"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. Despite her mistreatment, she had always clung to her pride, finding solace in Damian's perceived unwavering affection. Yet now, in a fleeting moment, Damian had shattered that pride, leaving her feeling exposed and vulnerable."Damian, what in the world are you talking about? This is beyond ridiculous!" Davina snapped, her voice laden with disbelief and resentment. She refused to accept blame for something she had no part in.Much to her surprise, Damian seized her cell phone and laptop.

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.

The buoyant mood enveloped Atlantis was abruptly shattered, morphing into a dark and brooding temperament in the blink of an eye.

With an air of barely contained frustration, Atlantis snatched his cell phone and dialed Davina's number; his forehead puckered in annoyance as his daughter-in-law failed to answer the call."Caroline, can you believe it? Even in the face of a critical situation, Davina continues to vex us," Atlantis grumbled, underscoring his exasperation.Upon reaching the villa's opulent confines, the situation's urgency compelled Atlantis to reach out to Damian since Davina remained unresponsive.

Now, a part of the team was hot on the trail of the fleeing imposter.Meanwhile, the rest of the team wasted no time in rescuing Anna.

Her disheveled appearance certainly added to her frustration.Nick couldn't help but observe Davina from head to toe, noting her unkempt state. While Nick himself had appeared disheveled from several sleepless nights, he had made a conscious effort earlier that morning to shower and change into fresh clothes before meeting Davina.He gently reminded her, "If we leave too hastily, we risk attracting more attention. Besides, you seem to regret going out in your current state."

The sight before her eyes was less than ideal.Finally deciding, Davina went to the spacious walk-in closet connected to the bedroom.

"I have returned the item you lent me, Damian. It wasn't the finest, yet it didn't disappoint either. It was an intriguing experience. She’s good in bed, I must say," he confessed candidly.Damian's response beckoned Zack to an upcoming company event at a prestigious hotel. However, the invitation came with a hint of cool detachment.
