“Damon! It’s Damon! Damon came!” I gasped, relief flooding through me as I called out.

“Ohhh, sir Damon, you are here now!” the guard mentioned as he buckled up their pants.

Damon stood tall and imposing, his transparent glasses perfectly framing his jade blue eyes.

The sleeves of his shirt were rolled up, revealing his muscular, fair, veiny hands, now stained with blood from various angles, as if he had just come from a fierce fight. Instead of ruining his beauty, it made him look even more fierce.

He strode with large strands of steps toward the two criminals, unleashing a flurry of kicks and punches without mercy.

The room echoed with the sounds of groans, the crack of broken bones, and splatters of blood, creating a chaotic atmosphere as Damon showed no signs of stopping.

“Take them to the basement.”

“Yes, boss.”

I looked at Damon fiercely; I didn’t want to go home with him at all. Besides, I was just a useless mistress in his eyes.

“Let’s go home,” he said as he walked away,blood dripping down his left arm.

“Take her home,” he instructed his assistant, shoving a car key into his hand.

I could finally breathe a sigh of relief; my unborn baby and I were fine.

“Miss Clara, are you okay?” Damon’s assistant asked.

“I am fine.”

“That’s good, boss was worried about you.”

“Worried?” I asked sarcastically.

“Yes, only you could manage to make him worry in just one day.”

“What do you mean?”

“In the hospital, he quickly called for an emergency after only seeing that you weren’t in your ward.”

“He was the one who called?”

“Yes, Miss Clara. He had just finished a business deal when you called to say you were in danger…”

“But he didn’t care! He called me a useless mistress,” I interrupted.

“That’s the only way he could assure your safety from Lord Franklin. He’s dangerous and has been looking for a tool to use against Damon.”

“Ohhh, is that why he always has bruises, is he always attacked?”

“As for that, Miss Clara, you would have to ask him yourself.”

It's been another three months since I last saw Damon. After that incident, it was like he had disappeared from New York.

A part of me began to miss him, even his cold and indifferent personality.
