ELLA'S POVMy heart nearly stopped when I saw Sylvia holding a knife with a distant look in her eyes.“Sylvia!” I called out as I approached her but she immediately raised the knife, causing me to halt in my steps.“Wouldn't it all be fine if I end it all? What's my use in this world? If I leave, you'll be happy, right? Damien will be so glad, right?” She mumbled as she glanced at me with a sad smile on her face while I shook my head wildly.“No, please, listen to me. I can't live without you. Please, Sylvia, don't do this, I'm begging you. You still need your revenge, don't you? If you kill yourself, how will you get it then?” I pleaded as I took a step forward and she suddenly pointed the knife at me.“You're stopping me just because I'm in your house right? You're scared that if I die, you'll be accused of murder. You don't care about me, you only care about yourself!” She yelled and I shook my head in denial as I took another step closer.“Sylvia, have you forgotten the promise we

DAMIEN'S POVI had left the office earlier than I wanted to yesterday when I felt fatigue take over me. Everything that had happened had finally begun to take a toll on me, and I knew that I needed to rest so that I could get myself back together.Arriving home, I passed out the minute I hit my bed and I thought I'd be fine the minute I woke up the next day. But I was so wrong.I woke the next morning not being able to move a single muscle. It felt like I was being held down by a heavy brick and everything in me felt heavy. I couldn't even keep my eyes open, they felt heavy as bricks.I managed to press the button under the drawer, and Clark, my security guard, was in my room in minutes.“Clark, please get me my phone. My body won't move even though I keep telling it to.” I said and he immediately passed me my phone. I first dialed Ella's office but when she didn't pick up, I realized that she hadn't resumed yet.I was such a dummy for not getting her mobile number. I finally called t

ELLA'S POV“What happened after his death? Your father, I mean.” Damien asked and I smiled at him as I sat up before crossing my legs.“Well, I cried, Mom cried and she never looked at me the same way again. I stopped going to school at some point because I was traumatized. Mom couldn't hold on and the business started to collapse. Before we knew it, we had gone bankrupt and we had to sell the company and our house. We moved to a new place, around that bar you found me that day and we've been living there ever since. Mom wouldn't even look me in the eye. She says it's all my fault, and she isn't wrong.” I explained and he held my shoulders as he made me look at him before he gently wiped my tears.“It's not your fault at all. You just wanted to have fun with your parents like other kids. She shouldn't blame you for it… listen to me; you're not impatient, greedy, or stupid. You were just a child. You didn't know any of that was going to happen.” He said gently and his words made the te

ELLA'S POVI had unknowingly fallen asleep in Damien's arms and the feeling that came along with it made me realize that I might regret trying to hurt Damien because of Sylvia.So, I came up with a better option.I'll find out the real truth so that if Damien truly framed Sylvia and was at fault, I wouldn't have to feel guilty for doing anything to him. However, if he was innocent… we would simply find out who tried to frame Sylvia and get our revenge on them.I took my phone, placed a soft kiss on his cheek, and then left the room. The security guard looked somewhat sad when I came out, causing me to look at him in confusion.“What's with that sad expression? You don't want me to leave?” I teased as I walked up to the gate and to my surprise, he nodded quickly. “Why don't you want me to leave?”“Well, you seemed to take care of my boss well and he hasn't had anyone come here in a long time to help him with his daily necessities.” He said and I raised my brow at him in confusion.“Wha

ELLA'S POVSomething in me wanted to call Damien to know how he was fairing and if he was feeling better but I didn't want to seem too forward. I just hoped he was already doing okay.I walked into the company feeling a little tired than usual but I ignored it. There had been a lot going on recently and maybe my body just needed a little rest. I walked up to Damien's office but he wasn't here yet. Was he still sick?I started contemplating on if I should go to his house again to check up on him. I felt uneasy due to his absence and after minutes of arguing with myself, I decided to head over to his house.I boarded a cab that took me there and held the golden card in hand in case the security guard forgot about me.Arriving at the gate, I rang the doorbell, and as expected, the tiny door opened, and a hand stretched out. I placed the golden card in it and the door was immediately opened as the security guard stared at me in happiness.“You came again.” He said and I nodded with a nerv
