    N’s eyes widened in surprise, and without missing a beat, she blurted out, “Which bar are you at?” The urgency in her voice was unmistakable.


    “The one on Tancy Street—the same ce we visitedst time. Are you nning to join us?” Vrie’s tone was cheerful, a stark contrast to N’s swirling thoughts.


    “Yes,” N replied, her heart racing. She hung up the phone and quickly rummaged through her closet, changing into something more suitable for a night out.


    As she slid behind the wheel of her car, doubt crept in. She hesitated, her mind racing with concerns. What if her appearance only added fuel to the fire? She couldn’t shake the thought that perhaps Damon had struck rk because of her. If that was the case, showing up would only lead to furtherplications. But if it was due to some other reason, then her presence would be nothing short of awkward.


    N’s heart sank as she recalled theirst encounter at the Sumner residence. The fallout had been messy, and she doubted Damon would lift a finger for her now.


    Taking a deep breath, she felt the weight of uncertainty pressing down on her. After a moment of contemtion, she decided it was best not to go.


    Just as she turned to return to her bedroom, her phone rang again, shattering the silence. It was Vrie. “N, I made a mistake. Damon wasn’t trying to purge anything. He was actually defending Erin; there was a confrontation with Jordyn at the mall earlier,” she exined.


    N felt a bitter smile tug at her lips as she held the phone tightly. Thank goodness she hadn’t rushed over—she would have made aplete fool of herself.


    “I see,” she said, her voice steady.


    Vrie continued, her excitement evident. “But do you think there’s something going on between Damon and Erin? He seemed really protective of her.”


    N’s gaze dropped to the floor, her heart heavy with indifference. “Maybe. I really don’t know.”


    “Anyway, it was satisfying to see rk get punched. When are youing over? I still need to grill you about moving back in. You can’t just brush me off like that,” Vrie insisted, her tone yful yet serious.


    “I’m noting over anymore. I’m just too tired today. Let’s catch upter,” N said, cutting the conversation short before Vrie could protest.


    As she ended the call, a wave of frustration washed over her. She forced herself to push thoughts of Damon from her mind. He and Erin were both single, and they seemed like a perfect match. A woman like Erin would fit him well.


    —


    Meanwhile, in the bar’s private room, Erin sat with an ice pack in her hand, ready to tend to Damon’s injured hand. But as she reached out, he recoiled, his voice sharp and icy. “No, thanks. I can handle it myself.” It was as if the warmth he had shown during the altercation had vanished, reced by a cold detachment.


    Erin, having spent thest few days getting to know Damon, reluctantly handed him the ice pack, sensing his need for space.


    “Mr. Damon, you were too impulsive. I was perfectly fine. It was Mr. rk’s secretary who offended me. Hitting him was unnecessary,” she said, her voice firm yet gentle.


    To her, Damon didn’t seem like the type to act without thought. His actions felt more like an eruption of long-buried frustration rather than a protective instinct.


    His expression remained stony. “He deserved it. He can’t even control his own people,” he replied, his voice devoid of warmth.


    Erin sensed that there was more to his words, a deeper turmoil beneath the surface. Just as she was about to delve deeper into the matter, the door to the private room swung open.


    “Mr. Sumner, Ms. Hulle, I apologize for my tardiness,” a neer announced.


    Erin set aside her questions, her smile returning as she greeted the arrival. “We were early. Please, take a seat.”


    —


    Later that night, around 11:00 p.m., N was drifting in and out of sleep when a persistent knocking jolted her awake. She frowned, turned on the bedsidemp, and squinted toward the door, still reluctant to move.


    “N, open the door. I need to talk to you,” rk’s voice echoed from the other side,ced with urgency.


    N remained still, her expression unchanging.


    “It’ste. Whatever you have to say, we can discuss it tomorrow,” she replied, her tone calm but firm.


    rk didn’t respond, but the knocking grew increasingly frantic, a clear indication that he wouldn’t leave until she opened up.


    Taking a deep breath, N raised her voice, frustration creeping in. “rk, if you keep knocking, I swear I’ll move back to my apartment tomorrow.”


    The knocking ceased abruptly, leaving an unsettling silence in its wake.


    Ignoring the sudden quiet, N turned off themp and attempted to return to sleep, her mind racing.


    The following morning, as N descended the stairs, she was greeted by a sight that took her aback—rk sat at the dining table, his expression dark and brooding. His face bore bruises, swollen and discolored, a painful reminder of the previous night.


    N paused, taken aback by the severity of his injuries. She took a seat at the table, and Patricia, ever attentive, quickly brought her breakfast.


    When rk realized that N had no intention of asking about his injuries, his expression hardened further. “N, can’t you see what’s happened to me? Aren’t you going to ask about it?” His voice was sharp, tinged with frustration.


    N regarded him with calm detachment. “Is it necessary? You probably got hurt while you were with Jordyn. I’m not interested in the details,” she replied, her tone cool.


    rk’s expression darkened, and he gripped the utensils tightly, nearly crushing them in his frustration. He wanted to tell her that Damon had struck him, but the words felt stuck in his throat. He feared that admitting it outright would only make him seem petty and weak.Conclusion

N was no longer willing to be a pawn in the games of others; she was ready to reim her narrative.
