"Damien's intense gaze bore down on her as he asked, "Who touched you?" When she remained silent, his voice boomed in the room, demanding an answer. The butler standing nearby trembled and spoke up, "Sir, it was Mr. Reverale." Damien's expression soured and his jaw clenched with anger. He turned to face the butler and commanded, "Bring him here, now." The butler stuttered, "But sir, it's late at night..." But Damien, still fixated on the girl in front of him, pushed his hand against the wall beside her head. Turning his body, he glared at the butler who cowered under his gaze. "Do you have a better time in mind? Or should I just wring your neck?" Damien asked calmly, tilting his head. Without waiting for a response, the butler scurried out of the room and returned twenty minutes later with Mr. Reverale. "Damien, are we having a late tea party?" Mr. Reverale greeted, but Damien had other plans. Spotting a knife stuck in an apple on the table, he grabbed it and pulled it out. As Mr. Reverale went to shake hands with him, Damien forcefully placed his hand on the table. In one swift motion, he chopped off four of the man's fingers, causing him to cry out in pain. "No one touches what is mine," Damien declared. "I'm sure this will serve as a reminder for you to keep your dirty hands off her," he added, clearly tired of having to repeat himself. Meet Damien Quinn, a pureblood vampire who is arrogant and self-absorbed, and also quite stingy despite his wealth. He even haggled when purchasing a slave from the black market.
