~~ Kai's POV ~~

The moment we walked into the ballroom, every eye in the room turned toward us.

I was used to that, people always looked when I arrived. It was natural. I was power personified and they could all sense it. But tonight was different.

Tonight they weren't just looking at me. They were looking at her.

Hazel moved beside me like she belonged there, like she had always belonged there. The emerald dress caught the light with every step, drawing attention, making it impossible to look

  • From Discarded Wife, Now the Untouchable Heiress    CONFLICTING DESIRES

    ~~ Kai's POV ~~I took Hazel to my private penthouse overlooking the city, I didn’t want to go back to the mansion because I wanted some privacy, I needed to clear my head. And the only place I could do that without interruption was in the penthouse I bought three years ago. Reed was the only person that knew about this place, I made sure the location wasn’t too common so my enemies could figure it out.It was past midnight and the event felt like it belonged to a different lifetime. The confrontation with Damon had shattered the careful control I had been maintaining all night.I had wanted to do more than slam him against a wall. I had wanted to end him.The fact that I had restrained myself at all was a miracle.I poured us both drinks in the living room. Hazel took hers with shaking hands, she didn't speak. She just stood there looking at the city lights below us like they held answers."You should rest," I said quietly. "It's been a long night."She looked at me and I saw somethi

  • From Discarded Wife, Now the Untouchable Heiress    LOOSING CONTROL

    ~~ Damon's POV ~~The bathroom hallway felt like it was spinning.I pressed my hand against the wall where Kai had slammed me, trying to steady myself, trying to catch my breath. My throat felt like it had been crushed. My back ached from the impact. My pride was shattered into a thousand pieces.I had just been thrown against a wall like I was nothing.Like I was weak.Like I didn't matter.The worst part wasn't the physical pain. The worst part was that it had happened in front of everyone. Well, not in front of everyone, but close enough. People had seen. People were talking. I could hear the whispers already, spreading through the event like wildfire.Damon Moretti got thrown around by Kai Valentino.Damon Moretti lost control.Damon Moretti isn't the power he used to be.I looked at myself in the bathroom mirror and barely recognized the man staring back at me.My hair was disheveled. My jaw was clenched so hard it hurt. There was a small cut on my lip where I must have hit somet

  • From Discarded Wife, Now the Untouchable Heiress    STAY AWAY FROM HER

    ~~ Hazel's POV ~~I was coming out of the bathroom when Damon appeared in front of me.He was blocking the hallway, leaning against the wall like he had been waiting for me. Which he probably had been. My first instinct was to turn around and go back into the bathroom, but I forced myself to stop that impulse. I wasn't the woman who ran anymore. I was the woman who faced things head-on."Hazel," he said, straightening up when he saw me. His voice was smooth, familiar, dangerous in a way I had forgotten."Damon," I said coldly, moving past him.He stepped into my path. "We need to talk," he stated."No, we don't," I said. "We're done talking. We're done with everything.""You don't mean that," he said. He reached out like he was going to touch my arm and I jerked away from him."Don't touch me," "Come on, Hazel," he said, and there was something in his voice that sounded almost pleading. "Look at you. You're incredible, you've built something, you've become someone. That's amazing but

The emerald dress caught the light with every step, drawing attention, making it impossible to look away. But it was more than the dress.It was the way she held herself, confident, untouched by fear, like she had walked into that room knowing exactly who she was and daring anyone to question it.I had never wanted her more.I guided her through the crowd with my hand on her back, making sure everyone saw the gesture. Making sure everyone understood that she was mine. Not in a possessive way. In a protective way. In a way that said: try to touch her and I will destroy you.My father, Victor Va

    **** ~~ Hazel's POV ~~ The day of the Delacroix event arrived like a storm on the horizon. I woke up at 5am with my heart already racing. In twelve hours, I would walk into the most important social gathering of the year. In twelve hours, everyone in the city would see me. Judge me. Decide what I meant. I spent the morning trying to stay calm. I showered. I did my nails and hair with the help of the stylist Carrie had called in earlier. I ordered tea that I barely touched. I walked around my room in the emerald dress, taking it off, putting it back on, making sure it still fit perfectly. By 5pm, I was ready and it was still three hours until we needed to leave. I stood in front of the mirror and barely recognized myself. The emerald dress clung to me in all the right places. The gold threading caught the light when I moved. My hair was pulled up in an elegant style that Carrie's team had arranged. My makeup was subtle but it made my eyes look darker, more dangerous. I

  • From Discarded Wife, Now the Untouchable Heiress    NO LONGER MY DAUGHTER

    ~~ Hazel's POV ~~ ~~ Flashback - Four Days Before the kidnapping ~~ The call came in the morning. My father's voice on the phone was cold in a way I had never heard before. "I need you to come to the house," he said. "Today. Alone. We need to talk." I knew something was wrong. I told Kai I was going. He didn't like it but he let me go with his security detail waiting outside. I went alone into the mansion where I had grown up. Where my mother had died. Where I had wasted three years trying to be enough for a man who would never see me. My father was waiting in his study. He looked older than I remembered. Tired. Like the weight of his empire was finally showing on his face. "Sit," he said. I sat. "Your stepmother and I have been discussing your situation," he said without preamble. "Your involvement with Kai Valentino. Your refusal to listen to reason. Your abandonment of this family." I said nothing. "The Valentino family is not aligned with our interests," he continued
