Davina had completed all her tasks for the day without even stepping outside the law firm building. She had even requested that some of her clients meet her directly at the office. She made it a point to minimize leaving the premises during working hours.

As Irene emerged from the toilet, she stopped upon seeing Davina busy making coffee in the office pantry. Curiosity piqued, Irene approached Davina and spoke up.

"Ah, I see you've made coffee for the third time today. Isn't that a bit excessive?" Irene asked, suddenly intrigued.

Davina greeted Irene with a warm smile. "I have an overwhelming number of documents to read. Everything seems to have lost its appeal. I've been feeling unusually tired these days."

Understanding Davina's predicament, Irene nodded sympathetically.

"Would you like some coffee too?" Davina kindly offered.

Irene politely declined and had a better suggestion in mind. She put her arm around Davina and proposed an idea.

"You don't seem to be in the best mood. How a

    Davina had accompanied Irene and her friends to the bar. In just a few short hours, she had already formed a strong bond with Irene's diverse group of male companions, who hailed from various professional backgrounds. "Why didn't you mention that all your friends are men?" Davina asked, her voice barely a whisper. Irene gave Davina a perplexed look. "Didn't I mention it before?" “You’re not!” exclaimed Davina. “My bad,” Irene says. Davina let out a sarcastic snicker, not fooled by Irene's feigned innocence. Irene pulled Davina closer and stood in line together, awaiting the pre-admission check. Approaching the security guard, Irene confidently presented her membership card. "Hello, this is my membership card," she stated, extending the card towards the guard. "And this is my friend. She came here with me," she added, pointing at Davina.

    As Nick remained silent, Davina let out a soft sigh of resignation. No further confirmation was needed for Davina to piece together the puzzle behind the auction - Damian was the mastermind."You really won't tell me who that woman is?" Davina made one last attempt to coax an answer out of Nick."I genuinely don't know right now, so I can't tell you," Nick replied honestly, his voice tinged with a sense of helplessness.Davina stared at Nick in disbelief, feeling like a fool who had been kept in the dark. The realization hit her hard, leaving her feeling foolish and naive.

Davina!" exclaimed Camille excitedly, calling out to her best friend with joy and desperation. Camille loosened her grip on the hands of the two men who held her captive and moved to position herself behind Davina.

    "Let me go, bastard! Where do you think you're taking me? I swear I'll kill all of you!" Camille's voice pierced the air with a deranged madness.

Exhaustion wore her down after her earlier rebellion.Mike arrived accompanied by a well-dressed man who was a buyer at the auction.

At least please tell me what the date is today," she pleaded, her eyes searching his for a glimmer of information.Zack, wrenching free from Camille's hold with a look of disdain, tossed a paper bag towards her.

The sunlight streamed through the windows, illuminating her path and filling her with energy and purpose.As she approached the dining room, her footsteps came to a halt. Damian was seated at the table, engrossed in his breakfast. The memory of Damian's escapades from the previous night flooded Davina's mind.

    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."

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.
