Damien's POV I noticed it in the boardroom, not the images displayed on the screen nor the heated argument flying across the table. I noticed Alex and the lady beside him, Emma. The way his gaze followed her when she arrived, the way he defended her in front of the board like she's a goddess. The way he leaned close to her. Alex wasn't the type of man to stare aimlessly at a woman, his gaze never lingered on anyone, not even the people he respected. Alex knights commanded respect, he controlled empires and dominated rooms. People yawned for his attention and ever since his past relationship, he's been more cold and reserved to people. But yet, there he was…sitted on the head table, like he owned the conversation but then and there, he was lost. Lost in the lady beside him, Emm
