Jaime grinned, laughter in his eyes. “I’ve been good, May! I swear!” He glanced nervously at Monroe for backup.

Monroe gave him a quick, approving nod. “Yeah, bud.” Then turning to Maya, he bowed slightly

with his usual polite demeanor. “Nice to see you again, Ms. Thompson.”

Maya raised an eyebrow, smirking. “What happened to our deal? I thought no more formalities?”

Monroe scratched the back of his neck, chuckling softly. “Right! Well… welcome back, Ms. Maya.”

Maya laughed, shaking her head playfully. “Thank you… Mr. Monroe,” she added, her tone teasing.

Jaime’s gaze then shifted, landing on Damien, who was standing a short distance behind Maya. ”

Hello, Mr. Blackwood,” he said, a mixture of politeness and curiosity in his voice. “Nice to see you

again.”

Damien stepped forward smoothly, offering a nod. “Jaime. Good to see you again. You look well.”

He paused, giving a small, teasing smile. “And please-don’t call me Mr. Blackwood. We’ll be brothe

rs-in-law soon.”

His hand found Maya’s lower back, a gentle, protective touch that made her blush lightly. Jaime’s eyebrows shot up, a flicker of surprise crossing his face.

“Wait…” Jaime started, glancing between them, his voice caught somewhere between disbelief

and amusement. “Are you two…?”

Maya’s cheeks flamed, and she looked down for a moment before shyly nodding.

Jaime let out a low whistle, shaking his head, a mixture of exasperation and relief on his face.” Finally… May. About time, huh?”

Maya’s eyes widened, and her voice wobbled, half-laughing, half-embarrassed. “Jaime! Stop-it’s embarrassing!”

“What?” he said, stepping closer, eyes bright with sincerity. “I’ve been waiting for this… waiting for you to finally think about your own happiness. You deserve it, May. I’m really happy for you.”

His grin faded, replaced by a gravity that made the air feel heavier. He turned to Damien, his gaze unwavering. “Damien… I may be younger and not know the world well enough yet, but I love my sister. I would protect her with everything I have. Please… don’t ever hurt her. If one day you feel differently-if she’s not what you want anymore-then just tell her. But don’t do anything that will break her heart, don’t treat her like she’s disposable, because she’s not. She’s everything to me.”

Damien blinked, caught off guard, the corner of his mouth twitching with an amused, soft smile. His voice was low, steady, and filled with unmistakable sincerity. “Jaime… don’t worry. That will nev er happen. Maya means too much to me. I’ll do everything to protect her, to protect both of you. I love your sister, and I’d give my life to make sure she’s safe. You have my word.”

Jaime studied him for a long moment, the tension in his shoulders easing slightly. A faint, approving smile crept across his face, pride and relief mixing in his gaze. Then he extended his

hand toward Damien.

Damien took it, and the two men shook firmly, a silent agreement passing between them.

Turning back to Maya, Jaime’s expression softened, tender and protective. “Remember, no matter what, I will always be here for you, okay? You deserve all the love in the world, May. Don’t ever

settle for less.”
