Chapter 688

Isabella’s POV

My heart stopped, my blood turning cold, my breath catching in my throat as I realized... he had heard everything.

Every word.

His eyes locked with mine, his gaze piercing, cold, filled with shock, with hurt, with betrayal.

I opened my mouth, my voice trembling, my hands shaking as I whispered, “Damien... I...”

But he didn’t wait for me to finish. He didn’t wait for me to explain, to lie, to cover up the truth. 

He turned on his heel, his shoulders stiff, his head held high as he walked away, his footsteps echoing down the hall, fading into silence.

I stood there, my heart pounding, my chest tightening, my body frozen as I watched him go, as tears blurred my vision, as my world crumbled before my eyes.

And it was all my fault.

I stood there, frozen, my heart pounding, my mind reeling from the shock. I could still see the look on Damien’s face, the pain, the betrayal, the anger.
