When Chaos Meets Charisma

CHAPTER 21DAMIEN'S POVLaz dropped into the chair across from me, his expression somewhere between disbelief and amusement as he ran a hand through his messy dark hair.“Damien,” he began, dragging out my name like it was a joke, “your life is straight out of a rom-com, man. I mean, what the actual hell is going on with you?”I leaned back in my chair, rubbing the back of my neck. “Don’t start, Laz.”“No, seriously,” he continued, leaning forward with his elbows on the table. “Let me get this straight. You’ve got Lily’s sister living in your house now—Lily’s sister, Damien. The same Lily who was your first love, the one who, might I remind you, broke your damn heart. And now, you’re catching feelings for her sister? Are you out of your mind?”I groaned, running a hand down my face. “I know, okay? You don’t have to spell it out for me.”“No, I do, because clearly, you’re not thinking straight!” Laz shook his head, looking at me like I’d lost it. “Do you realize how messed up this is?

Jealousy Looks Good on Damien

CHAPTER 22ROSE'S POVI could hardly believe that Laziel—the Laziel—was sitting in front of me, laughing, joking, and completely different from the way he came across in his pictures and interviews. The man oozed charm, sure, but there was something disarming about him in person. He wasn’t stiff or cold like I expected. If anything, he was warm, laid-back, and approachable. It was such a stark contrast to the confident, almost intimidating image his portraits gave off.And let’s be honest, he was devastatingly handsome. Unfairly so. The kind of handsome that made you nervous just being in the same room.Before I could think better of it, the words slipped out. “You’re really beautiful.”The second it was out, I clamped my hand over my mouth. Oh, no.Laziel’s eyes widened for a moment before his cheeks flushed a soft pink. He actually blushed.“Did you just—?” Laz started to say, his lips curling into a surprised smile.“Oh my God,” I stammered, turning to Damien out of instinct, only

A Dangerous Gamble

CHAPTER 23DAMIEN'S POVRichard Grantham lounged across the polished table, exuding his usual smug self-importance, his associates stationed like bodyguards at his sides. I could feel the tension rippling through the room as he leaned back in his chair, adjusting his tie.“We’ve heard some...interesting things,” Grantham began, his voice slow and deliberate.I held his gaze, unblinking. “Interesting things,” I echoed, my tone devoid of emotion.His faint smile was the kind that made my fingers itch to wipe it off his face. “Yes. From the Duvals, actually. They seem to have a lot to say about Sterling Corp these days.”My jaw tightened, but I kept my expression unreadable. “The Duvals have a habit of running their mouths. I assume you’re not here to peddle their gossip, Mr. Grantham? Because that would be a waste of my time—and yours.”Grantham chuckled, a low, condescending sound. “Of course not. But you understand, Mr. Sterling, that when such...persistent rumors circulate, it raises

A Sister’s Hidden Truth

CHAPTER 24ROSE'S POVThe kitchen was unusually quiet as I stepped inside. The only sound was the faint hum of the refrigerator. I froze mid-step when I saw the maid standing near the counter, her back partially turned to me. She wasn’t doing anything obvious, but her stiff, almost jittery stance put me on edge.“What are you doing?” I hadn’t meant for it to sound so accusing.The maid jerked back, guilt flashing across her face. She whirled around, clutching a dish towel, her eyes wide and nervous. “Oh! Miss Rose! I—I was just... cleaning,” she stammered, lifting the towel as if it could explain everything.“Cleaning?” I echoed, narrowing my eyes. Something wasn’t right. “What exactly were you cleaning? Because this place looks like it’s already been cleaned.”Her gaze darted around the kitchen like she was searching for an escape route. “I was... wiping the counters. Yes! The counters.” She gestured vaguely toward them, but the countertops were spotless, not a single smear or crumb

The Truth That Hurts

CHAPTER 25ROSE'S POVThe words hit me like a punch to the stomach. My breath caught, and my world tilted slightly. “What?” I whispered, my voice barely audible.“She was pregnant,” Seraphina repeated, her smirk widening. “With Damien’s child.”“No,” I whispered, shaking my head. “That doesn’t make sense. Are you saying Damien was the father?”“It means exactly what I said,” she replied coldly, her tone dripping with condescension. “She was carrying Damien’s child.”My mind spun, every thought colliding with the next. “But—how do you know this?”She leaned back in her chair, inspecting her nails as if the topic were casual. “I have my sources. They haven’t found more details yet, but she was pregnant. And she’s still in this city, Rose. My private detectives are working tirelessly. It’s only a matter of time before she’s found.”The café seemed to close in around me, Seraphina’s voice fading into the background as my thoughts screamed louder than her words. Lily. Pregnant. With Damien

Silence Speaks Louder

CHAPTER 26ROSE'S POVI sat at the dining table, staring at my untouched plate, absently pushing my eggs around with my fork. Damien sat across from me, sipping his coffee, his sharp gaze flickering toward me every few seconds.I knew he was watching me. I could feel it.“Alright,” he finally said, setting his mug down with a soft clink. “What’s wrong with you?”I didn’t flinch. Didn’t react.“Nothing,” I murmured.Damien didn’t buy it.“That’s a lie,” he said, his voice edged with impatience. “You’ve barely spoken since last night. You look like a ghost, and now you’re sitting here acting like the world is ending. So, I’ll ask again—what’s wrong?”I forced a small, tired smile. “I’m fine.”His eyes narrowed slightly, like he was trying to read me.He let out a long sigh, rubbing his temple. “Fine. If you don’t want to talk, I won’t force you. But at least take care of yourself, okay?”I nodded, still not meeting his gaze. “Yeah. Sure.”Damien exhaled, clearly frustrated, but he didn’

A Hunger Unleashed

CHAPTER 27ROSE'S POVThe clock on my phone read 11:07 PM, the soft glow of the screen the only light in the darkened room.I dropped it onto the couch with a sigh, dragging my hands down my face.Sleep was impossible. No matter how hard I tried, my mind wouldn’t stay quiet.I had tried eating, tried watching TV; some mindless late-night show I barely paid attention to… nothing helped.I exhaled, pushing myself off the couch, feeling the weight of exhaustion settle deeper. Maybe a glass of water would help. Or, maybe pacing the house would finally drain some of the restlessness out of me.My steps faltered as I reached the bottom of the stairs.The dim glow from the bar area flickered softly, casting shifting shadows across the floor. The faint amber hue from the overhead lights glowed against the glass bottles, their reflections stretching like golden ghosts behind the counter.And then I saw him… Damien.He was seated at the bar, one elbow resting on the counter, a tumbler of whiske

The Taste of Last Night

CHAPTER 28DAMIEN'S POVA dull, relentless throb pulsed behind my temples, each beat hammering through my skull. A low groan escaped my lips as I pressed my palms against my face, trying to block out the world.My body felt sluggish, the sheets twisted around me like a trap. Every muscle ached, exhaustion clinging to my limbs as if I had been dragged through hell and back.What the hell happened last night? My mind was blank, a foggy void where my memories should have been. With some effort, I pushed myself up, rubbing a hand over my face, trying to shake off the lingering haze of sleep. Weak sunlight filtered through the curtains, casting streaks of gold across the room. The house was eerily quiet.I turned my head, eyes settling on the empty space beside me, the sheets slightly rumpled but cold. Had someone been there?Frowning, I grabbed my phone from the nightstand, hoping for answers, but all I found was an empty screen and a low battery.Damn it. I had work, and judging by the l

Close Enough to Burn

CHAPTER 29ROSE'S POVI was finally going out.Like, a real outing. Not a business dinner. Not some press conference where I had to smile and nod like I actually cared. Not a carefully orchestrated event designed to make Damien Sterling look good.Just me, Karen, and Danny—my friends, my coworkers. The people I used to see all the time before my life got tangled up in this mess. Before I became the perfect, obedient fiancée.I sighed, checking the time. 6:30 AM. Damien was still asleep. Saturdays were his slow mornings—coffee, a late breakfast, no rigid schedule for once. Which meant I had the kitchen to myself.Perfect.I pulled on a pair of shorts and a loose tank top before heading downstairs. The house was quiet, the early sunlight barely filtering through the windows. As I stepped into the kitchen, I reached for a mug—only to freeze.Because suddenly, there it was.A presence. A very warm, solid presence pressing against my back.Oh. Oh, no.My breath caught. My skin went hot. An

A Dangerous Game

CHAPTER 30DAMIEN'S POVI placed Rose in the passenger seat, shutting the car door with a firm click. Her head lolled to the side, eyes half-lidded, lips parted in a lazy smile. “Damien,” she mumbled.I sighed, shaking my head. This woman would be the death of me.Slipping into the driver’s seat, I started the engine, the Lamborghini’s low purr filling the air. I had barely pulled out of the club’s parking lot when she mumbled my name again.“Damien…” she sighed dreamily.I glanced at her. “What?”She giggled. “You’re so hot.”I exhaled, already regretting this night. “Rose.”“And strong.”“Go to sleep.”“You smell so good.”My grip tightened on the steering wheel.Then, with zero warning, she tilted her head toward me and murmured, “And you have a big dick too.”I slammed on the brakes. The car jerks slightly before stopping. I turned my head, slowly, and met her sleepy, drunken gaze.She blinked at me, all innocent. “What?”I inhaled deeply, willing myself to stay calm. “Rose—”“I f
