CHAPTER 325
He couldn’t believe what he was hearing. He had assumed she was avoiding him—deliberately staying out of sight whenever she knew he’d be around. But he had no idea she’d been locking herself in her room and refusing to even shower.The realization made him chuckle in disbelief. It reminded him of when they were kids—how she once locked herself in her room just to force their parents to buy her a thousand-dollar doll.Despite growing older, she was still the same brat who threw tantrums when things didn’t go her way.“She’s still the same,” he mumbled to himself. “Only worse now.”Shaking his head, he snapped out of the thought. He was supposed to be mad—furious that she had woken him with her screams over something so trivial. Now, his sleep was ruined, and so was the rest of his day.His shoulders relaxed slightly. He let out a short, annoyed huff and rubbed the bridge of his nose.Then he spotted Xander coming down the hallway.Xander’s face was thunderous. His shirt was wrinkled, h
CHAPTER 324
His eyes widened as he took in the scene before him. He’d expected something bad—but not this.There were trays. At least five. Spread across the floor. Some covered. Some not. All untouched. The food had long gone cold, the once-appetizing meals now a depressing sight.And there she was.Curled up in the middle of her massive bed, buried beneath a mountain of blankets like she wanted to disappear. Only a small tuft of her dark hair peeked out from under the covers.Xander exhaled—long and hard—but the fury still burned in his chest.“Kallista,” he said, voice low and even.No answer.He stepped closer.“You’re starving yourself now? This is your solution?”Still nothing. Just the faintest shift beneath the blankets.His chest tightened, jaw clenching.“You’re not a child,” he said again, this time more controlled. “If you’re upset, say something. If you’re mad at me, shout. If you need help, ask. But don’t do this.”Silence again. But this time, it didn’t feel like defiance—it felt l
CHAPTER 323
Athena dropped to the floor, stunned. She landed hard on her butt, but the sting on her cheek burned far more than the fall. She had been slapped in front of everyone. And worse, she had failed to give any kind of response to Persis’s final words.Now, the truth was out. Everyone knew she had been part of it.Her pride was shattered. Her confidence? Gone. All she had left was the echo of that slap and the weight of dozens of judgmental stares.At that moment, Savina was panicking. Persis’s calm threat about involving lawyers still rang in her ears.“Expect a message from my lawyer soon.”Those words terrified her.Her family was nothing compared to the Damons. There was no way her parents could fight back—not legally, not financially, not socially. The Damons held power in every room that mattered. If they pressed charges, even minor ones, it would ruin her family’s name—and their business.Savina turned to Athena, wide-eyed. “This is your fault,” she hissed in a whisper. “You dragged
CHAPTER 322
Seeing Savina admit to it brought a smile to Athena’s face. She grinned widely, her posture loosening as if a weight had been lifted.‘Good. Let her take the fall. As long as she keeps talking, I’m in the clear.’Athena folded her arms and leaned slightly to the side, eyes glinting with amusement.‘Once I recover the files, I’ll send them straight to Mr. Washington. Privately. That’ll be enough to get his attention—and maybe even his gratitude.’Savina’s voice cracked, but she kept going. “You walk around like you’re untouchable. Perfect. Everyone loves you. You don’t even try, and still, they praise you. They follow you. I was tired of it. Tired of being invisible next to you
CHAPTER 321
The silence was shattered with a sudden ripple of voices. People were no longer whispering—they were talking. Openly. Boldly.“They really had nothing.”“This was all just noise?”“They tried to destroy her with fake evidence?”“How did they both lose the same file?”Across the ballroom, heads turned toward Persis. She hadn’t moved from her spot—hadn’t lifted a finger. But somehow, she’d won.She recalled Howard telling her that any phones that came near their car and lingered too long would be hacked immediately. And if they tried to take pictures and share them, the files would be deleted on the spot.<
CHAPTER 320
Savina knew she had the evidence with her, but something about Persis’s unshaken calm made her hesitate.It wasn’t just confidence—it was like Persis expected her to show it. Like none of this was new.Tedmond’s gaze flicked toward her, one brow raised in quiet amusement, and that only made Savina grip her phone tighter.“Fine,” she snapped, voice slicing through the air. “You all want proof? I’ll give you proof.”She raised the phone like a sword, holding it high so everyone could see.“I have the pictures. I have the video. So stay right where you are—because once I share this, everyone will see exactly what kind of person Persis Damon really is.”The ballroom erupted.“She’s actually going to show it?”“This is turning into a full-blown scandal.”“She’s not bluffing?”“Wait—does she have something on Ms. Damon?”“There’s no way. Ms. Damon’s spotless. No scandals, no exes, no mess. Why would she cheat?”“Unless the guy was someone bigger than Mr. Washington…”“No one’s bigger than M
