Chapter 5 +25 BONUS Damian shot to his feet , nearly toppling Harriet from his shoulder . He strode over and seized the ring , his eyes locking onto it with a jolt of recognition . It was the token he'd given his savior amidst the fire's chaos . He had asked Harriet about it once . She had stammered , claiming it was lost . S He hadn't pressed . Instead , he had consoled her with a lavish necklace . Now , the ring lay pristine in his palm , its weight a silent accusation . Snapping alert , he dialed my number repeatedly , but none went through . His knuckles whitened as he gripped the phone . Turning to his secretary , he barked , " Mobilize everyone ! Find Serena !
