THE TENSION arose in the air as Ava and Damian started to each other. They were like in a staring contest, intimidating one another so one of them would admit defeat. But no one did… Not until Damian looked away.It’s not because he was afraid of Ava. Rather, Damian was more afraid of what he could do if his patience reached the limit. His movement caused Ava to smirk.“A complaint? Who would believe you?” Ava asked, her voice laced with intimidation. “I am the fucking higher-up, Damian. I am a part of the Medivien family. You know what I am capable of, and you know how I can bury this conversation right here, right now…”Ava stepped forward, narrowing the distance between her and Damian.
