I plopped down on Damon’s lap, my mind a whirlwind. The information I’d just seen and Damon’s actions at the mont left as stiff as a board.
Damon’s breath was slightly heavy. His hand had skillfully found its way under my clothes and began wandering about.
After snapping back to reality, I firmly grabbed hold of his hand that was causing havoc on my chest. I could feel the warmth of his hands even through the fabric.
"Damon, I need to take a shower first." I tried to stall as much as possible. Maybe he’d forget about it.
"You can shower later." Even though I had a firm grip on Damon’s hand, I could feel him attempting to wriggle free, though he wasn’t using much force.
His hints were crystal clear.
I was unsure and hesitant about my decision to sell my body. Sotis, I couldn’t help but resist Damon.
The villa was very warm, so I would always take off my coat when I ca back, wearing only thin clothes. This now made it easier for Damon to touch .
"No, not here...this isn’t right..." I pushed Damon away.
"What’s not right? You’re just finding an excuse to reject ." Damon slightly let go of ; his tone now a bit colder, "But it’s useless. When you agreed to co back to , I decided to not let you do as you please anymore."
Just as he finished speaking, Damon had already lifted up and placed on the desk. The docunts I hadn’t had a chance to put away were now under my butt.
The bright light in the study room illuminated us, revealing our close embrace.
The room was filled with a faint scent and a lingering aroma.
When I ca out of the study, my calf was trembling. If one day I could control Damon, I would definitely have him sell adult content on OnlyFans.
Before that, I could only accept the status quo.
"Ms. Brooks, are you okay?" As soon as I got to the second floor, I saw Hannah standing at the guest room door. She was wearing a sowhat old nightgown.
I imdiately noticed the bruise on her neck.
"I’m fine. What’s that on your neck...?" I asked suspiciously.
Hannah quickly covered her neck and shook her head, "Nothing. I just tripped."
The placent didn’t look like she had tripped. It looked more like soone had gripped her neck. After I noticed that Hannah was dodging the question, I didn’t press her any further, "Why are you still awake?"
"I’m a bit thirsty." Hannah answered awkwardly. "But I don’t know where I can get so water."
"Wait here." Without saying much, I went downstairs to get Hannah so water.
When I brought a bottle of water upstairs, Damon was coming down from the third floor. He and Hannah exchanged a glance, his gaze cold.
Hannah, on the other hand, looked a bit embarrassed and quickly looked away.
"Here you go. Go rest." I handed the water to Hannah. Hannah thanked with a nod, glanced at Damon again, then went back to her room.
Damon seed a bit displeased. As he headed towards the main bedroom, he ordered , "Have her leave tomorrow; let her stay sowhere else. If you’re worried about her, send soone to accompany her."
I followed him, "No need. She might leave the city in a couple of days."
"If she doesn’t leave within three days, don’t bla for being rude." Damon was really cold-hearted about this. He seed particularly disgusted by the presence of strangers in his place.
"Okay" All I wanted was to take a shower as soon as possible and wash off the scent of sex, so I quickly grabbed my
sleepwear from the closet and dashed into the bathroom.
After a comfortable shower, I changed and went back to the room.
Damon was on the balcony making a call, "It’s my business, it’s none of your concern. We’re just friends, got it?"
"Whatever."
With his cold and brief response, he hung up the phone. When he turned around and saw , there was a hint of uneasiness in his eyes.
I laid down on the bed without asking anything.
Damon ca in, closed the balcony door, and explained, "That was Marie. She found out from Cooper that you’re staying at Starlight Estates."
Marie was Zoe’s real na.
"Marie?" My focus was elsewhere, "Do you know who she is?"
"I’ve known for a while, but who she is doesn’t matter to ." Damon casually answered while unbuttoning his shirt, "Your company has a partnership with her family’s company, so you’re worried that our affairs would affect the partnership, aren’t you?"
I didn’t answer. I was indeed a bit worried about that, but I also quite liked Zoe, so I didn’t want to hurt her.
Damon tossed his shirt aside and calmly said, "There’s nothing to worry about. Any partnership is based on mutual benefit. Mr. Zack will also benefit from your cooperation. If he insists on mixing work with personal grudges, he’ll fail soon."
"You’re one to talk about keeping work and personal lives separate" I retorted.
Didn’t Damon retaliate in business whenever soone pissed him off in the past?
Damon was going to the bathroom, but what I said stopped him. He walked to the bed and leaned over with his bare arms propped on either side of , "Aren’t you tired today? How do you still have the energy to argue with ?"
"I’m too tired, I’m going to sleep." I quickly pulled the blanket over my head.
Damon chuckled, and then I heard his footsteps heading towards the bathroom.
I then peeked out, my mood even heavier.
Zoe called Damon but didn’t reach out to .
I didn’t want Zoe to be the next Ariel. I wanted to be her friend, but reality seed not to allow it.
As I drifted off, my phone rang. It was a video call request from Zoe.
I imdiately declined.
Zoe sent a ssage. "Eliana, it’s okay. I know you’re at Starlight Estates. I just wanted to know if you’re attending Jones and Scarlett engagent party in a few days. I don’t want to go with my dad. Can I go with you?"
After seeing Zoe’s ssage, I started feeling mixed emotions. After hesitating for a while, I replied. "I won’t be going. I’m sorry."
Zoe replied again. "There’s no need to say sorry. Damon must’ve been giving you a hard ti. We agreed on fair play, rember? Watch your back, because I haven’t given up on Damon just yet."
A small smirk played on my lips after reading her ssage. Her straightforwardness in declaring she hadn’t thrown in the towel was a comforting thought.
I couldn’t co right out and say what I was thinking, so I had to reply cryptically. " and him, we won’t last forever."
Zoe didn’t respond to that.
I let out a sigh of relief and started browsing the news. Out of nowhere, news of Jones and Scarlett’s engagent popped up. They usually kept a low profile, but any big news involving the kids of the rich and famous was bound to stir the pot.
