Adeline immediately shook her head. “No. Physically, she is fine. Nothing bad happened to her, but… I couldn’t even talk to her properly, nor encourage her to go out of her bedroom.”
“She is traumatized,” Damian said, his gaze darkening because of anger.
Although they only had a doctor-and-patient relationship, he knew that Caroline used to be an extroverted person, who loved socializing with other people.
It takes much fear for a person to change what she used to love.
“I’m thinking of the same thing,” Adelin

A FEW days later after their conversation, Damian kept all of the things Adeline said to him in mind. He acted like he didn’t know anything, and even showed everyone that he was drinking the medicine.He didn’t want to keep a secret from Anya, but he had no choice. Something was bothering him… The person who was trying to take his life was someone who knew all his routines, including his whereabouts.‘It wasn’t Anya, but that person could use her to hurt me,’ Damian thought as he stared at the plants in their garden, thinking deeply. ‘I won’t let that happen.’“Damian! I have been looking for you!” Anya exclaimed, causing Damian to look at him. “Look at this. The annual charity gala will happen in a few days! This is the first time you will att

“I-I’M SORRY, Sir Damian! I was just ordered to do it!” exclaimed Catelyn as she went in front of Damian and kneeled. “I-I had no choice! My life is on the line!”“And mine isn’t? The medicine you make me drink would gradually kill me if I didn’t know about it sooner,” Damian said, gritting his teeth in rage, but he was trying his best to control it. “You are a doctor, yet you didn’t hesitate to take a life instead of saving someone? And you didn’t have a choice? That is ridiculous.”“I-I’m sorry, Sir Damian! Please forgive me!” Catelyn said again, her tone desperate, as she clung both her hands to Damian’s leg. “I-I will do anything you ask! For real!”“Hmmm. That’s great.” Damian ligh

A FEW hours later, Damian and Anya were already at the Apricot Hotel, a famous five-star hotel in the country, along with the other guests.Damian knew some of them; they were VIP members of the Ferremento mafia. But to protect their privacy and even the organization, they acted casually to each other, yet they bowed their heads to Damian discreetly, discreetly showing respect.“This is your first time attending the annual charity gala. Can you share with us what you feel right now?” a female reporter asked, bringing the microphone in front of Damian. “Sir Damian?” she asked again, noticing that Damian was staring at the wall.“I feel delighted since I know that this gala focuses on solving different problems in society…” Damian muttered before his gaze scanned the room. Nervousness was evident in his eyes.“Uhm, I guess that’s it. May we excuse ourselves, please?” Anya spoke this time before the bodyguards took over and protected them until they reached their assigned table, which wa

EVERYONE at the party was having the time of their lives, especially as the successful charity gala was coming to an end, yet tension arose between Anya and Damian after Luther left.Luther’s words left something in Damian’s system—Fear.“Don’t mind him. He is just obsessed with organizing things, maybe because he wanted their company for too long, yet his parents gave the Hellion Corporation to Penelope,” Anya explained, keeping a low tone. “And… He also liked me, but I never reciprocated that feeling.”“I know.” Damian smiled and caressed Anya’s shoulder lightly. “I was just shocked at how he approached us like we were committing a crime for leaving.”“He had a point, though. Just a few minutes after the speeches, and we can go. So, maybe we should stay a bit?” Anya asked.It was the opposite of what Damian wanted, yet he just nodded and sat on the chair again. This time, he became extra attentive. Seconds later, he felt a heavy stare on his side.‘Who could it be?’ Damian thought,

Damian bit his lower lip, hard, until it created a shallow wound. The killer was surely treating him like a puppet, controlling him using the people close to him. ‘I should take that to mind when I retaliate against this person soon.’“No, don’t bring her home,” Damian withdrew his command, his hands pressing tightly on Anya’s wrist. “Bring her to a safe place, but don’t go to a secluded place. It could be dangerous.”“Damian, hey,” Anya called him, and he glanced at his wife before caressing her wrist lightly.“No matter what happens to me, don’t leave her,” instructed Damian, and the bodyguards were about to argue when he spoke again. “This is an order. Do you understand?”“Yes, young master,” all of them bowed in surrender.“Damian, you are scaring the shit out of me,” Anya told him, the fear evident in her tone. “What’s happening?”“I can’t tell you, but for now, just trust me. Stay near your bodyguards. Don’t drink or eat anything in this event, too.”Anya’s eyes roamed the place

“It’s not him. It’s you.”As Damian said those words, it was followed by the host speaking inside the function hall.“The charity gala has officially ended. Thank you for coming, everyone, and see you next year!”After that last announcement, the lights went off, delivering an eerie area in the secluded place, arousing tension between Damian and Carter, who didn’t even move despite being pointed by a gun. Damian remained standing, either, his gaze unwavering.“I think it will be useless if I pretend to be shocked, isn’t it? Since you also looked sure that it was me,” Carter said, his demeanor turned into a cold and intimidating one. “I didn’t know how you knew it was me, but nice one, huh?”

We are your family!”“Family? Damn hell, Damian. We are only a family in blood, but who in his sane mind would let his brother die? It is Veron. Do you call that a family?” Carter asked, his voice laced with anger and intimidation. “Now, go, since you will be busy for the whole night. And don’t think that you can use that hidden recorder to report me to the police. It is useless.”Damian remained silent. He could only clench his fist in anger before leaving Carter alone, making the latter smirk.

THE BOMB isn’t that impactful as it still left the mansion intact. The Ferremento mansion is made with materials that were fire and bomb-proof, ever since the previous accident happened.However, outside the mansion was a different case, especially since the bomb was buried there and not exactly in the mansion. It left the plants and trees dried, and some of the chairs outside also burned into ash.But it wasn’t the most important thing here. Veron had received the impact from the explosion, and upon witnessing that, Damian collapsed to the floor as his heartbeat arose abnormally.“Master Veron! Young master!” Damian heard Leo, who just arrived at the mansion, calling them, yet Damian couldn’t move anymore.He was worried about Veron, about

Epilogue: The Last Retaliation
THE hostage-taking Carter did in the warehouse spread in various news channels like wildfire. Everyone was shocked because of his sudden escape from prison, making the residents afraid for their safety, knowing that the management wasn’t doing their job properly to monitor the prisoners.With that, the warden and his apprentices, who were also under Carter’s authority, were fired from their jobs. They were replaced by a management who cared about their citizens, removing the patronage system in the prison, and bringing back justice at the same time.Due to Carter’s crimes being in high intensity, he was transferred to a high-security prison. Carter could only laugh as his mind was still in the past, thinking how rich and powerful he was, even though that wasn’t the case now.Carter had already gone insane, but it was only the beginning of his suffering.“At last, you finally arrived,” Catelyn, who was waiting in Carter’s cell, greeted. “Did you miss me?”“What are you doing here?” Cart

Chapter 336: Let's End This Now
THE lights were flickering, adding tension in the air, as Damian entered the warehouse alone. He doesn’t have any guns or other weapons with him, nor he didn’t call anyone like Carter instructed.Damian was on high alert as he continued walking when suddenly, two men wearing full black clothes started to approach him with their guns.‘Fuck,’ cursed Damian at the back of his mind, seeing how helpless he was right now.Especially after seeing Ava tied to the chair, his mouth gagged, while Catela is sleeping in the crib beside her.Despite the situation, he couldn’t give up. Damian needed to save himself along with Ava and Catela and end this fight with Carter so it wouldn’t repeat.The two men tied Damian’s hands and feet to the chair, but unlike Ava, they didn’t gag him.“It is so unusual to see how obedient you are. I never thought you could do it,” Carter, who appeared from the shadows, smirked upon seeing Damian being helpless. “That’s right. They will always be safe as long as you

Chapter 335: Everything Will Be Alright
“That was not enough for all the bullshit you did to me before. But for now, let’s call it even," Damian said.Carson only shook his head as he wiped the blood on his lips before leaving the house. And the only thing that was running through his mind was how strong Damian’s punch was… before until now.THE NEXT morning, Carson didn’t just confess what he did to the board members, but he conducted a press conference to publicly apologize to Damian. He knew that Damian deserved to clear his name and regain his reputation, and although his public apology wasn’t enough, he still did it to show his sincerity.“Starting today, Carson Ferremento is now terminated as the CEO, and will face two years of suspension because of him ruining the Ferremento Corporation’s reputation,” Piper announced, her tone colder than usual. “The position will go back to Damian Giovanni Ferremento.”Carson smiled sadly, but he knew he needed to accept the consequences of his actions.However, since Damian had a

“That bastard. He told you that even though you have a husband?” Carson asked, his teeth gritting.“Well, this is just an arranged marriage, and he knows it.” Ava shrugged. “To be honest, I would marry a man like him although he isn’t the richest, than stay with a puppet like you, who only knows how to follow someone else—”“Here,” Carson interjected, giving Ava the signed papers. “I will let you take Catela because I need to deal with something, but I will take her away from you once I'm done.”“Hah. As if I will let you do that.” Ava scoffed and rolled her eyes. “Thank you for this, Carson. Catela will benefit so much from this.”And as if Ava was waiting for this to happen, when she went again to their bedroom to take Catela, she already had her luggage with her and was talking to someone.“Yes, he already signed the divorce paper, and I’m all set…” Ava said, smiling from ear to ear. “Oh, your bodyguard is outside the house already? Alright. I will let him in.”Ignoring Carson, Ava

Chapter 333: History Repeats Itself
After Carter went out of the house unnoticed, that was the only time Carson could breathe properly. He didn’t even realize he was suppressing his breath because of fear.‘Is that really the brother I used to be with ever since I was a child?’ Carson thought, his heart racing, as he leaned into a tree. ‘We are family. Why would he threaten me like that? Is the company and the organization more important to him than me?’And upon asking himself that question, Carson got his answer. Carter wouldn’t mind killing everyone who would be a hindrance to his plans, and he is not an exemption.His gaze went to the house—Something he had because of Carter. Everything he had was him, not giving Carson any chance to carve out his own identity. He was only known for his surname, and for all his careless actions when he was in teenager days.The only thing he had that wasn’t connected with Carter was Dollie, whom he took for granted, and now his family; Ava, his wife, and Catela, their child.“Ava,”

Chapter 332: Taking Off The Facade
Realizing that Damian needs him right now, Veron took his phone and called a number. It was someone he thought he would never talk with again.“Veron,” Charlie Wiles, the CEO of the Legion Mercenaries, called. “It has been a long time, huh? What do you need this time?”“I have to ask you for a favor,” Veron replied.“A favor?” Charlie raised an eyebrow. “If it is about our operations, I’m sorry, but I need to decline. You know that we can’t take clients in other countries other than Colossia, right?”“I know that. You are not taking me as a dumb person, aren’t you?” Veron shot back, his voice laced with irritation now. “I need someone I trust to do this task for me, and I’m willing to pay any amount you want for it.”“Any amount, huh? Talking to rich people is different.” Charlie chuckled on the other line, yet he became serious afterward. “But alright, deal. What is it that you want me to do?”“I want you to find Correl Ferremento’s location and kill him,” Veron commanded, his tone s

“Carson,” Damian called as his eyes darkened in anger. “It is you, isn’t it?”“If you are asking about the new CEO of this company, yes. It’s me,” Carson answered, smirking, as he placed the documents he brought to the table. “Why? Are you surprised that a person who was once a happy-go-lucky like me would be chosen to replace you?”“Why would I be surprised if you planned everything for this to happen?” Damian shot back, the annoyance evident in his tone. “Seeing you in front of me now just strengthens my hunch. It was you who messed up with the data. How could you?”Carson’s smirk widened. He didn’t answer. Instead, he stood proudly in the middle with his arms folded.“I’m not here because of the shitty things you accuse me of, but because I have given the board of directors a proposal strategy that you can’t provide.” Carson slid the document in front of Damian. “Here. Look at this.”Damian didn’t move at first, but a few seconds later, he took the folder and looked at its contents

Chapter 330: The New CEO
“Young master,” James, whom Damian called, answered on the other line. “Young master Carson is still doing his old routine; working in his office the whole day and going home afterward.”“How certain are you?” Damian asked.James’ brows furrowed, but he still answered in a polite tone, “I’m always monitoring him, young master. I didn’t even let him out of my sight.”“I know, but something might have happened that slipped your notice,” Damian said, his tone low and serious. “The Ferremento Corporation is in chaos right now, and I’m sure Carson is involved with it. I need you to think carefully.”James obliged. The tip of his brows pressed harder on each other upon recalling the surveillance, and his lips widened as he remembered something.“There was one incident. A few days ago, Miss Ava Medivien bumped into me and caused a commotion. For a moment, I lost sight of young master Carson’s office,” confessed James. “But it was only for a few seconds.”“And that is the only amount of time t
