Finished

With Vanessa away, Scarlett seized the opportunity to immerse herself completely in her studies.

The next morning, she rose exceptionally early. After completing her morning routine, she drove away from Ravenshade Villa.

When she arrived at the library, Nolan was already waiting for her.

Though they had planned to study together, Nolan primarily allowed Scarlett to focus independently, intervening only to answer her questions and explain complex concepts.

Around noon, they took a break to grab light refreshments outside.

Throughout the afternoon, Nolan remained nearby, providing quiet companionship while Scarlett studied.

Approaching five o’clock, Nolan received an urgent call from the hospital-an emergency surgery required his immediate attention.

After Nolan’s departure, Scarlett continued studying alone for an extended period. She only looked

when dizziness and blurred vision finally forced her to pause.

That was when she realized darkness had fallen outside.

Gathering her materials, she proceeded to the parking lot and located her car. Just as she settled into the driver’s seat and reached for the ignition, a low, familiar voice emanated from the passenger seat. “Why did you return my gift?”

Startled, Scarlett whipped her head around to find Damian seated beside her, his expression filled with clear frustration and resentment.

“How… how did you get into my car?” Scarlett demanded, her voice trembling with alarm.

Damian ignored her question. Instead, he leaned across the console, seized her wrist, and with a single powerful motion, pulled her uncomfortably close.

Their proximity became intimate, their scents intertwining in the confined space, creating a palpable tension.

Scarlett’s eyelashes fluttered nervously. Damian stared into her deep eyes, those long lashes repeatedly brushing against his consciousness, unsettling his composure.

When he spoke again, his voice was husky and rough. “Answer me. Why did you return what I gave you?”

Though Damian appeared angry, something in Scarlett’s gaze softened his fury. He unconsciously loosened his grip on her wrist.

Seeing her wince, he worried he had hurt her.

Scarlett attempted to pull away several times, but despite Damian’s seemingly relaxed hold, she remained trapped.

She looked at him helplessly. “Damian, I cannot accept such gifts from you. We don’t share that kind of relationship. It’s inappropriate.”

Everyone knew Damian’s reputation as a flirt who lavished extravagant gifts.

He had famously spent fortunes on women on multiple occasions.

Even if mostly rumor, Scarlett had personally witnessed him dropping astronomical sums on jewelry at auctions.

Scarlett’s words appeared to infuriate Damian further. He tightened his grip on her hand and leaned even closer.

Soon, their noses were nearly touching.

Their proximity became overwhelming, their breaths mingling, the air thick with unspoken tension.

Scarlett tried to turn away, but Damian cupped the back of her head, holding her firmly in place.

She found herself completely immobilized.

His body pressed closer, radiating intense heat like a furnace.

Their lips hovered mere centimeters apart.

Panicked, Scarlett murmured, “Damian, don’t do this. I’m Vincent’s wife.”

Damian had been restraining himself, but Scarlett’s reminder only intensified the fire within.

He abandoned all restraint. Lowering his head, he captured her lips in a forceful, demanding

kiss.

His mouth carried the distinct flavors of tobacco and mint, merging into a potent combination that invaded Scarlett’s senses.

His kiss was ferocious, like a hurricane crashing against her defenses. She couldn’t evade,

couldn’t escape, couldn’t even protest.

Scarlett’s head tilted back, forced to accept his assault.

She dug her nails into his waist, pressing hard enough to nearly break skin, yet he remained unmoved.

When the pain registered, Damian released a low, guttural groan.

The sound sent shivers through Scarlett’s scalp. Releasing his waist, she began pounding her fists against his chest instead.

Damian reacted swiftly-he captured both her wrists with one hand, pressing them against his chest, forcing her to feel the defined muscles beneath.

Oxygen became scarce. Scarlett felt herself suffocating.

Damian finally released her, his eyes gleaming with mischief as he observed her flushed face. “So, sweetheart, how was that?”

Scarlett’s complexion deepened further. “Damian, you’re utterly shameless.”

Damian maintained his grip on her hand, preventing retreat. He gazed down at her reddened, swollen lips and couldn’t suppress a low chuckle. “Did you enjoy my kiss?”

Scarlett glared at him, fury evident. “Release me first.”

Noticing tears welling in her eyes, Damian realized he had crossed a line and relinquished his hold.

But the moment he released her, Scarlett delivered a sharp slap across his face. “Damian, I’m not some commodity you can purchase with gifts and manipulate as you please. I have a husband and a daughter.”
