The Unloved Wife Of Damien Whitmore
Winning Back the WifeDark RomanceExclusive LoveHidden IdentityCEORebelFlash MarriageLove after MarriageSecond Chance
Selina Amber Rodriguez married Damien Whitmore at twenty-two, not because he loved her, but because his grandmother demanded it. Her parents died in a car accident pulling a teenage Damien out of the wreckage — a debt the Whitmore family patriarch considered sacred and his grandmother considered a transaction. Two years later, Selina is the most elegantly kept secret in the Whitmore empire: present at every gala, photographed beside a man who looks through her at someone else, and invisible in every way that matters.
She is not stupid. She is not weak. She is simply a woman who made the mistake of loving someone before she understood the cost.
Now she is pregnant. And she is leaving.

Chapter: Chapter 99CHAPTER 99DEREK POVThe room felt different after Damien left. It wasn’t quieter, there was a slight buzz of uncertainty in the air as the person who the room gravitated towards took his leave.The video was still on the monitor. Selina's face was still frozen at the moment just she made the last sentence. Her eyes bored into the lens with an expression that I had been trying to categorize since the first viewing and still hadn't managed.I reached over and pressed play. Nobody objected as the video started from the top.The three of us watched it without speaking.I had a lot of time in rooms where negotiations were carried out and over time, I had developed a reasonable ability to distinguish between someone perfor

Chapter: Chapter 98CHAPTER 98DAMIEN POVThe office had that slightly frustrated buzz that came after working on a project without tangible results.The city maps were on the table, surveillance stills arranged in sequence along one wall. Dean had been cross-referencing financial statements for the past two hours with the focused patience of a man who believed the answer was in there somewhere. Caleb hadn’t looked away from his laptop. Marcus was giving surveillance team directives. Cain sat quietly near the window, reviewing building schematics.I had been watching my phone. The calls or messages that came in were confirmation messages of dead ends, confirmed sighting of Kayden’s men from the surveillance teams out there. I clenched my hands. I was expecting a message or a call I had no idea what it was till it ca

Chapter: Chapter 97Chapter 97 Selina POVAlto didn't take me back to my room. Renata had slipped away when we re entered the facility.I noticed the corridor we moved through wasn't the one I'd come to recognize. We were in another section of the facility, this was emptier and our footsteps echoed loudly as we moved.I kept walking because I didn't have a choice. I knew the change of direction was because someone wanted to have a conversation. It was a also a subtle way of communicating who was in charge.He stood beneath a ceiling light in the middle of a bare corridor. He was standing alone in a stretch of empty concrete like the man who had the entire world at his feet.This was his turf. He decided where we could meet and that was very clear to me.Alto stopped several feet behind me. He glanced at him once, and Alto withdrew until he was present without being part of the conversation.He looked at me for a moment without speaking. I looked back and waited."I've decided you deserve to know why yo

Chapter: Chapter 96CHAPTER 96SELINA POV 11:04 pm.I sat on my bed, measuring the silences between footsteps in the corridor as I committed the route to memory. North end. Service corridor. Third door on the right. Camera blind spot. Northwest corner. After eleven.I pressed my hand flat against my stomach. "We're going to try again. Just stay with me."I stood up. The corridor was exactly as quiet as I needed it to be.I moved out of the room and closed the door quietly. The overhead ventilation system created a constant low hum that masked small noises, using it as a cover, I moved.I walked rather than ran; someone walking with quiet purpose looked different from someone fleeing, and that difference was key to my survival.The maintenance passage was narrow and the recycled air was slightly stale. The lighting in here was motion-activated. My hearted jumped into my mouth when the panels flickered on as I entered. I kept moving, it made no sense to stop now. I counted the distance and turned north

Chapter: Chapter 95CHAPTER 95PETRA POVI had three screens running and the fourth showing a transaction map I'd built over eighteen months. Besides one of the screen was Wren Castillo's information in a document folder.I cross-referenced the first company name she'd given me against my own records. The name appeared in two separate shells I'd already identified. It did significant work for someone who officially didn't exist. I added the connection to the map and watched three previously isolated nodes link into a cluster.I wondered who told criminals adding three shell companies made money invisible rather than merely annoying.My assistant, Chen, peep in my door. "It's past midnight.""Yes, work takes no time off." I said.

Chapter: Chapter 94CHAPTER 94DAMIEN POVMarcus looked at me across the operations table at approximately two in the morning. There was a slight frown on his face as I met his gaze. "Sir, you need to leave this room for a few hours or you're going to start making decisions that cost us." I didn’t respond; the fact that he was right irritated me greatly.I drove back to the estate in silence. The gate opened when the car approached. The lights along the drive were on, the way they were always on when the house expected someone.I stood in the entrance hall for a moment after the door closed behind me. The silence felt louder than it usually was. It was a large house and we were two people who had spent the better part of two years successfully avoiding significant portions of it.

Too Late: She Is Gone With Your Baby
Winning Back the WifeExclusive LoveGirl PowerCEOProtectiveHidden IdentityLovers ReunionRunaway with a BabyRegret
Three years into a contract marriage, Elena Voss had made peace with the truth: Adrian would never truly choose her. So when Vivian returned — beautiful, ambitious, and everything Elena feared — and Adrian carried that woman to the hospital while Elena quietly dressed her own burns alone, Elena made a decision. She would be the one to walk away first.
She signed the divorce papers. Gave up nearly everything. Booked a flight to somewhere Adrian would never find her.
She never made it to the airport.
When Elena wakes up, she doesn't know her name, her past, or the man who has apparently been tearing apart an entire city looking for her. What she does know is the tiny heartbeat she's carrying, the worn tan line on her ring finger, and the damaged document in her bag that tells her she once fled an unhappy marriage to protect her child.
Five years later, Elena renamed Aria is a celebrated musician on a national tour, a mother to a little boy who asks for a father with heartbreaking persistence, and almost a wife. Julian's ring is on her finger. The wedding date is set. Her life, rebuilt from nothing, is finally whole.
Then the tour brings her to Adrian's city.
He sees her across a crowded room and loses every rational thought he has. She looks at him the way you look at a stranger and it nearly breaks him. Because Adrian has spent five years believing she was dead. He has spent five years knowing, too late, that he loved her. And now she is here, wearing another man's engagement ring, raising a child who has his eyes, and she does not remember him at all.
He acts like a man losing his mind. He probably is.

Chapter: Chapter 28Chapter 28ARIAJulian sat back down, his elbows on his knees, his voice careful. "It would look like insecurity. It would look like the lead musician of the orchestra had a problem with a company representative over something personal, and in the industry, that kind of story travels fast and it does not travel kindly." A pause. "It would be framed as you feeling small compared to her."The specific cruelty of it settled over me like weather.She had positioned herself perfectly. She had professional standing I could not challenge, family protection I could not go around, and a narrative ready to deploy the moment I tried to remove her. If I pushed, I looked threatened. If I stayed quiet, she stayed close."So she stays," I said."For the duration of the investor agreement," he said. "Yes."I nodded once and said nothing further.Julian reached for my hand. I let him take it."Aria. I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner. I thou

Chapter: Chapter 27Chapter 27ARIAI waited until Eli was asleep, because Eli was one aspect of my life that I wasn't going to let anything else disrupt.That was always how I did it, anything big, that might lead to an argument, I did it when he was not around, at school, with a friend or asleep because that was always when I had my serious conversations with Julian, in the quiet after bedtime. I had learned that about myself somewhere in the past five years, living with Julian and building a name for myself from scratch. I did not do well with confrontation in open spaces. I needed walls around it, and the knowledge that no one else was listening.Julian was at the small desk going through his emails when I came and sat on the edge of the bed across from him."I need to ask you something," I said.He looked up. He had been waiting for this, I could tell from the way he closed the laptop without being asked, giving me his full attention without making a production of it. That was Julian. Always prepar

Chapter: Chapter 26Chapter 26 ARIA I was coming out of the small grocery store two streets from the hotel with Eli's hand in mine and a paper bag of fruit balanced against my hip when I saw her standing by the entrance. Ava. She was not dressed for coincidence. She was standing too still, too deliberately positioned near the door, the kind of waiting that told you a person had been waiting specifically for you and not for anything else. "Aria Vale," she said, and her voice had none of the warmth I had seen in the park that day with Julian. "Or should I say Aria. I don't actually know what to call you." "Excuse me?" I said, my grip on Eli's hand tightening slightly without my deciding to do it. "I think we should talk," she said, stepping closer. "Woman to woman." Eli looked up at her, then at me, his small face doing the thing it did when he sensed adults behaving strangely around him. "Mum, who's this?" "Nobody, sweetheart," I said. "Go stand by the window for a second, okay? Look at the puppi

Chapter: Chapter 25Chapter 25 JULIAN POV Something had shifted in her and I did not know what. She had been quiet since the day I ran into Ava in the park, quiet in a specific way that I had learned to recognize over five years, the kind of quiet that meant she was holding something and deciding whether to hand it to me or keep carrying it herself. I gave her the space I usually gave her. That had always worked before. Aria needed time to arrange her own thoughts before she could speak them, and pushing only made the process longer, not shorter. But three more days passed and the quiet did not lift. I found her in the dressing room after the Thursday performance, sitting in front of the mirror with her violin still in her lap, not changing yet, staring at her own reflection like she was trying to find an answer in it. "Hey," I said, closing the door behind me. "You played beautifully tonight." "Thank you," she said, but it came out distant. I sat in the chair beside her. "Aria. Talk to me." Sh

Chapter: Chapter 24Chapter 24 ARIA I told myself it was nothing for three days. It was a reasonable thing to tell myself. Julian had a life before me, a full life, with relationships and history that had nothing to do with the woman he found half-conscious and nameless in a hospital bed. It would have been strange if he didn't. I had no claim on the years before I existed to him as anyone at all. But the stone stayed where it was, and on the fourth day, while Julian was at a meeting with the venue about the final performance logistics and Eli was occupied with his tablet under the stage manager's supervision, I found myself in our hotel room going through a box of his things. I was not looking for anything specific. I told myself that too. The box had come with us from city to city for the length of the tour, a small archive box of business files and old photographs Julian kept for sentimental reasons, things he sometimes pulled out to show Eli, university photos, early agency photos, the small art

Chapter: Chapter 23Chapter 23 JULIAN I had Eli's hand in mine and a bag of his favourite crackers from the kiosk in the other when I heard my name called from across the path. "Julian? Julian Hale?" I turned. A woman was walking toward us quickly, her face breaking into the kind of surprised smile reserved for people you have not seen in years and did not expect to see again. Ava. It took me a second to place her fully, the years had changed her hair, her style, but the face underneath all of it was the same. We had dated for almost a year, a long time ago, before any of this, before Elena, before any of what my life had become. "I don't believe it," she said, stopping in front of us, eyes moving from me to Eli and back. "It's actually you." "Ava." I said her name carefully, the surprise genuine. "It's been a long time." "Years," she agreed, laughing a little. "You look exactly the same. Older, but the same." Her eyes dropped to Eli. "And who is this?" "This is Eli," I said. "A friend's son."
