Selene never cared about Vincent's past, nor did he concern himself with hers. They simply respected each other; that was all.
If marriage could be compared to running a company, they would indeed have made excellent partners—steady, dependable, and composed—though lacking the burning passion that often ignited such unions.
But passion was fleeting. Ultimately, every marriage would settle into companionship, much like how they were with each other now.
Vincent took a drag from the cigarette, his brows faintly knitting together. It was too bitter for his taste.
Meanwhile, downstairs, Damien still felt his heart pounding as he stepped into his car.
His phone rang all of a sudden.
It was his father—Christopher Jensen.
The voice on the other line was hesitant. "I heard you've been giving Selene some trouble lately."
The Jensen family had no idea they had once slept with each other. Still, they had sensed something unusual—Damien's unusual attentiveness toward her and her sudden decision to sever ties and move out. It had left the family feeling quietly relieved.
Damien started the car, forcing down the bitter taste in his mouth. "Who told you that? I haven't done anything."
"A business associate mentioned it today," Christopher said. "Apparently, you have been sabotaging a few of her recent partnerships."
These meddlesome fools and their endless gossip!
Damien rubbed his eyes wearily, and even in the rearview mirror, he could still see the redness around his eyes.
"Dad, don't listen to them," he said. "You know better than anyone how she avoids me now. It's just because of all those nonsense rumors that we've come to this."
Christopher sighed on the other end.
