CHAPTER 34
Damien hadn’t slept well.
The image haunted him.
A photo Cherry had shown him in secret—a photo of Selene, standing too close to a man in a white shirt, their faces angled toward each other in a way that invited assumptions. It was blurry, but the message was clear: intimacy. Trust broken. Or so he was beginning to believe.
Damien stormed down the hallway with that cursed photo burning a hole in his phone. His heart thundered like a war drum, loud and angry in his chest. He hadn’t seen Selene all morning, not since the night she left his office in silence. That had already been weighing on him, but now?
Now he felt betrayed.
He found her on the balcony overlooking the garden, dressed in her soft robe, her hair still damp from a shower. Peaceful. Too peaceful.
“Selene.”
