âDamien, I deeply regret my words to Debra before.
.
Damien sighed.
âDuring the most perilous moment, she selflessly risked her own life to save yours, a testament to her love for you.

Indeed, what had I done?
Throughout all those days, I had been inflicting pain upon her.

A sneer involuntarily tugged at the corner of my Lips.

Why did you orchestrate Debraâs kidnapping?â
Calebâs POV:
Janiya momentarily appeared taken aback, but swiftly recovered, feigning ignorance.
âI have no idea what youâre talking about.
Kidnapping? I donât understand.
