Damian Pov:

I sat down by the pool side, hands buried in watching the city lights flicker like tiny stars scattered across the earth. The silence in the penthouse was too loud. I had just returned from dinner at the Blackwood mansion,it left me with an emptiness i couldn't name.

I scoffed under my breath. "That damn dinner," I muttered.

Lira had walked into the lion's den that night with her head held high. She wore elegance like it was armor, not shaking not flinching even when Harold took those low jabs. She’d held her ground, smiled with a quiet grace, and reminded everyone, even him, why she was more than just a pretty face.

I let out a short breath. "She didn’t let them get to her. Not even once."

And that was when the thought struck me. That poised woman who stood at my side tonight reminded me of just how alone i’d always felt in that house.

I was five years the first time i realized I didn’t belong.

I remembered standing at the bottom of the grand staircase, my school certific

  • Divorcing Mr CEO    The family meeting

    The Blackwood main living room had never felt this cold. Despite the soft golden lighting and the luxurious décor, the tension was thick, unspoken, and almost suffocating. Everyone was seated like guests at a funeral, no one smiled. No one dared speak, the silence was louder than any scream. Lord blackwood stood at the head of the room like a judge about to deliver sentences. His black cane rested beside his chair, it was unused but symbolic, it's a weapon he didn’t need to lift to enforce power. His expression was stone cold.l as usual. “Good,” he began, with his voice being sharp and unwavering. “Everyone is present, now let’s get to it.” His eyes moved from one face to another. Eloise, Damian, Lira, Harold, and Serena. “This family…” he exhaled sharply, "is on the verge of collapse, I built this name with my blood and sweat. And now, you children treat it like dirt beneath your shoes.” Then he pointed a stiff finger at Eloise. “Let’s start with you,” he barked, with hi

  • Divorcing Mr CEO    Hope in his arms

    Damian’s POV: The dining room felt warm and calm, the kind of quiet you don’t want to break. Lira had prepared dinner, and we were all seated, Eloise was seated across from us, chewing slowly while scrolling through her phone, and Lira was beside me chewing her food quietly. The food was good, but my focus wasn’t on the taste. It was on her. Her hair was pulled loosely to one side, with a few strands brushing her cheek each time she bent her head. She didn’t talk much during dinner, but there was a softness in the way she moved. Just then, my phone buzzed on the table. I picked it up, and the screen lightened at my face. A message appeared on the the screen, it was from father. He had dropped a text in the family group that there would be a family meeting, and everyone is expected to be present at the meeting tomorrow. Almost immediately, Eloise’s phone chimed too. She glanced at the message, then at me. “You saw that?” she asked. I gave a short nod, still watc

  • Divorcing Mr CEO    Printed shame

    The news had reached Lord Blackwood, he was furious and immediately summoned Harold to see him. When Harold got his message, he immediately got dressed and left for his father's place.The sun had begun to set by the time Harold stepped into his father’s house. He walked straight into the grand study, the air inside was still and tense.He stood before the large desk, with his gaze being fixed on the floor. For a moment, he felt like a boy who was ashamed and deeply aware that he had done something terribly wrong. His chest was tight, and sweat clung to his palms.Lord Blackwood, his father, sat behind the desk with a hard look in his eyes. The room smelled like old books and wood polish, and the silence felt heavy."Father" Harold said almost to himself. “Sit,” Lord blackwood said coldly, not sparing Harold a glance.Harold took a seat, and without saying anything else, his father picked up a newspaper and threw it on the desk. The headline was bold: “ Harold Blackwood caught in a

  • Divorcing Mr CEO    The storm breaks

    Damian’s POV I stepped into the house and burst into a fit of laughter, I couldn’t help it.It wasn’t loud, just that low and satisfied kind of laugh that comes from watching everything fall perfectly into place.By now, the news would’ve spread like wildfire. The video of Harold was already out. I made sure of it and sent it anonymously through a burner account to all the top gossip blogs.Let the world chew on that, and let’s see how Father reacts when he sees the video. I still couldn’t believe it that Harold hadn’t even flinched when I showed him the footage in his office.He could’ve begged. But he didn’t, because he was full of himself and too proud. Too much of a spoiled brat to believe anyone could touch him.I was still smiling when I heard rapid footsteps pounding down the stairs.“GODDDD!!!” a voice screamed. “Harold?! Having sex with his secretary?! What a shameless man!”I quickly wiped the smirk off my face. It was Eloise coming into the living room, with a phone in h

  • Divorcing Mr CEO    Vengeance in a Suit

    Damian’s POVNow, I had a plan.I wasn’t going to let Harold get away with what he did to Lira, I had solid evidence that could ruin him. Photos, videos and proof of his adultery, they are all neatly stored on my phone.He thought I won't do anything after what he did to Lira?Some time ago, one of my workers from the private security team that we used during a business trip had sent me the video.He had been hired for a surveillance job and unknowingly captured Harold at a hotel, he was drunk and sloppy in bed with a woman who was definitely not his wife. I hadn't asked for the video then, but when I saw it, I knew exactly how I’d use it.He tricked Lira and made her sad. And now, he would pay. It was morning.I got out of bed slowly, careful not to wake her. Lira was still fast asleep, curled up beside me like a child. Her face was soft and peaceful. Her long lashes moved just a little, and her breathing was steady and calm.We had slept in the same bed, it meant something to me.

  • Divorcing Mr CEO    The beginning of us

    Damian’s POVI was still sitting in the living room, lost in my thoughts when I heard soft footsteps approaching. I looked up and saw Eloise coming out of the kitchen, carrying a tray of food. The rich aroma hit me even before she got close. It was Lira’s favorite, creamy mashed potatoes, grilled chicken, and that vegetable sauce she liked. Eloise held the tray with steady hands, carefully heading toward the stairs. I stood up and met her halfway. “I’ll take it,” I said, stopping in front of her. She blinked, surprised. “You want to give her the food?” “Yes.” I said and took the tray from her gently. Her eyes searched my face for a second before she smiled knowingly. “Alright, sir.” As I turned to go, I heard her whisper, “She’ll love it.” I walked slowly toward the stairs, with my heart strangely unsteady. There was a tightness in my chest that I couldn’t explain. Maybe it was nerves, maybe it was fear. Or maybe it was hope. When I reached her door, I paused and kno
