I showed Kai the text.

He read it once. Then again. His jaw tightened and something cold moved across his face that I had never seen directed at me before.

"Absolutely not," he said.

"I wasn't asking," I said. "I'm telling you I'm going to meet him."

"You're not going anywhere near Damon Moretti." His voice was flat. The kind of voice that sounded final like the one he used in his offices when people understood they had no choice in the matter.

I wasn't one of his people.

    I showed Kai the text.He read it once. Then again. His jaw tightened and something cold moved across his face that I had never seen directed at me before."Absolutely not," he said."I wasn't asking," I said. "I'm telling you I'm going to meet him.""You're not going anywhere near Damon Moretti." His voice was flat. The kind of voice that sounded final like the one he used in his offices when people understood they had no choice in the matter.I wasn't one of his people."He's trying to scare me," I said. "And if I don't respond to that text, he wins. He gets in my head and he gets the power back.""He doesn't have any power," Kai said. "Not anymore.""Then let me prove that to him." I set the phone down on the counter between us. "I need to do this Kai. I need to look him in the face and tell him that I'm done. That whatever this is, it's over."Kai was very still, like he was measuring the weight of what I had just said. For a moment I thought he was convinced but I guess I was wro

  • From Discarded Wife, Now the Untouchable Heiress    WE NEED TO TALK

    We stayed on the stairs for a long time.Hazel’s head rested lightly against my shoulder, the photograph of her mother still clutched in her hands. Neither of us spoke. The silence wasn’t uncomfortable. It was heavy, but it was honest. For once, I didn’t feel the need to fill it with plans or control. I just sat there with her in the dark, letting the weight of the day settle between us.Eventually, she straightened up.“I should try to sleep,” she said quietly.I nodded. “I’ll walk you up.”We stood together. As we reached the top of the stairs, the front door opened downstairs and a short figure came in.Zara.My younger sister walked in like she owned the place, which she technically did half the time. She was twenty-two years old with a sharp tongue, sharper mind, and the only person in the world who could show up in my mansion unannounced and not face immediate consequences.She dropped her bag by the door and looked up at us with a bright, mischievous grin.“Well, well,” she cal

  • From Discarded Wife, Now the Untouchable Heiress    WAR WITH THE RIVALS

    ~~Kai's POV~~I left Hazel’s room with a heavy feeling in my chest.She had looked so small lying there, still pale from passing out in the car. I wanted to stay, every part of me wanted to sit beside her bed until she woke up again. But the Sullivans were pushing, and if I let them think I was distracted, they would keep pushing harder.One of my men named Marco was waiting for me at the bottom of the stairs with four of my other men, Marco was my second hand man after Reed. Since Reed had already left with six of my best men, we were the ones left to catch up with them. They were already dressed for work–dark clothes, no unnecessary weapons visible. Marco handed me my jacket without a word.“Ready?” he asked.I nodded once. “Let’s go.”We drove in two cars, moving fast through the city streets. The target was one of the Sullivans’ main storage warehouses near the river. They had hit two of ours in the last week and tonight, we were returning the favor.The warehouse was quiet when w

  • From Discarded Wife, Now the Untouchable Heiress    AWAKE

    ~~Hazel's POV~~I woke up slowly, my body heavy and my mind still foggy, like I was swimming up from somewhere very deep. The first thing I noticed was the softness of the bed I laid in, I looked around and I noticed I was in my room.I couldn’t remember much of what happened last night or how l got in bed. My body felt weak like l had been beaten, I shifted slightly on the bed and I noticed a head resting right near my hand.Kai.He was asleep, his dark hair slightly messy, his face relaxed in a way I had never seen before. One of his hands was loosely holding mine, like he had fallen asleep while watching over me. The sight of him there–this powerful, arrogant man who had carried me into his home against my will sleeping beside my bed made something tight and confusing twist in my chest.I didn’t pull my hand away.Instead, I lifted my other hand and gently brushed my fingers through his hair. It was softer than I expected. He stirred almost immediately, eyes snapping open with that

  • From Discarded Wife, Now the Untouchable Heiress    THE WEIGHT OF LOSING HER

    ~~Kai’s POV~~I followed right behind Hazel as she stormed out of Miss Maria’s apartment. Her eyes were burning with fury as she walked towards the car, not looking back for a second. The news about her mother’s death might have had a toll on her.Reed was following behind me as we headed to the car. “Do you want me to do anything, Boss.” he asked. I stopped right in front of the back seat door and turned to him. “Find out everything about this Lawyer and his relations to the Rossi family.” I ordered.“Yes Boss.” Reed replied.Hazel had already slipped into the car, so I joined her on the other side. Her head was resting on the car door, her eyes closed and her chest heaving softly. The car ride back to the mansion was silent.I sat in the back seat beside Hazel, my body still buzzing from the tension of the evening. The old woman’s words kept repeating in my head. “Elena had been trying to leave but someone had stopped her.” The photograph of her mother with the lawyer burned in my

  • From Discarded Wife, Now the Untouchable Heiress    SOMETHING ABOUT YOUR MOTHER'S DEATH

    “I know what really happened to Elena Rossi. We need to talk. Alone.” I stared at the screen for a long moment, the words blurring slightly as shock rippled through me. This was the same number that had texted me two days ago about my mother. I had believed my mother died in a car accident so why did this number keep texting that they knew what really happened to Elena. Kai noticed immediately. His voice was low, sharp with concern. “What is it?” I turned the phone toward him so he could read it. My hand was still trembling. He read the message once. Then again. His expression changed–the heat from moments ago vanished, replaced by something cold and dangerous. “Elena Rossi,” he said quietly like he was tasting the name. “Your mother?” I nodded, swallowing hard. “Someone knows something. They want to meet me alone.” Kai’s jaw tightened. He took the phone from my hand gently but firmly, reading the message one more time as if he could pull more information from the word
