Chapter 61: What happened
With quick steps and eyes full of anger, Damian walked down the hallway toward his father’s room, ignoring the greetings of the employees passing by him.
Upon reaching the front of the room, he imdiately turned the doorknob and pushed it open, entering to find his father seated, his gaze fixed on the docunts on the desk.
"You’re back," said Darius.
Damian shrugged off his black jacket and tossed it onto the sofa, then approached his father still in an angry mood.
"Did you enjoy your vacation?" Darius asked.
Damian remained silent, suspecting that his father already knew about his trip to Korea with Valerie.
"You’ve forgotten important schedules, you should have spent ti with Karina... But you’ve forgotten all that just to be with that girl," Darius said with a cynical look.
"Her na is Valerie, and she’s still my fiancée!" Damian retorted. "You shouldn’t keep scaring her!"
"I have to because she’s increasingly manipulating you and our family..."
"She’s not doing any of that!"
"She is!" Darius exclaid, pointing at Damian. "Don’t you rember what she said when you wanted her back? She said no, she refused, then I t her... I persuaded her, I even promised Daniel an inheritance if she agreed to co back to you... But what?"
Darius approached Damian with a sharp gaze. "She refused. She said she’s not willing to accept you again. She’s comfortable with Samuel. It truly makes
feel belittled... she embarrasses you, she embarrasses our family!"
Damian fell silent, imagining Valerie and Samuel.
"Since then, I’ve warned her not to accept you again even if you begged her, by her decision. But what does she do? She still tries to approach you with Daniel as her excuse, but she accepts Samuel. She hurts you... And now...now she wants to co back to you after discarding Samuel even though you already have a much better fiancée than her. She’s truly annoying! She makes things difficult for all of us by constantly changing her mind. She thinks everyone should agree with her decisions, and follow her way of thinking?" Darius shook his head. "It’s not that easy. I can’t even forget how she embarrassed our family on your wedding day, and now she wants to enslave us by continuing to follow her ever-changing decisions. I won’t! And I don’t want you to agree either... Show so self-respect, don’t always make yourself look low in her eyes by constantly chasing after her. She’s nothing, she’s like a parasite!" He pointed at Damian’s chest.
Damian sighed. "She’s like that because I’ve hurt her. What I did to her has made her doubt. And I don’t bla her for it... I understand it, and I accept the difficulties I face because it’s the result of my actions. She’s not at fault at all," he said, recalling monts with Valerie in Korea. "She still loves
very much, she just needs peace and you need to stop threatening her. If you hadn’t interfered in this matter since she returned, maybe the problem wouldn’t be so complicated... She’s scared because of you... She still wants
very much. She realizes she can’t be without , She wants to co back to ... So please don’t prevent us," he continued, pleading, his eyes conveying suffering.
"I can’t..." Darius walked towards the glass wall.
Damian imdiately followed, saying, "Why? Why do you still hate her? Haven’t I said that I’m the one at fault? I’m the one making her struggle to make decisions because I’m constantly making her doubt. I’m the one who made her leave because I betrayed her... What I did to her is outrageous... But now she’s giving
a chance... We are still very worthy of being together, we love each other, we need each other, and even Daniel will be very happy. We spent a few days together, it felt so beautiful... I’m happy, I feel the joy I’ve longed for all this ti. A small family with the girl I love..."
"You can find happiness beyond that," Darius replied without turning.
"No!" Damian exclaid, staring at Darius who continued to arrange the view behind the glass wall. "I will never be happy if not with them. I’ve experienced that before... And I will never let it go again when I can have it... Never. I don’t want difficulties any more!"
"But we will have difficulties if you fight for her!" Darius exclaid, turning to Damian, his eyes bulging, his face tense. "I’ve told you, Karina’s father will destroy our company!"
"No..." Damian shook his head. "He can’t do that. I’ve found another way to make my separation from Karina look peaceful, so her father won’t be angry."
Darius fell silent.
"I’ve told Karina about this, she already knows that I was in Korea with Valerie. She doesn’t mind at all, she’s willing to cancel this engagent," Damian said confidently.
Darius remained silent, still looking at Damian so flatly as if he were thinking.
"We will end our engagent on the reason that we cannot love each other, so her father won’t be angry and ruin our company... You don’t need to worry!" Damian reassured.
"It’s better if you et Karina. See what happens. Co to
after you et her, I’m sure you’ll understand why you can’t end your relationship," Darius said with his flat gaze, then left.
Damian fell silent, furrowing his brow, watching his father walk towards the door. He imdiately took his phone from his black pants pocket and then tried to contact Karina.
"No answer," he said anxiously. "Should I et her at the apartnt? What’s happening?"
Suddenly his phone rang with a call from Karina’s father. Damian quickly answered.
"Hello?"
"Finally your number is active," Adam said from the phone, his voice sounding flat.
Damian swallowed. "Um, sorry. I just...."
"I don’t want to hear explanations, I already know everything."
"Um..." Damian suddenly beca nervous, worried that Adam already knew about him and Valerie in Korea.
"Co to
now, I’m waiting for you at Santa Maria Hospital," Adam said again, making Damian furrow his brow.
"Why? What happened, why at the hospital?"
"You’ll find out."
"But..."
Suddenly the phone call disconnected, leaving Damian even more confused. He looked at his phone, speculating about what could be happening at the hospital when none of his family mbers or Karina had been sick before.
"huh!" He clenched his fists. "Why does it have to be full of puzzles? I don’t care about anyone, nothing will stop
from returning to Valerie. If Mr Adam already knows about us, then he has to accept this and act professionally... He can’t control !"
