Beg no more married to his enemy chapter 18
Chapter 18: Damian’s POVI sat behind my mahogany desk, swirling two fingers of scotch in a crystal glass while Aunt Lydia finished her third glass across from me.The soft leather armchair she sat in made her look small, but the bitterness in her eyes was larger than anyone I had ever brought into this office. Her face was still flushed from her showdown at Carter Vance's residence, but she wasn't crying. She was fuming.I took a slow sip, looking at her over the rim of my glass."You're sure she didn't record you?" I asked, keeping my voice steady and measured."Elena doesn't have the brains to record a conversation in her own foyer," Lydia snapped, setting her glass down on the polished wood with a loud thud. "She was too shocked. The girl actually thought she could speak to me with that smug, arrogant tone and get away with it."I leaned back, resting my elbows on the armrests. "Sending that photo to her cell phone was a nice touch. I can guarantee you she didn't sleep a win

Chapter 17: Elena’s POVMy head was still turned to the side, my left cheek burning hot from the strike. The sharp, bitter taste of blood filled my mouth where my inner lip had caught against my tooth.I didn't cry. I didn't reach up to cup my face, and I didn't stumble back.I turned my head slowly, pulled my spine up straight, and looked Aunt Lydia dead in the eye."Is that all you came here to do?" I asked, my voice low, flat, and completely steady.Aunt Lydia’s hand was still hovering in the air, her fingers trembling slightly. Her face was flushed, her eyes wide with a deep, toxic rage that had clearly been festering for a long time.Before she could raise her arm again, Carter stepped into the space between us. He didn't touch her, but his massive frame completely cut off her path to me. His face was stone cold, his jaw set tight as he looked down at her."You have five seconds to walk out that door, ma'am," Carter said. His voice wasn't loud, but it carried a dangerous,

Chapter 16: Elena’s POVThe air inside the federal courtroom smelled like old paper and floor wax.I sat at the wooden table, my hands resting flat on top of my tablet. To my right, Carter sat with his broad shoulders squared, looking straight ahead as Damian’s lawyer stood at the podium, waving a stack of papers around."Your Honor, the defense is hiding behind corporate tricks," Damian’s lawyer shouted, pointing his pen at our table. "Elena Whitmore walked out of Blackwell Entertainment with custom mixing templates and session logs that belong to her ex-husband’s label. This quick marriage to Mr. Vance is just a move to hide stolen assets.""The entity named in your filing is Whitmore Legacy Holdings, counsel," Judge Miller said, tapping his pen on his desk. He looked down at the files with tired eyes. "Vance Media filed the corporate registration papers three weeks before you filed your injunction. You served the wrong entity. I am not freezing an active company over a mistake

Chapter 15: Damian’s POVI stood in the doorway of Studio B, looking at my ex-wife.Elena was leaning against the console, her hands clenched into fists at her sides. Her hair was slightly damp from the rain outside, her coat pulled tight around her shoulders. She looked exhausted, her face pale under the fluorescent studio lights, but her eyes were still burning with that stubborn, infuriating defiance she had been carrying around since the day she walked out on me.I hated that look.I hated that she hadn't come crawling back to my house after I froze her personal accounts. I hated that she had gone straight to live radio to embarrass me in front of my board of directors. I hated her for the night of the studio fire years ago—when the smoke was thick and I was trapped under the fallen light rig, screaming her name, and she ran out the side exit to save her mother’s master tapes instead of staying to pull me out. I had carried the faint burn scars on my shoulder ever since, but t

Chapter 14: Elena’s POVThe heavy soundproof door shut behind me, cutting off the noise from the hallway outside.Chloe stood behind the mixing console, a glass of champagne in her hand. Her head sound engineer sat next to her, adjusting vocal tracks on the screen."Get out," I told the engineer. My voice was flat and steady.The guy looked between the two of us, grabbed his phone off the desk, and hurried out the door without a word.Chloe set her glass down on the board. She didn't look scared or nervous. She crossed her arms, tilted her head, and glared at me with pure, sharp hatred."You've got a lot of nerve coming into my studio, Elena," Chloe said, her voice dropping into a hard, venomous tone. "Did security forget to lock the front gate, or did Carter Vance buy you a key to this building too?""You leaked the bank retainer," I said, taking a step toward the console. I kept my hands at my sides. "You used my old administrative log-in from when I was managing your vocal s

Chapter 13: Elena’s POVThe white flash of the camera hit my eyes, burning a bright, ugly spot into my vision."Did you dump Damian the second Carter offered you a corporate line?" The reporter pushed the microphone closer, almost knocking over my water glass. "Are you using Whitmore Legacy Holdings as a cover for a private corporate payout?"My heart was beating wildly against my ribs, but I didn't hide my face. I didn't cringe, and I didn't scream. I sat bolt upright in the leather booth, fixing the reporter with a cold, unblinking glare. Years of keeping my mouth shut around Damian’s high-society friends had taught me one hard rule: the second you panic on camera, they win.Carter was already on his feet. He stepped between the lens and my face, his massive frame blocking the light entirely. He didn't touch the reporter, but his presence was so dark and imposing that the photographer involuntarily took a step back."Put the camera down," Carter said. His voice wasn't raised, b
