"I should have known better than to believe your empty promises of love after all these years," Damian's voice wavered, no longer as forceful as before.The realization that Damian had begun to doubt their love, the foundation of their relationship, caught Davina off guard.

Davina sat resignedly in the dimly lit room, her heart heavy with a sense of entrapment. The only escape route, the door, had been mercilessly locked by Damian. A wave of frustration washed over her as she surveyed her surroundings. The room, devoid of any direct connection to the balcony, presented only a single barrier separating her from the outside world – a colossal glass window, its pane reinforced with a layer of impenetrable thickness.A fleeting thought crossed Davina's mind – an impulsive escape through the window, shattering the constraints that bound her within these walls. However, the potential consequences flashed before her eyes, overwhelming her with caution. The prospect of meeting a senseless demise by plummeting to the ground below prevented her from daring such an audacious act."Damian, damn it," Davina muttered under her breath, her voice laced with annoyance.
