Justin held me tighter when he sensed the stiffness in my body.
“Damian, I know who you are. You’re Claire’s husband.” Justin looked at me with a faint smile. “How did you even fall for him in the first place? He doesn’t seem nearly as handsome as I am.”
Damian felt his chest tighten as his breathing grew shallow. It was as though someone had punched him twice in the ribs.
Still, his eyes were locked on Justin’s hand resting around my waist. If this were his own turf, Damian would have pulled out a gun and blown that hand to pieces without hesitation.
Justin loosened his grip on my waist. “Don’t glare at my hand like that. It’s rude. Still, I suppose I should properly introduce
myself. I’m Justin.”
Damian, dressed immaculately in a suit, somehow looked disheveled and out of place. “You’re only an orphan. You’re just a stray, yet you think you’re worthy of getting close to Claire?”
Justin raised an eyebrow and shrugged indifferently.
I furrowed my brows. “Damian, don’t speak nonsense. Why are you here? Don’t you realize this is private property? We could
call the police right now.”
Damian’s expression darkened even further when he heard me. He suddenly grabbed my wrist. His eyes were flashing with
rage as he looked at me. “Claire, how much longer are you going to play this game? I’ve come all the way here for you. Come
back with me.”
I winced and yanked my wrist free. “Go back?”
“I think you received my gift intact, didn’t you? Didn’t you see the signed divorce agreement?”
Damian let out a low, humorless laugh. “I tore it to shreds.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself. “Claire, come home. I’ve taken care of Serena. I promise she’ll never show up in front of you again.”
