Damien stood in the shadows, watching Lucian’s car disappear into the night. His jaw flexed, eyes narrowing until the red taillights were nothing but a faint glow in the distance. Slowly, he pulled out his phone and dialed.

The line clicked, and a deep voice asked, “Is everything going well?”

Damien’s lips curved into a tight smile, though his eyes were sharp with calculation. “There was almost a mishap,” he admitted coolly, glancing down at his closed fist. “But everything worked in my favor. I got the sample.”

“Good,” the voice replied firmly. “Make sure there are no mistakes this time.”

“There won’t be,” Damien said, his tone absolute. He slowly opened his hand, revealing the clear plastic Ziploc bag where a single strand of Alina’s hair gleamed under the faint light. His gaze lingered on it, possessive and intent, as the call disconnected.

Silence filled the air, but his mind wasn’t quiet. Who was trying to hurt Alina?

He thought back to the scene, the panic, the chaos. If Alina could be attacked under Lucian’s watch, then she wasn’t safe with him at all. His chest tightened, his obsession wrapping tighter around his ribs.

“Don’t worry, Alina. I’ll take you away from him soon enough. But first… I have to confirm what I already know.” He muttered under his breathe.

The very next morning, Damien strode into the hospital with a brisk, controlled air. He carried the Ziploc bag like a sacred treasure, his grip firm as he handed it to the doctor.

“Will this work?” Damien asked, his voice low, almost urgent.

The doctor inspected the strand inside. “It should,” he replied, nodding with professional calm. “Give me a few minutes to check it out.”

“Alright,” Damien said, though his pacing betrayed the storm inside him. Each second dragged, every tick of the clock gnawed at his patience. Five minutes felt like five hours until finally the doctor returned.

“We’re good to go.” The doctor confirmed.

Relief flickered across Damien’s face, though it didn’t ease the darkness in his eyes. “When will the results be ready?”

“In two days‘ time.” The doctor said matter–of–factly.

“Two days?” Damien’s voice sharpened, incredulous. His jaw clenched before he leaned closer, lowering his tone to steel. “I can’t wait two days.” He reached into his wallet, pulling out a black debit card and placing it in the doctor’s hand. “I’ll pay you five million to have it ready tomorrow morning.”

The doctor’s brows shot up, but the weight of the card in his hand silenced any hesitation. He nodded quickly.

“I won’t be on duty tomorrow, but I’ll make sure the results are ready and leave them with the morning shift doctor for you.”

“Good,” Damien said, satisfaction flickering in his voice as his lips curved into a faint smirk. “See that you do,”

Without another word, he turned on his heel, leaving the hospital corridors echoing with the quiet, dangerous certainty of his footsteps.

Unknown to Damien, Seraphina stood hidden at the corner of the hospital hallway, her sharp eyes fixed on him as he spoke with the doctor. She couldn’t hear every word, but the tension in his tone, the urgency in his stance, made her instincts hum.

When Damien finally left, the doctor called over a young nurse, handing her a small sealed container.

“Take this to the lab,” the doctor instructed firmly. “Tell them to handle it immediately, it’s a matter of urgency, and it’s confidential.”

“Yes, doctor.” The nurse replied, taking the sample carefully before hurrying down the corridor.

Seraphina’s heels clicked softly against the floor as she followed at a distance, her gaze locked on the nurse. She waited until the woman stepped out of the lab, empty–handed, before striking.

In a flash, Seraphina pulled the nurse into a quiet corner.

The nurse gasped, startled. “Who…who are you? What are you doing?”

Seraphina’s lips curled into a cold smirk. “No time for small talk. What was that sample about?”

The nurse blinked at her in confusion, then frowned. “It’s confidential. I can’t disclose that information.”
