Marrying the Man in the Dark

Chapter 1166 Displaying Affection

Damien's phone, custom-ordered by Lennon years ago with advanced anti- tracking and encryption features, had been specially tailored for him. The engineer had flown to Adania and spent a week perfecting its design. Hundreds of drafts were designed just for the external casing alone.
