I took Hazel upstairs to her room and left her in the care of one of the house staff to help her clean up and rest.

Then I went to the basement.

The three injured Sullivan men we had captured were secured in separate rooms. Professional interrogation spaces that had been used for this purpose many times before.

Reed was waiting for me with detailed files on each man.

"The first one," Reed said, gesturing toward the door on the left, "is Marcus Chen. Low-level operative. Probably was just follow

  • From Discarded Wife, Now the Untouchable Heiress    DON'T BREAK MY HEART

    ~~Hazel's POV~~The soft, steady beep of the heart monitor was the only sound breaking the heavy silence of the hospital room.I kept my back turned to Kai, my eyes open in the darkness as I stared blankly at the beige wall. I could feel his presence sitting right beside my bed—the quiet, heavy weight of his gaze resting on my shoulders. His large, warm hand was still loosely holding mine over the blanket, his thumb tracing tiny, slow circles against my knuckles.“I will never look at another woman, and I will never hurt you like this again.”His voice kept echoing in my head, competing with the lingering images of the dim red lights, the leather cuffs, and the woman crawling toward his lap. My heart felt torn completely in two. Half of me wanted to turn around, throw my arms around his neck, and let him hold me until the nightmare faded. But the other half—the guarded, scarred half that Damon had broken years ago—was screaming at me to keep my guard up.How could I trust that he woul

  • From Discarded Wife, Now the Untouchable Heiress    CHEATING ON ME?

    I watched in absolute horror as Hazel began to tremble violently, her eyes darting around the room as if she were reliving that awful night. The trauma of her past was playing out right in front of me, triggered by the sight of my own private sanctuary."I hated it," she whispered, clutching her chest. "I hated every second of it. And when I saw you in that room... when I saw those girls... I couldn't breathe. I didn't believe you would do that to people, Kai. Why? Why would you treat people like slaves? Is it because you're a mafia boss? Does that mean you get to dominate people and treat them like they are nothing?""Hazel, no," I said quickly, my heart breaking at the sight of her distress. I reached out, and this time, I didn't let her pull away. I gently but firmly wrapped my hands around her shaking ones. "Listen to me. It is not the same. Those women... They wanted to be there. In my world, it is built entirely on trust and mutual consent. They find pleasure in giving up contro

  • From Discarded Wife, Now the Untouchable Heiress    PURE, CRUEL TORTURE

    ~~Kai's POV~~For several long, agonizing minutes, the room was dead silent except for the rhythmic, dull hum of the heart monitor. Hazel remained buried beneath the heavy hospital blanket, completely shut off from me.I didn't move. I sat on the edge of her mattress, my heart heavy with a crushing weight."Hazel, please," I murmured, my voice raspy. "I'm not going to leave until you talk to me. Come on. I'm so sorry.""I don't want to talk to you," her muffled voice came from beneath the layers of fabric. "And I don't want to hear your sorry. Just go.""What you saw back there... it isn't what you think," I pleaded, reaching out and gently tugging the edge of the blanket. She resisted at first, but with a soft sigh, she finally let me pull it down past her face. Her eyes were red, swollen, and filled with a cold, defensive anger. "It’s not what you think, Hazel. I wasn't cheating on you.""Stop," she whispered, her voice cracking as she glared at me. "What I saw... what was I suppose

  • From Discarded Wife, Now the Untouchable Heiress    GO AWAY, KAI!

    Hazel's POVThe first thing that hit me was the sterile, sharp scent of bleach and rubbing alcohol.My head throbbed with a dull, heavy rhythm, like a sledgehammer hitting concrete behind my eyes. I groaned, my eyelids feeling as though they were glued shut. When I finally managed to flutter them open, the harsh, white fluorescent lights of a hospital room forced me to squint."Hazel? Oh, thank God. She’s waking up!"The familiar, frantic voice of Sophia pierced through my dizzy haze. As my vision slowly cleared, a cluster of worried faces crowded over my bedside.My grandmother, Margaret, was staring down at me, her sharp eyes unusually soft with terror. Next to her was my cousin, Adrian, his jaw set in a tight, angry line. Sophia was leaning over the bed, tears shimmering in her eyes."What... what happened?" I croaked, my throat feeling like sandpaper. I tried to sit up, but the world immediately spun, and I fell back against the pillows with a weak gasp. "Where am I?""You're in t

  • From Discarded Wife, Now the Untouchable Heiress    PLEASE HANG ON BABY

    For a second, nobody moved. The only sound in the dimly lit room was the low, muffled bass vibrating through the walls from the club below.Then, the shock broke."What the hell is going on here, Kai?" Hazel’s voice was barely a whisper, but it cut through the red-lit silence like a blade.I snapped out of my trance. The cold fury and mindless need for control that had brought me into this room vanished, replaced by a sudden, choking panic."Hazel…"Before the girl kneeling at my feet could even react, I shoved her away. She lost her balance and fell to the plush carpet with a startled gasp, but I didn't care. I stood up so fast my chair nearly tipped over, throwing the leather crop in my hand to the floor. It landed with a dull thud near the rack of cuffs and whips.I took a step toward Hazel, my hands raised. "Hazel, wait. Let me explain.""Don't touch me!" she shrieked, flinching back. Her glassy, drunken eyes scanned me, her pupils dilated with a mix of intoxication and absolute h

  • From Discarded Wife, Now the Untouchable Heiress    MY INNER SANCTUARY

    Kai's POVThe silence of my private office was deafening. My laptop lay closed on the desk, the phantom echo of that investor’s smug, patronizing voice still ringing in my ears.“You’re young, Valentino. Sometimes you have to know when to let the bigger players dictate the terms.”I had walked out. I didn't negotiate with men who thought they could threaten my position. But the anger was still there—a dark, heavy pressure behind my eyes that wouldn’t fade. I had an empire to run, a legacy to protect, and a constant, suffocating war in my head."We're going to Onyx," I had muttered to Reed as we walked to the private elevator. "I need a drink. And I need to get out of this freaking office. What the hell is wrong with Mr. Vance?""Kai, are you sure that’s where you’re supposed to be going?" he asked, his eyes searching mine like he couldn’t believe what I'd just said."Excuse me? Can’t I visit my own club when I want to clear my head?" I questioned, stepping into the elevator.It had be

    I woke up late the next morning, to sunlight streaming through the windows in my room. For a moment I just lay there, staring at the ceiling, my mind replaying everything from the night before–the board with all those photos of me, Kai’s intense eyes, the way he had carried me inside like I already

    The emergency room was chaos.Doctors and nurses rushed past us in a blur of white coats and urgent voices.

    I stood at the top of the stairs, completely frozen, unable to move, unable to process what had just happened."No," I whispered. "No, no, no.
