Chapter 139: Love, Lust, and a Little Chaos-2

Harper’s eyes went wide, and she threw her hands up in dramatic horror. “No way!”

Clarm

Ashcroft, stiff and rigid beside her, echoed the sentiment instantly, voice low and clipped. “No way.

”

Damien’s smirk widened, the kind that promised trouble, clearly reveling in the chaos he’d stirred.

In one fluid motion, he lifted the glass of amber liquid, drained it in a single, smooth swallow, and set the glass down with a soft clink that echoed in the room like a punctuation mark.

“Well,” he drawled, eyes flicking between Ashcroft and Harper, “looks like you two have a little… unfinished business to figure out. Besides… you’ve already hooked up, haven’t you? Might as well

make it official.”

Both Harper and Ashcroft froze, faces contorted in horror, words failing them. Damien’s grin only grew wider, sharp and teasing, a predator savoring the moment before the strike.

As Damien moved closer to Maya, Ashcroft’s voice sliced through the air-sharp, controlled, mock-threatening. “Don’t get too cocky! Don’t forget about the Hamilton Prince!”

Damien’s smirk deepened, eyes glinting with mischievous fire. He leaned just slightly toward Ashcroft, voice smooth and playful. “He can try… but my queen already has her kingdom to reign. She doesn’t need anyone else’s. She already has mine.”

Harper’s eyes went wide, then she grinned, throwing her hands up in dramatic flair. “Damn! That’s smooth! Ahh!! I’m a fan!! DAYA forever!!” She paused, a lightbulb flickering in her eyes. “Wait… what if I just try to seduce the Hamilton Prince, huh?”

Ashcroft’s eyes snapped to her, dark and incredulous, every line in his face taut with tension. What’s wrong with you? You can’t keep tossing yourself at every man who crosses your path!”

Harper froze, caught completely off guard, her mouth opening and closing like a fish out of water.

Damien let out a low whistle, stepping back, eyes dancing with amusement.

“Ooh… I smell jealousy.”

He extended his hand to Maya. She chuckled, shaking her head, and let him lead her toward the bedroom. The door clicked softly shut, leaving Harper and Ashcroft in a charged silence.

Harper slumped back into the couch, fingers twisting in her lap, cheeks flushed. Every glance between her and Ashcroft seemed loaded, the room vibrating with tension-as if the air itself were waiting for the next move.

Claim

Ashcroft didn’t move. But his hands curled into fists at his sides. Every muscle in his jaw was taut, every line on his face sharp. He didn’t speak, but the air around him buzzed with unspoken

irritation-an intensity Harper almost-but not quite-noticed.

Harper let out a sharp exhale, finally breaking the heavy silence. She slapped her hands down on her lap with exaggerated flair. “Well… that’s my cue! I’m outta here!”

She pushed herself up, the couch groaning beneath her, and began striding toward the door, determination in every step. Relief and mischief mingled in her movements, as if she could literally escape the tension radiating from Ashcroft.

But before she could reach the hallway, a sharp, commanding voice cut through the room like a

knife:

“Harper Lin! We need to talk!”
