Kiara's Pov

Damon's lips were demanding, devouring me in ways I didn't understand. Just then my phone rang, interrupting the moment.

I didn't want to stop, that kiss was so controlling that I almost forgot whose air I was breathing.

I hadn't kissed anyone since Nicholas, and I never imagined the sparks igniting again without him.

I jerked back, my face flushing as I strode to grab my phone from my bag. Damon exhaled heavily, his jaw tightening.

The look in his eyes grew dark as he pressed on his lips.

“Sorry,” I mumbled, glancing at the screen. It was my assistant, Rose.

“It's fine,” Damon murmured, stepping back, but his gaze lingered on me as he rubbed his hair.

I answered the call, managing to balance my breath. “Yes, Rose?”

“Ma'am, your stepmother is here at the company,” Rose's voice came out with tension. “She's causing a scene and demanding access to the family account. We can't handle her.”

My stepmother was at it again.

I closed my eyes briefly and said through gritted

  • Ex-wife's Sweet Revenge    26: Sweet Acceptance

    Nicholas’ POVThe shrill ringing of my phone pulled me out of sleep, cutting through the quiet morning. I groaned, rubbing my eyes as I reached for it on my nightstand. Luca's name flashed on the screen. I answered, my voice still hoarse from sleep. “What is it, Luca?” “Sir,” Luca's voice held excitement. “We got in. Kiara's company accepted your application.” I sat up abruptly, the drowsiness vanishing instantly. “What?”Kiara had accepted my application? Unbelievable. I hadn't expected it at all. “Yes, sir,” Luca confirmed. “We got the official email this morning.”For a moment, I didn't know how to react. My fingers tightened around the phone as emotions flooded through me. My eyes widened in happiness as I emerged from my bed. I had sent out applications to several companies, expecting rejections or complicated negotiations, but never in my wildest imagination did I think Kiara would approve me. A part of me wanted to believe it was her way of making peace, but I wasn't that

  • Ex-wife's Sweet Revenge    25: Sweet Plan

    Kiara's POV“Welcome back to work, Miss Kiara.” Rose greeted me with a smile on her face. I was happy to be back too, after a week of bed rest. My step-siblings were in jail, and I had ignored Ava's countless calls. I didn't even do anything to them. The police had caught them red-handed, and I didn't know how. Damon had sorted everything as he explained. “Collen!” I screamed in excitement as the old man walked up to hug me. Collen had been my biggest support ever since my dad passed away. He never stopped working with me despite the huge change in the company. Although I had given him enough funds and time to spend with his family and friends, he continued working. Collen had saved my life. And I was forever grateful to him and to God who had used him to change my story.“Good to have you back, Kiara.” He said with a big smile on his face. The rest of my staff greeted me happily as I proceeded to the meeting with my board members. “In your absence, ma'am, Mr. Collen has invited th

    Nicholas’ POV“Kiara,” I muttered under my breath as the call went on. A cold, malicious laugh crackled through the speaker, making my stomach tighten with rage. Damon. My grip on the phone tightened, my knuckles turning white as I glanced at Hollis, who was still waiting from a distance, oblivious to the storm brewing inside me. "Funny how you actually thought Kiara was calling you." His voice dripped with mockery, followed by another laugh that made my blood boil. I clenched my jaw so hard it ached.“Why the fuck did you call me?” I asked, growling. “To say thanks. For, um, saving my woman. And yes I took the credit, she would hate it if she found out that it was her cheating ex-husband who had saved her.” Damon explained. I bit my lip, all I wanted to do right now was punch him in the face. I never wanted the credit. I never wanted Kiara to know. But how on earth had Damon found out enough to pretend that he saved her?A sharp ting of frustration shot through me as I ended the

  • Ex-wife's Sweet Revenge    23: Marriage Proposal

    Nicholas' POV“Sir, the FMF company's shareholders are planning to terminate the contract unless you comply with their demands.” Allen, the director of my board, said in a warning tone. That was it. Hollis had orchestrated this. Forcing me into marriage just to save my company. I growled under my breath, feeling my board members’ eyes on me as I stared at the file on the table.I barely heard the rest of the discussion. The contract lay before me, the words blurring together. “We've had other investors show interest,” Martha chimed in. “but none are willing to commit to the one-year deal.” I nodded absently, my mind elsewhere. Sarah Cameron had already dragged my company through hell, and now, just as I was rebuilding, Hollis was ready to take her chance. She had agreed to help without asking for marriage. What the hell was she on about? I pushed back my chair abruptly. “That'll be all for today. We'll meet again tomorrow.” Without another word, I strode out, heading straight fo

    Kiara's POVA dull ache spread through my body as I forced my heavy eyelids open. The brightness of the hospital room made me squint, and for a moment, everything was blurry. My head throbbed, my limbs felt weak, and I struggled to move. “Kiara…” The familiar voice broke through my haze, filled with so much emotion that it tugged at something deep inside me. Blinking a few times, my vision cleared, and I saw Jamie sitting beside me, her eyes glossy with unshed tears. “Oh, thank God!” she choked, covering her mouth with one hand. “You scared the hell out of me.” I tried to speak, but my throat felt too dry. She quickly reached for the cup of water on the bedside table, helping me sit up slightly so I could take a few small sips. The cool liquid soothed my throat, but my body still felt unbearably weak. “How… How long have I been here?” I managed, my voice barely above a whisper. “Since last night,” Jamie said, sniffling. “You were unconscious, Kiara.”I swallowed hard, memories o

  • Ex-wife's Sweet Revenge    21: Dangerous Game

    Kiara's POV“Your sister is in danger, James. I need you to leave whatever you're doing right now.” I said to James over the phone as I drove faster. “Is this some stupid stunt? Mandy has been at her boyfriend's since yesterday.” James scoffed. Damn it! He was getting on my nerves as usual. Only if he knew the mess Mandy was into right now. “Listen to me. I don't even care. Okay? I'm only driving off because the picture was sent to me in view once,” I swallowed. “I was asked to come alone, but I can't endanger my life either. I'll text the location to you, stay around.” I said, forwarding the location to him immediately. “Are you for real? Okay, I'll meet you there.” Goodness gracious. I exhaled, approaching the location. It was a deserted building, and I could feel my heart leaping out of my chest. I couldn't involve the police. It would only make matters worse. As I parked my car, my phone buzzed with James’ text saying he was around the building. I didn't trust James, but his
