CH 34:LOOSING CONTROL

Damien's POV

I paced the length of my office, my fists clenched so tightly my knuckles turned white. The headline was everywhere. Social media was blowing up, the media was running wild with it, and the worst part? I had no idea who was behind it.

"Breaking: Inside sources confirm a major secret in the Steele family. A mysterious payment was made to a private medical facility—what are they hiding?"

The article had no solid proof, no names, just wild speculations. But it was enough to send the internet into a frenzy.

I grabbed my phone and dialed Sophie's number again.

No answer.

I gritted my teeth and threw the phone across the room. It crashed against the wall, shattering into pieces.

"Damien!" Cassandra shrieked, stepping back from the flying debris.

I turned to her, my chest heaving. "Do you have any idea what this could do to me? To the company?"

Cassandra placed a hand over her stomach. "You need to calm down."
