Chapter Six: Shadows of the Past
The days that followed felt like walking on glass—every step careful, every word measured.
Ava and Damon began working closely, the spark between them undeniable yet fragile.
But just as hope bloomed, a new shadow crept into their world.
One afternoon, as Ava reviewed campaign materials in the conference room, her phone buzzed with a message from an unknown number:
"Stay away from Damon Wolfe. You don't know what you're getting into."
Her hands trembled. Was this a warning? A threat?
Before she could process, Damon appeared at the door, eyes narrowing at the message on her screen.
"We have to find out who's behind this," he said, voice low and serious.
Ava nodded, feeling the old tension creep back in.
Their past wasn't just a memory—it was a storm ready to break again.
