Seeing Damian stir, Davina immediately closed her eyes, pretending to be still asleep. The atmosphere would become even more awkward if Damian discovered she had been awake before him.

Slowly blinking his eyes, Damian regained consciousness. Sensing a weight on his chest, he realized that Davina's arms were wrapped around him.

From this close proximity, Damian could see Davina's bare face clearly. Thick eyebrows, long straight eyelashes, a nose that was neither too aquiline nor flattened, pale smooth white skin, and pale soft lips without any coloring.

Without makeup, Davina's face appeared pale. Although Damian had become accustomed to seeing her without makeup, Davina's entirely made-up face was still new to him.

The realization that this was the first time Damian had slept with a woman other than Camille felt strange yet exciting. Unconsciously, he smiled, realizing that fate could never be predicted.

Damian's fingers slowly moved to brush away the hair covering Davina's face. Mean

    However, she had forgotten that Damian was still in the car, causing him to hit the steering wheel from the force of the push."Oh, I'm sorry, Damian! I didn't mean to," Davina panicked upon hearing Damian's cry of pain."It's alright," Damian reassured her, rubbing his sore shoulder as he got out of the car.Davina followed him out, her hand reflexively reaching to rub his shoulder, guilt clear on her face."Are you okay? I'm so sorry. I didn't expect to push you that hard," she apologized."It's fine. I'm alright," Damian gently removed Davina's hand from his shoulder, signaling that she didn't need to feel guilty anymore."I'm really sorry," she insisted."It's okay. Let's go back upstairs. Breakfast is already prepared.”They enjoyed their breakfast in the dining room, savoring sandwiches. Over time, Davina began to adjust to life in the mansion, as she was a quick adapter. Damian and the rest of the staff treated her well, alleviating any pressure she felt about being in such a l

    "I was just on the verge of telling you that your long hair looks as pretty as a princess," Damian said."How about now?" Davina descended the stairs, slowly approaching Damian, who was mesmerized by her appearance.Damian remained silent, carefully examining Davina's appearance. "Gorgeous. You look absolutely stunning.""No longer a princess, huh?""No, you don't. You resemble a queen, ready to overcome whatever has been troubling you all this time."

    Realizing that the car she was currently driving was not her own, Davina swiftly exited the vehicle, even though her head was spinning. She breathed a sigh of relief upon discovering that Damian's car remained unscathed despite being targeted by a deranged individual named Marcel. Two security guards approached Davina, and concern etched across their faces."Miss, are you alright?" inquired one of the security guards."Yep, I'm fine. Are you okay? I hope I didn't bump into you or cause any damage here," Davina reassured, flashing a warm smile. She wanted to assure them that she wouldn't be held accountable for any harm that may have occurred due to her actions. Additionally, she didn't want to burden Damian with any unnecessary tasks as a result of this minor incident."We're alright. Don't worry, you didn't damage anything here. Oh my, Miss, your forehead is bleeding!" exclaimed the security guard.Davina instinctively touched her forehead, wincing at the pain caused by the impact of

    "Blood? Hahahaha, I don't smell anything. Are you having trouble with your nose, Nick?" Davina forced a laugh to mask her nervousness."Nick's sense of smell is more sensitive than mine, but he's never had any problems with it so far." Damian's response provided no reassurance to Davina."Do you also smell it, young master?" Nick inquired.Damian's nose twitched, honing in on the scent of blood that Nick had mentioned. As he drew closer to the source, Damian found himself leaning towards Davina, who was solely focused on driving. He gently moved her hair aside, revealing the blood that had started to trickle down from her wound."You're bleeding!" Damian exclaimed, taken aback.Without letting go of the steering wheel, Davina reached for a tissue with her free hand to wipe away the blood on her forehead."It's nothing. Don't overreact," Davina dismissed, keeping her eyes fixed on the road."Stop the car. You can't continue driving," Damian commanded."I'm fine, Damian.""Stop the car

He understood that Davina desired solitude.Ever since that day, Damian and Davina have been trapped in a peculiarly uncomfortable situation. It was labeled as such because Davina never allowed Damian to converse.Davina appeared as though she had been suddenly plagued with anxiety. Every time Damian attempted to pose a question, Davina skillfully evaded him.That morning, Damian deliberately postponed his departure for work. Damian's driver, Nick, habitually accompanied him on the journey to WW Technology. Spotting Davina as she passed by, Damian opened the car door."Davina, hop in. I'll drive you to the law firm," Damian offered."No need.

    "Mom, the day I divorced Damian was because I had no idea he came from a billionaire family. Didn't you see how geeky Damian looked back then? Ever since he was in school, Damian has had an unappealing appearance. I never imagined that nerdy guy could be a billionaire," Camille explained. Mrs. Smith snorted in annoyance at her daughter's response. "And Damian's secretary is incredibly irritating. I can't stand him. Have you tried flirting with Damian to win him back? After all, you were Damian's first love." "An older woman like you would more easily sway him than me. I don't know what Damian has been up to since our divorce, but he seems completely different. Even when we accidentally bump into each other at the company, Damian acts like he doesn't know me," Camille replied with bitterness. "I heard that Damian is getting remarried. Is it true? Who is Damian marrying? We don't have much time left," Mrs. Smith anxiously inquired. "Mom, calm down. Damian is marrying Davina. Davina h

    Davina slowly opened the doors to each room in the old hospital, determined to locate the CCTV room. Spotting the room, she barged in, presenting her lawyer identification card with authority. "Transfer all the CCTV footage from the past month onto this USB drive," Davina commanded, giving a firm order. The CCTV operator appeared surprised and unsure of how to proceed. In frustration, Davina tossed the USB drive onto the security guard's desk. "Do this immediately, or I will take legal action for obstructing justice," Davina threatened, her words hanging in the air. Overcome with fear, the CCTV monitoring officer nodded and quickly transferred the data to the USB drive. Davina remained in the room, completing the task without further delay. Having secured the crucial CCTV evidence, Davina reached the hospital administration desk. Displaying her lawyer identification once again, she demanded honest answers. "Answer my questions truthfully, or I will sue you for obstructing justice.

    Marcel's wry smile played on his lips, knowing that even someone as renowned as Davina, a famous lawyer herself, could not resist the tempting treasure he had presented her. He was well aware of the losses Davina had suffered at his hands and believed that she deserved some compensation from him because Davina was his first love. Instead of waiting for the judge's verdict on how much compensation the victim should receive from the defendant, Davina took matters into her own hands and decided to determine the amount herself. Observing this interaction between his wife and Marcel, Damian's eyebrows furrowed with suspicion as he pondered their unusual communication despite their supposed enmity."Do you think this trial will conclude well?" Damian mumbled under his breath, his doubts creeping in. Nick, who stood close by, caught Damian's words clearly and responded, "Have faith in Claire's lawyer. She undoubtedly has her strategy."

    Today, Damian and Nick arrived at the courthouse alongside Davina, albeit separately, as she had left the law firm immediately. Davina arrived before the others, taking her seat before Damian and Nick entered.Addressing his wife, Damian inquired, "Have you been waiting for long?" Taking a seat beside her, he awaited her response."Not really," Davina replied, her tone lacking warmth.Seated beside his partners, Nick, speaking in a hushed tone, asked, "How are you holding up, Davina?"Davina curtly replied, "I'm as good as you can see."No longer residing in Nick's apartment or Damian's opulent mansion, Davina had chosen to distance herself from both men.

    After a long day at work, Davina arrived at Nick's apartment, having chosen to take a taxi instead of her usual mode of transport. Initially, Davina intended to return to her private apartment, which had remained unoccupied for over a year.
