Damien

I leaned my back against the wall, tilting my head indifferently as I watched the scene unfold. My gaze darted between the two girls who looked utterly humiliated, and the man who was pale, shaken, his fury barely contained. And then, there was her—walking away with a calm, unbothered grace that was almost… mesmerizing.

She moved through the crowd with her head held high, completely unaffected by the commotion she’d left everyone in.

A faint smile tugged at the corner of my mouth, an unfamiliar sense of interest flickering to life as I watched her go.

Interesting.

When my private jet malfunctioned, I had to book an entire plane to return back to the USA. I had no idea I would be entertained.

I allowed myself a moment to study her as she walked away, her back straight, movements calm and nonchalant. Who would have thought my rival's younger sister would be this interesting.

"Mr. Damien," a voice interrupted my thoughts. My assistant, Jason, stood beside me, his ey

    The room seemed to grow colder, the weight of his words settling like a stone in my chest. I didn’t move, didn’t react, I was too stunned to speak. The whole world seemed to blur around me. What? I must have heard wrong. He's dying? Dying? What kind of stupid statement was that? Was this another attempt of his to set me up with another woman? If this was a joke, I swear to God, no one would be laughing after this. “Say that again.” I growled, my tone sharper than I intended. “I’m not in the mood for jokes.” “Damien,” he began, taking a deep breath, his gaze shifting to the family portrait on the wall—the one taken years ago, before the accident that changed our lives. When he looked back at me, his eyes were tired, almost haunted. “I'm not joking. I'm sick. I don't have much time left. And I can't leave this world knowing you have nobody by your side. This is my last wish, and I hope you can grant me before my death.” I frowned, something unsettling stirring at the back of my

    Aurora “Lord” I muttered, looking down at my plate, already piled high with food, yet my mother’s hand appeared once again, a new dish in tow. “Here, eat more.” She insisted, her voice cheerful, as she placed another serving of casserole on my plate. “Mom,” I said, laughing softly. “I already have enough to feed a small army. I'm good.” She waved her hand dismissively, moving on to the boys, who were already looking wide-eyed at their plates. “Nonsense! The boys are growing. They need more strength!” She ladled another spoonful of mashed potatoes onto each of their plates. “If you told me you were coming earlier than expected, I would have prepared everything for you in advance. I told the chefs to prepare what little they had.” Are you kidding me? This was little? Back in London, the boys and I only ate a quarter of what was on the table. “Grandma,” Finn mumbled, casting me a helpless look. “I don’t think I can eat all of this.” “Sweetheart!” she replied, ruffling his

    Aurora I hopped out of my car with an apple wedged between my teeth, practically sprinting towards the front doors of the hospital. My mother had been relentless this morning, shoving breakfast plates at me with that classic guilt-inducing “you need to eat more” look. I had to tell her to wake the boys up and feed them instead. I barely managed to escape after grabbing the apple, feeling her gaze burning into my back as I fled. Sorry boys. I had to use you both in order to escape. But, it was worth it. The massive hospital loomed before me, all sleek glass and steel, and I tried to make myself look halfway composed as I approached. I was supposed to start work last week—the day after I arrived. But my mother was so adamant about me resting with the boys that I had to stay home for a few more days, which I really didn't like. “Hello, do you know where my office is?” Still chewing on the apple, I nodded a quick greeting to the receptionist. She looked at me excitedly, as if she

  • The Billionaire Heiress Revenge comback    19| Why is he looking at me like that?

    Dark, piercing eyes looked down at me, framed by a sharp jawline. He was tall, easily a head taller than me. His face was… well, there was no other way to say it—beautiful. Strong brows, high cheekbones. He looked as though he had been carved by God. And then there was his scent. A mix of something crisp and dark, like cedarwood with a hint of spice—warm, grounding. It was intoxicating, like nothing I’d ever smelled before, and it left me feeling oddly unsteady. I swallowed, trying to gather my thoughts, but my brain seemed to have short-circuited. Great. Of all the people I could collide with, I had to pick the Greek god lookalike. He looked down at where my hand had brushed against his arm. Shock flickered across his face, like he’d just experienced something completely foreign. His grip on my waist, which had been steadying me tightened. Why is he looking at me like that? I quickly pulled back, feeling a blush rise to my cheeks. “Oh, I’m so sorry! I didn’t see you,” I sai

    Damien “Better find a wife, Damien. I need a daughter-in-law within the month. I don’t care how you do it. I want a grandchild to brag about to my friends.” My grandfather’s words echoed relentlessly in my mind, even as I tried to push them away. I sighed, running a hand through my hair. What a difficult old man. He was acting as if a wife and child could be procured with a snap of my fingers. My plan had been straightforward: strike a deal with Ezra so his sister would be the one to operate on my grandfather. I trusted few people, and even fewer doctors, but she had a reputation that rivaled anyone in the industry. The best of the best. It was supposed to be a negotiation. I would ensure everything went smoothly, control every aspect. But as it turned out, she had already volunteered to handle the surgery before I could even approach Ezra. I leaned back against the wall of the elevator, my hands resting casually in my pockets, barely listening to Jason as he rattled off deta

    Aurora “Tell me, Dr. Aurora… are you married?” The question left me speechless. For a moment, I just stared at him, unsure how to respond. Of all the things he could’ve asked, this was not what I had expected. I hesitated, glancing at him, his playful grin making it clear he had no intention of letting the question go unanswered. His secretary, who had been standing quietly behind him, looked just as surprised as I felt. “Uh…no, I’m not married,” I finally answered. A wild grin spread across his face at my answer. “Good, good. So you don't have any man in your life? No, it's fine even if you do. You can break up with him.” I glanced at him briefly, the corner of my mouth twitching into a small, amused smile. “Mr. Russo, is there a reason you’re asking me this?” His face lit up, suddenly full of energy as he leaned forward slightly. “Yes. I want to introduce you to someone. He’s a good match for you. Smart, successful, comes from a respectable family…a little bit grumpy but yo

    Aurora “No?” Leo repeated, raising an eyebrow as he leaned back in his chair. “Why not?”“I just… I was thinking I might go with you instead,” Noah said quickly, his words slightly rushed.Leo frowned, tilting his head in confusion. “You? I asked you last week, and you said you were too busy. What’s with the sudden change of heart?”Noah hesitated, glancing at me briefly before looking back at Leo. “I just thought it’d be a good opportunity to, you know, network. And maybe keep an eye on you.”Leo smirked, clearly not buying it. “Keep an eye on me? Please, Noah, I’ve been to dozens of conferences without you playing babysitter.”“The answer is still no.”I furrowed my brows, looking at Noah “Since when do you care who I go to a conference with, Noah?”Noah exhaled sharply, avoiding my gaze as he picked up his drink. “I just think it’s better if I go. That’s all.”Yeah, right. He was the type of person who couldn't hide his feelings. He could never fool me. There was definitely someth

My hands tightened around the steering wheel. Before I had the chance to process anything, a truck slammed Into my car, the impact sending it spinning. Glass shattered everywhere, slicing into my arms and face. My head hit the window hard, and everything started to blur. I hit the surface with a splash, the force knocking the breath out of me. The water rushed in through the broken windows, soaking everything. The water around me had turned blood red. I gasped, choking on water as it flooded my mouth and nose. My chest burned as I fought for air, my hands fumbling with the seatbelt. No, no. I had to get out of here. I don't want to die. My boys, mother, Noah and Ezra were waiting for me at home. I had people waiting for me at home! Someone please help me. Then I saw it. High above, standing

    Aurora I stared at him, at those impossibly dark eyes that seemed to pierce right through me, at the sharp, sculpted features of his face. The man sat so casually in front of me, one leg crossed over the other, his arms resting lazily on the armrests of his chair, like he owned not just the room, but the whole damn world. His gaze was fixed squarely on me, and there was an air of lazy amusement around him—as if he was thoroughly enjoying my discomfort. “You have to take responsibility, Ms. Aurora,” he had said just a moment ago, his deep, slow voice pulling me into some kind of vortex. Responsibility? Me? Take responsibility? For what? I frowned, confusion written all over my face as I sat frozen in my chair. Why would I need to take responsibility? I didn’t do anything……that drastic. Right? My gaze involuntarily lowered, he was wearing a crisp white shirt now, the kind that looked absurdly expensive. But the faint red marks trailing along the base of his throat was

    Aurora I woke up to a pounding headache, my temples throbbing with a relentless ache that made me groan softly. My throat was parched, every swallow dry and scratchy, as though I’d spent the entire night screaming. But worse, there was this heat—this strange, pulsing warmth coursing through my body, as if I were burning from the inside out. “What time is it? Am I late for work?” I muttered groggily, barely able to form a coherent thought. My hand instinctively reached toward my bedside table, groping around for my phone. But it wasn’t there. I frowned, still too dazed to think clearly. My hand moved in circles over the smooth, empty surface. No lamp. No stack of documents I’d left the night before. No phone. What the hell. With a soft groan, I opened my eyes, though they were still heavy with exhaustion, and blinked against the dim light of the room. The ceiling above me wasn’t mine—black, sleek, and unfamiliar. Wait a minute. I sat up slowly, my body aching in strang

    Damien Damien The sleek black car rolled up to the front of my estate, its tires crunching softly against the gravel.The car came to a stop, and Jason stepped out first, moving quickly to open the back door. I glanced down at the woman, her head resting on my lap as if it were some kind of pillow. I didn’t wait for him to offer assistance; I shifted the doctor in my arms, her body nestled against me, fast asleep. She stirred slightly, her soft breath warm against my neck as she unconsciously snuggled closer into my chest.I stepped out of the car, the cool night air brushing against my face, and walked toward the entrance. The bodyguards stood at attention outside, their postures rigid, their gazes forward as though they hadn’t just seen their employer cradling a woman in his arms, but I could sense their curiosity in the way their heads remained perfectly forward, too still to be natural.When I entered the house, the muted gasps of the staff greeted me. The maids exchanged glanc

    Damien“I’m so horny. I want you.”Her words hit me like a jolt of electricity, my grip tightening on her waist as I froze in place. I flicked my gaze towards the rearview mirror. The driver’s eyes widened slightly, his gaze darting away as if pretending he hadn’t heard. Without a word, I reached for the partition controls and pressed the button. The glass slid up slowly, separating us from the front of the car.“Mr. Elevator…” she murmured, her tone filled with desire as she leaned closer to me.I turned to her, my face impassive as always, though my mind was racing inside.The flush on her cheeks, the glazed look in her eyes, the way she was pressed against my body—I was losing control.No, I had to resist. I could not lose control. Not now. Not ever. Not like that night.Her hand reached for me, but before she could touch me, I grabbed her by the waist, lifting her with ease and placing her firmly in the seat beside me.“Stay,” I said sharply, my tone cold and commanding.But she

    Damien “I won’t allow you to take her, Damien. I don’t trust her with you.” For a second, I didn’t respond. I just stared at him, my anger simmering just beneath the surface. The audacity. The sheer arrogance. Does he think he has nine lives? Because I’m about to make sure he only has one left—and barely at that. “Let go,” I said, my tone flat and dangerously low. My patience was hanging by a thread, and I didn’t bother hiding it. Alexander didn’t move. His grip tightened slightly, as if he thought he could stop me. “I mean it,” he said. “You don’t care about people, Damien. She needs help, not whatever cold indifference you plan to throw her way. You can’t take care of anyone—that’s just who you are. If you take her, you’ll destroy her.” I arched an eyebrow, amusement flickering in my gaze. “That's rich coming from you.” I titled my head slightly. “When you’re the one who started all this in the first place. You create something stupid and let others face the consequences

    DamienI sat in the private lounge on the second floor, legs crossed as I leaned back in the leather chair, my gaze fixed on the scene below. The ballroom stretched out before me, a sea of glittering dresses, sharp suits, and champagne glasses sparkling under the golden lights.The crowd moved like a well rehearsed dance, but my attention wasn’t on them—it was on her.Dr. Aurora.I swirled the wine glass in my hand lazily, watching as she entered the room earlier with Alexander at her side. It was unexpected. I hadn’t thought I would see her again so soon after that elevator encounter.She didn’t seem out of place here, despite the fact that she wasn’t like the rest of these vultures. It was as if she were the main character, and everyone else was just there to play a supporting role. My gaze traveled down her length. Her black dress hugged her in all the right places, making her stand out without even trying. She was stunning, even I had to admit it.I should have looked away then.

    Aurora For some reason, this feeling was familiar, as if I had experienced it before, but I couldn’t remember when. I shifted uncomfortably, the room felt stifling. It was far too warm, despite the air conditioning. Something was wrong. My hands trembled slightly as I set the empty glass down on a nearby table, my breathing shallow and uneven. Heat radiated through my body, making my skin feel feverish. My dress was clinging to me in a way that made me want to rip it off. What the hell is happening to me? My cheeks flushed—not with embarrassment, but with a fire that seemed to ignite from deep inside me. A strange haze clouded my mind, and I clenched my fists, fighting to stay in control. Then it clicked. Aphrodisiac. My stomach twisted at the realization, and panic set in. That waiter had spiked my drink. I scanned the room, trying to steady my breathing as my pulse rang in my ears, but he was nowhere to be seen. The crowd blurred together, my vision swam slightl

    Aurora“Who the fuck are you? And what are you doing with my boyfriend?”The entire hall fell silent, so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Every eye turned toward us, curiosity and gossip flashing in their gazes, as though they had just found their next source of entertainment.But me?My eyes were fixed on the shattered glass scattered across the floor. I felt a chill creep through my body, not from fear or humiliation, but from anger—the kind of anger that I had been trying to control all evening. “Your boyfriend?” I asked, slowly lifting my gaze and locking eyes with the woman who had slapped the drink out of my hand.“Yes, my boyfriend. Don’t play dumb. Everyone knows Alexander and I are dating. We might be going through some difficulties right now, but we’re still together. If you think you can seduce him with your ugly face, you’re delusional, you can never replace me, you hoe.”"Are you done with the drama?"

    Aurora My first mistake of the night. "Ms, I'm sorry, but you need an invitation to enter," the woman at the front desk said, her voice firm yet polite. I arched an eyebrow, suppressing the urge to sigh loudly. How did this happen? “I must have forgotten it. Is there any way you could let me in? I’m sure my surname is on the list.” The woman gave me an apologetic smile, but there was no warmth in her expression. “I’m sorry, ma’am. No invitation, no entry. That’s the rule.” I pinched the bridge of my nose, the frustration bubbling beneath my skin. Of course, I’d forget it. My mother had been rushing me all evening, dragging me to a salon to have my hair and makeup done. By the time we finished, she’d conveniently decided she was “too tired to go” and insisted that I still attend. “You’ve already dressed up, Aurora. It would be a shame to waste all the effort,” she’d said with a sly smile before practically shoving me out the door. Now here I was, standing in front of the gran
