Unstoppable Unforgiven (Shermaine and Joshua)

Chapter 530

Damien yanked his hand free from Ava’s grip. “We’re not that close.”

He was icy, radiating hostility, finding the woman in front of him really annoying.

When he tried to look for Jasmine, he saw her scamper into the elevator, flustered, as if some ferocious wolf was nipping at her heels.

That only upset him even more.

Ava’s face went pale, panic all over her. “Damien, please don’t talk to me like this. You never used to be like this with me.”

Back then, Damien hadn’t been so sharp. He’d been gloomy, mild with everyone, a polite gentleman with noble manners.

Ava thought that if she showed weakness, Damien would soften and forgive her. Her eyes glistened with tears.

Ava was pretty, and she dressed up nicely today. By any standard, she was a real beauty.

But after her family fell on hard times, whatever grace she’d had was worn away completely.

All that was left was a pretty face with no real charm, just an empty shell.

“I know I was wrong. Can you forgive me?” Ava made to tiptoe, leaning in to kiss him

A cloying perfume hit his nose. Damien shoved her away hard.

Ava lost her balance, crashing to the floor. She landed hard on her bottom, the pain sharp.

She’d always thought she was pretty. Even with her family broke, plenty of men still wanted to keep her around.

Sure, none wanted to marry her, but at least she still had that allure.

‘Why is Damien so heartless?‘ she wondered. noveldrama

Damien’s expression turned more menacing, disgust filling his eyes. “Who do you think you are?”

Ava felt crushed under the overwhelming wave of his lethal presence, struggling to breathe.

“I help you because I owe you a debt. Don’t flatter yourself.” Damien knew he’d never been a good man–then or now. If his family hadn’t owed her that favor, he wouldn’t have given her the time of day.

That so–called engagement? It meant less than nothing to him.

Since his family was destroyed, he’d had nothing left to care about. Once he became an assassin, he grew even colder and more ruthless.

He was born for the darkness. With blood on his hands, killing gave him a thrill.

Yet Ava, so full of herself, actually thought she could seduce him.

He’d never thought much of her before, and now he thought even less.

Damien was used to being alone and loved quier. He hated women chattering in his ear. He hated trouble. Even as a man, with natural physical needs, he’d rather take care of it himself than sleep with a random woman.

In his mind, women equaled trouble. So he never got tangled up with them, emotionally or physically.

But things were different now. A variable had come into his life. That variable was Jasmine.

Chapter 530

At first, Damien had found Jasmine annoying. She really was a handful

But because of Joshua’s orders, he’d had no choice but to look after her and protect Gracie.

Jasmine wasn’t exactly some spoiled rich girl, but she found ways to bother him every single day.

Sometimes he even wondered how someone so scatterbrained had managed to take care of Gracie on that cruise ship.

Slowly, though, his irritation faded without him noticing.

Taking care of her started to feel like second nature.

No matter how much trouble she brought him, he’d come to accept it.

As long as she behaved, he’d happily protect her for the rest of his life even without Joshua’s orders.

He’d even started wanting her. He wanted to sleep with her.

He didn’t get those kinds of thoughts about a woman for no reason. There was only one explanation–he liked her.
