Reader Comments Exposed The Don’s Secret Desire Chapter 11
Damian took me back to the riverside villa.
The villa was nestled in New York’s backyard, boasting a breathtaking view of the Hudson River.
I suddenly remembered the divorce papers he had drafted. One of the properties listed for me was
this very villa.
There was only one housekeeper who cleaned and cooked. Damian hadn’t kept any other women
In the master bathroom, I saw one of my lipsticks on the vanity.
I picked it up to touch up my makeup and asked casually, “Why is my lipstick here?”
Damian hugged me from behind, resting his chin on top of my head.
Through the mirror, I saw his ears turn slightly red.
His voice was low and husky. “When I miss you, I put your lipstick on my neck… imagining you kissing me…”
My cheeks burned. “So that night when I called you, you were…”
Seeing Damian so aroused yet desperately holding back, I swallowed hard.
I leaned in and kissed his lips.
That kiss was like a spark that set Damian completely ablaze.
His eyes reddened. He pulled me tight and deepened the kiss.
From afternoon until the next morning, we didn’t leave the room.
Every window in the master suite offered a stunning view.
Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, I could see the water glowing orange-red beneath the setting sun.
In the study, I could see boats returning to harbor.
From the double bathtub in the bathroom, I could see rows of swaying palm trees.
¡ even found myself wondering what surprises Damian might have prepared in the hidden bedro.r off the study.
One day… I wanted to try them with him.
Damian thought the residual Red Thorn effects were making me so passionate.
In reality, I had only been pricked once. The remaining effects were minimal.
Most of my reaction to him was completely real.
The next day at breakfast, Hollis called.
“Cressida, are you coming to the lab today? We want to run the remaining experiments again and develop the Red Thorn antidote soon.”
Damian looked up at me, then quickly looked away.
I knew he was compromising and letting me decide.
I told Hollis, “It’s the weekend. I’m spending time with my husband. I won’t come in.”
Hollis replied, “Alright, I’ll work overtime myself.”
When Damian heard “I’m spending time with my husband,” he couldn’t hide his smile.
I turned my phone off completely after hanging up.
Damian took me out on the yacht. We spent the night on the water.
In the middle of the night, strong winds whipped up the waves. We rocked with the sea.
The sound of the waves made the perfect lullaby.
I wrapped my arms around his neck and called him “darling” with real emotion.
It was like I had touched the softest part of Damian’s heart. He could no longer hold back the flood
of his love.
In the end, I couldn’t take it and passed out.
When I woke up, Damian looked guilty. “Sorry, I lost control.”
I smiled lazily. “It’s fine. You were… amazing.”
Damian’s eyes burned again.
We had breakfast on the yacht. Sea breeze lifted my hair. My skin was covered in countless hickeys.
We enjoyed this peaceful time.
It turned out that setting aside work on weekends to spend time with family could feel so good.
In the past, I had thrown myself into research nonstop and missed so many warm moments in life.
From now on, while focusing on my career…
I would also balance family, my own feelings, and Damian’s feelings.
Partners were meant to compromise for each other.
It was okay to slow down the climb.
Even if we took a detour, we could still reach the top.
That weekend, Damian and I went back to the main estate for dinner.
Don Lucchesi Sr. looked genuinely surprised to see Damian and me interacting so intimately. He
couldn’t stop smiling.
While Damian went to the wine cellar, old Mr. Lucchesi told me, “Cressida, when your father and I
arranged your marriage, Damian was against it.”
My heart tightened.
He continued, “Damian said the person he liked, he wanted to pursue himself. He didn’t want the family arranging it.”
“But your father said you were cold by nature. If Damian tried to chase you, it might take years.”
“So Damian agreed to let the family arrange it.”
“After your father passed, Damian wanted to delay the wedding so he could spend time with you and wait until you fell in love with him. I didn’t agree,”
“I said once you were married, you could still build the relationship. Looks like I made the right decision.”
I couldn’t help but laugh in disbelief.
It turned out that Damian hadn’t married me for something as simple as a business aliment
After dinner, Damian and I drove into the mountains.
On the way, I asked him, “Damian, when did you start liking me?”
Damian said with deep affection. “Do you remember your eighteenth birthday? 30 parents TEMEL me to your birthday party. You were trimming the Bowers in your family garden, and I stood beluma you watching for a long time. That was when I fell for you.”
I couldn’t help but laugh and leaned over to kiss his cheek
Three months later.
Hollis and I had developed a cure for Red Thorn and moved forward with human trials
Lilith and others whose bodies had been altered by Red Thorn were all given the antidote injection
as well.
Lilith’s wedding with Falcone was approaching. They invited me to attend, and of course I agreed
Reader comments:
[Wow, Damian fell for her that early]
[No wonder he gave her a mountain and a lab right after marriage]
[His love was hidden in every little detail.]
[Honestly, I was against them at first, but they’re just meant for each other)
[Lilith also has her own happiness-what a complete ending]
Yes… a pretty good ending, isn’t it?
