Stacy POV

Is she the person Ethan threatened me about? The frantic thought raced through my mind, burning like cold acid in my throat as I stared at the woman standing in my foyer. Is this his ultimate move—sending his mother to ambush me in my own home?

Before I could even process what was happening or find the strength to demand she leave my property, a tiny gasp of pure joy broke the suffocating silence.

“Grandma!”

  • Betrayed by my sister, Deceived by my husband    chapter 25

    Stacy POVI slowly raised my head, my heart hammering a erratic, violent rhythm against my ribs as the entire restaurant plunged into a suffocating, dead silence.Standing right at the edge of our table was a stunning woman. She was wrapped in a skintight, emerald-green designer dress that screamed luxury, her heavy makeup impeccably applied, but her face was completely contorted in a mask of unhinged, wild fury. Tears were smudging her dark eyeliner, and her chest heaved as she glared down at our table with blinding hatred.I swallowed hard, forcing my trembling hands to rest flat on the white linen tablecloth. I cleared my dry throat, trying to keep my voice steady as every eye in the high-end establishment burned into us.“Are... are you talking to us?” I asked, trying to maintain a shred of dignity.She completely ignored me. She didn't offer me so much as a glance, treating my existence as if I were nothing more than a piece of furniture. Instead, her bloodshot, tear-filled eyes

    Stacy POVIs she the person Ethan threatened me about? The frantic thought raced through my mind, burning like cold acid in my throat as I stared at the woman standing in my foyer. Is this his ultimate move—sending his mother to ambush me in my own home?Before I could even process what was happening or find the strength to demand she leave my property, a tiny gasp of pure joy broke the suffocating silence.“Grandma!”Tania scrambled down off the velvet couch, her small shoes pattering rapidly across the marble floor as she sprinted straight past me, her tiny arms outstretched.Evelyn Vance’s harsh, arrogant expression softened into a look of genuine affection the second her eyes landed on her granddaughter. She immediately dropped her expensive leather handbag onto the floor, dropping down to one knee to catch Tania in a warm, tight embrace.“Oh, my sweet little princess!” Evelyn murmured, burying her face into my daughter's soft hair, holding her close for a long, quiet moment. She

    Stacy POV“What is Ethan trying to do?” I muttered beneath my breath, staring at the screen of my phone until the glowing white text burned into my retinas.My fingers trembled slightly against the glass, but it wasn't out of fear—it was out of pure, unadulterated disgust. He was completely out of his mind if he truly believed I gave a single damn about his threats, his pathetic warnings, or whatever desperate stunt he was planning next. He could run to the press, he could scream his baseless accusations from the rooftops, he could try to drag my name through the mud with every tabloid in the city... but it wouldn't change reality.He had forfeited his rights. He had traded his child for my sister's bed. He was never, ever going to father my daughter again.I tossed the phone onto the passenger seat, shifted the SUV back into drive, and slammed my foot on the accelerator. The engine roared, cutting through the quiet morning as I sped away from the curb and headed straight toward the h

    Stacy POV“Don't worry, Stacy,” Damian said, his voice dropping into a low, steady baritone that instantly cut through the violent panic thrumming beneath my skin. “I will take care of him.”The absolute, unshakeable certainty in his tone acted like an anchor dropped into a raging sea. He didn't raise his voice; he didn't make grand, empty promises. He simply stated it as an absolute truth—a promise forged in iron that Ethan wouldn't stand a chance against him.I looked up at him, my eyes burning with unshed tears as I took in his towering, powerful frame. In the dark, terrifying aftermath of my world falling apart, this man—a ruthless billionaire who owed me nothing beyond a cold business contract—had repeatedly stepped up to shield both me and my innocent child from the ashes of Ethan's betrayal.“Thank you so much,” I whispered, my voice trembling with raw, unfiltered emotion. “Thank you for always being here for us, Damian.”A soft, subtle warmth softened the hard, sculpted lines

  • Betrayed by my sister, Deceived by my husband    chapter 21

    Stacy POV**“Are you out of your mind?!” I demanded, my voice exploding through the cavernous space of the dining room.I took an aggressive step into his space, my chest heaving with a violent surge of adrenaline. The cool, detached mask I had worn for the last ten minutes cracked, replaced by a raw, burning fury that scorched my throat.“The marriage is happening, Ethan!” I snapped, shoving the gold-embossed invitation so close to his chest that he had to stumble back to avoid it touching his suit. “Nothing—and I mean absolutely *nothing* in this world—is going to stop or prevent it from happening! You are a ghost from my past, a pathetic memory I am scrubbing clean from my life! Now leave my house before I have security throw you out on the street like the trash you are!”Ethan stood frozen, his jaw working silently as he absorbed the stinging lashes of my words. The toxic rage in his eyes flickered, replaced for a fraction of a second by a profound, agonizing despair. Slowly, his

    Stacy POV**“Why do you care?” I asked, my voice dangerously calm, floating across the vast expanse of the silent dining room like a thin layer of frost.Ethan’s face twisted into an ugly, agonized mask of pure rage. “Just answer me!” he roared, stepping closer, his breathing ragged and uncontrolled. “Answer me, Stacy! Were you spreading your legs for Damian Blackwood while you were still wearing my ring on your finger? Was he touching you in our bed while I was out working for this family?!”I let out a single, bitter breath, my lips curving into a cold, merciless smile that didn't reach my eyes. “You don't honestly expect me to answer that, do you?” I asked, tilting my head slightly as I looked at him. “You lost the right to ask me about my bed, my loyalty, or my heart the exact second you laid yours down in a hotel room with my sister.”“Stacy—”“You know everything you need to know now, Ethan,” I cut in, my voice dropping into a low, iron-clad register that echoed off the high cei
