Damien’s voice dropped, low and precise. “Yes. His jealousy forced his hand-made him reveal his intentions, gave me the excuse to cut him off, sever ties with Orion completely, and finally confirm who the real puppet master was behind it all.”

Maya’s voice was cautious, almost hesitant. “What… what happens to Ethan now?”

Harper snapped, rolling her eyes. “Who cares?! He wants his cake, he can eat it too. He’s a jerk, Maya! Whatever happens to him… happens. He deserves it.”

Maya’s brows furrowed, a flicker of unease in her eyes. “I… I just…”

Damien’s eyes flicked to her, a flash of something sharp-jealousy, possessiveness-passing beneath his calm mask. A brief tightening of his jaw betrayed the storm beneath. “He’s… disposable,” he said, his voice a dangerous whisper, edged with steel and cold fire. “A tool. Nothing more. He served his purpose, and now he’s useless. I could end him myself-and part of me wants to-but even if I don’t, Viktor will. He’s a liability. No value. He’ll be discarded

permanently.”

Maya swallowed, feeling the possessiveness, the tinge of jealousy, and the cold finality in his words. The weight of what it meant to be caught in Damien’s world pressed down on her. Her gaze dropped, conflicted-she hadn’t expected such ruthless clarity, and yet… somehow, she understood.

She nodded once, her voice low but calm. “Okay… I get it.”

Damien leaned closer, his gaze locking onto hers with a heat that made the air thrum between them. “You’re safe. That’s all that matters. Nothing will touch you, Maya. Not while I’m here.”

He held her gaze for a long, silent moment, eyes searching hers. Then, his voice dropped, threaded with fear and vulnerability.

“I don’t expect you to understand… or accept all of this. I know it’s too much. You never chose to be part of any of it.”

He paused, swallowing hard, as if each word cost him something.

“If you… if you decide to pull away… to run from all of this… I won’t blame you. I… I understand.”

The room held a tense silence, heavy and suffocating, as Maya processed his words-his promise, his threat, and the unspoken depth of his devotion.

Maya’s eyes welled with tears, her heart hammering painfully in her chest. Her lips trembled, caught between fear and awe.

She felt the full weight of his world pressing down-the danger, the power, the raw honesty- and beneath it all, the unwavering love he held for her.

Her hands clenched in her lap, knuckles white, before she placed one on his, eyes burning with determination and newfound courage.

“I… I’m not going anywhere,” she whispered, voice trembling but resolute. “I won’t leave you… no matter what. I’ll fight with you, for you. For us.”
