Mia's call came as a shock. Her voice, once filled with playful seduction, now carried a dangerous edge. "I thought we had something special," she purred, her words dripping with venom. "I thought we were more than just a casual fling."
Damien felt a cold shiver run down his spine. He had thought he had left that part of his life behind, buried beneath the weight of his new responsibilities. But Mia was determined to drag him back into the darkness.
"Mia, I've moved on," he said, his voice steady. "I'm married now."
"Married?" Mia scoffed. "Don't think that changes anything. I still want what we had."
Damien's heart pounded. He knew that Mia was capable of anything. She was a woman who lived on the edge, a woman who thrived on danger. And now, she was threatening to expose his secret life.
"Don't push it, Mia," he warned. "I won't hesitate to walk away."
Mia laughed, a cold, calculating sound. "We'll see about that, Damien. We'll see."
As he hung up the phone, Damien couldn't shake the feeling that he was in danger. He knew that Mia would stop at nothing to get what she wanted. He had to be careful, to protect himself and his family.
He turned his thoughts to Anya, his wife. He had never felt such a deep connection with anyone before.
