked, with wide eyes.

Damon was losing his calm with each second and Thomas wasn't helping him much.

"Yeah... Your marriage with Riya. What's there to be too shocked about this? You know, your mother and I liked Priya a lot." Thomas responded calmly.

"So what if you like her? Don't you think that I should like her too?" Damon questioned.

"You like Riya," Thomas said with a frown, as he stared at his son with a confused look he wasn't sure about what Damon just said.

"Dad... Don't be silly... Yeah, I like Riya. We are best friends." Damon signed.

"So, what's the point of talking about this? You like Riya and you know each other well enough. It's better if you guys get married." Thomas responded.

"Gosh... You are not getting me. I like Riya. Yes... But I have never seen her in a way I can share my life with! Not as my partner... Ever! " Damon said authoritatively.

"What are you talking about? Don't you love her?" Thomas shrugged.

"Come on, Dad... Why would I love Riya? She is just a close friend to me. Just like a best friend but... No, I don't love her just because we are close. We are not meant for each other, " Damon explained and continued.

"We have really different personalities. We are so different that neither one of us can settle down with our personalities."

Thomas just stood there looking at his son with his unbelievable expression. He is not sure why his Son is talking like that when he is sure that Damon gave mixed signals to Riya... Not only Riya but everyone loves Riya.

But now... He says that he doesn't love Riya.

"Damon, I think you should relax a bit and think about what you are talking about right now," Thomas suggested.

"No, Dad. There's nothing to think about right now. You aren't trying to understand me. I don't love Riya." Damon shouted.

Before Damon said anything else, Thomas furiously walked towards Damon and slapped him across his face, making Damon stumble back a bit.

"Dad!" Damon exclaimed, as he used his hand to rub the point his father slapped.

"Shut up!" Thomas said authoritatively, pointing his finger at Damon.

Damon's world just stopped for a second as his Dad slapped him furiously. It was all too sudden that he forgot the world around him existed.

"What do you think of yourself huh?" Thomas growled at his son.

"Dad…" Damon trilled off.

"You better don't call me that right now... If you don't want to get married to Riya." Thomas said, looking away from him.

"Dad, are you serious? I don't want to marry her. I have never seen Riya as my partner." Damon responded calmly, seeing his father's angry face.

"Will you just shut your mouth? Or do you want me to give you another slap, at least to reset your brain?" Thomas roared, as he turned to Damon, raising his hand.

Thomas walked towards Damon quickly looking around. Seeing none, he held Damon's collar and stared deadly into his eyes.

"Listen to me, Damon. I don't care if you see Riya as your partner or not. I don't care if you love her… or not! But, I want you to marry her… no matter what," Thomas said with his chest out.

"Do you get that into your head?" Thomas questioned with a sly smile, putting his finger toward Damon's head.

"How will I marry her when I have no feelings towards her?" Damon responded, tilting his head with a furrowed brow.

Damon was so stunned by his Dad's words. Damon always wanted to marry a girl of his choice but he never thought that his Dad would stop him from doing so. The girl he loves is Kylie and not Riya.

For the last five years, he dreamed of marrying Kylie. Not Riya. And now, Everything just turned upside down. He wanted to tell his Dad about Kylie and their relationship tonight but his Dad gave him the biggest surprise ever, the surprise he never expected.

"You will marry her, and that's the final," Thomas yelled at him.

"No, Dad. I won't. I will never marry Riya when I don't love her. Because it's us... Who is gonna suffer in the future." Damon maintained his calmness, as he tried to let his father reason the way he did.

"You won't suffer. Because this decision is the best decision ever I am taking for you. Riya loves you. You will get feelings towards her eventually." Thomas assured him.

"How, Dad? How will I get feelings towards her when I don't really want her to be that person who I want to share my life with?" Damon said with a raised brow.

"Look, I and your mom got married because our parents want us to marry. We didn't love each other before... But then, we eventually have you and your brother. " Mr. Thomas said, patting his shoulder.

Damon couldn't process what his father just said.

"Eventually had me and my brother? What does that mean? You still don't... Love... Mom?” He asked with narrowed eyes.

Tears were slowly rolling around in Damon's eyes. His heart was beating so fastly. His breathing got heavy and he clenched his fist.

Damon knew very well that his father doesn't love his mother... He saw how they both used to fight with each other always when they were kids... As Damon and his brother grew up, the fights got less.

Damon remembered when his mother told him how much she loves his Dad and how much his Dad loves his mother. But, he didn't know... She was... Lying.

"You don't love... Mom?" Damon asked, in a calm voice, blinking the tears in his eyes away as he looked at his father with a frown and he continued.

"Tell me, do you ever love mom?”

Damon's voice increased a bit this time as he suddenly held his Dad's shirt collar and looked straight into his eyes.

This is the second time he ever looked into Thomas's eyes so deadly. He never thought this day would come but it did...

The first time he ever held his Dad collar is because of Kylie's father... And now, Today again, he had to do it because of his mother.

"Tell me... You don't!" Damon voiced, maintaining eye contact with his father.

"I don't!" Thomas yelled, and pushed Damon away from him, making him stumble back a few steps.

Damon was just shocked, standing there as a tear rolled down from his eye, shaking from what he just heard from his father.

"You got your answer. I don't love her. But, still... We are living together. Life goes on. Yours will go on too."

"So, you better be ready to marry Riya," Thomas said authoritatively, as he took a step back.

    Thomas was pacing up and down as he thought of how to convince him that there is nothing wrong with marrying Riya. He looked at his son, who was crying from the news he just heard from him."You can't expect life to always treat you well. Remember that." Thomas stated and he continued."Life was not good for us too... Until Riya's Father helped us up... If it's not for him, we won't have been here. You need to be grateful for Arthur and marry his daughter Riya,"Damon just stood like that listening to him without looking up at Thomas and he swallowed hard and he cleaned his face with his hand."You know what Arthur is capable of doing to our companies and our lives if you say no to the marriage with Riya,""So, You better come inside and say yes to the wedding with Riya.

    "Ummm... Wait... Wait..." Riya said as she put her hands on his chest and slightly pushed him away, breaking the kiss. Damon frowned looking at her hoping that she would suddenly say something about the marriage or something like she did not care about him anymore but he knew at this moment that all his wishes were just a dream due to her actions. Riya loves him more than anything and therefore she would alter such words, she would marry him just like that. "What’s wrong?" Damon asked confusingly, frowning his eyes. Riya, who was a bit blushing, answered him carelessly without even minding her words. "How can you be so calm right now, Damon? And how can you ask me so calmly, what’s wrong?" Riya asked, chuckling. "Huh?" Damon blinked his eyes, looking at her calmly. "Did you really agree to marry me?" Riya asked with her eyes wide as she could not control her excitement in her. Damon could see the excitement on her face and how her eyes shined with love looking at him. How can

    "So, how about arranging the wedding this week?" Thomas asked."Why are you so hurried? Do you really think weddings can be arranged in a week? We don’t even have a week." Cathy asked, shrugging."Cathy, they love each other. I don’t see any reason to delay the wedding." Thomas answered. "But—" Thomas cut Cathy off mid-sentence as he shook his head at her."Okay..." Cathy said and Thomas turned towards Arthur."What do you say, Arthur?" Thomas asked."Well... I don’t see any reason to delay it either. But this week... I am not sure…" Arthur trailed off as he saw Riya walking inside with a bright smile on her face and Damon following behind her."Riya..." Arthur called getting up from the couch."My Princess. Are you good?" Arthur asked looking at her and then looked at Damon who stopped on his way a few steps away from them."Of course, Dad. I am good." Riya answered with a shy smile and Arthur raised his eyebrows at her with a smirk. She chuckled and hugged her Dad."He loves me to

    "WHAT?" Kylie shouted getting up from the couch and the coffee mug slipped from her hand. It scratched into pieces and the maid ran out of the kitchen. "What did you just say?" Kylie shouted once again."Yes, Ms. Madison. She has been admitted to the hospital right now." The person on the other side of the phone answered."How? What happened to her? Is she okay?" Kylie asked, tears rolling in her eyes."She is in the emergency room. The doctors are still checking on her." The person answered."Share with me the hospital location immediately. I am coming." Kylie yelled on the phone."Alright." The person replied and ended the call."Get the car ready," Kylie yelled at the maid."Yes, Ma'm."

    Damon sipped on his drink looking at their picture on his phone. They were together in the picture. It came out really so beautiful where Kylie was looking at the camera and Damon was kissing her cheek. "I'm sorry, Kylie. I am really sorry. I can't do anything about this. I had to do this for myself." Damon said as tears blurred his eyes. "I am selfish... I know that. But, this is the only way to save my business. I really hope you forgive me." Damon said to himself looking at their picture."I wish... I can say sorry to you but, I have no face to show up in front of you." Damon said as he kept his phone on the bar table and gulped down the whole glass of whiskey. He poured another glass of whiskey into his glass and was about to gulp it down but suddenly, his phone rang. He grabbed his phone and his eyes widened looking at Kylie's name on the screen. Immediately, His hands shook and he left the phone. He again grabbed his glass and gulped the saliva down his throat.He stared a

    "I don't know why Damon he's not answering his phone," Henry said to Sarah who looked worried."Did you call him with your phone too, right?" Sarah asked."Yes, I did call him with hers and mine. But he is not answering our calls." Henry answered, sighing."He must be busy with something," Sarah replied."He might be. He will call us when he is free. Don't worry." Henry said. "I am worried about him but I'm worried about this girl. She kept crying for the past 30 minutes. I thought, maybe if Damon is here... He will be able to make her stop." Sarah replied, watching Kylie from a distance who sat on the couch, crying, keeping her hands on her forehead. "I did try to talk to her but she isn't listening to me. My heart hurts seeing her crying. She is too emotional when it comes to her mother. I have never seen her like this otherwise." Sarah said, taking a deep breath and Henry nodded his head. "She is the strongest girl I have ever known. But seeing her like this breaks my heart too.

Kylie asked standing a little away from her. "You better tell me why are you here?" Olivia shouted and coughed."Mom... Please... Don’t stress yourself." Kylie said as she ran towards her.

Damon said growling and got up from the bed. He opened the cupboard from his bedside table and took an aspirin and gulped it down with some water.

Damon asked himself and dailed to the telephone to Kylie’s mansion.He waited patiently until the telephone is answered and prayed that Kylie shouldn’t answer the call."Hello, Ms. Madison Mansion.

    In her eyes, Kylie deserved justice, compassion, and relief from the pain she had endured. The weight of the realization settled heavily upon Riya—she had become the reason behind Damon's coerced marriage, the very reason Kylie continued to suffer. It was an unbearable truth that gnawed at her conscience, leaving her grappling with a mix of emotions.Conflicting feelings swirled within Riya, making it difficult for her to discern her true sentiments towards Damon. Disgust, hate, and pity intertwined, creating a complex tapestry of emotions. She couldn't shake off the fact that she had invested her life and love in a man who, despite not being directly responsible for the murder, carried the guilt of causing Kylie's profound loss. The realization struck her deeply, leaving her questioning the choices she had made and the path she had pursued. It was a bitter pill to swallow, knowing that she had dedicated herself to a man entangled in such a heart-wrenching situation.Riya's emotions w

    Her own father, the man she had loved first and foremost, who had once opened her eyes to the wonders of the world, had played a sinister role in her life. Not only had he coerced Damon into marrying her, but he had also concealed the dark secret that her beloved husband was a murderer. The weight of these revelations crashed upon Riya like a relentless storm, leaving her mind in a tumultuous whirlwind of emotions.The mere mention of Damon's name now carried a sinister undertone. He was her love, her husband, and yet the label of "murderer" haunted her every thought. Confusion and disbelief swirled in her mind, as she struggled to reconcile the image of the man she adored with the horrifying truth he had concealed.Despite knowing Damon's true feelings for Kylie, Asher remained silent when he discovered that Damon had chosen to marry Riya instead. His silence cut deep, leaving Riya grappling with a sense of betrayal from someone she had considered a confidant.In this complex labyrin

    Damon's voice was barely above a whisper as he finally responded. "I know, Asher. I messed up. I realize that now," he admitted, his voice heavy with remorse. The pain in his words mirrored the torment he felt within. He had witnessed Kylie's anguish, yet he remained silent, fearing the loss of her love. He understood the magnitude of his selfishness and the consequences it had brought upon them all.Asher's eyes narrowed, his frustration palpable. He seized the opportunity to voice the overwhelming disappointment he felt towards his brother. "You are selfish, Damon," he declared, his words biting with a mix of accusation and bitter truth. "You wanted her love, so you kept silent. Then you wanted to maintain your social standing, respect, and connections, so you went ahead and married Riya. If you truly loved her, you would have gone to her and confessed everything. She deserved at least that, to know that you were an honest person willing to accept your mistakes instead of running aw

    Damon, driven by his desperation to be understood, sought to clarify his intentions. Rising from the floor, he pleaded earnestly, his voice tinged with remorse and sincerity. "No, Asher, it's the truth. I truly do love her. The death of her father was an accident, a tragic twist of fate. How could I intentionally harm someone, especially the father of the woman I hold so dear? And as for Riya, I was coerced into marrying her. It wasn't my choice. Please, Asher, I beg you to believe me. Give me a chance to explain myself, to shed light on the circumstances that led to this tangled web of deceit," Damon implored, his eyes searching Asher's face for a glimmer of trust and understanding.As Asher sat there, his mind drifted back to the day he decided to confront Damon about his actions. It was a day filled with anger, confusion, and a desperate need for answers. The incident that had driven a wedge between them had been haunting Asher's thoughts ever since, and now was the time to seek th

    Ashton, on the periphery of this tense exchange, lets out a bitter chuckle. The bitterness that tinges his laughter reflects the bitter truth they all face—a truth that Asher refuses to accept. The room becomes a pressure cooker, the weight of their actions and the consequences they seek to avoid bearing down upon them with an unyielding force.Asher's voice trembles with a potent mix of anger, frustration, and disappointment as he confronts his father's callousness. His words cut through the air like shards of ice, each syllable carrying the weight of his deep-seated resentment."You are cruel beyond measure," Asher's voice drips with a bitter disdain, his words laced with venom. He had hoped, even for a fleeting moment, that his father would acknowledge Kylie's pain in his self-serving monologue. Yet, Thomas's omission fuels Asher's righteous indignation. He lays bare the painful reality that Kylie has been forced to endure—the loss of her father, her mother's misguided blame, and t

    Ashton's control snaps, his pent-up frustration and anger erupting like a volcano. Without hesitation, he delivers a powerful punch to Damon's stomach, the impact causing Damon to double over in excruciating pain. But Ashton's rage refuses to abate. Blow after blow rains down upon his brother, a relentless torrent of punches, each one driving Damon closer to the edge of surrender.Damon crumples under the onslaught, collapsing to the floor, his body wracked with coughs that splatter crimson droplets upon the ground. Helpless and broken, he offers no resistance, accepting the punishment as a grim penance for his transgressions. In this moment, he feels a twisted sense of relief, as if the physical pain inflicted by his own brother is a tangible representation of the pain he has caused others.Meanwhile, Thomas, a passive observer, watches the scene unfold with a mix of annoyance and detachment. He rolls his eyes, seemingly unimpressed by the spectacle of violence before him. His noncha

He yearns to lash out, to demand answers, but the weight of the situation paralyzes him. He feels trapped, unable to decipher what course of action to take next.All the while, he can't shake the thought of Kylie, his one and only love, who had endured the wrath of their father's blame all this time. It dawns on him that she suffered unjustly, her reputation tarnished by a mistake that wasn't hers to bear.Overwhelmed by the realization of the depth of Kylie's sacrifice, Asher's heart fills with a profound mix of remorse and empathy.

    Damon's actions, which included hiding the truth from Kylie, breaking her heart, and now attempting to undermine her in the business realm, appeared to Asher as a deliberate attempt to bring her down. However, he knew deep down that Kylie possessed an innate intelligence and resilience that made her difficult to defeat in such a manner.Confusion and conflicted emotions swirled within Asher. He grappled with the complexity of the situation, torn between loyalty to his family and the undeniable bond he felt with Kylie. As the truth continued to be shrouded in secrecy, he couldn't help but wonder how these tangled threads would ultimately unravel. Thomas exuded an unwavering certainty, firmly convinced that Kylie harbored ulterior motives and would stop at nothing to achieve her own ends.

The sheer audacity of his own father, manipulating the truth and implicating Damon in a crime that he himself had committed, left him dumbfounded and emotionally battered.The weight of this revelation bore down on Damon, the realization sinking deep into his bones. How could his own flesh and blood be so conniving, so capable of inflicting unspeakable harm on others, even after enduring their own profound pain? It was a maddening thought that gnawed at Damon's consciousness, leaving him questioning his very existence and the depths of human depravity.Meanwhile, Asher found himself immersed in a sea of bewilderment, desperately trying to make sense of the perplexing puzzle
