Chapter 064 BIGGEST OPS

Leah's POV

As soon as Aiden stormed out, I collapsed back onto my desk, overcome with emotion, and burst into tears.

What have I done?! The memory of Damien's stricken face, etched with pain and rejection, sears my mind like a branding iron.

I didn't mean to hurt him so much, but my sharp words cut deep. Now I feel terrible and can't catch my breath. Seeing the pain in his eyes makes me feel a strong sadness inside, like a deep wound that's growing bigger.

I'm consumed by a forbidden empathy, a mercy I shouldn't be offering to Damian. He may not have kidnapped the children, but I witnessed his brutal act, the way he nearly took the life of an innocent child.

That moment is etched in my memory, a constant reminder of his capacity for cruelty. Yet, despite everything, I find myself wavering, my heart inclined to show him a compassion he doesn't deserve.

He's guilty, And because of that, he doesn't deserve a single tear from me. Whatever punishment or pain comes his way, he's earned it
