Chapter 596
Immediately, the Brain nodded on his end of the line, a gesture of acknowledgment even though she couldn't see it, and his voice took on a more businesslike tone as he continued speaking. “Well, that is actually a good thing to hear. I'm glad you're recovered and back to full strength.” He paused for just a moment, as if choosing his next words carefully, and when he spoke again there was a directness to his tone that cut through any lingering confusion. “For your information, I know that you must be wondering why I actually called you out of the blue like this, and you must be finding my call actually weird and unexpected and all of that. But just know that I didn't actually call you solely for the purpose of checking out on you or anything like that.”There was another brief pause, and Serenity found herself leaning forward slightly, her curiosity now fully piqued despite her earlier confusion. The Brain's voice continued, steady and measured. “I did genuinely want to make sure

Without wasting another second, his mind made up and his approach decided, the Brain immediately pressed down on Serenity's contact and dialed her number. The moment he hit the call button, his heart started beating just a little bit faster, though he would never admit it out loud. He brought the phone up to his ear and waited, listening to the ringtone that seemed to stretch on forever even though it had only been a few seconds.The phone rang just once, the sound sharp and clear in his ear. Then it rang twice, and the Brain found himself holding his breath without even realizing it, his body tensing as he waited for her to pick up. And then, just as the third ring was about to start, the line clicked and connected.Immediately, the Brain actually heard a voice come through the speaker, and without being told, without needing any confirmation, he knew instinctively that it was Serenity's voice. There was something unmistakable about it, something distinctive in the tone and cadence t
Chapter 594
It was already two days since the disastrous attack that had shaken the entire city, two days since Damien had stepped forward and saved the day when everyone else had been paralyzed by fear and chaos. The news reports were still running stories about the mysterious hero who had appeared seemingly out of nowhere, but Damien paid little attention to the media frenzy surrounding his actions. His mind was occupied with far more pressing matters, matters that weighed heavily on his shoulders like an invisible burden he couldn't shake off.And it had been two days already since Damien and Sophia had started living together, two days since that night when everything between them had changed forever. The small apartment had taken on a different energy with both of them there, a warmth and intimacy that made even the most mundane moments feel significant. Sophia would hum softly while making coffee in the morning, and Damien would watch her from the doorway, marveling at how natural it felt t
Chapter 593
At that moment, without wasting another second, Damien continued kissing her with an intensity that made everything else disappear. They kissed each other passionately, their mouths moving together in a rhythm that felt both urgent and perfectly synchronized, like they had been waiting for this moment forever. Damien started carrying her toward the direction of her bedroom, his strong arms holding her securely against him as her legs remained wrapped tightly around his waist. Each step he took was measured and steady despite the fire burning between them, and Sophia could feel the muscles in his shoulders flexing beneath her hands as she held onto him.When they reached the bedroom door, Damien shifted her weight slightly in his arms and reached out with one hand to push the door open. It swung inward smoothly and they moved through the doorway without breaking their kiss even once. His hand returned immediately to grip her buttocks so tightly, possessively, like he never wanted to l

At that moment, Damien pulled back a little, creating just the smallest distance between them but not letting go of her completely. He looked directly at Sophia, their faces so close that their lips were barely an inch away from each other. She could still feel his breath against her mouth, warm and steady, and her own breathing was coming out in short, quick bursts that she couldn't control. His eyes searched hers with an intensity that made her feel like he could see right through her, like he was reading every thought running through her mind.Then Damien's expression shifted, becoming softer, more serious. “Well, I really want to apologize to you, Sophia.” His voice was low and sincere, the teasing edge from before completely gone now. “I know that you would definitely be worried when you saw me on the TV.” He paused, his thumb gently stroking her back where his hand still held her. “I know that you were worried sick and I am very, very sorry for making you go through that.”Sop
Chapter 591
At that moment, hearing what Damien just said, the words sinking deep into her mind and sending shivers down her spine, Sophia felt her entire body go weak like all the strength had been drained out of her in an instant. Her legs buckled beneath her and she lost her balance, her knees giving out as she almost fell to the floor. But Damien was faster. He held her so tight, his grip on her waist becoming firmer, more secure, like he had been waiting for exactly this to happen. This time he pulled her even closer, so close that their bodies were now pressed together with barely any space left between them, almost glued together. Her breasts pressed against his chest and she could feel the hard planes of his body through the thin fabric separating them. Her breathing came out in short, uneven gasps and her hands clutched at his shoulders, her fingers digging into the material of his shirt like she needed something to hold onto or she would float away.Damien's face was so close to hers n
