He was careful not to wake her.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As Damian took in the bruises and wounds covering every visible part of Scarlett\u2019s body, his heart clenched like a fist.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The pain was so sharp that he struck himself hard across the face\u2013twice.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Tears blurred his vision.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Gazing down at Scarlett sleeping deeply, he whispered, \u201cScarlett, I don\u2019t know if you can hear me. And I don\u2019t care anymore\u2013not about you having a husband and a daughter, not even about whether you love me. From now on, I\u2019m not walking away from you again.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
After saying it, he slumped into the chair beside her bed and eventually dozed off.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Once Damian\u2019s breathing steadied in sleep, Scarlett\u2019s eyes opened.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She studied the red marks his own hands had left on his face, and her eyes welled up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She had heard every word.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But were those words true, or just another performance?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett couldn\u2019t tell, so she pushed the thought away.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Early the next morning, when she opened her eyes again, the room was empty. Sunlight streamed through the window, and the brightness kept the fear at bay.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She shifted slightly, and immediately Damian\u2019s voice came through. \u201cJust freshening up in the bathroom. I\u2019ll be right out. Don\u2019t worry.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She turned toward the sound and realized her phone was propped up, video\u2013calling him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After a pause, she replied quietly, \u201cOkay.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just then, the hospital room door swung open.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett instinctively tensed, thinking it might be Violet\u2013her mind raced with escape plans. But instead, Amanda walked in.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing who it was, Scarlett relaxed, though only slightly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Amanda carried a small paper bag, which she tossed onto the bedside table with little grace. \u201cVincent was worried you\u2019d starve in here all alone,\u201d she said, her tone sour. \u201cSent me to check\u00a0<\/p>\n

on you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
:\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett frowned. \u201cI don\u2019t need your fake concern.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
63\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finished\u00a0<\/p>\n
Amanda let out a contemptuous laugh. \u201cYou think I want to be here? I could be at home binge- watching my shows, tending my garden, or feeding my koi. Anything beats looking at you, washed up and pathetic.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett almost smiled at that. \u201cThen get out.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Amanda\u2019s temper flared. \u201cYou\u2019ve got some nerve, Scarlett, talking to me like that. Do you really still think you\u2019re some princess?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She sneered, leaning closer. \u201cTake a good look in the mirror. You\u2019re no princess. You should be thanking your lucky stars Vincent married you\u2013it was the one break you ever got.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett\u2019s laugh came out colder this time, but she stayed silent.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Amanda scowled. \u201cToo good to even answer me? You think I\u2019m just some pushover?\u201d She rolled up her sleeves. \u201cI\u2019ll teach you some respect.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
But Scarlett didn\u2019t feel the same panic she had that night alone. Damian was here.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just as Amanda raised her hand, the bathroom door opened.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damian stood leaning against the frame, dressed in gray lounge pants and a t\u2013shirt. He didn\u2019t move closer, just leveled a steady gaze at Amanda and said, \u201cGo ahead. Touch her.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Amanda spun around. When she recognized him, she faltered for a second. \u201cDamian?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He was calmly running an electric shaver along his jaw. A faint smile touched his lips. \u201cMrs. Stewart. Long time no see.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She bristled. \u201cDon\u2019t \u2018long time no see\u2018 me. We\u2019re not friends.\u201c,\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damian chuckled softly. \u201cStill as charming as ever, I see.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
There had always been rivalry between the Stewart and Langley families\u2013not just between Vincent and Damian, but across both households.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Amanda lifted her chin. \u201cI have every reason to be proud. Look at who my son is.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damian\u2019s smile turned mocking. \u201cThat deadbeat Vincent? Sounds a lot more impressive coming from you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her eyes widened in outrage. \u201cYou\u2019re one to talk! Look at yourself.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

He raised an eyebrow. \u201cOh? Look at what? How I manage to stay handsome and surrounded by beautiful women?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re shameless,\u201d Amanda spat.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damian shrugged, but his expression hardened in an instant. \u201cSo. Are you going to leave now, or do I have to make you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Amanda shot back, \u201cAnd what gives you the right to stay?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Slowly, Damian repeated her words, \u201cWhat gives me the right\u2026?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
