Damien’s POV

Boots stopped inches from my hiding place. The guard inhaled sharply. “Someone’s here.”

He stepped around the corner—

I moved.

My hand shot out, clamping over his mouth as I yanked him backward into the shadows. His panic lasted three seconds. The chokehold ended it. His body slumped silently at my feet.

Another pair of boots approached. “Phil? You find anything?”

Not a chance.

I picked up a metal bolt from the floor and flicked it hard across the room.

CLANG—CLATTER—CRASH!

The noise echoed violently. Both guards jerked toward the opposite side of the hub.

“That came from the storage crates!”

“Go, go!”

They rushed off, flashlights bouncing.

I slipped out from behind the crates, keeping to the darkest edges of the room as alarms blinked from earlier disturbances. A side service door was half-hidden behind a shelf of paperwork.

I made for it. Behind me, Tommy’s voice thundered:

“If somebody’s back here, FIND THEM! I want eyes on every corner! MOVE!”

Perfect timing.

I pushed

    Nico’s POVI followed her.Cursing under my breath the entire damn way.“Idiot,” I muttered. “She’s gonna bite your head off. Turn around. Just… turn around.”My boots kept moving anyway, crunching over gravel and dry grass.“Yeah, not happening,” I growled to myself.The party noise behind me faded into a distant mix of laughter and off-key birthday songs. Up ahead, the ranch lights thinned, swallowed by the dark edge of the property.And there she was.Sage stood by the fence line—half in shadow, half in moonlight. Shoulders tight. Jaw clenched. Hair blowing in the night breeze. A lone, carved-from-stone silhouette against the open field.She didn’t flinch when I approached.She just turned her head, eyes narrowing.“Why are you here?”I lifted the two beers I’d grabbed from the cooler—mostly to keep myself from looking like a stalker. Or an idiot. Or both.“I wasn’t planning on talking,” I said. “Just figured if you’re gonna brood alone, you might as well be hydrated.”She stared a

  • A Ruthless Revenge: the Billionaire's Ex Wife Is Back   CHAPTER 352

    Damien’s POVI took a corner booth where shadows pooled thick enough to hide in. From here, I could see everything without attracting attention. The beer in front of me stayed untouched—just a prop.The bar was the usual kind of hell: loud music, spilled alcohol, and men who didn’t care about consequences. Levi blended right in… almost.He sat across from Tommy—leader of the Black Reapers, professional manipulator, and cancer in leather. Tommy leaned back casually, drumming his fingers on the table.One of his men slid a small packet toward Levi.Levi’s eyes widened, but he grabbed it fast—too fast—like he was afraid someone might take it back.Then the woman slid into the booth beside him.Mid-twenties, confident, dressed to distract. She ran her hands slowly across his shoulders, down his arms, whispering something into his ear.And here was the part that made my stomach twist—Levi visibly relaxed.His shoulders dropped and his breathing eased. His mouth curved into a small, dazed

    “Celeste?”Warm hands—steady, familiar—closed over my shoulders.I gasped sharply and blinked up at my brother Michael, the restroom hallway spinning slightly as my breaths came too fast, too shallow. My legs trembled. I hated it—this weakness, this loss of control—but the cold water on the floor, the splash, the sudden drenching of my shoes…It had thrown me straight back into the ocean.Michael cupped my face gently. “Hey. Look at me. Breathe. Slow.”“I… I’m fine,” I managed, though my voice was thin and shaking.He didn’t buy it for a second.“Come here.” He guided me to sit on a small bench near the hallway wall. “You’re not fine. And that’s okay.”I pressed a hand to my chest, feeling my heartbeat thundering like waves crashing against rocks.“I just… the water— it startled me,” I whispered.Michael’s eyes softened, dark with worry. He brushed my damp hair behind my ear in that older-brother way that always made me want to cry and feel safe at the same time.“You don’t have to pr

  • A Ruthless Revenge: the Billionaire's Ex Wife Is Back   CHAPTER 350

    Nico’s POVI was supposed to be fixing fence boards.Instead, my brain was stuck replaying every damn thing I shouldn’t care about.Sage Keene’s face when Martha said, “He called again. He’s looking for you.” The bitterness in her voice when she answered, “He doesn’t own us anymore.”And that photo in her room. The one turned face-down on her dresser. Sage as a kid, smiling at the camera— and beside her, a man whose face had been scratched out so violently I shouldn’t have seen it. Shouldn’t have been there at all.But now it wouldn’t leave my head.“No wonder she’s built like barbed wire,” I muttered. “Anyone raised by that kind of monster would be.”I kicked a rock on the path, frustration punching through my ribs. Why the hell was I thinking about her this much?I was so buried in my thoughts I almost missed the sound.A soft, miserable whimper.I stopped.Peered over a clump of weeds near the fence. Something shivered.A rabbit. Tiny, scruffy, breathing too fast—its hind leg twis

    Damien’s POVMark’s knock came exactly thirty minutes earlier than expected.Never a good sign.I didn’t bother telling him to enter—he was already stepping inside, tablet in hand, face drawn tight with the kind of tension only bad news could carve.“It’s worse than we thought,” he said without preamble.A muscle in my jaw ticked. “Show me.”He handed me the tablet. The moment my eyes hit the first page of the report, something cold and venomous slid down my spine.Solmar Holdings, Inc.Registered three years ago. Zero employees. No physical location. And zero operational history.“A ghost company,” I muttered. “Of course it is.”Mark nodded grimly. “No office. No payroll. No tax activity. Nothing. Except…” He swiped to the next page. “…a sudden spike in high-value transactions starting a few months ago.”My fingers tightened around the tablet.It must be Levi.The timeline matched.“And that’s not the worst part,” Mark continued.He swiped again.My heart rate kicked up.On screen wa
