~~ Hazel's POV ~~

I was reviewing the latest financial projections when a sharp knock sounded on my office door.

“Come in,” I called, not looking up right away.

Lisa stepped inside, her expression a mix of hesitation and mild confusion.

“Miss Saint Claire, you have a visitor,” she said carefully. “He doesn’t have an appointment, but he’s insisting on seeing you.”

I finally looked up from my screen, brows furrowed. “Who is it? I don’t have anything scheduled today.”

Lisa shifted her weight. “It’

  • From Discarded Wife, Now the Untouchable Heiress    MESSING WITH MY MENTAL HEALTH

    I couldn’t concentrate after Damon left.For thirty straight minutes, I stared at the same financial document, the numbers blurring together into meaningless shapes. His voice kept replaying in my head on an endless loop — that quiet, unshakable certainty when he said, “I’ll do whatever it takes.” The way his eyes had locked onto mine, like he truly believed every word.I finally slammed my laptop shut with more force than necessary, grabbed my bag, and left the office early. My assistant gave me a surprised look as I passed her desk, but I didn’t stop to explain. I couldn’t.I drove straight to Sophia’s apartment, my hands gripping the steering wheel a little too tightly the entire way.The moment she opened the door, her face lit up with genuine delight. “Hazel!” She pulled me into one of her signature tight hugs. “It’s been forever! What brings you here today? Is everything okay?”I stepped inside, trying my best to keep my expression neutral, but Sophia knew me far too well. Her s

    ~~ Hazel's POV ~~I was reviewing the latest financial projections when a sharp knock sounded on my office door.“Come in,” I called, not looking up right away.Lisa stepped inside, her expression a mix of hesitation and mild confusion.“Miss Saint Claire, you have a visitor,” she said carefully. “He doesn’t have an appointment, but he’s insisting on seeing you.”I finally looked up from my screen, brows furrowed. “Who is it? I don’t have anything scheduled today.”Lisa shifted her weight. “It’s Damon Moretti. He came alone. He’s very persistent about needing a private meeting with you.”I set my pen down slowly, the name landing like an unexpected weight in my stomach. Damon showing up unannounced was unusual. Since we started working together on this project, he had always been meticulous about protocol — keeping things strictly professional. It had been a relief, honestly. I didn’t know how to handle Damon any other way.I exhaled slowly. “Let him in.”Lisa nodded and disappeared.

  • From Discarded Wife, Now the Untouchable Heiress    WIN HER BACK

    ~~ Damon's POV ~~I walked into the mansion and immediately noticed the mess.Dishes were stacked on the kitchen counter, empty wine bottles lined the sink. The living room couch had clothes draped over it — Melissa's clothes, scattered carelessly. The bedroom wasn't much better, clothes were everywhere on the floor. The bed is unmade. The bathroom counter cluttered with her makeup and products.Melissa had suggested we dismiss the house helps so we could have some privacy but here she was sitting on the couch, phone pressed to her ear, laughing out loud at something someone had said on the other end of the line.She glanced at me and waved, but didn't end the call.I stood in the middle of the living room, still in my work clothes, still holding my briefcase, and just... waited, waited for her to finish her call, finish whatever she was doing on that phone that was way important than me.She finished her call a few minutes later and looked at me."Hey," she said, turning back to her

  • From Discarded Wife, Now the Untouchable Heiress    FEEL BETTER NOW?

    ~~ Kai's POV ~~I stood behind Hazel as Carlos and Clara told their story.Money laundering. The Mekazzo family. Lorenzo's threats. The affair. The phone call. The meeting that never happened. On the surface, it all made sense. It all fit together like pieces of a puzzle.But something didn't sit right with me.I watched Carlos's face as he spoke. I listened to the way Clara's voice wavered when she talked about Elena. I observed the small tells — the way Carlos looked away at certain moments, the way Clara's hands shook slightly more than grief alone would cause.“Were they telling the truth?” I kept asking myself. I was still deep in thoughts when Hazel’s question jolted me back to reality.“So this…Lorenzo, where is he now?” She asked in a calm voiceCarlos and Clara looked at each other almost immediately with worried and shocked expressions. Hazel sat back in the chair, arms crossed over her chest. “Hazel, you don’t want to get involved with Lorenzo.” Carlos said after a long pa

  • From Discarded Wife, Now the Untouchable Heiress    THE VICTIMS

    Carlos asked me to sit down."This is deep, Hazel," he said, his voice exhausted. "This goes back seven years. And I don't know how to explain it in a way that makes sense."I sat down on the chair across from them. Kai remained standing behind me."How about we start with telling me everything," I said.Carlos took a deep breath and started talking."The Rossi family business was losing it’s financial ground, it was going bankrupt seven years ago," he started in a low voice. "We were losing money, losing clients. I didn't know what to do. I was desperate, and I made a stupid decision."He ran his hand through his hair."I had this friend, Domino Lorenzo. He said he could help me. He said he knew people who could invest in the business and get us back on our feet. I didn't ask much questions because I trusted him and…was too desperate to get the family from going down. So, I just agreed to it."He looked down at his hands."I invested the last of our resources with his family. The Mek

  • From Discarded Wife, Now the Untouchable Heiress    START EXPLAINING

    The Rossi family house and living room hadn't changed much since I left. The same cream-colored furniture. The same paintings on the walls. The same chandelier hanging above us casting soft light across everything. But it felt different now. Kai and I stood in the doorway. Clara and Carlos were on the couch, laughing about something with their heads close together. They looked relaxed. Comfortable. Like they didn't have secrets buried five years deep. The moment Clara saw me, her face lit up. "Hazel!" she exclaimed, standing up. "Oh my god, we weren't expecting you! Come, come sit down. How have you been? You look amazing. The CEO's life is treating you well, I see." Carlos stood too, moving toward me with his arms open like he wanted to pull me into a hug. "Hazel, sweetheart, it's so good to see you," he said. "It's been too long. How are you? How's everything with the company?" I didn't move. I didn't step forward. I just stood there, watching them and their fake smiles

    I lowered the gun slowly, my hand still trembling as I placed it on the table between us. It was now that the weight of what I had just done settled over me like a heavy blanket.Kai stared at me for a long moment, then let out a low, surprised chuckle.“You’re full of surprises, Hazel Rossi,” he s

  • From Discarded Wife, Now the Untouchable Heiress    PLAYING A DANGEROUS GAME

    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. Melissa was already being taken deeper into the hospital, away from us, and Damon was following her, his hand on her shoulder, his expression a mixture of rage and desperation.I came through
