She had assumed that on the day Isabelle fell into the water, Damian had let the matter drop for her sake and hadn’t pursued it further. It never crossed her mind that he had taken the maid away that very night.

On the second day after they moved into the new house, he had actually brought her here.

“I’m sorry, Dami… I swear nothing like this will ever happen again…” Aurora sobbed uncontrollably.

She was terrified.

The moment she saw Damian pulling on a pair of leather gloves, her hands began to shake. She couldn’t even force a convincing smile to her face.

Ever since Damian, Alaric, and Lucas had told her about her brother’s incident, she knew their relationship could never be as close as it once was.

She could no longer get close to Damian. Alaric, however, who had always carried a torch for her, remained as attentive as ever.

So, she had ended up with Alaric.

Today, she had come with him to attend Sienna’s wedding.

But upon seeing Damian, any trace of a smile instantly vanished from her face. Even the strained smile she managed to conjure looked distorted.

It was worse than if she had been crying.

No one knew what Damian had made her do that day, the thing that had haunted her nightmares ever since.

“Break her hands, and I’ll let her live.”

Damian’s hand, now sheathed in white leather, offered the heavy hammer to Aurora, who was kneeling on the cold concrete floor.

Her teeth chattered with fear.

“If you don’t have the nerve, I’ll do it myself. But then I can’t guarantee she’ll walk out of here breathing.” Damian’s smile was faint and utterly devoid of warmth.

He was finally smiling at her, but it wasn’t that smile–not the rare, genuine one she remembered from long ago.

Damian had zero patience for hesitation. She was frozen, too scared to move, her forehead beaded with cold sweat, her face pale as a ghost.

He let out a cold, disdainful chuckle and was about to pick up the hammer himself when Aurora suddenly lunged forward, grabbing the hand that held it with both of hers.

Aurora took the hammer from Damian’s grasp.

Damian looked down at the trembling woman before him.

He was reluctant to see his friend’s sister end up like this, but if she didn’t learn this lesson, she would only cause more trouble for others in the future.

Damian turned his back, peeled off the white gloves, tossed them to a bodyguard standing nearby, and left the room without another glance.

The maid’s hands ultimately only suffered a couple of clumsy blows from Aurora before Aurora herself fainted from sheer terror.

The woman was let go afterward. No one dared to speak a word of it.

Aurora, especially, never dared to tell Alaric or anyone else about the incident.

The maid’s hands were left useless, and the psychological torment eventually drove her mad.

A part of Aurora’s spirit broke that day, too.

“Damian, Isabelle,” Alaric greeted them with a warm smile as they approached in the wedding

venue.

Aurora also forced herself to appear composed. “Dami, Isabelle, hello.”

“Mhm,” Damian replied flatly, his tone indifferent.

Alaric was used to Damian’s reserved demeanor and didn’t think much of it.

Isabelle offered a slight, polite nod, saying nothing, treating it as a simple acknowledgment.

She knew nothing about all of this. Damian had only mentioned later that he’d “handled” the situation. At the time, she had been feeling drowsy and hadn’t pressed for details, leaving it all to him.

“Damian, when’s it going to be your turn?” Alaric asked jovially, falling into step beside them.

“What about you guys?” Damian volleyed back deliberately.

“Us? Soon,” Alaric said, his smile softening as he glanced meaningfully at Aurora’s midsection.

Damian’s lips curved into a slight, knowing smile. “Us too, soon.”

It was just as well. It was good that Aurora now had someone to watch over her, to keep her in line.

“Alaric, I need to use the restroom,” Aurora whispered, tugging lightly at Alaric’s sleeve.

Alaric turned to look at her, his expression concerned, then excused himself from Damian and escorted her away.

After they were gone, Isabelle couldn’t help but ask, “When did those two get together?”

“Alaric has always been fond of her,” Damian said plainly, a note of finality in his voice. He hoped, for everyone’s sake, that she would just continue on this stable path.

“Mr. Cross.” Brian appeared, seamlessly blending into their conversation.

He was accustomed to the formal address. Trying to call Damian anything else felt far too awkward and unfamiliar.

He glanced at Damian, then said to Isabelle, “Diana is waiting for you over by the champagne fountain.”

“Oh,” Isabelle replied, a hint of reluctance in her voice. She wanted to stay by Damian’s side.

It wasn’t like her to feel this way before.

But it seemed Brian and Damian had matters to discuss, so she decided it was best not to
