A Ruthless Revenge: the Billionaire's Ex Wife Is Back CHAPTER 146
Damien’s POVI didn’t move.I figured if I just stayed put and acted disinterested, maybe she’d take the hint and walk the other way. But of course, Leighton was never really one for hints.She strutted straight across the street and plopped down beside me on the bench like she owned the damn thing—like the whole block had been waiting for her grand entrance.“Fancy seeing you here,” she chirped, all gloss and confidence, as if she’d never been a trainwreck before this. I didn’t say anything at first, just glanced toward the café window again.Celeste is still inside.Thank God.“You look like you swallowed a grenade,” Leighton said, nudging my arm. “Relax. I’m not here to blow anything up.”Could’ve fooled me.She pulled off her sunglasses and flashed me a brilliant smile. “I just… wanted to say thank you.”I blinked, caught off guard. “For what?”“For everything,” she said, a little more quietly. “For getting my uncle off my back. For making sure Tommy and the rest of those Black R

Damien’s POVThe sky was that perfect soft shade of late afternoon—dusky blue bleeding into gold—and the pavement was warm beneath our feet.We didn’t say much. But we didn’t need to.I walked beside Celeste, just a step behind her at times, letting the rhythm of our footsteps fill the silence. No gunfire. No threats. No one screaming my name. Just the sound of the city winding down, the soft breeze brushing against our jackets, and her presence steady and close.God, I wanted to bottle this moment and live in it for a while.No mafia headaches. No hospital lectures. No family madness. No Genevieve.Just her. And me.And peace—for once.I glanced at her, stealing a moment while she wasn’t looking. The way the sunlight caught in her hair. The slight crease in her brow like she was still caught in some deep thought. What was going on in that head of hers? She hadn't said much since we left the hospital, and I didn’t dare break the spell. I wanted her to stay here beside me a little long

Celeste’s POVThe fluorescent lights in the hallway felt colder than they had a few minutes ago. Or maybe it was just me—rattled, confused, and already regretting everything.Damien didn’t say a word as he led me away from the room, one hand lightly pressing against my back. I could still feel the imprint of her fingers on my wrist, still hear the way she cried out Genevieve’s name and not mine. And when she did finally look at me—really see me—it was only to beg for silence. Not love. Not forgiveness.I stared down at the tiled floor as we walked. Maybe coming here had been a mistake.And yet… a small part of me was still wondering what Damien was doing here. He always seemed to show up at the strangest moments. At the exact right moments.But before I could open my mouth to ask, a tall man in scrubs rounded the corner and froze when he saw us.“Mr. Vaughn?” he said, blinking behind wire-rimmed glasses. His expression quickly shifted from surprise to concern.Damien’s jaw tensed. “Dr

Celeste’s POVI was scrubbing the already-clean stovetop for the third time, trying to keep my hands busy and my mind from spiraling, when the doorbell rang.My heart jumped—ridiculously, reflexively—as I straightened up, wiping my hands on a dish towel. Damien? Theo? I wasn’t sure which name my brain reached for first, and I hated that I even had to wonder.But when I opened the door, it wasn’t either of them.It’s Nathaniel Lancaster. What the hell is he doing here?!I froze, hand still gripping the edge of the door, unsure whether to slam it shut or step back and let the man in.He looked just like he had the last time I saw him—sharp suit, solemn eyes, and that quiet storm energy beneath the surface. There was something restrained about him, like he was always holding back more than he let on. Maybe that’s what unsettled me the most.“I hope I’m not intruding,” he said gently. “May I come in?”I hesitated for a breath too long, then stepped aside.He walked in, slow and respectful

Damien’s POVI took a sharp breath as I stared at my mother in disbelief. Even after all these years, she still managed to take me by surprise. She stood across from me, arms folded, like she’d just handed me a golden strategy. Like she hadn’t just stripped me bare of choice.“You should reach out to Amaya,” she said again, her voice calmer now, almost coaxing. “Invite her for dinner. A few photos together would go a long way. Gregory would see. As long as you can become his son-in-law, he will naturally persuade your father to restore your status as the company heir. I don't need to elaborate on his influence over your father…”I turned my head slowly. “No.”She blinked. “No?”“I said no.” I faced her fully now, my voice quiet but deadly. “I'm not parading around like some trained poodle just to impress my father.”Her expression cracked. “Damien—”“I’ve already taken over the underworld,” I cut in, sharp. “The real empire which I’m now building with Darrow and the others. Remember

Damien’s POVThe gates of the Vaughn estate creaked open like the jaws of some old, sleeping beast.I sat stiffly in the backseat as the car rolled up the long gravel driveway, my temples throbbing in rhythm with the rumble of the engine. Cole, the same driver who’d dropped me off at Celeste’s place just recently, opened the door with a small nod and started unloading my luggage. My legs felt like stone as I stepped out, my side still sore from the stab wound, every breath a quiet reminder that I wasn’t anywhere near one hundred percent. And yet, here I was—back in the lion’s den—because Liza had called me in a near-panic, telling me my mother was losing it and my father had returned... with an illegitimate child in tow.Perfect.Just what I needed. Family drama layered on top of mafia threats, attempted murder, and a woman I still wasn’t over.Celeste.I tightened my grip on the duffel bag slung over my shoulder, her face flashing in my mind. I hated that I’d had to leave. Hated ev
