Her Divorce, His Downfall (Sophia and Damian) novel Chapter 119

Chapter 119

Damian’s mind was a tempest of dread and fury.

His wife’s fate remained unknown, Isabelle lay gravely injured, and now his uncle’s pending marriage was dragged

into the chaos.

He had no patience for anyone’s romantic tales, and even less for Sebastian’s

gloating monologue.

His fists clenched, knuckles cracking under the strain.

“Who my uncle’s fiancée looks like is none of my damn business. I don’t give a shit about your stories. Last warning. 12:37

“If I win tonight, you stay the hell away from Isabelle. Forever. Bring up my uncle,

bring up God himself—I’ll still skin you alive. Now get out.”

Sebastian flinched, the raw violence in Damian’s tone striking a chord of primal

fear.

But the memory of Vivian’s assurances stiffened his spine.

A smirk returned to his lips. “Let me share one more thing, Mr. Hall. Tonight’s little drama… it’s a gift. From Ms. Fitzgerald herself.

“She told me to have my fun. ‘Make it memorable, I’ll handle the fallout, even if someone dies.‘ How utterly pathetic you:37

you so much.”

Damian’s face darkened, a storm cloud settling over his features.

Sebastian watched the transformation with deep satisfaction; the earlier humiliation was soothed by this petty

vengeance.

Wiping the dried blood from his mouth, he turned and slid into a teammate’s idling sports car, disappearing into the night with a roar of the engine.

Silence descended upon the accident scene, broken only by the mournful sigh of the wind. It did nothing to cool the frustration and anger simmering in Damian’s chest.

He’d never met Vivian. Why this intense, targeted hatred?

The question gnawed at him, a mystery with no key.

His brooding was interrupted by Weston’s hurried approach.

The man’s expression was grim. “Just got a call from Bella. Your uncle and his fiancée have landed in New York City.”

Already?

Damian’s brow furrowed.

It seemed his elusive future aunt was in a hurry to make her entrance.

wouldn’t hold back out of respect for his uncle.

He was more than ready to teach her a lesson she wouldn’t forget.

Yet, as the defiant thought formed, a sudden, sharp pang of anguish lanced through him.

His breath hitched; his fingers turned icy.

A wave of inexplicable, crushing sorrow flooded his chest, so intense it was physically painful.

How could a stranger he’d never laid eyes on evoke such a visceral reaction?

“Damian? You okay?”

Weston asked, concern etching his features as he noticed the pallor stealing over his friend’s face.

The blood still trickled from Damian’s

temple.

A pang of guilt hit Weston.

This night, meant to be a distraction from grief, had spiraled into disaster, ensnaring Isabelle and even Olivia with her allergy.

What bad luck.

So much happened tonight. Weston could tell Damian was hurting and on edge.

and now his uncle was back in town with

a fiancée in tow.

Everything was just tangled up like a knot that wouldn’t come loose.

He quickly stepped forward and pulled Damian aside, lowering his voice.

“Let’s get that cut looked at. You can’t show up to the Hall family party looking like you went ten rounds in a ring.”

Shoving the confusing torrent of emotions down, Damian gave a terse nod.

Action was better than contemplation.

They headed for the hospital.

The figure waiting to treat him sent a jolt of mutual animosity through the room.

Connor.

The moment their eyes met, it was like sparks hitting gunpowder.

The sight of Damian, wounded and bleeding, gave Connor a fierce, private jolt of satisfaction.

Yet, the white coat he wore imposed its

own strict code.

He was a doctor first, his oath a barrier against the hatred.

He approached, his professionalism a cold mask.
