"Aria Sterling, instead of tormenting yourself over this, you'd be better off focusing on Damian Xavier... He really does care about you. He treats you differently than anyone else, he just never says so."
Aria Sterling looked up in surprise, her eyes wide with disbelief at Vincent Vance's words.
Seeing the doubt in her eyes, he sighed and said helplessly, "It's all true. I've been by his side for so long, and I've never seen him treat anyone as well as he treats you."
But Damian Xavier kept it all buried in his heart.
'He loves you, but he can't tell you, simply because you are his weakness. He can't put you in danger, can't let you face any risk. He couldn't bear the pain of losing you. Why else would he have me come protect you?'
But Vincent Vance couldn't possibly say that to Aria Sterling.
Damian Xavier's victory in securing control of W2 Wharf had cost Alex Alden a fortune, leaving him with severe losses.
